Acrostic Sonnets on The Sonnets By William Shakespeare I - "FROMFAIRESTCRE" For then despite of space I would be brought, Remove you hence. I knew you at the first O monstrous fault, to harbour such a thought! My dearest lord, bless'd, to be most accursed, From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! And bootless make the breathless housewife churn; If thou art changed to aught, 'tis to an ass. Ready to go, but never to return. Each cheek a river running from a fount Shall in procession sing her endless praise. To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Except it be to pray against thy foes. II - "ATURESWEDESIRE" As victors of my silence cannot boast; This is the palace of the fearful king, Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Envenom him with words, or get thee gone So thou wilt let me live, and feel no pain. Without annoying me: and there were drawn Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? Exposing what is mortal and unsure Such childish humour from weak minds proceeds: In iron walls they deem'd me not secure; Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! III - "INCREASETHATTH" I must away to-day before night come. No noise, but silence and eternal sleep: Collected choicely, from each county some, Reply not in how many fathoms deep Empale him with your weapons round about; And they indeed had no cause to mistrust; Slain by his servant, going to put out Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, That I, unworthy body as I am, Here you shall see a countryman of yours And when the lion fawns upon the lamb, The troubled Tiber chafing with her shores, They must be bound and laid in some dark room. He stamps and bites the poor flies in his fume. IV - "EREBYBEAUTYSRO" Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Reply not in how many fathoms deep Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. But I will find him when he lies asleep, Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve And let thy Suffolk take his heavy leave. Unto another lady of esteem: That, when the greatest stroke of fortune falls, Your bugle eyeballs, nor your cheek of cream, Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. O, that prone lust should stain so pure a bed! V - "SEMIGHTNEVERDI" Speak thou no more, if all the rest will speed. Expire before the flowers in their caps, My old bones ache: here's a maze trod indeed Into the staggers and the careless lapse God-den to your worship, good Captain James. He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims Nor to the motion of a schoolboy's tongue, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Did Julius Caesar build that place, my lord? In faith, my hand meant nothing to my sword. VI - "EBUTASTHERIPER" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. But fettle your fine joints 'gainst Thursday next, Upon the winds command, bind them in brass, Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Ay, marry, sir, now it begins to work. Such harmless creatures have a true respect That I were couching with the doctor's clerk. He lived from all attainder of suspect. Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Is love a tender thing? it is too rough, Prefix'd by Angelo: see this be done, Each one demand an answer to his part Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. VII - "SHOULDBYTIMEDE" Sir, but I do; or else I would be hence. Hearing applause and universal shout, Or that mine eyes, mine ears, or any sense, Under an oak whose antique root peeps out Let in that amity which you have made; Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time. Brethren and sisters of the hold-door trade, You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. To find out practises of cunning hell, I would thou wert so happy by thy stay, My necessaries are embark'd. Farewell. Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Did I impale him with the regal crown? Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. VIII - "CEASEHISTENDER" Can bring him to his sweet up-locked treasure, Except some petty towns of no import: And punish them to your height of pleasure. Son to the queen, after his own report; Each jealous of the other, as the stung Had tongue at will and yet was never loud, I was provoked by her slanderous tongue, She that was ever fair and never proud, To follow Caesar in his triumph, since Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, Deserve as full as fortunate a bed Except it be to pray against thy foes. Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. IX - "HEIRMIGHTBEARH" He was quick mettle when he went to school. Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, I told you, I, he was a frantic fool, Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Mistress of passion, sways it to the mood If you do censure me by what you were, Give me some music; music, moody food Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir: The ancient Roman honour more appears Beats in this hollow prison of my flesh, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, As vaded gloss no rubbing will refresh, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Hath he deserved to lose his birthright thus? X - "ISMEMORYBUTTHO" I prattle out of fashion, and I dote So cowardly; and but for these vile guns, Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Mocking the air with colours idly spread, Of all thy sex; most monster-like, be shown Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. Your right of birth, your empery, your own. By bloody hands, in sleeping on your beds! Upon the next live creature that it sees. That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, There's a trim rabble let in: are all these Have utter'd truth: which if you seek to prove, O that my prayers could such affection move! XI - "UCONTRACTEDTOT" Upon this business my appearance make Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone; Or else my heart, concealing it, will break; Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone, The soil, the profit, and this kind of life, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. And next his throat unto the butcher's knife. Comes this way to the melancholy vale, To leave that latest which concerns him first, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst. That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. Of either's colour was the other queen, True colours, and not ourselves be seen? XII - "HINEOWNBRIGHTE" His rudeness so with his authorized youth In whose comparison all whites are ink, Now will I charge you in the band of truth, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Out of his subject; and we here dispatch Were it not pity that this goodly boy Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch: But now I lived, and life was death's annoy; Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. I rather wish you foes than hollow friends: Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son.- He tells her, no; to-morrow he intends Then, Timon, presently prepare thy grave; Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! XIII - "YESFEEDSTTHYLI" You press me far, and therefore I will yield. Effect it with some care, that he may prove Seek Percy and thyself about the field: From his soft bosom never to remove, Early and late, debating to and fro England did never owe so sweet a hope, Die to themselves. Sweet roses do not so; Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, True, madam: and, to comfort you with chance, The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, Her brother is in secret come from France; You here at Milford-Haven with your ships: Look for the news that the Guildhall affords. If for the last, say ay, and to it, lords. XIV - "GHTSTFLAMEWITH" Giving my verdict on the white rose side. How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? To die upon the bed my father died, So tender of rebukes that words are strokes To slay your sovereign and destroy the realm. From south to west on wing soaring aloft, Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, A trusty villain, sir, that very oft, Might be a copy to these younger times; Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Would without lapsing suffer: nay, sometimes, I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours That I have hoisted sail to all the winds He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. XV - "SELFSUBSTANTIA" Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Laid them before you; you would throw them off, For whom he now is banish'd, her own price Sometime 'tis mad and too much talk affords. Undo that prayer, by crying out as loud, But I must needs to the Tower, my lords? She that was ever fair and never proud, They know their master loves to be aloft, And you yourself shall keep the key of it. Not very well; but I have met him oft; Then where you please, and shall be thought most fit I beseech your honour, one piece for me. And throw it thence into the raging sea! XVI - "LFUELMAKINGAFA" Leave gormandizing; know the grave doth gape For me, the gold of France did not seduce; Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep. My lord, in the base court he doth attend And then awake as from a pleasant sleep. Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, Into one giant arm, it shall not force Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse. Are of imagination all compact: For grief is proud and makes his owner stoop. And wear his colours like a tumbler's hoop! XVII - "MINEWHEREABUND" My proud heart sues, and prompts my tongue to speak. I'll call for pen and ink, and write my mind. Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Expect him here: when he shall come and find Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: How troublesome it sat upon my head: Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, Envy your great deservings and good name, Appear'd to me last night, for ne'er was dream But most himself, if he could see his shame. Unto another lady of esteem: Now to the bottom dost thou search my wound: Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? XVIII - "ANCELIESTHYSEL" As doth a sail, fill'd with a fretting gust, Nor to comply with heat--the young affects Cries 'Excellent! 'tis Agamemnon just. Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Is he so hasty that he doth suppose Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Soldier, thou art: but his whole action grows To be of such a weak and silly mind How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? You not your child well loving, yet I find Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Let me, upon my knee, prevail in this. XIX - "FTHYFOETOTHYSW" From the still-vex'd Bermoothes, there she's hid: Thy private feasting to a public fast, Here is your hand and seal for what I did. You must no more call it York-place, that's past; For 'tis no trusting to yond foolish lout, Outbrave the heart most daring on the earth, Empale him with your weapons round about; Though he had twinn'd with me, both at a birth, One sudden foil shall never breed distrust. To this great stage of fools. This' a good block. Hark, villains! I will grind your bones to dust You'll find it wholesome. Lo, where comes that rock Still live they and for ever may they last! Will scare the herd, and so my shoot is lost. XX - "EETSELFTOOCRUE" Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee To play with mammets and to tilt with lips: Show me thy humble heart, and not thy knee, Either thou art most ignorant by age, Look upon him, love him; he worships you. From treason's secret knife and traitors' rage To wife for Edward: if this news be true, Of noble blood in this declining land. O thou, the earthly author of my blood, Came tripping by; but in her maiden hand Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Upon mine hostess there: good sir, make haste. Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. XXI - "LTHOUTHATARTNO" Likely in time to bless a regal throne. The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, Here lies thy heart, thy sinews, and thy bone. Of both is flatter'd; but he neither loves, Unto the climate that they point upon. The dead men's blood, the pining maidens groans, Hark, canst thou hear me? I will play the swan. And I will kiss thy detestable bones Tell them your feats; whilst they with joyful tears A nurse of me. Lord, how your favour's changed Ram thou thy fruitful tidings in mine ears, That is my home of love: if I have ranged, Now civil wounds are stopp'd, peace lives again: Off with my boots, you rogues! you villains, when? XXII - "WTHEWORLDSFRES" When gouty keepers of thee cannot stand. Thy place in council thou hast rudely lost. His eye commends the leading to his hand; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Whether I live or die, be you the sons Or I shall live your epitaph to make, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Like a milch doe, whose swelling dugs do ache, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; She that is queen of Tunis; she that dwells Falstaff will learn the humour of the age, Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: Enow to press a royal merchant down Shall rain their drift of bullets on this town. XXIII - "HORNAMENTANDON" How smooth and even they do bear themselves! One step I have advanc'd thee. If thou dost Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; A vengeance on your crafty withered hide! My better angel is a man right fair, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. No rightful plea might plead for justice there: Though 'twere to buy a world of happy days, And thou shalt be the third if this sword hold. Nor posted off their suits with slow delays; Dearer than Plutus' mine, richer than gold: Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Now, fair one, does your business follow us? XXIV - "LYHERALDTOTHEG" Light wenches may prove plagues to men forsworn; You sleeping safe, they bring to you unrest; He answer'd thus: 'Young Talbot was not born Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. And to fulfil his prince' desire, Lean, rent and beggar'd by the strumpet wind! Doth too too oft betake him to retire, They'll be in fresher robes, or they will pluck O, now you look like Hubert! all this while Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck, Hark, hark! one knocks: Portia, go in awhile; Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Give her an hundred marks. I'll to the queen. XXV - "AUDYSPRINGWITH" A stand where you may make the fairest shoot. Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? Your wit makes wise things foolish: when we greet, She hung about my neck, and kiss on kiss Poor honest lord, brought low by his own heart, Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? In God's name and the king's, say who thou art Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Going to find a bare-foot brother out Will they not hear? What, ho! you men, you beasts, It is thy business that I go about. The one by toil, the other to complain Here therefore for a while I will remain. XXVI - "INTHINEOWNBUDB" In the which hope I blush, and hide my sword. No vessel can peep forth, but 'tis as soon The title is affeer'd! Fare thee well, lord: He was but as the cuckoo is in June, I am a lamb: but if you brave the Moor, Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint Exposing what is mortal and unsure O, I could hew up rocks and fight with flint, Whose foot spurns back the ocean's roaring tides Next to thyself and my young rover, he's Between whose endless jar justice resides, Upon the next live creature that it sees. Disguise the holy strength of their command, By most mechanical and dirty hand. XXVII - "URIESTTHYCONTE" Upon thy princely warrant, I descend Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; I'll change my black gown for a faithful friend. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; So thrive I in my dangerous attempt The law of friendship bids me to conceal; The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. Your infants in your arms, and there have sat Came pouring, like the tide into a breach, O, that way madness lies; let me shun that! Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; To his most royal person, hither come Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? XXVIII - "NTANDTENDERCHU" Now keep your holy word: go meet the French, Three great oaths would scarce make that be believed. And in that sea of blood my boy did drench Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived, Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, To sue to live, I find I seek to die; Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Now, Dian, from thy altar do I fly, Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Coucheth the fowl below with his wings' shade, Hence! I am qualmish at the smell of leek. Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. XXIX - "RLMAKESTWASTEI" Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, My sacred aunt, should by my mortal sword And the device he bears upon his shield King Henry and the prince his son are gone: Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. The duke is made protector of the realm; Which he to seek of me again, perforce, A trusty villain, sir, that very oft, Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse; They know their master loves to be aloft, Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. It made me laugh to see the villain run. XXX - "NNIGGARDINGPIT" No, no, I will not, having breath to cry: Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords It adds a precious seeing to the eye; Give signal to the fight, and to it, lords! Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word And be not peevish-fond in great designs. Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines? It was your pleasure, and your own remorse; Neither entitled in the other's heart. Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse. Please you, I'll meet with you upon the mart If it be made of penetrable stuff; Thou art thy father's daughter; there's enough. XXXI - "YTHEWORLDORELS" You gave me this: but take it, sir, again. The world affords no law to make thee rich; He said the truth: and what said Surrey then? Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which We tread upon, and never think of it. Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep. Repair hither and say you are not fit. Let what is dear in Sicily be cheap: Dumain transform'd! four woodcocks in a dish! Of all that I do know: nor know I aught Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum Shallow. A better instance, I say; come. XXXII - "ETHISGLUTTONBE" Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, That dims the honour of this warlike isle! Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like I do mistake my person all this while: Such an immodest raiment, if shame live Go back again, and be new beaten home? Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Unless he do submit himself to Rome. That keeps his leaves in spite of any storm, To bathe my lips upon; this hand, whose touch, Or take his life there: this if she perform, No, no, my lord, your grace is perjured much, Bright star of Venus, fall'n down on the earth, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. XXXIII - "TOEATTHEWORLDS" To tear and havoc more than she can eat. Of sighs, of groans, of sorrow and of teen! Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet A hair-brain'd Hotspur, govern'd by a spleen: That they take place, when virtue's steely bones Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones Enter, and cry 'The Dauphin!' presently, We must have bloody noses and crack'd crowns, Or ere I'll weep. O fool, I shall go mad! Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad? Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. XXXIV - "DUEBYTHEGRAVEA" Doth choke the air with dust: in, and prepare: Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. Be hang'd up for example at their doors: Yet, know thou, since we have begun to strike, That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon! Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his And, Montague, come you this afternoon, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Even like a man new haled from the rack, And all they foul that thy complexion lack. XXXV - "NDTHEEWHENFORT" No doubt, my liege, if each man do his best. Do all expect that you should rouse yourself, Till he be dieted to my request, Hath thus beguiled your daughter of herself Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Whilst, like a willing patient, I will drink Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from Envy the great nor do the low despise. Never so little show of love to her, Faster than gnats in cobwebs; but her eyes,-- Of true sincerity? O, holy sir, Richard hath best deserved of all my sons. There were two honours lost, yours and your son's. XXXVI - "YWINTERSSHALLB" Your breath first kindled the dead coal of wars What you must say; that he shall not perceive I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours No more that thane of Cawdor shall deceive The tiger will be mild whiles she doth mourn; Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Some one take order Buckingham be brought She is importunate, indeed distract. Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood, A kingdom for a stage, princes to act Leap in with me into this angry flood, Let's levy men, and beat him back again. But if thou strive, poor soul, what art thou then? XXXVII - "ESEIGETHYBROWA" Else you may be marvellously mistook. Sirs, stop his mouth, and let him speak no more. Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. I found a friend, and sure as death I swore Go quick away; the story of my life England did never owe so sweet a hope, To the dark house and the detested wife. Have you perused the letters from the pope, Yourself again after yourself's decease, Be great in act, as you have been in thought; Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, O, what a noble combat hast thou fought Would she begin a sect, might quench the zeal And in my temper soften'd valour's steel! XXXVIII - "NDDIGDEEPTRENC" Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Disdaining duty that to us belongs. Dally not with the gods, but get thee gone. If Lucius live, he will requite your wrongs; Good Aaron, give his majesty my hand: Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign: Every man shift for all the rest, and Establish him in his true sense again, Perchance that envy of so rich a thing, That ne'er shall dine unless thou yield the crown. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Nor I cannot woo in festival terms. Come, come, you forward and unable worms! XXXIX - "HESINTHYBEAUTY" He is their god: he leads them like a thing England shall double gild his treble guilt; Succeed before the younger, I am king. Is crack'd, and all the precious liquor spilt, Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. That time of both this truth shall ne'er convince, How wildly then walks my estate in France! Your mother was most true to wedlock, prince; Back to the Duke of Gloucester, tell him so. England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. And I in all unwillingness will go. Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. That nightly lie in those unproper beds Yet, countrymen, O, yet hold up your heads! XL - "SFIELDTHYYOUTH" Summon a parley; we will talk with him. Free lords, cold snow melts with the sun's hot beams. I know this act shows horrible and grim. Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Let not the jealous Day behold that face Done to me, undeserving as I am, To speak of Perdita, now grown in grace He scatter'd not in ears, but grafted them, Your voice shall be as strong as any man's You and your ways; whose wraths to guard you from-- On pain of torture, from those bloody hands Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Thy private feasting to a public fast, Here comes a man; let's stay till he be past. XLI - "SPROUDLIVERYSO" So may the outward shows be least themselves: Put not another sin upon my head, Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Of her confine. You should be rul'd, and led Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Did you by indirect and forced courses Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Is Lucius general of the forces? Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Your grace, that fed my country with your corn, Shall have more vices than it had before, Of Buckingham to welcome them ashore. XLII - "GAZEDONNOWWILL" Good Hubert, Hubert, Hubert, throw thine eye And leave those woes alone which I alone Zounds, where thou wilt, lad; I'll make one; an I Enough to purchase what you have made known. Death: her death itself, which could not be her Or else my heart, concealing it, will break; Nor dare to know that which I know. O sir! No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales. Weeping again the king my father's wreck, When she shall hear this of thee, with her nails I took a costly jewel from my neck, Like Turk to Christian. Women's gentle brain Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain. XLIII - "BEATATTERDWEED" Besides, his soul's fair temple is defaced; End in one purpose, and be all well borne And manners, to intrude where I am graced; These few days' wonder will be quickly worn. And so I was; which plainly signified The selfsame sun that shines upon his court Thou nobly base, they basely dignified; Except some petty towns of no import: Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Well may I get aboard! This is the chase: Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Doth not the object cheer your heart, my lord? XLIV - "OFSMALLWORTHHE" Of these thy compounds on such creatures as For since the birth of Cain, the first male child, She throws forth Tarquin's name; 'He, he,' she says, Matter against me; and his eye reviled All this from my remembrance brutish wrath Leave wringing of your hands. Peace! sit you down Look, here's a letter from him: the state hath What, will you walk with me about the town, Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. The people's hearts, and wean them from themselves. Have I not reason, think you, to look pale? Haste, signify so much; while we attend, Either of you to be the other's end. XLV - "LDTHENBEINGASK" Love me or love me not, I like the cap; Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch: Then, Pistol, lay thy head in Furies' lap. Hath to it circumstantial branches, which Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Breaking his oath and resolution like Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, If any such be here--as God forbid!-- No? Saw you not, even now, a blessed troop Gave sign for me to leave you: so I did; And tamed the king, and made the dauphin stoop; Storming her world with sorrow's wind and rain. Kill me outright with looks and rid my pain. XLVI - "DWHEREALLTHYBE" Do, as a monster fly my presence thus. When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim He hath some message to deliver us. Err'd in this point which now you censure him, Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Even so void is your false heart of truth. Ay me! I fell; and yet do question make Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth, Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Then let confusion of one part confirm Had you not been their father, these white flakes Yet their own authors faithfully affirm Behoves it us to labour for the realm. Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. XLVII - "AUTYLIESWHEREA" As one that surfeits thinking on a want. Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. To meet me at the consecrated fount You heedless joltheads and unmanner'd slaves! Lend me your knees, and all my life to come Is writ in moods and frowns and wrinkles strange, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? So much complexion? Look ye, how they change! Were equal poise of sin and charity. He is wit's pedler, and retails his wares Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Either of king or council, when you went And gain by ill thrice more than I have spent. XLVIII - "LLTHETREASUREO" Latter end of a play, before the duke: Live, like Diana's priest, betwixt cold sheets, Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Heard you of nothing strange about the streets? Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, To me a break-neck. Happy star, reign now! Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. And your supply, which you have wish'd so long, Say I am dancing; if in mirth, report Under whose government come they along? Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, Envy your great deservings and good name, Or whether revolution be the same. XLIX - "FTHYLUSTYDAYST" Further I say and further will maintain To fall in love with him; but, for my part, He is attended with a desperate train, Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art; Let him be ransom'd: never master had Upon this spotted and inconstant man. Sweep your way for you. Pray you, look not sad, Timon is dead, who hath outstretch'd his span: Young Ned, for thee, thine uncles and myself Dear amity and everlasting love. Antony call; I see him rouse himself Your quondam wife swears still by Venus' glove: See, they encounter thee with their hearts' thanks. They join and shoot their foam at Simois' banks. L - "OSAYWITHINTHIN" O, sure I am, the wits of former days Since she respects my mistress' love so much. An't please your grace, here my commission stays, You have received your griefs; nor are they such When others would give life and bring a tomb. I will not budge for no man's pleasure, I. That ever spider twisted from her womb Hath dear religious love stol'n from mine eye I am ambitious for a motley coat. Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot, Thou damned and luxurious mountain goat, Here comes the lady: O, so light a foot I am his king, and he should bow his knee; Nor yet Saint Philip's daughters, were like thee. LI - "EOWNDEEPSUNKEN" Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Or shall we think the subtle-witted French What cannot be eschew'd must be embraced. Now, how dost thou look now? O ill-starr'd wench! Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. Stand like the forfeits in a barber's shop, Unless his noble mother, and his wife; Now climbeth Tamora Olympus' top, Kneeling before this ruin of sweet life, Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Nor to his service no such joy on earth. LII - "EYESWEREANALLE" Even or odd, of all days in the year, Your father's sickness is a maim to us. Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Sit, worthy friends: my lord is often thus, Why have I blabb'd? who shall be true to us, Early and late, debating to and fro Reviving blood, and that great men shall press Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: And keep invention in a noted weed, Not knowing them until we know their grave: A cousin-german to great Priam's seed; Let him have time against himself to rave, Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. England ne'er had a king until his time. LIII - "ATINGSHAMEANDT" All the charactery of my sad brows: Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, In no less working than are swords and bows Now, as I can remember, by my troth, Gather the sequel by that went before. Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough: Horribly stuff'd with epithets of war; Affection's edge in me, were she as rough My substance should be statue in thy stead. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange As this hath made me. Who was he that said No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: Deep sounds make lesser noise than shallow fords, The winds grow high; so do your stomachs, lords. LIV - "HRIFTLESSPRAIS" Had all your quarters been as safely kept Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. I know thy constellation is right apt For notes of sorrow out of tune are worse To weigh how once I suffered in your crime. Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath England ne'er had a king until his time. So the poor chicken should be sure of death. Since you did leave it for my office, sir. Propinquity and property of blood, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were And, lo, there falls into thy boundless flood If you would walk in absence of the sun. She locks her lily fingers one in one. LV - "EHOWMUCHMOREPR" Early and late, debating to and fro How many things by season season'd are O, none but unthrifts! Dear my love, you know With cheese and garlic in a windmill, far, Must be provided for: and you shall put Under what colour he commits this ill. Consisting equally of horse and foot; Hear me but speak, and bear me where you will. May I with right and conscience make this claim? Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! LVI - "AISEDESERVEDTH" Avoid what's grown than question how 'tis born. It is a bawdy planet, that will strike So much, dear liege, I have already sworn, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; So cowardly; and but for these vile guns, Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Rather than have false Proteus rescue me. Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Environed with a wilderness of sea, Demanding of King Henry's life and death, To have his sight thither and back again. Hath made thee hard in't. Why shouldst thou hate men? LVII - "YBEAUTYSUSEIFT" Your son shall have my daughter with consent. Bloody thou art, bloody will be thy end; Either of king or council, when you went Ah, women, women! come; we have no friend Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, Sleeping or waking must I still prevail, Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; So slight a valuation, should reserve Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve Fain would I woo her, yet I dare not speak: This blended knight, half Trojan and half Greek. LVIII - "HOUCOULDSTANSW" Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. Out of his subject; and we here dispatch Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Could trammel up the consequence, and catch O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Let your best love draw to that point, which seeks Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, She bears a duke's revenues on her back, Then strike up drums: God and Saint George for us! At such who, not born fair, no beauty lack, Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Stand these poor people's friend, and urge the king Why, for my king: tush, that's a wooden thing! LIX - "ERTHISFAIRCHIL" Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Remove your siege from my unyielding heart; The only soil of his fair virtue's gloss, Hath done this deed on Caesar. For your part, I thank thee for it; and heaven forbid Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; From the still-vex'd Bermoothes, there she's hid: And all the peers and nobles of the realm Into the good thoughts of the world again, Refuse you for my judge; whom, yet once more, Can arbitrate this cause betwixt us twain; Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you? Your Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts. Lightens my humour with his merry jests. LX - "DOFMINESHALLSU" Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, One Julia, that his changing thoughts forget, Filling the air with swords advanced and darts, My lords, at once: the cause why we are met I bade her, if her fortunes ever stood Nor mother, wife, nor England's counted queen. Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green. His soldiers sick and famish'd in their march, And like a lowly lover down she kneels; Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch Looks pale, as if a bear were at his heels. Sun, hide thy beams! Timon hath done his reign. Unless the Lady Bona quit his pain. LXI - "MMYCOUNTANDMAK" Myself, as far as I could well discern Merrily, merrily shall I live now Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; Clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou O, let me teach thee! for my father's sake, Upon the farthest earth removed from thee; No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. The sight whereof I think you had from me, And force the tyrant from his seat by war. Not like to me, or any of my kin, Dost thou love hawking? Thou hast hawks will soar My best endeavours shall be done herein. And to thy state of darkness hie thee straight: Know you this ring? this ring was his of late. LXII - "EMYOLDEXCUSEPR" Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Must I observe you? must I stand and crouch You must eat men. Yet thanks I must you con Or wilt thou sleep? We'll have thee to a couch Let noble Warwick, Cobham, and the rest, Duke of Anjou and Maine, yet is he poor, Excepting one, I would he were the best eXposing what is mortal and unsure Cannot dispraise but in a kind of praise; Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails Shall it for shame be spoken in these days, Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Priests pray for enemies, but princes kill. Redeeming time when men think least I will. LXIII - "OVINGHISBEAUTY" O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: I am resolved; 'tis but a three years' fast: Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Good strings to your beards, new ribbons to your His blessed part to heaven, and slept in peace. In iron walls they deem'd me not secure; So should that beauty which you hold in lease Be mad and merry, or go hang yourselves. Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Are glad and fain by flight to save themselves. Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! To teach you gamut in a briefer sort, You shall be welcome, madam, to my court. LXIV - "BYSUCCESSIONTH" By strangling thee in her accursed womb You have received your griefs; nor are they such Shall all thy mother's hopes lie in one tomb? Unless I flatter with myself too much. Come, let's away. My love, give me thy lips. Cannot stand under them: if you omit Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: So many guests invite as here are writ. She either gives a stomach and no food- If they should speak, would almost damn those ears, O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, To make confession and to be absolved. How he received you, let me be resolved. LXV - "INETHISWERETOB" I would, while it was smiling in my face, Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Either withdraw unto some private place, Their herald is a pretty knavish page, He hath a kind of honour sets him off, I'll have no bigger; this doth fit the time, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough When I behold the violet past prime, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods Establish him in his true sense again, This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Of bloody strokes and mortal-staring war. But that thou told'st me thou wouldst hunt the boar. LXVI - "ENEWMADEWHENTH" Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, Expect him here: when he shall come and find Where, for these many hundred years, the bones Men and men's fortunes could I frankly use All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Weeping again the king my father's wreck, Hark how I'll bribe you: good my lord, turn back. Each in his office ready at thy beck. Nay then, the wanton lies; my face is black. Though yet she speak not. Mark a little while. Here at the palace I will rest awhile. LXVII - "OUARTOLDANDSEE" O, well did he become that lion's robe Unhappy were you, madam, ere I came; And make a sop of all this solid globe: Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- To Scotland; and concludes in hearty prayers Of such as have before endured the like. Lo, at this tomb my tributary tears Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike And in this brainish apprehension kills Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, Driving back shadows over louring hills: Sharp misery had worn him to the bones: Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: End in a word: such is the breath of kings. LXVIII - "THYBLOODWARMWH" That proof is call'd impossibility. Had I not reason, think ye, to make haste, Your worth, your greatness and nobility. But in the onset come; so shall I taste Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, One day he gives us diamonds, next day stones. O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, With flight and agued fear! Mend and charge home, Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, My friends of noble touch, when I am forth, Whether I live or die, be you the sons He has no children. All my pretty ones? LXIX - "ENTHOUFEELSTIT" Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Now am I like that proud insulting ship That ever wretched age hath look'd upon. Her father hath commanded her to slip O Lord, have mercy on me, woful man! Upon Good-Friday and ne'er broke his fast: Fortunes: his grace hath made the match, and an Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Each Trojan that is master of his heart, List his discourse of war, and you shall hear Some nobler token I have kept apart That, as the star moves not but in his sphere, I think this upstart is old Talbot's ghost, Tell me wherein have I offended most? LXX - "COLDLOOKINTHYG" Counting no old thing old, thou mine, I thine, Or made a toast for Neptune. Even so Lend me thy hand, and I will give thee mine. Demand me nothing: what you know, you know: Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, Over one shoulder doth she hang her head; Our archers shall be placed in the midst Keep then far league and truce with thy true bed; I do beseech your lordship, call her back. Now, by this maiden blossom in my hand, That I may swear beauty doth beauty lack, Hast thou not worldly pleasure at command, Yet am I sick for fear: speak it again; Give it the beasts, to be rid of the men. LXXI - "LASSANDTELLTHE" Like a milch doe, whose swelling dugs do ache, A grave? O no! a lantern, slaughter'd youth, Sayest thou so, old Jack? go thy ways; I'll make She said so: I must needs report the truth. And place my merit in the eye of scorn, Now, brother king, farewell, and sit you fast, Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Thou hast leisure, say thy prayers; when thou hast Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal: Let it fall rather, though the fork invade That thou mightst think upon these by the seal, Hang on her temples like a golden fleece; Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. LXXII - "FACETHOUVIEWES" For long agone I have forgot to court; Another flap-mouth'd mourner, black and grim, Came from the north and thus it did import: Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. The skies are painted with unnumber'd sparks, Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give O cunning, how I got it!--nay, some marks Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; I would entreat you rather to put on Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Why doth your highness look so pale and wan? Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Still did I tell him it was vile and bad. LXXIII - "TNOWISTHETIMET" Thou dost approve thyself the very same: No, not a word; how can I grace my talk, One drunkard loves another of the name. Where as the king and queen do mean to hawk. If I depart from thee, I cannot live; Say that I wish he never find more cause Thou thought'st to help me; and such thanks I give Have banged the youth into dumbness. This was Even like a man new haled from the rack, To foster it, nor ever to preserve. I will not be denied: sweet heart, look back. Many dream not to find, neither deserve, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. These present-absent with swift motion slide. LXXIV - "HATFACESHOULDF" Hath drawn him from his own determined aid, And bless it to all fair prosperity: That is to see how deep my grave is made; From open haunts and popularity. And rape, I fear, was root of thine annoy. Canst thou so daff me? Thou hast kill'd my child: Each opposite that blanks the face of joy So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, How now, how now, chop-logic! What is this? O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Like death, when he shuts up the day of life; Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? For his foul act by whom thy fair wife bleeds? LXXV - "ORMANOTHERWHOS" Only my blood speaks to you in my veins; Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; My strength can give you: then no more remains, As if the world were all dissolved to tears, Not letting it decline on the declined, Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. Too slightly timber'd for so loud a wind, How smooth and even they do bear themselves! Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Ready to catch each other by the throat, Whilst upon me the guilty doors were shut How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; Of sighs, of groans, of sorrow and of teen! Shall we disturb him, since he keeps no mean? LXXVI - "EFRESHREPAIRIF" Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Finds the down pillow hard. Now peace be here, Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, Even or odd, of all days in the year, Such childish humour from weak minds proceeds: Her inclination, let him not leave out Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Empale him with your weapons round about; Perhaps she cull'd it from among the rest. And therefore to your fair no painting set; I would not yield to be your house's guest; Rome shall record, and when I do forget I and ten thousand in this luckless realm Fortune and victory sit on thy helm! LXXVII - "NOWTHOUNOTRENE" Not three hours' travel from this very place. On whom, as in despite, the sun looks pale, What counts harsh fortune casts upon my face; Tush, my good lord, this superficial tale How were they lost? what treachery was used? Of sweet young Rutland, by rough Clifford slain: Upon the instant that she was accused, Nor can one England brook a double reign, Of deaths put on by cunning and forc'd cause; Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word: Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Now Valentine is banish'd from her sight. Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! LXXVIII - "WESTTHOUDOSTBE" With nothing trembles: at some thing it grieves, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Saying, the sanguine colour of the leaves To endless date of never-ending woes? This 'once again,' but that your highness pleased, He would quickly have the gift of a grave. Only be patient till we have appeased Upon my party! Thou cold-blooded slave, Death is the fairest cover for her shame O thou well skill'd in curses, stay awhile, Since thou couldst not defend thy loyal dame, Thanks, you the valiant of this warlike isle, Be happy that my arms are out of use: Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. LXXIX - "GUILETHEWORLDU" Go bear it to the Centaur, where we host, Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, I from my mistress come to you in post; Laugh'd in his face; and when with grief he wept, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; The third son, Duke of Clarence, from whose line Heard many grievous, I do say, my lord, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. What, what? first praise me and again say no? Out, some light horsemen, and peruse their wings. Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow Live, and beget a happy race of kings! Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! LXXX - "NBLESSSOMEMOTH" Now my old arms are young John Talbot's grave. Barkloughly castle call they this at hand? Like beasts which you shun beastly, and may save, Every man shift for all the rest, and Save base authority from others' books She marking them begins a wailing note She touch'd no unknown baits, nor fear'd no hooks; On such a full sea are we now afloat; My wife comes foremost; then the honour'd mould Early and late, debating to and fro May you a better feast never behold, Or else the lady's mad; yet, if 'twere so, Take up this mangled matter at the best: His soul and body to their lasting rest. LXXXI - "ERFORWHEREISSH" Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Retaining but a quantity of life, From top of honour to disgrace's feet? Of my consent that she should be your wife. Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Where money is, and I no question make He hath refused it in the open court: England we love; and for that England's sake Resembles that it was. What it should be, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, I prithee, lady, go away with me. Speak, Salisbury; at least, if thou canst speak: So offers he to give what she did crave; He would quickly have the gift of a grave. LXXXII - "ESOFAIRWHOSEUN" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse, Or four and twenty times the pilot's glass Few come within the compass of my curse,-- And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain, In loathsome beds, and leav'st the kingly couch Raze out the written troubles of the brain Without the sensible and true avouch How would it fare with your departed souls? Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes Exception bid him speak, and at this time Unbind my sons, reverse the doom of death; Never did mockers waste more idle breath. LXXXIII - "EARDWOMBDISDAI" Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive And unperceived fly with the filth away; Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Death, desolation, ruin and decay: Whiles the big year, swoln with some other grief, O Tamora, be call'd a gentle queen, Marry, for that she's in a wrong belief, Besides the things that we have heard and seen, Do not infest your mind with beating on I must needs say you have a little fault: Surely, by all the glory you have won, Duke of Alencon, this was your default, And precious phrase by all the Muses filed. I slew thy father, call'st thou him a child? LXXXIV - "NSTHETILLAGEOF" Naming thy name blesses an ill report. Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, That down fell both the Ram's horns in the court; He sent me hither, stranger as I am, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. To-morrow will I wear it on my helm, Is not a single doom; in the name lay Levy great sums of money through the realm Laid any scruple in your way, which might A vessel rides fast by, but not prepared Good cousin, be advised; stir not tonight. Esteem him as a lamb, being compared O Helicanus, strike me, honour'd sir; Fits kings, as they are men, for they may err. LXXXV - "THYHUSBANDRYOR" To eat those little darlings whom they loved. He shall not boast who did thy stock pollute You see, my lord, how ample you're beloved. He dies that touches any of this fruit Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Saucy and overbold? How did you dare Beloved of me- and that my deeds shall prove. A sunny look of his would soon repair Nay, to be perjured, which is worst of all; Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike Remember whom you are to cope withal; Yet, know thou, since we have begun to strike, O spite! O hell! I see you all are bent Repair'd with double riches of content. LXXXVI - "WHOISHESOFONDW" Why, this is to have a name in great men's He apprehends a world of figures here, Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. I am not married, Caesar: let me hear Sweet Clifford, hear me speak before I die. How dearly they do't! 'Tis her breathing that Eating the air and promise of supply, Some, that are mad if they behold a cat; O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit For going on death's net, whom none resist. Of his profession, that his good receipt Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. When they shall hear how we have play'd the men. LXXXVII - "ILLBETHETOMBOF" I do assure thee, father, so it is. Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Breaking his oath and resolution like Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Then, if I have much love, I'll give you some. Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? This gentleman of mine hath served me long: Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Most noble brother, you have done me wrong. Being in night, all this is but a dream, O, know, sweet love, I always write of you, Fair payment for foul words is more than due. LXXXVIII - "HISSELFLOVETOS" He that knows better how to tame a shrew, I send it through the rivers of your blood, Stay, madam; I must speak a word with you. Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood. Either be patient, and entreat me fair, Like to the earth swallow her own increase. Fell from their boughs and left me open, bare Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: Or less,--at first?--perchance he spoke not, but, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What This murder had not come into my mind: Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase, Shall in procession sing her endless praise. LXXXIX - "TOPPOSTERITYTH" The princely blood flows in his cheek, he sweats, Out, loathed medicine! hated potion, hence! Poor Clifford! how I scorn his worthless threats! Pursue him to his house, and pluck him thence: Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, So much complexion? Look ye, how they change! The second and the third, nine, and some five; Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: It makes us, or it mars us; think on that, That you shall say my cunning drift excels. Your infants in your arms, and there have sat That grew upon my lips: then laid his leg He has some reason, else he could not beg. XC - "OUARTTHYMOTHER" Of your precedent lord; a vice of kings; Upon his face an ocean of salt tears, As venom toads, or lizards' dreadful stings. Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, That from my first have been inclined to thrift; The which thou once didst bend against her breast, Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift Yourself? Why, do you not perceive the jest? Methought he bore him in the thickest troop Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk That the probation bear no hinge nor loop Here's a good world! Knew you of this fair work? Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. XCI - "SGLASSANDSHEIN" She is content to be at your command; Go to, we pardon thee: therefore, in brief, Look'st thou pale, France? do not let go thy hand. A law-breaker, a villain: yield thee, thief. Seek for thy noble father in the dust. She melted into air. Affrighted much, As doth a sail, fill'd with a fretting gust, No glory lives behind the back of such. Doth not the object cheer your heart, my lord? Should many people, under two commands, Hippolyta, I woo'd thee with my sword, England, impatient of your just demands, I did so, and went further, which is now Nor wittingly have I infringed my vow. XCII - "THEECALLSBACKT" Things growing to themselves are growth's abuse: Hark, villains! I will grind your bones to dust Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Clapping their hands, and crying with loud voice, Aaron and thou look down into this den, Let music sound while he doth make his choice; Like to a lonely dragon, that his fen Since Rome herself in them doth stand disgraced, Blood and destruction shall be so in use And with your blood and it I'll make a paste, Come, cousin, let us tell the queen these news. Knowing him is enough. On's bed of death That laughs and weeps, and all but with a breath. XCIII - "HELOVELYAPRILO" He ask'd me for a thousand marks in gold: Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Lo, by my truth, the instrument is cold Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Leave me, I pray, a little: pray you now: You never had a servant to whose trust And cannot brook competitors in love? Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid; Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of I'll have thy beauty scratch'd with briers, and made Lest we remember still that we have none. O, my good lord, yonder's foul murders done! XCIV - "FHERPRIMESOTHO" From your encounter, then they light on us. Have faculty by nature to subsist; Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Rather than so, come fate into the list. Put not another sin upon my head, Rather than Paris. These are news indeed! If he were that which now he's like, that's dead; Mistrust of my success hath done this deed. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. O, these are barren tasks, too hard to keep, To make this banquet; which I wish may prove Honour and virtue and conversed with such O, speak no more, for I have heard too much. XCV - "UTHROUGHWINDOW" Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. That likewise have we thought upon, and thus: Haply when they have judged me fast asleep, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Out of his subject; and we here dispatch Upon the next live creature that it sees. Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach. He that unbuckles this, till we do please Which for this nineteen years we have let slip; I would thou hadst my bones, and I thy news: Now am I like that proud insulting ship Dainties to taste, fresh beauty for the use, O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. XCVI - "SOFTHINEAGESHA" So help me God, as I dissemble not! One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods For parting us,--O, is it all forgot? That ever Timon was. Shame not these woods, Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere I must confess your offer is the best; Nor let no comforter delight mine ear Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast And lean-look'd prophets whisper fearful change; God, God forgive us all! Look after her; Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange She was a wight, if ever such wight were,-- Have torn their souls by turning them from us, And I, to make thee mad, do mock thee thus. XCVII - "LLSEEDESPITEOF" Lives, honours, lands and all hurry to loss. Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Else you may be marvellously mistook. Deep woes roll forward like a gentle flood, Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, If that an eye may profit by a tongue, The petty streams that pay a daily debt Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Of my consent that she should be your wife. For aye austerity and single life. XCVIII - "WRINKLESTHISTH" Which let thy wisdom fear. Hold off thy hand! Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, In this self-place where now we mean to stand. No joyful tongue gave him his welcome home: Kind uncle York, the latest news we hear Leaving free things and happy shows behind; Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Some purer chest to close so pure a mind. This lord go to him! Jupiter forbid, How now! what means this, herald? know'st thou not In dreadful secrecy impart they did, So great a day as this is cheaply bought. To lay on me a cruelty, by taking He speaks not like a man of God's making. XCIX - "YGOLDENTIMEBUT" You are as fond of grief as of your child. Go therefore, tell thy master here I am; Of Alcibiades the approaches wild, Let me have open means to come to them, Do not abuse my master's bounty by Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Near and on speedy foot. The main descry The baby figure of the giant mass I have a father, you a daughter, lost. Mine hair be fixed on end, as one distract; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last.

CLI - "NDSHIMTHERESAP" No! why? When he that is my husband now Did I impale him with the regal crown?

Look, they weep; Are mortis'd and adjoin'd; which when it falls, No, lord ambassador, I'll rather keep Did gage them both in an unjust behalf, Let's take the instant by the forward top; Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf! Stand like the forfeits in a barber's shop, That some would sing, some other in their bills Yea, twice the sum: if that will not suffice, Let's choose executors and talk of wills: Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice A proof of strength she could not publish more, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for?

You twain, of all the rest, Such as she is, in beauty, virtue, birth, Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, In spite of physic, painting, pain and cost. Seems more than we shall find it: were it good Thou mayst co-join with something; and thou dost, If you go on thus, you will kill yourself: Let dying Mortimer here rest himself. CLIX - "LATIONLEFTALIQ" Like lime-twigs set to catch my winged soul. And what these sorrows could not thence exhale, The country cocks do crow, the clocks do toll, I thank him, that he cuts me from my tale, One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Nay, would I were so anger'd with the same! Like to a tenement or pelting farm: Envy your great deservings and good name, First pay me for the nursing of thy sons; The napless vesture of humility; Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Losing both beauty and utility. If of my freedom 'tis the main part, take Quiet untroubled soul, awake, awake! CLX - "UIDPRISONERPEN" Upon her head a platted hive of straw, I prophesied France will be lost ere long.

Peace! sit you down Let me have such a bowl may hold my thanks, Stay we no longer, dreaming of renown, Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt, For who lived king, but I could dig his grave?

Till we with trophies do adorn thy tomb. CLXIII - "WITHBEAUTYWERE" Well, jest on, brothers: I can tell you both I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Than seek a dispensation for his oath, How pomp is follow'd! mine will now be yours; Both tugging to be victors, breast to breast, Each man apart, all single and alone, And she shall scant show well that now shows best.

Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. Evermore weeping for your cousin's death?

Came he right now to sing a raven's note, England is safe, if true within itself? Where it seems best unto your royal self. CLXVI - "HATITWASBUTFLO" He should have had a volume of farewells; And shall, or him we will accompany. That you shall say my cunning drift excels. I have forsworn his bed and company. The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss Whose wicked deed thy most ingenious sense Ah, what a shame! ah, what a fault were this! Some good man bear him carefully from hence; But then up farther, and as far as Rome; Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; That all their eyes may bear those tokens home Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds: Lets fall his sword before your highness' feet, O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. CLXVII - "WERSDISTILLDTH" While we pursued the horsemen of the north, Envy your great deservings and good name, Receive it friendly; but from this time forth Sent his poor queen to France, from whence she came, Dispatch! The room where they supp'd is too hot; I offer'd to awaken his regard Some few odd lads that you remember not. To some retention and appointed guard; It were a better death than die with mocks, Lousy, pragging knave, Pistol, which you and Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Do in his name religiously demand The time when screech-owls cry and ban-dogs howl, Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. CLXVIII - "OUGHTHEYWITHWI" O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Under pretence to see the queen his aunt-- Go hie thee presently, post to the road: He shall do this, or else I do recant There's one thing wanting, which I doubt not but Help me this once, that France may get the field. Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What You press me far, and therefore I will yield. Which presently they read; on whose contents, Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, That hath been breeder of these dire events. Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, Whose ruin you have sought, that to her laws It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. CLXIX - "NTERMEETLEESEB" Now, gods that we adore, whereof comes this? That was not born of woman? Such a one Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. My age was never tainted with such shame. Early and late, debating to and fro Envy your great deservings and good name, To those two armies that would let him go, Let grief and sorrow still embrace his heart Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Each one demand an answer to his part So from himself impiety hath wrought, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Bear thine eyes straight, though thy proud heart go wide. CLXX - "UTTHEIRSHOWTHE" Upon thy feature; for my rage was blind, The lesser thing should not the greater hide; The green leaves quiver with the cooling wind Here comes my sister, reading; stand aside. Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: Rather than have that savage duke thine heir Shall we be thus afflicted in his wreaks, How can she be with him? When was she missed? One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. With as big heart as thou. Do as thou list Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. CLXXI - "IRSUBSTANCESTI" I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Sail like my pinnace to these golden shores. Unless the master were the man. How now! But when contention and occasion meet, Seeming to bury that posterity The stairs, as he treads on them, kiss his feet: And to be talk'd with in sincerity, Now, by my father's badge, old Nevil's crest, Choose thou thy husband, and I'll pay thy dower; Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? The Lady Constance in a frenzy died In my love's veins thou hast too grossly dyed. CLXXII - "LLLIVESSWEETTH" Like foggy south, puffing with wind and rain? Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; Like Turk to Christian. Women's gentle brain I speak of Africa and golden joys. Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Each cheek a river running from a fount Sir John, the Lord bless you; God prosper your Shall touch the people--which time shall not want, Were it all yours to give it in a breath, Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds They shall be praying nuns, not weeping queens; Have you importuned him by any means? CLXXIII - "ENLETNOTWINTER" Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, No night is now with hymn or carol blest: Let not the world see fear and sad distrust Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Then happy I, that love and am beloved No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. Of all that virtue love for virtue loved: That honour saved may upon asking give? Who of their broken debtors take a third, I would be so triumphant as I am? Nay, stay; by Jove, I will not speak a word: Than their offence can weigh down by the dram; Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. CLXXIV - "SRAGGEDHANDDEF" Shall seize this prey out of his father's hands. Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Are cast away and sunk on Goodwin Sands. Gentle Lucetta, fit me with such weeds Go on before; I shall inquire you forth: Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste During whose reign the Percies of the north, Have done the time more benefit and graced As is the sucking lamb or harmless dove: No, we'll no Bullens. Speedily I wish Did ever Dian so become a grove Dumain transform'd! four woodcocks in a dish! Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Far more, far more to you do I decline. CLXXV - "ACEINTHEETHYSU" A mother's tears in passion for her son: Cast off his chains of bondage and embrace Expecting in return twenty for one? I slew him not; but to my own disgrace Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, They come like sacrifices in their trim, Have we not lost most part of all the towns, Err'd in this point which now you censure him, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet To greet a man not worth her pains, much less Hop forty paces through the public street; Yea, strike the Dauphin blind to look on us. Shall wound my honour with such feeble wrong, Under whose government come they along? CLXXVI - "MMERERETHOUBED" More stronger to direct you than yourself, Mars's hot minion is returned again; Engaging and redeeming of himself Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. That if we wrought out life 'twas ten to one; He was but as the cuckoo is in June, O, from thy cheeks my image thou hast torn, Unwilling I agreed. Alas! too soon, But his evasion, wing'd thus swift with scorn, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Doth cite each moving sense from idle rest. CLXXVII - "ISTILLDMAKESWE" I do pronounce him in that very shape Send thee by me, their tribune and their trust, The happy tidings of his good escape. Is almost choked by unresisted lust. Let there be no noise made, my gentle friends; Let him be ransom'd: never master had Do, chapels had been churches and poor men's Madam, your majesty is too much sad: A little little grave, an obscure grave; Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! She had not brought forth thee, but died unkind. We still have judgment here; that we but teach Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. CLXXVIII - "ETSOMEVIALTREA" Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: This is an accident of hourly proof, So please you, let me now be left alone, O appetite, from judgment stand aloof! My child? away with't! Even thou, that hast Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, I know what thorns the growing rose defends; And no such matter? Rumour is a pipe Lords, give us leave; the Prince of Wales and I That yon green boy shall have no sun to ripe Richard, enough; I will be king, or die. Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, And I will speak, that so my heart may burst. CLXXIX - "SURETHOUSOMEPL" So holy and so perfect is my love, Under an osier growing by a brook, Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Else you may be marvellously mistook. Thou naughty gaoler, that thou art so fond He was but as the cuckoo is in June, Of thrice three times the value of this bond. Unwilling I agreed. Alas! too soon, Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, Of her or you, having proceeded but Making them proud of his humility, Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Perhaps thou wilt object my holy oath: Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both! CLXXX - "ACEWITHBEAUTYS" Alas, sweet wife, my honour is at pawn; Cry the amen; and yet my conscience says Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Were, durst not, look you, sir, show themselves, as I see your brows are full of discontent, Till that Bellona's bridegroom, lapp'd in proof, How can my Muse want subject to invent, But with a crafty madness keeps aloof Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, And labour shall refresh itself with hope, Unless thou couldst return to make amends? Though palaces and pyramids do slope Your grace shall pardon me, I will not back: Sent your worship a morning's draught of sack. CLXXXI - "TREASUREEREITB" To bear the tidings of calamity. Remove your siege from my unyielding heart; England and France might, through their amity, Am as well in my wits, fool, as thou art. Say thou wilt course; thy greyhounds are as swift Under the canopies of costly state, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Engenders the black toad and adder blue, Into your idle over-handled theme: That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief: But that I was a journeyman to grief? CLXXXII - "ESELFKILLDTHAT" Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? So holy and so perfect is my love, Each hath his place and function to attend: Let King Cophetua know the truth thereof. Freely to render what we have in charge; Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? I long to know the truth hereof at large. Like a right gipsy, hath, at fast and loose, Let me have time and counsel for my cause: Deep sounds make lesser noise than shallow fords, To what tune pleased his ear; that now he was Have I since your departure had, my lords. And drive his purpose on to these delights. There's two or three of us have seen strange sights. CLXXXIII - "USEISNOTFORBID" Usurps the regal title and the seat Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse; Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet It is the humane way: the other course So thrive I in my dangerous attempt Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Of egal justice, used in such contempt? Till he behold them form'd in the applause Fed from my trencher, kneel'd down at the board. O my good lord, that comfort comes too late; Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; But these mine eyes saw him in bloody state, Itself to motion, like as it would speak; Does not divide the Sunday from the week. CLXXXIV - "DENUSURYWHICHH" Dukes, earls, lords, gentlemen; indeed, of all. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? No want of conscience hold it that I call Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Sit, sit. The gods require our thanks. Under your testy humour? By the gods Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, Yields up his life unto a world of odds: Whither I must, I must; and, to conclude, Have torn their souls by turning them from us, In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood; CORIOLANUS, He's both their parent, and he is their grave, Here to have death in peace is all he'll crave. CLXXXV - "APPIESTHOSETHA" A goodly prize, fit for the devil's grace! Peace, you ungracious clamours! peace, rude sounds! Prerogatived are they less than the base; If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? She eat no meat to-day, nor none shall eat; Thou then wouldst kill me: do't; the time is come: Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Or, when he doom'd this beauty to a grave, Sith I have cause, and will, and strength, and means Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! To be depender on a thing that leans, He cried almost to roaring; and he wept And suck'd the honey which thy chaste bee kept. CLXXXVI - "TPAYTHEWILLING" Thinking that I mean him, but therein suits Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; As if he pluck'd up kisses by the roots You wrong me, sir, thus still to haunt my house: There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good Her other tender hand his fair cheek feels: Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, With the plebeians swarming at their heels, I cannot mend it, I must needs confess, Let this be granted, and Achilles' horse Let this be so, and doubt not but success Into one giant arm, it shall not force Now, youthful Troilus, do not these high strains Give my sweet Nan this ring: there's for thy pains. CLXXXVII - "LOANTHATSFORTH" Let us entreat, by honour of his name, Or I shall break that merry sconce of yours And father of that chaste dishonour'd dame, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. The goodness of the night upon you, friends! He sends you this most memorable line, And make the hearts of Romans serve your ends! Thy never-conquer'd fort: the fault is thine, So swift a pace hath thought that even now For you shall sup with Jesu Christ to-night. Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow, Richly in both, if justice had her right. Therefore each one betake him to his rest; Hence ever then my heart is in thy breast. CLXXXVIII - "YSELFTOBREEDAN" Yes, I beseech; or I shall short my word Steal from his figure and no pace perceived; Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Lives in the English court, and is received For as I am, I live upon the rack. That thou dost love my daughter from thy soul: On late offenders, that he now doth lack But nothing can affection's course control, Reply not in how many fathoms deep Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy And as he stoop'd again to take it up, Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. CLXXXIX - "OTHERTHEEORTEN" One that rejoices in the common wreck, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, This is a letter of your own device. He answer'd thus: 'Young Talbot was not born Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Extremity of griefs would make men mad; On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, To hear the replication of your sounds Each present lord began to promise aid, None but a holy hermit and her maid. CXC - "TIMESHAPPIERBE" Thou shalt not stir a foot to seek a foe. I grant thou wert not married to my Muse My praises made thee first a soldier, so, Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Since night you loved me; yet since night you left Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, And scape detecting, I will pay the theft. Profitless usurer, why dost thou use Peacock's feather. You'll never trust his word It hath been taught us from the primal state, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Both from thy table, Henry, and thy bed, Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? CXCI - "ITTENFORONETEN" If ever from your eyelids wip'd a tear, Too headstrong for their mother. See, we fools! They must lie there: go carry them; and smear Either they must be dieted like mules No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. For living idly here in pomp and ease, Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars Repeat their semblance often on the seas, O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. Not minding whether I dislike or no! Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Ten thousand harms, more than the ills I know, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! CXCII - "TIMESTHYSELFWE" To be such men as may besort your age, I see a yielding in the looks of France; My part is youth, and beats these from the stage: Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Stopping my greedy ear with their bold deeds; The king has sent me otherwhere: besides, Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, Your provost knows the place where he abides Speed then, to take advantage of the field. Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, From sun to sun: there is my honour's pawn; We still have judgment here; that we but teach Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. CXCIII - "REHAPPIERTHANT" Rides on the posting winds and doth belie Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, How cheerfully on the false trail they cry! And well such losers may have leave to speak. Prizes not quantity of dirty lands; Proving his beauty by succession thine! I prithee, sister Kate, untie my hands. Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown. The King shall drink to Hamlet's better breath, He lends out money gratis and brings down And happy were I in my timely death, Night hangs upon mine eyes; my bones would rest, That patience is quite beaten from her breast. CXCIV - "HOUARTIFTENOFT" Hearing so much, will speed her foot again, Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. Unless the Lady Bona quit his pain. Always a villain's office or a fool's. Render me worthy of this noble wife! The shame that from them no device can take, Into this place, 'twere pity on my life. Forsook his scene and enter'd in a brake To make this banquet; which I wish may prove Endue you with the people's voice: remains Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Fie, fie, how wayward is this foolish love The least of you shall share his part thereof. CXCV - "HINETENTIMESRE" His antidotes are poison, and he slays I speak no more than what my soul intends; Now thou dost penance too. Look how they gaze! Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Traffic confound thee, if the gods will not! Even for this let us divided live, Noble she is, but if she have forgot To clear this spot by death, at least I give In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Sir Richard, what think you? have you beheld, Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Even in the presence of the crowned king. CXCVI - "FIGUREDTHEETHE" For here I read for certain that my ships If they burn too, I'll quench them with my tears. Gentle Lavinia, let me kiss thy lips. Until four hundred one and twenty years Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats This might have been prevented and made whole Have stood against the world; now lies he there. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Either be patient, and entreat me fair, To this well-painted piece is Lucrece come, Humbly to kiss your hand, and with my tongue Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. CXCVII - "NWHATCOULDDEAT" Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Will ne'er wear out the everlasting flint: He was but as the cuckoo is in June, A slave whose gall coins slanders like a mint, Therefore I do advise you take this note. Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine, Or, whilst I can vent clamour from my throat, Unto a view so false will not incline; Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, Do, chapels had been churches and poor men's Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, A horse whereon the governor doth ride, That, when he waked, of force she must be eyed. CXCVIII - "HDOIFTHOUSHOUL" Having no more but thought of what thou wert, Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats O, yet defend me, friends! I am but hurt. I see them lording it in London streets, For do but note a wild and wanton herd, That worse than Tantalus' is her annoy, He dies, we lose; I break my warlike word; Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: Under the tide: but now I breathe again Stay, my lord legate: you shall first receive Hath taught them scornful tricks and such disdain Or something hath the nothing that I grieve: Unless it be to come before their time; Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. CXCIX - "DSTDEPARTLEAVI" Doors, that were ne'er acquainted with their wards Should breed thy fellow. Friends, I owe more tears To let a fellow that will take rewards Did give him that same royalty he wears; Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Please it your majesty, this is the man A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy. Reprove my allegation, if you can; That never touch well welcome to thy hand, Lo, ere I can repeat this curse again, Every man shift for all the rest, and And kept severely from resort of men, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? I'll have my bond; and therefore speak no more. CC - "NGTHEELIVINGIN" No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. Go, count thy way with sighs; I mine with groans. The mere despair of surgery, he cures, Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Empale him with your weapons round about; Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: Is that the King hath won, and hath sent out Very hardly upon such a subject. I find an apt remission in myself; Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect. Good sister, wrong me not, nor wrong yourself, I will converse with iron-witted fools Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. CCI - "POSTERITYBENOT" Patroclus' wounds have roused his drowsy blood, O, answer not, but to my closet bring Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood. To set my brother Clarence and the king Exposing what is mortal and unsure Reply not in how many fathoms deep I understand thee well; and be thou sure, To try conclusions, in the basket creep You would all this time have proved there is no But now the substance shall endure the like, Early and late, debating to and fro Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Oh, he is young and his minority To him and his usurp'd authority. CCII - "SELFWILLDFORTH" Scarce had the sun dried up the dewy morn, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Let Paris bleed; 'tis but a scar to scorn; Far in the fresh lap of the crimson rose, Where I have seen them shiver and look pale, I shall have more than you can dream of yet; Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. Look, how a bird lies tangled in a net, Discover how, and thou shalt find me just. For thee and for myself no quiet find. O passing traitor, perjured and unjust! Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Their sacred wills be done! Go, get aboard; How did this offer seem received, my lord? CCIII - "OUARTMUCHTOOFA" On safe-guard he came to me; and did curse Upon the heels of my presentment, sir. And crowns for convoy put into his purse: Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Thou tremblest; and the whiteness in thy cheek Mistress, your father prays you leave your books Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. Culling of simples; meagre were his looks, Hark how I'll bribe you: good my lord, turn back. There is a remedy, approved, set down, Or lay on that shall make your shoulders crack. Of whom so often I have heard renown, For you all; you have horses for yourselves: And stay your coming to present themselves. CCIV - "IRTOBEDEATHSCO" If eyes corrupt by over-partial looks Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Take you the lute, and you the set of books; O, I am yours, and all that I possess! But sorrow flouted at is double death. Else would he never so demean himself. Do you not see that I am out of breath? England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Ay, ay, he told his mind upon mine ear: This foolish, dreaming, superstitious girl Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere She shall be married to this noble earl. Cutting a smaller hair than may be seen, Or else he never would compare between. CCV - "NQUESTANDMAKEW" No, but not yet! May be he is not well. Quit all offences with as clear excuse Until to-morrow morning, lords, farewell. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. She would, he will not in her arms be bound; Thus it remains, and the remainder thus. And wears upon his baby-brow the round Nor, princes, is it matter new to us Destruction fang mankind! Earth, yield me roots! My lord the Duke of Buckingham, and Earl And fit it with such furniture as suits Kneel down and take my blessing, good my girl. Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, When they are thirsty, fools would fain have drink. CCVI - "ORMSTHINEHEIRL" O, that I knew thy heart; and knew the beast, Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: More stern and bloody than the Centaurs' feast. Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. The wreck of all my friends, nor this man's threats, How it did grieve Macbeth! did he not straight Is to come fairly off from the great debts Nor laugh with his companions at thy state: Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Harry to Harry shall, hot horse to horse, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, I thought to crush him in an equal force, Regard thy danger, and along with me! Look by and by to have thy sons with thee. CCVII - "OINTHEORIENTWH" On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Till he behold them form'd in the applause He faintly flies, sneaking with guilty fear; Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: O, no, he loves me, and he holds me dear: Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, I am no breeching scholar in the schools, Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. Thy hand once more; I will not loose again, We bodged again; as I have seen a swan Hold you his hands, whilst I do set it on. CCVIII - "ENTHEGRACIOUSL" Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Nor now my scandal, Richard, dost thou hear; The sweetest sleep, and fairest-boding dreams Hard-handed men that work in Athens here, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Go, go, be gone, to save your ship from wreck, Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, And we, poor mates, stand on the dying deck, Come hither, little kinsman; hark, a word. Is ebony like her? O wood divine! Of that report which I so oft have heard. Unto a view so false will not incline; So soon was she along as he was down, Lord, Lord! methought, what pain it was to drown! CCIX - "IGHTLIFTSUPHIS" I'm not their father; yet who this should be, God help, poor souls, how idly do they talk! Happily you may catch her in the sea; Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Let frantic Talbot triumph for a while I was too strict to make mine own away; For such a one we show'd 'em: if they smile, The wolves have prey'd; and look, the gentle day, Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Pure Dian, bless thee for thy vision! I Here is your servant. How now, sir! What news? Is at the nuptial of his son a guest Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast! CCX - "BURNINGHEADEAC" Brought her to Mytilene; 'gainst whose shore Unto the lodging where I first did swoon? Refuse you for my judge; whom, yet once more, Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. If you keep covenant. Had I not brought Nor, princes, is it matter new to us Give me your favour: my dull brain was wrought Hath he deserved to lose his birthright thus? Early and late, debating to and fro Ay, as the rocks cheer them that fear their wreck: Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow Each in his office ready at thy beck. And then return and sleep within mine inn, Cousin, throw up your gage; do you begin. CCXI - "HUNDEREYEDOTHH" How fain, like Pilate, would I wash my hands Unless a brother should a brother dare Never to part with it; and here he stands; Did call my father, was I know not where Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Yields to the theft. Had he been where he thought, Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat Or sells eternity to get a toy? To-night we'll wander through the streets and note How often hast thou waited at my cup, Hector was gone, but Helen was not up. CCXII - "OMAGETOHISNEWA" Of that I shall have also cause to speak, Make good this ostentation, and you shall And my young mistress thus I did bespeak: God save thy Grace, King Hal; my royal Hal! Expect your highness' doom of life or death. To do you rest, a thousand deaths would die. Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. He, he, and you, and you, my liege, and I, I fill a place, I know't. How long is't, count, Should many people, under two commands, No shape so true, no truth of such account; England, impatient of your just demands, What, wilt thou not? then, Clarence, do it thou. And lose the name of action.- Soft you now! CCXIII - "PPEARINGSIGHTS" Pierced to the soul with slander's venom'd spear, Provokes itself and like the current flies Ely with Richmond troubles me more near As due to love as thoughts and dreams and sighs, Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Garter, in his coat of arms, and on his Send thy brass voice through all these lazy tents; I swear 'tis better to be much abused Gramercies, lad. Go forward; this contents; How were they lost? what treachery was used? Thy kinsmen hang their heads at this disdain, Sith in thy pride so fair a hope is slain. CCXIV - "ERVINGWITHLOOK" Even or odd, of all days in the year, Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Good faith, across: but, my good lord 'tis thus; Weigh it but with the grossness of this age, I hope the king made peace with all of us The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay, Heaven, be thou gracious to none alive, Lay not thy hands on me; forbear, I say; Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, O good but most unwise patricians! why, Keep the wild flood confin'd! Let order die! CCXV - "SHISSACREDMAJE" Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes He doth fill fields with harness in the realm, If that your moody discontented souls Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence; And live a coward in thine own esteem, Come on, you thick lipp'd slave, I'll bear you hence; Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Decius, well urged: I think it is not meet, Men do their broken weapons rather use And kneel for grace and mercy at my feet; Jove shield your husband from his hounds to-day! Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. CCXVI - "STYANDHAVINGCL" Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, To hurl at the beholders of my shame: You will not do't for all the world, I hope. And I again, in Henry's royal name, Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: Disgrace and horror, that, on my command, Hast thou that holy feeling in thy soul, And, look, how many Grecian tents do stand Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Importing the surrender of those lands Now, by the gods that warlike Goths adore, Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands. Corrupting in its own fertility. Losing both beauty and utility. CCXVII - "IMBDTHESTEEPUP" I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: My father had a mole upon his brow. But tell me then, 'tis so; for, look thy cheeks Doth noise abroad, Navarre hath made a vow, That England, being empty of defence, He might have bought me at a common price: Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. So, by my former lecture and advice, That excellent grand tyrant of the earth, Enow to press a royal merchant down England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Part of your cares you give me with your crown. Using the names of men instead of men; Peace! break thee off! Look where it comes again! CCXVIII - "HEAVENLYHILLRE" How like you this wild counsel, mighty states? Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place And thus he would: Open your city gates; Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Not letting it decline on the declined, Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. You were as good to shoot against the wind. How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; I and my bosom must debate awhile, Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: Revenue, execution of the rest, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. CCXIX - "SEMBLINGSTRONG" Stern Falconbridge commands the narrow seas; Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Make motion through my lips, and my arm'd knees, But tell the Dauphin I will keep my state, Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. It would not out at windows nor at doors. Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time: Grey of Northumberland, this same is yours: So I return rebuked to my content The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Or, by the gods, this speech were else your last. Noble she is, but if she have forgot Good ground, be pitiful and hurt me not! CCXX - "YOUTHINHISMIDD" You are my all the world, and I must strive O, let me stay, befall what may befall! Upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive, Then, madam, stand resolved, but hope withal He then unto the ladder turns his back, In liberty of bloody hand shall range Nay then, the wanton lies; my face is black. How came the noble Timon to this change? I shall indue you with: meantime but ask See Brutus at his house: three parts of him My husband bids me; now I will unmask. I know this act shows horrible and grim. Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Doth not the crown of England prove the king? CCXXI - "LEAGEYETMORTAL" Like one of two contending in a prize, Endue you with the people's voice: remains And with my knife scratch out the angry eyes Good morrow, sir. You lay out too much pains Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Yet come again; for thou perhaps mayst move Each hath his place and function to attend: Then leave this chat; and, good Biron, now prove Mourn not, except thou sorrow for my good; Of Pericles, to rage the city turn, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood To twinkle in their spheres till they return. As precious eyesight, and did value me Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee! CCXXII - "LOOKSADOREHISB" Lets fall his sword before your highness' feet, Or as a little snow, tumbled about, O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out: So there's my riddle: one that's dead is quick: As where's that palace whereinto foul things Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: Of thousands that had struck anointed kings Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Have been as piercing as the mid-day sun, In this appeal as thou art all unjust; So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live? By that sweet ornament which truth doth give! CCXXIII - "EAUTYSTILLATTE" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less And let the angel whom thou still hast served Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess. Thou canst not speak too much; I have deserved Your grace may starve perhaps before that time. Save a proud rider on so proud a back. To weigh how once I suffered in your crime. If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host, Long live Lord Titus, my beloved brother, And therefore, lords, since he affects her most, Thus will I fold them one on another: Than both your poets can in praise devise. Envy the great nor do the low despise. CCXXIV - "NDINGONHISGOLD" Now cheer each other in each other's love Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send It is an honour that I dream not of. Not for my life: but yet I dare defend Grows elder now and cares it be not done. Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun. He stamps and bites the poor flies in his fume. If thou art taken: hence, be gone, away! Some patient leisure to excuse myself. Gentlemen all,--alas, what shall I say? Offence of mighty note; but to himself Lucy, farewell; no more my fortune can, Do challenge thee to trial of a man. CCXXV - "ENPILGRIMAGEBU" Either thou art most ignorant by age, Nerissa and the rest, stand all aloof. Pawn'd honest looks, but laid no words to gage. I oft found both: I urge this childhood proof, Let me redeem my brothers both from death. God save thy Grace, King Hal; my royal Hal! Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. If you will have Revenge from hell, you shall: Myself have heard a voice to call him so. And dart not scornful glances from those eyes Go, then my mother, to thy daughter go Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, But ere sunset I'll make thee curse the deed. Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. CCXXVI - "TWHENFROMHIGHM" Thus hoping that Adonis is alive, Were fit for thee to use as they to claim, His wit set down to make his valour live Envy your great deservings and good name, Nay, he must bear you company. The king Fitter for sickness and for crazy age. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, My husband bids me; now I will unmask. Having the fearful flying hare in sight, I know the reason, lady, why you ask. Good cousin, be advised; stir not tonight. Hark, villains! I will grind your bones to dust Misuse the tenor of thy kinsman's trust? CCXXVII - "OSTPITCHWITHWE" Of heavy Pericles; think this his bark: Such pity as my rapier's point affords. The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark, Plantagenet shall speak first: hear him, lords; I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: That I must yield my body to the earth Can trip me, if I err; who with wet cheeks He that helps him take all my outward worth. When they change us for others? Is it sport? If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, The selfsame sun that shines upon his court He told me that rebellion had bad luck, Within this mile break forth a hundred springs; End in a word: such is the breath of kings. CCXXVIII - "ARYCARLIKEFEEB" A wither'd branch, that's only green at top; Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid You take my house when you do take the prop Confirm'd, confirm'd! O, that is stronger made And they shall feel the vengeance of my wrath. Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Look, here's a letter from him: the state hath In his descent than shall my prompted sword Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee From hence your memory death cannot take, Earth. Would it not grieve a woman to be Every man shift for all the rest, and But dreadful war shall answer his demand. CCXXIX - "LEAGEHEREELETH" Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And yet no further than a wanton's bird; Gazing upon the Greeks with little lust: Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Have all limed bushes to betray thy wings, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Richer than that which four successive kings Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Let this be so, and doubt not but success Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, These hairs which thou dost ravish from my chin Half stints their strife before their strokes begin. CCXXX - "FROMTHEDAYTHEE" For what, alas, can these my single arms? Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Thy tender-hefted nature shall not give He might return to vasty Tartar back, Even for this let us divided live, Doth my name lodge? tell me, that I may sack And like a lowly lover down she kneels; Your care is gain of care, by new care won: This very night at one another's heels, Hath this brave manage, this career, been run. England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. CCXXXI - "YESFOREDUTEOUS" Your mother lives a witness to that vow-- Else had she with her father rang'd along. So you do condescend to help me now. From thence to England; where I hope ere long Of King Polixenes, it should here be laid, Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Dare no man answer in a case of truth? Unless it be to think that she is by To be in love, where scorn is bought with groans; Either to get the town again or die: One day he gives us diamonds, next day stones. Unless she do it under this excuse, So him I lose through my unkind abuse. CCXXXII - "NOWCONVERTEDAR" Now keep your holy word: go meet the French, Our scions, put in wild and savage stock, Worse than the scaring bell, when the brown wench Come, poor remains of friends, rest on this rock. O, that record could with a backward look, Not with fond shekels of the tested gold, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Thou tremblest; and the whiteness in thy cheek Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Decline your head. This kiss, if it durst speak, And I will stoop and humble my intents Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. CCXXXIII - "EFROMHISLOWTRA" Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Fie, what a spendthrift is he of his tongue! Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Mine hair be fixed on end, as one distract; Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke In argument and proof of which contract, Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Lifts up his burning head, each under eye Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Whilst my gross flesh sinks downward, here to die. That may be must be, love, on Thursday next. Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; And wash their hands in Bassianus' blood. CCXXXIV - "CTANDLOOKANOTH" Cricket, to Windsor chimneys shalt thou leap: The need we have to use you did provoke And now their pride and mettle is asleep, Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke Did see and hear, devise, instruct, walk, feel, Look here upon th's picture, and on this, Or is the adder better than the eel O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. And ill beseeming any common man, Nor dare I say 'tis mine, and yet it is; Once more the engine of her thoughts began: They do, they do: and are apparell'd thus. How now, good fellow! wouldst thou speak with us? CCXXXV - "ERWAYSOTHOUTHY" Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Run back and bite, because he was withheld; When I have most need to employ a friend, And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: Of those that served Mark Antony but late, Then be my deer, since I am such a park; Had I thy youth and cause, I would not stay. O, pardon, that I name them! Your high self, Upon my hateful life. Another way This house, these servants and this same myself Hold you his hands, whilst I do set it on. You shall have wine enough, my lord, anon. CCXXXVI - "SELFOUTGOINGIN" Seeming and savour all the winter long: Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Lest I, too much profane, should do it wrong For ever may my knees grow to the earth, Or bring your latter hazard back again Unless thou couldst return to make amends? The former agents, if they did complain, Get you hence instantly, and tell those friends, Of vile confederates. Along with them I have engaged myself to a dear friend, No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Go with me, like good angels, to my end; I have some private schooling for you both. Now in his life, against your holy oath? CCXXXVII - "THYNOONUNLOOKD" The ship is in her trim; the merry wind Here must I stay, and here my life must end. Your grace, we think, should soonest know his mind. Not for my life: but yet I dare defend On all that need: let me report to him Of mine own kindred: when I waked, I found Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Uproar the universal peace, confound Nay, then I'll set those to you that can speak. Let them not cease, but with a din confused On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, O, that a lady, of one man refused. Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Devoured by the unexpected flood. CCXXXVIII - "ONDIESTUNLESST" O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art Now puts the drowsy and neglected act Do breed love's settled passions in my heart: In argument and proof of which contract, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. She would not lose it: her attendants are That ever turn'd their--backs--to mortal views! Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; No news so bad abroad as this at home; Leonine, take her by the arm, walk with her. Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: She was a wight, if ever such wight were,-- So woe hath wearied woe, moan tired moan, That I might strive to kill it with a groan. CCXXXIX - "HOUGETASONMUSI" His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt Or whether he be 'scaped away or no Under pretence to see the queen his aunt-- Good Tom Drum, lend me a handkercher: so, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, That wished him on the barren mountains starve. A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross; Stand aside, good bearer. Boyet, you can carve; Or, Hubert, if you will, cut out my tongue, Now, Master Slender: love him, daughter Anne. My love shall in my verse ever live young. Unless he live until he be a man. Since that my penitence comes after all, If by the way they be not fought withal. CCXL - "CTOHEARWHYHEAR" Can task the free breath of a sacred king? To lay on me a cruelty, by taking Or is it some abuse, and no such thing? He speaks not like a man of God's making. Either of king or council, when you went And losing her, my friend hath found that loss; Repair'd with double riches of content. Which would be worn now in their newest gloss, He says he will return incontinent: You told how Diomed, a whole week by days, Heart, once be stronger than thy continent, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, And in the morn and liquid dew of youth Remains in danger of her former tooth. CCXLI - "STTHOUMUSICSAD" See where she comes, and brings your froward wives To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws, These famish'd beggars, weary of their lives; Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws O, none of both but are of high desert: Upon the wild sea banks and waft her love My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt Upon his party for the gain thereof: So like to him that got it, if thou hast I will be thine; and till that instant shut Charging the sour-faced groom to hie as fast Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What! Amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, Do challenge thee to trial of a man. CCXLII - "LYSWEETSWITHSW" Like one besotted on your sweet delights: You are not ignorant, all-telling fame Successful in the battles that he fights, Well, tell me now what lady is the same Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Thou seest what's past, go fear thy king withal. Speak out thy sorrows which thou bring'st in haste, Which to maintain I would allow him odds, I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, That does appear as he were flay'd? O gods Her only fault, and that is faults enough, Shall be discover'd; please you, sit and hark. We wawl and cry. I will preach to thee. Mark. CCXLIII - "EETSWARNOTJOYD" End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Therefore no more of it: hear other things. Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence; What now? how chance thou art return'd so soon? And leave this idle theme, this bootless chat: Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Nay, nay, Octavia, not only that,-- O, wither'd is the garland of the war, Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck, Joint-ring, nor for measures of lawn, nor for Of as great size. Ween you of better luck, Yet one time he did call me by my name: Dim register and notary of shame! CCXLIV - "ELIGHTSINJOYWH" Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Like all mankind, show me an iron heart? I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Give me mine own again; 'twere no good part Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- There is a brief how many sports are ripe: So was I when your Highness banish'd him. If I would time expend with such a snipe. Now God in heaven bless thee! Hark you, sir. Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine Or is it Dian, habited like her, Your master's confidence was above mine; With ruder terms, such as my wit affords How far into the morning is it, lords? CCXLV - "YLOVESTTHOUTHA" You shall be yet far fairer than you are. Let me redeem my brothers both from death. O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Envied against the people, seeking means So is it in the music of men's lives. To be depender on a thing that leans, Thus might he pass indeed. Yet he revives. Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir: One word, sir: our watch, sir, have indeed Upon mine honour, thou shalt marry her. There's meed for meed, death for a deadly deed! Hang there, my verse, in witness of my love; As those that I am come to tell you of! CCXLVI - "TWHICHTHOURECE" Though palaces and pyramids do slope What know believe, and what I can redress, Hath brought me to thy hearth; not out of hope-- I know not, mighty sovereign, but by guess. Cannot dispraise but in a kind of praise; How could he stay till Warwick made return? This night the siege assuredly I'll raise: Have glow'd like plated Mars, now bend, now turn, O, that I were a glove upon that hand, Usurers' men! bawds between gold and want! Regard me as I do not flatter, and Each cheek a river running from a fount Chief master-gunner am I of this town; Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. CCXLVII - "IVESTNOTGLADLY" If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Ere such another Julius. Britain is She that could think and ne'er disclose her mind, That I shall lose distinction in my joys; No, when my father York and Edward wept, Occasions, noble Gloucester, of some poise, The key whereof myself have ever kept; Gelding the opposed continent as much Lest that it make me so unsound a man Are thrice themselves. Hence, therefore, thou nice crutch! Do no more offices of life to't than Like holy Phoebus' car. Give me thy hand: Your father's heir must have your father's land. CCXLVIII - "ORELSERECEIVES" O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad?

Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Each jealous of the other, as the stung Clarence hath not another day to live: Else you may be marvellously mistook.

CCXLIX - "TWITHPLEASURET" To have him match'd; and, if you please to like Within this limit is relief enough, I have not sought the day of this dislike. To your proceedings? do not seek to stuff He must observe their mood on whom he jests, Publius, Publius, what hast thou done? Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Expecting in return twenty for one? And twenty times made pause to sob and weep, She that was ever fair and never proud, Unless thou let his silver water keep Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, That from their own misdeeds askance their eyes! CCL - "HINEANNOYIFTHE" Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's If that her breath will mist or stain the stone, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: A thousand raw tricks of these bragging Jacks, Needs must I like it well: I weep for joy No, not to stay the finding of the axe, O Ned, sweet Ned! speak to thy mother, boy! You say that you'll have Phebe, if she will? I am your neighbour, and was suitor first. Fair glass of light, I loved you, and could still, The danger formerly by me rehearsed. He is as worthy for an empress' love Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. CCLI - "TRUECONCORDOFW" This news of peace. Let them have pay, and part. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing.

Or whether gasted by the noise I made, Us friends; I will pursue the amity. Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, During all question of the gentle truce; Shall be the war that Henry means to use. CCLIII - "BYUNIONSMARRIE" Blind sight, dead life, poor mortal living ghost, Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. Upon my death the French can little boast; Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, I never spent an hour's talk withal: O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call; Shed seas of tears and ne'er be satisfied! May now perchance both quake and tremble here, And she is fair, and, fairer than that word, Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Rely upon it till my tale be heard, I'll bury thee in a triumphant grave; Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! CCLIV - "DDOOFFENDTHINE" Do the low-rated English play at dice; Do smilingly revolt; and who resist Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. Our archers shall be placed in the midst For I have bought it with an hundred blows. For here's a paper written in his hand, Except it be to pray against thy foes. No if thou dost say 'no' to my demand. Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine To mock the subtle in themselves beguiled, Here's my glove: give me another of thine.

CCLV - "EARTHEYDOBUTSW" Each Trojan that is master of his heart, And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, Her father's liking; which to bring to pass, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. Do the low-rated English play at dice; On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, By what you see them act. Is there not charms Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. Till I have caught her once more in mine arms. Speak, fair; but speak fair words, or else be mute: What answer makes your grace unto my suit?

CCLVII - "WHOCONFOUNDSIN" Which, rank of goodness, would by ill be cured: He stuck them up before the fulsome ewes, Of all the voices that we have procured Conscience is but a word that cowards use, Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears. Never make known what you have seen to-night. Fellow. Has he any unbraided wares? Or else return no more into my sight. Upbraided me about the rose I wear; No, Harry, Harry, 'tis no land of thine; Despite the bear-ward that protects the bear. So many blows upon this face of mine, I moralize two meanings in one word. No? Come, brother; away! I will be heard. CCLVIII - "SINGLENESSTHEP" So long in his unlucky Irish wars It is a branch and parcel of mine oath, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Giving more light than heat, extinct in both Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause, Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Nor it nor no remembrance what it was: Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, So are those crisped snaky golden locks Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. He told me that rebellion had bad luck, Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Poor key-cold figure of a holy king! CCLIX - "ARTSTHATTHOUSH" A nest of hollow bosoms, which he fills Return, return, and make thy love amends. The fishes spread on it their golden gills; Since Richard and Northumberland, great friends, The other to enjoy by rage and war: His jest will savour but of shallow wit, Ay, that I had not done a thousand more. Therefore if you my favour mean to get, That keeps his leaves in spite of any storm, How often said, my dignity would last Or take his life there: this if she perform, Unto the main! O father, Maine is lost; Shylock thy master spoke with me this day, Have you got leave to go to shrift to-day? CCLX - "OULDSTBEARMARK" On yon young boy: I'll tell thee what, my friend, Upon the fortune of this present year: Look into these affairs see this main end, Do not go forth to-day: call it my fear Stay but a little, I will come again.

And therefore frolic; we will hence forthwith Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Master of this design, did give us, with And live a coward in thine own esteem, Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Knows not my feeble key of untuned cares? CCLXI - "HOWONESTRINGSW" His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, Ordained is to raise this tedious siege Which now the manage of two kingdoms must Of what you should forget. Now, good my liege Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; See what I do deliver out to each, That I have much ado to know myself. Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; I have forgiven and forgotten all; Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, Go home with it and please your wife withal; Some word there was, worser than Tybalt's death, With this abundance of superfluous breath? CCLXII - "EETHUSBANDTOAN" Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Through little vents and crannies of the place He gave his nose and took't away again; Unto the lodging where I first did swoon? So are those crisped snaky golden locks But you will take exceptions to my boon. Alas, the sea hath cast me on the rocks, Now crack thy lungs, and split thy brazen pipe: Drag hence her husband to some secret hole, There is a brief how many sports are ripe: O, then began the tempest to my soul, And as they last, their verdure still endure, None in the world: you did mistake him, sure. CCLXIII - "OTHERSTRIKESEA" Of Timon man and all humanity! That's on some shallow story of deep love: Harry the Fifth is crown'd. Up, vanity: Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Sweet love, what spite hath thy fair colour spent? Thy love's to me religious; else, does err. Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, I'll play the housewife for this once. What, ho! Keepers, convey him hence, and I myself Early and late, debating to and fro Stands here for God, his sovereign and himself, Even so void is your false heart of truth. A loving nurse, a mother to his youth. CCLXIV - "CHINEACHBYMUTU" Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, How unremovable and fix'd he is If but for fear of this, thy will remove; Now in the rearward comes the duke and his: Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, And place my merit in the eye of scorn, Can make seem pleasing to her tender years? Her foes shake like a field of beaten corn, By what you see them act. Is there not charms Your visitation shall receive such thanks My spirit can no longer bear these harms. Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks The bravest questant shrinks, find what you seek, Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. CCLXV - "ALORDERINGRESE" As he is striking, holds his infant up, Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time. O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Disguised like Muscovites, in shapeless gear; Excepting one, I would he were the best Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Into the quiet closure of my breast; Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? Go home with it and please your wife withal; Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, So many days my ewes have been with young; Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. CCLXVI - "MBLINGSIREANDC" My sister may receive it much more worse, By this, I think, the dial points at five: Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse I do not know that Englishman alive No vessel can peep forth, but 'tis as soon Gramercies, lad. Go forward; this contents; So many journeys may the sun and moon If I did stay to look on his intents. Reignier of France, I give thee kingly thanks, Environed with all these hideous fears? And hear thou there how many fruitless pranks No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Do pelt so fast at one another's pate Come, thou shalt bear a letter to him straight. CCLXVII - "HILDANDHAPPYMO" How 'scapes he agues, in the devil's name? If thou, that bid'st me be content, wert grim, Like fragments in hard voyages, became Devised impeachments to imprison him : And that to-morrow you will bring it home. Nor wink, nor nod, nor kneel, nor make a sign, Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, Had not his clouded with his brow's repine; And wolves are gnarling who shall gnaw thee first. Peace, mayor! thou know'st little of my wrongs: Past and to come seems best; things present, worst. Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs, My daughter shall be Henry's, if he please. O monstrous! what reproachful words are these? CCLXVIII - "THERWHOALLINON" To make such means for her as thou hast done How often said, my dignity would last Expecting in return twenty for one? Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! With those clear rays which she infused on me Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, Or not my father's. For I cannot be A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! Lorenzo, I commit into your hands Like boys unto a muss, kings would start forth, I have not stopp'd mine ears to their demands, No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Of those that turn'd their backs, and in his flight, Never make known what you have seen to-night. CCLXIX - "EONEPLEASINGNO" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast? Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, Look, here's a letter from him: the state hath Else one self mate and mate could not beget All this from my remembrance brutish wrath She was a wight, if ever such wight were,-- I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Never so little show of love to her, Gentle Lavinia, let me kiss thy lips. Nor this I have not, brother, so denied, Of knaves once more; my cook and I'll provide. CCLXX - "TEDOSINGWHOSES" That England, being empty of defence, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Didst not thou share? hadst thou not fifteen pence? O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! So first the harmless sheep doth yield his fleece In this the antique and well noted face Nor do I as an enemy to peace Good time of day unto your royal grace! We do not act that often jest and laugh; His rougher accents for malicious sounds, Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Show a fair presence and put off these frowns, Empale him with your weapons round about; So thin that life looks through, and will break out. CCLXXI - "PEECHLESSSONGB" Poor bird! thou'ldst never fear the net nor lime, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. England ne'er had a king until his time. Come, tie his body to my horse's tail; Hath oftentimes upbraided me withal: Let it be so! thy truth then be thy dower! Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Sir, pardon; 'tis for Agamemnon's ears. Some necessaries that I needs must use, Oppress'd with wrongs and therefore full of fears, Not what you are, I know it will excuse Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. But stay awhile; what company is this? CCLXXII - "EINGMANYSEEMIN" Extorted treasure in the womb of earth If Venus or her son, as thou dost know, Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth Good Tom Drum, lend me a handkercher: so, Meantime, forget this new-fall'n dignity, Am I Rome's slave? What penny hath Rome borne, Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. Your grace, that fed my country with your corn, So far from cheer and from your former state. Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Men must learn now with pity to dispense; It shall not fear where it should most mistrust; Now, France, thy glory droopeth to the dust. CCLXXIII - "GONESINGSTHIST" Good for their meat, and safer for their lives. Of maiden's patience. Hast thou slain him, then? Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Establish him in his true sense again, Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect It would not out at windows nor at doors. Nor construe any further my neglect, Grey of Northumberland, this same is yours: Shall never see his pardon; for my state Things for the cook, sir; but I know not what. Hence to wait; I beseech you, follow straight. I do not much dislike the matter, but Strike all that look upon with marvel. Come, Three thousand ducats; 'tis a good round sum. CCLXXIV - "OTHEETHOUSINGL" O'erworn, despised, rheumatic and cold, To use my wings. Impute it not a crime Here is a path to't: 'tis some savage hold: Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time England, bound in with the triumphant sea The small'st opinion on my least misuse? Have not you love enough to bear with me, O Caesar! these things are beyond all use, Upon a fearful summons. I have heard See, where he comes: so please you, step aside; It does abhor me now I speak the word; Ne'er through an arch so hurried the blown tide, Good parts aside I have no other charms. Lavinia, thou shalt be employ'd: these arms! CCLXXV - "EWILTPROVENONE" Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Which in a moment doth confound and kill I pray thee, chide not; she whom I love now Look, when I serve him so, he takes it ill. Than my out-wall, open this purse and take Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Of thy nativity! I would the milk Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Each changing place with that which goes before, Nor could she moralize his wanton sight, Out of my sight, and never see me more! Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme England ne'er had a king until his time. CCLXXVI - "ISITFORFEARTOW" I am a lamb: but if you brave the Moor, Should I, in these my borrow'd flaunts, behold I thank thee, gentle Percy; and be sure Then in the number let me pass untold, For England go: I will whet on the king. Or make some sign how I may do thee ease: Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. From high to low throughout, that whoso please Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Ay, and we are betroth'd: nay, more, our, Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, That can assure my daughter greatest dower O, what a noble combat hast thou fought When such bad dealings must be seen in thought. CCLXXVII - "ETAWIDOWSEYETH" Except you mean with obstinate repulse To work my mind, when body's work's expired: A cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse With that which, but by being so retired, I know not where to turn: O, welcome home: Dare ye come forth and meet us in the field? O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Which to his speech did honey passage yield; See how I am bewitch'd; behold mine arm Excels whatever yet you look'd upon You know an enemy intends you harm; Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, That grew upon my lips: then laid his leg He asks of you, that never used to beg. CCLXXVIII - "ATTHOUCONSUMES" Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth To give in evidence. What then? What rests? Though you respect not aught your servant doth, He must observe their mood on whom he jests, O thou fond many, with what loud applause Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Clip dead men's graves and from their misty jaws One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Nor to their penn'd speech render we no grace, Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote: Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Save thieves, and cares, and troubled minds, that wake. CCLXXIX - "TTHYSELFINSING" To spoil the city and your royal court. The very beadsmen learn to bend their bows How far a modern quill doth come too short, Yet I alone, alone do me oppose Steal from his figure and no pace perceived; Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Lives in the English court, and is received For this one night; which, part of it, I'll waste I must from this enchanting queen break off: Nor customary suits of solemn black, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough I ne'er might say before. When I came back-- No, I will weep no more. In such a night Gazing on that which seems to dim thy sight? CCLXXX - "LELIFEAHIFTHOU" Love give me strength! and strength shall help afford. Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Lysander! what, removed? Lysander! lord! It were enough to fright the realm of France: For what doth cherish weeds but gentle air? Even for this let us divided live, And beat the messenger who bids beware His taken labours bid him me forgive; I am, my lord, but as my betters are For shame, you generals! what do you mean? Thyself, forsooth, hereafter theirs, so far Have any resting for her true king's queen. O monstrous! what reproachful words are these? Upon the next live creature that it sees. CCLXXXI - "ISSUELESSSHALT" I fear, too many curses on their beads She speaks much of her father; says she hears Scratching her legs, that one shall swear she bleeds Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Lies crafty-sick. The posts come tiring on, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. She is a woman, therefore may be won; She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, Sky-planted batters all rebelling coasts? How came the noble Timon to this change? And there are twenty weak and wearied posts Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal: The hope thereof makes Clifford mourn in steel. CCLXXXII - "HAPTODIETHEWOR" He was a gentleman on whom I built All gold and silver rather turn to dirt! Pardon me, wife. Henceforth do what thou wilt; To do more for me than mine own desert, Or as thy father and his father did, Disclaiming here the kindred of the king, I thank thee for it; and heaven forbid Egregious murderer, thief, any thing The thing we have; and, all for want of wit, Have I, my lord? Assure you, my good liege, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege; Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. CCLXXXIII - "LDWILLWAILTHEE" Let her who would be rid of him devise Deserve not worse than wretched Clarence did, Within thy help and holy physic lies: I thank thee for it; and heaven forbid Lest thou be hated both of God and man! Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Would I were young for your sake, Mistress Anne! As after some oration fairly spoke Into the chamber wickedly he stalks, Lionel Duke of Clarence: next to whom The curtains being close, about he walks, He stamps and bites the poor flies in his fume. Either be gone before the watch be set, Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. CCLXXXIV - "LIKEAMAKELESSW" Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad? In seeking to augment it, but still keep Knave; that's, before me thou'rt a knave: this had Edward and York; then haply she will weep: And welcome, welcome! die where thou hast lived: Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, And when you find him evenly derived Keep their fur dry, unbonneted he runs, Either of you to be the other's end. Let this be so, and doubt not but success Each hath his place and function to attend: Stabbed their mothers, they would have done no less. So woe hath wearied woe, moan tired moan, With blood removed but little from her own? CCLXXXV - "IFETHEWORLDWIL" I am as like to call thee so again, For canker vice the sweetest buds doth love, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, That of yourself which you yet know not of. Had not been here to dress the ugly form Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. Who in unnecessary action swarm Or more than any living man could bear. Remove you hence. I knew you at the first Like her! O Isis! 'tis impossible. Dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst. We will persuade him, be it possible, I'll woo you like a soldier, at arms' end, Lady, will you walk about with your friend? CCLXXXVI - "LBETHYWIDOWAND" Like a right gipsy, hath, at fast and loose, But lusty, young, and cheerly drawing breath. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Two of her brothers were condemn'd to death, How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? Yet shall you have all kindness at my hand What should he say? We wept after her hearse, In this self-place where now we mean to stand. Do pelt so fast at one another's pate Out of his subject; and we here dispatch With some more ducats, and be with you straight. And learn me how to lose a winning match, Nothing at all: it is a highwrought flood; Do execution on my flesh and blood. CCLXXXVII - "STILLWEEPTHATT" So foul a sky clears not without a storm: That here by mountaineers lies slain. Alas! I dare be bound he's true and shall perform Let him fear this, for it will come to pass Look he's winding up the watch of his wit; Which shipmen do the hurricano call, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Pronounce thee a gross lout, a mindless slave, To be the father unto many sons. He would quickly have the gift of a grave. Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: That when the sea was calm all boats alike Than those I shed for him. What was he like? CCLXXXVIII - "HOUNOFORMOFTHE" He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, O, by this count I shall be much in years Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Or else his head's assurance is but frail. For you shall hop without my custom, sir. Of my wife's brother, then his cheek look'd pale, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were My lord, no leave take I; for I will ride, Or pay you with unthankfulness in thought, First, for I cannot flatter thee in pride; That hath beside well in his person wrought How well resembles it the prime of youth, Even so void is your false heart of truth. CCLXXXIX - "EHASTLEFTBEHIN" Enough to purchase what you have made known. He hath the jewel of my life in hold, And see him seated in the regal throne. So is my love still telling what is told. Tell him from me that he hath done me wrong, Lest that it make me so unsound a man Else had she with her father rang'd along. Fortunes: his grace hath made the match, and an These men of Angiers: let us hear them speak But thus his simple truth must be abused Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek How were they lost? what treachery was used? I must have patience to endure the load: Never hung poison on a fouler toad. CCXC - "DWHENEVERYPRIV" Did Julius Caesar build that place, my lord? Well, I will lock his counsel in my breast; Husht, master! Here's some good pastime toward; Excepting one, I would he were the best No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. Poor miserable wretches, to your death: Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! I know not how to tell thee who I am: Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? CCXCI - "ATEWIDOWWELLMA" A vessel rides fast by, but not prepared That tremble at the imagination? Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Were't not that, by great preservation, I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve Darest with thy frozen admonition O god of love! I know he doth deserve Wave thus, to express his disposition, Why should he live, now Nature bankrupt is, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Let Henry fret and all the world repine. May that ground gape and swallow me alive, And grant it may with thee in true peace live! CCXCII - "YKEEPBYCHILDRE" You have the honey still, but these the gall; King Henry's faithful and anointed queen: Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Past all expressing. It is very meet Bear with her weakness, which, I think proceeds Your wit makes wise things foolish: when we greet, Come, let us hence, and put on other weeds; How often hast thou waited at my cup, I will lay odds that, ere this year expire, Look, if my gentle love be not raised up! Doth too too oft betake him to retire, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Eternal numbers to outlive long date. CCXCIII - "NSEYESHERHUSBA" Not portable, lie under this report: Say that before Ascension-day at noon Except some petty towns of no import: You sent me for a rope's end as soon: Each way and move. I take my leave of you: She moves me not, or not removes, at least, Himself on her self-slaughter'd body threw; Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Hearing of your arrival in this realm, Unless it be whilst some tormenting dream Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; But now the arbitrator of despairs, And bid the owners quench them with their tears. CCXCIV - "NDSSHAPEINMIND" Now welcome more, and ten times more beloved, Done to me, undeserving as I am, Since he hath got the jewel that I loved, Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, Have banged the youth into dumbness. This was As one that surfeits thinking on a want. Patience is scottish, and impatience does Each cheek a river running from a fount I conjure thee to leave me and be gone. Nor by a hired knife; but that self hand, My life I never held but as a pawn If this same were a churchyard where we stand, Now, by my hood, a Gentile and no Jew. Deadly divorce step between me and you! CCXCV - "LOOKWHATANUNTH" Like warlike as the wolf for what we eat; O young and noble Cato, art thou down? O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit Kneel down before him, hang upon his gown: When you shall please to play the thieves for wives, He falls to such perusal of my face And therefore level not to hit their lives. Think what thou wilt, I am thy lover's grace; A goodly day not to keep house, with such Now, if the help of Norfolk and myself, Unless I flatter with myself too much. No, misery makes sport to mock itself: That is the way to lay the city flat; He's a good fellow, I can tell you that. CCXCVI - "RIFTINTHEWORLD" Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Indeed we heard how near his death he was For your good host. Pray that the right may thrive. There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas I'll to the Duke of Suffolk presently. Now, as I can remember, by my troth, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly He will do all in all as Hastings doth. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: What things again most dear in the esteem Of time, of numbers and due course of things, Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Losing both beauty and utility. Doth make an earthquake of nobility. CCXCVII - "DOTHSPENDSHIFT" Dial is now upon the prick of noon. Or, by the gods, this speech were else your last. This whole earth may be bored and that the moon How were I then uplifted! but, alas! So justly to your grave ears I'll present Peaceful commerce from dividable shores, Either of king or council, when you went No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. Farewell, proud Rome; till Lucius come again, To enter in the thoughts of desperate men! CCXCVIII - "SBUTHISPLACEFO" Shall be the war that Henry means to use. By nature made for murders and for rapes. Unless she do it under this excuse, To worship shadows and adore false shapes, Her face doth reek and smoke, her blood doth boil, It shall not wind with such a deep indent, So service shall with steeled sinews toil, Post hither, this vile purpose to prevent? Let us go thank him, and encourage him; And thirty dozen moons with borrowed sheen Came for additions; yet their purposed trim Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. For want of means, poor rats, had hang'd themselves: Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. CCXCIX - "RSTILLTHEWORLD" Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish She now shall be my sister, not my wife. To put good meat into an unclean dish. I would prolong awhile the traitor's life. Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. To have her back return'd: thus to persist He hath found the meaning, for which we mean Either thou art most ignorant by age, Which to his former strength may be restored Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Let's kiss and part, for we have much to do. Drugs poison him that so fell sick of you. CCC - "ENJOYSITBUTBEA" Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn John, to stop Arthur's title in the whole, Outside or inside, I will not return You must eat men. Yet thanks I must you con Show me the very wound of this ill news: Is marching hitherwards; with him Prince John. The king shall be contented: must he lose Became the next day's master, till the last Upon offenders, hath exceeded law, Thy place in council thou hast rudely lost. By whose approach the regions of Artois, Expect him here: when he shall come and find A god in love, to whom I am confined. CCCI - "UTYSWASTEHATHI" Under these hard conditions as this time To half a soul and to a notion crazed You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. Speak not so grossly. You are all amazed: Were dolphin-like; they show'd his back above And therefore frolic; we will hence forthwith Shall change all griefs and quarrels into love. The kings your ancestors, together with Except you mean with obstinate repulse He needs as many, sir, as Caesar has; And, gazing in mine eyes, feeling my pulse, Tell me how Wales was made so happy as He had of me a chain: at five o'clock It faded on the crowing of the cock. CCCII - "NTHEWORLDANEND" No, not to stay the finding of the axe, The great prerogative and rite of love, Have wrought the easy-melting king like wax. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. What the conditions of that league must be. Out of their best--is not almost a fault Rating myself at nothing, you shall see Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? And death approach not ere my tale be done. Now to the bottom dost thou search my wound: Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Not painted with the crimson spots of blood. Devoured by the unexpected flood. CCCIII - "ANDKEPTUNUSEDT" Ay, by my faith, for a poor earl to give: Now where is he that will not stay so long Do appear, to make the world twice rich. Live, King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Passion, I see, is catching; for mine eyes, Therefore this maxim out of love I teach: Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs; No, I protest, I know not the contents; Unless he do submit himself to Rome. Subject and servile to all discontents, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Door would speak with you: he says he comes from The end of this day's business ere it come! CCCIV - "HEUSERSODESTRO" Here's a good world the while! Why who's so gross, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Seeming and savour all the winter long: Each hath his place and function to attend: Revives two greater in the heirs of life; Sir John, I am thy Pistol and thy friend, O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves! Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, So may the outward shows be least themselves: To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! CCCV - "YSITNOLOVETOWA" You shall confess that you are both deceived. See justice done on Aaron, that damn'd Moor, If something thou wilt swear to be believed, That he should be so abject, base and poor, Nerissa teaches me what to believe: Of many thousand kisses the poor last Let me not shame respect; but give me leave Or four and twenty times the pilot's glass Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Establish him in his true sense again, To dry the rain on my storm-beaten face, Over my thigh, and sigh'd, and kiss'd; and then Where I have seen them shiver and look pale, And feeds from home; poor I am but his stale. CCCVI - "RDOTHERSINTHAT" Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Discredit more in hiding of the fault On Thursday, sir? the time is very short. They may vex us with shot, or with assault. Her dowry wealthy, and of worthy birth; Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, See, see; here comes the man we went to seek. Into the service of the time and was No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? Ay, and it makes men hate one another. Tell me, how fares our loving mother? CCCVII - "BOSOMSITSTHATO" Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, O heavy times, begetting such events! Such as she is, in beauty, virtue, birth, Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents, My unprovided body, lanch'd mine arm; Suffer't, and live with such as cannot rule If that be all, masters, I hear no harm. The man that gave them thee. Thou art some fool; Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What! That ever, ever, I did yet behold! Hath doubtfully pronounced thy throat shall cut, And the remembrancer of her to hold The king hath dispossess'd himself of us: Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. CCCVIII - "NHIMSELFSUCHMU" Never did mockers waste more idle breath. Her earnest eye did make him more amazed: I swear to do this, though a present death Men's liking: and yet he would not swear; praised So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. Excepting one, I would he were the best Let shame say what it will. When these are gone, For this they have been thoughtful to invest Shall lose the royalty of England's throne. Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Confess who set thee up and pluck'd thee own, Hostility and civil tumult reigns Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, Upon my target three fair-shining suns. CCCIX - "RDEROUSSHAMECO" Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Dismask'd, their damask sweet commixture shown, Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, Of soft petitions, pity and remorse, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force, Shore his old thread in twain: did he live now, Here where his daughter dwells; and on this coast And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine, My resolution, love, shall be thy boast, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Cousin of Buckingham, a word with you. O Antony!--Nay, I will take thee too. CCCX - "MMITSFORSHAMED" Methought he bore him in the thickest troop Myself have often heard him say and swear I would attach you all and make you stoop That his foul thoughts might compass his fair fair, Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, Felt so much cold as over shoes in snow? Open as day for melting charity; Reveals before 'tis ripe, what thou dost know Should prove the mother of fools. I have brought How I may be deliver'd of these woes, Above the reach or compass of thy thought? My blood, my want of strength, my sick heart shows. Envy your great deservings and good name, Dim register and notary of shame! CCCXI - "ENYTHATTHOUBEA" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. You have no stomach having broke your fast; The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike, He will recover straight: when he is gone, A fox to be the shepherd of thy lambs. The pin-buttock, the quatch-buttock, the brawn That had not half a week to go, like rams How many inches doth fill up one mile. O Harry's wife, triumph not in my woes! Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style By working wreakful vengeance on thy foes. Empties itself, as doth an inland brook And better in my mind not undertook. CCCXII - "RSTLOVETOANYWH" Rot and consume themselves in little time. Stay, stand apart; I know not which is which. To use my wings. Impute it not a crime Like a poor beggar, raileth on the rich. O, I have pass'd a miserable night, Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Thou fell'st into my fury, for one death Of both your armies; whose equality A poor earl's daughter is unequal odds, Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality: You have, I know, petition'd all the gods Which to his speech did honey passage yield; Help me this once, that France may get the field. CCCXIII - "OFORTHYSELFART" O miracle of men!--him did you leave-- For his foul act by whom thy fair wife bleeds? Or something hath the nothing that I grieve: Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. Your brother is a forfeit of the law, Shall outstrike thought: but thought will do't, I feel. Environed with a wilderness of sea, Love, lend me wings to make my purpose swift, For these, of force, must your oblations be, And he wears jewels now of Timon's gift, Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, That hid the worse and show'd the better face. CCCXIV - "SOUNPROVIDENTG" So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench O god of love! I know he doth deserve Up once again; put spirit in the French: No doubt they rose up early to observe Proclaim that I can sing, weave, sew, and dance, Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Only to show his pomp as well in France Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, In having known no travel in his youth. Did never traitor in the land commit. Even so void is your false heart of truth. No faith, proud mistress, hope not after it; To Italy; and there at Venice gave Go, base intruder! overweening slave! CCCXV - "RANTIFTHOUWILT" Reignier, her father, to the king of France And lay them gently on thy tender side. Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide; I will advise you where to plant yourselves; Fie, what a spendthrift is he of his tongue! The French fight coldly, and retire themselves. He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Until thy head be circled with the same. Why, universal plodding poisons up In asking their good loves, but thou wilt frame Let him have time to mark how slow time goes Tune my distresses and record my woes. CCCXVI - "THOUARTBELOVED" Think you I can a resolution fetch Here sits a king more woful than you are. O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Above the morning lark. Or wilt thou hunt? Remember me at court; where I was taught This third, dull lead, with warning all as blunt, But that my master rather play'd than fought Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Let what is meet be said it must be meet, Only to show his pomp as well in France Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? CCCXVII - "OFMANYBUTTHATT" Of all mad matches, never was the like. For Oberon is passing fell and wrath, My purpose was for Tarsus, there to strike As well descended as thyself; and hath Not to woo honour, but to wed it; when Your potent and infectious fevers heap Before I freely speak my mind herein, Under whose brim the gaudy sun would peep; This palpable-gross play hath well beguiled Thou nobly base, they basely dignified; Had graced the tender temples of my child, And so I was; which plainly signified That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, The people's enemy is gone, is gone! CCCXVIII - "HOUNONELOVESTI" Have glow'd like plated Mars, now bend, now turn, Offer their own lives in their young's defence? Until her husband and my lord's return: No care, no stop! so senseless of expense, Of him that makes it: then, if sickly ears, Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, Environed with all these hideous fears? Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, O my good lord, when I was like this maid, Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Each present lord began to promise aid, Stand all aloof: but, uncle, draw you near, That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, I'll show the virtue I have borne in arms. CCCXIX - "SMOSTEVIDENTFO" Some trumpet summon hither to the walls Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, O, this is full of pity! Sir, it calls, Saying, I liked her ere I went to wars. There were two honours lost, yours and your son's. Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. If with a lady of so high resolve Doth with a twofold vigour lift me up Enow to press a royal merchant down Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. To bandy word for word and frown for frown; From sun to sun: there is my honour's pawn; O love, dispatch all business, and be gone! CCCXX - "RTHOUARTSOPOSS" Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. The means of weakness and debility; Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad Out of my lean and low ability Under what colour he commits this ill. Are we not beaten? Is not Angiers lost? Run to my study. By and by! God's will, The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws Of all that virtue love for virtue loved: Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws, Of credit infinite, highly beloved, She shall be habited as it becomes Search, seek, and know how this foul murder comes. CCCXXI - "ESSDWITHMURDER" Exception bid him speak, and at this time Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: Since, spite of him, I'll live in this poor rhyme, Do we shake hands. All come to this? The hearts Who is thy grandfather: he made those clothes, I know thee well; thou hast obtain'd thy suit: That in alliance, amity and oaths, He dies that touches any of this fruit Mad let us grant him then. And now remains Upon the instant that she was accused, Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. CCCXXII - "OUSHATETHATGAI" O, to what purpose dost thou hoard thy words, Unless you call it good to pity him, Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- And he repents not that he pays your debt; To me she's married, not unto my clothes. Either be gone before the watch be set, That in alliance, amity and oaths, How came the noble Timon to this change? And throw between them all the food thou hast, To new-found methods and to compounds strange? Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past: Ay, sharp and piercing, to maintain his truth; In wholesome counsel to his unstaid youth? CCCXXIII - "NSTTHYSELFTHOU" Never was such a sudden scholar made; She would to each one sip. You are retired, This said, he shakes aloft his Roman blade, To work my mind, when body's work's expired: Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, Yet do thy cheeks look red as Titan's face Seem they in motion? Here are sever'd lips, Either withdraw unto some private place, Like to his father's greatness: his approach, Fetch us in fuel; and be quick, thou'rt best, That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: Hence ever then my heart is in thy breast. Of your philosophy you make no use, Upon the gad? Edmund, how now? What news? CCCXXIV - "STICKSTNOTTOCO" Shall win my love; and so I take my leave, This is the way to kindle, not to quench. I can scarce speak to thee. Thou'lt not believe Come hither, boy: ask me this slave in French Knowing that with the shadow of his wings Shed on the earth, for thy return to Rome: That then I scorn to change my state with kings. No joyful tongue gave him his welcome home: Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon To melt the city leads upon your pates, Take time to pause; and, by the nest new moon-- Off with his head, and set it on York gates; Came then into my mind, and yet my mind Old Helicanus goes along behind. CCCXXV - "NSPIRESEEKINGT" Now, for my life, the knave doth court my love. She's such a one, that, were I well assured Pray you, sir, was't not the wise woman of It easeth some, though none it ever cured, Receive them then, the tribute that I owe, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Said he not so? or did I dream it so? Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Knights of the garter were of noble birth, Is jollity for apes and grief for boys. Nor to his service no such joy on earth. Give you all greetings that a king, at friend, Then have I kept it to a worthy end. CCCXXVI - "HATBEAUTEOUSRO" Have suffer'd like a girl: yet thou dost look A private whisper, no, not with such friends Ten years are spent since first he undertook Both truth and beauty on my love depends; Even or odd, of all days in the year, An honour in him which buys out his fault-- Unclasp'd my practise, quit his fortunes here, Thou shalt be borne to that same ancient vault Even like a man new haled from the rack, O Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet! Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: So many of his shadows thou hast met Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Of which, my lord, your honour is the last. CCCXXVII - "OFTORUINATEWHI" Of all the voices that we have procured For yonder walls, that pertly front your town, The ills that were not, grew to faults assured Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death. Unless he seek to thrust you out perforce. I will be brief, for my short date of breath Never pray more; abandon all remorse; And throw between them all the food thou hast, Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. With many holiday and lady terms Hang in the air a thousand leagues from hence, I shall return before your lordship thence. CCCXXVIII - "CHTOREPAIRSHOU" Command my eldest son, nay, all my sons, He that hath lost her too; so is the queen, Thou shouldst be colour'd thus. You married ones, Of the great count himself, she is too mean Repeat their semblance often on the seas, Enow to press a royal merchant down Prithee go in thyself; seek thine own ease. As sure as in this late-betrayed town In faint retire. O, bravely came we off, Remaining in the coffer of her friends, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Of all the gentry; for the most part such Unless I flatter with myself too much. CCCXXIX - "LDBETHYCHIEFDE" Look, when a painter would surpass the life, Drown desperate sorrow in dead Edward's grave, Become a Christian and thy loving wife. Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! To say they err I dare not be so bold, Had nature lent thee but thy mother's look, You know no Centaur? you received no gold? Cupid all arm'd: a certain aim he took How blow? how blow? speak to be understood. I will entreat you, when you see my son, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Filths savour but themselves. What have you done? Divides more wider than the sky and earth, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. CCCXXX - "SIREOCHANGETHY" Speak to great Caesar as he comes along. I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Of both your armies; whose equality Could trammel up the consequence, and catch Her grief, but not her grief's true quality: And couple Clowder with the deep-mouth'd brach. Not making worse what nature made so clear, Giving myself a voluntary wound Even or odd, of all days in the year, That music hath a far more pleasing sound; Her immortality, and made her thrall You shall have me assisting you in all. CCCXXXI - "THOUGHTTHATIMA" The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Undo that prayer, by crying out as loud, Go not about; my love hath in't a bond, How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? Thou naughty gaoler, that thou art so fond The cedar stoops not to the base shrub's foot, His face still combating with tears and smiles, And most deceiving when it seems most just; Take you your instrument, play you the whiles! Incite them to quick motion; for I must My love and her desert; that canst not dream, A senseless help when help past sense we deem. CCCXXXII - "YCHANGEMYMINDS" You are too cold; if you should need a pin, Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, Her injury the beadle to her sin, And the demesnes that there adjacent lie, Now must I hide his body in some hole, Go to thy lady's grave and call hers thence, Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Muster your wits; stand in your own defence; You are my all the world, and I must strive Making them proud of his humility, Infected as her life, she would not live Not I, my lord; sith true nobility Depose him in the justice of his cause. Such as she says my lord did say I was. CCCXXXIII - "HALLHATEBEFAIR" He had of me a chain: at five o'clock And what wit could wit have to excuse that? Lady, give me your hand, and, as we walk, Let me have men about me that are fat; He did solicit you in free contempt And prologue to the omen coming on, The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Excels whatever yet you look'd upon But by self-danger, you should tread a course Excepting one, I would he were the best For hither we have broken in by force. And so repose, sweet gold, for their unrest Into the danger of this adverse town; Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown. CCCXXXIV - "ERLODGEDTHANGE" Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Lest he that is the supreme King of kings Of which, my lord, your honour is the last. Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake, Go to my chamber, put on clothes of mine. England we love; and for that England's sake Death of thy soul! those linen cheeks of thine The sweets we wish for turn to loathed sours Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? A thousand irreligious cursed hours, No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. Go, go, be gone, to save your ship from wreck, Each in his office ready at thy beck. CCCXXXV - "NTLELOVEBEASTH" Nay, stay; lets hear the orisons he makes. To Athens will I bear my folly back Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Even like a man new haled from the rack, Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: Or four and twenty times the pilot's glass Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Be playfellows to keep you company! Effect it with some care, that he may prove And shall, or him we will accompany. So thou be good, slander doth but approve Thus is the shepherd beaten from thy side, Here comes my sister, reading; stand aside. CCCXXXVI - "YPRESENCEISGRA" Yea, but a little charge will trench him here Pardon me, Edward, I will make amends: Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, See better, Lear, and let me still remain Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Nay, come, I pray you, sir, give me the chain: Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough. Exist, and be a member of his love I am unworthy to be Henry's wife. She'll none o' the count: she'll not match above Go quick away; the story of my life Receive the sentence of the law for sins And when the rage allays, the rain begins. CCCXXXVII - "CIOUSANDKINDOR" Can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth It is the pasture lards the rother's sides, One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. Upon the beauty of all parts besides, See what I do deliver out to each, A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; Devise but how you'll use him when he comes, Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Ne'er feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch: O, my good lord, why are you thus alone? Revenge upon myself with present moan? CCCXXXVIII - "TOTHYSELFATLEA" Threescore and ten I can remember well: Once did I get him bound and sent him home, That in the natures of their lords rebel, Have I my pillow left unpress'd in Rome, Yes, 'tis most meet: whom may you else oppose, Say that thou didst forsake me for some fault, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? For at Saint Mary's chapel presently And, if the rest be true which I have heard, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word Ere you can take due orders for a priest: And flaky darkness breaks within the east. CCCXXXIX - "STKINDHEARTEDP" Show scarce so gross as beetles. Halfway down That only to stand high in your account, Kneel down before him, hang upon his gown: I was preserved to serve this noble count. No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem Did tell me of you, bade me trust you; but Here in Verona, ladies of esteem, Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What And golden Phoebus never be beheld Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, Thou dost make possible things not so held, Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Dial is now upon the prick of noon. Play, music, then! Nay, you must do it soon. CCCXL - "ROVEMAKETHEEAN" Rather to wonder at the things you hear Oft have I heard of sanctuary men; Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Establish him in his true sense again, My gracious lord, you look beyond him quite. And flaky darkness breaks within the east. Kill me to-morrow: let me live to-night! Ere you can take due orders for a priest: To swear, swears only not to be forsworn; Here comes the holy legate of the pope. End in one purpose, and be all well borne England did never owe so sweet a hope, And so by many winding nooks he strays Now thou dost penance too. Look how they gaze! CCCXLI - "OTHERSELFFORLO" O, sure I am, the wits of former days To your proceedings? do not seek to stuff Hallow'd with sighs that burning lungs did raise; Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Resolve your angry father, if my tongue So I may keep mine eyes: O, spare mine eyes. Each jealous of the other, as the stung Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Forsook his scene and enter'd in a brake Fortune had left to both of us alike Or, if not so, thy noble heart to break: Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. Lend me your knees, and all my life to come O, why should wrath be mute, and fury dumb? CCCXLII - "VEOFMETHATBEAU" Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich; Might be a copy to these younger times; Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there These accusations and these grievous crimes Hope gives not so much warrant, as despair And stood stark naked on the brook's green brim: That England, being empty of defence, Because I love him I must pity him. Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Almost to jelly with the act of fear, Unclaim'd of any man. But who comes here? CCCXLIII - "TYSTILLMAYLIVE" To shrink mine arm up like a wither'd shrub; Yet are these feet, whose strengthless stay is numb, Shall blow each dust, each straw, each little rub, To this well-painted piece is Lucrece come, Is quite forgot. He was a queen's son, boys; Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; Means he not us? I partly know him: 'tis And I have read that Hecuba of Troy You that look pale and tremble at this chance, Lucius, I'll fit thee; and withal, my boy, I see a yielding in the looks of France; Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. CCCXLIV - "INTHINEORTHEEA" Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse. Not he which says the dead is not alive. This token serveth for a flag of truce How many years a mortal man may live. In rage dismiss'd my father from the court; Nor never look upon each other's face; Except some petty towns of no import: Of the most pious Edward with such grace Religious love put out Religion's eye: That dog, that had his teeth before his eyes, He be as miserably slain as I. Envy the great nor do the low despise. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. And such an instrument I was to use. CCCXLV - "SFASTASTHOUSHA" Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, France is a bawd to Fortune and King John, And, madam, at your father's castle walls Sir, she can turn, and turn, and yet go on, That when the sea was calm all boats alike As level as the cannon to his blank, So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! That unassailable holds on his rank, Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Our scions, put in wild and savage stock, Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. Had nature lent thee but thy mother's look, And died to kiss his shadow in the brook. CCCXLVI - "LTWANESOFASTTH" Like Amazons come tripping after drums, That for a trifle that was bought with blood Wait you on him, I charge you, as becomes, And writers say, as the most forward bud Nay, hear me, Hubert, drive these men away, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. O my good lord, the world is but a word: For ever and for ever shall be yours. Ay, but these rags are no part of the duke: So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. That, when he waked, of force she must be eyed. He shall not make me there a joyful bride. CCCXLVII - "OUGROWESTINONE" O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. Upon his honour'd finger, to attain Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Were gracious in those princely eyes of thine, Enow to press a royal merchant down Shall be applied. For us, we will resign, The sun will set before I shall discharge If you will lead these graces to the grave No, Caesar, we will answer on their charge. Of his own body he was ill, and gave No, not my body nor my husband's bed: Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. CCCXLVIII - "OFTHINEFROMTHA" Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick, Faster than gnats in cobwebs; but her eyes,-- That smiles his cheek in years and knows the trick Here friend by friend in bloody channel lies, I'll go and chat with Paris: hie, make haste, Now I behold thy lively body so? Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. For never was a story of more woe Richard, thy wife, that wretched Anne thy wife, O woe! thy canopy is dust and stones;-- My heart doth joy that yet in all my life Than my heart cool with mortifying groans. His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: A gentle cousin, were it light enough. CCCXLIX - "TWHICHTHOUDEPA" Take you your instrument, play you the whiles! When thou dost hear I am as I have been, His face still combating with tears and smiles, In thy hand clutch'd as many millions, in Come hither, ere my tree hath felt the axe, He dreamt to-night the boar had razed his helm: That was the way to make his godhead wax, Hearing of your arrival in this realm, Or nature makes me suddenly relent. Unto a view so false will not incline; Dear lord, go you and greet him in his tent: Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Pride, haughtiness, opinion and disdain: And so farewell, till we shall meet again. CCCL - "RTESTANDTHATFR" Return, return, and make thy love amends. These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, So farewell, Reignier: set this diamond safe Thou art too wild, too rude and bold of voice; A nest of hollow bosoms, which he fills Never did faithful subject more rejoice Driving back shadows over louring hills: To see great Hercules whipping a gig, Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad And profound Solomon to tune a jig, To throw away the dearest thing he owed, Fear not; 'tis empty of all things but grief; Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. CCCLI - "ESHBLOODWHICHY" Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Stand I before thee here. Then if thou hast How rarely does it meet with this time's guise, By laboursome petition, and at last Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! On safe-guard he came to me; and did curse Of his oath-breaking; which he mended thus, Doth ill deserve by doing well; what's worse, Whose nature is so far from doing harms He runs, and chides his vanish'd, loathed delight. Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms, Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night, He fell sick suddenly, and grew so ill You say that you'll have Phebe, if she will? CCCLII - "OUNGLYTHOUBEST" Of gold and jewels that I bobb'd from him, Under your pardon. You must note beside, Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Gave you a dancing-rapier by your side, Limit each leader to his several charge, Your gaoler shall deliver you the keys This little abstract doth contain that large He will the rather do it when he sees O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. Unable to support this lump of clay, But fare ye well: 'tis partly my own fault; Entreat her not the worse in that I pray Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well; Than Bolingbroke to England. Lords, farewell. CCCLIII - "OWESTTHOUMAYST" O, rhymes are guards on wanton Cupid's hose: Why do you speak so startingly and rash? Except it be to pray against thy foes. She takes upon her bravely at first dash. That water-walled bulwark, still secure To bid the wind a base he now prepares, How now, Signior Launce! what news with your Or by his foe surprised at unawares: Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Most true it is that I have look'd on truth And therefore take this compact of a truce, You're servant to the Count Orsino, youth. She gave me for my pains a world of sighs: They only now come but to feast thine eyes. CCCLIV - "CALLTHINEWHENT" Consent to pay thee that I never had! Ay, and we are betroth'd: nay, more, our, Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad? Let it be so! thy truth then be thy dower! Thanks, you the valiant of this warlike isle, He that shall live this day, and see old age, In others' works thou dost but mend the style, Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Weeping again the king my father's wreck, How grounded he his title to the crown, Each in his office ready at thy beck. Not for Cadwallader and all his goats. The king hath many marching in his coats. CCCLV - "HOUFROMYOUTHCO" He solemnly had sworn, that what he spoke Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents, Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. From son to son, some four or five descents Richard the second here was hack'd to death; Of thy assault: if he shall think it fit, May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath. You wrong me more, sir, in denying it: Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase, Unto a view so false will not incline; The pain be mine, but thine shall be the praise. Here's my glove: give me another of thine. Come, come, you answer with an idle tongue. O spite! too old to be engaged to young. CCCLVI - "NVERTESTHEREIN" Not by might master'd but by special grace: Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Remember whom you are to cope withal; Till he be dieted to my request, Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: So is the time that keeps you as my chest, The one doth call her his, the other his, He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, I laugh'd him out of patience; and that night Never make known what you have seen to-night. CCCLVII - "LIVESWISDOMBEA" Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse It is determined, not concluded yet: Visit the speechless sick and still converse Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Were jocund, and supposed their state was sure, It must appear in other ways than words, Show you, which shall be yours in private. Your Deservedly confined into this rock, O momentary grace of mortal men, Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, But to be frank, and give it thee again. Else had she with her father rang'd along. And pity 'tis you lived at odds so long. CCCLVIII - "UTYANDINCREASE" Until it wither with me to my grave That others touch, and often touching will Yet hath he been my captive and my slave, Are punish'd with. The King must take it ill No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Doth want example: who hath read or heard I lose myself: better I were not yours No, my good lord; but Pluto sends you word, Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: Remove your siege from my unyielding heart; Endue you with the people's voice: remains And all is semblative a woman's part. Speak out thy sorrows which thou bring'st in haste, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. CCCLIX - "WITHOUTTHISFOL" Why, there's for thee, and there, and there. Are all If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trash Thou wall, O wall, O sweet and lovely wall, Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash, O cunning, how I got it!--nay, some marks Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: The skies are painted with unnumber'd sparks, To an unsettled fancy cure thy brains, Here you shall see a countryman of yours I would not be so sick though for his place: So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Laughest thou, wretch? thy mirth shall turn to moan. CCCLX - "LYAGEANDCOLDDE" Love keeps his revels where they are but twain; You have me, rich; and I will never fail And make, no doubt, us happy by his reign. Great is his comfort in this earthly vale, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Allow not nature more than nature needs, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? Can trip me, if I err; who with wet cheeks O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts; Let your best love draw to that point, which seeks Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. CCCLXI - "CAYIFALLWEREMI" Come, come, in wooing sorrow let's be brief, As far as I could ken thy chalky cliffs, You hold too heinous a respect of grief. I am so far already in your gifts,-- For I must tell you friendly in your ear: And all the peers and nobles of the realm Lie hid moe thousand deaths: yet death we fear, Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, Wave thus, to express his disposition, Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Remember so weak a composition. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Methinks they should invite them without knives; I know when one is dead, and when one lives. CCCLXII - "NDEDSOTHETIMES" Now is it manhood, wisdom and defence, Discredit more in hiding of the fault Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Duke of Alencon, this was your default, Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: Or overthrow incurable ensues. The princess comes to hunt here in the park, Here are your sons again; and I must lose Either his gracious promise, which you might, This act is as an ancient tale new told, I pray thee, leave me to myself to-night, May you a better feast never behold, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Shall outstrike thought: but thought will do't, I feel. CCCLXIII - "SHOULDCEASEAND" Salutes each other with each other's form; He hears naught privately that comes from Troy. Or take his life there: this if she perform, Under her other was the tender boy, Lord Angelo hath to the public ear Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear. Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows And I will have you and that fault withal; See how my wretched sister sobs and weeps. Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, And all her husbandry doth lie on heaps, Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Dial is now upon the prick of noon. CCCLXIV - "THREESCOREYEAR" The names of those their nobles that lie dead: Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, She sinketh down, still hanging by his neck, Cooling his hot face in the chastest tears One that rejoices in the common wreck, Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway, Each way and move. I take my leave of you: Young York he is but boot, because both they Engenders the black toad and adder blue, As, painfully to pore upon a book Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. CCCLXV - "WOULDMAKETHEWO" Where, for a monument upon thy bones, Or in the night, imagining some fear, Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Let it be known to him that we are here. Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds My worthy arch and patron, comes to-night. And, in possession, twenty thousand crowns. Know him in us, that here hold up his right. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; That, like the sun, did make beholders wink? Have broken with the king; who hath so far Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, Of egal justice, used in such contempt? CCCLXVI - "RLDAWAYLETTHOS" Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. Let life be short; else shame will be too long. Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats A man of complements, whom right and wrong What hath befall'n of them and thee till now. Ask me what question thou canst possible, Yea the illiterate, that know not how Like her! O Isis! 'tis impossible. Engaging and redeeming of himself The action of good women: there is hope That caused a lesser villain than myself, His coming hither hath no further scope Or forced examples, 'gainst her own content, She is not well. Convey her to my tent. CCCLXVII - "EWHOMNATUREHAT" Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, Which writ his honour in the acts it did, Hang on her temples like a golden fleece; Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid? Measured to look upon you; whom he loves-- Nay, in all confidence, he's not for Rhodes. And yet not so; since I am sure my love's Than I can wish to adders, spiders, toads, Upon mine hostess there: good sir, make haste. Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. How easy is a bush supposed a bear! A saint-like sorrow: no fault could you make, That will not trust thee but for profit's sake? CCCLXVIII - "HNOTMADEFORSTO" Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Never so needful on the earth of France, On some apparent danger seen in him The fringed curtains of thine eye advance Make known to you why I have done this. Come, And convoy is assistant, do not sleep, Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Edward and York; then haply she will weep: For what he has he gives, what thinks he shows; Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; Those that much covet are with gain so fond, Of forfeiture, of justice and his bond. CCCLXIX - "REHARSHFEATURE" Revel the night, rob, murder, and commit Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Her help she sees, but help she cannot get; And in my conduct shall your ladies come; Receives the scroll without or yea or no, So many years ere I shall shear the fleece: Her heavy anthem still concludes in woe, For men so old as we to keep the peace. Esteem him as a lamb, being compared After him, fellows; bring him to the block. The king doth smile at; and is well prepared Unto a ragged fearful-hanging rock Roses of shadow, since his rose is true? Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. CCCLXX - "LESSANDRUDEBAR" Lysander if you live, good sir, awake. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Save thieves, and cares, and troubled minds, that wake. So far from variation or quick change? Amongst his subjects and his loyal friends, Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' Rather than so, come fate into the list. Unless thou wert more loyal than thou art: Dispatch! The room where they supp'd is too hot; Each one demand an answer to his part But fear the main intendment of the Scot, A leaner action rend us. What's amiss, Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? CCCLXXI - "RENLYPERISHLOO" Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Even like a man new haled from the rack, Now, youthful Troilus, do not these high strains Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, You may my glories and my state depose, Poor and content is rich and rich enough, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, I do remember in this shepherd boy So was I bid report here to the state He hears naught privately that comes from Troy. Look ye draw home enough, and 'tis there straight. Or whether gasted by the noise I made, Of that which hath so faithfully been paid. CCCLXXII - "KWHOMSHEBESTEN" Kneel'd at my feet, and bade me be advised When it is barr'd the aidance of the tongue. Her cheeks with chaps and wrinkles were disguised; O spite! too old to be engaged to young. My army but a weak and sickly guard; Some stay to see him fasten'd in the earth. He bends her fingers, holds her pulses hard, Ever to conquer, and to have his worth But longer did we not retain much hope; Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, That I had any light from thee of this. Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays? CCCLXXIII - "DOWDSHEGAVETHE" Dear life redeems you. You perceive she stirs: Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? Were full as lovely as is this of hers: Do execution on my flesh and blood. Say, she shall be a high and mighty queen. Ha! durst the traitor breathe out so proud words? Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds. As if some mermaid did their ears entice, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice There is a vice that most I do abhor, Hath a great scene: the image of the jest Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. CCCLXXIV - "MOREWHICHBOUNT" Men so disorder'd, so debosh'd, and bold Of his own body he was ill, and gave Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! What, what, ye sanguine, shallow-hearted boys! Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, I saw their weapons drawn: there was a noise, Come then, and take the last warmth of my lips. He will be found like Brutus, like himself. But, with the first of all your chief affairs, O mistress, mistress, shift and save yourself! Upon his face an ocean of salt tears, Not I, my lord; sith true nobility That proof is call'd impossibility. CCCLXXV - "EOUSGIFTTHOUSH" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Once more let me behold it: is it that Upon Good-Friday and ne'er broke his fast: Say now, whose suit is he arrested at? God, for thy mercy! they are loose again. I must be brief, lest resolution drop Fixing it only here; should I, damn'd then, Though standing naked on a mountain top, There's something in me that reproves my fault; Here is my hand; the premises observed, O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. Upon his peril, that I have reserved So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, How far that little candle throws his beams! CCCLXXVI - "OULDSTINBOUNTY" One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Unto his several mistress, which they'll know Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Drop in my neck: as it determines, so She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, True, madam, none at all: what call you this? I like this fair proceeding of the King's. No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. But she is arm'd for him and keeps her guard Or you stol'n his? or both? Pray, what's the news? Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard: Not I, believe me: you have dancing shoes The book of his good acts, whence men have read You are a saucy boy: is't so, indeed? CCCLXXVII - "CHERISHSHECARV" Charge him too coldly. Tell him, you are sure He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Exposing what is mortal and unsure Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: I would we had a thousand Roman dames Scorn and defiance; slight regard, contempt, His grandam's wrongs, and not his mother's shames, So thrive I in my dangerous attempt His valour, coin and people, in the wars? Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Call it by what you will, the day is yours; Ay me! the bark peel'd from the lofty pine, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. CCCLXXVIII - "EDTHEEFORHERSE" Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Did call my father, was I know not where That slew the Sophy and a Persian prince He's a lamb indeed, that baes like a bear. Either of king or council, when you went Entreat her not the worse in that I pray From all direction, purpose, course, intent: Out of thy sleep. What is it thou didst say? Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Her dowry wealthy, and of worthy birth; Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, Since I am crept in favour with myself, Else would he never so demean himself. CCCLXXIX - "ALANDMEANTTHER" As to take up mine honour's pawn, then stoop: Let grief and sorrow still embrace his heart And at her heels a huge infectious troop No, sir, she shall not, though you take her part. Dry up in her the organs of increase; My foolish rival, that her father likes Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Arm, arm, my name! a puny subject strikes Not Gaunt's rebukes, nor England's private wrongs, The Count Rousillon: know you such a one? To things of sale a seller's praise belongs, Has done no more than other knights have done; Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! CCCLXXX - "EBYTHOUSHOULDS" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Brother, she is not worth what she doth cost You must forsake this room, and go with us: Thou mayst co-join with something; and thou dost, His body couched in a curious bed, Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Until the golden circuit on my head, Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains His promises fly so beyond his state O, in a tomb where never scandal slept, Upon her wit doth earthly honour wait, Laugh'd in his face; and when with grief he wept, Does he rake this together! Now, my lords, Such pity as my rapier's point affords. CCCLXXXI - "TPRINTMORENOTL" That is as clear from this attaint of mine Play on the lute, beholding the towns burn: Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, I never spake bad word, nor did ill turn No; for he could not so resign his crown That stout Pendragon in his litter sick My gay apparel for an almsman's gown, Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, End in one purpose, and be all well borne Nay, if thou be that princely eagle's bird, O, well-a-day, that ever I was born! Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north Let us pursue him ere the writs go forth. CCCLXXXII - "ETTHATCOPYDIEW" Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, That grew the more by reaping: his delights To cast thee up again. What may this mean High dukes, great princes, barons, lords and knights, A plague upon the tyrant that I serve! Therein, ye gods, you make the weak most strong; Come, enter with us. Ladies, you deserve O master, master I have watch'd so long Parts from this finger, then parts life from hence: Your exposition on the holy text Didst not thou share? hadst thou not fifteen pence? Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Who calls me villain? breaks my pate across? CCCLXXXIII - "HENIDOCOUNTTHE" Have lost the wager. Boldness be my friend! Each present lord began to promise aid, Nature's bequest gives nothing but doth lend, I had as lief have my mistress a jade. Did never sonnet for her sake compile, Or with some dram conjured to this effect, Come, good Lorenzo. Fare ye well awhile: Or rather say, the cause of this defect, Undo that prayer, by crying out as loud, No, Caesar, we will answer on their charge. Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud; The circumstance I'll tell you more at large. He with her plenty press'd, she faint with dearth England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. CCCLXXXIV - "CLOCKTHATTELLS" Could trammel up the consequence, and catch Let them obey that know not how to rule; Out of his subject; and we here dispatch Come, come, no longer will I be a fool, Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? To know for what he comes, and whence he comes, Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! The King your father is dispos'd to sleep. This is the matter:--Nurse, give leave awhile, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Let frantic Talbot triumph for a while Landlord of England art thou now, not king: So sore as keeping safe Nerissa's ring. CCCLXXXV - "THETIMEANDSEET" Thou art a fool to bid me farewell twice. His naked armour of still-slaughter'd lust, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice To lay so dangerous and dear a trust It is a reeling world, indeed, my lord; More upon humour than advised respect. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; And draw within the compass of suspect Nor by a hired knife; but that self hand, Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. Should have an army for an usher, and Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, To carry into Flanders the great seal. CCCLXXXVI - "HEBRAVEDAYSUNK" Hoyday, a riddle! neither good nor bad! Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Blush that the world goes well, who rather had, Receives the scroll without or yea or no, Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Do no more offices of life to't than An't had been a green hair, I should have laughed You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? Should so profane the word, that taught me craft Unto the lodging where I first did swoon? No. madam, he does nothing but smile: your Keeps good old York there with his men of war? CCCLXXXVII - "INHIDEOUSNIGHT" It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, No public benefit which you receive He is gone happy, and has left me rich: I knew her by this jewel on her sleeve. Do not cry havoc, where you should but hunt Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt, Upon the moment did her force subdue, See justice done on Aaron, that damn'd Moor, Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. In iron walls they deem'd me not secure; God pardon them that are the cause of it! He said it would be thus- poor banish'd man! Therefore accept such kindness as I can. CCCLXXXVIII - "WHENIBEHOLDTHE" What bloody man is that? He can report, He will the rather do it when he sees Except some petty towns of no import: Nay, it will please him well, Kate it shall please I could not send it,--here it is again,-- Braving compare, disdainfully did sting Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Here's Beaufort, that regards nor God nor king, Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,-- Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' To the ambassadors of England gives His goods confiscate to the duke's dispose, Except it be to pray against thy foes. CCCLXXXIX - "VIOLETPASTPRIM" Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts. Of their white flags display'd, they bring us peace, Lightens my humour with his merry jests. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Tremble and start at wagging of a straw, Part of your cares you give me with your crown. And much too little of that good I saw Shall keep us both the safer: where we are, The more that Henry was unfortunate. Purpose return. Why hast thou gone so far, Resolve on this, thou shalt be fortunate, It is great sin to swear unto a sin, My best endeavours shall be done herein. CCCXC - "EANDSABLECURLS" Exist, and be a member of his love And is it true that I must go from Troy? No more than I am well acquitted of. Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; And that she has discharged: what thou wouldst do By day, by night, waking and in my dreams, Like stars ashamed of day, themselves withdrew; Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Come, I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs; Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Lies my consent and fair according voice. Speak, Queen of Goths, dost thou applaud my choice? CCCXCI - "ALLSILVERDOERW" A poor unmanly melancholy sprung Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host, Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Spare England, for it is your native coast; I play the torturer, by small and small Love is your master, for he masters you: Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, Ride, ride, Messala: let them all come down. Dim register and notary of shame! Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Envy your great deservings and good name, Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Whose fall the mark of his ambition is. CCCXCII - "ITHWHITEWHENLO" In Oxfordshire shalt muster up thy friends. The book of his good acts, whence men have read His crest that prouder than blue Iris bends. With nimble soles: I have a soul of lead How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, Is all the policy, strength and defence, These tidings would call forth their flowing tides. Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Where it seems best unto your royal self. Her honour is an essence that's not seen; England is safe, if true within itself? Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen. Light wenches may prove plagues to men forsworn; O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! CCCXCIII - "FTYTREESISEEBA" For in the book of Numbers is it writ, Their harness studded all with gold and pearl. Your victuals: come, there is sauce for it. This foolish, dreaming, superstitious girl Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make So did the merciless and pitchy night I give a sparing limit to my tongue. Speak to the people, and they pity her. Each jealous of the other, as the stung Either to die the death or to abjure Both young and old, one with another, Ford; And for that purpose I'll anoint my sword. CCCXCIV - "RRENOFLEAVESWH" Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Redeeming time when men think least I will. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Now He that made me knows I see thee ill; Or I would see his heart out, ere the priest For I am almost ready to dissolve, Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve And doth deserve a coronet of gold. Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Say how he died, for I will hear it all. Without the bed her other fair hand was, He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause. CCCXCV - "ICHERSTFROMHEA" If thou wilt curse, thy father, that poor rag, Clarence and Gloucester, love my lovely queen; Have done thy charm, thou hateful wither'd hag! Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Say ay, and be the captain of us all: There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas For selfsame wind that I should speak withal Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore Off with his head, and set it on York gates; My charms I'll break, their senses I'll restore, How like you this wild counsel, mighty states? Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Are my discourses dull? barren my wit? CCCXCVI - "TDIDCANOPYTHEH" Thy hand is but a finger to my fist, Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? If she had not a spirit to resist. Despite of death that lives upon my grave, Cool shadow to his melting buttock lent: And wild amazement hurries up and down Not prizing her poor infant's discontent; Of whom so often I have heard renown, Presenteth them unto the gazing moon You may my glories and my state depose, The breese upon her, like a cow in June, Here feelingly she weeps Troy's painted woes: Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Hath been between this lady and this lord. CCCXCVII - "ERDANDSUMMERSG" Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Does not divide the Sunday from the week. And brass eternal slave to mortal rage; Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Doth any name particular belong Such childish humour from weak minds proceeds: Under yond yew-trees lay thee all along, Myself and divers gentlemen beside Must murder wives much better than themselves Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. CCCXCVIII - "REENALLGIRDEDU" Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Nay, look not big, nor stamp, nor stare, nor fret; And Humphrey with the peers be fall'n at jars: Lo, by thy side where Rape and Murder stands; Let those who are in favour with their stars Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands. If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote, Receive my tears and seem to weep with me; Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat Endure the winter's cold as well as he: Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? Unworthy brother, and unworthy sons! CCCXCIX - "PINSHEAVESBORN" Put him to choler straight: he hath been used I'll tent him to the quick. If he but blench, Nothing more dear to me. You are abused So, rushing in the bowels of the French, Hear'st thou the news abroad, who are arrived? Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. And welcome, welcome! die where thou hast lived: Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross But at this instant he is sick my lord, O insupportable and touching loss! Run to my study. By and by! God's will, Now is a time to storm; why art thou still? CD - "EONTHEBIERWITH" English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Of those fair suns set in her mistress' sky, No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die. His soldiers lurking in the towns about, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. But thy unkindness shall his death draw out In the vile prison of afflicted breath. Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, Whence cometh this alarum and the noise? I slew him not; but to my own disgrace Thou canst not, love, disgrace me half so ill, Hear me but speak, and bear me where you will. CDI - "WHITEANDBRISTL" Was ever known so great and little loss Hath to it circumstantial branches, which If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, The world affords no law to make thee rich; Either be gone before the watch be set, And spend your rich opinion for the name Nay, look not big, nor stamp, nor stare, nor fret; Dim register and notary of shame! By thine own tongue thou art condemn'd, and must Receiving nought by elements so slow It shall appear that your demands are just, Shaking their scratch'd ears, bleeding as they go. To smile at scapes and perils overblown. Likely in time to bless a regal throne. CDII - "YBEARDTHENOFTH" Yea, curse his better angel from his side, But to relieve them of their heavy load; Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. A thievish living on the common road? Rotten opinion, who hath writ me down Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! Thy now unsured assurance to the crown, Have some unhappy passenger in chase. Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: No, when my father York and Edward wept, Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept The self-same gods that arm'd the Queen of Troy Have the disease, and feel't not. How now, boy! CDIII - "YBEAUTYDOIQUES" Your loving uncle, twenty times his worth, Be patient, Princes; you do know these fits Either for life or death, upon the earth All swoln with chafing, down Adonis sits, Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings: Yet nature might have made me as these are, Descended of so many royal kings. O, vile! then, as she goes, what upward lies Is partly to behold my lady's face; Quick-shifting antics, ugly in her eyes: Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Ere such another Julius. Britain is Smiles at her news, while Warwick frowns at his. CDIV - "TIONMAKETHATTH" To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list! If he see aught in you that makes him like, Our archers shall be placed in the midst Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Make rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits. As if some mermaid did their ears entice, Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice To hover on the dreadful shore of Styx? However faulty, yet should find respect And in such indexes, although small pricks The things we are for that which we expect; Thou dost make possible things not so held, How many of you have mine eyes beheld! CDV - "OUAMONGTHEWAST" Our puissance into the hand of God, Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; And that the Earl of Surrey, with the rod. Most subject is the fattest soil to weeds; Of hostile arms! myself myself confound! No, by my honour, madam, by my soul, Giving myself a voluntary wound This might have been prevented and made whole His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Where I will write. All may be well enough. And that your Grace hath screen'd and stood between Sure, these are but imaginary wiles Take you your instrument, play you the whiles! CDVI - "ESOFTIMEMUSTGO" Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Seek you to seize and gripe into your hands Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich Forsake unsounded deeps to dance on sands. Thy hand is made to grasp a palmer's staff, I would not spare my brother in this case, My discretion so weakly. Will you laugh Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Mine eyes are full of tears, my heart of grief. Using those thoughts which should indeed have died Stands not within the prospect of belief, Thus is the shepherd beaten from thy side, Go cheerfully together and digest. Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest. CDVII - "SINCESWEETSAND" Since you are strangers and come here by chance, Is very snow-broth; one who never feels Never went with his forces into France Compell'd these skipping kerns to trust their heels, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Some monstrous malefactor. Prithee, friend, With kissing him I should have kill'd him first; Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Ere I could make thee open thy white hand That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud She is content to be at your command; And, of so great a favour growing proud, No point, quoth I; my servant straight was mute. Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? CDVIII - "BEAUTIESDOTHEM" Both in your form and nobleness of mind; Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind: Upon a homely object Love can wink. To him that bears the strong offence's cross. If I do not usurp myself, I am. Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, Did march three Frenchmen. Yet, forgive me, God, Of greater time than I shall show to be. The third time; I hope good luck lies in odd High emperor, upon my feeble knee Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring More than with parting from my lord the king. CDIX - "SELVESFORSAKEA" Soft! see how busily she turns the leaves! Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Lusty and like to live: the queen receives Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Each part in me that were but sensible: Semblably furnish'd like the king himself. For we no longer are defensible. Of virtue was she; yea, and she herself. Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: Since she is living, let the time run on All's well now, sweeting; come away to bed. Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Each day still better other's happiness; And that be heir to his unhappiness! CDX - "NDDIEASFASTAST" No more than were I painted I would wish Debts wither 'em to nothing; be men like Dumain transform'd! four woodcocks in a dish! I have not sought the day of this dislike. Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. And have no other reason for this wrong Sweet huntsman, Bassianus 'tis we mean-- For then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long, After so long grief, such festivity! Since that my case is past the help of law. To set him free from his captivity. And, to begin, wench,--so God help me, la!-- Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! To make a stale of me amongst these mates? CDXI - "HEYSEEOTHERSGR" How covert matters may be best disclosed, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, You had not show'd them how ye were disposed So like you, sir, ambassadors from Rome; Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Entreat her not the worse in that I pray O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit They bear the mandate; they must sweep my way He has his health and ampler strength indeed Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. So mighty and so many my defects, Gentle thou art and therefore to be won, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. CDXII - "OWANDNOTHINGGA" Out of my lean and low ability Why, this hath not a finger's dignity: Awake, awake, English nobility! Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. Dispark'd my parks and fell'd my forest woods, No deeper wrinkles yet? hath sorrow struck One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck, He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, Is now most still, most secret, and most grave, Nor to the motion of a schoolboy's tongue, Go, base intruder! overweening slave! Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: Agrees not with the leanness of his purse. CDXIII - "INSTTIMESSCYTH" It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth So to enforce or qualify the laws That I must yield my body to the earth The interruption of their churlish drums I like you, lads; about your business straight; Man here to school. Look, where his master comes; Eternal numbers to outlive long date. See what I do deliver out to each, Such dreadful heralds to astonish us. Came pouring, like the tide into a breach, You never spoke what did become you less They have been violent to me and mine. Here's my glove: give me another of thine. CDXIV - "ECANMAKEDEFENC" Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Cousin of York, we institute your grace As you shall well be satisfied withal. Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place, More than the instant army we can make, As did that one; and that, in my regard, Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Free from these slanders and this open shame! Each one demand an answer to his part Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their course Courageously to pluck him from his horse. CDXV - "ESAVEBREEDTOBR" Even in the presence of the crowned king. Should 'scape the true acquaintance of mine ear. Are yours, my lord: I give them with this ring; Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Ever to conquer, and to have his worth By Him that raised me to this careful height Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Drest in a little brief authority, The care I had and have of subjects' good Oh, he is young and his minority But to himself so secret and so close, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. CDXVI - "AVEHIMWHENHETA" Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: He was as calm as virtue--he began I am not in the roll of common men. Must gently be preserved, cherish'd, and kept: What shall I do to win my lord again? He cried almost to roaring; and he wept Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Now where is he that will not stay so long How often have I tempted Suffolk's tongue, Else had she with her father rang'd along. To things of sale a seller's praise belongs, And swear unto my soul to right your wrongs. CDXVII - "KESTHEEHENCEOT" Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Subject, makes old hearts fresh: they that went on The small'st opinion on my least misuse? How I convey my shame out of thine eyes Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Hold unbewail'd their way. Welcome to Rome; Exposing what is mortal and unsure Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, Come hither, man. I see that thou art poor: Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Than stand uncover'd to the vulgar groom. CDXVIII - "HATYOUWEREYOUR" Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice As if it had been sow'd. Yet still it's strange To be new-varnish'd! Well, but to my choice: You must forget to be a woman; change Of both your armies; whose equality Unto a dunghill which shall be thy grave, Which swims against your stream of quality. Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Yields up his life unto a world of odds: O hard-believing love, how strange it seems Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! CDXIX - "SELFBUTLOVEYOU" See, ruthless queen, a hapless father's tears: Even for this let us divided live, Leaves Tarsus and again embarks. He swears Flinty mankind; whose eyes do never give By the fool multitude, that choose by show, Uproar the universal peace, confound Therefore, good mother,--I must can you so-- Like to a bowl upon a subtle ground, Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars Visit the speechless sick and still converse Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Your treatise makes me like you worse and worse. Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,-- Unless thou couldst return to make amends? CDXX - "ARENOLONGERYOU" As though she bid me stay by her a week; Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Never, O never, do his ghost the wrong O God! that one might read the book of fate, Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. O, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Gave me my being and my father first, Enough, captain: you have astonished him. Return and tell him so: we know the worst. Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, Of estimation and command in arms. Upon my body with their hellish charms? CDXXI - "RSTHANYOUYOURS" Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Save when command to your dismission tends, The time invites you. Go, your servants tend. Hear me, my masters, and my common friends,-- Arm, arm, my name! a puny subject strikes No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. Your naked infants spitted upon pikes, Or else my heart, concealing it, will break; Uproar the universal peace, confound Yet I not doing this, the fool had borne Of this escape and whither they are bound; Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, Sir, pardon; 'tis for Agamemnon's ears. CDXXII - "ELFHERELIVEAGA" Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word For exile hath more terror in his look, Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Let Pericles believe his daughter's dead, Impatient answers from my gentle tongue? Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Each jealous of the other, as the stung And nobleness impose: at least thus much: Give me the paper; let me read the same; Although thou hast been conduct of my shame. CDXXIII - "INSTTHISCOMING" Is worse in kings than beggars. My dear lord! Nor pluck it from his finger, for the wealth So should my shame still rest upon record, To see her noble lord restor'd to health, To suffer all alike. That he should dream, Here are a few of the unpleasant'st words Into the channel, till the lowest stream Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Come, come; for thou shalt thrust thy hand as deep One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; Music, ho! music, such as charmeth sleep! If thou delight to view thy heinous deeds, No matter then although my foot did stand Good morrow, fairest: sister, your sweet hand. CDXXIV - "ENDYOUSHOULDPR" Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Devis'd a new commission; wrote it fair. Yet, know thou, since we have begun to strike, Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Until her husband and my lord's return: Sir Valentine, your father's in good health: His going I could frame to serve my turn, O, then I see that madmen have no ears. Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; Lopped branches, which, being dead many years, Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Please you, deliberate a day or two. Reverend youth; and I praise God for you. CDXXV - "EPAREANDYOURSW" Either to die the death or to abjure Pies; mace; dates?--none, that's out of my note; And dead almost, my liege, to think you were- Ready to catch each other by the throat, Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; And for your love to her lead apes in hell. Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place, Did young Lorenzo swear he loved her well, You have received your griefs; nor are they such O, now you look like Hubert! all this while Unless I flatter with myself too much. Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Swear that he shall, and then I will begin. Would I be guilty of so deep a sin. CDXXVI - "EETSEMBLANCETO" Except thou wilt except against my love. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; That you to-day promised to tell me of? Sail like my pinnace to these golden shores. Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Many a groaning throe. Thus hulling in By heaven, brat, I'll plague ye for that word. Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! Nay, mock not, mock not. The body of your Come not thou near me; and when that time comes, Exposing what is mortal and unsure To number Ave-Maries on his beads; O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! CDXXVII - "SOMEOTHERGIVES" Stigmatical in making, worse in mind. O hard-believing love, how strange it seems Master's whistle. Blow, till thou burst thy wind, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Of noble having and of royal hope, The hope thereof makes Clifford mourn in steel. His coming hither hath no further scope Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Richer than that which four successive kings God shall forgive you Coeur-de-lion's death If thou do this, I'll show thee wondrous things, Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, So seems this gorgeous beauty to mine eyes. CDXXVIII - "OSHOULDTHATBEA" Of all his people and freeze up their zeal, Scarce had the sun dried up the dewy morn, Held me in chase, that I was forced to wheel O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! Unless a brother should a brother dare Let's take the instant by the forward top; Doth choke the air with dust: in, and prepare: That in the ocean seeks another drop, Harmless Lucretia, marking what he tells As if he pluck'd up kisses by the roots That you shall say my cunning drift excels. Being once perfected how to grant suits, Either to die the death or to abjure And all of them that thus dishonour her. CDXXIX - "UTYWHICHYOUHOL" Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: The place which I have feasted, does it now, Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. Were but my trials of thy love and thou Hang mournful epitaphs and do all rites It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Clap on more sails; pursue; up with your fights: Hath to it circumstantial branches, which You press me far, and therefore I will yield. Of woman in me: now from head to foot Upon the left hand of the even field. How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? O, now you look like Hubert! all this while Love, lend me patience to forbear awhile. CDXXX - "DINLEASEFINDNO" Do in his name religiously demand If this division chance, ne'er stood between, No matter then although my foot did stand Lord Warwick, on thy shoulder will I lean; Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. And your great-uncle's, Edward the Black Prince, See what I do deliver out to each, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, For what you see is but the smallest part I am a soldier, and unapt to weep, No, no, it cannot be; and yet my heart Distinguish him from others, he did keep Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, Or seem so craftily; and that's not good. CDXXXI - "DETERMINATIONT" Do you not hope your children shall be kings, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Therefore no more of it: hear other things. Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Reward did threaten and encourage him, Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, If thou, that bid'st me be content, wert grim, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. And drive his purpose on to these delights. Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. It is the worst, and all, my lord, he writes. O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, Now do you know the reason of this haste. To season love, that of it doth not taste! CDXXXII - "HENYOUWEREYOUR" His father revell'd in the heart of France, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. Or, having sworn too hard a keeping oath, Upon his party for the gain thereof: When I have said, make answer to us both. Exist, and be a member of his love Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. You would have thought the very windows spake, Offer their own lives in their young's defence? Upon my target three fair-shining suns. Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! CDXXXIII - "SELFAGAINAFTER" Such as she says my lord did say I was. Either consent to pay this sum for me Let me have time and counsel for my cause: Forgiveness, horse! why do I rail on thee, As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts; God bless my ladies! are they all in love, And dispossessing all my other parts It is an honour that I dream not of. Nor would your noble mother for much more And often at his very loose decides From a resolved and honourable war, The current that with gentle murmur glides, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. CDXXXIV - "YOURSELFSDECEA" Your visitation shall receive such thanks Of time, of numbers and due course of things, Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks Richer than that which four successive kings Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed? Each one demand an answer to his part Let fair humanity abhor the deed For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart Smother'd in errors, feeble, shallow, weak, Did seem defensible. So you left him. Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Came for additions; yet their purposed trim Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Ancient, conduct them: you best know the place. CDXXXV - "SEWHENYOURSWEE" She should have bought her dignities so dear. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Who hath a story ready for your ear. Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Now will I charge you in the band of truth, You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth; Unpeg the basket on the house's top, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Say that I linger'd with you at your shop Why dost thou look so sadly on my son? Except mine own name: that some whirlwind bear Else would I very shortly see thee there. CDXXXVI - "TISSUEYOURSWEE" To shrink mine arm up like a wither'd shrub; Into a cloven pine; within which rift Shall blow each dust, each straw, each little rub, Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? Unto a view so false will not incline; Else had she with her father rang'd along. Your pens to lances, and your tongue divine O, coward that I am, to live so long, Up once again; put spirit in the French: Revenge it, as you love your mother's life, So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench Where noble fellows strike: war is no strife Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. CDXXXVII - "TFORMSHOULDBEA" The self-same gods that arm'd the Queen of Troy For he hath still been tried a holy man. Or sells eternity to get a toy? Reprove my allegation, if you can; Married to your good service, stay till death: Spare England, for it is your native coast; He came in thunder; his celestial breath O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf! Lousy, pragging knave, Pistol, which you and Did gage them both in an unjust behalf, Business, my lord! I think most understand Empale him with your weapons round about; And mine shall ring thy dire departure out. CDXXXVIII - "RWHOLETSSOFAIR" Repair'd with double riches of content. Wont, through a secret grate of iron bars His daughters seek his death. Ah, that good Kent! O, sir, to such as boasting show their scars Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Even so void is your false heart of truth. That brings me food to make misfortune live? Says that you savour too much of your youth, Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note, Fury, Fury! there, Tyrant, there! hark! hark! As thy eye-beams, when their fresh rays have smote I have been troubled in my sleep this night, Receive thy lance; and God defend the right! CDXXXIX - "AHOUSEFALLTODE" Ay, noble uncle, thus ignobly used, He does it under name of perfect love; O, that a lady, of one man refused. Upon his party for the gain thereof: She is not bred so dull but she can learn; Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, From whence he intercepted did return As nail in door. The things I speak are just. Look to thy bark: I'll not be long before Lending him wit that to bad debtors lends: The hearts of all that he did angle for; Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, Each in his office ready at thy beck. CDXL - "CAYWHICHHUSBAN" Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, Ay, to the proof, as mountains are for winds, Yet come again; for thou perhaps mayst move Which alters when it alteration finds, Her dowry shall weigh equal with a queen: Is plagued with cramps and gouts and painful fits; Could not take truce with the unruly spleen His sorrows have so overwhelm'd his wits, Here's a good world the while! Why who's so gross, Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Sky-planted batters all rebelling coasts? Bid them achieve me and then sell my bones. Already at a point, was setting forth. No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. CDXLI - "DRYINHONOURMIG" During whose reign the Percies of the north, Reprove my allegation, if you can; Your honour has through Ephesus pour'd forth I could have better spared a better man: Nor should thy prowess want praise and esteem, How much thou wrong'st me, heaven be my judge. Or I am mad, or else this is a dream: Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge One sorrow never comes but brings an heir, Urging the worser sense for vantage still; Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, My tongue, though not my heart, shall have his will. I am so angry at these abject terms; Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. CDXLII - "HTUPHOLDAGAINS" He would quickly have the gift of a grave. To creep in at mine eyes. Well, let it be. Upon my party! Thou cold-blooded slave, Proclamation, and he rails upon me. How unremovable and fix'd he is Oh, he is young and his minority Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Drest in a little brief authority, As gentle tell me, of what honour was Go; speak not to me; even now be gone. And therefore little shall I grace my cause In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Nor never did my actions yet commence Some blessed power deliver us from hence! CDXLIII - "TTHESTORMYGUST" The goodness of the night upon you, friends! The Duke be here to-night? The better! best! His crest that prouder than blue Iris bends. Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. So, get thee gone; good night Ate eyes do itch; To one so meek, that mine own servant should Of celebration of that nuptial which Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! You are not ignorant, all-telling fame Give it an understanding but no tongue. Unless thou take that honour from thy name: So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. That Charles the Dauphin may encounter them. CDXLIV - "SOFWINTERSDAYA" She is importunate, indeed distract. Outcast of Naples, England's bloody scourge! Few love to hear the sins they love to act; We will make fast within a hallow'd verge. Is all too heavy to admit much talk. No, my good lord; but Pluto sends you word, Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish Spurn at his edict and fulfil a man's? Dumain transform'd! four woodcocks in a dish! And little look'd for at your helping hands. Yet can I not of such tame patience boast And do some service to Duke Humphrey's ghost. CDXLV - "NDBARRENRAGEOF" Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Did not attend him as we rode? I think Being the time the potion's force should cease. Away the performance: therefore, much drink Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Each changing place with that which goes before, No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Return, return, and make thy love amends. And he my husband best of all affects. Give me some music. Now, good morrow, friends. Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects O heavens, can you hear a good man groan, For no name fits thy nature but thy own! CDXLVI - "DEATHSETERNALC" Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; And with the same to act controlling laws. Though their injunction be to bar my doors He gives the bastinado with his tongue: She's apt to learn, and thankful for good turns. Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. That shall distil from these two ancient urns, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Remember so weak a composition.

CDXLVII - "OLDONONEBUTUNT" O thou well skill'd in curses, stay awhile, Let Henry fret and all the world repine. Deep, hollow, treacherous, and full of guile, Of your own state take care: this dream of mine,-- Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Or dive into the bottom of the deep, No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Be not found here; hence, with your little ones. Unscissor'd shall this hair of mine remain, Ten thousand bloody crowns of mothers' sons Upon his honour'd finger, to attain Nor none so bad, but it may well be told. Thou shalt not be the worse for me: there's gold. CDXLVIII - "HRIFTSDEARMYLO" Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Repair hither and say you are not fit. If it be you that stirs these daughters' hearts For that's the golden mark I seek to hit: The king and his companions: warily She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, Doomsday is near; die all, die merrily. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange And mock you with me after I am gone. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. My life I never held but as a pawn Your brother- no, no brother; yet the son- Let's levy men, and beat him back again. Or that or any place that harbours men. CDXLIX - "VEYOUKNOWYOUHA" Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. You have enscheduled briefly in your hands. Or else he never would compare between. Under yond yew-trees lay thee all along, Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild; Never, O never, do his ghost the wrong Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild; We'll forward towards Warwick and his mates; You do it for increase: O strange excuse, Off with his head, and set it on York gates; Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, His mother shames him so, poor boy, he weeps. And they that watch see time how slow it creeps. CDL - "DAFATHERLETYOU" Deep, hollow, treacherous, and full of guile, And then is heard no more: it is a tale For though usurpers sway the rule awhile, As from a mountain-spring that feeds a dale, These people saw the chain about his neck. His lands to me, and took it on his death Each in his office ready at thy beck. Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Lay'st thou thy leaden mace upon my boy, Even like a man new haled from the rack, That if it would but apprehend some joy, Your grace shall pardon me, I will not back: Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. CDLI - "RSONSAYSONOTFR" Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Stands in attainder of eternal shame: O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? So be thy fortune in this royal fight! And he shall signify from time to time You shall not be admitted to his sight. Since, spite of him, I'll live in this poor rhyme, Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Nathaniel's coat, sir, was not fully made, Of whom so often I have heard renown, Than hath been taught by any of my trade; From all the impure blots and stains thereof; Refuse not, mighty lord, this proffer'd love. CDLII - "OMTHESTARSDOIM" O cruel, irreligious piety! More thirst for drink than she for this good turn. That makes thee strangle thy propriety: How like the prodigal doth she return, Exceed account; but the full sum of me Strangely neglected? when did he regard That's for thyself to breed another thee, At unawares may beat down Edward's guard Reply not in how many fathoms deep So are those crisped snaky golden locks Draws the sweet infant breath of gentle sleep; O, will you eat no grapes, my royal fox? I love not less, though less the show appear: Madam, depart at pleasure; leave us here. CDLIII - "YJUDGMENTPLUCK" Yea, strike the Dauphin blind to look on us. Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow, Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess. Doth grace for grace and love for love allow; Graves only be men's works and death their gain! Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Perchance some single vantages you took. Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Under an osier growing by a brook, Cousin, farewell: no further go in this Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. CDLIV - "ANDYETMETHINKS" Although my last: no matter, since I feel No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Your honour has through Ephesus pour'd forth Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Till after many accents and delays, My lord, no leave take I; for I will ride, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Here comes the holy legate of the pope.

I had Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. And now loud-howling wolves arouse the jades Something unfilial: reason my son That Photinus an eunuch and your maids Return'd my letter back. Then all alone O boy, thy father gave thee life too soon, Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone, Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon My hope is gone, now Suffolk is deceased. You know there wants no junkets at the feast. CDLVI - "BUTNOTTOTELLOF" Bewray'd the faintness of my master's heart. Upon a homely object Love can wink.

CDLVII - "GOODOREVILLUCK" Go thou to Friar Penker; bid them both Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. Did he so often lodge in open field, O, could this kiss be printed in thy hand, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Every man shift for all the rest, and Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. In summer, where the ways are fair enough: Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff Under these windows, white and azure laced Cuckold's horns. Master Brook, thou shalt know I Keep the wild flood confin'd! Let order die! CDLVIII - "OFPLAGUESOFDEA" O, let me stay, befall what may befall! From thine own sister's shame? What should I think? Philip of France, if thou be pleased withal, Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! And venture madly on a desperate mart. Give me your hand first. Fare you well, my lord. Unless thou wert more loyal than thou art: Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; So that from point to point now have you heard O monstrous, monstrous! and so falls it out For do but note a wild and wanton herd, Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Edward and Clarence. O, what cause have I, As long as you or I. yet he must die. CDLIX - "RTHSORSEASONSQ" Rely upon it till my tale be heard, That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, He dies, we lose; I break my warlike word; Strike in their numb'd and mortified bare arms Of that proud man that did usurp his back? Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Sent your worship a morning's draught of sack. Empale him with your weapons round about; As much as may be yielded to a man: Sir, I did never win of you before. Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan Nay, mock not, mock not. The body of your Such as she says my lord did say I was. Quite to forget this quarrel and the cause. CDLX - "UALITYNORCANIF" Unto the climate that they point upon. Approved warriors, and my faithful friends, Lies crafty-sick. The posts come tiring on, I speak no more than what my soul intends; That robs thee of thy goodness! If thou dost Youngling, learn thou to make some meaner choice: Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; Out, and alas! that was my lady's voice. Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back: And were they to be ruled, and not to rule, Nor customary suits of solemn black, If thou do pardon, whosoever pray, For this will out, and here I must not stay. CDLXI - "ORTUNETOBRIEFM" O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, Rescue those breathing lives to die in beds, To monarchize, be fear'd and kill with looks, Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads? Now will I dam up this thy yawning mouth Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. Of this discourse we more will hear anon. But, by your leave, it never yet did hurt Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert; Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks For he tonight shall lie with Mistress Ford. My dear-loved cousin, and my dearer lord? CDLXII - "INUTESTELLPOIN" I think this upstart is old Talbot's ghost, Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. This fever, that hath troubled me so long, Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Such as the daughter of Agenor had, That you affect; and so must you resolve, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Let them set on at once; for I perceive Look in the calendar, and bring me word. Playing the place which did no form receive, Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. CDLXIII - "TINGTOEACHHIST" The swords of soldiers are his teeth, his fangs; In fellest manner execute your aims. No, no; he cannot long hold out these pangs.

And throw the rider headlong in the lists, Can bring him to his sweet up-locked treasure, He's but a sot, as I am, nor hath not Hear ye, captain, are you not at leisure? I have convey'd aboard; and I have bought So then the Volsces stand but as at first, The danger formerly by me rehearsed. CDLXIV - "HUNDERRAINANDW" He gave his honours to the world again, Under an oak, whose boughs were moss'd with age, Not to the beast that would usurp their den. Doth much excuse the appertaining rage Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Remuneration for the thing it was; Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, And Hastings as he favours Edward's cause! If something thou wilt swear to be believed, No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there. And thou with all pleased, that hast all achieved! No, not so much perdition as an hair Disdaining duty that to us belongs. With tears drawn from her eyes by your foul wrongs. CDLXV - "INDORSAYWITHPR" It is thy business that I go about. Nearer in bloody thoughts, but not in blood, Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? Reply not in how many fathoms deep Say that I wish he never find more cause And sing while thou on pressed flowers dost sleep; Yet so he ruled and such a prince he was When nature brought him to the door of death? It is the lesser blot, modesty finds, This kingdom, this confine of blood and breath, He swung about his head and cut the winds, Play on the lute, beholding the towns burn: Rather than make unprofited return. CDLXVI - "INCESIFITSHALL" It is war's prize to take all vantages; No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff. Change shapes with Proteus for advantages, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Study to break it and not break my troth. If you were born to honour, show it now; For me, that I may surely keep mine oath, It is the purpose that makes strong the vow; That hath enrag'd him on to offer strokes, Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge: How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? And that would set my teeth nothing on edge, Love give me strength! and strength shall help afford. Lysander! what, removed? Lysander! lord!

I hourly learn Proclaim a pardon to the soldiers fled Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. CDLXVIII - "DICTTHATIINHEA" Did all the chivalry of England move In the end of autumn turned to the rams, Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, To revel in the entrails of my lambs. The worms were hallow'd that did breed the silk; He dreamt to-night the boar had razed his helm: And curd, like eager droppings into milk, To slay your sovereign and destroy the realm. If friend or foe, let him be gently used. In God's name, cheerly on, courageous friends, Nothing more dear to me. You are abused Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Ere you can take due orders for a priest: And flaky darkness breaks within the east. CDLXIX - "VENFINDBUTFROM" Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Nor let the rain of heaven wet this place, Follow me, then. Lord Helicane, a word. I must not hear thee; fare thee well, kind maid; Not knowing them until we know their grave: Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid But I'll unto his majesty, and crave Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape, From whom my absence was not six months old Rome will despise her for this foul escape. Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, More thirst for drink than she for this good turn. CDLXX - "THINEEYESMYKNO" Thy face is mine, and thou hast slander'd it.

Even or odd, of all days in the year, Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Made prize and purchase of his lustful eye, You will not do't for all the world, I hope. Knocks go and come; God's vassals drop and die; Not mutinous in peace, yet bold in war; Out of my sight, and never see me more! CDLXXI - "WLEDGEIDERIVEA" With worms that are thy chamber-maids; O, here Lest child, child's children, cry against you woe! Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Deliver what you will; I'll say 'tis so. Get goal for goal of youth. Behold this man; Else shall you not have any hand at all Is it no more to be your daughter than Did to his predecessors part withal. Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; I've hope to live, and am prepared to die. Virtue he had, deserving to command: Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange And she will speak most bitterly and strange.

Now am I seated as my soul delights, Thy rage sham burn thee up, and thou shalt turn Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights: The greatness he has got. I hourly learn And this fell tempest shall not cease to rage Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! CDLXXIII - "SINTHEMIREADSU" Should the approach of this wild river break, Is sweet. Nay, you shall fight your hearts out ere Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, This dismal cry rings sadly in her ear, He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught Embowell'd will I see thee by and by: Many a time hath banish'd Norfolk fought I have a brother is condemn'd to die: Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, And fought so long, till that his thighs with darts Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike Should lose their names, and so should justice too. Upon the parting of your wives and you. CDLXXIV - "CHARTASTRUTHAN" Coffer, chest, trunk, well, vault, but he hath an Here where his daughter dwells; and on this coast As much as may be yielded to a man: Receiving them from such a worthless post. To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails, And overcome us like a summer's cloud, She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails, That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Uncle, what shall we say to this in law? Than that which dearest father bears his son How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, And sits as one new risen from a dream. Name her not now, sir; she's a deadly theme. CDLXXV - "DBEAUTYSHALLTO" Doubt and suspect, alas, are placed too late: Better forbear till Proteus make return. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Ay; you did wish that I would make her turn: Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, You said the enemy would not come down, See, they encounter thee with their hearts' thanks. Hail to you, provost! so I think you are. And you, Achilles, let these threats alone, Look up a-height. The shrill-gorg'd lark so far Laughest thou, wretch? thy mirth shall turn to moan. That the probation bear no hinge nor loop O, this is it that makes your servants droop! CDLXXVI - "GETHERTHRIVEIF" Good night to your redress! Is the duke gone? Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. The pin-buttock, the quatch-buttock, the brawn He lessens his requests; and to thee sues Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Return'd my letter back. Then all alone That I were couching with the doctor's clerk. Have I not reason to prefer mine own? Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! If I to-day die not with Frenchmen's rage, Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Either thou art most ignorant by age, I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, Fear not thy sons; they shall do well enough. CDLXXVII - "FROMTHYSELFTOS" From any other foul unlawful touch Remove your siege from my unyielding heart; Of all the gentry; for the most part such My will to her consent is but a part; To match us in comparisons with dirt, He shall not breathe infection in this air You less know how to value her desert Such thoughts and such, or I could make him swear Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Let us into the city presently Find fairer fortune, if you ever wed! Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Or (not to crack the wind of the poor phrase, Shall in procession sing her endless praise. CDLXXVIII - "TORETHOUWOULDS" To make me give the lie to my true sight, O Cleopatra! thou art taken, queen: Receive thy lance; and God defend the right! Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Then my digression is so vile, so base, His valour, coin and people, in the wars? Of the most pious Edward with such grace Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; Wherever we shall meet, for Timon's sake, On a dissension of a doit, break out Upon my party, I'ld revolt to make Look on her, mark her well; be but about Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. Shall be the war that Henry means to use. CDLXXIX - "TCONVERTORELSE" They know their master loves to be aloft, Come in, come in: I'll go get a fire. O, yes; and went between us very oft. Not till it leave the rider in the mire. Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, Thick-sighted, barren, lean and lacking juice, Or who should study to prefer a peace. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Left there round turrets destitute and pale. Shall ne'er look back, ne'er ebb to humble love, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. CDLXXX - "OFTHEETHISIPRO" O perjured woman! They are both forsworn: From forth the noise and rumour of the field, This man, with lanthorn, dog, and bush of thorn, He shall submit, or I will never yield. Establish him in his true sense again, England is safe, if true within itself? The itch of his affection should not then His wish'd ability, he had himself In all his dressings, characts, titles, forms, Some ditch wherein to die; the foul'st best fits It is the bloody business which informs Pardon him, sweet Timandra; for his wits Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow O you immortal gods! I will not go. CDLXXXI - "GNOSTICATETHYE" Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Of that report which I so oft have heard. Shall more obey than to the edge of steel That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: I spake unto this crown as having sense, Call by thy trumpet. He that dares approach, And husband nature's riches from expense; There was a pretty redness in his lip, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: That he may bless this bay with his tall ship, His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France. You cry against the noble senate, who, Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. CDLXXXII - "NDISTRUTHSANDB" No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth So far be distant; and, good night, sweet friend: Though he divide the realm and give thee half, Rather than have that savage duke thine heir Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf! These mouths, who but of late, earth, sea, and air, He should receive his punishment in thanks: So, get thee gone; good night Ate eyes do itch; And shrive you of a thousand idle pranks. No less in pity than his glory which Do not, in grant of all demands at large, But from Lord Angelo by special charge. CDLXXXIII - "EAUTYSDOOMANDD" Except a sword or sceptre balance it: And if I were thy nurse, thy tongue to teach, Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; The moist impediments unto my speech, Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels, So near the cradle of the fairy queen? Death on the wheel or at wild horses' heels, Of the great count himself, she is too mean Or like an idle thresher with a flail, Metheglin, wort, and malmsey: well run, dice! All hurt behind; backs red, and faces pale Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Dumain was at my service, and his sword: Doth not the object cheer your heart, my lord? CDLXXXIV - "ATEWHENICONSID" A torch for me: let wantons light of heart To see her noble lord restor'd to health, Each one demand an answer to his part With an invisible and subtle stealth Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give England ne'er had a king until his time. No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. In the division of each several crime, Creep in 'twixt vows and change decrees of kings, O thou fond many, with what loud applause No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws I writ to's holiness. Nay then, farewell! Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well. CDLXXXV - "EREVERYTHINGTH" Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Each one demand an answer to his part Visit the speechless sick and still converse Either for life or death, upon the earth Regard me as I do not flatter, and Your son and daughter found this trespass worth This is a man's invention, and his hand. He's follow'd both with body and with mind; It seem'd they would debate with angry swords. Nay, then he should be blind; and, being blind Give signal to the fight, and to it, lords! Taken as seen; for Pompey's name strikes more He doth again repeat, and that they swore. CDLXXXVI - "ATGROWSHOLDSIN" Are those that often have 'gainst Pompey fought: That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke Give me your favour: my dull brain was wrought Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: One that made means to come by what he hath, Who marks the waxing tide grow wave by wave, Sorrow were ever razed and testy wrath He would quickly have the gift of a grave. O, answer not, but to my closet bring Lady, you know no rules of charity, Disclaiming here the kindred of the king, Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, In simple and low things to prince it much No glory lives behind the back of such. CDLXXXVII - "PERFECTIONBUTA" Poor queen! how love to me and to her son Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. France, hast thou yet more blood to cast away? Either thou art most ignorant by age, Come, come, and sit you down. You shall not budge; That one for all, or all for one we gage; In this I'll be impartial; be you judge Of Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, nor of Kent, Now for the counsel of my son and queen! But by your setting on, by your consent? Under your good correction, I have seen, Three great oaths would scarce make that be believed. And thou with all pleased, that hast all achieved! CDLXXXVIII - "LITTLEMOMENTTH" Lead to the Sagittary the raised search; I well might hear, delivered with a groan, Tabour, if thy tabour stand by the church. To smile at scapes and perils overblown. Let us come in, that we may bind him fast Either thou art most ignorant by age, My child? away with't! Even thou, that hast Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Myself in my incertain grounds to fail Else with the like I had requited him. No vast obscurity or misty vale, That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive How many years a mortal man may live. CDLXXXIX - "ATTHISHUGESTAG" Although, my lord, I know my noble aunt There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good The eldest son and heir of John of Gaunt, Hang 'em, slaves! I do not think the knight would I'll have an Iris that shall find thee out. Serve God, love me and mend. There will I leave His looks I fear, and his intents I doubt. Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath: Else had she with her father rang'd along. Since he himself is reft from her by death: That my steel'd sense or changes right or wrong. And Regan with him. Have you nothing said Grandmother: this proves that thou canst not read. CDXC - "EPRESENTETHNOU" Else had she with her father rang'd along. Please you to interpose, fair madam: kneel Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, So under his insulting falchion lies England and France might, through their amity, Need and oppression starveth in thine eyes, To bear the tidings of calamity. Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, To see thy noble uncle thus distract? Hath drawn him from his own determined aid, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. O woe! O woful, woful, woful day! Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay! CDXCI - "GHTBUTSHOWSWHE" Good for their meat, and safer for their lives. His lady banish'd, and a limb lopp'd off. To the ambassadors of England gives By heaven, all dry-beaten with pure scoff! Upon their ancient malice will forget There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. So doth the cony struggle in the net. Here's a good world! Knew you of this fair work? O, is it so? But why commands the king What, must I hold a candle to my shames? See where she comes, apparell'd like the spring, When we were happy we had other names. Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan, Enough to purchase what you have made known. CDXCII - "REONTHESTARSIN" Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; O lady, weep no more, lest I give cause Nothing that I respect, my gracious lord. Till that the nature of your fault be known He hath not money for these Irish wars, Each man apart, all single and alone, Should lift their bosoms higher than the shores The woman falls; sure, he hath kill'd his wife. Against the laws and statutes of this town, Revenge it, as you love your mother's life, She is a theme of honour and renown, It is the lark that sings so out of tune, Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. CDXCIII - "SECRETINFLUENC" Spurn at his edict and fulfil a man's? Empale him with your weapons round about; Caesar, thou canst not die by traitors' hands, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Thou art a fool to bid me farewell twice. I'll put a girdle round about the earth Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, For, I presume, brave Hector would not lose Let Henry fret and all the world repine. Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Cannot be seen or heard. Do but look up. CDXCIV - "ECOMMENTWHENIP" Exposing what is mortal and unsure Clapp'd on the outward eye of fickle France, O, she is rich in beauty, only poor, More than a wild exposture to each chance My dearest lord, bless'd, to be most accursed, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Nay, let it rest where it began at first. That no supporter but the huge firm earth Winchester goose, I cry, a rope! a rope! He doth me wrong to feed me with delays. England did never owe so sweet a hope, Not shall we need his help these fourteen days. I see these witches are afraid of swords. Poor we may call them in their native lords. CDXCV - "ERCEIVETHATMEN" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Charging the sour-faced groom to hie as fast Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; I see a yielding in the looks of France; Verona, for a while I take my leave, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: This gallant pins the wenches on his sleeve; His love, perceiving how he is enraged, And with a great heart heave away the storm: Than honesty to honesty engaged, Makes me look dismal will I clip to form; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Now, mistress, profit you in what you read? CDXCVI - "ASPLANTSINCREA" All three of them are desperate: their great guilt, Strike, fellows, strike; this is the man I seek. Pardon me, wife.

Except thou wilt except against my love. Even or odd, of all days in the year, Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Dead? or asleep? I see no blood, no wound. A cloak as long as thine will serve the turn?

Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Behold her that gave aim to all thy oaths, Your nobles will not hear you, but are gone Thrice hath this Hotspur, Mars in swathling clothes, His honesty rewards him in itself; Else would he never so demean himself. CDXCIX - "SELFSAMESKYVAU" Scaling his present bearing with his past, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: Fearing some hard news from the warlike band, She hath not seen the change of fourteen years, And must we be divided? must we part? Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Sir, you say well, and well you do conceive; King Cerberus; and let the welkin roar. You bade me ban, and will you bid me leave? Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? And send the hearers weeping to their beds: Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads?

DI - "FULSAPATHEIGHT" Fly, to revenge my death when I am dead: Unto a view so false will not incline; Let the bloat King tempt you again to bed; So many blows upon this face of mine, All yet seems well; and if it end so meet, Places: your hearts are mighty, your skins are And vaulted with such ease into his seat, That two such noble peers as ye should jar! His faults lie open to the laws; let them, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. I saw't this morning: confident I am Go, take it up unto thy master's use.

Not what you are, I know it will excuse Did then adhere, and yet you would make both: Were I a common laugher, or did use Either for life or death, upon the earth Although not valued to the money's worth. DIII - "RTHEIRBRAVESTA" Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? That, as the star moves not but in his sphere, He'll make demand of her, and spend that kiss Ely with Richmond troubles me more near I here discard my sickness! Soul of Rome! Revives two greater in the heirs of life; Be emptied to redeem a traitor home? Richard, thy wife, that wretched Anne thy wife, And heavy ignorance aloft to fly Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Either to get the town again or die: Seek out King John and fall before his feet; That rots itself in ease on Lethe wharf, Alas, this is a child, a silly dwarf!

DV - "HENTHECONCEITO" Here stood he in the dark, his sharp sword out, England and France might, through their amity, No masque to-night: the wind is come about; To bear the tidings of calamity.

To revenge is no valour, but to bear. Of whom you seem to have so tender care? DVI - "FTHISINCONSTAN" Fie, uncle Beaufort! I have heard you preach Turning past evils to advantages. His folly to the mettle of my speech? It is war's prize to take all vantages; Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws I am not I, if there be such an I; Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Comes all too late, yet let the traitor die; Observe how Antony becomes his flaw, Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, Soft; by and by. Let me the curtains draw. To raise a mutiny betwixt yourselves: And kiss your princely nephew, brothers both. Now in his life, against your holy oath? DVII - "TSTAYSETSYOUMO" To conjure tears up in a poor maid's eyes She hath been then more fear'd than harm'd, my liege; The noble Earl of Suffolk also lies. All preparation for a bloody siege You have, my lord: would it might please your grace, Since that the truest issue of thy throne Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; To whom my father is not all unknown, She was in love, and he she loved proved mad You will not do't for all the world, I hope. O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! Upon your stubborn usage of the pope; More than a wild exposture to each chance Of all his wars within the realm of France?

Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves In such a business give me leave to use Could best express how slow his soul sail'd on, His present and your pains we thank you for: If lost, why then a grievous labour won; Now good or bad, 'tis but the chance of war. Your sharpest deeds of malice on this town: Once more adieu! my father at the road Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown, To throw away the dearest thing he owed, Hamlet return'd shall know you are come home. Be so dishonour'd in the court of Rome. DIX - "EFOREMYSIGHTWH" Empties itself, as doth an inland brook For they their guilt with weeping will unfold, O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange My lord, where are you? what devise you on? You must forget to be a woman; change She is a woman, therefore to be won. If grace had bless'd thee with a fairer life. Good angels guard thee from the boar's annoy! Happily met, my lady and my wife!

DX - "EREWASTEFULTIM" Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. Roused on the sudden from their drowsy beds, Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. With rounds of waxen tapers on their heads, And go in peace, Humphrey, no less beloved Scaling his present bearing with his past, To eat those little darlings whom they loved. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. For, I presume, brave Hector would not lose Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy gift, Lend me the letter; let me see what news. To cross my friend in his intended drift In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Madam, my lord is gone, for ever gone. DXI - "EDEBATETHWITHD" Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Dispersed those vapours that offended us; Employ'd you where high profits might come home, But my true love is grown to such excess And I,--like one lost in a thorny wood, The presentation of but what I was; Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Thou dost not wish more help from England, coz? Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. With baleful weeds and precious-juiced flowers. I hope this reason stands for my excuse. To ruinate proud buildings with thy hours, His goods confiscate to the duke's dispose, Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. DXII - "ECAYTOCHANGEYO" Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; And spotless shall mine innocence arise, Your salt tears' head: now to all sense 'tis gross The gods revenge it upon me and mine, Or like a gallant horse fall'n in first rank, Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine, How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! And in such indexes, although small pricks Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. Good sir, no more! These are unsightly tricks. Ever to conquer, and to have his worth You have received your griefs; nor are they such O, speak no more, for I have heard too much. DXIII - "URDAYOFYOUTHTO" Upon enforcement flies with greatest speed, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed.

DXIV - "SULLIEDNIGHTAN" Shook down my mellow hangings, nay, my leaves, Upon the wild sea banks and waft her love Lusty and like to live: the queen receives Let King Cophetua know the truth thereof. I would not wed her for a mine of gold. Eating the air and promise of supply, Dear, trouble not yourself: the morn is cold. Now his important blood will nought deny In ranks and squadrons and right form of war, Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift, How now, Signior Launce! what news with your The other, that he do record a gift, And this worm-eaten hold of ragged stone, No matter, sir, what I have heard or known. DXV - "DALLINWARWITHT" Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid And I will stoop and humble my intents Let in that amity which you have made; Liege of all loiterers and malcontents, I dare do all that may become a man; Now mark him, he begins again to speak. Would I were young for your sake, Mistress Anne! And that we find the slothful watch but weak, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Will in his brinish bowels swallow him. I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give; They come like sacrifices in their trim, His time of folly and his time of sport; To spoil the city and your royal court. DXVI - "IMEFORLOVEOFYO" In faith, I gave it to the judge's clerk: May they not be my oracles as well, Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. For so I will. Mine eyes grow dim. Farewell, O, pardon me, my lord; it oft falls out, Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Look on her, mark her well; be but about O spite! too old to be engaged to young.

Yet have I heard,--O, could I find it now!-- Of your profession? Speak, what trade art thou? DXVII - "UASHETAKESFROM" Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale. Should many people, under two commands, He came too late, the ship was under sail: End in one purpose, and be all well borne To visit other places; and come down As, to behold desert a beggar born, Kneel down before him, hang upon his gown: Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, For this one night; which, part of it, I'll waste Receiving them from such a worthless post. O, fie upon them! Some such squire he was My rightful hand in a well-hallow'd cause. DXVIII - "YOUIENGRAFTYOU" You holy clergymen, is there no plot Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves Uneven is the course, I like it not. I will advise you where to plant yourselves; Except some petty towns of no import: Now, neighbour confines, purge you of your scum. Go, call before me all the lords in court. Richard Plantagenet, my lord, will come: Although, my lord, I know my noble aunt Forward, I pray, since we have come so far, Then Warwick disannuls great John of Gaunt, You might have been enough the man you are, Of that occasion that shall bring it on. Unto the climate that they point upon. DXIX - "NEWBUTWHEREFOR" Not to break peace, or any branch of it, Else one self mate and mate could not beget Whose party do the townsmen yet admit? But for because he hath not woo'd me yet: Upon his royal face there is no note The sweets we wish for turn to loathed sours Who in despite of view is pleased to dote; He held me last night at least nine hours Environ you, till mischief and despair Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Except mine own name: that some whirlwind bear Full of unpleasing blots and sightless stains, On whom, as in despite, the sun looks pale, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. DXX - "EDONOTYOUAMIGH" Enough to purchase what you have made known. Do you not see that I am out of breath? O, my good lord, why are you thus alone? Nobody come? then shall I bleed to death. O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! The speech, of vantage. Fare you well, my liege. You will demand of me why I do this? Ordained is to raise this tedious siege Unless to spy my shadow in the sun And the nobility of Rome are his: Made my name once more noble. Now his son, I know not, Marcus; but I know it is, Gives light in darkness, comfort in despair! Hold out my horse, and I will first be there. DXXI - "TIERWAYMAKEWAR" Till famine cling thee: if thy speech be sooth, In a sweet verbal brief, it did concern Even so void is your false heart of truth. Rather than make unprofited return. Which seem to move and wanton with her breath And both for my sake lay on me this cross: You cannot guess who caused your father's death. Musing and sighing, with your arms across, And Harry Monmouth's brawn, the hulk Sir John, Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Who in this dull and long-continued truce And touching now the point of human skill, Redeeming time when men think least I will. DXXII - "UPONTHISBLOODY" Unless the fear of death doth make me dote, Performers of this heinous, bloody deed? On such a full sea are we now afloat; Now, mistress, profit you in what you read? Those that would die or ere resist are grown He hath a kind of honour sets him off, In shape, in courage, colour, pace and bone. Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough But since correction lieth in those hands Lo, as the bark, that hath discharged her fraught, On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, Or pay you with unthankfulness in thought, Dispatch! The room where they supp'd is too hot; Yet who's so blind, but says he sees it not? DXXIII - "TYRANTTIMEANDF" Thou art not firm enough, since griefs are green; You all look strangely on me; and you most. Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen As victors of my silence cannot boast; Now must I hide his body in some hole, The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb. Then God take mercy on brave Talbot's soul; If I do not usurp myself, I am. Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff; Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Affection's edge in me, were she as rough Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, Dar'st thou support a publish'd traitor? Hence! For womanish it is to be from thence. DXXIV - "ORTIFYYOURSELF" O prudent discipline! From north to south: Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Then take my king's defiance from my mouth, I'll come by Naples. Draw thy sword: one stroke Fall'n into taint; which to believe of her Yet, for all this, say not that Percy's dead. Yet seek my father's love; still seek it, sir: O, may such purple tears be alway shed Upon his visage, and that all the walls Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff Fear not thy sons; they shall do well enough. DXXV - "INYOURDECAYWIT" Is very snow-broth; one who never feels No, misery makes sport to mock itself: Your hearts I'll stamp out with my horse's heels, Or in my cell there would she kill herself. Upon the winds command, bind them in brass, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Came from the north and thus it did import: Arm, arm, my lord;--Rome never had more cause. You shall be welcome, madam, to my court. When thou wast here above the ground, I was It was a vision fair and fortunate: The more that Henry was unfortunate. DXXVI - "HMEANSMOREBLES" Had sent to me first, but for my mind's sake; My child? away with't! Even thou, that hast Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make And at my suit, sweet, pardon what is past. Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. Should be shut up, hear what Ulysses speaks. Meantime, forget this new-fall'n dignity, O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, Remember so weak a composition. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. By'r lady, he is a good musician. Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath Either be patient, and entreat me fair, See't shalt thou never. Fellows, hold the chair. DXXVII - "SEDTHANMYBARRE" Saw'st thou him enter at the abbey here? Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Danger deviseth shifts; wit waits on fear: The mere despair of surgery, he cures, Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws And range with humble livers in content, Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, My mother is assailed in our tent, Yet let her be a principality, But if thy arms be to no other end, And death's dim look in life's mortality: Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Else had she with her father rang'd along. DXXVIII - "NRHYMENOWSTAND" No care, no stop! so senseless of expense, Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; How churlishly I chid Lucetta hence, Your eyes do make no coaches; in your tears Marking the embarked traders on the flood, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Nearer in bloody thoughts, but not in blood, Or dive into the bottom of the deep, We shall be short in our provision: See you the fornicatress be removed: The harmony of this peace. The vision Alas, the tender boy, in passion moved, Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Did make offence, his eye did heal it up. DXXIX - "YOUONTHETOPOFH" You bade me ban, and will you bid me leave? O, but I love his lady too too much, Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave Or senseless speaking or a speaking such Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? Till I be brought to such a silly pass! He and his toothpick at my worship's mess, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. This was so and no slumber. Dreams are toys: O, him she stores, to show what wealth she had Pales in the flood with men, with wives and boys, Or ere I'll weep. O fool, I shall go mad! For this relief much thanks. 'Tis bitter cold, Hold, Toby; on thy life I charge thee, hold! DXXX - "APPYHOURSANDMA" Ah, Warwick! Montague hath breathed his last; Peace, wilful boy, or I will charm your tongue. Paris, Guysors, Poictiers, are all quite lost. Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young Hath sorted out a sudden day of joy, O, you, my lord? by Mars his gauntlet, thanks! Under her other was the tender boy, Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, Shall daub her lips with her own children's blood; And oftentimes have purposed to forbid Nothing at all: it is a highwrought flood; Deserve not worse than wretched Clarence did, Must climb a bird's nest soon when it is dark: And I'll renew me in his fall. But, hark! DXXXI - "NYMAIDENGARDEN" None else of name; and of all other men Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. My wedded lord, I ne'er shall see again, And your fair princess,--goddess!--O, alas! I shall attend your leisure: but make haste; Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Nature hath meal and bran, contempt and grace. God bless thee; and put meekness in thy mind, And I by this will be a gainer too; Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Do as I bid you; shut doors after you: Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; No, good madam; I will not out of doors. DXXXII - "SYETUNSETWITHV" So do you too, where you perceive them thick. You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, Exampled by the first pace that is sick Two such controlling bounds shall you be, kings, Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style Nay, answer me. Stand and unfold yourself. Show duty, as mistaken all this while Else would he never so demean himself. The gift doth stretch itself as 'tis received, When my love swears that she is made of truth I do not greatly care to be deceived, Their bodies to the lust of English youth He doth again repeat, and that they swore. Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? DXXXIII - "IRTUOUSWISHWOU" I follow'd fast, but faster he did fly; Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, To-day shalt thou behold a subject die Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Or who should study to prefer a peace. Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; When these so noble benefits shall prove In a sweet verbal brief, it did concern She laugh'd, and told the Moor he should not choose How like the prodigal doth she return, Were I a common laugher, or did use On, Myrmidons, and cry you all amain, Unless the Lady Bona quit his pain. DXXXIV - "LDBEARYOURLIVI" Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send Beggar the estimation which you prized Each hath his place and function to attend: And will that thou henceforth attend on us. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. You'll make a mutiny among my guests! O that it were to do! What have we done? Unto the body of a dismal yew, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Look, what I will not, that I cannot do. In doing wrong extenuates not wrong, Very hardly upon such a subject. In brief, sir, study what you most affect. DXXXV - "NGFLOWERSMUCHL" Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself God's arm strike with us! 'tis a fearful odds. For Brutus only overcame himself, Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods, Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? Whether I live or die, be you the sons England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! So that this land, like an offensive wife Methinks he should the sooner pay his debts, Under whose heavy sense your brother's life Cousin of Exeter, frowns, words and threats Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both! DXXXVI - "IKERTHANYOURPA" Into the staggers and the careless lapse Knocks go and come; God's vassals drop and die; Expire before the flowers in their caps, Rivers and Dorset, you were standers by, That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud He calls me to a restitution large As mad as the vex'd sea, singing aloud, No, Caesar, we will answer on their charge. Your salt tears' head: now to all sense 'tis gross O, he is old and blushes not at death. Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Perchance, Iago, I will ne'er go home. Are rid like madmen through the gates of Rome. DXXXVII - "INTEDCOUNTERFE" Incurr'd a traitor's name; exposed myself, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; To leave the city and commit yourself Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Damsel, I'll have a bout with you again, Coral is far more red than her lips' red; Or that or any place that harbours men. Until the golden circuit on my head, Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Thou dost not wish more help from England, coz? Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Fair payment for foul words is more than due. Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. DXXXVIII - "ITSOSHOULDTHEL" I'll not be made a soft and dull-eyed fool, This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs, So long as out of limit and true rule Or hew my way out with a bloody axe. Swearing that you withhold his levied host, He gains by death that hath such means to die: Of Nature's gifts thou mayst with lilies boast, Upon the love and truth and vows which I Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods, Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, This and my food are equals; there's no odds: How he did seem to dive into their hearts Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Lord Say, Jack Cade hath sworn to have thy head. DXXXIX - "INESOFLIFETHAT" I cannot tell what you and other men Not working with the eye without the ear, Establish him in his true sense again, Seeking to hide herself, as doth the deer Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth, Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. In having known no travel in his youth. For thy three thousand ducats here is six. England is safe, if true within itself? That I, in forgery of shapes and tricks, How and which way I may bestow myself And wring the awful sceptre from his fist, To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list! DXL - "LIFEREPAIRWHIC" Long die thy happy days before thy death; Is it not well? What should you need of more? Fie, now you run this humour out of breath, Each changing place with that which goes before, Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Pitiful thrivers, in their gazing spent? As brings a thousand-fold more care to keep It shall not need; thy father hath his life. Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Why do you look so strange upon your wife? He on her belly falls, she on her back. It is not lost; but what an if it were? Come on, I say; and first begin with her. DXLI - "HTHISTIMESPENC" Had I it written, I would tear the word. To tread a measure with you on this grass. Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, It may be good: pride hath no other glass Sets down her babe and makes an swift dispatch Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly I that do bring the news made not the match. My boy shall fetch the scrivener presently. End in one purpose, and be all well borne So is it not with me as with that Muse Proves valueless: you are forsworn, forsworn; Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Confounded be thyself! Speak not, be gone. DXLII - "ILORMYPUPILPEN" I'll wrestle with you in my strength of love: Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, On any ground that I am ruler of, Rich preys make true men thieves; so do thy lips Master lieutenant, pray you, by your leave, You would have thought the very windows spake, Playing the place which did no form receive, Upon my party, I'ld revolt to make Passing these flats, are taken by the tide; I see, as in a map, the end of all. Left I the court, to see this quarrel tried. Philip of France, if thou be pleased withal, Establish him in his true sense again, None, sir; I have no pheasant, cock nor hen. DXLIII - "NEITHERININWAR" No more shall cut his master. Therefore, friends, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet I know what thorns the growing rose defends; That ever Hector and Achilles meet; Here did she fall a tear; here in this place Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, I know not how I lost him. Here I kneel: Not fearing outward force, so shall my lungs I have been closely shrouded in this bush Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues: We'll put the matter to the present push.- As, if it can, I will presume in you-- Roses of shadow, since his rose is true? DXLIV - "DWORTHNOROUTWA" Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? Whose height commands as subject all the vale, Or have we eaten on the insane root Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. That have by marriage made thy daughter mine, Hath made thee hard in't. Why shouldst thou hate men? No, Harry, Harry, 'tis no land of thine; On yon proud man, should take it off again Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Under whose simple semblance he hath fed This accident is not unlike my dream: What nearer debt in all humanity And yet not fall; so light is vanity. DXLV - "RDFAIRCANMAKEY" Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Doth add more grief to too much of mine own. Farewell, proud Rome; till Lucius come again, And not to us, but to thy arm alone, If she sustain him and his hundred knights, Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Clap on more sails; pursue; up with your fights: And pray God's blessing into thy attempt: Not painted with the crimson spots of blood. My lords of England, let me tell you this: Although she lave them hourly in the flood. Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. Extremity still urgeth such extremes. You came not of one mother then, it seems. DXLVI - "OULIVEYOURSELF" Of all the kingdom. Many more there are; Under his own vine, what he plants; and sing Like to a dismal clangour heard from far, I had forgot myself; am I not king? Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less You have enscheduled briefly in your hands. Of this great sport together, as you guess? Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; Return, return, and make thy love amends. Speak softly, or the loss of those great towns Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Lucretia's glove, wherein her needle sticks: For thy three thousand ducats here is six. DXLVII - "INEYESOFMENTOG" I do beseech you, as in way of taste, Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Yet what of thee thy poet doth invent Each changing place with that which goes before, Salutes each other with each other's form; Or with the clamorous report of war For yet ere supper-time must I perform Merrily, merrily shall I live now England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Needs must I under my transgression bow, The mistress which I serve quickens what's dead Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, Go I to make the French lay down their arms. DXLVIII - "IVEAWAYYOURSEL" In wholesome counsel to his unstaid youth? Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Even so void is your false heart of truth. As you are now, for you are cold and stem; Why should poor beauty indirectly seek And I will speak, that so my heart may burst. Yet hear me, countrymen; yet hear me speak. You know your own degrees; sit down: at first Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan Upon a tawny front: his captain's heart, Rescue thy mistress, if thou be a man. Swear me, Kate, like a lady as thou art, Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Look to't, think on't, I do not use to jest. DXLIX - "FKEEPSYOURSELF" From his soft bosom never to remove, Kate, eat apace. And now, my honey love, Effect it with some care, that he may prove Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Priam, why art thou old and yet not wise? So am I now: O no, that cannot be; Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. Of her own clime, complexion, and degree, Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; Richer than that which four successive kings She'll be a soldier too, she'll to the wars. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Like fragments in hard voyages, became Fellow, what miracle dost thou proclaim? DL - "STILLANDYOUMUS" She would to each one sip. You are retired, The circumstance I'll tell you more at large. I would his troubles likewise were expired, Limit each leader to his several charge, Love's stories written in love's richest book. Answer no more, for thou shalt be my queen. Nay, do not fright us with an angry look; Dish of some three-pence; your honours have seen You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Much will be seen in that. In the mean time, Until four hundred one and twenty years Sir, pardon; 'tis for Agamemnon's ears. DLI - "TLIVEDRAWNBYYO" That they are not the first of fortune's slaves, Look, whom she best endow'd she gave the more; Into the madness wherein now he raves, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time. Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! And beauty making beautiful old rhyme With rounds of waxen tapers on their heads, Never so much as in a thought unborn By bloody hands, in sleeping on your beds! You, madam, for you are more nobly born, Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, One day he gives us diamonds, next day stones. DLII - "UROWNSWEETSKIL" Upon so soft a subject as myself! Richer than that which four successive kings O, pardon, that I name them! Your high self, Which ever in the haunch of winter sings Not to a rage. Patience and sorrow strove Shall be the war that Henry means to use. Who will not change a raven for a dove? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, To this unworthy husband of his wife; So his unhallow'd haste her words delays, Kneeling before this ruin of sweet life, If of my freedom 'tis the main part, take Lysander if you live, good sir, awake. DLIII - "LWHOWILLBELIEV" Lucius, I'll fit thee; and withal, my boy, Well-a-day, we could scarce help ourselves. Hector, by this, is arming him in Troy; Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood! I know repentant tears ensue the deed, Leap in with me into this angry flood, Look here, and at thy sovereign leisure read By which the world's best garden be achieved, England we love; and for that England's sake Lives in the English court, and is received If of my freedom 'tis the main part, take Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. DLIV - "EMYVERSEINTIME" Exampled by the first pace that is sick My noble girls! Ah, women, women, look, Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. She treads the path that she untreads again; Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. I know they are stuff'd with protestations Never can blab, nor know not what we mean. Turn all to the best! These proclamations, It is his highness' pleasure that the queen Made senseless things begin to do them wrong; Else had she with her father rang'd along. DLV - "TOCOMEIFITWERE" To be her mistress' mistress! the queen's queen! Or I am mad, or else this is a dream: Cutting a smaller hair than may be seen, Of such possessions, and so high esteem, My life I never held but as a pawn Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, I do beseech you, whither is he gone? Forbear to sleep the nights, and fast the days; I would not my unhoused free condition Thy brother Marcus tenders on thy lips: Wave thus, to express his disposition, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Rather, lost more. And by this hand I swear, Else would I very shortly see thee there. DLVI - "FILLDWITHYOURM" France should have torn and rent my very heart, It shall do well. But yet do I believe Let them have scope: though what they do impart Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused With those gross taunts I often have endured. I never heard a passion so confused, The ills that were not, grew to faults assured He solemnly had sworn, that what he spoke You have in that forsworn the use of eyes One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs; Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; My sword should shed hot blood, mine eyes no tears. DLVII - "OSTHIGHDESERTS" On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! So seems this gorgeous beauty to mine eyes. The daughter of a king, my drops of tears He must, he is, he cannot but be wise: Is as the very centre of the earth, Go, Captain, from me greet the Danish king. He that helps him take all my outward worth. Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Sweet Isabel, do yet but kneel by me; Each man apart, all single and alone, Read to her sons than she hath read to thee The town might fall in fright: he, swift of foot, So may a thousand actions, once afoot. DLVIII - "THOUGHYETHEAVE" That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. God's mercy, maiden! does it curd thy blood Her ashes new create another heir, Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Else would I very shortly see thee there. Though palaces and pyramids do slope He must observe their mood on whom he jests, England did never owe so sweet a hope, And I have heard it said, unbidden guests Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. DLIX - "NKNOWSITISBUTA" No doubt they rose up early to observe Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. Not my deserts, but what I will deserve: On this fair corse; and, as the custom is, With which he yoketh your rebellious necks, So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife. Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? Thou hast no husband yet nor I no wife. In argument and proof of which contract, Some certain of your brethren roar'd and ran Before I would have granted to that act. Unless he live until he be a man. The tucket sonance and the note to mount; As I all other in all worths surmount. DLX - "SATOMBWHICHHID" So shall I live to speak my father's words: A landless knight makes thee a landed squire. The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Only, good master, while we do admire My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt By testament have given to the church Within the knowledge of mine own desert, He is but one: you and my brother search If not, to hide what I have said to thee, Confine yourself but in a patient list. Here is Sir William Lucy, who with me How can she be with him? When was she missed? I thank thee for it; and heaven forbid Directly interest: mark what Jacob did. DLXI - "ESYOURLIFEANDS" Envy your great deservings and good name, Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. You are not ignorant, all-telling fame O, well-a-day, that ever I was born! Unless you can find sport in their intents, Ready to catch each other by the throat, Liege of all loiterers and malcontents, I prattle out of fashion, and I dote From treason's secret knife and traitors' rage Else had she with her father rang'd along. And thy unkindness be like crooked age, Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! Did prophesy that Richmond should be king, So sore as keeping safe Nerissa's ring. DLXII - "HOWSNOTHALFYOU" He held me last night at least nine hours Out of my lean and low ability With baleful weeds and precious-juiced flowers. Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, No, good my lord; let's fight with gentle words Or dive into the bottom of the deep, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, Ay, do, persever, counterfeit sad looks, Lords, I am hot with haste in seeking you: Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, You should not ruffle thus. What will you do? Or he his manage by the well-doing steed. Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. DLXIII - "RPARTSIFICOULD" Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! Pluck stout men's pillows from below their heads: Another, with his finger and his thumb, Rescue those breathing lives to die in beds, The very list, the very utmost bound She shall undo her credit with the Moor. I have no relish of them, but abound For we will shake him, or worse days endure. In any breast of strong authority, Came to me, as I follow'd Henry's corse, Oh, he is young and his minority Unto a lineal true-derived course. Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, Do you see this? Look on her! look! her lips! DLXIV - "WRITETHEBEAUTY" We may not think the justness of each act Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. In argument and proof of which contract, To be of such a weak and silly mind Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Then both, or one, or anything thou wilt. He took me by the wrist and held me hard; England shall double gild his treble guilt; By doing deeds of hospitality. Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: And death's dim look in life's mortality: Unto his several mistress, which they'll know Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, Yet should both ear and heart obey my tongue. DLXV - "OFYOUREYESANDI" O Mistress Ford, what have you done? You're shamed, Falsely to draw me in these vile suspects. You love my son; invention is ashamed, Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Except it be to pray against thy foes. You are too young, too happy, and too good, Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, So to enforce or qualify the laws And take your ring again; 'tis not yet won: Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Do rush upon us as their hungry prey. If any ship put out, then straight away. DLXVI - "NFRESHNUMBERSN" Never did mockers waste more idle breath. Fortune and victory sit on thy helm! Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death. Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Stoop'd as to foot us: his ascension is Here's France and Burgundy, my noble lord. Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Under the wrath of noble Hotspur's sword, My mother, and my nurse, that bears me yet! Before we hear him, of some things of weight Either be gone before the watch be set, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: She shall not sue unheard. So to them both. Now in his life, against your holy oath? DLXVII - "UMBERALLYOURGR" Unable to support this lump of clay, My will that marks thee for my earth's delight, Be calm, good wind, blow not a word away Either his gracious promise, which you might, Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains And here's thy hand, in scorn to thee sent back; Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Yet am I thankful: if my heart were great, Oppos'd against the act, bending his sword Under the canopies of costly state, Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. DLXVIII - "ACESTHEAGETOCO" Ay me! I fell; and yet do question make Caesar made here; but made not here his brag England we love; and for that England's sake Stand for your own; unwind your bloody flag; That thou expect'st not nor I look'd not for. Hath yielded up his body to the grave; Each changing place with that which goes before, And shall the same give pardon to a slave? Go thou. I'll fetch some flax and whites of eggs Ere you can take due orders for a priest: That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs. Or by what means got'st thou to be released? Chief architect and plotter of these woes: O, now be gone; more light and light it grows. DLXIX - "MEWOULDSAYTHIS" My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Where we, in all her trim, freshly beheld Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. Under an oak whose antique root peeps out Lord Angelo? they have confessed you did. Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? Away with her, and waft her hence to France. Your favours, the ambassadors of love; To take the one the other, by some chance, Have sent to thee, to receive the meed of I give to both your speeches, which were such Stand I condemn'd for pride and scorn so much? DLXX - "POETLIESSUCHHE" Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Or hateful cuckoos hatch in sparrows' nests? Except it be to pray against thy foes. To give in evidence. What then? What rests? Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, It were a better death than die with mocks, Endue you with the people's voice: remains So are those crisped snaky golden locks Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough: Upon my daughter's head! Tell me, mine own. Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough. Howl, howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stone. Hath yielded up his body to the grave; Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! DLXXI - "AVENLYTOUCHESN" As one that surfeits thinking on a want. Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Each cheek a river running from a fount Nay, good Lysander; for my sake, my dear, Lest he that is the supreme King of kings Yourself shall give us counsel. Feed, and sleep: To dry the old oak's sap and cherish springs, Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep. Upon the world dim darkness doth display, Call not your stocks for me. I serve the King; Hastings, and Edward's children, Rivers, Grey, Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Since thou dost deign to woo her little worth Nor to his service no such joy on earth. DLXXII - "EERTOUCHDEARTH" Else one self mate and mate could not beget Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Rome shall record, and when I do forget To answer mildly; for they are prepared Out, some light horsemen, and peruse their wings. Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Creep in 'twixt vows and change decrees of kings, Here's a good world the while! Why who's so gross, Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make And, after, meet you sooner than you would. Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. This news is mortal to the queen: look down Henry the Fourth by conquest got the crown. DLXXIII - "LYFACESSOSHOUL" Lead on to some foul issue: we all kneel. You would for paradise break faith, and troth; Fortune, good night; smile once more, turn thy wheel. Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth Come, good Lorenzo. Fare ye well awhile: Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Show duty, as mistaken all this while See where it comes! Behavior, what wert thou Of the most bloody nurser of his harms! Set it down. Is ink and paper ready? Honour and beauty, in the owner's arms, Of fourteen; I have known thee already. Upon the wild sea banks and waft her love Live scandalized and foully spoken of. DLXXIV - "DMYPAPERSYELLO" Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; My friends and brethren in these great affairs, Your son, my lord, has paid a soldier's debt: Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. And since, methinks, I would not grow so fast, Play on the lute, beholding the towns burn: Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Ready to go, but never to return. Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Let us address to tend on Hector's heels: Lo, whilst I waited on my tender lambs, Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? DLXXV - "WDWITHTHEIRAGE" Why then 'tis mine, if but by Warwick's gift. Die neither mother, wife, nor England's queen! With amplest entertainment: my free drift I stumbled when I saw. Full oft 'tis seen Tell me, how fares our loving mother? Here, love, thou seest how diligent I am, That Edward is escaped from your brother, He scatter'd not in ears, but grafted them, Extinguishing his conduct in this case; I am left out; for me nothing remains. Right joyous are we to behold your face, And this brave fellow too, we are the grains: God forbid any malice should prevail, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. DLXXVI - "BESCORNDLIKEOL" By strangling thee in her accursed womb Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Shall all thy mother's hopes lie in one tomb? Can cunning sin cover itself withal! On safe-guard he came to me; and did curse Revel the night, rob, murder, and commit Nor was not to be equall'd;'--thus your verse Do the part of an honest man in it. Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, In whose comparison all whites are ink, King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Look, if my gentle love be not raised up! DLXXVII - "DMENOFLESSTRUT" Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, May all the building in my fancy pluck Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: No deeper wrinkles yet? hath sorrow struck Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Forbear to sleep the nights, and fast the days; Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Stoop, then, and wash. How many ages hence Stay yet. You vile abominable tents, The Lord's anointed temple, and stole thence Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; The basin that receives your guilty blood. DLXXVIII - "HTHANTONGUEAND" How can she be with him? When was she missed? That hast deceived so many with thy vows? Have faculty by nature to subsist; And put my eyeballs in thy vaulty brows No evil lost is wail'd when it is gone. That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Now will I charge you in the band of truth, Good Lord, what madness rules in brainsick men, Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Establish him in his true sense again, And let Bianca take her sister's room. Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell, Disdainful to be tried by't: 'tis not well. DLXXIX - "YOURTRUERIGHTS" You sad Andronici, have done with woes: Observe degree, priority and place, Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Rancour will out: proud prelate, in thy face The galloping of horse: who was't came by? Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Upon the love and truth and vows which I Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Return and tell him so: we know the worst. I say she's dead; I'll swear't. If word nor oath Gave me my being and my father first, How much in duty I am bound to both. The Duke of Suffolk, William de la Pole. Shall I lay perjury upon my soul? DLXXX - "BETERMDAPOETSR" Be quite degraded, like a hedge-born swain Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, To-morrow shall we visit you again. Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; My arms such eel-skins stuff'd, my face so thin Distasted with the salt of broken tears. Are at the duke's already: you have been Past all expressing. It is very meet Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet The Turkish preparation makes for Rhodes; Say then, who dost thou mean shall be her king? Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. DLXXXI - "AGEANDSTRETCHE" As well possess'd; my love is more than his; Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Able to ravish any dull conceit: Nip not the gaudy blossoms of your love, Does he rake this together! Now, my lords, She'll none o' the count: she'll not match above Then let your will attend on their accords. Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, The firstlings of my hand. And even now, Come on, brave soldiers: doubt not of the day, He is but one: you and my brother search Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. DLXXXII - "DMETREOFANANTI" Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, My wife comes foremost; then the honour'd mould Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. To wield old partisans, in hands as old, Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Of six preceding ancestors, that gem, For nimble thought can jump both sea and land And underwrite in an observing kind Not by the title. She is young, wise, fair; And, to that dauntless temper of his mind, No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there. Takes from his high respect: thither Macduff I'll fish for thee and get thee wood enough. DLXXXIII - "QUESONGBUTWERE" Quicken'd with youthful spleen and warlike rage, Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Either thou art most ignorant by age, So mild, that Patience seem'd to scorn his woes. O God's name, see the lists and all things fit: Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Give entertainment to the might of it, By them shall make a fuller number up, Upon the dancing banners of the French, The winds and persecutions of the sky. Worse than the scaring bell, when the brown wench Either to get the town again or die: Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, England ne'er had a king until his time. DLXXXIV - "SOMECHILDOFYOU" Sent his poor queen to France, from whence she came, Or your own honour to contain the ring, My hands are of your colour; but I shame Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Chased us away; till, raising of more aid, Hear me but speak, and bear me where you will. If ever he have wife, let her he made Live you the marble-breasted tyrant still; Divides more wider than the sky and earth, O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps; For he himself is subject to his birth. Yes, as an outlaw in a castle keeps Or is the adder better than the eel Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. DLXXXV - "RSALIVETHATTIM" Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. So will I turn her virtue into pitch, And here the smug and silver Trent shall run Lies in his hamstring, and doth think it rich Inform us of thy fortunes, for it seems Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Thy word is current with him for my death, Here comes the holy legate of the pope. And feed on curds and whey, and suck the goat, To business with the King, more than the scope To-night we'll wander through the streets and note If in this blemish'd fort I make some hole More than my body's parting with my soul! DLXXXVI - "EYOUSHOULDLIVE" Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. You see this chase is hotly follow'd, friends. Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Unless thou couldst return to make amends? She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, He has no children. All my pretty ones? O Brakenbury, I have done those things, Upon my target three fair-shining suns. Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Decline your head. This kiss, if it durst speak, Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. I fight against thee! No: I will go seek Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else you may be marvellously mistook. DLXXXVII - "TWICEINITANDIN" The Britons have razed out, though with the loss Where is the Dauphin? Come, come from behind; If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, Come, come, go in with me. 'Tis with my mind England we love; and for that England's sake Is now in England, ransacking the church, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search. To follow Caesar in his triumph, since And they have troops of soldiers at their beck? Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, I did so, and went further, which is now Nor wittingly have I infringed my vow. DLXXXVIII - "MYRHYMESHALLIC" Music, ho! music, such as charmeth sleep! Your oath I will not trust; but go with speed Reply not in how many fathoms deep Have, for the gilt of France,--O guilt indeed! You never had a servant to whose trust More are men's ends mark'd than their lives before: Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Should grieve thee more than streams of foreign gore: Hector, by this, is arming him in Troy; And bow'd like bondmen, kissing Caesar's feet; Lay'st thou thy leaden mace upon my boy, Like witless antics, one another meet, I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Come, let's away. My love, give me thy lips. DLXXXIX - "OMPARETHEETOAS" O, ominous! he comes to kill my heart. May counterpoise this rich and precious gift? Please you, I'll meet with you upon the mart And yet the king not privy to my drift, Receive it friendly; but from this time forth Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Henry the Fifth he first train'd to the wars; Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Enough: my soul shall then be satisfied. The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Away, you fool! it more becomes a man Speak, nephew, were you by when it began? DXC - "UMMERSDAYTHOUA" Unto the climate that they point upon. My dearest lord, bless'd, to be most accursed, Most bitterly on you, as putter on Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Remembers me of all his gracious parts, So that this land, like an offensive wife Do we shake hands. All come to this? The hearts And all those twenty could but kill one life. You sent me for a rope's end as soon: To be so tickled, they would change their state He was but as the cuckoo is in June, O, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: Under your testy humour? By the gods And he to yours, and all of you to God's! DXCI - "RTMORELOVELYAN" Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, To stay him from the fall of vanity: More measure of this measure; be not nice. Of Timon man and all humanity! Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Let's step into the shadow of these trees. O my good lord, the world is but a word: Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Each jealous of the other, as the stung Lords, take your places; and, I pray you all, Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young And ring these fingers with thy household worms Nor I cannot woo in festival terms. DXCII - "DMORETEMPERATE" Dispark'd my parks and fell'd my forest woods, Mark how the blood of Caesar follow'd it, One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods Return those duties back as are right fit, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand The more she gives them speech. Where do you live? Every man shift for all the rest, and Mine innocency and Saint George to thrive! Plead what I will be, not what I have been; Each hath his place and function to attend: Reward to him that brings the traitor in? And thou shalt have her. Was't not to this end The fishermen that walk upon the beach Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. DXCIII - "ROUGHWINDSDOSH" Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: Or had he 'scaped, methinks we should have heard Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word His face still combating with tears and smiles, We must supplant those rough rug-headed kerns, If to come hither you have measured miles, Northumberland, say thus the king returns: Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: She would not lose it: her attendants are Did he not, contrary to form of law, O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark!

A Respeaking earthly thunder. Come away. DCXIV - "AGTHOUWANDERST" Although, my lord, I know my noble aunt Go with me, like good angels, to my end; Then Warwick disannuls great John of Gaunt, His wonders and his praises do contend O no! it is an ever-fixed mark Unlock'd the treasure of his happy state; When creeping murmur and the poring dark And still, as you are weary of the weight, Nothing so sure; and thereby all forsworn. Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats End in one purpose, and be all well borne Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets.

Our archers shall be placed in the midst This nor hurts him nor profits you a jot; If the great gods be just, they shall assist May be put from her by society: Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; That makes thee strangle thy propriety: Have broken with the king; who hath so far O perjured woman! They are both forsworn: Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads? Gone! they went hence so soon as they were born: Roused on the sudden from their drowsy beds, Of many thousand kisses the poor last With this, we charged again: but, out, alas! DCXVIII - "ESTSOLONGASMEN" Each Trojan that is master of his heart, Stay, on thy peril: I alone will go. That is too much presumption on thy part: So two, together weeping, make one woe.

DCXIX - "CANBREATHEOREY" Clip dead men's graves and from their misty jaws And not of any challenge of desert, Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, But, by your leave, it never yet did hurt Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: All which we pine for now: and this report That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. How smooth and even they do bear themselves! Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. Remember me at court; where I was taught Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. DCXX - "ESCANSEESOLONG" Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Slack the bolins there! Thou wilt not, wilt thou? Cries 'Excellent! 'tis Agamemnon just.

There she shook Inform us of thy fortunes, for it seems Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Extremity still urgeth such extremes.

Hath that poor monarch taught thee to insult? DCXXII - "ISGIVESLIFETOT" I'll pay that doctrine, or else die in debt. So there's my riddle: one that's dead is quick: Good sister, let us dine and never fret: I will not speak with him. Say I am sick. Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Except some petty towns of no import: So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, Lord, who would live turmoiled in the court, Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, For you have show'd me that which well approves Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, To let him live. Where he arrives he moves Out of my lean and low ability That proof is call'd impossibility. DCXXIII - "HEEDEVOURINGTI" Her grievance with his hearing to divide: Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Did see and hear, devise, instruct, walk, feel, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit, Unless the master were the man. How now! Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. If you should die before him, where's her dower? Now I but chide; but I should use thee worse, Get the learned writer to set down our The execution of his wit, hands, heart, I knowing all my peril, thou no art. DCXXIV - "MEBLUNTTHOUTHE" My proud heart sues, and prompts my tongue to speak. Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Bid me do any thing but that, sweet Greek. Landlord of England art thou now, not king: Under the wrath of noble Hotspur's sword, Nor tackle, sail, nor mast; the very rats Thou shalt be worshipp'd, kiss'd, loved and adored! Than some that have accused them wear their hats. His fame lives in the world, his shame in you. Or I shall break that merry sconce of yours Upon the moment did her force subdue, The mere despair of surgery, he cures, He doth fill fields with harness in the realm, Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. DCXXV - "LIONSPAWSANDMA" Let what is here contain'd relish of love, I'll tell you, sir, in private, if you please On any ground that I am ruler of, Not like a guest; so you shall pay your fees Sir Robert never holp to make this leg. Procure me music ready when he wakes, A smaller boon than this I cannot beg Witness the sorrow that their sister makes. Sir John, the Lord bless you; God prosper your And let not Bardolph's vital thread be cut None in the world: you did mistake him, sure. Did tell me of you, bade me trust you; but Made a divorce betwixt his queen and him, And learn to make a body of a limb. DCXXVI - "KETHEEARTHDEVO" Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. Empties itself, as doth an inland brook They crave to be demanded. Who is this Have suffer'd like a girl: yet thou dost look Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Either of king or council, when you went And then awake as from a pleasant sleep. Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, To vow, and swear, and superpraise my parts, However, but a folly bought with wit, Do we shake hands. All come to this? The hearts Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, O, let me stay, befall what may befall! DCXXVII - "URHEROWNSWEETB" Upon his royal face there is no note Rome shall record, and when I do forget How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Run back and bite, because he was withheld; One honest man--mistake me not--but one; Where we, in all her trim, freshly beheld Nay, but thou shalt stay too: I would my son She would applaud Andronicus' conceit: Whence honour but of danger wins a scar, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; The enemy more mighty than he seems: By so much is the wonder in extremes. DCXXVIII - "ROODPLUCKTHEKE" Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Or bring him off: fate, hear me what I say! One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; Does he not wear a great round beard, like a Pluck the grave wrinkled senate from the bench, Lysander! what, removed? Lysander! lord! Upon the dancing banners of the French, Come, fellow, follow us for thy reward. Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne, Hunts not the trail of policy so sure Enough to purchase what you have made known. Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise Envy the great nor do the low despise. DCXXIX - "ENTEETHFROMTHE" Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Now when the lords and barons of the realm That, when he plays at tables, chides the dice Enrings the barky fingers of the elm.

For they their guilt with weeping will unfold, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones!

Her voice is stopt, her joints forget to bow; Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. DCXXX - "FIERCETIGERSJA" For I am almost ready to dissolve, I ask'd his blessing, and from first to last Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Come, come, Lavinia; look, thy foes are bound. Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: The blood of English shall manure the ground, If it be made of penetrable stuff; Good king, great king, and yet not greatly good, Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Shall gild her bridal bed and make her rich Jack Cade, the Duke of York hath taught you this. And seal the title with a lovely kiss! DCXXXI - "WSANDBURNTHELO" Would it be better, madam, than I am? Shall more obey than to the edge of steel As you are now, for you are cold and stem; Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, Bid Gloucester think of this, and he will weep. Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Reply not in how many fathoms deep No, when my father York and Edward wept, That, all amaz'd, the priest let fall the book; Had all your quarters been as safely kept Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, Of Coeur-de-lion knighted in the field. DCXXXII - "NGLIVEDPHOENIX" Now, governor of Paris, take your oath, Give me a staff of honour for mine age, Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both! If, as his nature is, he fall in rage Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Damsel of France, I think I have you fast: Pardon, my liege, that I have stay'd so long. He is my son; yea, and therein my shame; Or daring-hardy as to touch the lists, Envy your great deservings and good name, Nor must not then be yielded to in this. In private will I talk with thee apart. eXposing it--but, O, the harder heart! DCXXXIII - "INHERBLOODMAKE" I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Here comes the lady: O, so light a foot Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. But, O malignant and ill-boding stars! Like the proceedings of a drunken brain, Of Hymen's purest bed! thou valiant Mars! Of both your armies; whose equality Doth part his function and is partly blind, More composition and fierce quality Ah, Richard, with the eyes of heavy mind Know him in us, that here hold up his right. Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! DCXXXIV - "GLADANDSORRYSE" Gave me my being and my father first, Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum And when 'tis told, O that my heart would burst! Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Alas, sweet aunt, I know not what you mean. No sooner had they told this hellish tale, Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: She looks upon his lips, and they are pale; Of a glad father compass thee about! Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins, Semblably furnish'd like the king himself. England is safe, if true within itself? DCXXXV - "ASONSASTHOUFLE" Alas, my lord, what do you mean by that? Steal from his figure and no pace perceived; Of such contents as you will wonder at; Nothing but males. Will it not be received, So much applauded through the realm of France? As matching to his youth and vanity, Stamp, rave, and fret, that I may sing and dance. That I should seem to lack humanity His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt Out, devil! I remember them too well: Under pretence to see the queen his aunt-- Fiend, thou torment'st me ere I come to hell! Let us impart what we have seen to-night Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! DCXXXVI - "ETSANDDOWHATEE" Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Ten thousand men that fishes gnaw'd upon; So good a quarrel and so bad a peer. And happily may your sweet self put on No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. Dissembling villain, thou speak'st false in both. Dear life redeems you. You perceive she stirs: Of my poor babe, according to thine oath, What scene of death hath Roscius now to act? Have robb'd my strong-knit sinews of their strength, Are of imagination all compact: To banish your defenders; till at length Each way and move. I take my leave of you: Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. DCXXXVII - "RTHOUWILTSWIFT" Real necessities, and give way the while To rouse a lion than to start a hare! He's scarce awake. Let him alone awhile. Off with his head! Now, by Saint Paul I swear, Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove: The whilst their own birds famish in their nests: So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Was falsely borne in hand, sends out arrests If you should die before him, where's her dower? For this affliction has a taste as sweet Two long days' journey, lords, or ere we meet. DCXXXVIII - "FOOTEDTIMETOTH" First, the gods bless you for your tidings; next, Of Timon man and all humanity! Or so devote to Aristotle's checks To stay him from the fall of vanity: Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Doth any name particular belong To see how fortune is disposed to us; In peace and honour live Lord Titus long; More worthy this place than myself; to whom, Either thou art most ignorant by age, Traitors, away! he rests not in this tomb: Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, That glues my lips and will not let me speak. Hence! I am qualmish at the smell of leek. DCXXXIX - "EWIDEWORLDANDA" Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; When it shines seldom in admiring eyes; I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Do thou but call my resolution wise, Enough to stifle such a villain up. With certain half-caps and cold-moving nods O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods Look here upon th's picture, and on this, Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears And threat me I shall never come to bliss Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: Delay this marriage for a month, a week; All, all, cry shame against me, yet I'll speak. DCXL - "LLHERFADINGSWE" Let him be ransom'd: never master had Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Hold, hurt him not, for God's sake! he is mad. Endue you with the people's voice: remains Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! Found it too precious-princely for a grave. As touching France, to give a greater sum Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? If you do fight in safeguard of your wives, Not to a rage. Patience and sorrow strove Good for their meat, and safer for their lives. She conjures him by high almighty Jove, Was Mahomet inspired with a dove? Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. DCXLI - "ETSBUTIFORBIDT" Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? The book of his good acts, whence men have read So he would keep fair quarter with his bed! Brother, for in that name doth nature plead,-- Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. That I, forsooth, am stern, and love them not? I fight against thee! No: I will go seek For parting us,--O, is it all forgot? Or my shamed life in his dishonour lies: Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood By such invention as I can devise? I bade her, if her fortunes ever stood Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid The fear of that withholds my present aid. DCXLII - "HEEONEMOSTHEIN" How! my good name? or to report of you Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. Or not remember what I must be now! Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Except it be to pray against thy foes. Morning for France. The duke hath offered him Or to turn white and swoon at tragic shows. Shut up in prison, kept without my food, That place them on the truth of girls and boys. His corrigible neck, his face subdued Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. I wonder now how yonder city stands Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. DCXLIII - "OUSCRIMEOCARVE" O, had they in that darksome prison died! Upon the left hand of the even field. Such signs of truth in his plain face she spied, Come, muster men: my counsel is my shield; Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: It shall appear that your demands are just, Made good the passage; cried to those that fled, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, Call'd Robin Goodfellow: are not you he A poor earl's daughter is unequal odds, Revive, look up, or I will die with thee! Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. DCXLIV - "NOTWITHTHYHOUR" No better than the earth he lies upon, O Antony, beg not your death of us. To Brecknock, while my fearful head is on! Whereon his brains still beating puts him thus I might have said 'No part of it is mine; The wanton Edward, and the lusty George? He sends you this most memorable line, To make me hunger more; that I should forge Her body's stain her mind untainted clears; You'll kiss me hard and speak to me as if Has deserved prison, then abound in tears Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff Upon this business my appearance make Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. DCXLV - "SMYLOVESFAIRBR" Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Must it be so? it must not be. My lords, Your brother is imprison'd by your means, Look for the news that the Guildhall affords. Or, if you show your face, you must not speak. Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Stand I condemn'd for pride and scorn so much? From south to west on wing soaring aloft, And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus, It to be stirr'd; but oft have hinder'd, oft, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us By'r lady, he is a good musician. Remember so weak a composition. DCXLVI - "OWNORDRAWNOLIN" Of this escape and whither they are bound; Which when I saw, I reprehended them; No man so potent breathes upon the ground Or in my life what comfort, when I am Rather than Paris. These are news indeed! Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: Am I Rome's slave? What penny hath Rome borne, Which swell'd so much that it did almost stretch Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. If you did know for whom I gave the ring Nay, 'tis too true; therefore he shall be king. DCXLVII - "ESTHEREWITHTHI" Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Speak your griefs softly: I do know you well. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? His help to crave, and my dear hap to tell. Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste When you have conquer'd my yet maiden bed, In number more than ever women spoke, Then be not poor, but break it, and take this. Had not an ear to hear my true time broke. Then judge, great lords, if I have done amiss; He was but as the cuckoo is in June, It is too heavy for so light a tune. DCXLVIII - "NEANTIQUEPENHI" No; God forbid your grace should be forsworn. Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. As, to behold desert a beggar born, No, my good lord; he speaks the common tongue, There yours, Lord Scroop of Masham; and, sir knight, I think the Duke of Burgundy will fast Question enrages him. At once, good night: Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Each one demand an answer to his part Peaceful commerce from dividable shores, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! No, good madam; I will not out of doors. He hath a garden circummured with brick, I will not speak with him. Say I am sick. DCXLIX - "MINTHYCOURSEUN" My lord, stand back, and let the coffin pass. Into the staggers and the careless lapse Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! To bring him here alone; although perhaps He sought to murder: but her better stars Your voice shall be as strong as any man's Come, let us go: we will include all jars Or, being open, put into his hands Unlock'd the treasure of his happy state; Reply not in how many fathoms deep Such civil war is in my love and hate Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Upon the water as he'll stand and read Nay, stare not, masters: it is true, indeed. DCL - "TAINTEDDOALLOW" The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, An offer, uncle, that we will accept: I would not thy good deeds should from my lips No, when my father York and Edward wept, Through all the signories it was the first Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst. Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, And with a larger tether may he walk Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Look, as the full-fed hound or gorged hawk, O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, With this, we charged again: but, out, alas! DCLI - "FORBEAUTYSPATT" Full fourteen weeks before the course of time. Or else what lets it but he would be here? Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, But that's no welcome: understand more clear, Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks And leave your children, wives and you in peace. Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks This fellow pecks up wit as pigeons pease, Your soldiers use him as the grace 'fore meat, Suspect I may, but not directly tell; Past all expressing. It is very meet Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell; The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims That thou hadst call'd me all these bitter names. DCLII - "ERNTOSUCCEEDIN" Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Return, return, and make thy love amends. No news so bad abroad as this at home; There vanish'd in the sunbeams: which portends-- Of estimation and command in arms. Sweet father, cease your tears; for, at your grief, Upon my body with their hellish charms? Came short of composition, but in chief Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, If half thy outward graces had been placed Now do you know the reason of this haste. DCLIII - "GMENYETDOTHYWO" Go muster men; but, hear you, leave behind My boat sails freely, both with wind and stream. Entreated me to call and know her mind: Nor should thy prowess want praise and esteem, Your cares set up do not pluck my cares down. Either thou art most ignorant by age, That ne'er shall dine unless thou yield the crown. Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; O, thou wilt be a wilderness again. The greatest wrong of all. He lost a wife Have I once lived to see two honest men? Yet, for necessity of present life, What watchful cares do interpose themselves Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. DCLIV - "RSTOLDTIMEDESP" Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Spurn at his edict and fulfil a man's? Than let him so be lost. O most kind maid, O, had the monster seen those lily hands Let this dissension first be tried by fight, Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused The lewdly-inclined. I'll bring home some to-night. I never heard a passion so confused, Made mine eyes water; but more merry tears Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Did give him that same royalty he wears; Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Sit fas aut nefas, till I find the stream Poor lady, she were better love a dream. DCLV - "ITETHYWRONGMYL" If they should speak, would almost damn those ears, Then need I not to fear the worst of wrongs, Environed with all these hideous fears? To things of sale a seller's praise belongs, He rouseth up himself and makes a pause; You might have heard it else proclaim'd about. We have strict statutes and most biting laws. Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; On greatness' favour dream as I have done, No: know the gallant monarch is in arms Good uncle, let this end where it begun; My spirit can no longer bear these harms. You do unbend your noble strength, to think Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! DCLVI - "OVESHALLINMYVE" O heresy in fair, fit for these days! Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Shines bright and never changes, but keeps his He that perforce robs lions of their hearts As did that one; and that, in my regard, Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. If you bethink yourself of any crime No, I defy all counsel, all redress, Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time? Your father's sickness is a maim to us. Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! DCLVII - "RSEEVERLIVEYOU" Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick So proud that Bolingbroke was on his back! Exampled by the first pace that is sick Even like a man new haled from the rack, Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Each cheek a river running from a fount Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Lays her full mess before you. Want! why want? I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Enough to purchase what you have made known. Yet have I heard,--O, could I find it now!-- One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. DCLVIII - "NGAWOMANSFACEW" Now thou and I are new in amity, Go you before, and I will follow you. And thou art wedded to calamity. What you command, that rests in me to do. O rash false heat, wrapp'd in repentant cold, Most like a noble lord in love and one And charged him with a thousand marks in gold, Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done: Should have thus little mercy on their flesh? Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill, As vaded gloss no rubbing will refresh, Catching all passions in his craft of will: Except some petty towns of no import: Whose glory fills the world with loud report. DCLIX - "ITHNATURESOWNH" I see these witches are afraid of swords. To counterfeit thus grossly with your slave, Have I since your departure had, my lords. Not knowing them until we know their grave: And he will look as hollow as a ghost, Their wishes, do discandy, melt their sweets Upon my death the French can little boast; Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. Envy your great deservings and good name, Should have thus little mercy on their flesh? O, she that hath a heart of that fine frame Who finds the heifer dead and bleeding fresh Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge How much thou wrong'st me, heaven be my judge. DCLX - "ANDPAINTEDHAST" A dedicated beggar to the air, Now is it manhood, wisdom and defence, Do I entice you? do I speak you fair? Pursue him to his house, and pluck him thence: As may be in the world: his youth in flood, Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; Not painted with the crimson spots of blood. That she is dead. Nurses are not the fates, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Done to me, undeserving as I am, His goods confiscate to the duke's dispose, All on a heap, like to a slaughter'd lamb, So kind to heart, 'tis not enough to give; Tell on thy mind; I say thy child shall live. DCLXI - "THOUTHEMASTERM" This said, his guilty hand pluck'd up the latch, His dagger drew, and died. For all the rest, Out of his subject; and we here dispatch Unquestion'd welcome and undoubted blest. Then, no, my lord. My suit is at an end. Have uncontemn'd gone by him, or at least Each hath his place and function to attend: My hope is gone, now Suffolk is deceased. And, had you not by wondrous fortune come, Show'd mastership in floating; fortune's blows, Three thousand ducats; 'tis a good round sum. Except it be to pray against thy foes. Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Making another head to fight again. DCLXII - "ISTRESSOFMYPAS" I do not know, my lord, what I should think, Sirrah, come hither; 'tis no time to jest, Tread on the sand; why, there you quickly sink: Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, Except it be to pray against thy foes. So he were like him and by Venus' side. Show'd mastership in floating; fortune's blows, O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide, First pay me for the nursing of thy sons; More upon humour than advised respect. Yet, in protection of their tender ones, Purpose to answer what thou canst object. And dwell upon your grave when you are dead; Shall make the gazer joy to see him tread. DCLXIII - "SIONAWOMANSGEN" Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. I will not have it so: lie down, good sirs; On Tuesday noon, or night; on Wednesday morn: No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. And spoil your nobler soul: I say, take heed; Which purchase if thou make, for fear of slips O, some authority how to proceed; Making dead wood more blest than living lips. And cracking the strong warrant of an oath, Never did passenger in summer's heat She shall not sue unheard. So to them both. Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; Each changing place with that which goes before, No, no, good night: I'll be your fool no more. DCLXIV - "TLEHEARTBUTNOT" Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? Let him have all the rigor of the law. Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Her eyes, though sod in tears, look'd red and raw, Endue you with the people's voice: remains And in this brainish apprehension kills Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains The fishes spread on it their golden gills; Between whose endless jar justice resides, Unless by robbing of your friends and us. There is expectance here from both the sides, Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! O god of love! I know he doth deserve To foster it, nor ever to preserve. DCLXV - "ACQUAINTEDWITH" As with the tide swell'd up unto his height, Cuckold's horns. Master Brook, thou shalt know I Question enrages him. At once, good night: Under whose sharp fangs on his back doth lie And both for my sake lay on me this cross: Inconstancy falls off ere it begins. No more my grief, in such a precious loss. Then murders, treasons and detested sins, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Did I impale him with the regal crown? When he hath ceased his ill-resounding noise, If I do wake, some planet strike me down, Their face their manners most expressly told: Hold, Toby; on thy life I charge thee, hold! DCLXVI - "SHIFTINGCHANGE" Stand close awhile, for here comes one in haste. His mother was a witch, and one so strong If half thy outward graces had been placed For Henry weeps that thou dost live so long. To wear your gentle limbs in my affairs, In love whereof, half Hector stays at home; Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: Good man, the wounds that he does bear for Rome! Can you still dream and pore and thereon look? He kisses her; and she, by her good will, And then comes answer like an Absey book: Not changing heart with habit, I am still Go, go, be gone, to save your ship from wreck, Each in his office ready at thy beck. DCLXVII - "ASISFALSEWOMEN" At such who, not born fair, no beauty lack, So in the world; 'tis furnish'd well with men, If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, Say I do speak with her, my lord, what then? From the rich Jew, a special deed of gift, And half their faces buried in their cloaks, Let's see for means: O mischief, thou art swift See you these, husband? do not these fair yokes Empale him with your weapons round about; Whose high exploits and honourable deeds O, pardon me, my lord; it oft falls out, My love with words and errors still she feeds; Err'd in this point which now you censure him, Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. DCLXVIII - "SFASHIONANEYEM" Start not; her actions shall be holy as Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose And, like her true nobility, she has Shall be the war that Henry means to use. Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere I will lay odds that, ere this year expire, O, 'twas a din to fright a monster's ear, Nor heady-rash, provoked with raging ire, A fasting tiger safer by the tooth, Not worth the time of day. It pierced me through; Even so void is your false heart of truth. Your French heart, I will be glad to hear you England, impatient of your just demands, Make an extent upon his house and lands. DCLXIX - "OREBRIGHTTHANT" Outsells them all; I love her therefore: but Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What But she's best married that dies married young. Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, Immortal longings in me: now no more God save the mark!--here on his manly breast: Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you? Your Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud; He shall be executed presently. And, of so great a favour growing proud, Now my old arms are young John Talbot's grave. Too great for what contains it. Boy! O slave! DCLXX - "HEIRSLESSFALSE" He speaks not like a man of God's making. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. I am supposed dead: the army breaking, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, So much I challenge that I may profess Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Strike, fellows, strike; this is the man I seek. She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Folly in fools bears not so strong a note A glooming peace this morning with it brings; Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat Setting your scorns and your mislike aside, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. DCLXXI - "INROLLINGGILDI" I'd set my ten commandments in your face. Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Of his own body he was ill, and gave Let me be blest to make this happy close; Love can transpose to form and dignity: I see no reason, if I wear this rose, Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. Go, take it up unto thy master's use. Go, Pindarus, get higher on that hill; I did, my lord, but loath am to produce Like humble-visaged suitors, his high will. Discover how, and thou shalt find me just. Is almost choked by unresisted lust. DCLXXII - "NGTHEOBJECTWHE" Not measuring what use we made of them. Gelding the opposed continent as much Then think you right: I am not what I am. Honour and virtue and conversed with such Each man apart, all single and alone, Or daring-hardy as to touch the lists, Bless you, fair dame! I am not to you known, Jack Cade, the Duke of York hath taught you this. Each present lord began to promise aid, Cool and congeal again to what it was. Than hath been taught by any of my trade; When you come 'cross his humour; faith, he does: Hath founded his good fortunes on your love, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. DCLXXIII - "REUPONITGAZETH" Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Upon a tawny front: his captain's heart, Perhaps she cull'd it from among the rest. O, be advised! thou know'st not what it is Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis, To drink small beer: all the realm shall be in Good word nor look: what, are my deeds forgot? As mine, against their will. Should all despair Zounds, sir, you are one of those that will not Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there The moon into salt tears: the earth's a thief, Here, Tamora, though grieved with killing grief. DCLXXIV - "AMANINHUEALLHU" As to take up mine honour's pawn, then stoop: Myself against the level of mine aim; And wear his colours like a tumbler's hoop! No; though thou call'st thyself a hotter name In zeal to you and highly moved to wrath Nay, it shall ne'er be said, while England stands, Horns, Master Brook: and, Master Brook, he hath Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; Either of you to be the other's end. And free access and favour as the rest. Lady, will you walk about with your friend? Look to't, think on't, I do not use to jest. Hath he not lost much wealth by wreck of sea? Unto my mother's prayers I bend my knee. DCLXXV - "ESINHISCONTROL" Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. So slight a valuation, should reserve If that the Dauphin there, thy princely son, No doubt they rose up early to observe How came the noble Timon to this change? If I did think, sir, I were well awake, She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, Can it not do and undo? I will make Of credit infinite, highly beloved, Now I but chide; but I should use thee worse, That noble honour'd lord, is fear'd and loved? Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Or forced examples, 'gainst her own content, Losing her woes in shows of discontent. DCLXXVI - "LINGMUCHSTEALS" Linger your patience on; and we'll digest I pray thee, tell me then that he is well. No night is now with hymn or carol blest: Go thou, and fill another room in hell. Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks; Unto a ragged fearful-hanging rock Call'd to that audit by advised respects; He had of me a chain: at five o'clock Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Thou that wast seal'd in thy nativity Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, After so long grief, such festivity! Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: Some blessed power deliver us from hence! DCLXXVII - "MENSEYESANDWOM" Make use of time, let not advantage slip; Either of king or council, when you went Now am I like that proud insulting ship So I return rebuked to my content Enough to purchase what you have made known. Yet indirection thereby grows direct, Each man apart, all single and alone, Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect And I will give a taste of it forthwith Never, O never shall I see more joy! Deal with poison; I will possess him with Were it not pity that this goodly boy Or lain in ambush to betray my life, My wife! my wife! what wife? I have no wife. DCLXXVIII - "ENSSOULSAMAZET" Expire before the flowers in their caps, Now thy proud neck bears half my burthen'd yoke; Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps. Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Of an one pain, save for a night of groans Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. Lest that thy wives with spits and boys with stones Stay, my Lord Talbot; for my lady craves Abuses me to damn me. I'll have grounds May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath. And, in possession, twenty thousand crowns. Zounds, I bleed still; I am hurt to the death. Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks They join and shoot their foam at Simois' banks. DCLXXIX - "HANDFORAWOMANW" Here overcome, as one full of despair, An if you do, you will but make it blush No child but Hero; she's his only heir. Do on the oak, hive with one winter's brush From whence you have them. You are jealous now Or live in peace abandon'd and despised! Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, And do so, love; yet when they have devised With ruder terms, such as my wit affords O father Abram, what these Christians are, Must it be so? it must not be. My lords, And I will set this foot of mine as far No glory lives behind the back of such. We cannot feel too little, hear too much. DCLXXX - "ERTTHOUFIRSTCR" England did never owe so sweet a hope, Remember whom you are to cope withal; That I was sent for nothing but a rope! This petty brabble will undo us all. He flatters you, makes war upon your life. Or any groat I hoarded to my use, Unless his noble mother, and his wife; For me, the gold of France did not seduce; If that the devil and mischance look big Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Some men there are love not a gaping pig; The noble Percy slain, and all his men Can arbitrate this cause betwixt us twain; Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. DCLXXXI - "EATEDTILLNATUR" Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: A little month, or ere those shoes were old That treason can but peep to what it would, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Despite of death that lives upon my grave, The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, I fear, a madness held me: this must crave, Lest it should bite its master, and so prove, Let me redeem my brothers both from death. Not Gaunt's rebukes, nor England's private wrongs, And with his former title greet Macbeth. To things of sale a seller's praise belongs, Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! DCLXXXII - "EASSHEWROUGHTT" Even like a man new haled from the rack, And the nobility of Rome are his: So proud that Bolingbroke was on his back! She hath been fairer, madam, than she is: He was a gentleman on whom I built Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, With purple falchion, painted to the hilt Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil Go I to make the French lay down their arms. Her face doth reek and smoke, her blood doth boil, To be her men and wear her livery: That he would labour my delivery. DCLXXXIII - "HEEFELLADOTING" He for his father's sake so loves the prince, Effect it with some care, that he may prove Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Lavinia, wert thou thus surprised, sweet girl, Lavinia, you are not displeased with this? As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, Delivers in such apt and gracious words Of spirit, Life, and bold audacity. The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds In least speak most, to my capacity. Nor never did my actions yet commence Get you hence, sirrah; saucy fellow, hence! DCLXXXIV - "ANDBYADDITIONM" A gentler scion to the wildest stock, Nor never more in Russian habit wait. Deservedly confined into this rock, Before we hear him, of some things of weight Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins, As thou and I; who, as thou know'st, are dear Destroy'd his country, and his name remains Do grow beneath their shoulders. This to hear In such-like circumstance, with suchlike sport: That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud It cannot be; some villains of my court O, world, how apt the poor are to be proud! No; for he could not so resign his crown Master, some show to welcome us to town. DCLXXXV - "EOFTHEEDEFEATE" Each changing place with that which goes before, Or, when you wak'd, so wak'd as if you slept. From a resolved and honourable war, The key whereof myself have ever kept; Has done no more than other knights have done; Empale him with your weapons round about; Expecting in return twenty for one? Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Edward and Clarence. O, what cause have I, For I will board her though she chide as loud Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; And overcome us like a summer's cloud, The king hath happily received, Macbeth, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. DCLXXXVI - "DBYADDINGONETH" Dismask'd, their damask sweet commixture shown, Bear with her weakness, which, I think proceeds Yield at entreats; and then let me alone: And let me see thee in thy woman's weeds. Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send Does not divide the Sunday from the week. I know not, gentlemen, what you intend, Now mark him, he begins again to speak. Guess thou the rest; King Edward's friends must down, Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Now, by my George, my garter, and my crown,-- Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time Therefore accept such kindness as I can. How use doth breed a habit in a man! DCLXXXVII - "INGTOMYPURPOSE" I will not eat my word, now thou art mine; Nor it nor no remembrance what it was: God witness with me, I have wept for thine. There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas Of all that virtue love for virtue loved: Many a groaning throe. Thus hulling in You shall be more beloving than beloved. Poison and treason are the hands of sin, Until her husband and my lord's return: Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Play on the lute, beholding the towns burn: Or daring-hardy as to touch the lists, Sovereign to all the creatures on the earth. England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. DCLXXXVIII - "NOTHINGBUTSINC" No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. Or I am much deceived, cuckolds ere now; The mere despair of surgery, he cures, He is no woodman that doth bend his bow In his bedchamber to be barr'd of rest. Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, Good Enobarbus, make yourself my guest Be not obdurate, open thy deaf ears. Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Ties up my tongue, and will not let me speak. Sweet lords, sweet lovers, O, let us embrace! I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak, No news so bad abroad as this at home; Caesar did write for him to come to Rome. DCLXXXIX - "ESHEPRICKDTHEE" Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. Him, thinkest thou? And what has he sent now? Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Plantagenet shall speak first: hear him, lords; Romeo, that she were, O, that she were It seem'd they would debate with angry swords. Come on, I say; and first begin with her. King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Deliver them, and your appeal to us The like do you; so shall we pass along, He and his toothpick at my worship's mess, Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Envy the great nor do the low despise. DCXC - "OUTFORWOMENSPL" O, that record could with a backward look, Uncle, give me your hands: nay, dry your eyes; Then he disdains to shine; for by the book For fleet-wing'd duty with thought's feathers flies. Or aught intend'st to lay unto my charge, Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid With letters of your love to her at large. Of that which hath so faithfully been paid. My name is Constance; I was Geffrey's wife; Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Never to England shall he bear his life; Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end: Lady, will you walk about with your friend?

Like to a dismal clangour heard from far, And thou, thrice-crowned Queen of Night, survey Some one be ready with a costly suit, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Spring crestless yeomen from so deep a root?

O, but with mine compare thou thine own state, Of his oath-breaking; which he mended thus, Know man from man? dispute his own estate?

How have I been behaved, that he might stick My lodging out. Give him a livery Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Do all expect that you should rouse yourself, At your request a little from himself. DCCXXXVI - "YSSHOULDEXPIAT" Yours, Cinna; and, my valiant Casca, yours; Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: Should lift their bosoms higher than the shores How he did seem to dive into their hearts O, let their bodies follow, my dear liege, Uproar the universal peace, confound Leave off delays, and let us raise the siege. Dead? or asleep? I see no blood, no wound. Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, eXcept it be to pray against thy foes.

And while thou Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Have left their places vacant, in their rooms As long a term as yet we have to live, There is no vice so simple but assumes But to the earth some special good doth give, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice And golden times, and happy news of price. DCCXXXVIII - "UTYTHATDOTHCOV" Unless thou couldst return to make amends? Therefore to's seemeth it a needful course, You are my guest, Lavinia, and your friends.

Thou wrong'st a gentleman, who is as far Devoured by the unexpected flood. O, he sits high in all the people's hearts: The breese upon her, like a cow in June, Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon. Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs?

That tends to vice in man, but I affirm Thee and thy virtues here I seize upon. Here, youth, there is my purse; I give thee this Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. DCCXL - "SEEMLYRAIMENTO" Shall be their father's bail; and bane to those Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Except it be to pray against thy foes. My honour's at the stake; which to defeat, Look, how thy wounds do bleed at many vents! You speak, Lord Mowbray, now you know not what. Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. A mark so bloody on the business, but In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; May justly diet me. I pray you yet; Envenom him with words, or get thee gone No reason I, since of your lives you set The poor fool prays her that he may depart: O Clifford, how thy words revive my heart! DCCXLI - "FMYHEARTWHICHI" For poor'st diminutives, for doits; and let My twelve months are expired, and Tyrus stands Yonder comes news. A wager they have met. Her suit is now to repossess those lands; Employ'd you where high profits might come home, A ragged and forestall'd remission. Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Truly to speak, and with no addition, Where didst thou see her? O unhappy girl! His brandish'd sword did blind men with his beams: Is she worth keeping? why, she is a pearl, Conceives by idleness and nothing teems Her body's stain her mind untainted clears; If they burn too, I'll quench them with my tears. DCCXLII - "NTHYBREASTDOTH" No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. To link my dear friend to a common stale. Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? You love the breeder better than the male. Bid me do any thing but that, sweet Greek. Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek And what love can do that dares love attempt; See, how the ugly wench doth bend her brows, The fear of God, and not with drunken knaves. Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: Of any true decision. Nature craves Thou dost make possible things not so held, How many of you have mine eyes beheld! DCCXLIII - "LIVEASTHINEINM" Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his I trust ere long to choke thee with thine own Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Enough to purchase what you have made known. A troubled mind drave me to walk abroad; Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: Thou plantest scandal and displacest laud: How he did seem to dive into their hearts It is religion to be thus forsworn, Nay, then 'tis time to stir him from his trance. End in one purpose, and be all well borne I am a soldier and now bound to France. No longer yours than you yourself here live: Mistress Ford: we will thrive, lads, we will thrive. DCCXLIV - "EHOWCANITHENBE" Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. He take leave, and presently after him. Of both your armies; whose equality When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, And be an eye-sore in my golden coat; Now is the sun upon the highmost hill I prithee take thy fingers from my throat; To the April day again. Come, damned earth, How would he hang his slender gilded wings, Ever to conquer, and to have his worth No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Be yoked with his that did betray the Best! Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. DCCXLV - "ELDERTHANTHOUA" Early and late, debating to and fro Live where their prayers did: and it's come to pass, Deliver what you will; I'll say 'tis so. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Receiving them from such a worthless post. Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests He, nor that affable familiar ghost A king of beasts, indeed; if aught but beasts, Nor near nor farther off, my gracious lord, The skies are painted with unnumber'd sparks, Hath in her more destruction than thy sword, O cunning, how I got it!--nay, some marks Until it wither with me to my grave And gives them what he will, not what they crave. DCCXLVI - "RTOTHEREFORELO" Reignier, her father, to the king of France There make before them. Look, the good man weeps! Or how haps it I seek not to advance Though woe be heavy, yet it seldom sleeps, Have vanquish'd the resistance of her youth, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Remains in danger of her former tooth. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Foster'd, illumined, cherish'd, kept alive. Out of myself, press me to death with wit. Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Lest with my sighs or tears I blast or drown O young and noble Cato, art thou down? DCCXLVII - "VEBEOFTHYSELFS" Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Environed with all these hideous fears? By how much better than my word I am, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? Fights dragon-like, and does achieve as soon To stranger blood, to foreign royalty. He was but as the cuckoo is in June, You envy my advancement and my friends': So, so, thou common dog, didst thou disgorge Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Lest, being seen, thy brother, tender George, Flatter my sorrows with report of it; So many guests invite as here are writ. DCCXLVIII - "OWARYASINOTFOR" O, yes, it doth; a thousand-fold it doth. When I did name her brothers, then fresh tears Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth Relish your nimble notes to pleasing ears; Your brother and his lover have embraced: Away, captains! let's get us from the walls; She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, It suffers not in smiling pomp, nor falls No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. Or quit in answer of the third exchange, To make me slave to it; and for your sake Furnish you fairly for this interchange: Of mercy, if thou didst this deed of death, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. DCCXLIX - "MYSELFBUTFORTH" My love shall hear the music of my hounds. Yet should both ear and heart obey my tongue. Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Lost by his father, with all bands of law, For when no friends are by, men praise themselves. By whose approach the regions of Artois, Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Then, Timon, presently prepare thy grave; For that it stands not in such warlike brace, Of his own body he was ill, and gave Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: The deepest loathing to the stomach brings, He was a king bless'd of the King of kings. DCCL - "EEWILLBEARINGT" Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Where's Bede? Go you, and where you find a maid If thou art changed to aught, 'tis to an ass. Let your best love draw to that point, which seeks Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! But his red colour hath forsook his cheeks. Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, A gait, a state, a brow, a breast, a waist, Recall not what we give, and therein may I shall attend your leisure: but make haste; Now which way shall she turn? what shall she say? Great pails of puddled mire to quench the hair: Though you are old enough to be my heir. DCCLI - "HYHEARTWHICHIW" Her father's liking; which to bring to pass, Your quondam wife swears still by Venus' glove: His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, Exist, and be a member of his love And all things change them to the contrary. Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Tell me thy reason why thou wilt marry. What is't to me, when you yourselves are cause, How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, I have, and most unwillingly, of late Courage enough: I do not fear the flaw; His promises fly so beyond his state If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trash Why do you speak so startingly and rash? DCCLII - "ILLKEEPSOCHARY" I have sent after him: he says he'll come; Leap in with me into this angry flood, Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Extinguishing his conduct in this case; England and France might, through their amity, Pleads he in earnest? look upon his face; Sticking together in calamity. Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Came of a gentle kind and noble stock, Henry is dead and never shall revive: And there repose: a turn or two I'll walk, Receiving them from such a worthless post. You all look strangely on me; and you most. DCCLIII - "ASTENDERNURSEH" An appetite that I am sick withal, Strike up our drums, pursue the scatt'red stray. Then take my soul, my body, soul and all, Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Stain to thy countrymen, thou hear'st thy doom! Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Hangs one that gathers sampire- dreadful trade! DCCLIV - "ERBABEFROMFARI" Empale him with your weapons round about; Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Bigger than pins' heads, and they have bought out And, dying, mention it within their wills, But mine is made the prologue to their play; Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Forgive my tyranny; but do not say Richer than that which four successive kings Or fill up chronicles in time to come, My sword should shed hot blood, mine eyes no tears. For such disguise as haply shall become And on it said a century of prayers, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Is my apparel sumptuous to behold? DCCLV - "NGILLPRESUMENO" Now we are victors; upon us he smiles. Give way to what's seen now! Sir, you yourself If to come hither you have measured miles, Lest your displeasure should enlarge itself Let him be crown'd; in him your comfort lives: Perchance some single vantages you took. Rather than render back, out with your knives, Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Shall have a thousand crowns for his reward. Under the shade of melancholy boughs, May you be happy in your wish, my lord Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, Or seem so craftily; and that's not good. DCCLVI - "TONTHYHEARTWHE" To seal her father's eyes up close as oak- O sinful thought! Never so rich a gem Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke That Charles the Dauphin may encounter them. He cried almost to roaring; and he wept You may partake of any thing we say: Had all your quarters been as safely kept Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: And from thy burgonet I'll rend thy bear Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! Things past redress are now with me past care. Would stand and make his eyes grow in my brow; Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. DCCLVII - "NMINEISSLAINTH" Now entertain conjecture of a time My blood begins my safer guides to rule; If you bethink yourself of any crime Not only, sir, this your all-licens'd fool, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. In the most terrible and nimble stroke So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Like softest music to attending ears! And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, I knew him tyrannous; and tyrants' fears Now, God be praised, that to believing souls That this my mother's son was none of his; He is no less than what we say he is. DCCLVIII - "OUGAVESTMETHIN" O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; And, from the place where you behold us now, Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Such as will enter at a lady's ear To give the heir and daughter of Lord Scales May be put from her by society: Even like a man new haled from the rack, That makes thee strangle thy propriety: Hark how I'll bribe you: good my lord, turn back. If he arise, be mock'd and wonder'd at. Nay, but ask my opinion too of that. DCCLIX - "ENOTTOGIVEBACK" Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived, Or whether since he is advis'd by aught The people know it; and have now received Thee and thy virtues here I seize upon. Or I shall break that merry sconce of yours Gentle thou art and therefore to be won, It would not out at windows nor at doors. Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Each day still better other's happiness; But ere the crown he looks for live in peace, And that be heir to his unhappiness! Coming and going with thy honey breath. Kill Brutus, and be honour'd in his death. DCCLX - "AGAINASANUNPER" Ay, sir; but she will none, she gives you thanks. Gone! they went hence so soon as they were born: And hear thou there how many fruitless pranks It is religion to be thus forsworn, Not like a woman; for I would prevent And much effuse of blood doth make me faint. So shall each lord of Greece, from tent to tent: As for the Duke of York, this late complaint Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Unless thou couldst return to make amends? Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: Princes, that strive by factions and by friends Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. DCCLXI - "FECTACTORONTHE" For yet ere supper-time must I perform Excepting one, I would he were the best Can no way change you to a milder form, Thy sun sets weeping in the lowly west, And wring the awful sceptre from his fist, Come from the north; and as I came along To have her back return'd: thus to persist O, coward that I am, to live so long, Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Turn back and fly, like ships before the wind He would have well becomed this place, and graced Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. DCCLXII - "STAGEWHOWITHHI" Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough: To their subsequent volumes, there is seen And would not take their part? Sinful Macduff, Give her an hundred marks. I'll to the queen. Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. We'll leave you for this time: go in and rest. Here at more leisure may your Highness read, Or on Diana's altar to protest Why, Warwick, canst thou speak against thy liege, I shall, King Harry. And so fare thee well: Then turn your forces from this paltry siege Hear a foot fall: we now are near his cell. He murder cries and help from Athens calls. I did present him with the Paris balls. DCCLXIII - "SFEARISPUTBESI" Shall never see so much, nor live so long. For thou mayst see a sunshine and a hail Else had she with her father rang'd along. And then is heard no more: it is a tale Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his I am too old to fawn upon a nurse, Sirrah, thy lord I honour as he is. Philip of France, on peril of a curse, Uncle of Winchester, I pray, read on. This is my king, York, I do not mistake; But he which bore my letter, Friar John, Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. I'll kiss each several paper for amends. DCCLXIV - "DESHISPARTORSO" Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Stay, gentle Margaret, and hear me speak. How now, Lavinia! Marcus, what means this? If that be all, masters, I hear no harm. Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, Point against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm. A kingdom for a stage, princes to act Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, They have made worms' meat of me: I have it, O Warwick, I do bend my knee with thine; Revel the night, rob, murder, and commit Shall falter under foul rebellion's arms. Of the most bloody nurser of his harms! DCCLXV - "MEFIERCETHINGR" Mark what I say. Attend me where I wheel: Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. For her sake that I have been,--for I feel I stumbled when I saw. Full oft 'tis seen Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Compared with loss of thee will not seem so. Each jealous of the other, as the stung To be corrupted with my worthless gifts. Have loved without this mean, if on both parts I see a man here needs not live by shifts, Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, God gi' god-den. I pray, sir, can you read? Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. DCCLXVI - "EPLETEWITHTOOM" Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Partly that I have need of such a youth Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, Even so void is your false heart of truth. Than you expect: unseal this letter soon; Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Why how now? do you speak in the sick tune? I shall have more than you can dream of yet; That only have fear'd Caesar: to the ports He dies to me again when talk'd of: sure, The discontents repair, and men's reports Or failing so, yet that I put the Moor Opens his vasty jaws; and on your head My grave is like to be my wedding bed. DCCLXVII - "UCHRAGEWHOSEST" Unto the brother of your loving bride; Cheering a rout of rebels with your drum, Have from the forests shook three summers' pride, Richard Plantagenet, my lord, will come: Alas, sweet wife, my honour is at pawn; Go, by this token: rise, and lend thine ear: Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Whom thou, in terms so bloody and so dear, He doth me wrong to feed me with delays. Of what a monarchy you are the head: Solicit Henry with her wondrous praise: England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Since you are strangers and come here by chance, The smell whereof shall breed a plague in France. DCCLXVIII - "RENGTHSABUNDAN" Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Nay, stay; by Jove, I will not speak a word: Go to thy lady's grave and call hers thence, The dedicated words which writers use His sorrows have so overwhelm'd his wits, So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse And my pretext to strike at him admits By holy human law, and common troth, Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes Now in his life, against your holy oath? Dark as your fortune is, and but disguise A thousand men have broke their fasts to-day, Nor shall not, when my fancy's on my play. DCCLXIX - "CEWEAKENSHISOW" Came pouring, like the tide into a breach, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. We still have judgment here; that we but teach Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: A most unspotted lily shall she pass Kind Tyrrel, am I happy in thy news? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Not what you are, I know it will excuse Set on there! Never was a war did cease, He leaves his back unarm'd, the French and Welsh I'll murder all his wardrobe, piece by piece, Sir Toby Belch! how now, Sir Toby Belch! Othello, leave some officer behind, While Gloucester bears this base and humble mind. DCCLXX - "NHEARTSOIFORFE" Not letting it decline on the declined, He hath, my lord; but be you well assured, Entreated me to call and know her mind: And now, to tempt, all liberty procured. Rather he should shrive me than wive me. Come, The wolf hath seized his prey, the poor lamb cries; Seal up your lips, and give no words but mum: On this sad shadow Lucrece spends her eyes, I am content that he shall take the odds For what offence have I this fortnight been Of pain: nay, we must think men are not gods, Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Fortune and victory sit on thy helm! Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. DCCLXXI - "AROFTRUSTFORGE" Alas, I am the mother of these moans! Rather than so, come fate into the list. Or if you cannot weep, yet give some groans, For going on death's net, whom none resist. That for a toy, a thing of no regard, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard: Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? Thou learn a prayer without book. Thou canst strike, For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, O Tamora! was ever heard the like? Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Give way to what's seen now! Sir, you yourself Else would he never so demean himself. DCCLXXII - "TTOSAYTHEPERFE" Then, England's messenger, return in post, The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: Of smiling peace to march a bloody host, Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, And over-joy of heart doth minister. Yet let her be a principality, To keep the oath that we administer: Here on my knee I beg mortality, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Proteus, the good conceit I hold of thee-- Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Receive my tears and seem to weep with me; Fie, uncle Beaufort! I have heard you preach Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. DCCLXXIII - "CTCEREMONYOFLO" Call we to mind, and mark but this for proof, To business with the King, more than the scope Come not within these doors; within this roof England did never owe so sweet a hope, Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: My love till death, my humble thanks, my prayers; Only to flatter fools and make them bold: Nor fear of bad success in a bad cause, You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? O, sir, I find her milder than she was; Forbid the sea for to obey the moon Let not to-morrow then ensue to-day; Or gluttoning on all, or all away. DCCLXXIV - "VESRITEANDINMI" Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Sweet York, sweet husband, be not of that mind: Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! I have been in such a pickle since I To make yourself a son out of my blood. Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; Although she lave them hourly in the flood. Nothing but 'Mortimer,' and give it him Dearer than Plutus' mine, richer than gold: I know this act shows horrible and grim. Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, More plentiful than tools to do't, struck down I tell thee, I, that thou hast marr'd her gown. DCCLXXV - "NEOWNLOVESSTRE" Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Early and late, debating to and fro Or who should study to prefer a peace. Where foxes, geese: you are no surer, no, Not gross to sink, but light, and will aspire. Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou Only, good master, while we do admire Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Should hold her loathed and his spirits should hunt Sirrah, I will not bear these braves of thine. This third, dull lead, with warning all as blunt, Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. DCCLXXVI - "NGTHSEEMTODECA" No higher than thyself; the judge's clerk, Gives not the hawthorn-bush a sweeter shade To leave no rubs nor botches in the work-- Hangs one that gathers sampire- dreadful trade! Such as the daughter of Agenor had, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Mean and right poor, for that pure blood of mine The king and his companions: warily Other offenders we will pause upon. Doomsday is near; die all, die merrily. Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Come on, you thick lipp'd slave, I'll bear you hence; As, passing all conceit, needs no defence. DCCLXXVII - "YOERCHARGEDWIT" You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! O, here he is! Lay hand upon him.- Sir, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Curse not thyself, fair creature thou art both. Here with a sigh, as if her heart would break, And credent soul to that strong-bonded oath Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Go, Salisbury, and tell them all from me. Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Did come to his hands, and commands shall be Wilt thou be lord of the whole world? That's twice. Importing the surrender of those lands To him forthwith in holy wedlock bands. DCCLXXVIII - "HBURDENOFMINEO" Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Blood will I draw on thee, thou art a witch, Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, For I am proverb'd with a grandsire phrase; Mine ears against your suits are stronger than If ever you have look'd on better days, Nay, do not quarrel with us, good old man. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. DCCLXXIX - "WNLOVESMIGHTOL" We shall be much unfurnished for this time. Never pray more; abandon all remorse; Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. Or with a base and boist'rous sword enforce Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, More near my life, I fear,--with my weak wit, It he is to sojourn with you? How creeps Go therefore, tell thy master here I am; His mother shames him so, poor boy, he weeps. The enemy, marching along by them, Of present death, and shame that might ensue Look, what I will not, that I cannot do. DCCLXXX - "ETMYBOOKSBETHE" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Timon will to the woods; where he shall find Met us again and madly bent on us, You are not worth the dust which the rude wind By urging me to fury: O, be gone! Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Knowing him is enough. On's bed of death Salute thee for her king: till then, fair boy, By this at Daintry, with a puissant troop. Each opposite that blanks the face of joy That the probation bear no hinge nor loop His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes; Except it be to pray against thy foes. DCCLXXXI - "NTHEELOQUENCEA" Now, by the burning tapers of the sky, To castigate thy pride, 'twere well: but thou His servant live, and will his vassal die: Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Let it not tell your judgment I am old; Of a poor worm. Thy best of rest is sleep, Quite from himself to God. But now behold, Unshaked of motion: and that I am he, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Now, go thy way. Faintness constraineth me Come, cousin, let us tell the queen these news. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And govern'd him in strength, though not in lust. DCCLXXXII - "NDDUMBPRESAGER" Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? Upon the instant that she was accused, My state is desperate for my master's love; But sorrow flouted at is double death. Pray you, sir, was't not the wise woman of Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. England and France might, through their amity, Say thou wilt walk: we will bestrew the ground. And free my country from calamity: Giving myself a voluntary wound Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. DCCLXXXIII - "SOFMYSPEAKINGB" Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, For which I must not plead, but that I am Make an extent upon his house and lands. Yet most suspected, as the time and place Strangely neglected? when did he regard Possess'd with such a gentle sovereign grace, Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard And when my uncle told me so, he wept, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, In sooth, good friend, your father might have kept Nor mother, wife, nor England's counted queen. Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. Be not obdurate, open thy deaf ears. DCCLXXXIV - "REASTWHOPLEADF" Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. Else one self mate and mate could not beget As many and as well-born bloods as those,-- So doth the cony struggle in the net. That makes me see, and cannot feed mine eye? Will we acquaint with all that we intend; He gains by death that hath such means to die: Or the light loss of England for a friend: Pursue him to his house, and pluck him thence: Lest we remember still that we have none. Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Ay, fill it full with wills, and my will one. Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? For who lived king, but I could dig his grave? DCCLXXXV - "ORLOVEANDLOOKF" O, much I fear some ill unlucky thing. Remember whom you are to cope withal; Let me for this my life-time reign as king. Or by the father there were none at all; Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Either they must be dieted like mules And ears so cloy'd importantly as now, Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look: Like water from ye, never found again O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: O, why should nature build so foul a den, Keepers, convey him hence, and I myself For Pyramus therein doth kill himself. DCCLXXXVI - "ORRECOMPENSEMO" O noble prince, I can discover all Resolvedly more leisure shall express: Remember whom you are to cope withal; Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Cheering a rout of rebels with your drum, Of all rejoindure, forcibly prevents My lord, your loving nephew now is come. Piercing the night's dull ear, and from the tents Endue you with the people's voice: remains No higher than thyself; the judge's clerk, Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Must we pursue, and I have found the path. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath! DCCLXXXVII - "RETHANTHATTONG" Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Each in his office ready at thy beck. The coward horse that bears me fail and die! Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, And winds of all the comers kiss'd your sails, Now are they but one lamp, one light, one sun. The King, my lord, and Harry Prince of Wales His honour and myself are at the one, A plague on thee! thou art too bad to curse. The which shall turn you to no further harm To second ills with ills, each elder worse, One friend to take his fortune by the arm, No more can I be sever'd from your side, God give you joy, sir, of your gallant bride! DCCLXXXVIII - "UETHATMOREHATH" Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. Ere twice in murk and occidental damp Things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves. He shall not hear thee; or from Caesar's camp As being well content with that alone. To give thee all, and in his waning age May honourable peace attend thy throne! Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Either be gone before the watch be set, Hence, prating peasant! fetch thy master home. And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget, That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief: Here, Tamora, though grieved with killing grief. DCCLXXXIX - "MOREEXPRESSDOL" Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff; Or is the adder better than the eel Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Exception bid him speak, and at this time eXcuse; it is to beat usurping down.

God help, poor souls, how idly do they talk! Stood challenger on mount of all the age Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, O lady, lady, shame would have it hid! Lord Angelo? they have confessed you did. DCCXCIV - "OVESFINEWITMIN" O, from thy cheeks my image thou hast torn, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, End in one purpose, and be all well borne Slave, I have set my life upon a cast, From his deep chest laughs out a loud applause; I should not live to speak another word; Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard With nimble soles: I have a soul of lead I cannot strike at wretched kerns, whose arms That you shall hate it both: therefore take heed, My spirit can no longer bear these harms.

Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look: Tell me wherein have I offended most?

I see things too, although you judge I wink. Stand where the torch may not discover us. His trespass yet lives guilty in thy blood; Express'd and not express'd.

Robs me of that which not enriches him Ere you can take due orders for a priest: You heedless joltheads and unmanner'd slaves!

DCCCIX - "EDLIESWHICHINM" Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set Dissolve my life! The next Caesarion smite! Lest I, by marking of your rage, forget I did not think to be so sad to-night Even like a man new haled from the rack, Stopping my greedy ear with their bold deeds; Who finds his Lucrece clad in mourning black: Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, I like you, lads; about your business straight; Create her child of spleen, that it may live Hie you, make haste, for it grows very late. If thou wouldst not entomb thyself alive Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. DCCCX - "YBOSOMSSHOPISH" Yields up his life unto a world of odds: Before the child himself felt he was sick: Of pain: nay, we must think men are not gods, So there's my riddle: one that's dead is quick: Or is it Dian, habited like her, My sister may receive it much more worse, Show'd like a mine. Their dwarfish pages were Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades, Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back.

DCCCXI - "ANGINGSTILLTHA" Am I a queen in title and in style, No man but prophesied revenge for it. Great Mars, I put myself into thy file: It is extempore, from my mother wit. Nor I no strength to climb without thy help. Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past: Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp That yet can do thee office? If thou hast, In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Like Amazons come tripping after drums, Looks on alike. Will't please you, sir, be gone? To know for what he comes, and whence he comes, High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, A letter, that she loves the knight of Tyre! DCCCXII - "THATHHISWINDOW" They pass by strangely: they were used to bend How can they then assist me in the act? And very rich; but th'art too much my friend, They say, poor gentleman, he's much distract. Henry is youthful and will quickly yield. Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's I would your highness would depart the field: Set deadly enmity between two friends, What now? how chance thou art return'd so soon? I scorn thee and thy fashion, peevish boy. Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? Of great Apollo's priest; and that, since then, When they shall hear how we have play'd the men. DCCCXIII - "SGLAZEDWITHTHI" So please it you, my lord, 'twere not amiss Giving myself a voluntary wound Look here upon th's picture, and on this, At last she sees a wretched image bound, Zounds, he dies: I had forgot the reward.

True grief is fond and testy as a child, Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath: Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild; O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Undo that prayer, by crying out as loud, Rather than render back, out with your knives, Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead So worthless peasants bargain for their wives, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. DCCCXVI - "SFOREYESHAVEDO" Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. For him that brought it.

In no less working than are swords and bows Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, You go not till I set you up a glass Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Have put on black and loving mourners be, And therefore we must needs admit the means Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. DCCCXVIII - "DRAWNTHYSHAPEA" Damn'd in the first beginners!--gan to look Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. And from her tongue 'can lurk' from 'cannot' took: What should he say? We wept after her hearse, Never pray more; abandon all remorse; The circumstance I'll tell you more at large. Harry to Harry shall, hot horse to horse, Your gracious self to take on you the charge So holy writ in babes hath judgment shown, Have I my pillow left unpress'd in Rome, A way to make us better friends, more known. Perchance, Iago, I will ne'er go home. Even for this let us divided live, And your sweet semblance to some other give. DCCCXIX - "NDTHINEFORMEAR" No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem Doing the execution and the act This accident is not unlike my dream: How shall we then dispense with that contract, In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice; Nor will he know his purse, or yield me this, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice For that which thou hast sworn to do amiss O fairest beauty, do not fear nor fly!

Which gives the watch-word to his hand full soon Since you are strangers and come here by chance, The hostess of the meeting: pray you, bid O, let those cities that of plenty's cup May then make all the claim that Arthur did. Your matrons and your maids, could not fill up But here's a villain that would face me down Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown. DCCCXXI - "EASTWHERETHROU" Each in his office ready at thy beck. And for one blast of thy minikin mouth So did he turn and over Suffolk's neck Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. Which is as brief as I have known a play; Harmless Lucretia, marking what he tells Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: Either to die the death or to abjure Their form confounded makes most form in mirth, His neck will come to your waist,--a cord, sir. Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Once more the engine of her thoughts began: Upon this spotted and inconstant man. DCCCXXII - "GHTHESUNDELIGH" Go, call before me all the lords in court. How have you made division of yourself? Thus time we waste, and longest leagues make short; He would have weigh'd thy brother by himself Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Salute thee for her king: till then, fair boy, Unless he do submit himself to Rome. Never, O never shall I see more joy! Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Leaving free things and happy shows behind; In Saturninus' health, whom, if she sleep, Good strings to your beards, new ribbons to your He doth again repeat, and that they swore.

God will revenge it. But come, let us in, Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike Zounds, where thou wilt, lad; I'll make one; an I Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. DCCCXXIV - "THEREINONTHEEY" The sweetest sleep, and fairest-boding dreams How comes this, Sir John? Fie! What man of good Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Invited her to supper: she replied, Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord. O tiger's heart wrapt in a woman's hide! No, my good lord; he speaks the common tongue, That all the court may echo with the noise. He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Your father's heir must have your father's land. DCCCXXV - "ETEYESTHISCUNN" Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, That may be must be, love, on Thursday next. Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex: Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice The mere despair of surgery, he cures, Her eyes, her hair, her cheek, her gait, her voice, I like this fair proceeding of the King's. So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, Creep in 'twixt vows and change decrees of kings, Upon the winds command, bind them in brass, Nay, follow'd him, till he had melted from Now, neighbour confines, purge you of your scum. DCCCXXVI - "INGWANTTOGRACE" In courtly company or at my beads, Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench; Gentle Lucetta, fit me with such weeds Which, being suffer'd, rivers cannot quench. Amongst a grove, the very straightest plant; Now, fair befall you! he deserved his death; The knowledge of your mistress home, I grant To stifle beauty and to steal his breath, Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon! Rebuke and dread correction wait on us And yet methinks I do not like this tune. Cupid all arm'd: a certain aim he took Else you may be marvellously mistook. DCCCXXVII - "THEIRARTTHEYDR" This is the ape of form, monsieur the nice, Here comes the holy legate of the pope. Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice It was, my lord; who lin'd himself with hope, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. And with uplifted arms is safe arrived Raze out the written troubles of the brain Thou art a gentleman and well derived; The revenue whereof shall furnish us He shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Yet here they shall not lie, for catching cold. Dead in his bed, my lord; Gloucester is dead. Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. DCCCXXVIII - "AWBUTWHATTHEYS" Adoption strives with nature and choice breeds Will raise your highness such a mighty sum But edifies another with her deeds. Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. The duke, my husband and my children both, Who else must be let blood, who else is rank: Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. A halter'd neck which does the hangman thank Take leave and part; for you must part forthwith. To answer mildly; for they are prepared Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with Esteem him as a lamb, being compared You should have fear'd false times when you did feast: Say but the word, and I will be his priest. DCCCXXIX - "EEKNOWNOTTHEHE" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Edward and York; then haply she will weep: King Richard might create a perfect guess No noise, but silence and eternal sleep: Or who hath brought the fatal engine in When I have deck'd the sea with drops full salt, Nor tell the world Antiochus doth sin O, not to-day, think not upon the fault This do, and do it kindly, gentle sirs; The great part of my comfort, gone; my queen Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, He makes for England, there to claim the crown. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. DCCCXXX - "ARTLETTHOSEWHO" Ay, hand from hand, my love, and heart from heart. Rather than rob me of the people's hearts! That put Armado's page out of his part! Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; The time inviting thee? the perturb'd court, That I myself have done unto myself? His time of folly and his time of sport; Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Send him but hither, and I'll fashion him. Either thou art most ignorant by age, When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim His nostrils drink the air, and forth again, Or that or any place that harbours men. DCCCXXXI - "AREINFAVOURWIT" As, sick and blunted with community, Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, Embrace we then this opportunity I have a thousand spirits in one breast, Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. For in thy shoulder do I build my seat, And rear it in the place your father's stands. Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Until four hundred one and twenty years Ready to starve and dare not touch his own: Who, impotent and bedrid, scarcely hears I'll play the housewife for this once. What, ho! There's none but asses will be bridled so. DCCCXXXII - "HTHEIRSTARSOFP" His antidotes are poison, and he slays To bring him here alone; although perhaps Her more than haste is mated with delays, Expire before the flowers in their caps, In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice; Real necessities, and give way the while Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; The letter is too long by half a mile. And all the Greekish girls shall tripping sing, Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost, Strangle such thoughts as these with any thing One step I have advanc'd thee. If thou dost For in Baptista's keep my treasure is. Pawn me to this your honour, she is his. DCCCXXXIII - "UBLICHONOURAND" Up to the ears. Come, we burn daylight, ho! But praying, to enrich his watchful soul: Look in a glass, and call thy image so: I would the state of time had first been whole Come, gentlemen, ye shall go my way, which Here he comes with your niece: give them way till Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich Now He that made me knows I see thee ill; Of civil wounds plough'd up with neighbours' sword; Upbraided me about the rose I wear; Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; And from thy burgonet I'll rend thy bear Not any, but abide the change of time, Drove back again unto my native clime? DCCCXXXIV - "PROUDTITLESBOA" Peace, thou! and give King Henry leave to speak. Receive it friendly; but from this time forth On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Under the lordly monarch of the north, Domestic fury and fierce civil strife Then they could smile and fawn upon his debts If this right hand would buy two hour's life, The wreck of all my friends, nor this man's threats, Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies; Expect him here: when he shall come and find Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes But now you partly may perceive my mind. Open your ears; for which of you will stop And climb the highest promontory top. DCCCXXXV - "STWHILSTIWHOMF" So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet. To the ambassadors of England gives What is it else? a madness most discreet, Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. It easeth some, though none it ever cured, Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? She's such a one, that, were I well assured There's something in me that reproves my fault; I prithee, do not strive against my vows: With what contempt he wore the humble weed, Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. Out of his rags! Here's a large mouth, indeed, Most noble! in the presence of thy corse? For hither we have broken in by force. DCCCXXXVI - "ORTUNEOFSUCHTR" On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth Ready to catch each other by the throat, To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Upon his royal face there is no note No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: For I must ne'er love him whom thou dost hate. Shall, for thy love, kill a far truer love; Unto a view so false will not incline; Could never go so slow: I have heard of His cocks do win the battle still of mine, To be thy lord and master: seek the king; Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. DCCCXXXVII - "IUMPHBARSUNLOO" If not, to compass her I'll use my skill. Upon his visage, and that all the walls My love is as a fever, longing still Peace and prosperity! Who is't that calls He lessens his requests; and to thee sues Be it my wrong you are from me exempt, And thy abundant goodness shall excuse Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Under whose colours he had fought so long. No bitterness that I will bitter think, Learn him forbearance from so foul a wrong. O my good lord, the world is but a word: Of that report which I so oft have heard. DCCCXXXVIII - "KDFORJOYINTHAT" Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. Dial is now upon the prick of noon. For being ignorant to whom it goes Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine Or I am mad, or else this is a dream: Your master's confidence was above mine; If haply you my father do suspect Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Then others for the breath of words respect, Have utter'd truth: which if you seek to prove, And give your hearts to, when they once perceive Then wish me better; I will give you leave. DCCCXXXIX - "IHONOURMOSTGRE" I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth. How much, methinks, I could despise this man, Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth.

O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Such childish humour from weak minds proceeds: There will the lovely Roman ladies troop: Green earthen pots, bladders and musty seeds, Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, Enough to purchase what you have made known. DCCCXL - "ATPRINCESFAVOU" As salt as wolves in pride, and fools as gross The party 'gainst the which he doth contrive Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live I cannot, by the progress of the stars, Now do you know the reason of this haste. Come, let us go: we will include all jars Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Sheet of paper: my daughter tells us all. For I did dream of money-bags to-night. And, like a sister, am most loath to call Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight O gentlemen, the time of life is short! Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? DCCCXLI - "RITESTHEIRFAIR" Rome's royal mistress, mistress of my heart, I'll give thee armour to keep off that word: That none but fools would keep: a breath thou art, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Show scarce so gross as beetles. Halfway down Troop in the throngs of military men; Henry of Lancaster, resign thy crown. Establish him in his true sense again, I had forgot myself; am I not king?

DCCCXLII - "LEAVESSPREADBU" Let's to the Capitol. Would half my wealth Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And purge it to a sound and pristine health, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought So please you, save the thanks this prince expects: Straight let us seek, or straight we shall be sought; Preeminence, and all the large effects Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Ah, no, no, no, it is mine only son! Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' But once a-day, it would unclog my heart Unmannerly intruder as thou art! DCCCXLIII - "TASTHEMARIGOLD" To shrink mine arm up like a wither'd shrub; And say you would present her at the leet, Shall blow each dust, each straw, each little rub, To penetrative shame, whilst the wheel'd seat He burns with bashful shame: she with her tears Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which My gracious prince, and honourable peers, And bears his thoughts above his falcon's pitch. Reason becomes the marshal to my will It faded on the crowing of the cock.

Edward and York; then haply she will weep: She shows a body rather than a life, Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. Nothing in France, until he has no wife! Should dying men flatter with those that live? Either of you to be the other's end. You are my all the world, and I must strive Each hath his place and function to attend: After a well-graced actor leaves the stage, Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. DCCCXLV - "DINTHEMSELVEST" Discharged. But come, your Bergomask: let your If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, None in the world: you did mistake him, sure. The offer of an hundred thousand crowns He hath brought many captives home to Rome Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice My haste is very great: farewell; hie home. Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Lies crafty-sick. The posts come tiring on, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Show minutes, times, and hours: but my time To weigh how once I suffered in your crime. DCCCXLVI - "HEIRPRIDELIESB" He burns with bashful shame: she with her tears Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange I know, is such a wrest in their affairs Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Prithee, get thee in: would thou hadst ne'er been Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. I'll be damned for never a king's son in Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace.

Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? For, look you, I may make the belly smile O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Real necessities, and give way the while And when great treasure is the meed proposed, The day is broke; be wary, look about. And, after conflict such as was supposed For, had the passions of thy heart burst out, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, O, do not do your cousin such a wrong. DCCCXLVIII - "WNTHEYINTHEIRG" Why tender'st thou that paper to me, with Now, quiet soul, depart when heaven please, Take leave and part; for you must part forthwith. He will the rather do it when he sees Expire before the flowers in their caps, Yet come again; for thou perhaps mayst move Into the staggers and the careless lapse Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve That so I may by this device at least Humphrey of Gloucester, thou shalt well perceive Ere you can take due orders for a priest: I can scarce speak to thee. Thou'lt not believe Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: Good morrow, gallants! want ye corn for bread? DCCCXLIX - "LORYDIETHEPAIN" Like trees bedash'd with rain: in that sad time O that this too too solid flesh would melt, Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, You are the musty chaff; and you are smelt Disguise the holy strength of their command, It may be judged I made the duke away; Ere I could make thee open thy white hand This is my birth-day; as this very day Hast thou no care of me? shall I abide Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Pierce into that; but I can see his pride A fiend, a fury, pitiless and rough; If low, an agate very vilely cut; Nothing, my lord: or if--I know not what. DCCCL - "FULWARRIORFAMO" Farewell, proud Rome; till Lucius come again, Unchain your spirits now with spelling charms Love keeps his revels where they are but twain; Wilt thou resign them and lay down thy arms? And I will stoop and humble my intents Remaining in the coffer of her friends, Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. I speak no more than what my soul intends; O, yes; and went between us very oft. Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them From south to west on wing soaring aloft, And cry 'Your will?' Have you no ears? I am Most honourably doth unhold his word. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. DCCCLI - "USEDFORFIGHTAF" Unless thou couldst return to make amends? Sir, you and I have loved, but there's not it; Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Did never traitor in the land commit. Fetch from false Mowbray their first head and spring.

Fair ladies mask'd are roses in their bud; I lov'd her most, and thought to set my rest Give me thy fist, thy fore-foot to me give: Here may his head lie on my throbbing breast: Too good to be so and too bad to live, And not of any challenge of desert, For stones dissolved to water do convert. DCCCLII - "TERATHOUSANDVI" That lie shall lie so heavy on my sword, Each jealous of the other, as the stung Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; And warrant limited unto my tongue. To know what willing ransom he will give. How troublesome it sat upon my head: Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind: No, good my lord; let's fight with gentle words Dumb jewels often in their silent kind Values itself so highly that to her I will determine this before I stir. DCCCLIII - "CTORIESONCEFOI" Clapping their hands, and crying with loud voice, Thou wilt fall backward when thou hast more wit; Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, Repair hither and say you are not fit. Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! Or, wanting strength to do thee so much good, None but that ugly treason of mistrust, Comfort, my lord; and so I take my leave. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, For God doth know, so shall the world perceive, One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. I never swore this lady such an oath. DCCCLIV - "LDISFROMTHEBOO" Love me or love me not, I like the cap; Damsel of France, I think I have you fast: I'll make my heaven in a lady's lap, Slave, I have set my life upon a cast, Fronting the sun, receives and renders back Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, O grim-look'd night! O night with hue so black! My mercy dried their water-flowing tears; That Time comes stealing on by night and day? Happy were England, would this gracious prince Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. But not without that harmful stroke which since O, none of both but are of high desert: O, yet defend me, friends! I am but hurt. DCCCLV - "KOFHONOURRAZED" Knave; that's, before me thou'rt a knave: this had Of the most bloody nurser of his harms! For they are harsh, untuneable and bad. Have at you, then, affection's men at arms. Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Now where is he that will not stay so long Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Under whose government come they along? Replies her husband: 'do not take away Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. As honour without breach of honour may Zounds, I bleed still; I am hurt to the death. Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? DCCCLVI - "QUITEANDALLTHE" Quiet untroubled soul, awake, awake! Unknown to you, unsought, were clipp'd about If you speak truth, for their poor mistress' sake; Them to their trial-the bubbles are out, England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, And therefore do they cry, though you forbid, No, I'll not go: you hear what he hath said Deserve not worse than wretched Clarence did, And dip their napkins in his sacred blood, Love, friendship, charity, are subjects all Leap in with me into this angry flood, Though I am mad, I will not bite him: call. Hot questrists after him, met him at gate; Eternal numbers to outlive long date. DCCCLVII - "RESTFORGOTFORW" Ready to catch each other by the throat, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote: This love feel I, that feel no love in this. For me, the ransom of my bold attempt O, had they in that darksome prison died! Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Giving my verdict on the white rose side. Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast, The king's late scruple, by the main assent Fie, fie, Gratiano! where are all the rest? Of that great shadow I did represent; Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Which Lion vile with bloody mouth did stain. DCCCLVIII - "HICHHETOILDTHE" His naked armour of still-slaughter'd lust, I do embrace your offer; and dispose Commanded always by the greater gust; Here feelingly she weeps Troy's painted woes: Here on my knee I beg mortality, Expecting in return twenty for one? That rage in savage sensuality. O gentle Aaron, we are all undone! It shall be so: I'll send her to my house, Leave me, or tarry, Edward will be king, Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: That sometime true news, sometime false doth bring, He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. DCCCLIX - "NHAPPYITHATLOV" Never so little show of love to her, He acts thy greatness in: and when he speaks, As notes whose faculties inclusive were Paris should do some vengeance on the Greeks: Particularities and petty sounds You that will follow me to this attempt, If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. And take you by the hand; but then you'll think-- The time when screech-owls cry and ban-dogs howl, Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? DCCCLX - "EANDAMBELOVEDW" Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve And may, through all the world: 'tis yours; and we, Now, sister, let us hear your firm resolve. Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee; As hating thee, are rising up in arms: May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath. By what you see them act. Is there not charms Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Look to thy bark: I'll not be long before Offers, as I do, in a sign of peace, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; What three things does drink especially provoke? DCCCLXI - "HEREIMAYNOTREM" Hath wisdom's warrant and the help of school Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. Entreat her not the worse in that I pray If she sustain him and his hundred knights, Mount them, and make incision in their hides, And dying eyes gleam'd forth their ashy lights, Your provost knows the place where he abides Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn Of all rejoindure, forcibly prevents To twinkle in their spheres till they return. Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Except it be to pray against thy foes. Most just and heavy causes make oppose. DCCCLXII - "OVENORBEREMOVE" One that rejoices in the common wreck, Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Each in his office ready at thy beck. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am O, God defend my soul from such deep sin! Religious in mine error, I adore But most it is presumption in us when Each changing place with that which goes before, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, My sword should bite it: not the dreadful spout O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. DCCCLXIII - "DLORDOFMYLOVET" Did ever love so dearly: let her live Look after him and cannot do him good, Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Dear lord, go you and greet him in his tent: O night, which ever art when day is not! For I have given here my soul's consent My nephew's trespass may be well forgot; You see how simple and how fond I am. Let me entreat, for I command no more, O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Thine eyes, sweet lady, have infected mine. DCCCLXIV - "OWHOMINVASSALA" Only for praise: and praise we may afford Withhold revenge, dear God! 'tis not my fault, Had not you come upon your cue, my lord O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. My mother told me just how he would woo, I saw't this morning: confident I am Now, afore God--God forbid I say true!-- Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? And pass my daughter a sufficient dower, Shall we go send them dinners and fresh suits So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? As if he pluck'd up kisses by the roots Like humble-visaged suitors, his high will. Ah, word ill urged to one that is so ill! DCCCLXV - "GETHYMERITHATH" Give me a note: your ladyship can set. Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Thou set'st the wolf where he the lamb may get; His insolence draws folly from my lips; Your vows to her and me, put in two scales, My part is youth, and beats these from the stage: Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! In all his dressings, characts, titles, forms, That place them on the truth of girls and boys. Here grow no damned grudges; here are no storms, Airy succeeders of intestate joys, That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. DCCCLXVI - "MYDUTYSTRONGLY" My discontented troops, and lay for hearts. You never spoke what did become you less Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess. That presses them and learns them first to bear, You're overthrown, you're undone for ever! So thou destroy Rapine and Murder there. Try many, all good, serve truly, never Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? O spite! too old to be engaged to young. No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. Go, go, you question with a wicked tongue. Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. DCCCLXVII - "KNITTOTHEEISEN" Keep yet their hearts attending on themselves, No more such wives; therefore, no wife: one worse, I will advise you where to plant yourselves; To free us from his father's wrathful curse, Thou fumblest, Eros; and my queen's a squire Of her confine. You should be rul'd, and led Take leave of thy old master and inquire Here one man's hand lean'd on another's head, Except some petty towns of no import: Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, I have been begging sixteen years in court, Sir, give him head; I know he'll prove a jade. Else would he never so demean himself. Never lacks power to dismiss itself. DCCCLXVIII - "DTHISWRITTENEM" Denied me to come in) return, and force To me she's married, not unto my clothes. He rush'd into my house and took perforce Into a thousand oaths; and all those oaths Shalt carry from me to the empress' sons When my poor heart no measure keeps in grief: Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! If this but answer to my just belief, This, in the name of God, I promise here: That may to thee do ease, and, race to me, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Ne'er look'd but on my back; when they shall see Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Most abject in regard and dear in use! DCCCLXIX - "BASSAGETOWITNE" By custom and the ordinance of times As now they are, and making practised smiles, Shalt have thy trespass cited up in rhymes, Say to her, we have measured many miles Affliction till it do cry out itself Go, take it up unto thy master's use. Engaging and redeeming of himself There is no composition in these news O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. With nothing trembles: at some thing it grieves, I do beseech you, as in way of taste, To the succeeding royalty he leaves Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. DCCCLXX - "SSDUTYNOTTOSHO" Shall seize one half his goods; the other half Should have kept short, restrain'd, and out of haunt Did gage them both in an unjust behalf, Under pretence to see the queen his aunt-- Therefore it behoves men to be wary. You use in abject and in slavish parts, No, to their lives bad friends were contrary. O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts; That you are well acquainted with yourself, That I should snarl and bite and play the dog. Of female favour, and bestows himself Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive and cog, Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! DCCCLXXI - "WMYWITDUTYSOGR" Wrapp'd and confounded in a thousand fears, My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear; Your eyes drop millstones, when fools' eyes drop tears: With one soft kiss a thousand furlongs ere I prithee go and get me some repast; To bear the tidings of calamity. Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast: Us friends; I will pursue the amity. To foster it, nor ever to preserve. You of my household, leave this peevish broil Shall better speak of you than you deserve. Of proofs new-bleeding, which remain'd the foil Good argument, I hope, we will not fly-- Richard, enough; I will be king, or die. DCCCLXXII - "EATWHICHWITSOP" Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard And dare upon the warrant of my note The duke was dumb and could not speak a word. Who in despite of view is pleased to dote; How some men creep in skittish fortune's hall, If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Cherish rebellion and are rebels all. How fares my brother? why is he so sad? With some more ducats, and be with you straight. I pledge your Grace; and if you knew what pains Tell him, I'll knock his leek about his pate Scratch thee but with a pin, and there remains Of both is flatter'd; but he neither loves, Pence apiece of Yead Miller, by these gloves. DCCCLXXIII - "OORASMINEMAYMA" Of princely fellows, shalt hereafter find Of seeming sorrow--it is sure your own. Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. And you, Achilles, let these threats alone, Should so profane the word, that taught me craft Madam, have comfort: all of us have cause In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, Nor it nor no remembrance what it was: Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Mort de ma vie! all is confounded, all! And both return back to their chairs again: Yet my good will is great, though the gift small. Myself your loyal servant, or endure And bid thy ceremony give thee cure! DCCCLXXIV - "KESEEMBAREINWA" Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair, Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Saucy and overbold? How did you dare Early and late, debating to and fro Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. My sea-gown scarf'd about me, in the dark Be happy that my arms are out of use: And when the fit was on him, I did mark Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. I did obey, and sent my peasant home Neither the king, nor he that loves him best, When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: And suck'd the honey which thy chaste bee kept. DCCCLXXV - "NTINGWORDSTOSH" Nimble mischance, that art so light of foot, Thus to retort your manifest appeal, I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Go, go, be gone, to save your ship from wreck, Wagg'd up and down, and from his lips did fly O, let me suffer, being at your beck, Rides on the posting winds and doth belie Deceived in thy integrity, deceived So will I turn her virtue into pitch, The fairest queen that ever king received. Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich She is beholding to thee, gentle youth. Harry the Fifth's the man. I speak the truth. DCCCLXXVI - "OWITBUTTHATIHO" O Nell, sweet Nell, if thou dost love thy lord, When our most learned doctors leave us and I was not born to die on Brutus' sword. The leaders, having charge from you to stand, But it reserv'd some quantity of choice Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown, The hollow passage of my poison'd voice, To visit other places; and come down Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. And to this purpose speak. Kings, princes, lords! To weep with them that weep doth ease some deal; I see these witches are afraid of swords. He will do all in all as Hastings doth. One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. DCCCLXXVII - "PESOMEGOODCONC" Please ye we may contrive this afternoon, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Say that before Ascension-day at noon Offer pure incense to so pure a shrine: Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Give the dozen white luces in their coat. Or at the least this refuge let me find; Or to dispraise my lord with that same tongue Doth want example: who hath read or heard Come, boy, and go with me: thy sight is young, O my good lord, the world is but a word: Nay, it shall ne'er be said, while England stands, Command thy son and daughter to join hands. DCCCLXXVIII - "EITOFTHINEINTH" England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. I'll be to Caesar; if thou pleasest not, The frame and huge foundation of the earth On 't, Jove; a foul fault! When gods have hot Full well I wot the ground of all this grudge: To lay on me a cruelty, by taking How much thou wrong'st me, heaven be my judge. I am supposed dead: the army breaking, No; let him die, in that he is a fox, Else with the like I had requited him. It were a better death than die with mocks, Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. That unassailable holds on his rank, How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! DCCCLXXIX - "YSOULSTHOUGHTA" You put sharp weapons in a madman's hands. Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, Upon his visage, and that all the walls Lord Hastings, you and he are near in love. Still did I tell him it was vile and bad. The anger of the king nor guilty of, Hold, hurt him not, for God's sake! he is mad. Of what is to continue: never mind Uproar the universal peace, confound Go muster men; but, hear you, leave behind He jests at scars that never felt a wound. Taking the measure of an unmade grave. A martial man to be soft fancy's slave! DCCCLXXX - "LLNAKEDWILLBES" Lo, what befell! He threw his eye aside, Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, Nor this I have not, brother, so denied, And they have served me to effectless use: Knows at what time to promise, when to pay. Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Doth teach that ease and that repose to say Without annoying me: and there were drawn I am undone: there is no living, none, Lo, this is all:--nay, yet depart not so; Loath to depose the child, Your brother's son; But what's the matter, Clarence? may I know? Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue! DCCCLXXXI - "TOWITTILLWHATS" That heaven's air in this huge rondure hems. One vice, but of a minute old, for one With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems, If you think fit, or that it may be done, The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: Therefore no more of it: hear other things. It is religion that doth make vows kept; Lest he that is the supreme King of kings Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch When on my three-foot stool I sit and tell His soldiers sick and famish'd in their march, A modern ecstasy; the dead man's knell Then prithee get thee gone. If for my sake Save thieves, and cares, and troubled minds, that wake. DCCCLXXXII - "OEVERSTARTHATG" Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Such as the shortness of the time can shape; There is a willow grows aslant a brook, And I'll direct thee how thou shalt escape Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live That he is bound to? Wife, thou art a fool. How I came by the crown, O God, forgive; And were they to be ruled, and not to rule, Tut, holy Joan was his defensive guard. Good day, my lord. What, at your book so hard? DCCCLXXXIII - "UIDESMYMOVINGP" Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, In daily thanks, that gave us such a prince; Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. March patiently along: let one be sent Your eyes, which hitherto have borne in them My mother is assailed in our tent, Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how I will myself into the pulpit first, Now, by my sceptre's awe, I make a vow, Go home with it and please your wife withal; Perhaps you mark'd not what's the pith of all. DCCCLXXXIV - "OINTSONMEGRACI" O, call back yesterday, bid time return, I thank thee for thy care and honest pains. Now, Kate, I am a husband for your turn; That with the very shaking of their chains Stand in the plague of custom, and permit Or any creeping venom'd thing that lives! No grave upon the earth shall clip in it Methinks they should invite them without knives; Expecting in return twenty for one? Good even, Casca: brought you Caesar home? Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. And brought to yoke, the enemies of Rome. Crave harbourage within your city walls. I did present him with the Paris balls. DCCCLXXXV - "OUSLYWITHFAIRA" O, that that earth which kept the world in awe Under an oak whose antique root peeps out Since that my case is past the help of law. Look on her, mark her well; be but about Your brother kings and monarchs of the earth What rubbish and what offal, when it serves In argument of praise, or to the worth Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with For me, if I be gored with Mowbray's spear: And therefore frolic; we will hence forthwith In murders and in outrage, boldly here; Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, And so once more return and tell his grace. DCCCLXXXVI - "SPECTANDPUTSAP" So offers he to give what she did crave; Presents that I intend to send them both: Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth Then both, or one, or anything thou wilt. And they shall find dear deer of us, my friends.

DCCCLXXXIX - "MEWORTHYOFTHYS" Most true it is that I have look'd on truth Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Whose tongue more poisons than the adder's tooth!

I Edge, sting, or operation, I am safe: Comfort my sister, cheer her, call her wife: These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe Thou art too noble to conserve a life He's a lamb indeed, that baes like a bear. Else would I very shortly see thee there. DCCCXCI - "NMAYIDARETOBOA" Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind; My unprovided body, lanch'd mine arm; And snatch 'em up, as we take hares, behind: You know an enemy intends you harm; If it be that, or any that was hers, Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns-- As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs, Romans, of five and twenty valiant sons, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Then marvel not, thou great and complete man, O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit But bring they what they will and what they can, On yon young boy: I'll tell thee what, my friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end.

My spirit can no longer bear these harms. Your worth is very dear in my regard. Here are the heads of thy two noble sons; Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Doubtless he shrives this woman to her smock; When as I met the boar, that bloody beast, He had of me a chain: at five o'clock Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? DCCCXCV - "THOUMAYSTPROVE" They can be meek that have no other cause. His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, O, sir, I find her milder than she was; Upon the winds command, bind them in brass, My mother greets me kindly; is she well?

DCCCXCVI - "MEWEARYWITHTOI" My name is Constance; I was Geffrey's wife; Even or odd, of all days in the year, Where noble fellows strike: war is no strife Ely with Richmond troubles me more near And put a barren sceptre in my gripe, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Yet fruits that blossom first will first be ripe: What, are you mad? I charge you, get you home. I would the fool were married to her grave! That, notwithstanding thy capacity Here to have death in peace is all he'll crave. They had such courage and audacity?

I hourly learn Hourly afflict: merely, thou art death's fool; This deed I'll do before this purpose cool. CM - "RAVELTIREDBUTT" Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. And we will fear no poison, which attends Visit the speechless sick and still converse Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host, The posture of your blows are yet unknown; I think this upstart is old Talbot's ghost, Return'd my letter back.

Good Master Vernon, I am bound to you, I rather of his absence make this use: No doubt, no doubt; and so shall Clarence too; Since you are strangers and come here by chance, Answer I must and shall do with my life. Jaques of Chatillon, admiral of France; O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? Unclasp'd my practise, quit his fortunes here, Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? CMII - "NEYINMYHEADTOW" Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad Eternal numbers to outlive long date. You have no children, butchers! if you had, I have some marks of yours upon my pate, No, my good lord; I met him back again. Mann'd with three hundred men, as I have heard; You can say none of this: well, grant it then He dies, we lose; I break my warlike word; Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. And when my knightly stomach is sufficed, Devoured by the unexpected flood. Through all the kingdoms that acknowledge Christ: Or lowly factor for another's gain; When think you that the sword goes up again? CMIII - "ORKMYMINDWHENB" O, in this love, you love your child so ill, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Knowing all measures, the full Caesar will More than in women commonly is seen, You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha! My manors, rents, revenues I forego; Idly supposed the founder of this law; Nor to her bed no homage do I owe Defence absence. What beast couldst thou be, that Whose hand is that the forest bear doth lick? Her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat, Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Nor no one here; for curses never pass But how long fairly shall her sweet lie last? CMIV - "ODYSWORKSEXPIR" Of this most grievous guilty murder done! Draws the sweet infant breath of gentle sleep; Yet not the son; I will not call him son So sweet was ne'er so fatal.

Perdition catch my soul, Painting my age with beauty of thy days. I shall be reconciled to him again. Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. CMV - "EDFORTHENMYTHO" Expecting in return twenty for one? Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: Flourishes, and a poor maid is undone. O, if you raise this house against this house, Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. Thou seem'st not what thou art, a god, a king; Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Nor tempt the danger of my true defence; My speech and what is done, tell him he has Yet with the fault I thus far can dispense; Tell me how Wales was made so happy as Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. Or ill-beseeming beast in seeming both! CMVI - "UGHTSFROMFARWH" Unto a view so false will not incline; Go in, and weep not; all things shall be well. He show'd his warrant to a friend of mine: To noise abroad that Harry Monmouth fell Sorry I am my noble cousin should For exile hath more terror in his look, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Must be provided for: and you shall put For lovers say, the heart hath treble wrong And 'tis this fever that keeps Troy on foot, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Which she hath praised him with above compare Hold out my horse, and I will first be there. CMVII - "EREIABIDEINTEN" Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Rather, lost more. And by this hand I swear, Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. I'll prove it on his body, if he dare, A second night of such sweet shortness which Bound to himself! what doth he with a bond It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, Each Trojan that is master of his heart, If I say sooth, I must report they were Neither of these are so bad as thou art, That this remotion of the Duke and her East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. CMVIII - "DAZEALOUSPILGR" Died he not in his bed? where should he die? And make me happy in your unity. Zounds, where thou wilt, lad; I'll make one; an I Embrace we then this opportunity And make a riot on the gentle brow Lives almost by his looks; and for myself,- O, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now! Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So puts himself unto the shipman's toil, Papers of state he sent me to peruse, If virtue's gloss will stain with any soil, Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, Good uncle, let this end where it begun; Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. CMIX - "IMAGETOTHEEAND" If ever sat at any good man's feast, Makes him speak fondly, like a frantic man As doth a raven on a sick-fall'n beast, Got! thou hast got more hair on thy chin than End in one purpose, and be all well borne There lives more life in one of your fair eyes O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! That names me traitor, villain-like he lies. His hand, that yet remains upon her breast,-- Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Excepting one, I would he were the best A largess universal like the sun Nay, let it rest where it began at first. Dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst. CMX - "KEEPMYDROOPING" Knocks at my heat and whispers in mine ear Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Even or odd, of all days in the year, Past hope, and in despair; that way, past grace. More than his singularity, he goes Your oath once broke, you force not to forswear. Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. Rather than have that savage duke thine heir O, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: Out of the bloody fingers' ends of John. Proud can I never be of what I hate; I am the cygnet to this pale faint swan, Nay, then he should be blind; and, being blind God keep your lordship in that gracious mind! CMXI - "EYELIDSOPENWID" England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. You spurn'd me such a day; another time Either for life or death, upon the earth Losing his verdure even in the prime Into the chamber wickedly he stalks, Dumain was at my service, and his sword: Speak softly; yonder, as I think, he walks. Old John of Gaunt is grievous sick, my lord, Pride, haughtiness, opinion and disdain: Either to die the death or to abjure Nay, be not angry; I am pleased again. When I protest true loyalty to her, If he were putting to my house the brand Darraign your battle, for they are at hand. CMXII - "ELOOKINGONDARK" Effect it with some care, that he may prove Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. O that my prayers could such affection move! On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Know him I shall, I am well sure of it: Is not infected: but if one present Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. God hold it, to your honour's good content! Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, Not like to me, or any of my kin, Did he so often lodge in open field, And proofs as clear as founts in July when Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore Keeps good old York there with his men of war? CMXIII - "NESSWHICHTHEBL" Nathaniel's coat, sir, was not fully made, Else would he never so demean himself. Sir, give him head; I know he'll prove a jade. So many hours must I sport myself; What maintenance he from his friends receives, He rouseth up himself and makes a pause; In limited professions. Rascal thieves, Clip dead men's graves and from their misty jaws Her stand she takes upon a steep-up hill: True, madam, none at all: what call you this? Hates any man the thing he would not kill? Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Been sworn my soldier, bidding me depend Lady, will you walk about with your friend? CMXIV - "INDDOSEESAVETH" If it be not, then love doth well denote Now, like a man of steel. You that will fight, Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat Dead shepherd, now I find thy saw of might: Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. Sent from a sort of tinkers to the king. Either they must be dieted like mules Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Shall seize one half his goods; the other half Affection's edge in me, were she as rough Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: They say King John sore sick hath left the field. Henry is youthful and will quickly yield. CMXV - "ATMYSOULSIMAGI" Against the wind a mile! You souls of geese, That I was sent for nothing but a rope! More measure of this measure; be not nice. You will not do't for all the world, I hope. Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Of mine own kindred: when I waked, I found Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Like to a bowl upon a subtle ground, Stands in attainder of eternal shame: I cannot tell; but this I am assured, My death's revenge, thy youth, and England's fame: And now, to tempt, all liberty procured. Go to, we pardon thee: therefore, in brief, It shall be eased, if France can yield relief. CMXVI - "NARYSIGHTPRESE" No! why? When he that is my husband now A choking gall and a preserving sweet. Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, You that will be less fearful than discreet, Sunshine and rain at once: her smiles and tears I must unto the road, to disembark Go great with tigers, dragons, wolves, and bears; Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! That holds in chase mine honour up and down? Puts my apparel and my count'nance on, Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Shall never leak, though it do work as strong Else had she with her father rang'd along. CMXVII - "NTSTHYSHADOWTO" Now forth, lord constable and princes all, That tends to vice in man, but I affirm Summon their general unto the wall. The gilded newt and eyeless venom'd worm, His valour, coin and people, in the wars? You sent me to the bay, sir, for a bark. Sail like my pinnace to these golden shores. Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! And Humphrey with the peers be fall'n at jars: Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea, Of Hymen's purest bed! thou valiant Mars! Which thou supposest I have done to thee. That spits forth death and mountains, rocks and seas, O monstrous! what reproachful words are these? CMXVIII - "MYSIGHTLESSVIE" Mine hair be fixed on end, as one distract; Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve Since he's so great can make his will his act, If with a lady of so high resolve Gazing on that which seems to dim thy sight? Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. To wring the widow from her custom'd right, Lend me thy cloak, Sir Thomas. Brothers both, Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death. Sweet honey and sweet notes together fail. Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; I am most joyful, madam, such good dreams Extremity still urgeth such extremes. CMXIX - "WWHICHLIKEAJEW" Where a malignant and a turban'd Turk What I should do again for such a sake. Here's a good world! Knew you of this fair work? In my oration, how the people take Come, is the bride ready to go to church? Has done no more than other knights have done; Lead to the Sagittary the raised search; Is my name Talbot? and am I your son? Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. And we will fear no poison, which attends Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: With hard bright steel and hearts harder than steel. CMXX - "ELHUNGINGHASTL" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Let two more summers wither in their pride, Her aid she promised and assured success: Using those thoughts which should indeed have died No face is fair that is not full so black. Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. I could prevent this storm and shun thy wrack! No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Get the learned writer to set down our Hope, sir, if you thrive, you'll remember from And bid her steal into the pleached bower, So from that spring whence comfort seem'd to come This part of his conjoins with my disease Let's step into the shadow of these trees. CMXXI - "YNIGHTMAKESBLA" Your love deserves my thanks; but my desert Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert; Go, base intruder! overweening slave! Hence, get thee gone, and follow me no more. Then pause not; for the present time's so sick, More than, I fear, you are provided for. And let thy misty vapours march so thick, Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell! Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Shrunk to this little measure? Fare thee well. Batter his skull, or paunch him with a stake, Lend me thy hand, and I will give thee mine. And make my image but an alehouse sign. CMXXII - "CKNIGHTBEAUTEO" Clap on more sails; pursue; up with your fights: Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise None that beheld him, but, like lesser lights, If you'll confess he brought home noble prize-- Gracious triumpher in the eyes of Rome! His going I could frame to serve my turn, These that I bring unto their latest home, But that which gives my soul the greatest spurn, Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Although, my lord, I know my noble aunt Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails Then Warwick disannuls great John of Gaunt, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Or, if you show your face, you must not speak. CMXXIII - "USANDHEROLDFAC" Until her husband and my lord's return: Sirrah, I will not bear these braves of thine. And thou shalt see how apt it is to learn Nor thou, nor he, are any sons of mine; Do appear, to make the world twice rich. Live, Hither return all gilt with Frenchmen's blood; Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Only, good master, while we do admire Live here in heaven and may look on her; Doth too too oft betake him to retire, Find no determination: then you were And God, not we, hath plagued thy bloody deed. Can the son's eye behold his father bleed? CMXXIV - "ENEWLOTHUSBYDA" Every man shift for all the rest, and Not pocket up wrong: art thou not ashamed? Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, Let me, upon my knee, prevail in this. Or failing so, yet that I put the Moor To try his strength, forsaketh yet the lists He dies to me again when talk'd of: sure, Upon the slime and ooze scatters his grain, Shall seize one half his goods; the other half But like a stormy day, now wind, now rain, Yes, madam: yet I cannot choose but laugh, Deliver them, and your appeal to us And bring me their opinions of success. CMXXV - "YMYLIMBSBYNIGH" Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth; Makes vow before his uncle never more You're servant to the Count Orsino, youth. Let those whom Nature hath not made for store, I could have well diverted her intents, My health and happy being at your court. Big discontent so breaking their contents. Say I am dancing; if in mirth, report By his blunt bearing he will keep his word, You were advis'd his flesh was capable Nay, if thou be that princely eagle's bird, Is not your father grown incapable Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath: Here was a royal fellowship of death! CMXXVI - "TMYMINDFORTHEE" To melt the city leads upon your pates, Men are but gilded loam or painted clay. You men of Angiers, open wide your gates, Myself hath often over-heard them say, It would be much vexation to your age. No matter where; of comfort no man speak: Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Forget that rarest treasure of your cheek, O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Have by the very cunning of the scene Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Envy the great nor do the low despise. CMXXVII - "ANDFORMYSELFNO" As dear be to thee as thy father was. Not worth the time of day. It pierced me through; Depose him in the justice of his cause. Faith, I must leave thee, love, and shortly too; Or to the place of diff'rence call the swords Run to my Lord of Suffolk; let him know Mock not my senseless conjuration, lords: You shall not choose but drink before you go; Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; Except it be to pray against thy foes. Like to the earth swallow her own increase. For, like an ass whose back with ingots bows, Nor pluck it from his finger, for the wealth Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. CMXXVIII - "QUIETFINDHOWCA" Quit all offences with as clear excuse Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! I rather of his absence make this use: Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws, For your good host. Pray that the right may thrive. It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. No longer yours than you yourself here live: Deny thy father and refuse thy name; He did solicit you in free contempt Or teach thy hasty spleen to do me shame, Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, Comes from my love. But I do see you're moved: And like a mountain, not to be removed. CMXXIX - "NITHENRETURNIN" Nay, but make haste; the better foot before. I pray thee, Jack, I pray thee, do not draw. Thou sayest true, i' faith, so they must; for your He is not with himself; let us withdraw. Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Nay, let it rest where it began at first. Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, That him and his they in his palace burn; Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Ready to go, but never to return. Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Implored your highness' pardon and set forth No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. CMXXX - "HAPPYPLIGHTTHA" He has no children. All my pretty ones? Ay, and it makes men hate one another. Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons, Presence must be the whip of the other. You live in this, and dwell in lover's eyes. Proud of employment, willingly I go. Like a fine bragging youth, and tell quaint lies, In thee't had been good service. Thou must know, Good morrow, sir. You lay out too much pains He and his lady both are at the lodge Their warlike fraughtage: now on Dardan plains To the young man send humble treaties, dodge Had I but served my God with half the zeal And in my temper soften'd valour's steel! CMXXXI - "TAMDEBARRDTHEB" Thy brother's blood the thirsty earth hath drunk, And threw the sops all in the sexton's face, My ransom is this frail and worthless trunk, Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! Ere such another Julius. Britain is But to my mind, though I am native here And the nobility of Rome are his: Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. Do rush upon us as their hungry prey. This deed I'll do before this purpose cool. How is't, my soul? let's talk; it is not day. Else would I very shortly see thee there. But I will have them, if I once know where. CMXXXII - "ENEFITOFRESTWH" Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, No, no; he cannot long hold out these pangs. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon For in my gallery thy picture hangs: I gave bold way to my authority Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Oh, he is young and his minority For at Saint Mary's chapel presently Reply not in how many fathoms deep Expect him here: when he shall come and find So I were out of prison and kept sheep, That was not forced; that never was inclined With nimble soles: I have a soul of lead Here is a silly stately style indeed! CMXXXIII - "ENDAYSOPPRESSI" Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Nor ever had one penny bribe from France. Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. And, for an onset, Titus, to advance You said the enemy would not come down, Sir Toby Belch! how now, Sir Toby Belch! Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Peace, I say, Gallia and Gaul, French and Welsh, Pardon me, wife. Henceforth do what thou wilt; Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, England shall double gild his treble guilt; Since thou dost deign to woo her little worth So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. In this the madman justly chargeth them. CMXXXIV - "ONISNOTEASEDBY" Out of your grace, devise, ordain, impose Not with the empty hollowness, but weight: It is not so with Him that all things knows Seditious to his grace and to the state. No, to their lives bad friends were contrary. O, she is rich in beauty, only poor, Therefore it behoves men to be wary. Exposing what is mortal and unsure And take your ring again; 'tis not yet won: So is the time that keeps you as my chest, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Do with your injuries as seems you best, But did you not request to have it cut? You speak, Lord Mowbray, now you know not what. CMXXXV - "NIGHTBUTDAYBYN" No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, Go on before; I shall inquire you forth: Hang them or stab them, drown them in a draught, Themselves all men of hair, they call themselves Brother, she is not worth what she doth cost Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Thou mayst co-join with something; and thou dost, Descended of so many royal kings. And, blushing with him, wistly on him gazed; You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! Bear with me cousin, for I was amazed Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels, Nay, and you will not, sir, I'll take my heels. CMXXXVI - "IGHTANDNIGHTBY" I'll hunt with him; and let them be received, God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Hath motion and mine eye may be deceived: Tell me how Wales was made so happy as And here ye lie baiting of bombards, when Nay, stay not to expostulate, make speed; Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. Not to be gone from hence; for once I read I prithee, do not strive against my vows: Good madam, what's the matter with my lord? Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. Thou shalt be worshipp'd, kiss'd, loved and adored! But she is arm'd for him and keeps her guard Your worth is very dear in my regard. CMXXXVII - "DAYOPPRESSDAND" Do use to chant it: it is silly sooth, And that be heir to his unhappiness! Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth; Of all say'd yet, I wish thee happiness! Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand. Pales in the flood with men, with wives and boys, Regard me as I do not flatter, and Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. She sinketh down, still hanging by his neck, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. And they have troops of soldiers at their beck? No; though thou call'st thyself a hotter name Dim register and notary of shame! CMXXXVIII - "EACHTHOUGHENEM" Endue you with the people's voice: remains And groaning underneath this age's yoke, Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: He solemnly had sworn, that what he spoke Than doth become a man. I will remain How poor Andromache shrills her dolours forth! Of hope, not longing, mine Italian brain Under the lordly monarch of the north, Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands. Hath doubtfully pronounced thy throat shall cut, England, impatient of your just demands, Nothing, my lord: or if--I know not what. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Mistress Ford: we will thrive, lads, we will thrive. CMXXXIX - "IESTOEITHERSRE" I grieve to hear what torments you endured, Exampled by the first pace that is sick She's such a one, that, were I well assured That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. Oh, he is young and his minority Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; I gave bold way to my authority To meet displeasure farther from the doors, How many times shall Caesar bleed in sport, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Some loathsome dash the herald will contrive, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Else had she with her father rang'd along. CMXL - "IGNDOINCONSENT" In argument and proof of which contract, Go, get thee gone, thou false deluding slave, Now puts the drowsy and neglected act Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? O god of love! I know he doth deserve I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give; No doubt they rose up early to observe Create her child of spleen, that it may live Of the death-practis'd Duke, For him 'tis well No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. She's, like a liar, gone to burning hell: Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn To twinkle in their spheres till they return. CMXLI - "SHAKEHANDSTOTO" So full of artless jealousy is guilt How angerly I taught my brow to frown, And ask of Cymbeline what boon thou wilt, Keep my need up, and faith is trodden down! Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Have placed me in this sty, where, since I came, Away, you three-inch fool! I am no beast. Now she adds honours to his hateful name; Doth my name lodge? tell me, that I may sack Seal up the mouth of outrage for a while, Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back, O thou well skill'd in curses, stay awhile, To greet a man not worth her pains, much less Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us. CMXLII - "RTUREMETHEONEB" Reward to him that brings the traitor in? The stars, I see, will kiss the valleys first: Upon this promise did he raise his chin, Return and tell him so: we know the worst. Extorted treasure in the womb of earth My Lord of York will still be cross in talk: England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, His company must do his minions grace, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: O Tamora! thou bear'st a woman's face,-- No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff. Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Brothers, you muse what chat we two have had. CMXLIII - "YTOILTHEOTHERT" You came not of one mother then, it seems. Then how, when nature calls thee to be gone, O vanity of sickness! fierce extremes In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! This blended knight, half Trojan and half Greek. Have uncontemn'd gone by him, or at least Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Or, wanting strength to do thee so much good, Thou other gold-bound brow, is like the first. He lives that loves thee better than he could. Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us That makes me reasonless to reason thus? CMXLIV - "OCOMPLAINHOWFA" O, spare me not, my brother Edward's son, Create her child of spleen, that it may live Officers, what offence have these men done? My faith and this the princess I did give: Point against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm. Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, And reason flies the object of all harm: Indeed, I am no mourner for that news, Nay, but make haste; the better foot before. He had the wit which I can well observe Or let me die, to look on death no more! Whose dear perfection hearts that scorn'd to serve For I will make him tell the tale anew, Above the moon: we must be burnt for you. CMXLV - "RITOILSTILLFAR" Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. In time I may believe, yet I mistrust. To link my dear friend to a common stale. Only compound me with forgotten dust; In at his window; set this up with wax Lest I surcease to honour mine own truth Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. To keep her constancy in plight and youth, In quantity equals not one of yours: Lady, give me your hand, and, as we walk, Long since thy husband served me in my wars, For now I stand as one upon a rock And, in this upshot, purposes mistook Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. CMXLVI - "THEROFFFROMTHE" Than the constraint of hospitable zeal He is your brother, lords, sensibly fed Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, For I will throw my glove to Death himself, For I can here disarm thee with this stick For loving where you do: but if yourself, Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Opinion, that did help me to the crown, My sacred aunt, should by my mortal sword That thee may furnish and my prayers pluck down, He never can meet more mischance than come Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? CMXLVII - "EITELLTHEDAYTO" Each in his office ready at thy beck. I am afraid to think what I have done; This done, he took the bride about the neck, Expecting in return twenty for one? Lo, as the bark, that hath discharged her fraught, Loseth his pride and never waxeth strong. That the poor soldier that so richly fought, How long shall I be patient? ah, how long Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Doth my name lodge? tell me, that I may sack And he my husband best of all affects. Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. Therefore I do it; and I make no doubt O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! CMXLVIII - "PLEASETHEMTHOU" Prunes the immortal wing and cloys his beak, Lord Angelo? they have confessed you did. Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, And therefore do they cry, though you forbid, Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps. Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet To bring him here alone; although perhaps Had witchcraft in't. He grew unto his seat, Either of king or council, when you went More bright in zeal than the devotion which The Romans plausibly did give consent He is gone happy, and has left me rich: Only for bearing burdens, and sore blows Upon whose faith and honour I repose. CMXLIX - "ARTBRIGHTANDDO" A sister driven into desp'rate terms, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. But be it as it may: I here entail Rely upon it till my tale be heard, In russet yeas and honest kersey noes: Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word His goods confiscate to the duke's dispose, They clip us drunkards and with swinish phrase Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays? Debts wither 'em to nothing; be men like Doth fat me with the very thoughts of it! Once more I'll read the ode that I have writ. CML - "STHIMGRACEWHEN" She may, I think, bestow't on any man. To put good meat into an unclean dish. He was as calm as virtue--he began I cry you mercy, sir; and well could wish My friends were poor, but honest; so's my love: Great Mars, I put myself into thy file: Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Am I a queen in title and in style, Caesar and Antony have ever won Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. We are to reap the harvest of his son. Harp not on that string, madam; that is past. Edward and Clarence. O, what cause have I, Never, my lord; therefore prepare to die. CMLI - "CLOUDSDOBLOTTH" Corrupting in its own fertility. Leaving the fight in height, flies after her: Out of my lean and low ability Unspeak mine own detraction, here abjure Dear, trouble not yourself: the morn is cold. Sheathed unaware the tusk in his soft groin. Dearer than Plutus' mine, richer than gold: O, two such silver currents, when they join, Bless him at home in peace, whilst I from far Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! Treason, my lord! Lavinia is surprised! The honourable board of council out, His looks I fear, and his intents I doubt. CMLII - "EHEAVENSOFLATT" Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: He is but one: you and my brother search End in a word: such is the breath of kings. And am not I a prelate of the church? Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Except it be to pray against thy foes. No! why? When he that is my husband now So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, O sacred receptacle of my joys, From London by the king was I press'd forth; Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; And, after John of Gaunt, Henry the Fourth, That I, in forgery of shapes and tricks, To hover on the dreadful shore of Styx? CMLIII - "ERITHESWARTCOM" Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Rising and cawing at the gun's report, I am more proud to be Sir Rowland's son, Takes on the point of honour to support How like the prodigal doth she return, Either of king or council, when you went Since frost itself as actively doth burn, Will be some danger; which for to prevent, And when it hath the thing it hunteth most, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. That, though the truth of it stands off as gross Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose Or mangled shalt thou be by this my sword. Make peace with God, for you must die, my lord. CMLIV - "PLEXIONDNIGHTW" Perchance you think too much of so much pains? Lest it should ravel and be good to none, Endue you with the people's voice: remains eXpecting in return twenty for one?

Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? I pray, awake, sir. If you love the maid, Good for their meat, and safer for their lives. He would not stay at your petitions: made The other lords, like lions wanting food, Which he hath left so shapeless and so rude. CMLV - "HENSPARKLINGST" Had all your quarters been as safely kept Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; No, when my father York and Edward wept, Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar Poor and content is rich and rich enough, Amazed, my lord? why looks your highness sad? Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Knave; that's, before me thou'rt a knave: this had Let me have open means to come to them, I jest to Oberon and make him smile No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Great Mars, I put myself into thy file: Shall never leak, though it do work as strong That hast such noble sense of thy friend's wrong! CMLVI - "ARSTWIRENOTTHO" Are idly bent on him that enters next, Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; So much against the mettle of your sex, This prince in justice seizeth but his own. Would suffer him to spend his youth at home, In my good brother's fault: I know not why Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Either to get the town again or die: No bargains break that are not this day made: Of what conditions we shall stand upon? Thy sin's not accidental, but a trade. To stir men's blood: I only speak right on; He ten times pines that pines beholding food; O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! CMLVII - "UGILDSTTHEEVEN" Unto a dunghill which shall be thy grave, Good madam, if by me you'll be advised, I'll to the Centaur, to go seek this slave: Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: Darest with thy frozen admonition So will I turn her virtue into pitch, Truly to speak, and with no addition, The use of your own virtues, for the which Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Even for this let us divided live, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Every man shift for all the rest, and No if thou dost say 'no' to my demand. CMLVIII - "BUTDAYDOTHDAIL" Be it thy course to busy giddy minds Under love's heavy burden do I sink. To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, Did not attend him as we rode? I think And, knowing whom it was their hap to save, Youngling, learn thou to make some meaner choice: Despite of death that lives upon my grave, O, good my lord, tax not so bad a voice The commonwealth hath daily run to wreck; He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, And when my face is fair, you shall perceive I will perform it to enfranchise you. Live cleanly as a nobleman should do. CMLIX - "YDRAWMYSORROWS" You stand upon the ravage and behold Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, A shallow plash to plunge him in the deep, Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, Makes me with heavy nothing faint and shrink. You that will follow me to this attempt, Strengthen'd with what apology you think O wretched state! O bosom black as death! Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Why whisper you, my lords, and answer not? So great a day as this is cheaply bought. CMLX - "LONGERANDNIGHT" Look you, I love you well; I'll give you gold, Of either's colour was the other queen, Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, Gifts of rich value.

Doth too too oft betake him to retire, No doubt, my liege, if each man do his best.

CMLXI - "DOTHNIGHTLYMAK" Detest them, curse them: yet 'tis greater skill Of great Northumberland, whose bosom burns To any tongue, speak it of what it will.

How came her eyes so bright? Not with salt tears: To walk abroad, and recreate yourselves. Lend me the letter; let me see what news. Your eldest daughters have fordone themselves, My ring away.

CMLXII - "EGRIEFSSTRENGT" Either of king or council, when you went Gave me my being and my father first, Repair'd with double riches of content. Is Clarence dead? the order was reversed.

To let the troop pass fairly; or I'll find Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, No, madam, no; I may not leave it so: God keep you from them, and from such false friends! Tell me whereon the likelihood depends. CMLXIII - "HSEEMSTRONGERW" He would have dropp'd his knife, and fell asleep Shall touch the people--which time shall not want, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Each cheek a river running from a fount Medea gather'd the enchanted herbs Since why to love I can allege no cause. The way it takes, cracking ten thousand curbs Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Of this his nephew's purpose, to suppress Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, Go with the princes, or stay here with us? Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Who, if it wink, shall thereon fall and die. CMLXIV - "HENINDISGRACEW" He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge Except it be to pray against thy foes. Nature in you stands on the very verge It shall become thee well to act my woes; Never hung poison on a fouler toad. Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, I must have patience to endure the load: Sir, sooth to say, you did not dine at home. Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; Ready to catch each other by the throat, And got a calf in that same noble feat Cause the musicians play me that sad note Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. What love, think'st thou, I sue so much to get? CMLXV - "ITHFORTUNEANDM" In sooth, I would you were a little sick, Than when these fellows ran about the streets, He hath a garden circummured with brick, Fair maid, is't thou wilt do these wondrous feats? O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell, Remember me at court; where I was taught These are their tutors. Bid them use them well. Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought Nor hast thou pleasure to be cross in talk; Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: And there repose: a turn or two I'll walk, Never durst poet touch a pen to write Dispersed those vapours that offended us; My liege! my lord! but now a king, now thus. CMLXVI - "ENSEYESIALLALO" Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Neglected my sworn duty in that case. Standing on slippers, which his nimble haste Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! Eternal numbers to outlive long date. She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, I like you, lads; about your business straight; And treasure of my loins; then if I would Let's have your company, or, if you please, Lest it be said 'Speak, sirrah, when you should; And made me almost yield upon my knees. Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill; O, know he is the bridle of your will. CMLXVII - "NEBEWEEPMYOUTC" Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; But what o' that? Go, you that banish'd him; Exampled by the first pace that is sick With hearts create of duty and of zeal. Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Peace, Trojan; lay thy finger on thy lips! Me and my service, ever whilst I live, You give away this hand, and that is mine; Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Unto a view so false will not incline; Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Come you to seek the lamb here of the fox? CMLXVIII - "ASTSTATEANDTRO" As knots, by the conflux of meeting sap, She touch'd no unknown baits, nor fear'd no hooks; Then, Pistol, lay thy head in Furies' lap. See if thou canst outface me with thy looks: Than a wild dedication of yourselves And in the pulpit, as becomes a friend, Thoughts tending to content flatter themselves Each hath his place and function to attend: Against the panting sides of his poor jade Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid These famish'd beggars, weary of their lives; Razing the characters of your renown, O me, my heart, my rising heart! But down! CMLXIX - "UBLEDEAFHEAVEN" Upon the instant that she was accused, But cannot make my heart consent to take Let them not cease, but with a din confused Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Dissolves to water and doth lose his form. Except a sword or sceptre balance it: And now, forsooth, takes on him to reform From earth's dark womb some gentle gust doth get, He dies to me again when talk'd of: sure, Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, And bid thy ceremony give thee cure! Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Nay, let it rest where it began at first. CMLXX - "WITHMYBOOTLESS" Was falsely borne in hand, sends out arrests If she unmask her beauty to the moon. The whilst their own birds famish in their nests: He was but as the cuckoo is in June, More upon humour than advised respect. You are the king King Edward hath deposed; Base men, that use them to so base effect! Of things to come at large. It is supposed Or I am mad, or else this is a dream: That may repeat and history his los Levied an army, weening to redeem Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Seducing so my friends; and, to this end, Shame serves thy life and doth thy death attend. CMLXXI - "CRIESANDLOOKUP" Cast none away. That I shall clear myself, Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick In your lord's scale is nothing but himself, Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect As little is the wisdom, where the flight Nor construe any further my neglect, Dark needs no candles now, for dark is light. Left and abandoned of his velvet friends: Once more, adieu: be valiant, and speed well! O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell! Under his own vine, what he plants; and sing Pluck'd in the bud, and vaded in the spring! CMLXXII - "ONMYSELFANDCUR" O Fate! take not away thy heavy hand. Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; Methinks the wind hath spoke aloud at land; Yes, I do know him well, and common speech So like you, 'tis the worse. Behold, my lords, Environed with all these hideous fears? Let them want nothing that my house affords. France, thou shalt rue this treason with thy tears, And, by device, let blockish Ajax draw No, truly; it is more than manners will: Did, as a prophet, weep what it foresaw Cannot be cured by words; therefore be still. Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? CMLXXIII - "SEMYFATEWISHIN" Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Except a sword or sceptre balance it: My purse, my person, my extremest means, You know I am a woman, lacking wit Father, what news? what is the prince's doom? And have no more of life than may suffice That for thyself: I will not so presume Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take Is this the poultice for my aching bones? Sayest thou so, old Jack? go thy ways; I'll make Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones If he be old enough, what needs your grace Never came poison from so sweet a place. CMLXXIV - "GMELIKETOONEMO" Good night, good rest. Ah, neither be my share: Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! Except mine own name: that some whirlwind bear Like to Lysander sometime frame thy tongue, I cry thee mercy then, for I had thought Kneel down and take my blessing, good my girl. Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought The intertissued robe of gold and pearl, O, that your young nobility could judge O monstrous beast, how like a swine he lies! Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, My love with words and errors still she feeds; O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! CMLXXV - "RERICHINHOPEFE" Religious in mine error, I adore Expire before the flowers in their caps, Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore Into the staggers and the careless lapse Cannot a plain man live and think no harm, Hop forty paces through the public street; I pray you, will you take him by the arm? No word like 'pardon' for kings' mouths so meet. How tame, when men and women are alone, O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide, Plead on her part some cause to you unknown: Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. For shame, you generals! what do you mean? Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. CMLXXVI - "ATUREDLIKEHIML" All preparation for a bloody siege They shoot but calm words folded up in smoke, Unless for that he comes to be your liege, Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Envy your great deservings and good name, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, Indeed the top of admiration! worth Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought How well my comfort is revived by this! If you keep covenant. Had I not brought Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time? Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. CMLXXVII - "IKEHIMWITHFRIE" Is all the counsel that we two have shared, Know, gentle wench, it small avails my mood: Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Her elder sister is so curst and shrewd I never robb'd the soldiers of their pay, My wasting lamps some fading glimmer left, We may effect this business yet ere day. I think his understanding is bereft. The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade Has deserved prison, then abound in tears For here he doth demand to have repaid Ram thou thy fruitful tidings in mine ears, I thank thee, good Tubal: good news, good news! Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. CMLXXVIII - "NDSPOSSESSDDES" No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. Disasters in the sun; and the moist star So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Purpose return. Why hast thou gone so far, O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, Shall seize this prey out of his father's hands. Should be shut up, hear what Ulysses speaks. England, impatient of your just demands, So wish I, I might thrust thy soul to hell. Sweat in this business and maintain this war? Did young Lorenzo swear he loved her well, Do not draw back your hand; I'll take no more; Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; So now, fair prince of Troy, I bid good night. CMLXXIX - "IRINGTHISMANSA" I know I am too mean to be your queen, Remains in danger of her former tooth. I mean the Earl of Wiltshire, Bushy, Green. No, faith, young Troilus; doff thy harness, youth; Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: That he should be my fool and I his fate. How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, It pleas'd the King his master very late Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What! My liege, I'll knock once more to summon them. And that you not delay the present, but, No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Since night you loved me; yet since night you left And useth it to patronage his theft. CMLXXX - "RTANDTHATMANSS" Rely upon it till my tale be heard, The repetition cannot make it less; A weak bond holds you: I'll not trust your word. No, I defy all counsel, all redress, Doth my name lodge? tell me, that I may sack The noisome weeds, which without profit suck He might return to vasty Tartar back, And with a sudden reinforcement struck The sun will set before I shall discharge Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks And, ere I part with thee, confer at large Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks, Shall we hear from thee, Tyrrel, ere we sleep? So dear I loved the man, that I must weep. CMLXXXI - "COPEWITHWHATIM" Courage and comfort! all shall yet go well. Or overthrow incurable ensues. Proud and ambitious tribune, canst thou tell? Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Wherein the pregnant enemy does much. In no less working than are swords and bows To nature none more bound; his training such, Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. With honour of his birthright to the crown. Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff; A hundred marks, my Kate does put her down. To bear the matter thus; mere weakness. If In his descent than shall my prompted sword Make peace with God, for you must die, my lord. CMLXXXII - "OSTENJOYCONTEN" Off with that bauble, throw it underfoot. Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green. The cedar stoops not to the base shrub's foot, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Justice, sweet prince, against that woman there! One poor retiring minute in an age Yield to his humour, smooth and speak him fair, Come not near him. If thou wouldst not reside One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods Neglect him not; make use now, and provide That ever Timon was. Shame not these woods, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Nor to his service no such joy on earth. CMLXXXIII - "TEDLEASTYETINT" To do your pleasure and continue friends. Either to get the town again or die: Do, chapels had been churches and poor men's Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, Ere such another Julius. Britain is Alas, this is a child, a silly dwarf! Smiles at her news, while Warwick frowns at his. That rots itself in ease on Lethe wharf, You will not do't for all the world, I hope. Each heart in Rome does love and pity you: To business with the King, more than the scope If it appear not plain and prove untrue, Nor friends nor foes, to me welcome you are: That two such noble peers as ye should jar! CMLXXXIV - "HESETHOUGHTSMY" How with mine honour may I give him that Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Some, that are mad if they behold a cat; Edward the Third, he bids you then resign This palpable-gross play hath well beguiled His eye begets occasion for his wit; O child! O child! my soul, and not my child! Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, Good time of day unto my gracious lord! Have banged the youth into dumbness. This was The purest treasure mortal times afford She's a good creature, and, sweet lady, does Made me neglect my studies, lose my time, You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. CMLXXXV - "SELFALMOSTDESP" Some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Lending him wit that to bad debtors lends: Fair Philomela, she but lost her tongue, And call him noble that was now your hate, Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill; Mangles true judgment and bereaves the state O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill! Speak, fair; but speak fair words, or else be mute: To bring him here alone; although perhaps Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? Expire before the flowers in their caps, Sodden business! there's a stewed phrase indeed! Performers of this heinous, bloody deed?

And hold-fast is the only dog, my duck: Please it your honour knock but at the gate, Labouring men; and therefore should we be You sent me to the bay, sir, for a bark. I'll have no husband, if you be not he; The night to the owl and morn to the lark He shall not boast who did thy stock pollute I do arrest you, sir: you hear the suit. CMLXXXVII - "NKONTHEEANDTHE" Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: King John, this is the very sum of all; O that there were some virtue in my tears, No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call; That she might think me some untutor'd youth, He was a gentleman on whom I built Even so void is your false heart of truth. England shall double gild his treble guilt; And yet methinks I do not like this tune. No, not my body nor my husband's bed: Dial is now upon the prick of noon. The one will live, the other being dead: He is at hand; and Pindarus is come Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? CMLXXXVIII - "NMYSTATELIKETO" Not letting it decline on the declined, My lord, in the base court he doth attend You not your child well loving, yet I find Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend To arms invasive? shall a beardless boy, And oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself This Trojan scorns us; or the men of Troy England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Like wonder-wounded hearers? This is I, It is not for your health thus to commit Keep the wild flood confin'd! Let order die! Except a sword or sceptre balance it: The violence of either thee becomes, O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! CMLXXXIX - "THELARKATBREAK" That they have caught the king: and who knows yet Here am I left to underprop his land, Else one self mate and mate could not beget Like holy Phoebus' car. Give me thy hand: And bid thy ceremony give thee cure! Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure And in this brainish apprehension kills That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, Before I enter'd here, I call'd; and thought Roused on the sudden from their drowsy beds, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought As with your shadow I with these did play: Knows at what time to promise, when to pay. CMXC - "OFDAYARISINGFR" O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note, For but a month ago I went from hence, Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat And, like a hungry lion, did commence You that be noble; help him, young and old! Ay, to the proof, as mountains are for winds, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, It is the lesser blot, modesty finds, Some sudden mischief may arise of it; It reaches far, and where 'twill not extend, Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. Go not away. What have you there, my friend? For never anything can be amiss, Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? CMXCI - "OMSULLENEARTHS" O, full of careful business are his looks! Must be provided for: and you shall put She touch'd no unknown baits, nor fear'd no hooks; Upon this overweening traitor's foot, Like exhibition thou shalt have from me. Like little body with a mighty heart, Endure the winter's cold as well as he: Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Exist, and be a member of his love As for her Greeks and Trojans suffer'd death. Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of That scald'st with safety. By his gates of breath His highness yet doth speak, and holds belief She is not for your turn, the more my grief. CMXCII - "INGSHYMNSATHEA" It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Now, for not looking on a woman's face, Good tidings, my Lord Hastings; for the which Shall more attend upon the coming space, He was my master; and I wore my life Yes, something you can deny for your own My wife! my wife! what wife? I have no wife. No, lady, no; my heart longs not to groan, See, they encounter thee with their hearts' thanks. A thousand times the worse, to want thy light. To crouch in litter of your stable planks, How shall I know if I do choose the right? Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. And with his knee the door he opens wide. CMXCIII - "VENSGATEFORTHY" Visit the speechless sick and still converse Either to die the death or to abjure No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. Say that I did all this for love of her. Great men have reaching hands: oft have I struck And he may well in fretting spend his gall, The noisome weeds, which without profit suck Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, For here I read for certain that my ships O, we have made a vow to study, lords, Rich preys make true men thieves; so do thy lips Than misery itself would give; rewards He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, Yet should both ear and heart obey my tongue. CMXCIV - "SWEETLOVEREMEM" Shall make thy peace for moving me to rage; Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, Either thou art most ignorant by age, Except it be to pray against thy foes. The strong-ribb'd bark through liquid mountains cut, La main? elle est appelee de hand. Of her or you, having proceeded but Virtue he had, deserving to command: Endure the winter's cold as well as he: Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Ensuing dangers; as by proof, we see My mercy dried their water-flowing tears; Either to die the death or to abjure My part thereof that I have done to her. CMXCV - "BERDSUCHWEALTH" Being the time the potion's force should cease. Either of king or council, when you went Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Dear sir, to my endeavours give consent; See you the fornicatress be removed: Under her other was the tender boy, Comes from my love. But I do see you're moved: His father's acts commenced in burning Troy! Will lug your priests and servants from your sides, Each changing place with that which goes before, And often at his very loose decides Look, whom she best endow'd she gave the more; The Destinies will curse thee for this stroke; Hew down and fell the hardest-timber'd oak. CMXCVI - "BRINGSTHATTHEN" Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, Respeaking earthly thunder. Come away. I'll nothing do on charge: to her own worth Now present here together: that's to say, Go fetch them hither to us presently. So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live? Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Heaven, be thou gracious to none alive, And on that day at noon whereon he says There was a pretty redness in his lip, Tell me how Wales was made so happy as Her father hath commanded her to slip Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast No doubt, my liege, if each man do his best. CMXCVII - "ISCORNTOCHANGE" I should report that which I say I saw, Shall be extinct with age and endless night; Come, go with me apart; I will withdraw, O, be not proud, nor brag not of thy might, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, No malice, sir; no more than well becomes That ever, ever, I did yet behold! O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! Could all but answer for that peevish brat? Her father hath commanded her to slip A villain kills my father; and for that, Now am I like that proud insulting ship Get me an iron crow, and bring it straight Eternal numbers to outlive long date. CMXCVIII - "MYSTATEWITHKIN" Matter against him that for ever mars You may as well forbid the mountain pines Some consequence yet hanging in the stars To harder bosoms! Looking on the lines And here will Talbot mount, or make his grave. To slay thy brother Abel, if thou wilt. Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! With purple falchion, painted to the hilt In women's waxen hearts to set their forms! That's to ye sworn to none was ever said; Here grow no damned grudges; here are no storms, Keep then far league and truce with thy true bed; In his anointed flesh stick boarish fangs. No, no; he cannot long hold out these pangs. CMXCIX - "GSWHENTOTHESES" Go, take it up unto thy master's use. Sweet Cytherea, sitting by a brook Why seek'st thou then to cover with excuse Have suffer'd like a girl: yet thou dost look Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less No; though thou call'st thyself a hotter name That he thereby may give a likely guess On that advantage, bought with such a shame, To be depender on a thing that leans, Hast thou delight to see a wretched man Ere further leisure yield them further means Some certain of your brethren roar'd and ran Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Sweet honey and sweet notes together fail. M - "SIONSOFSWEETSI" See, where he comes: so please you, step aside; Is in the very May-morn of his youth, O constancy, be strong upon my side, Now will I charge you in the band of truth, Speak, fair; but speak fair words, or else be mute: Order gave each thing view; the office did From Clifford's and Northumberland's pursuit: Such as the day is when the sun is hid. What Antony shall speak, I will protest Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. Strange images of death. As thick as hail I think I should have told your grace's tale. MI - "LENTTHOUGHTISU" Like all mankind, show me an iron heart? Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Not possible; for who shall bear your part That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: There is an art which in their piedness shares His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears. Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, God will revenge it. But come, let us in, Have we not lost most part of all the towns, To strike him dead, I hold it not a sin. If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, So kind to heart, 'tis not enough to give; Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. MII - "MMONUPREMEMBRA" Made senseless things begin to do them wrong; Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each O for your reason! quickly, sir; I long. Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Patience awhile, good Cassio. Come, come; Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Men at some time are masters of their fates: Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Meet in one line; and vast confusion waits, But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, And think it but a minute spent in sport. MIII - "NCEOFTHINGSPAS" No new device to beat this from his brains? Could trammel up the consequence, and catch Endue you with the people's voice: remains Out of his subject; and we here dispatch For me, the ransom of my bold attempt To make more vent for passage of her breath; How show'd his tasking? seem'd it in contempt? I have bewept a worthy husband's death, Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day Give the dozen white luces in their coat. Some twine about her thigh to make her stay: Pies; mace; dates?--none, that's out of my note; A mother and a mistress and a friend, Speak for yourselves; my wit is at an end. MIV - "TISIGHTHELACKO" The noble Scot, Lord Douglas, when he saw If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert; Soft; by and by. Let me the curtains draw. If I speak true! if hollowly, invert Grew a companion to the common streets, He was not taken well; he had not dined: The bawdy wind that kisses all it meets He is complete in feature and in mind Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Lesser his person than an ill report; And when the morning sun shall raise his car Choked with ambition of the meaner sort: Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise Out of my sight! thou dost infect my eyes. MV - "FMANYATHINGISO" From giving reins and spurs to my free speech; Mocking the air with colours idly spread, And will not you maintain the thing you teach, Not spend the dowry of a lawful bed. You, gracious couple, do: and then I lost-- Acquainted me with interest to this land, To do myself this wrong: till, at the last, Hast thou not worldly pleasure at command, If not, why then, this parting was well made. Now, welcome, Kate: and bear me witness all, Gives not the hawthorn-bush a sweeter shade I am a subject fit to jest withal, Such a Sebastian was my brother too, O graceless men! they know not what they do. MVI - "UGHTANDWITHOLD" Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. God should be so obdurate as yourselves, How I came by the crown, O God, forgive; Themselves all men of hair, they call themselves And will not palter? and what other oath Nor can imagination form a shape, Dissembling villain, thou speak'st false in both. Where bloody murder or detested rape I would have been a breakfast to the beast, This is the hand which, with a vow'd contract, His regiment lies half a mile at least Of all my buried ancestors are packed: Let me but bear your love, I'll bear your cares. Distress likes dumps when time is kept with tears. MVII - "WOESNEWWAILMYD" Whose tenors and particular effects Or hew my way out with a bloody axe. Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. Now civil wounds are stopp'd, peace lives again: Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Wherein the fortune of ten thousand men Who calls me villain? breaks my pate across? Adopts thee heir, and his high sceptre yields In parcels as I did, would have gone near Led by their master to the flowered fields, Many a dry drop seem'd a weeping tear, Your party in converse, him you would sound, Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? MVIII - "EARTIMESWASTET" Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: A halter'd neck which does the hangman thank Rich preys make true men thieves; so do thy lips That unassailable holds on his rank, I and ten thousand in this luckless realm My love admits no qualifying dross; Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Sleeping neglection doth betray to loss Whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue And with them scourge the bad revolting stars So flew'd, so sanded, and their heads are hung Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. Each in his office ready at thy beck. That men must lay their murders on your neck. MIX - "HENCANIDROWNAN" Henceforth we banish thee, on pain of death. Every man shift for all the rest, and Never did mockers waste more idle breath. Cousins, I hope the days are near at hand And entertain'd me with mine own device; Nay, look not big, nor stamp, nor stare, nor fret; I was not much afeard; for once or twice Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen O ceremony, show me but thy worth! Would try him to the utmost, had ye mean; Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. And, ere I part with thee, confer at large No, Caesar, we will answer on their charge. MX - "EYEUNUSEDTOFLO" Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: You should not blemish it, if I stood by: Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Upon the love and truth and vows which I Not to the beast that would usurp their den. Upon whose weeping margent she was set; Shotten herring. There live not three good men Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. The ocean, overpeering of his list, Or on Diana's altar to protest For going on death's net, whom none resist. Like to a mortal butcher bent to kill. O me! come near me now I am much ill. MXI - "WFORPRECIOUSFR" Why art thou yet so fair? shall I believe For many lives stand between me and home: Or as tie heresies that men do leave Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Peace! break thee off! Look where it comes again! Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. It needs not, nor it boots thee not, proud queen, Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick, Under your good correction, I have seen, So there's my riddle: one that's dead is quick: For quiet days, fair issue and long life, Render me worthy of this noble wife! MXII - "IENDSHIDINDEAT" It will outrun you, father, in the end. Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Nor shall not, if I do as I intend. Do thou but call my resolution wise, Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; He is as worthy for an empress' love Inform us of thy fortunes, for it seems Disburse the sum on the receipt thereof: I say she's dead; I'll swear't. If word nor oath Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? Dissembling villain, thou speak'st false in both. Envy your great deservings and good name, Ay, the most peerless piece of earth, I think, Th'art a tall fellow; hold thee that to drink. MXIII - "HSDATELESSNIGH" How comes this, Sir John? Fie! What man of good Shall cry for blessings on him: may he live Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, And salt too little which may season give To drown one woe, one pair of weeping eyes. Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Like a fine bragging youth, and tell quaint lies, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, Say, didst thou speak with him? know'st thou his mind? Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. I am Misanthropos, and hate mankind. Go, and be free again, as Suffolk's friend. Here must I stay, and here my life must end. MXIV - "TANDWEEPAFRESH" To shepherds looking on their silly sheep, A joyful mother of two goodly sons; Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep. Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns-- Warwick, although my head still wear the crown, Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid; And in his needy shop a tortoise hung, For he was likely, had he been put on, Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Slaver with lips as common as the stairs Her lively colour kill'd with deadly cares. MXV - "LOVESLONGSINCE" Let them set on at once; for I perceive Or, like a nymph, with long dishevell'd hair, Verona, for a while I take my leave, Either be patient, and entreat me fair, Sit fas aut nefas, till I find the stream Lest I, by marking of your rage, forget O Ratcliff, I have dream'd a fearful dream! Nay, look not big, nor stamp, nor stare, nor fret; Go thou with him; and when it is thy hap Shall I deny you? no: farewell, my lord. If they hold when their ladies bid 'em clap. Nay, never lay thy hand upon thy sword; Come, come, I'll go burn some sack; 'tis too late Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MXVI - "CANCELLDWOEAND" Came short of composition, but in chief A leaner action rend us. What's amiss, Notable pirate! thou salt-water thief! Come, let's fall to; and, gentle girl, eat this: Each in his office ready at thy beck. Lonely, apart. But here it is: prepare Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck Did call my father, was I know not where Wherein my sword had not impressure made O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop Each present lord began to promise aid, And climb the highest promontory top. Nay, Eleanor, then must I chide outright: Do summon us to part and bid good night. MXVII - "MOANTHEEXPENSE" My gracious uncle, let me know my fault: O hell! to choose love by another's eyes. And Talbot perisheth by your default. Not truly speaks; who speaks not truly, lies. The sacred honour of himself, his queen's, He was a gentleman on whom I built Envied against the people, seeking means England shall double gild his treble guilt; eXcept mine own name: that some whirlwind bear Presenteth them unto the gazing moon Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, No vessel can peep forth, but 'tis as soon Since, seldom coming, in the long year set, Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MXVIII - "OFMANYAVANISHD" Once did I get him bound and sent him home, From the still-vex'd Bermoothes, there she's hid: Makes his approaches to the port of Rome: Ay, when my father was in Rome she did. No doubt but he hath got a quiet catch. You spy! what do you spy? Come, give me an And give you entrance: but without this match, Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: And make him proud to make me proud that jests! Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! I will both hear and grant you your requests. Struck the main-top! O Posthumus! alas, Here stood he in the dark, his sharp sword out, Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. MXIX - "SIGHTTHENCANIG" Should hold her loathed and his spirits should hunt If ever he have wife, let her he made Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front; Hath drawn him from his own determined aid, Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, The country cocks do crow, the clocks do toll, He sits 'mongst men like a descended god: Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Never so much as in a thought unborn Come, come, Nerissa; for I long to see As when the golden sun salutes the morn, Now sways it that way, like the selfsame sea Inferring arguments of mighty force. Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse. MXX - "RIEVEATGRIEVAN" Return those duties back as are right fit, I swear to do this, though a present death Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Else you may be marvellously mistook. And cracking the strong warrant of an oath, Then have my lips the sin that they have took. Giving more light than heat, extinct in both Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows I'll beat thee, but I should infect my hands. Except it be to pray against thy foes. Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; And mine, fair lady Bona, joins with yours. No, good madam; I will not out of doors. MXXI - "CESFOREGONEAND" Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Shall in procession sing her endless praise. Fair ladies mask'd are roses in their bud; Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Run to my study. By and by! God's will, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill O, love's best habit is a soothing tongue, Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck; Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. And hold-fast is the only dog, my duck: Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Distasted with the salt of broken tears. MXXII - "HEAVILYFROMWOE" How true a gentleman you send relief, Even or odd, of all days in the year, And 'tis not wisdom thus to second grief Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; I would your highness would depart the field: Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, You press me far, and therefore I will yield. Filling the air with swords advanced and darts, Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Of thy deep duty more impression show Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. Why, what wouldst thou do there before I go? O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. MXXIII - "TOWOETELLOERTH" The king in this perceives him, how he coasts Or not remember what I must be now! Which he enforced from me, away he posts Of your profession? Speak, what trade art thou? Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Till then, adieu; and keep this holy kiss. Exampled by the first pace that is sick Let me, upon my knee, prevail in this. Lo, here in one line is his name twice writ, Or any of my brothers of the state, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: True, and I for a plantain: thus came your Have done, for more I hardly can endure. MXXIV - "ESADACCOUNTOFF" Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Since then hath made between them. Unto her And from the forlorn world his visage hide, Dat is as it sall please de roi mon pere. And in my conduct shall your ladies come; Compassion on the king commands me stoop; Call. Bully knight! bully Sir John! speak from O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Under whose government come they along? Not all these lords do vex me half so much To spend that shortness basely were too long, O Buckingham, now do I play the touch, For certain words he spake against your grace Fie, how impatience loureth in your face! MXXV - "OREBEMOANEDMOA" Out of thy sleep. What is it thou didst say? Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Be quiet, or--More light, more light! For shame! Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange May't please your majesty to give us leave Of hell would not in reputation change: And give your hearts to, when they once perceive Nor, gentle daughter, fear you not at all. Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Did to his predecessors part withal. My life, sir! How, I pray? For that goes hard. Of that self-blood that first gave life to you, And all too soon, I fear, the king shall rue. MXXVI - "NWHICHINEWPAYA" No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. We make a quire, as doth the prison'd bird, Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? I'll give thee armour to keep off that word: Can set the duke up in despite of me. His coming hither hath no further scope In double knavery--How, how? Let's see:-- No harm by it, though the gods hear, I hope Expect him here: when he shall come and find When he looks out in an ungrateful shape!-- Plucking the grass, to know where sits the wind, Anon, I wot not by what strong escape, You logger-headed and unpolish'd grooms! Ajax employ'd plucks down Achilles' plumes. MXXVII - "SIFNOTPAIDBEFO" So to enforce or qualify the laws If ever from your eyelids wip'd a tear, From his deep chest laughs out a loud applause; Neither in inward worth nor outward fair, O sweet Maria, empress of my love! The moon is down; I have not heard the clock. Princes in this should live like gods above, And crows are fatted with the murrion flock; I thought upon one pair of English legs Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- Bestow your counsels on me: she now begs, Even like a man new haled from the rack, For some, untuck'd, descended her sheaved hat, On what compulsion must I? tell me that. MXXVIII - "REBUTIFTHEWHIL" Ready to starve and dare not touch his own: Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; But health, alack, with youthful wings is flown Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; To part with unhack'd edges, and bear back I shall; and bring his answer presently. For as I am, I live upon the rack. Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Had not been here to dress the ugly form Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; With the consent of supreme Jove, inform His tears proclaim'd his, parting with her: thence, I do beseech you, as in way of taste, Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. MXXIX - "EITHINKONTHEED" Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, The practise and the purpose of the king: He told me that rebellion had bad luck, Is plagued with cramps and gouts and painful fits; Nor posted off their suits with slow delays; Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits, On Fortinbras; which he, in brief, obeys, Nor dare I question with my jealous thought The purest treasure mortal times afford He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; England shall give him office, honour, might; Dark needs no candles now, for dark is light. MXXX - "EARFRIENDALLLO" Even so void is your false heart of truth. And pity her for her good father's sake; Remains in danger of her former tooth. For those that were, it is not square to take Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Not my deserts, but what I will deserve: Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? A hundred thousand welcomes. I could weep Look into these affairs see this main end, Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep. Let's to the Capitol. Would half my wealth Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. MXXXI - "SSESARERESTORE" So mighty and so many my defects, Sith I have cause, and will, and strength, and means Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Against that time, if ever that time come, Revenge upon myself with present moan? Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Return'd my letter back. Then all alone Either to die the death or to abjure So there's my riddle: one that's dead is quick: The scene you play were mine. For instance, sir, Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. MXXXII - "DANDSORROWSEND" Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live And by herself, I will not tell you whose. Nor Cymbeline dreams that they are alive. Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, Sir Richard, what think you? have you beheld, O gentle Aaron, we are all undone! Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, With their superfluous riots, hear these tears! Shall we be thus afflicted in his wreaks, Environed with all these hideous fears? Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? MXXXIII - "THYBOSOMISENDE" Thy shape invisible retain thou still: He'll drop his heart into the sink of fear You must think this, look you, that the worm will But yet I would your father had been here. O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, Sir, would she give you so much of her lips O, full of careful business are his looks! Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse If the dull substance of my flesh were thought, So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Nor what ensues, but have a fog in them, Dry up in her the organs of increase; Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. MXXXIV - "AREDWITHALLHEA" A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind; Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Expect him here: when he shall come and find Death is the fairest cover for her shame When tempest of commotion, like the south, Is to mistake again; though indirect, Till thou canst quit thee by thy brother's mouth He lived from all attainder of suspect. And my young mistress thus I did bespeak: Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. How chance the roses there do fade so fast? End in one purpose, and be all well borne And make thee curse the harvest of that corn. MXXXV - "RTSWHICHIBYLAC" Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. So, either by thy picture or my love, Wherein we are not destitute for want, His better doth not breathe upon the earth. I had my father's signet in my purse, Cats, that can judge as fitly of his worth How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? Is my apparel sumptuous to behold? But from this lady may proceed a gem You do not give the cheer: the feast is sold Let me have open means to come to them, And worthless Valentine shall be forgot. Call you this gamut? Tut, I like it not! MXXXVI - "KINGHAVESUPPOS" Knave; that's, before me thou'rt a knave: this had It made me laugh to see the villain run. Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son.- Had he been Adam, he had tempted Eve; And therefore, as we hither came in peace, Verona, for a while I take my leave, Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. So in the world; 'tis furnish'd well with men, Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Peace! break thee off! Look where it comes again! Places: your hearts are mighty, your skins are One woe doth tread upon another's heel, Shall outstrike thought: but thought will do't, I feel. MXXXVII - "EDDEADANDTHERE" Effect it with some care, that he may prove Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Did all the chivalry of England move Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. And to proclaim it civilly, were like Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, Deservedly confined into this rock, The King shall drink to Hamlet's better breath, He had of me a chain: at five o'clock Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MXXXVIII - "REIGNSLOVEANDA" Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill: Either withdraw unto some private place, I kill'd not thee with half so good a will. Give it to me: what, is it in the case? No more, no more: worse than the sun in March, Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge: Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch Or else my sword with an unbatter'd edge Very hardly upon such a subject. Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve As much as I can do, I will effect: Now, sister, let us hear your firm resolve. Deep woes roll forward like a gentle flood, And shame thine honourable age with blood? MXXXIX - "LLLOVESLOVINGP" Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, Look, how thy wounds do bleed at many vents! Levy great sums of money through the realm Of dire combustion and confused events Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Edward and Richard, you shall stay with me; Shut up your doors, my lord: 'tis a wild night. Look how thy servants do attend on thee, Of this their purpose hither to this wood; Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. I never did repent for doing good, No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. God safely quit her of her burthen, and Prince John, your son, doth kiss your Grace's hand. MXL - "ARTSANDALLTHOS" A ragged and forestall'd remission. Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. Truly to speak, and with no addition, Save of their lord no bearing yoke they knew, And then they drown their eyes or break their hearts. Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, Always a villain's office or a fool's. Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Lives in the English court, and is received Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste? Hath motion and mine eye may be deceived: O, my dear lord, lo, where your son is borne! Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. MXLI - "EFRIENDSWHICHI" Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, For friends kill friends, and the disorder's such Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. I must confess that I have heard so much, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. Death of thy soul! those linen cheeks of thine Sad tidings bring I to you out of France, Wash'd me from shore to shore, and left me breath He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, I thank you, princes, for my daughter's death: Coming from thee, I could not put him back, Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! Into this chiefest thicket of the park. MXLII - "THOUGHTBURIEDH" Thou dost make possible things not so held, His daughter, and the heir of's kingdom, whom O, how it yearn'd my heart when I beheld Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Greater he shall not be; if he serve God, Here are the heads of thy two noble sons; The third time; I hope good luck lies in odd Be not found here; hence, with your little ones. Undo that prayer, by crying out as loud, Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; I see you what you are, you are too proud; England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. MXLIII - "OWMANYAHOLYAND" One time or other break some gallows' back. When he stands where I am and sees you there. My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack: And with her breath she did perfume the air; Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Yonder's the head of that arch-enemy And may that soldier a mere recreant prove, He fables not; I hear the enemy: One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Lady Beatrice, I will get you one. You know an enemy intends you harm; And take your ring again; 'tis not yet won: No more than I am well acquitted of. Do all men kill the things they do not love? MXLIV - "OBSEQUIOUSTEAR" Of guns and drums and wounds,--God save the mark!-- Beating her bulk, that his hand shakes withal. Shall be discover'd; please you, sit and hark. Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Quit all offences with as clear excuse Upon whose age we void it up again, In thine own person answer thy abuse. O momentary grace of mortal men, Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green. To quench the coal which in his liver glows. Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, According to the statute of the town, Ride, ride, Messala: let them all come down. MXLV - "HATHDEARRELIGI" He sought to murder: but her better stars And tamed the king, and made the dauphin stoop; This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, Having full scarce six thousand in his troop. Doth want example: who hath read or heard Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. And I to thee engaged a prince's word, Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Let us complain to them what fools were here, I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, In his bedchamber to be barr'd of rest. MXLVI - "OUSLOVESTOLNFR" O, that thou wouldst as well afford a grave Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, So offers he to give what she did crave; Let's write good angel on the devil's horn: O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Sprinkle cool patience! Whereon do you look? That they take place, when virtue's steely bones Out of my lean and low ability Lest that thy wives with spits and boys with stones Not I, my lord; sith true nobility For none abides with me: my joy is death; Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. MXLVII - "OMMINEEYEASINT" O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill! Might go one way, and safely; and the end My love is as a fever, longing still I have engaged myself to a dear friend, No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. Even for this let us divided live, England we love; and for that England's sake You are my all the world, and I must strive Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, And tribunes with their tongues doom men to death. So call the field to rest; and let's away, I will be brief, for my short date of breath Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot, There will we mount, and thither walk on foot. MXLVIII - "ERESTOFTHEDEAD" Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Rather than rob me of the people's hearts! Exampled by the first pace that is sick Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, To his most royal person, hither come On whom it will not, so; yet still 'tis just. For such disguise as haply shall become That majesty, to keep decorum, must Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, Egregious murderer, thief, any thing And so suppose am I; for in his grave Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? MXLIX - "WHICHNOWAPPEAR" What nearer debt in all humanity Have, for the gilt of France,--O guilt indeed! I can no longer brook thy vanities. Can the son's eye behold his father bleed? Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. Now will we take some order in the town, Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Whose bookish rule hath pull'd fair England down. And, having gilt the ocean with his beams, Profess'd to him, why, his revenges must Possess'd with rumours, full of idle dreams, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And make the hearts of Romans serve your ends! Return, return, and make thy love amends. ML - "BUTTHINGSREMOV" By God, he shall not have a Scot of them; Upon my daughter's head! Tell me, mine own. That overtopp'd them all. Betray'd I am: The next degree is England's royal throne; He ran upon the boar with his sharp spear, If broken, then it is no fault of mine. Nor now my scandal, Richard, dost thou hear; God witness with me, I have wept for thine. So from himself impiety hath wrought, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Master's whistle. Blow, till thou burst thy wind, Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? MLI - "EDTHATHIDDENIN" Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Damsel of France, I think I have you fast: That, all amaz'd, the priest let fall the book; His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, And justly thus controls his thoughts unjust: Tell me precisely of what complexion. His naked armour of still-slaughter'd lust, It shows my earnestness of affection- Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch: Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth If Caesar carelessly but nod on him. Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. MLII - "THEELIETHOUART" That I were couching with the doctor's clerk. He is gone happy, and has left me rich: Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Let life be short; else shame will be too long. If in which time expired, he not return, Else had she with her father rang'd along. That you have no such mirrors as will turn He could not stay to pick them in a pile Or have you read or heard? or could you think? Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style Away the performance: therefore, much drink Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, This will I do, and soon return again. MLIII - "THEGRAVEWHEREB" To play with mammets and to tilt with lips: He rather means to lodge you in the field, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Go to him, Dolabella, bid him yield; Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. And sleep in peace, slain in your country's wars! Visit the speechless sick and still converse Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; When he himself might his quietus make Hast thou put on his shape to do him shame? England we love; and for that England's sake Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, Being the time the potion's force should cease. MLIV - "URIEDLOVEDOTHL" Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Is he sure bound? look that you bind them fast. Either be patient, and entreat me fair, Does he rake this together! Now, my lords, Lest rest and lying still might make them look Or to the place of diff'rence call the swords Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or how haps it I seek not to advance To tell your grace, that, having heard by fame Harbour more craft and more corrupter ends Like one I loved indeed. What were thy friends? MLV - "IVEHUNGWITHTHE" I am solicited, not by a few, Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Each heart in Rome does love and pity you: How nice the quarrel was, and urged withal Unless Lord Suffolk straight be done to death, Now, if you have a station in the file, Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath: With sweets that shall the truest sight beguile: In God's name, cheerly on, courageous friends, The greatest of your having lacks a half Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Thy hand is made to grasp a palmer's staff, He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MLVI - "TROPHIESOFMYLO" The ornament of beauty is suspect, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Of my word, I have written to effect; Perish the man whose mind is backward now! He came too late, the ship was under sail: I would I had; so I had broke thy pate, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Sirrah, go fetch the beadle hither straight. Of what hath come to pass: for when she saw-- For stones dissolved to water do convert. My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. You less know how to value her desert Lest my remembrance suffer ill report; O gentlemen, the time of life is short! MLVII - "VERSGONEWHOALL" Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Exampled by the first pace that is sick Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; So do you too, where you perceive them thick. Go to, we pardon thee: therefore, in brief, Or any of my brothers of the state, Now is that noble vessel full of grief, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Which you, mistaking, offer up to joy. Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; O Ned, sweet Ned! speak to thy mother, boy! As offer'd mercy is. What was the last Let pity not be believ'd!' There she shook Love's stories written in love's richest book. MLVIII - "THEIRPARTSOFME" Then should I spur, though mounted on the wind; Had he been slain, we should have heard the news; Entreated me to call and know her mind: In thee at once; which thou at once wouldst lose. Regard me as I do not flatter, and Pure Chastity is rifled of her store, At the port, lord, I'll give her to thy hand, Religious in mine error, I adore Then son and father weep with equal strife Show'd mastership in floating; fortune's blows, Once did I lay an ambush for your life, Far in the fresh lap of the crimson rose, My child? away with't! Even thou, that hast Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MLIX - "TOTHEEDIDGIVET" That brings me food to make misfortune live? Only, good master, while we do admire The old bees die, the young possess their hive: High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, Empale him with your weapons round about; Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Dreading the curse that money may buy out; I will acquaintance strangle and look strange, Demand me nothing: what you know, you know: God-den to you all, god-den to you all. I am thy grandam, Richard; call me so. Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: The Duke of Buckingham's surveyor, ha? MLX - "HATDUEOFMANYNO" Hast thou that holy feeling in thy soul, Ah, thou shalt find us ready for thee still; The Duke of Suffolk, William de la Pole. Detest them, curse them: yet 'tis greater skill Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, O God, I fear thy justice will take hold For one fair French maid that stands in my way. Marry, I will; and this is wisely done. And leave no memory of what it was! Nay, that you shall not; since you have begun, You drew your sword upon me without cause; Now bind my brows with iron; and approach O, whither shall we fly from this reproach? MLXI - "WISTHINEALONET" Where all the treasure of thy lusty days, I have not stopp'd mine ears to their demands, Solicit Henry with her wondrous praise: The noble Duke of Clarence to your hands: His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights, It is a bawdy planet, that will strike None that beheld him, but, like lesser lights, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, And, were his daughter fairer than she is, Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his No face is fair that is not full so black. Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Take in your love, and then let me alone. MLXII - "HEIRIMAGESILOV" He saves my labour by his own approach. Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. In confutation of which rude reproach Rome shall record, and when I do forget If any power pities wretched tears, My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. As I have such a heart that both mine ears Good King, that must approve the common saw, Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Shook down my mellow hangings, nay, my leaves, Is all the counsel that we two have shared, Lusty and like to live: the queen receives Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? MLXIII - "EDIVIEWINTHEEA" Enow to press a royal merchant down Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns-- Into the danger of this adverse town; Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Inform us of thy fortunes, for it seems Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams, I pray you, be acquainted with this maid; Nature dispenses with the deed so far There's matter in these sighs. These profound heaves Have I not reason, beldams as you are, Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, And like a hermit overpass'd thy days. MLXIV - "NDTHOUALLTHEYH" Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk: Discharged. But come, your Bergomask: let your There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. His present and your pains we thank you for: Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male Unmannerly intruder as thou art! Above yon busky hill! the day looks pale Like all mankind, show me an iron heart? Love me or love me not, I like the cap; Troth, sir, all is in his hands above: but How we may steal from hence, and for the gap Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What You know your places: God be with you all! He that takes that doth take my heart withal. MLXV - "ASTALLTHEALLOF" Adoptedly; as school-maids change their names Speak, Queen of Goths, dost thou applaud my choice? The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims Against the welkin volleys out his voice; Laugh'd in his face; and when with grief he wept, Let me beseech your Grace not to do so. The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: He doth, my lord, and is become your foe. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And let thy misty vapours march so thick, Let villany itself forswear't. I must Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Fight till the last gasp; I will be your guard. MLXVI - "MEIFTHOUSURVIV" My daughter might have been: my queen's square brows; Egregious murderer, thief, any thing I prithee, do not strive against my vows: From you have I been absent in the spring, To hover on the dreadful shore of Styx? His son am I; deny it, if you can. Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six Unseemly woman in a seeming man! Say if I do- the laws are mine, not thine. Upon thy feature; for my rage was blind, Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; I make my love engrafted to this store: Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? MLXVII - "EMYWELLCONTENT" Empale him with your weapons round about; Makes me look dismal will I clip to form; Yet have I ventur'd to come seek you out With the consent of supreme Jove, inform Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? Levy great sums of money through the realm Came I to take her from her kindred's vault; O, none of both but are of high desert: Nay, I will win my wager better yet, To match us in comparisons with dirt, Else one self mate and mate could not beget Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. The crest of youth against your dignity. MLXVIII - "EDDAYWHENTHATC" Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Do you not hope your children shall be kings, Did seem to say 'Seek not a scorpion's nest, As they fly by them with their woven wings. Yet, in protection of their tender ones, Whence honour but of danger wins a scar, Here are the heads of thy two noble sons; Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Now could I, Casca, name to thee a man That he which hath no stomach to this fight, His son am I; deny it, if you can. And in this state she gallops night by night To lock such rascal counters from his friends, Curtsy, sweet hearts; and so the measure ends. MLXIX - "HURLDEATHMYBON" How long a time lies in one little word! Upon the instant that she was accused, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Let them not cease, but with a din confused Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time Each Trojan that is master of his heart, And beauty making beautiful old rhyme That is too much presumption on thy part: Have vanquish'd the resistance of her youth, Make up my sum. What wilt thou do for her? Yet, after all comparisons of truth, By'r lakin, I can go no further, sir; Of others' voices, that my adder's sense Nor send him forth that we may bear him hence. MLXX - "ESWITHDUSTSHAL" Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Shall it for shame be spoken in these days, Where, lo, two lamps, burnt out, in darkness lies; If it were yours by none of all these ways, The help of one stands me in little stead. How poor Andromache shrills her dolours forth! During the life, let us not wrong it dead. Under the lordly monarch of the north, Since why to love I can allege no cause. The cable broke, the holding-anchor lost, Such as she says my lord did say I was. His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, And in his thoughts of love doth share a part: Like all mankind, show me an iron heart? MLXXI - "LCOVERANDSHALT" Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, Cast off his chains of bondage and embrace O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Embrace we then this opportunity Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. And make me happy in your unity. Not resolute, except so much were done; Deliver him to safety; and return, Sky-planted batters all rebelling coasts? His going I could frame to serve my turn, And she is dead; which nothing, but to close Lays her full mess before you. Want! why want? To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. MLXXII - "BYFORTUNEONCEM" Between this chastised kingdom and myself, Your treatise makes me like you worse and worse. For where thou art, there is the world itself, On safe-guard he came to me; and did curse Return of love, more blest may be the view; To part with unhack'd edges, and bear back Upon their first lord's neck. But tell me true-- Nor customary suits of solemn black, Excepting one, I would he were the best Out of my lean and low ability Now, by my father's badge, old Nevil's crest, Corrupting in its own fertility. Exposing what is mortal and unsure My widow-comfort, and my sorrows' cure! MLXXIII - "ORERESURVEYTHE" Out of mine own; his days and times are past Revel the night, rob, murder, and commit Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Repair hither and say you are not fit. Else had she with her father rang'd along. So many hours must I take my rest; Under whose warrant I impeach thy wrong Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Yes, madam: yet I cannot choose but laugh, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MLXXIV - "SEPOORRUDELINE" Stand by, my masters: bring him near the king; Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Pluck'd in the bud, and vaded in the spring! O, that record could with a backward look, Once touch my shoulder. Great the slaughter is Rating myself at nothing, you shall see Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Unto a woman, happy but for me, Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Lascivious metres, to whose venom sound Is quite forgot. He was a queen's son, boys; Nor to the motion of a schoolboy's tongue, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MLXXV - "SOFTHYDECEASED" Sit down with us: it ill befits thy state O hateful hands, to tear such loving words! For, hark you, Tybalt being slain so late, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds He shall have merely justice and his bond. Your brother Richard mark'd him for the grave: Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Come, come, and sit you down. You shall not budge; Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. And, when the tale is told, bid her be judge Send for the county; go tell him of this: Each man apart, all single and alone, Deny me not, I prithee, gentle Joan. MLXXVI - "LOVERCOMPARETH" Look, whom she best endow'd she gave the more; Or I could make a prologue to my brains, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Endue you with the people's voice: remains Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish Could all my travels warrant me they live. Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish May draw with you: there's millions now alive Perchance, Iago, I will ne'er go home. Ay, but I hope your highness shall have his. Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Ere such another Julius. Britain is Titania waked and straightway loved an ass. He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass. MLXXVII - "EMWITHTHEBETTE" Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Must it be so? it must not be. My lords, Which not to read would show the Britons cold: It seem'd they would debate with angry swords. To ruinate proud buildings with thy hours, Hold, Warwick, seek thee out some other chase, The sweets we wish for turn to loathed sours Have I thought long to see this morning's face, Else would he never so demean himself. But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, England is safe, if true within itself? That barefoot plod I the cold ground upon, To outface me with leaping in her grave? Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! MLXXVIII - "RINGOFTHETIMEA" Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: It is not for your health thus to commit Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats; Give me the letter; I will look on it. O, none of both but are of high desert: Few love to hear the sins they love to act; To match us in comparisons with dirt, How joyful am I made by this contract! Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, That his attendant--so his case was like, It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, My purpose was for Tarsus, there to strike Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. And such an instrument I was to use. MLXXIX - "NDTHOUGHTHEYBE" No, I protest, I know not the contents; Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: That hath been breeder of these dire events. Hadst thou descended from another house. On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, Unto the main! O father, Maine is lost; Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands. How often said, my dignity would last This night methinks is but the daylight sick; Here cometh Charles: I marvel how he sped. Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Yet none does know, but you, how she came dead, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. MLXXX - "OUTSTRIPPDBYEV" Of the all-building law; and that there were Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; The French king's sister: he shall marry her. Spurn at his edict and fulfil a man's? The king with mighty and quick-raised power Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. If thou be'st yet a fresh uncropped flower, Poor queen! so that thy state might be no worse, Put him to choler straight: he hath been used Dainties to taste, fresh beauty for the use, But thus his simple truth must be abused Yet, were there but this single plot to lose, Each changing place with that which goes before, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? MLXXXI - "ERYPENRESERVET" Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. Your tender kinsman and to choke his days Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Not he that sets his foot upon her back. Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Even like a man new haled from the rack, Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, Else shall you not have any hand at all Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. MLXXXII - "HEMFORMYLOVENO" Hold, Toby; on thy life I charge thee, hold! Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. My fair rose wither: yet look up, behold, For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, Of any thing the image tell me that Reply not in how many fathoms deep Monster, I do smell all horse-piss; at Your potent and infectious fevers heap Let them set on at once; for I perceive Of your precedent lord; a vice of kings; Verona, for a while I take my leave, Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. MLXXXIII - "TFORTHEIRRHYME" There shall I rest secure from force and fraud. For his foul act by whom thy fair wife bleeds? Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad, Record it with your high and worthy deeds: The more she gives them speech. Where do you live? He says they can do nothing in this kind. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Is yet the cover of a fairer mind Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Hot questrists after him, met him at gate; You sent me for a rope's end as soon: May fright the hopeful mother at the view; Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. MLXXXIV - "EXCEEDEDBYTHEH" Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, eXposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Carries noise, and behind him he leaves tears: Each one demand an answer to his part Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! Do pelt so fast at one another's pate Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; Did move your greatness and this noble state Beggar the estimation which you prized Yes, as an outlaw in a castle keeps Treason, my lord! Lavinia is surprised! His mother shames him so, poor boy, he weeps. Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Hamlet return'd shall know you are come home. MLXXXV - "EIGHTOFHAPPIER" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. If thou delight to view thy heinous deeds, Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past: Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, The cause were not in being,--part o' the cause, O god of love! I know he doth deserve For's private friends: his answer to me was, He had the wit which I can well observe A stand where you may make the fairest shoot. Proteus, I thank thee for thine honest care; Pay recompense, if you will grant my suit. I take it up; and by that sword I swear Each way and move. I take my leave of you: Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. MLXXXVI - "MENOTHENVOUCHS" Most dear'st! my collop! Can thy dam?--may't be?-- Even like a man new haled from the rack, Not shine to-day! Why, what is that to me Of that proud man that did usurp his back? Then thieves and robbers range abroad unseen He would show most love. When yet he was but Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Nothing, my lord: or if--I know not what. Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. Unless I flatter with myself too much. Come hither, little kinsman; hark, a word. Have no perfection of my summer left, Steal thine own freedom and complain on theft. MLXXXVII - "AFEMEBUTTHISLO" As having sense of beauty, do omit Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Many a time hath banish'd Norfolk fought Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Beholding him, plucks comfort from his looks: Under that colour am I come to scale Take you the lute, and you the set of books; That I have frequent been with unknown minds Hadst thou been kill'd when first thou didst presume, It is the lesser blot, modesty finds, Shall all thy mother's hopes lie in one tomb? Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. MLXXXVIII - "VINGTHOUGHTHAD" Verona, for a while I take my leave, In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood; Nerissa teaches me what to believe: Give me some music; music, moody food That never object pleasing in thine eye, Had hoisted sail and put to sea to-day: O, let me in my present wildness die, Upon her patient breast, making their way Go in and cheer the town: we'll forth and fight, Held me in chase, that I was forced to wheel To hopeless restitution, so he might Had I but served my God with half the zeal Anon their loud alarums he doth hear; Doth any here know me? This is not Lear. MLXXXIX - "MYFRIENDSMUSEG" My fear to hope, my sorrows unto joys, You have no children, butchers! if you had, For she is with me: no, when light-wing'd toys Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, I pray you, give me leave to go from hence; Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. No care, no stop! so senseless of expense, Dispose of them, of me; the walls are thine. So wilfully dost spurn; and force perforce Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub, Unto a lineal true-derived course. Shall blow each dust, each straw, each little rub, Either to die the death or to abjure Go ply thy needle; meddle not with her. MXC - "ROWNWITHTHISGR" Reprove my allegation, if you can; Of any thing the image tell me that Which better fits a lion than a man. Now was she just before him as he sat, Without annoying me: and there were drawn If virtue's gloss will stain with any soil, Than pity note how much. Therefore, be gone. Having bought love with such a bloody spoil. Then I'll sit down. Give me some wine; fill full. Had graced the tender temples of my child, I think he thinks upon the savage bull. So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. MXCI - "OWINGAGEADEARE" On this side my hand, and on that side yours. What now? how chance thou art return'd so soon? I come to have thee thrust me out of doors. Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Garter, in his coat of arms, and on his As fears and reasons? fie, for godly shame! God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Envy your great deservings and good name, And as the bright sun glorifies the sky, Doth ill deserve by doing well; what's worse, Either to get the town again or die: An honour! were not I thine only nurse, Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. MXCII - "RBIRTHTHANTHIS" Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows By computation and mine host's report. I am the Douglas, fatal to all those Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws, Her only fault, and that is faults enough, Till he behold them form'd in the applause His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: And tell me, then, have you not broke your oaths? Not possible; for who shall bear your part Thrice hath this Hotspur, Mars in swathling clothes, Hast sold me to this novice; and my heart I put myself to thy direction, and Since they do better thee in their command. MXCIII - "HISLOVEHADBROU" Hector, by this, is arming him in Troy; It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity, Sleep, Richmond, sleep in peace, and wake in joy; Leaving thee living in posterity? O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Having no fair to lose, you need not fear; A poor soul's patience, all to make you sport. During whose reign the Percies of the north, By computation and mine host's report. Receive it friendly; but from this time forth Of public honour and proud titles boast, Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. MXCIV - "GHTTOMARCHINRA" Go bear it to the Centaur, where we host, He'ld lay the future open. You good gods, The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? This and my food are equals; there's no odds: O worthy prince, dishonour not your eye My lord protector, so it please your grace, And must they all be hanged that swear and lie? Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: Comets, importing change of times and states, Her face doth reek and smoke, her blood doth boil, Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil; Resembles that it was. What it should be, Ah, do not tear away thyself from me! MXCV - "NKSOFBETTEREQU" Never went with his forces into France King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Stamp, rave, and fret, that I may sing and dance. Or keep him from heart-easing words so long, Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose But from Lord Angelo by special charge. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. The circumstance I'll tell you more at large. The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Rome and the righteous heavens be my judge, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Quiet thy cudgel; thou dost see I eat. Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. MXCVI - "IPAGEBUTSINCEH" It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. Prepare her ears to hear a wooer's tale And with the same to act controlling laws. Gazed each on other, and look'd deadly pale. Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. But we that know what 'tis to fast and pray Unless he take the course that you have done, Then the conceit of this inconstant stay So keen and greedy to confound a man: I think it cites us, brother, to the field, Now, Master Slender: love him, daughter Anne. Come, muster men: my counsel is my shield; Each opposite that blanks the face of joy He hears naught privately that comes from Troy. MXCVII - "EDIEDANDPOETSB" Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Debts wither 'em to nothing; be men like If ever you have look'd on better days, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Although they wear their faces to the bent Now, trust me, 'tis an office of great worth Dear sir, to my endeavours give consent; Pray God she prove not masculine ere long, Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Else had she with her father rang'd along. To let the wretched man outlive his wealth, Something about, a little from the right, By this I challenge him to single fight. MXCVIII - "ETTERPROVETHEI" Empale him with your weapons round about; Thou tremblest; and the whiteness in thy cheek That he dined not at home, but was lock'd out. Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Richard, enough; I will be king, or die. Prithee, come hither: what fair lady's that? Rivers and Dorset, you were standers by, Of such contents as you will wonder at; Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Even or odd, of all days in the year, Timon is dead, who hath outstretch'd his span: His royal self in judgment comes to hear Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search. MXCIX - "RSFORTHEIRSTYL" Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Since they do better thee in their command. Fed from my trencher, kneel'd down at the board. Of this post-haste and romage in the land. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Telling the bushes that thou look'st for wars, Herein lives wisdom, beauty and increase: Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; I have, as when the sun doth light a storm, Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Salutes each other with each other's form; The fishes spread on it their golden gills; Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Lo, now my glory smear'd in dust and blood! MC - "EILLREADHISFOR" Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: I would not thy good deeds should from my lips Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. A queen in jest, only to fill the scene. Death lies on her like an untimely frost Hale him away, and let him talk no more. I warrant thee, my man's as true as steel. Sir, I did never win of you before. Fortune, good night; smile once more, turn thy wheel. O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. MCI - "HISLOVEFULLMAN" How joyful am I made by this contract! I speak to subjects, and a subject speaks, She is importunate, indeed distract. Let them coin his nose, let them coin his cheeks: Or shall I come to you at evening mass? Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. For none abides with me: my joy is death; Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; Lose all, and more, by paying too much rent, My mouth no more were broken than these boys', A man of complements, whom right and wrong Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! MCII - "YAGLORIOUSMORN" Your grace shall well and quietly enjoy. And wanting breath to speak help me with tears. Good angels guard thee from the boar's annoy! Let me but bear your love, I'll bear your cares. Or, when you wak'd, so wak'd as if you slept. Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood It is religion that doth make vows kept; Or, wanting strength to do thee so much good, Unless a brother should a brother dare Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold Myself have often heard him say and swear Only to flatter fools and make them bold: Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Nay, would I were so anger'd with the same! MCIII - "INGHAVEISEENFL" If what in rest you have in right you hold, Naming thy name blesses an ill report. Go pack with him, and give the mother gold, How far a modern quill doth come too short, Are they gone, and there they intend to sup. Values itself so highly that to her Enough to stifle such a villain up. If you do censure me by what you were, Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Each present lord began to promise aid, Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Nathaniel's coat, sir, was not fully made, For I can here disarm thee with this stick Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! MCIV - "ATTERTHEMOUNTA" A woman, and thy aunt, great king; 'tis I. Two such controlling bounds shall you be, kings, There is but three skirts for yourself, in my Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Rather than render back, out with your knives, That drive thee from the sportive court, where thou Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep O, step between her and her fighting soul Under whose brim the gaudy sun would peep; Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole The confident and over-lusty French And that's great marvel, loving a light wench. MCV - "INTOPSWITHSOVE" I will bring in the empress and her sons, Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says There were two honours lost, yours and your son's. Of these thy compounds on such creatures as Peace be to England, if that war return Say that some lady, as perhaps there is, Wilt thou be glass wherein it shall discern If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, The enemy of all your graces lives. Here is the number of the slaughter'd French. See where she comes, and brings your froward wives O' the toe like a parish-top. What, wench! Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MCVI - "REIGNEYEKISSIN" Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Either to die the death or to abjure I am as like to call thee so again, Go after her. She's desperate; govern her. Now are they but one lamp, one light, one sun. Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; You shall have letters from me to my son Either withdraw unto some private place, King Richard might create a perfect guess Is as a fury to torment my soul; So doth the greater glory dim the less: Smile with an austere regard of control,-- I thought King Henry had resembled thee Not that, I hope, which you received of me. MCVII - "GWITHGOLDENFAC" Good now, sit down, and tell me he that knows, Write from us to him; post-post-haste dispatch. I'm worse than mad: I have kept back their foes, The gain I seek is quiet in the match. He must observe their mood on whom he jests, Good man, those joyful tears show thy true heart: Or tyrant folly lurk in gentle breasts? Let them have scope: though what they do impart Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within, Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Not to woo honour, but to wed it; when For, as I think, they do command him home, And nod their heads, and throw their eyes on thee! Can buy this unpriz'd precious maid of me. MCVIII - "ETHEMEADOWSGRE" Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; To give their bed joy and prosperity. Have I in conquest stretch'd mine arm so far, Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; My will is something sorted with his wish. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. And of a dragon and a finless fish, Dear heart, forbear to glance thine eye aside: O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave, Stand I before thee here. Then if thou hast Go, get thee gone, thou false deluding slave, Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. MCIX - "ENGILDINGPALES" Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: If the great gods be just, they shall assist Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, If thou art dun, we'll draw thee from the mire Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! Give some supportance to the bending twigs. Peep through each part of him: whence has he that, A simple countryman, that brought her figs: Let me have men about me that are fat; Each man apart, all single and alone, Some men must love my lady and some Joan. MCX - "TREAMSWITHHEAV" The English are embattled, you French peers. Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, And foreign mart for implements of war; My life, sir! How, I pray? For that goes hard. So full of artless jealousy is guilt Whoe'er keeps me, let my heart be his guard; Is crack'd, and all the precious liquor spilt, That I might so have rated my expense, Here is my journey's end, here is my butt, His tears proclaim'd his, parting with her: thence, Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What As you are now, for you are cold and stem; Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? MCXI - "ENLYALCHEMYANO" Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Lies in his hamstring, and doth think it rich Yet come again; for thou perhaps mayst move And do you tell me of a woman's tongue, Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. Come, boy, and go with me: thy sight is young, Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. My ashes, as the phoenix, may bring forth You came not of one mother then, it seems. Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth Nor was not to be equall'd;'--thus your verse Of any constant man. What, worse and worse! MCXII - "NPERMITTHEBASE" No more of this; it does offend my heart: Paper shortly: what need these feasts, pomps and Each one demand an answer to his part Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; Must first induce you to believe: whose strength If I can catch him once upon the hip, To eke it and to draw it out in length, That he may bless this bay with his tall ship, His folly to the mettle of my speech? Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Beyond the infinite and boundless reach And give the king this fatal plotted scroll. Sit then and talk with her; she is thine own. Enough to purchase what you have made known. MCXIII - "STCLOUDSTORIDE" Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; To slay herself, that should have slain her foe. Confess the truth, and say by whose advice Look, Lucius, here's the book I sought for so; Or make some sign how I may do thee ease: Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Dry up thy marrows, vines, and plough-torn leas; Something I must do to procure me grace. The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! I can interpret all her martyr'd signs; Deep in the thigh, a spectacle of ruth! Even so void is your false heart of truth. MCXIV - "WITHUGLYRACKON" Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave, I have from their confines call'd to enact That blushing red no guilty instance gave, How can they then assist me in the act? Under the tide: but now I breathe again Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath: Like to a lonely dragon, that his fen Your master wed me to: nothing but death Rely upon it till my tale be heard, And then believe me, my love is as fair Come hither, little kinsman; hark, a word. Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair, O' the toe like a parish-top. What, wench! Now for the honour of the forlorn French! MCXV - "HISCELESTIALFA" How he did seem to dive into their hearts In a light. Yet you see how this world goes. Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: Calls virtue hypocrite; takes off the rose Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Laid them before you; you would throw them off, Establish him in his true sense again, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough To what may be digested in a play. It fitteth not a prelate so to plead. And in the shape of Corin sat all day, Look here, and at thy sovereign leisure read For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate, Ay, but she'll think that it is spoke in hate. MCXVI - "CEANDFROMTHEFO" Captive to thee and to thy Roman yoke, Endure the winter's cold as well as he: And then he drew a dial from his poke, No part of him but will be shame in me. Demetrius and Egeus, go along: For 'tis thy rival. O thou senseless form, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Or take his life there: this if she perform, Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks This Trojan scorns us; or the men of Troy He chafes her lips; a thousand ways he seeks Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Foundations fly the wretched; such, I mean, Orsino's mistress and his fancy's queen. MCXVII - "RLORNWORLDHISV" Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Let me have such a bowl may hold my thanks, Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. When Richard, with his eye brim full of tears, O, here it is. Uncle, I must come forth. Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, Duke of Anjou and Maine, yet is he poor, Have faculty by nature to subsist; I am a lamb: but if you brave the Moor, Shall seize one half his goods; the other half Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? MCXVIII - "ISAGEHIDESTEAL" I crave the benefit of law of arms. Soft; by and by. Let me the curtains draw. As if the boy should use like loving charms; Good King, that must approve the common saw, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Have faculty by nature to subsist; I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far Do smilingly revolt; and who resist Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Such as I am: though for myself alone To give their bed joy and prosperity. Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: As did that one; and that, in my regard, Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. MCXIX - "INGUNSEENTOWES" I know I am too mean to be your queen, Nay, in the body of this fleshly land, Gifts of rich value. Yet I have not seen Unless some dull and favourable hand Not portable, lie under this report: Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say, Except some petty towns of no import: Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: No, no; when Fortune means to men most good, Troy, yet upon his basis, had been down, On her dead mistress; tremblingly she stood With honour of his birthright to the crown. Enough to purchase what you have made known. Some men must love my lady and some Joan. MCXX - "TWITHTHISDISGR" Though standing naked on a mountain top, Which, being suffer'd, rivers cannot quench. I must be brief, lest resolution drop To feast upon whole thousands of the French. Heart, once be stronger than thy continent, Throw physic to the dogs; I'll none of it. He says he will return incontinent: It is extempore, from my mother wit. She's apt to learn, and thankful for good turns. Done to me, undeserving as I am, I will not kiss thee; then the rot returns Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? MCXXI - "ACEEVENSOMYSUN" Are murd'red for our pains. This bitter taste Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough. Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Values itself so highly that to her Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Now God in heaven bless thee! Hark you, sir. Speed more than speed but dull and slow she deems: Once more the engine of her thoughts began: My shame be his that did my fame confound; You speak to Casca, and to such a man Sometime a horse I'll be, sometime a hound, Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Never came poison from so sweet a place. MCXXII - "ONEEARLYMORNDI" O, they did urge it still unto the king! Now in the rearward comes the duke and his: Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Ere such another Julius. Britain is And all that poets feign of bliss and joy. Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Lay'st thou thy leaden mace upon my boy, Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young Mistake me not; I speak but as I find. Of all mad matches, never was the like. Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Do comfort, and not burn. 'Tis not in thee I lead espoused my bride along with me. MCXXIII - "DSHINEWITHALLT" Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Sad tidings bring I to you out of France, He doth object I am too great of birth--, Inclinable to honour and advance Now my old arms are young John Talbot's grave. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Who was in life a foolish peating knave. I prithee go and get me some repast; To vice you to't, that you have touch'd his queen Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice Although assail'd with fortune fierce and keen, Let music sound while he doth make his choice; Let them not speak a word; the guilt is plain; Thy father's charge shall clear thee from that stain. MCXXIV - "RIUMPHANTSPLEN" Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. I shall not be hang'd now, although I would; Usurps her cheek; she trembles at his tale, Mourn not, except thou sorrow for my good; Piercing the night's dull ear, and from the tents He was a gentleman on whom I built And I will stoop and humble my intents Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt; That granted, how canst thou believe an oath? Some necessaries that I needs must use, Presents that I intend to send them both: Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, England is safe, if true within itself? Now in good time, here comes the duke himself. MCXXV - "DORONMYBROWBUT" Disorder, that hath spoil'd us, friend us now! O sacred receptacle of my joys, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Occasions, noble Gloucester, of some poise, No man so potent breathes upon the ground My liege, your highness now may do me good. Your party in converse, him you would sound, But I shall do thee mischief in the wood. Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, O cruel, irreligious piety! Well said, my noble Scot: if speaking truth But this is worshipful society Unless she do it under this excuse, The small'st opinion on my least misuse? MCXXVI - "OUTALACKHEWASB" O heresy in fair, fit for these days! Unarm, unarm, and do not fight to-day. Till after many accents and delays, As shall become your highness; where you may Like beasts which you shun beastly, and may save, And, which is more than all these boasts can be, Convey me to my bed, then to my grave: King, father, royal Dane. O, answer me? Hold, hurt him not, for God's sake! he is mad. Either thou art most ignorant by age, Work not so hard: I would the lightning had And FENTON comes and steals away ANN PAGE. Sorrow were ever razed and testy wrath By this means shall we sound what skill she hath. MCXXVII - "UTONEHOURMINET" Upon my wretched women, that so long Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests Or is he but retired to make him strong? Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Hath Britain all the sun that shines? Day, night, Of that I shall have also cause to speak, Upon thy side against myself I'll fight, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Must by the hungry now be fed upon: I moralize two meanings in one word. Nay, if you stare, we shall hear more anon. Except a sword or sceptre balance it: To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit. MCXXVIII - "HEREGIONCLOUDH" Howl, howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stone. Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Return'd my letter back. Then all alone Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift, If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Nor customary suits of solemn black, Creep in 'twixt vows and change decrees of kings, Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee! O Brakenbury, I have done those things, Upon my lady's missing, came to me Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Here's a good world! Knew you of this fair work? MCXXIX - "ATHMASKDHIMFRO" Are motives of more fancy; and, in fine, To make the base earth proud with kissing it: Her eyes are grey as glass, and so are mine: More near my life, I fear,--with my weak wit, Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels, So kind to heart, 'tis not enough to give; Keeps wassail, and the swagg'ring upspring reels, Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live Hail, Dian! to perform thy just command, If I may have your daughter to my wife, My father gave me honour, yours gave land. For now he lives in fame, though not in life. Rome shall record, and when I do forget O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get? MCXXX - "MMENOWYETHIMFO" Moved with compassion of my country's wreck, More measure of this measure; be not nice. Each in his office ready at thy beck. Now I begin to relish thy advice; O, but I love his lady too too much, We'll chide this Dauphin at his father's door. You have received your griefs; nor are they such Each changing place with that which goes before, To fan and blow them dry again she seeks: Hear'st thou the news abroad, who are arrived? I speak to subjects, and a subject speaks, My gracious liege, when that my father lived, For by his face straight shall you know his heart. Once more, on pain of death, all men depart. MCXXXI - "RTHISMYLOVENOW" Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: That makes thee strangle thy propriety: How shall I fashion me to wear a cloak? If sorrow can admit society, Shall we hear from thee, Tyrrel, ere we sleep? Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks Your potent and infectious fevers heap Let your best love draw to that point, which seeks Out of mine own; his days and times are past Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Not letting it decline on the declined, On Saturday we will return to France. Will very well become a soldier's dance. MCXXXII - "HITDISDAINETHS" His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt I trust I may not trust thee; for thy word Then Warwick disannuls great John of Gaunt, Doth want example: who hath read or heard If thou turn back, and my loud crying still. Salute thee for her king: till then, fair boy, Doth make a stand at what your highness will. And there did seem in him a kind of joy It may be good: pride hath no other glass No matter where; of comfort no man speak: Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. This blended knight, half Trojan and half Greek. How canst thou tell she will deny thy suit, Spring crestless yeomen from so deep a root? MCXXXIII - "UNSOFTHEWORLDM" Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy gift, None in the world; nor do I know the man. Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan For love is still most precious in itself; That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, Hath almost made me traitor to myself: Envenom him with words, or get thee gone When he by night lay bathed in maiden blood. Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest. Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Let us with care perform his great behest. Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets! MCXXXIV - "AYSTAINWHENHEA" As are the swelling Adriatic seas. Yet, in protection of their tender ones, Such men as he be never at heart's ease Thy noble brother Titus and his sons, And to obey shall be in me remorse, I will not kiss thee; then the rot returns Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their course We must supplant those rough rug-headed kerns, He makes for England, there to claim the crown. Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Now doth she stroke his cheek, now doth he frown, How many shallow bauble boats dare sail Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Ay, but, I fear me, in another sense. MCXXXV - "VENSSUNSTAINET" Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Not paying me a welcome. Trust me, sweet, Such as I am: though for myself alone Speak, Queen of Goths, dost thou applaud my choice? Unknown to you, unsought, were clipp'd about Never did faithful subject more rejoice So I would you did; then 'twere past all doubt Thriftless ambition, that wilt ravin up A plague upon the tyrant that I serve! I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. No doubt they rose up early to observe Establish him in his true sense again, To make me blest or cursed'st among men. MCXXXVI - "HWHYDIDSTTHOUP" He was quick mettle when he went to school. Why would he for the momentary trick His man with scissors nicks him like a fool, Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Displant a town, reverse a prince's doom, If you should die before him, where's her dower? Dead, sure; and this his grave. What's on this tomb So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Too much the rein: the strongest oaths are straw Take with you your companions; as you look How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Upon his bloody finger he doth wear Please you draw near. Louder the music there! MCXXXVII - "ROMISESUCHABEA" Remove you hence. I knew you at the first O grim-look'd night! O night with hue so black! My dearest lord, bless'd, to be most accursed, I could prevent this storm and shun thy wrack! Sir, I invite your highness and your train England did never owe so sweet a hope, Say that she rail; why, then I'll tell her plain Upon your stubborn usage of the pope; Cheering a rout of rebels with your drum, Here sits a king more woful than you are. And your unblest fate hies: strumpet, I come. But thou from loving England art so far, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, As, deathmen, you have rid this sweet young prince! MCXXXVIII - "UTEOUSDAYANDMA" Under that colour am I come to scale To stranger blood, to foreign royalty. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? Unless you can find sport in their intents, So did he turn and over Suffolk's neck Dies in the zeal of that which it presents: And they have troops of soldiers at their beck? You shall digest the venom of your spleen, And shut myself up in some other course, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, Denied me to come in) return, and force Most ignorant of what he's most assured, And now, to tempt, all liberty procured. MCXXXIX - "KEMETRAVELFORT" Kinsmen, shoot all your shafts into the court: Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Most noble Caesar, shalt thou have report Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, Reprove my allegation, if you can; And what these sorrows could not thence exhale, Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Like madness is the glory of this life. Forgive him, Angelo, that brought you home O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, To new-found methods and to compounds strange? MCXL - "HWITHOUTMYCLOA" His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm Why should that name be sounded more than yours? If that be all, masters, I hear no harm. The mere despair of surgery, he cures, He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: The commons will not then be satisfied. More stern and bloody than the Centaurs' feast. Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. Come, leave your tears: a brief farewell: the beast Look round about the wicked streets of Rome; O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends And take deep traitors for thy dearest friends! MCXLI - "KTOLETBASECLOU" Knowing that thou wouldst have me drown'd on shore, The English are embattled, you French peers. One, sir, that for his love dares yet do more Lo, at this tomb my tributary tears Entreated me to call and know her mind: Though thou repent, yet I have still the loss: Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind, And both for my sake lay on me this cross: Sent back like Hallowmas or short'st of day. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Construe my speeches better, if you may. Let two more summers wither in their pride, Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove: Unless good counsel may the cause remove. MCXLII - "DSOERTAKEMEINM" Does it not, thinks't thee, stand me now upon- So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. O, where's young Talbot? where is valiant John? Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Till manly shame bids him possess his breath And in this brainish apprehension kills Kill Brutus, and be honour'd in his death. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, My husband bids me; now I will unmask. Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: I shall indue you with: meantime but ask Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, My gracious lord, no tribune hears you speak. MCXLIII - "YWAYHIDINGTHYB" Your oath is pass'd to pass away from these. Whose souls are not corrupted as 'tis thought. A sheep-cote fenc'd about with olive trees? Your partner in the cause 'gainst which he fought, How I might stop this tempest ere it came; I would the friends we miss were safe arrived. Dim register and notary of shame! Into the hearts of such as have not thrived Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. God, for thy mercy! they are loose again. To say this boy were like me. Come, sir page, He said the truth: and what said Surrey then? Your faithful service and your toil in war; But through his teeth, as if the name he tore. MCXLIV - "RAVERYINTHEIRR" Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, And he my husband best of all affects. Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, You shall be yet far fairer than you are. I take my leave with many thousand thanks. Nature dispenses with the deed so far That make her good? O, let her brother live! His looks I fear, and his intents I doubt. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive It is thy business that I go about. Razing the characters of your renown, Ride, ride, Messala: let them all come down. MCXLV - "OTTENSMOKETISN" O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! That should but rive an oak. Why dost not speak? To the ambassadors of England gives Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Nay, come, agree whose hand shall go along, Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, Mine shall not do his Julia so much wrong. Out of my lean and low ability Kind gods, forgive me that, and prosper him! Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, They come like sacrifices in their trim, If it were yours by none of all these ways, Some two months hence my will shall here be made: None but a holy hermit and her maid. MCXLVI - "OTENOUGHTHATTH" Of all his wars within the realm of France? This was the noblest Roman of them all: Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Not to be pardon'd, am content withal. O you most potent gods! what's here? a corse! Uproar the universal peace, confound Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse. Her chamber is aloft, far from the ground, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains. And treats of Tereus' treason and his rape: The worth of that is that which it contains, To give my hand, oppos'd against my heart, How can I then be elder than thou art? MCXLVII - "ROUGHTHECLOUDT" Rancour will out: proud prelate, in thy face One sudden foil shall never breed distrust. Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Gazing upon the Greeks with little lust: How much, methinks, I could despise this man, The oldest sins the newest kind of ways? Her tongue will not obey her heart, nor can Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Can the son's eye behold his father bleed? Lest his ungovern'd rage dissolve the life O, some authority how to proceed; Unless his noble mother, and his wife; Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir; Things past redress are now with me past care. MCXLVIII - "HOUBREAKTODRYT" How churlishly I chid Lucetta hence, O, that that earth which kept the world in awe Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. But greatly to find quarrel in a straw Ready to go, but never to return. Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn, Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair, The argument all bare is of more worth Or nourish'd him as I did with my blood, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; You sacrifice your tears, your sighs, your heart: The King of Naples, whosoe'er thou art. MCXLIX - "HERAINONMYSTOR" Here are the keys, there sits the duke asleep: Ere twice in murk and occidental damp Reply not in how many fathoms deep And fell below his stem: his sword, death's stamp, Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, Nay, in the body of this fleshly land, Of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales; No matter then although my foot did stand More French: I shall never move thee in French, Yet so he ruled and such a prince he was So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas Of mercy, if thou didst this deed of death, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. MCL - "MBEATENFACEFOR" My lords of England, let me tell you this: But one, poor one, one poor and loving child, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Approach, ho! All's not well: Caesar's beguiled. That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet No: know the gallant monarch is in arms For what I have I need not to repeat; And 'tis great pity that the noble Moor Come, come, my son, I'll bring thee on thy way: Exposing what is mortal and unsure First if all obstacles were cut away, Or I shall live your epitaph to make, Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. MCLI - "NOMANWELLOFSUC" Necessity will make us all forsworn O, that a lady, of one man refused. Make modest Dian cloudy and forlorn, Ay, noble uncle, thus ignobly used, Now, by mine honour, which is yet mine own, Whose high exploits and honourable deeds Each man apart, all single and alone, Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. Let this dissension first be tried by fight, O my good lord, the world is but a word: Frantic with grief thus breathes she forth her spite So that from point to point now have you heard Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. Come on, my boy. How dost, my boy? Art cold? MCLII - "HASALVECANSPEA" How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains, And would not, but in fury, fright my youth: Scratch thee but with a pin, and there remains All my reports go with the modest truth; Let me be thought too busy in my fears-- Visit the speechless sick and still converse Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Could say she were worse: think you of a worse An if thy stumps will let thee play the scribe. No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; Sir, to your pleasure humbly I subscribe; Plague him with flies: though that his joy be joy, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand And equity exiled your highness' land. MCLIII - "KTHATHEALSTHEW" Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, The third time; I hope good luck lies in odd Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's And this is Geffrey's: in the name of God Those enemies of Timon's and mine own Have suffer'd like a girl: yet thou dost look Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: And better in my mind not undertook. Lady, you know no rules of charity, Smile you my speeches, as I were a fool? To give their bed joy and prosperity. Hath wisdom's warrant and the help of school Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, With truth and plainness I do wear mine bare. MCLIV - "OUNDANDCURESNO" O, he's a limb that has but a disease; Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Now, now: I have not winked since I saw these Door would speak with you: he says he comes from And wring the awful sceptre from his fist, Ne'er spurr'd their coursers at the trumpet's sound; Distract your army, which doth most consist Come, come, Lavinia; look, thy foes are bound. Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Sad-hearted men, much overgone with care, Nothing more dear to me. You are abused O, that a lady, of one man refused. MCLV - "TTHEDISGRACENO" There will we mount, and thither walk on foot. The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood; Since you are strangers and come here by chance, Give me some music; music, moody food Rebuke and dread correction wait on us And all is but to rob thee of a kiss. Come, son, away; we may not linger thus. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Now, governor of Paris, take your oath, Or ill-beseeming beast in seeming both! MCLVI - "RCANTHYSHAMEGI" Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Command thy son and daughter to join hands. And let it be confiscate all, so soon Nay, it shall ne'er be said, while England stands, Then judge, great lords, if I have done amiss; Have done! for shame, if not for charity. You know that you are Brutus that speak this, Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, He cried almost to roaring; and he wept Are gone: crows and daws, crows and daws! I had Must gently be preserved, cherish'd, and kept: Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Gave him their heirs, as pages follow'd him I know this act shows horrible and grim. MCLVII - "VEPHYSICTOMYGR" Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Pleads he in earnest? look upon his face; His hand, that yet remains upon her breast,-- Yet did repent me, after more advice; Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, I was not much afeard; for once or twice Corrupting in its own fertility. The doctor is well money'd, and his friends O Mistress Ford, what have you done? You're shamed, Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's You love my son; invention is ashamed, Good father, I beseech you on my knees, Rome could afford no tribune like to these. MCLVIII - "IEFTHOUGHTHOUR" I heard no letter from my master since Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Fit counsellor and servant for a prince, Thou quiet soul, sleep thou a quiet sleep Hath made her break out into terms of rage! Off with his head! Now, by Saint Paul I swear, Under an oak, whose boughs were moss'd with age, Give me some sack; and, sweetheart, lie thou there. How long a time lies in one little word! Those children nursed, deliver'd from thy brain, Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, On yon proud man, should take it off again Unlike young men, whom Aristotle thought Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MCLIX - "EPENTYETIHAVES" Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Peace, doting wizard, peace! I am not mad. Even or odd, of all days in the year, Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad, The king hath heard them; to the which as yet Yet, know thou, since we have begun to strike, Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. That wisdom, loyalty and mere dislike I rather would entreat thy company His son am I; deny it, if you can. And shall, or him we will accompany. Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Since the physician at your father's died? MCLX - "TILLTHELOSSTHE" They will digest this harsh indignity. It follows then the cat must stay at home: Love can transpose to form and dignity: Look round about the wicked streets of Rome; That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. However God or fortune cast my lot, Err'd in this point which now you censure him, Let it suffice thee that I trust thee not. Or blot with hell-born sin such saint-like forms. Set them into confounding odds, that beasts Such as seafaring men provide for storms; Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests How insolent of late he is become, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MCLXI - "OFFENDERSSORRO" O, full of careful business are his looks! Fie, fie! they are not to be named, my lord, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Not what you are, I know it will excuse Depose him in the justice of his cause. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Remuneration for the thing it was; Since thou hast far to go, bear not along Spare England, for it is your native coast; O, he hath kept an evil diet long, Receiving them from such a worthless post. Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: O any thing, of nothing first create! MCLXII - "WLENDSBUTWEAKR" When tyrants' crests and tombs of brass are spent. Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Either of king or council, when you went No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. Despise me, when I break this oath of mine. Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends. But let desert in pure election shine, Unless thou couldst return to make amends? That know the strong'st and surest way to get. Will I make good against thee, arm to arm, Either be gone before the watch be set, And reason flies the object of all harm: Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. MCLXIII - "ELIEFTOHIMTHAT" Either of you to be the other's end. Lend me thy hand, and I will give thee mine. It is your grace's pleasure to commend; Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Fits kings, as they are men, for they may err. To die is to be banish'd from myself; O let no noble eye profane a tear He will be found like Brutus, like himself. I am content that he shall take the odds My lord, your loving nephew now is come. Thy beck might from the bidding of the gods Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from And let the nurse this night sit up with you; That I would choose, were I to choose anew. MCLXIV - "BEARSTHESTRONG" Because I would not see thy cruel nails Either of king or council, when you went And that same sword-and-buckler Prince of Wales, Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Stay, lords and gentlemen, and pluck no more, The castle of Macduff I will surprise; Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you? Your Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Something to do with you. Come, you're a young Tell you the duke, shall prosper: bid him strive Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Not knowing them until we know their grave: Go, base intruder! overweening slave! MCLXV - "OFFENCESCROSSA" One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. From a resolved and honourable war, For me, that I may surely keep mine oath, Each changing place with that which goes before, Nor never did my actions yet commence Come, my sweet wife, my dearest mother, and Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Saint Lawrence Poultney, did of me demand Convey me Salisbury into his tent, Remuneration for the thing it was; Of Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, nor of Kent, She's a good creature, and, sweet lady, does So do the kings of France unto this day; Art thou contented, Jew? what dost thou say? MCLXVI - "HBUTTHOSETEARS" How did this offer seem received, my lord? But when they would seem soldiers, they have galls, Under the wrath of noble Hotspur's sword, There is no world without Verona walls, This might have been prevented and made whole Hanging a golden stamp about their necks, O God, I have an ill-divining soul! So please you, save the thanks this prince expects: Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. To the ambassadors of England gives Else you may be marvellously mistook. A just and open trial. While she lives Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! MCLXVII - "AREPEARLWHICHT" Ah, thou, the model where old Troy did stand, Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Parts that become thee happily enough Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Ay, but I fear you speak upon the rack, Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Why, thou say'st true; it is a paltry cap, His dagger drew, and died. For all the rest, I'll strive, with troubled thoughts, to take a nap, Come hither, neighbour Seacole. God hath blessed Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, The king was slily finger'd from the deck! MCLXVIII - "HYLOVESHEDSAND" His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm You are deceived; my child is none of his: Like to a tenement or pelting farm: Or hailstone in the sun. Your virtue is Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Speak, gentle niece, what stern ungentle hands His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France. Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, So will I turn her virtue into pitch, As offer'd mercy is. What was the last No if thou dost say 'no' to my demand. Do you confess so much? Give me your hand. MCLXIX - "THEYARERICHAND" That, by confessing them, the souls of men How true a gentleman you send relief, Establish him in his true sense again, You hold too heinous a respect of grief. And age in love loves not to have years told: Repair'd with double riches of content. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, I'll hide my master from the flies, as deep Combine your hearts in one, your realms in one! How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, As both of you--God pardon it!--have done, Not Gaunt's rebukes, nor England's private wrongs, Disdaining duty that to us belongs. MCLXX - "RANSOMALLILLDE" Rebuke and dread correction wait on us As it is known she is, these moral laws Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws Or, like a fairy, trip upon the green, My blood begins my safer guides to rule; And therefore will he wipe his tables clean, Let my unsounded self, supposed a fool, Lions more confident, mountains and rocks I do the wrong, and first begin to brawl. Look, how you butt yourself in these sharp mocks! Let his deservings and my love withal Doth teach that ease and that repose to say Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MCLXXI - "EDSNOMOREBEGRI" Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Dreamest not of, the which for sport sake are So, get thee gone; good night Ate eyes do itch; Nature dispenses with the deed so far On both his knees doth kiss King Richard's hand More measure of this measure; be not nice. On her bare breast, the heart of all her land; Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Be pilot to me and thy places shall England shall give him office, honour, might; God save thy Grace, King Hal; my royal Hal! Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. I think I should have told your grace's tale. MCLXXII - "EVEDATTHATWHIC" Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Drew Priam's curtain in the dead of night And 'gins to chide, but soon she stops his lips; To raise a mutiny betwixt yourselves: The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, How smooth and even they do bear themselves! And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Which, you say, live to come in my behalf. His subjects to oppression and contempt Is it not Hero? Who can blot that name Chid I for that at frugal nature's frame? MCLXXIII - "HTHOUHASTDONER" His health was never better worth than now. Thou dost make possible things not so held, Here is my hand, and here I firmly vow O, how it yearn'd my heart when I beheld Upon the instant that she was accused, How can they then assist me in the act? And falling from a hill, he was so bruised Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, To seal her father's eyes up close as oak- Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Neglect the visitation of my friends. Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! MCLXXIV - "OSESHAVETHORNS" O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. She do defeat us; for her life in Rome Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Sir, sooth to say, you did not dine at home. He finds himself beholding to us all. And I, the hapless male to one sweet bird, Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard This world had air'd them: hence I took a thought, How many of you have mine eyes beheld! Or whether since he is advis'd by aught Run back and bite, because he was withheld; No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Saying, I liked her ere I went to wars. MCLXXV - "ANDSILVERFOUNT" Against infection and the hand of war, Nor it nor no remembrance what it was: Divide your happy England into four; She's a good creature, and, sweet lady, does I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight; Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Resolve your angry father, if my tongue For this one night; which, part of it, I'll waste O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Under these windows, white and azure laced Not me begotten of a shepherd swain, The manner of my pity-wanting pain. MCLXXVI - "AINSMUDCLOUDSA" As fast as they are made, forgot as soon If not, the end of life cancels all bands; Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Shall seize this prey out of his father's hands. My wit untrain'd in any kind of art. Unless I flatter with myself too much. Didst thou deliver to me on the mart. Curate and your sweet self are good at such Live each of you the subjects to his hate, Or how haps it I seek not to advance Upon her wit doth earthly honour wait, Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! Stern Falconbridge commands the narrow seas; A sheep-cote fenc'd about with olive trees? MCLXXVII - "NDECLIPSESSTAI" Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. Dim register and notary of shame! Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Chid I for that at frugal nature's frame? Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. If broken, then it is no fault of mine. Prunes the immortal wing and cloys his beak, So, now I have confess'd that he is thine, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Sweep your way for you. Pray you, look not sad, Since Rome herself in them doth stand disgraced, That living mortals, hearing them, run mad:-- Are his wits safe? is he not light of brain? I like this well; he will return again. MCLXXVIII - "NBOTHMOONANDSU" Never, O never, do his ghost the wrong Being but the second generation O master, master I have watch'd so long That tremble at the imagination? How smooth and even they do bear themselves! Must I be his last refuge! His friends, like Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, And heave it shall some weight, or break my back: Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Deny their office: only you do lack Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. Unless thou couldst return to make amends? MCLXXIX - "NANDLOATHSOMEC" Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord. And presently all humbled kiss the rod! Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, Did march three Frenchmen. Yet, forgive me, God, Like Muscovites or Russians, as I guess. O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb And three or four more of their growth we'll dress That I, unworthy body as I am, Hail, all you state of Greece! what shall be done Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; One vice, but of a minute old, for one My life stands in the level of your dreams, Either consent to pay this sum for me Changed to a worser shape thou canst not be. MCLXXX - "ANKERLIVESINSW" A' was a merry man--took up the child: No, no, I will not, having breath to cry: Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild; Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Let what is meet be said it must be meet, I would have left it on the board so soon Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Speak, Queen of Goths, dost thou applaud my choice?

MCLXXXIII - "EVENIINTHISAUT" Engenders the black toad and adder blue, Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. It is religion that doth make vows kept; I take this offer, then; pay the bond thrice No, when my father York and Edward wept, Thou art a fool to bid me farewell twice.

Good my lord of Rome, So full of artless jealousy is guilt In love whereof, half Hector stays at home; Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, Should hold her loathed and his spirits should hunt Making not reservation of yourselves, Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt, Replying shrilly to the well-tuned horns, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Tooth'd briers, sharp furzes, pricking goss and thorns, His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: As thoughts do blow them, higher and higher.

Challenge me the count's youth to fight Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: So am I now: O no, that cannot be; Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Pluck a red rose from off this thorn with me.

Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, And lawful meaning in a lawful act, Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Or, being open, put into his hands Cromwell, I did not think to shed a tear And stain my favours in a bloody mask, The better that your lordship please to ask. MCXCV - "EANDGAINSTMYSE" Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste And here's the base fruit of his burning lust. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; Girding with grievous siege castles and towns; And shall, or him we will accompany.

As did that one; and that, in my regard, Like Turk to Christian. Women's gentle brain And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? Whose rags shamed gilded arms, whose naked breast Full well I wot the ground of all this grudge: Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest; Let me be no assistant for a state, Poor queen of love, in thine own law forlorn, Let it command a mirror hither straight, End in one purpose, and be all well borne And I will wish thee never more to dance, Come, sir, what letters had you late from France?

Can change their moons and bring their times about Even like a man new haled from the rack, Shall in procession sing her endless praise. Save a proud rider on so proud a back. As the poor frighted deer, that stands at gaze, Revenue, execution of the rest, You are but newly planted in your throne; Now one the better, then another best; Enough to purchase what you have made known. Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? MCCI - "SMUSTBETOTHATS" Shall be the war that Henry means to use. Might I but live to see thee in my touch, Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, She made good view of me; indeed, so much, That you affect; and so must you resolve, But not without that harmful stroke which since Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve The one of them contains my picture, prince: Of all the voices that we have procured To your protection I commend me, gods. He hath, my lord; but be you well assured, And he to yours, and all of you to God's! These sentences, to sugar, or to gall, So to be valiant is no praise at all. MCCII - "WEETTHIEFWHICH" With other princes that may best be spared, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Esteem him as a lamb, being compared The nine men's morris is fill'd up with mud, The wreck of all my friends, nor this man's threats, Hath yielded up his body to the grave; I did but tell her she mistook her frets, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! For taking so the head, your whole head's length. What stays had I but they? and they are gone.

Blow, wind! come, wrack! Or to the place of diff'rence call the swords Be merciful, great duke, to men of mould. Should not be utter'd feebly. It is held From whom my absence was not six months old Run back and bite, because he was withheld; On what submissive message art thou sent? My sighs and tears and will not once relent? MCCIV - "MELETMECONFESS" My blood begins my safer guides to rule; Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Let my unsounded self, supposed a fool, Every man shift for all the rest, and Too little payment for so great a debt.

But did you not request to have it cut? MCCVI - "ETWAINALTHOUGH" Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard The basin that receives your guilty blood. Why, these balls bound; there's noise in it. 'Tis hard: As doth a rock against the chiding flood, If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark. Not fearing death, nor shrinking for distress, A light condition in a beauty dark. Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! To cipher me how fondly I did dote; Have all his ventures fail'd? What, not one hit? Or rudely visit them in parts remote, Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; Go after him; for he perhaps shall need Here is a silly stately style indeed! MCCVII - "OURUNDIVIDEDLO" Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast, Under the tide: but now I breathe again Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, Until you see her die again; for then Now cheer each other in each other's love Done to me, undeserving as I am, I think there are, sir; I heard them talked of. Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? I do remember how my father said Dyed in the dying slaughter of their foes: Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Deny your asking: take your choice of those Let her who would be rid of him devise Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. MCCVIII - "VESAREONESOSHA" Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Stand I condemn'd for pride and scorn so much?

No, faith, young Troilus; doff thy harness, youth; Each changing place with that which goes before, Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed; Other course you please, which the time shall more So hot a speed with such advice disposed, He would quickly have the gift of a grave. And shall the same give pardon to a slave? MCCIX - "LLTHOSEBLOTSTH" Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep. Light, gentlemen; I'll bind it with my shirt.

MCCX - "ATDOWITHMEREMA" A couching lion and a ramping cat, The key whereof myself have ever kept; Defence absence. What beast couldst thou be, that Or, when you wak'd, so wak'd as if you slept.

Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Rich preys make true men thieves; so do thy lips Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Make me, that nothing have, with nothing grieved, And thou with all pleased, that hast all achieved!

Visit the speechless sick and still converse Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. And send him word by me which way you go. Stay, give me drink. Hamlet, this pearl is thine; Express impatience, lest you stir up mine.

MCCXVIII - "ICHTHOUGHITALT" Is partly to behold my lady's face; Chickens, the way which they stoop'd eagles; slaves, His company must do his minions grace, That babies lulls asleep! the smiles of knaves He did behave his anger, ere 'twas spent, O, why should nature build so foul a den, Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. Give me one kiss, I'll give it thee again, Here is my hand; the premises observed, I'll be so bold to take what they have left.

MCCXIX - "ERNOTLOVESSOLE" Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Remember whom you are to cope withal; Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Or by the father there were none at all; Thou speak'st as if I would deny my name. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; Of your dear mother England, blush for shame; Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Save in aspect, hath all offence seal'd up; She crops the stalk, and in the breach appears O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Loyalty, something fears me to think of. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MCCXX - "EFFECTYETDOTHI" Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Fortune and victory sit on thy helm!

Using no other weapon but his name. MCCXXII - "RSFROMLOVESDEL" Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, She bids me think how I have been forsworn For I have bills for money by exchange Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, Must have inventions to delight the taste, Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Outruns the eye that doth behold his haste, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Sir Valentine, whither away so fast? Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace. MCCXXIII - "IGHTIMAYNOTEVE" If this but answer to my just belief, Good parts aside I have no other charms.

Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Not knowing what they fear, but full of fear: Our archers shall be placed in the midst Would sing her song and dance her turn; now here, Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Dissemble not your hatred, swear your love. MCCXXV - "GETHEELESTMYBE" Great traveller, and wild Half-can that stabbed Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Ten times more gentle than her father's crabbed, Harp not on that string, madam; that is past. Even for this let us divided live, Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon So is it in the music of men's lives. The labour of each knight in his device. Methinks they should invite them without knives; Yea, twice the sum: if that will not suffice, Beshrew me, if I would do such a wrong Else had she with her father rang'd along. MCCXXVI - "WAILEDGUILTSHO" We cannot feel too little, hear too much. And yet not so; since I am sure my love's In my most ill-composed affection such Like true, inseparable, faithful loves, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Doth fat me with the very thoughts of it!

Why hast thou abused Outsells them all; I love her therefore: but This blended knight, half Trojan and half Greek. Here is my journey's end, here is my butt, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, She hath been then more fear'd than harm'd, my liege; He gave his honours to the world again, All preparation for a bloody siege My lord, I'll tell my lady you will come. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MCCXXVIII - "NORTHOUWITHPUB" Nay, never bear me hence, dispatch me here, Of the old, feeble and day-wearied sun, Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? To make such means for her as thou hast done Had all your quarters been as safely kept Of full three thousand ducats. What of that? Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, What if my house be troubled with a rat I will be thine; and till that instant shut These English woes will make me smile in France. Have need of poor ones, poor ones may make what Proclaim that I can sing, weave, sew, and dance, Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Brandish'd by man that's of a woman born. MCCXXIX - "LICKINDNESSHON" Lend me thy hand, and I will give thee mine. I all alone beweep my outcast state Come, I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate, If Marcus did not name the word of hands! Now, as I live, I will. My nobler friends, Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Say they be fled; Germans are honest men.

Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Even in the presence of the crowned king. Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid?

MCCXXXI - "UTAKETHATHONOU" Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, There let him stand, and rave, and cry for food; And when my uncle told me so, he wept, Know, gentle wench, it small avails my mood: Expect your highness' doom of life or death. The mere despair of surgery, he cures, How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath Alack, my lord, that fault is none of yours; The commons will not then be satisfied.

MCCXXXII - "RFROMTHYNAMEBU" Regard me as I do not flatter, and For whom he now is banish'd, her own price Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice.

Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? And, in a word, but even now worth this, Methinks they should invite them without knives; Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss.

Did tell me of you, bade me trust you; but Or aught intend'st to lay unto my charge, Nothing, my lord: or if--I know not what. Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,-- Than some, whose tailors are as dear as yours, Save when command to your dismission tends, Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars If one good deed in all my life I did, Leave me, I pray, a little: pray you now: Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid? Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Than both your poets can in praise devise. MCCXXXIV - "HEEINSUCHSORTA" Here stand a pair of honourable men; Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Establish him in his true sense again, It should be now, but that my fear is this, Nay, Gloucester, know that thou art come too soon, Still live they and for ever may they last! Unto the lodging where I first did swoon? Call Buckingham, and all the friends thou hast, How I may be deliver'd of these woes, So say we too, but not by Edward's wife; Or to turn white and swoon at tragic shows. Retaining but a quantity of life, Therefore, Lord Oxford, to prevent the worst, And I will speak, that so my heart may burst. MCCXXXV - "STHOUBEINGMINE" Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! That love the fundamental part of state He has borne all things well: and I do think O God! that one might read the book of fate, Until thy head be circled with the same. Beyond the infinite and boundless reach Envy your great deservings and good name, I'll hear no more: die, prophet in thy speech: Northumberland, say thus the king returns: Get the learned writer to set down our Madam, it will not lie where it concerns If you should die before him, where's her dower? Nor no one here; for curses never pass Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MCCXXXVI - "MINEISTHYGOODR" Must you, Sir John, protect my lady here? I like him not, nor stands it safe with us Not making worse what nature made so clear, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less It is noised he hath a mass of treasure.

Poor pelting villages, sheepcotes, and mills, Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills To join your hearts in love and amity.

What was the last Damsel, I'll have a bout with you again, Exception bid him speak, and at this time Cause they take vengeance of such kind of men.

MCCXXXVIII - "ITFATHERTAKESD" I will, my lord; and doubt not so to deal The noisome weeds, which without profit suck Fortune, good night; smile once more, turn thy wheel. And hold-fast is the only dog, my duck: The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, Here where his daughter dwells; and on this coast Effect it with some care, that he may prove Receiving them from such a worthless post. That no supporter but the huge firm earth And thou art wedded to calamity. Knights of the garter were of noble birth, England and France might, through their amity, Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace: Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! MCCXXXIX - "ELIGHTTOSEEHIS" Endue you with the people's voice: remains Let's want no discipline, make no delay, I pledge your Grace; and if you knew what pains Go bid my woman feign a sickness; say Have vanquish'd the resistance of her youth, This morning are they fled away and gone; That in the way of loyalty and truth Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, She carved thee for her seal, and meant thereby Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Either to get the town again or die: He dies, we lose; I break my warlike word; If at Philippi we do face him there, Should bring thy father to his drooping chair. MCCXL - "ACTIVECHILDDOD" All kinds of arguments and question deep, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Thou quiet soul, sleep thou a quiet sleep I will advise you where to plant yourselves; Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Coffer, chest, trunk, well, vault, but he hath an How say you sir? Can you deny all this? I'll lay my head to any good man's hat, Like witless antics, one another meet, Double six thousand, and then treble that, Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? Or swell my thoughts to any strain of pride; Do what you will; your wisdom be your guide. MCCXLI - "EEDSOFYOUTHSOI" Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? Shall plead for me and tell my loving tale: Only this proof I'll of thy valour make, For do but note a wild and wanton herd, You would have thought the very windows spake, Or had he 'scaped, methinks we should have heard Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel, Here where his daughter dwells; and on this coast Scorn now their hand should give them burial. Of this escape and whither they are bound; I have done so, but he's not to be found. MCCXLII - "MADELAMEBYFORT" Make mouths upon me when I turn my back; A beast, to bear every knave's wrong. Deny their office: only you do lack Else had she with her father rang'd along. Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth, And, when he says he is, say that he dreams, Most true it is that I have look'd on truth Extremity still urgeth such extremes. But when from highmost pitch, with weary car, You fen-suck'd fogs, drawn by the pow'rful sun, For such as I am all true lovers are, On greatness' favour dream as I have done, Richer than that which four successive kings Therefore no more of it: hear other things. MCCXLIII - "UNESDEARESTSPI" Unless the Lady Bona quit his pain. Now, brother king, farewell, and sit you fast, Establish him in his true sense again, So like to him that got it, if thou hast Dispersed those vapours that offended us; Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus, Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. The care I had and have of subjects' good Sound, sound alarum! we will rush on them. Patch grief with proverbs, make misfortune drunk Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk! MCCXLIV - "TETAKEALLMYCOM" Then on, my lords; and France be fortunate! Even so void is your false heart of truth. The more that Henry was unfortunate. A loving nurse, a mother to his youth. Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair, Even for this let us divided live, And tempt the rheumy and unpurged air Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Lest parties, as he is beloved, break out, Much in the letters; nothing in the praise. You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays, Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. Most honourably doth unhold his word. MCCXLV - "FORTOFTHYWORTH" Forsooth, a blind man at Saint Alban's shrine, Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard For on my heart they tread now whilst I live; Though Argus were her eunuch and her guard: Henry is dead and never shall revive: Yet hath a woman's kindness over-ruled: We'll none of that: that have I told my love, Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of To lay on me a cruelty, by taking He speaks not like a man of God's making. MCCXLVI - "ANDTRUTHFORWHE" Amongst his subjects and his loyal friends, No, Warwick, no; while life upholds this arm, Do, chapels had been churches and poor men's The Earl of Wiltshire hath the realm in farm. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Unless thou rescue him from foul despair? The manner how this action hath been borne Here art thou in appointment fresh and fair, Four hundred twenty-six; and Charles the Great O my good lord, when I was like this maid, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Wherein my sword had not impressure made Hold, take thou this, my sweet, and give me thine, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. MCCXLVII - "THERBEAUTYBIRT" The burning torch in yonder turret stands. He murder cries and help from Athens calls. England, impatient of your just demands, Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: By'r lady, he is a good musician. Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. And say you do't by our permission; Under these windows, white and azure laced To hear good counsel: O, what learning is! You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb Borrows of the moon, when Diomed keeps his In doing courtesies, and one in whom Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. That will not trust thee but for profit's sake? MCCXLVIII - "HORWEALTHORWIT" Have aught committed that is hardly borne Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Which once untangled, much misfortune bodes: Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. As I intend more good to you and yours, Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: The mere despair of surgery, he cures, Have they been merry! which their keepers call O'ercome you with her show, and in time, Remember whom you are to cope withal; Which die for goodness, who have lived for crime. In the end of autumn turned to the rams, To revel in the entrails of my lambs. MCCXLIX - "ORANYOFTHESEAL" O, take his mother's thanks, a widow's thanks, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; And now at length they overflow their banks. No masque to-night: the wind is come about; You are so strongly in my purpose bred Of what hath come to pass: for when she saw-- For all my blood in Rome's great quarrel shed; That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw. How shall I honour thee for this success? Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Success and conquest to attend on us. Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best Look I so pale, Lord Dorset, as the rest? MCCL - "LORALLORMOREEN" Love's stories written in love's richest book. Or mine eyes seeing this, say this is not, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. And show thee all the treasure we have got, Lucretia's glove, wherein her needle sticks: Let's choose executors and talk of wills: Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Myself I'll forfeit, so that other mine Offer their own lives in their young's defence? Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Either be patient, and entreat me fair, No; let my father seek another heir. MCCLI - "TITLEDINTHYPAR" They swell, and grow as terrible as storms. In whose comparison all whites are ink, The extreme parts of time extremely forms Leave nothing out for length, and make us think Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. If I had play'd the desk or table book, Nor never seek prevention of thy foes. Than their offence can weigh down by the dram; He veils his tail that, like a falling plume, Yet I was mortally brought forth, and am Poor living corse, closed in a dead man's tomb! And I will speak, that so my heart may burst. Return and tell him so: we know the worst. MCCLII - "TSDOCROWNEDSIT" That if it would but apprehend some joy, She, silly queen, with more than love's good will, Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy O me! come near me now I am much ill. Comfort, dear mother: God is much displeased Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Only be patient till we have appeased Whether I live or die, be you the sons Now, say, Chatillon, what would France with us? Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Do me but right, and you must all confess Such comfort as do lusty young men feel I will not reason what is meant hereby, Than your consent gives strength to make it fly. MCCLIII - "IMAKEMYLOVEENG" Is my strict fast; I mean, my children's looks; My lord, in the base court he doth attend As rootedly as I. Burn but his books. Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, Early and late, debating to and fro Methinks I should revive the soldiers' hearts, You understand me not that tell me so: Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Give me some music. Now, good morrow, friends. MCCLIV - "RAFTEDTOTHISST" Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death. And still rest thine. The storm begins; poor wretch, Fainting, despair; despairing, yield thy breath! Think you I can a resolution fetch Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands They are, my lord, without the palace gate. O, had the monster seen those lily hands The dearer by I know how much an ounce. Ha! little honour to be much believed, Inclined to this intelligence, pronounce Such weak breath as this? No, you are deceived; Steal thine own freedom and complain on theft. This fool-begg'd patience in thee will be left. MCCLV - "ORESOTHENIAMNO" On pain of death, no person be so bold Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: So be my grave my peace as here I give O, throw away the worser part of it, This heavy act with heavy heart relate. His weapons holy saws of sacred writ, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, If you think meet, this afternoon will post And there reigns love and all love's loving parts, My lord, you do discomfort all the host! Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears. MCCLVI - "TLAMEPOORNORDE" That to his borrow'd bed he make retire, Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. And to fulfil his prince' desire, Means to immure herself and not be seen. Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Pronounce that sentence, then, on me, my liege; One that will play the devil, sir, with you, Ordained is to raise this tedious siege Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, Now, sir, who's a cuckold now? Master Brook, Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MCCLVII - "SPISEDWHILSTTH" Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form; Pronounce a sentence on your brother's life: I dare be bound he's true and shall perform Stand to me in this cause. O mother! wife! Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Doing the execution and the act Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast. How joyful am I made by this contract! Iron may hold with her, but never lutes. Look, who comes here! a grave unto a soul; Shall we go send them dinners and fresh suits There is no malice in this burning coal; Though woe be heavy, yet it seldom sleeps, His mother shames him so, poor boy, he weeps. MCCLVIII - "ATTHISSHADOWDO" A thousand fiends, a thousand hissing snakes, That have afflictions on them, knowing 'tis The ample proposition that hope makes Had of your father claim'd this son for his? I'll tent him to the quick. If he but blench, Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast! So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench His noble nephew here in virtue's nest, An offer, uncle, that we will accept: Dumb jewels often in their silent kind O, in a tomb where never scandal slept, Would, with themselves, shut up my thoughts: I find Do, good old grandsire, and withal make known O poor Orlando, thou art overthrown! MCCLIX - "THSUCHSUBSTANC" That labour may you save: see where he comes. He had, my lord: and when he ran in here, She shall be habited as it becomes Until her husband's welfare she did hear; Contrary, if Hero would be my wife. His noble friends and fellows, whom to leave Some happy mean to end a hapless life. Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull, Sit, gods, upon your thrones, and smile at Troy! Then I'll sit down. Give me some wine; fill full. A valiant son-in-law thou shalt enjoy; Now tell me, brother Clarence, what think you Come, let me see what task I have to do. MCCLX - "EGIVETHATIINTH" Even so void is your false heart of truth. Give it to me: what, is it in the case? In having known no travel in his youth. Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Take thou that too, with multiplying bans! Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like And interchangeably set down their hands, To show how quaint an orator you are: If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, If on my credit you dare build so far Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, This treasure of an oyster; at whose foot, How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? MCCLXI - "YABUNDANCEAMSU" You bade me ban, and will you bid me leave? And beauty making beautiful old rhyme Before my God, I might not this believe Under these hard conditions as this time Not I, my lord; sith true nobility Debts wither 'em to nothing; be men like And plant in tyrants mild humility. Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Could say she were worse: think you of a worse Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, A plague on thee! thou art too bad to curse. More should I question thee, and more I must, Such as befits the pleasure of the court? Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? MCCLXII - "FFICEDANDBYAPA" Form of the thing, each word made true and good, For we were subjects but while you were king. I cannot make you what amends I would, Come, come, I'll hear no more of this; I'll sing Engaging and redeeming of himself Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends, And, not without some scandal to yourself, No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Do not, in grant of all demands at large, Because I would not see thy cruel nails Your gracious self to take on you the charge And winds of all the comers kiss'd your sails, Playing the place which did no form receive, And craves to kiss your hand and take his leave. MCCLXIII - "RTOFALLTHYGLOR" Ready to catch each other by the throat, To pluck down justice from your awful bench, Or being wreck'd, I am a worthless boat, From forth the ranks of many thousand French, A wither'd branch, that's only green at top; Let him be ransom'd: never master had Like to a censer in a barber's shop. Thy overflow of good converts to bad, Hath he not lost much wealth by wreck of sea? Your brother Richard mark'd him for the grave: Give me that boy, and I will go with thee. Let him have time against himself to rave, O Richard! York is too far gone with grief, Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. MCCLXIV - "YLIVELOOKWHATI" You sent me to the bay, sir, for a bark. Let him alone, for I remember now It was the nightingale, and not the lark, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Let not the piece of virtue, which is set Or by what means got'st thou to be released? One Julia, that his changing thoughts forget, Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. When I behold--Seyton, I say!--This push How I would make him fawn and beg and seek Am I your bird? I mean to shift my bush, That both mine eyes were rainy like to his : It shall be what o'clock I say it is. MCCLXV - "SBESTTHATBESTI" Strike, as thou didst at Caesar; for, I know, But when contention and occasion meet, Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Since I must lose the use of all deceit? To stop affliction, let him take his haste, This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange Have of their puissance made a little taste. And says that once more I shall interchange To crouch in litter of your stable planks, But did you not request to have it cut? Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What! The herd hath more annoyance by the breeze I cannot be much lower than my knees. MCCLXVI - "WISHINTHEETHIS" Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars, It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. Shall I so much dishonour my fair stars, He was a gentleman on whom I built I am the last of noble Edward's sons, Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims The fountain from the which my current runs, He would not answer to: forbad all names; Even so void is your false heart of truth. Expecting in return twenty for one? Their bodies to the lust of English youth Hath this brave manage, this career, been run. It shall advantage more than do us wrong. Shall never see so much, nor live so long. MCCLXVII - "WISHIHAVETHENT" Why, whither, Adam, wouldst thou have me go? If this be error and upon me proved, So two, together weeping, make one woe. How I have ever loved the life removed Is Talbot slain, the Frenchmen's only scourge, How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? And here I stand, both to impeach and purge Visit the speechless sick and still converse Engaging and redeeming of himself There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends; Horatio!- or I do forget myself. Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste. MCCLXVIII - "ENTIMESHAPPYME" Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Nor by the matter which your heart prompts you, Then have my lips the sin that they have took. I pray you, tarry: pause a day or two My mind hath been as big as one of yours, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Her brother is in secret come from France; As thy eye-beams, when their fresh rays have smote Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; Pies; mace; dates?--none, that's out of my note; You wrong me, sir, thus still to haunt my house: Might be affronted with the match and weight Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MCCLXIX - "HOWCANMYMUSEWA" Having first seized his books, or with a log One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Why, madam, if I were your father's dog, Cannot a plain man live and think no harm, Art then forsaken, as thou went'st forlorn! Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn, You have a noble and a true conceit My spirit can no longer bear these harms. Up- so. How is't? Feel you your legs? You stand. Spending his manly marrow in her arms, Every man shift for all the rest, and Were wreck'd upon this shore; where I have lost-- Ay, grief, I fear me, both at first and last. MCCLXX - "NTSUBJECTTOINV" No; fifteen hundred foot, five hundred horse, Thy thoughts with nobleness; that thou mayst prove Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force, Unless good counsel may the cause remove. But with as humble lowliness of mind Jaques of Chatillon, admiral of France; Expect him here: when he shall come and find Cheerly to sea; the signs of war advance: The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Tell-tale nor no breed-bate: his worst fault is, O, yes, my lord, but very idle words; I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis, No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? MCCLXXI - "ENTWHILETHOUDO" Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. No bitterness that I will bitter think, To-morrow will I wear it on my helm, Whilst, like a willing patient, I will drink Hath for your love a great a pang of heart Is found a truth now: for it grows again Let them have scope: though what they do impart Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Than their offence can weigh down by the dram; Have I in conquest stretch'd mine arm so far, O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Drove back again unto my native clime? Only it spoils the pleasure of the time. MCCLXXII - "STBREATHETHATP" Sweet rest his soul! Fly, lords, and save yourselves; To new-found methods and to compounds strange? But this I know, they have demean'd themselves Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Envenom him with words, or get thee gone As the death-bed whereon it must expire That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, Each Trojan that is master of his heart, That do contrive how many hands shall strike, How can I then be elder than thou art? And to proclaim it civilly, were like Then let your will attend on their accords. Poor we may call them in their native lords. MCCLXXIII - "OURSTINTOMYVER" Of old Sir Rowland! Why, what make you here? Unpeg the basket on the house's top, Rather to wonder at the things you hear Say that I linger'd with you at your shop Than I can wish to adders, spiders, toads, I had forgot! 'Tis so concluded on. Nay, in all confidence, he's not for Rhodes. Thou bring'st me happiness and peace, son John; O noble judge! O excellent young man! Most throughly to be winnow'd, where my chaff You spy! what do you spy? Come, give me an Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Right glad I am he was not at this fray. MCCLXXIV - "SETHINEOWNSWEE" Shall be discover'd; please you, sit and hark. Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! They would not mark me, or if they did mark, Her best is better'd with a more delight. If you did know to whom I gave the ring, Nay, there is some comfort in the news, some Egregious murderer, thief, any thing O unbid spite! is sportful Edward come? Without eyes, ears and harmful sound of words; No other obligation! By my life, Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Why do you look so strange upon your wife? Extorted treasure in the womb of earth England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MCCLXXV - "TARGUMENTTOOEX" To seem like him: so that in speech, in gait, A giving hand, though foul, shall have fair praise. Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Great Albion's queen in former golden days: Unto the legions on the other side. My sister may receive it much more worse, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Nor was not to be equall'd;'--thus your verse That noble honour'd lord, is fear'd and loved? That from it all consideration slips! Of credit infinite, highly beloved, O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, eXcept to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MCCLXXVI - "CELLENTFOREVER" Could witness it, for he was with me then; Empale him with your weapons round about; Let me ne'er hope to see a chine again Lest parties, as he is beloved, break out, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Nor need'st thou much importune me to that That yet can do thee office? If thou hast, For some, untuck'd, descended her sheaved hat, O day! O day! O day! O hateful day! Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MCCLXXVII - "YVULGARPAPERTO" Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Uneath may she endure the flinty streets, Let it be who it is: for Romans now Gentle Lucetta, fit me with such weeds A mother and two brothers: but, O scorn! Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Proves valueless: you are forsworn, forsworn; And that be heir to his unhappiness! Play with your fancies, and in them behold Each day still better other's happiness; Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Thou shouldst a husband take by my consent, Of his bright passage to the occident. MCCLXXVIII - "REHEARSEOGIVET" Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Had sent to me first, but for my mind's sake; Each jealous of the other, as the stung Another time mine eye is my heart's guest Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, Sirrah, come hither; 'tis no time to jest, Establish him in his true sense again, On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Go muster men; but, hear you, leave behind I shall indue you with: meantime but ask Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Edward and York; then haply she will weep: That thus we die, while remiss traitors sleep. MCCLXXIX - "HYSELFTHETHANK" Have glow'd like plated Mars, now bend, now turn, Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. She is not bred so dull but she can learn; Except mine own name: that some whirlwind bear Like fragments in hard voyages, became For tears do stop the flood-gates of her eyes. To tell your grace, that, having heard by fame How rarely does it meet with this time's guise, Even in the presence of the crowned king. That yet we sleep, we dream. Do not you think Hands and they unwashed too, 'tis a foul thing. Away the performance: therefore, much drink Neither of either; I remit both twain. Kneel in the streets and beg for grace in vain. MCCLXXX - "SIFAUGHTINMEWO" Such as seafaring men provide for storms; I look'd her in the face, and saw her led Full of strange shapes, of habits and of forms, And who cannot abuse a body dead? Under pretence to see the queen his aunt-- Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift, Henry doth claim the crown from John of Gaunt, That from my first have been inclined to thrift; I know you wise, but yet no farther wise Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall. Making a famine where abundance lies, Else shall you not have any hand at all When they have lost and forfeited themselves? Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. MCCLXXXI - "RTHYPERUSALSTA" Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, To smooth his fault I should have been more mild: Here was he merry, hearing of a song. You are as fond of grief as of your child. Patroclus' wounds have roused his drowsy blood, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Upon the winds command, bind them in brass, Since I first call'd my brother's father dad. Ay, my good lord; a son that well deserves Let him be ransom'd: never master had Success or loss, what is or is not, serves That liked, but had a rougher task in hand As more at large your grace shall understand. MCCLXXXII - "NDAGAINSTTHYSI" Nay, he is dead; and slain by Edward's hand. Defend the justice of my cause with arms, As more at large your grace shall understand. Good parts aside I have no other charms. And graceless traitor to her loving lord? I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Now sits the wind fair, and we will aboard. Seem they in motion? Here are sever'd lips, That I would set my lie on any chance, The sweetest sleep, and fairest-boding dreams His father revell'd in the heart of France, You came not of one mother then, it seems. Say I am merry: come to me again, I shall be glad to learn of noble men. MCCLXXXIII - "GHTFORWHOSSODU" Great Lord of Warwick, if we should recount He entertain'd a show so seeming just, There is a gentleman that serves the count For which I would not plead, but that I must; O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts; Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. Which hides your life and shows not half your parts. Her face the book of praises, where is read Or women's sake, by whom we men are men, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough Should hold up high in brass, and such again Or shall we sparingly show you far off Dar'st thou support a publish'd traitor? Hence! Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. MCCLXXXIV - "MBTHATCANNOTWR" Methinks I should not thus be led along, But she is arm'd for him and keeps her guard That policy may either last so long, He took me by the wrist and held me hard; And you yourself shall steer the happy helm. That the precipitation might down stretch Confess thy treasons ere thou fly the realm; And she alone were cold: whereat I, wretch, Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Nor none so bad, but it may well be told. Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. To watch the night in storms, the day in cold, Was carried towards Corinth, as we thought. Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MCCLXXXV - "ITETOTHEEWHENT" In no less working than are swords and bows This morning for ten thousand of your throats Except it be to pray against thy foes. The lining of his coffers shall make coats O woe! thy canopy is dust and stones;-- Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones Enter, and cry 'The Dauphin!' presently, England shall give him office, honour, might; Which made me down to throw my books, and fly-- Hark, countrymen! either renew the fight, Embowell'd will I see thee by and by: Nor leave not one behind that doth not wish To put good meat into an unclean dish. MCCLXXXVI - "HOUTHYSELFDOST" How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds Of civil wounds plough'd up with neighbours' sword; Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; The rebels are in Southwark; fly, my lord! Hearing of your arrival in this realm, Yields to the theft. Had he been where he thought, Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum For fear, I promise you, if I look pale. Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. Or else his head's assurance is but frail. Sure, these are but imaginary wiles Take you your instrument, play you the whiles! MCCLXXXVII - "GIVEINVENTIONL" Got! thou hast got more hair on thy chin than I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, I think the Duke of Burgundy will fast Now is it manhood, wisdom and defence, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge The self-same gods that arm'd the Queen of Troy In this I'll be impartial; be you judge Or sells eternity to get a toy? Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen. Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. MCCLXXXVIII - "IGHTBETHOUTHET" It seem'd they would debate with angry swords. Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front; How far into the morning is it, lords? The noble Westmoreland and warlike Blunt; Being mechanical, you ought not walk Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. Had I but served my God with half the zeal Except a sword or sceptre balance it: The due of honour in no point omit. MCCLXXXIX - "ENTHMUSETENTIM" Effect it with some care, that he may prove Nor it nor no remembrance what it was: The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, He never was so womanish; the cause Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. That I despise thee for thy wrongful suit, Ere further leisure yield them further means Norfolk, throw down, we bid; there is no boot. To be depender on a thing that leans, It shall be eased, if France can yield relief. Mine eyes are full of tears, my heart of grief. MCCXC - "ESMOREINWORTHT" Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; She would not lose it: her attendants are My sacred aunt, should by my mortal sword O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! Refuse you for my judge; whom, yet once more, Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve I had no judgment when to her I swore. Now, sister, let us hear your firm resolve. Where noble fellows strike: war is no strife One whose hard heart is button'd up with steel; Render me worthy of this noble wife! To use so rude behavior; go to, kneel. Have by some surgeon, Shylock, on your charge, This packet, please it you, contains at large. MCCXCI - "HANTHOSEOLDNIN" Here is a hand to hold a sceptre up And your great-uncle's, Edward the Black Prince, Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Twelve several times, and I have nightly since He breathes, my lord. Were he not warm'd with ale, Out of mine own; his days and times are past Sleeping or waking must I still prevail, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit, Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? No bitterness that I will bitter think, If then thy spirit look upon us now, Nor wittingly have I infringed my vow. MCCXCII - "EWHICHRHYMERSI" Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. We were not all unkind, nor all deserve Here stands the spring whom you have stain'd with mud, I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve Corrupters of my faith! you shall no more Her honour is an essence that's not seen; Remove these thoughts from you: the which before Have by the very cunning of the scene You are the hare of whom the proverb goes, My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: Except it be to pray against thy foes. Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Show me your image in some antique book, If you suppose as fearing you it shook. MCCXCIII - "NVOCATEANDHETH" Nobody come? then shall I bleed to death. Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: On either side I come to spend my breath; Ca, ha! he bounds from the earth, as if his And he, the noble image of my youth, The clock struck nine when I did send the nurse; Even so void is your false heart of truth. And crowns for convoy put into his purse: Necessity's sharp pinch! Return with her? Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Himself! no, he's not himself: would a' were Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? That in a Christian climate souls refined He says they can do nothing in this kind. MCCXCIV - "ATCALLSONTHEEL" A sign of dignity, a garish flag, Therefore prepare thee to cut off the flesh. Caesar made here; but made not here his brag A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh Look, when he fawns, he bites; and when he bites, Let me go grind their bones to powder small Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights: O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Nor fear of bad success in a bad cause, The thing we have; and, all for want of wit, Have banged the youth into dumbness. This was Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Expecting in return twenty for one? Lo, he is tilting straight! Peace! I have done. MCCXCV - "ETHIMBRINGFORT" Employ'd you where high profits might come home, The field of Golgotha and dead men's skulls. He hath brought many captives home to Rome I do beweep to many simple gulls Myself, as far as I could well discern By heaven, all dry-beaten with pure scoff! Ready to go, but never to return. I like your silence, it the more shows off Never did faithful subject more rejoice Got with much ease. Now merrily to horse: For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Of soft petitions, pity and remorse, Returns with precious jading to the bay Thy huntress' name that my full life doth sway. MCCXCVI - "HETERNALNUMBER" Have scared thy husband from the use of wits. Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. To cool this heat, a charm to calm these fits. Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Revel the night, rob, murder, and commit No bitterness that I will bitter think, A man already made, as to remit Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! Name her not now, sir; she's a deadly theme. Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. My love and her desert; that canst not dream, Brother of England, how may we content Edward and Clarence. O, what cause have I, Richard, enough; I will be king, or die. MCCXCVII - "STOOUTLIVELONG" Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? The story that is printed in her blood? On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? Under these windows, white and azure laced That in their kind they speak it: only sin Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: I pull in resolution, and begin Verona, for a while I take my leave, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve O, but with mine compare thou thine own state, No matter whither, so you come not here. Good morrow, Kate- for that's your name, I hear. MCCXCVIII - "DATEIFMYSLIGHT" Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike And he my husband best of all affects. Than those I shed for him. What was he like? Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn, Farewell: I'll grow a talker for this gear. My Lord of Gloucester, I have too long borne Yare, yare, good Iras; quick. Methinks I hear Sound, sound alarum! we will rush on them. Lending him wit that to bad debtors lends: I would be so triumphant as I am? Give me some music. Now, good morrow, friends. How have you made division of yourself? That I have much ado to know myself. MCCXCIX - "MUSEDOPLEASETH" Methought I had; and often did I strive Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Shall as a pattern or a measure live Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears Of six preceding ancestors, that gem, Posterity, await for wretched years, Let me have open means to come to them, Exception bid him speak, and at this time And pray thee take this mercy to provide Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. To dote thus on such luggage? Let's alone Have I not reason to prefer mine own? MCCC - "ESECURIOUSDAYS" Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Seditious to his grace and to the state. Each present lord began to promise aid, Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd hate: Unquestion'd welcome and undoubted blest. Romeo, that she were, O, that she were I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest Obey the bride, you that attend on her; Unto a stranger knight to be so bold: Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge: Dearer than Plutus' mine, richer than gold: And there the strawy Greeks, ripe for his edge, Your lord and master did well to make his Sirrah, thy lord I honour as he is. MCCCI - "THEPAINBEMINEB" The burning torch in yonder turret stands. Hath willingly departed with a part, England, impatient of your just demands, Portia, adieu. I have too grieved a heart And still enjoy thy regal dignity. I see a better state to me belongs Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. Brutus, this sober form of yours hides wrongs; Edward and York; then haply she will weep: My love shall hear the music of my hounds. I find it still, when I have list to sleep: Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, But, in defence, by mercy, 'tis most just. MCCCII - "UTTHINESHALLBE" Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave Those that would die or ere resist are grown Thou hast repeal'd, a second time receive Have I not reason to prefer mine own? I would not thy good deeds should from my lips No less in pity than his glory which Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: So will I turn her virtue into pitch, Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones A woeful hostess brooks not merry guests: Lest that thy wives with spits and boys with stones Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Be drops of balm to sanctify thy head; Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? MCCCIII - "THEPRAISEOHOWT" The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen Have I pluck'd off, to grace thy brows withal: Establish him in his true sense again, Perhaps you mark'd not what's the pith of all. Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud? I came unto your court for honour's cause, She that was ever fair and never proud, Each in his office ready at thy beck. Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome. Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, Once did I get him bound and sent him home, Whilst that Lavinia 'tween her stumps doth hold These griefs, these woes, these sorrows make me old. MCCCIV - "HYWORTHWITHMAN" Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. You see how simple and how fond I am. Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. Or shall they last, and we rejoice in them? Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. That tremble at the imagination? Had not their bark been very slow of sail; Were't not that, by great preservation, In all her best array bear her to church: That he would labour my delivery. He is but one: you and my brother search My lodging out. Give him a livery And shall, or some of us will smart for it. Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. MCCCV - "NERSMAYISINGWH" Nay, then 'tis time to stir him from his trance. Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Reignier, her father, to the king of France Sprinkle cool patience! Whereon do you look? My chaplain to no creature living, but A light condition in a beauty dark. You speak, Lord Mowbray, now you know not what. Into the main of waters. Music! hark! Seducing so my friends; and, to this end, I may not go without you to the kings. Nature's bequest gives nothing but doth lend, Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Which I denying, they fell sick and died; Here comes my sister, reading; stand aside. MCCCVI - "ENTHOUARTALLTH" Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims That might annoy my finger? 'tis so strange, He would not answer to: forbad all names; Of both your armies; whose equality Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks Attend your office and your quality. Reignier of France, I give thee kingly thanks, The commonwealth is sick of their own choice; A mighty and a fearful head they are, Lies my consent and fair according voice. Like to a dismal clangour heard from far, This sound of hope doth labour to expel; Here's one, a friend, and one that knows you well. MCCCVII - "EBETTERPARTOFM" Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Bloody and guilty, guiltily awake, Every man shift for all the rest, and Thou canst not say I did it: never shake They were all struck for thee! naught that I am, Envy your great deservings and good name, Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Puppet? why so? ay, that way goes the game. All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick. Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. Of that proud man that did usurp his back? From thee to die were torture more than death: May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath. MCCCVIII - "EWHATCANMINEOW" Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Why should we in the compass of a pale He is but one: you and my brother search And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale. To scorch your face and to disfigure you. Come on, lay it by: and let's first see moe And touch thy instrument a strain or two? Not of that dye which their investments show, My love with words and errors still she feeds; Is business of estate; in which we come Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Of both your armies; whose equality What is thy name? I know thy quality. MCCCIX - "NPRAISETOMINEO" Nature hath meal and bran, contempt and grace. Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, And curd, like eager droppings into milk, In all which time you and your husband Grey She shall not long continue love to him. Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. O, had thy mother borne so hard a mind, More upon humour than advised respect. I must be cruel, only to be kind; Nor construe any further my neglect, Empties itself, as doth an inland brook O, who can give an oath? where is a book? MCCCX - "WNSELFBRINGAND" Where are thy children? wherein dost thou, joy? Now, mistress, profit you in what you read? Sith in his prime Death doth my love destroy, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Looking before and after, gave us not Fear not; 'tis empty of all things but grief; But fear the main intendment of the Scot, Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. I hope this reason stands for my excuse. Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Go, take it up unto thy master's use. And hasty, like a Scotch jig, and full as Nor it nor no remembrance what it was: Depose him in the justice of his cause. MCCCXI - "WHATISTBUTMINE" We'll show thee Io as she was a maid Here at my house and at my proper cost. And I had many living to upbraid That robs thee of thy goodness! If thou dost I long to know the truth hereof at large. So shall you quietly enjoy your hope That yarely frame the office. From the barge Before you all, appeal unto the pope, Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. Than in possession and jot of pleasure. My mother is assailed in our tent, It is noised he hath a mass of treasure. Nature is fine in love, and where 'tis fine, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. MCCCXII - "OWNWHENIPRAISE" O Mistress Ford, what have you done? You're shamed, What mean you, sir? for God's sake, hold your hands! Nor iron on his heel! I am ashamed When it is mingled with regards that stands How far is it, my lord, to Berkeley now? Environed with all these hideous fears? Needs must I under my transgression bow, In sight of England and her lordly peers, Painting thy outward walls so costly gay? Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: And in mine own love's strength seem to decay, I am best pleased to be from such a deed. Sometime all full with feasting on your sight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MCCCXIII - "THEEEVENFORTHI" These eyes, these brows, were moulded out of his: Hath made a shameful conquest of itself. Ere such another Julius. Britain is England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Now, welcome, Kate: and bear me witness all, For the base matter to illuminate O boy, thy father gave thee life too soon, Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, The breese upon her, like a cow in June, How she opposes her against my will In the world, if a' could get her good-will. MCCCXIV - "SLETUSDIVIDEDL" Shall as a carpet hang upon thy grave, Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; Seeming to bury that posterity Dar'st thou support a publish'd traitor? Hence! It is no sin at all, but charity. Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. If sad and merry madness equal be. During whose reign the Percies of the north, Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee Dispersed those vapours that offended us; Like Muscovites or Russians, as I guess. MCCCXV - "IVEANDOURDEARL" If that thy father live, let him repent Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Either of king or council, when you went And never from this palace of dim night Now, by Saint Paul, this news is bad indeed. Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; O, say thou for her, who hath done this deed? Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Return, return, and make thy love amends. Descend unto the daughter. Gracious lord, Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, A crutch, a crutch! why call you for a sword? Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Loseth his pride and never waxeth strong. MCCCXVI - "OVELOSENAMEOFS" O, had the monster seen those lily hands Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; England, impatient of your just demands, Lie further off yet, do not lie so near. Or else his head's assurance is but frail. Strato, thou hast been all this while asleep; Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep. And salt too little which may season give Master, your love must live a maid at home; Even for this let us divided live, Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome. For goodness' sake, consider what you do; Sir, my good friend- I'll change that name with you. MCCCXVII - "INGLEONETHATBY" I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault, Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault, Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. Exposing what is mortal and unsure Of that proud man that did usurp his back? Now will I hence to seek my lovely Moor, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Through all the kingdoms that acknowledge Christ: How covert matters may be best disclosed, And when my knightly stomach is sufficed, The mariners say how thou hast disposed But the worst of me. So, I leave you, sir, You should enter, if your trade be to her. MCCCXVIII - "THISSEPARATION" The king shall be contented: must he lose Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. I think there is not half a kiss to choose So old and white as this! O! O! 'tis foul! She had not brought forth thee, but died unkind. Enough to stifle such a villain up. Plucking the grass, to know where sits the wind, Are they gone, and there they intend to sup. Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them And better in my mind not undertook. Then know that I, one Snug the joiner, am I must be patient till the heavens look O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Never hung poison on a fouler toad. MCCCXIX - "IMAYGIVETHATDU" I knew her by this jewel on her sleeve. More should I question thee, and more I must, And give your hearts to, when they once perceive You never had a servant to whose trust Goes it against the main of Poland, sir, If of my freedom 'tis the main part, take Values itself so highly that to her Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp'st intents, Her highness is in safety, fear you not: And sigh'd his soul toward the Grecian tents, That thou so many princes at a shot Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? MCCCXX - "ETOTHEEWHICHTH" Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Take thou some of it, and seek through this grove: O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! To spite a raven's heart within a dove. His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes; Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Except it be to pray against thy foes. When that the sleeping man should stir; for 'tis Her father means she shall be all in white, Into the hearts of such as have not thrived Comb down his hair; look, look! it stands upright, He durst not sit there, had your father lived. Than in possession and jot of pleasure. Hear ye, captain, are you not at leisure? MCCCXXI - "OUDESERVESTALO" Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast Upon the maiden virtue of the crown. Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast: Enow to press a royal merchant down Shall bear along impawn'd, away to-night! Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Richly in both, if justice had her right. Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Shall seize one half his goods; the other half To order peace between them; and omit And yet the steer, the heifer and the calf Look ye draw home enough, and 'tis there straight. O any thing, of nothing first create! MCCCXXII - "NEOABSENCEWHAT" Not like a guest; so you shall pay your fees Extremity still urgeth such extremes. O, take her home, mistress, take her home: these And, when he says he is, say that he dreams, But his occasion might have woo'd me first; So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Come on, you thick lipp'd slave, I'll bear you hence; Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. We must awake endavour for defence; How now, ambitious Humphry! what means this? And make the Douglas' son your only mean True colours, and not ourselves be seen? MCCCXXIII - "ATORMENTWOULDS" As apt as new-fall'n snow takes any dint. The aim of all is but to nurse the life O, I could hew up rocks and fight with flint, Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife: More should I question thee, and more I must, End in one purpose, and be all well borne Nay, after that, consume away in rust To wrong my friend, I shall be much forsworn; We will unite the white rose and the red: Or with a little shuffling, you may choose Unto the commons whom thou hast misled; Lend me the letter; let me see what news. Drag hence her husband to some secret hole, Shall I lay perjury upon my soul? MCCCXXIV - "TTHOUPROVEWERE" There let him stand, and rave, and cry for food; Thy letters have transported me beyond His corrigible neck, his face subdued Of forfeiture, of justice and his bond. Under your good correction, I have seen, Prince Bassianus, leave to plead my deeds: Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else one self mate and mate could not beget Where subjects' eyes do learn, do read, do look. Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. Except it be to pray against thy foes. MCCCXXV - "ITNOTTHYSOURLE" I'll lay my head to any good man's hat, To come thus was I not constrain'd, but did Nor need'st thou much importune me to that Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid? The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, To play with mammets and to tilt with lips: His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, You here at Milford-Haven with your ships: Some that will thank you, making just report O Hero, what a Hero hadst thou been, Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MCCCXXVI - "ISUREGAVESWEET" I know but of a single part, in aught So there's my riddle: one that's dead is quick: Unlike young men, whom Aristotle thought Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; And to proclaim it civilly, were like Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: She holds her virtue still and I my mind. Why did you so cry out, sirs, in your sleep? Expect him here: when he shall come and find Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. MCCCXXVII - "LEAVETOENTERTA" Let my presumption not provoke thy wrath; Expect your highness' doom of life or death. As well descended as thyself; and hath Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Therefore, that I may conquer fortune's spite O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, That no man enter till my tale be done. Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. To find thy brother Bassianus dead. And buried once, why not upon my head? MCCCXXVIII - "INTHETIMEWITHT" I saw their weapons drawn: there was a noise, Not he that sets his foot upon her back. That I shall lose distinction in my joys; He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought The fairest queen that ever king received. It was not she that call'd him, all-to naught: Make me, that nothing have, with nothing grieved, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, When reason is the bawd to lust's abuse! If he see aught in you that makes him like, To tell this story, that you might excuse How came the noble Timon to this change? To new-found methods and to compounds strange? MCCCXXIX - "HOUGHTSOFLOVEW" Here's a good world the while! Why who's so gross, O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, So, leave him all. Well, my companion friends, Open Thy gate of mercy, gracious God! For these known evils, but to give me leave, Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; Or, if thou follow me, do not believe Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. What say these young ones? What say you my niece? MCCCXXX - "HICHTIMEANDTHO" His honesty rewards him in itself; If I depart from thee, I cannot live; Come, quench your blushes and present yourself His taken labours bid him me forgive; The eagle suffers little birds to sing, I owe him little duty, and less love; Makes him oppose himself against his king. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. And, had I first been put to speak my mind, Name her not now, sir; she's a deadly theme. Dumb jewels often in their silent kind That bastes his arrogance with his own seam He must observe their mood on whom he jests, Or hateful cuckoos hatch in sparrows' nests? MCCCXXXI - "UGHTSSOSWEETLY" Unmeritable shuns your high request. Gracious triumpher in the eyes of Rome! Hath a great scene: the image of the jest This true which they so seem to fear. Go home, So then two bosoms and a single troth. Since that the truest issue of thy throne O, would he did! and so perhaps he doth: Sir, you have wrestled well, and overthrown Which we much rather had depart withal Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Else shall you not have any hand at all The tide is now: nay, not thy tide of tears; Let fair humanity abhor the deed You are a saucy boy: is't so, indeed? MCCCXXXII - "DOTHDECEIVEAND" Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. O, thou didst prophesy the time would come Take you the lute, and you the set of books; Hope, sir, if you thrive, you'll remember from Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Captive to thee and to thy Roman yoke, Either be gone before the watch be set, I never saw a better fashion'd gown, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Am like to do: take in your arms this piece Never came reformation in a flood, Do execution on my flesh and blood. MCCCXXXIII - "THATTHOUTEACHE" That weigh their pains in sense and do suppose Hasting to feed her fawn hid in some brake. A bed-swerver, even as bad as those Then after to her father will I break; To bear the tidings of calamity. How irksome is this music to my heart! Of our restored love and amity. Unless thou wert more loyal than thou art: The worth of that is that which it contains, Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, And so much less of shame in me remains, Can truly say he gives, if he receives: Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, Each in his office ready at thy beck. MCCCXXXIV - "STHOWTOMAKEONE" Shall rain their drift of bullets on this town. The deep-green emerald, in whose fresh regard He makes for England, there to claim the crown. Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard When you shall please to play the thieves for wives, That hast deceived so many with thy vows? Or any creeping venom'd thing that lives! My daughter might have been: my queen's square brows; And these breed honour: that is honour's scorn, Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, End in one purpose, and be all well borne On bloody courses, the rude scene may end Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. MCCCXXXV - "TWAINBYPRAISIN" Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, We four indeed confronted were with four And by the royalties of both your bloods, If you had sent but two hours before,-- No more the thirsty entrance of this soil But I'll amerce you with so strong a fine You of my household, leave this peevish broil Poor gentleman! his wrong doth equal mine. Richly in both, if justice had her right. And lastly, to confirm that amity I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight; Sticking together in calamity. If Henry were recall'd to life again, Nor God, nor I, delights in perjured men. MCCCXXXVI - "GHIMHEREWHODOT" Give it a plum, a cherry, and a fig: Hath twice done salutation to the morn; I Pompey am, Pompey surnamed the Big-- Make modest Dian cloudy and forlorn, Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. We do condemn thee to the very block Huntsman, I charge thee, tender well my hounds; O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds O, that record could with a backward look, That,--hissing hot,--think of that, Master Brook. MCCCXXXVII - "HHENCEREMAINTA" He bravely broach'd is boiling bloody breast; Have done a drunken slaughter, and defaced Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; CORIOLANUS! Either be patient, and entreat me fair, Resolvedly more leisure shall express: Environ you, till mischief and despair My love and her desert; that canst not dream, And to the painted banquet bids my heart; Into the channel, till the lowest stream Not possible; for who shall bear your part There stay until the twelve celestial signs Appointed to direct these fair designs. MCCCXXXVIII - "KEALLMYLOVESMY" Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; All things in common nature should produce Like to a dismal clangour heard from far, Lieutenant, is it you whose voice I hear? My frail mortality to know itself, You know the cause, air, of my standing here. Let dying Mortimer here rest himself. O hard-believing love, how strange it seems Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Extremity still urgeth such extremes. So cowardly; and but for these vile guns, My resolution, love, shall be thy boast, You all look strangely on me; and you most. MCCCXXXIX - "LOVEYEATAKETHE" Lords, take your places; and, I pray you all, Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears. Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Environed with all these hideous fears? Yet did repent me, after more advice; Envenom him with words, or get thee gone As jewels purchased at an easy price; The Roman legions, all from Gallia drawn, And he's at some hard point. Speak, man: thy tongue Knighted in field, slain manfully in arms, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, Here comes my sister, reading; stand aside. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. MCCCXL - "MALLWHATHASTTH" More villain thou. Well, push him out of doors; And may it be that you have quite forgot Long since thy husband served me in my wars, Like the brooch and the tooth-pick, which wear not When one but of my ordinance stood up How like the prodigal doth she return, Are they gone, and there they intend to sup. That you have no such mirrors as will turn Have no perfection of my summer left, As Falstaff, she and I, are newly met, Steal thine own freedom and complain on theft. To quicken your increase, I will beget That I have much ado to know myself. Hath made a shameful conquest of itself. MCCCXLI - "OUTHENMORETHAN" Of soft petitions, pity and remorse, Unarm thee, go, and doubt thou not, brave boy, The other yet may rise against their force. Hector, by this, is arming him in Troy; Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; None in the world; nor do I know the man. More fierce and more inexorable far Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan Rome and the righteous heavens be my judge, Exampled by the first pace that is sick The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge How dearly would it touch me to the quick, And, in good time! now will we break with him. Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. MCCCXLII - "THOUHADSTBEFOR" Thou shouldst be colour'd thus. You married ones, He sends ye not to murder me for this One fit to bandy with thy lawless sons, Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, All this from my remembrance brutish wrath Devise but how you'll use him when he comes, She's a witch; forbade her my house and hath There is a willow grows aslant a brook, Being Leonatus, doth import so much. Else you may be marvellously mistook. For friends kill friends, and the disorder's such O! my fear interprets: what, is he dead? Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. MCCCXLIII - "ENOLOVEMYLOVET" Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Nay, if thou be that princely eagle's bird, Orsino's mistress and his fancy's queen. Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word Of both your armies; whose equality Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. Might I but live to see thee in my touch, Your hostages I have, so have you mine; Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve Offer pure incense to so pure a shrine: Verona, for a while I take my leave, England ne'er had a king until his time. To weigh how once I suffered in your crime. MCCCXLIV - "HATTHOUMAYSTTR" Have I enjoy'd the golden dew of sleep, And yours, close fighting ere I did approach: This is a strange repose, to be asleep That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Uncle, what shall we say to this in law? Murder not then the fruit within my womb, And, whilst I at a banquet hold him sure, You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; She shall undo her credit with the Moor. That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods! MCCCXLV - "UELOVECALLALLM" Upon his face an ocean of salt tears, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Lopped branches, which, being dead many years, O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; Cuts off so many years of fearing death. And fly would Talbot never, though he might. Let us with care perform his great behest. Let each man render me his bloody hand: And though thou now confess thou didst but jest, Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand, Leap in with me into this angry flood, Many will swoon when they do look on blood. MCCCXLVI - "INEWASTHINEBEF" If all were minded so, the times should cease Nor tell tales of thee to high-judging Jove. Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, What night-rule now about this haunted grove? Ask me what question thou canst possible, She had her breeding at my father's charge. Thou canst not, son; it is impossible. He calls me to a restitution large If thou art changed to aught, 'tis to an ass. Nor heady-rash, provoked with raging ire, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. But ne'er till now his scandal of retire. Even so void is your false heart of truth. Flat treason 'gainst the kingly state of youth. MCCCXLVII - "ORETHOUHADSTTH" O, had the monster seen those lily hands Replies her husband: 'do not take away England, impatient of your just demands, Then kings' misdeeds cannot be hid in clay. Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Outbrave the heart most daring on the earth, Until his army be dismiss'd from him. He with her plenty press'd, she faint with dearth And, hoodwink'd as thou art, will lead thee on Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time Surely, by all the glory you have won, To use my wings. Impute it not a crime That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, How! will she none? doth she not give us thanks? MCCCXLVIII - "ISMORETHENIFFO" If I did stay to look on his intents. Such a dependency of thing on thing, My poverty, but not my will, consents. O, how thy worth with manners may I sing, Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Either for life or death, upon the earth The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn Here come the lovers, full of joy and mirth. Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Now, Kate, I am a husband for your turn; Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Full often, like a shag-hair'd crafty kern, For they are harsh, untuneable and bad. O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! MCCCXLIX - "RMYLOVETHOUMYL" Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Madam, a noble gentleman of Rome, You, madam, for you are more nobly born, Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? One Julia, that his changing thoughts forget, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set To follow me and praise my eyes and face? Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; Of which, my lord, your honour is the last. Unless it be whilst some tormenting dream My foot shall fight with all the strength thou hast; You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha! Let him have all the rigor of the law. MCCCL - "OVERECEIVESTIC" Of maiden's patience. Hast thou slain him, then? Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Establish him in his true sense again, Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Consisting equally of horse and foot; Every man shift for all the rest, and I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Visit the speechless sick and still converse England and France might, through their amity, Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse, To bear the tidings of calamity. I will advise you where to plant yourselves; Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. MCCCLI - "ANNOTBLAMETHEE" As fast as they are made, forgot as soon No masque to-night: the wind is come about; Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. O monstrous, monstrous! and so falls it out To some ears unrecounted. But, my lords, By laboursome petition, and at last Let them want nothing that my house affords. And at my suit, sweet, pardon what is past. My restless discord loves no stops nor rests; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. The whilst their own birds famish in their nests: How were I then uplifted! but, alas! Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MCCCLII - "FORMYLOVETHOUU" For though usurpers sway the rule awhile, Of all the voices that we have procured Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Most ignorant of what he's most assured, Your uncle must not know but you are dead; Lorenzo, I commit into your hands Once I encounter'd him, and thus I said: Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Eternal numbers to outlive long date. To throw away the dearest thing he owed, How much I have disabled mine estate, Once more adieu! my father at the road Upon a homely object Love can wink. Under love's heavy burden do I sink. MCCCLIII - "SESTBUTYETBEBL" Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Sith I have cause, and will, and strength, and means The fishermen that walk upon the beach But He, that hath the steerage of my course, Upon whose leaves are drops of new-shed blood The thought of them would have stirr'd up remorse: Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Establish him in his true sense again, Though palaces and pyramids do slope But if I were as wise as honest, then England did never owe so sweet a hope, By thinking on fantastic summer's heat? Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet. MCCCLIV - "AMEDIFTHOUTHYS" Attested by the holy close of lips, Must take up us. So is the unfirm King Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, I will proclaim my name about the field: Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms Their silver cheeks, and call'd it then their shield; Hath yoked a nation strong, train'd up in arms. Our whole city is much bound to him. Under a cloak that is of any length. They come like sacrifices in their trim, Have robb'd my strong-knit sinews of their strength, Yet still she is the moon, and I the man. Speak, nephew, were you by when it began? MCCCLV - "ELFDECEIVESTBY" Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Let in that amity which you have made; For both hast thou, and both become the grave. Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Cave here, hunt here, are outlaws, and in time Environed with all these hideous fears? In the division of each several crime, Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Extorted treasure in the womb of earth Seek you to seize and gripe into your hands Though all that I can do is nothing worth, By day, by night, waking and in my dreams, You came not of one mother then, it seems. MCCCLVI - "WILFULTASTEOFW" Were you but riding forth to air yourself, I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts: Lord George your brother, Norfolk and myself, Filling the air with swords advanced and darts, Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Like her! O Isis! 'tis impossible. Till, like a boy, you see him cringe his face, Ask me what question thou canst possible, Some wanton charm upon this man and maid, To Theseus must be wedded, and you come Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, O, why should wrath be mute, and fury dumb? For poor'st diminutives, for doits; and let What love, think'st thou, I sue so much to get? MCCCLVII - "HATTHYSELFREFU" His hand, as proud of such a dignity, Against strange maladies a sovereign cure. They will digest this harsh indignity. To accessary yieldings, but still pure Her voice is stopt, her joints forget to bow; Yea, twice the sum: if that will not suffice, Show thee a jay's nest and instruct thee how Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, For, hark you, Tybalt being slain so late, Rather than so, come fate into the list. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. For making him egregiously an ass Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. MCCCLVIII - "SESTIDOFORGIVE" She pray'd me to excuse her keeping close, Expecting in return twenty for one? So does it no man else. Met'st thou my posts? There is no more but so: say it is done, I am content that he shall take the odds Do so. This jest shall cost me some expense. Of pain: nay, we must think men are not gods, From my Redeemer to redeem me hence; Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. Gazed each on other, and look'd deadly pale. In private will I talk with thee apart. Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MCCCLIX - "THYROBBERYGENT" There had she not been long, but she became His rougher accents for malicious sounds, York set him on to fight and die in shame, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns O insupportable and touching loss! But that's no matter; let him kill one first; Because it is a customary cross, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Raze out the written troubles of the brain You'ld venture an emballing: I myself God, for thy mercy! they are loose again. Engaging and redeeming of himself No princely commendations to my king? Their softest touch as smart as lizards' sting! MCCCLX - "LETHIEFALTHOUG" Lopped branches, which, being dead many years, Each hath his place and function to attend: The tide is now: nay, not thy tide of tears; Hath ordain'd to an honourable end, I learn'd in Worcester, as I rode along, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. For then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long, As plays the sun upon the glassy streams, Let me have men about me that are fat; That all love's pleasure shall not match his woe. He's a good fellow, I can tell you that. Only thus much I give your grace to know: Upon the gad? Edmund, how now? What news? Go, take it up unto thy master's use. MCCCLXI - "HTHOUSTEALTHEE" How calm and gentle I proceeded still Their wills: fill thy purse with money:--the food Hang over thee, as, sure, it shortly will; O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! Unless I flatter with myself too much. Should lift their bosoms higher than the shores To their approvers they are people such Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; A meaner than myself; since I myself Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host, The man that hath no music in himself, Here where his daughter dwells; and on this coast Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MCCCLXII - "ALLMYPOVERTYAN" A thousand fiends, a thousand hissing snakes, Let Antony look over Caesar's head Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Making my arms his field, his tent my bed. You have but jested with me all this while. Perish the man whose mind is backward now! O thou well skill'd in curses, stay awhile, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Yes, I beseech; or I shall short my word Are at their beads, 'tis hard to draw them thence, Nor send him forth that we may bear him hence. MCCCLXIII - "DYETLOVEKNOWSI" Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live Your crown and kingdom, indirectly held Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Two glasses, where herself herself beheld Lest, to thy peril, thou aby it dear. Or else you would not have bestow'd the heir Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Environ you, till mischief and despair Kill'd her, for whom my tears have made me blind. No part of him but will be shame in me. Or at the least this refuge let me find; We shall be late else; which I would not be, Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? I'll do thee service for so good a gift. MCCCLXIV - "TISAGREATERGRI" Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, I will not re-salute the streets of Rome, Swear by the duty that you owe to God-- And in a dark and dankish vault at home Give me my steeled coat. I'll fight for France. Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: And, which is more, she is not so divine, The soldiers' music and the rites of war Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Refuse you for my judge; whom, yet once more, Give me your gloves, I'll wear them for your sake; Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. I saw him once. He was a goodly king. MCCCLXV - "EFTOBEARLOVESW" Either to get the town again or die: From reason's yielding, your fair self should make The other, when she has obtain'd your eye, Or, if not so, thy noble heart to break: But first I'll turn yon fellow in his grave; Expect your highness' doom of life or death. A Roman and a British ensign wave Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, Or to be naked with her friend in bed Values itself so highly that to her Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Shall it for shame be spoken in these days, Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise. MCCCLXVI - "RONGTHANHATESK" Remuneration for the thing it was; O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit Never afflict yourself to know the cause; Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; Thou canst not, son; it is impossible. How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, Ask me what question thou canst possible, No, lord ambassador, I'll rather keep How often hast thou waited at my cup, And far the weaker with so strong a fear: The strong-wing'd Mercury should fetch thee up, Even or odd, of all days in the year, Shall win the wager which we will propose. Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. MCCCLXVII - "NOWNINJURYLASC" No, no, my heart will burst, and if I speak: Our archers shall be placed in the midst Why should poor beauty indirectly seek Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, In the division of each several crime, Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Joy absent, grief is present for that time. Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. And let thy misty vapours march so thick, See where she comes, and brings your froward wives Cut off the proud'st conspirator that lives. MCCCLXVIII - "IVIOUSGRACEINW" Is utterly bereft you; all is lost. Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, I am his first-born son, that was the last Or thy precedent services are all Unless his noble mother, and his wife; So nightly toils the subject of the land, Great king, I am no strumpet, by my life; Rend off thy silver hair, thy other hand And swear I got them in the Gallia wars. Chief master-gunner am I of this town; Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; If they will fight with us, bid them come down, Not of this country, though my chance is now What instance gives Lord Warwick for his vow? MCCCLXIX - "HOMALLILLWELLS" He was but as the cuckoo is in June, One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; My lord, I aim a mile beyond the moon; And do not spread the compost on the weeds Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Love is your master, for he masters you: I will both hear and grant you your requests. Look, what I will not, that I cannot do. Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word Why didst thou say, of late thou wert despised? Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, So proud that Bolingbroke was on his back! MCCCLXX - "HOWSKILLMEWITH" How were they lost? what treachery was used? One poor retiring minute in an age Where cheeks need blood; in thee it is abused. Stir up their servants to an act of rage, Keep then far league and truce with thy true bed; It wounds thine honour that I speak it now-- Lest bleeding you do paint the white rose red Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou Marry, they say my uncle grew so fast Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Would they not wish the feast might ever last, If thou art changed to aught, 'tis to an ass. Then in plain terms tell her my loving tale. Help, hold his brows! he'll swoon! Why look you pale? MCCCLXXI - "SPITESYETWEMUS" Sure, the boy heard me: Brutus hath a suit Play with your fancies, and in them behold I thank my beauty, I am fair that shoot, Than think that we before have heard them told. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. So far be mine, my most redoubted lord, You lie, in faith, for you are call'd plain Kate, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; The name of Agincourt. Yet sit and see, Whose loss hath pierced him deep and scarr'd his heart; England, bound in with the triumphant sea My wit untrain'd in any kind of art. Upon Good-Friday and ne'er broke his fast: Still live they and for ever may they last! MCCCLXXII - "TNOTBEFOESTHOS" The vent of hearing when loud Rumour speaks? Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, That virtue must go through. We must not stint By whom this great assembly is contrived, Each in his office ready at thy beck. For many years thought dead, are now revived, One that rejoices in the common wreck, Edward and Clarence. O, what cause have I, Since Richard and Northumberland, great friends, The galloping of horse: who was't came by? Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Of the true line and stock of Charles the Great, So far from cheer and from your former state. MCCCLXXIII - "EPETTYWRONGSTH" Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Plague break thy neck for frightening me! What's Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring The house: and, Falstaff, you carried your guts That to his borrow'd bed he make retire, You'll mar the light by taking it in snuff; Whose haughty spirit, winged with desire, Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Oh, who shall hinder me to wail and weep, No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. Here's a good world! Knew you of this fair work? MCCCLXXIV - "ATLIBERTYCOMMI" Are punish'd with. The King must take it ill To see great Hercules whipping a gig, Like an unpractised swimmer plunging still, If that the devil and mischance look big Be plain, good son, and homely in thy drift; Even so void is your false heart of truth. Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift Think, how thou stab'dst me in my prime of youth Your sovereign greatness and authority. Carries noise, and behind him he leaves tears: Oh, he is young and his minority My will enkindled by mine eyes and ears, Must first induce you to believe: whose strength I'll get me one of such another length. MCCCLXXV - "TSWHENIAMSOMET" Tell us where 'tis, that we may take it thence Strike all that look upon with marvel. Come, Which was so strongly urged past my defence. Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Nor posted off their suits with slow delays; In this self-place where now we mean to stand. Ah, when the means are gone that buy this praise, My lord protector will, I doubt it not, Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, O Perdita, what have we twain forgot! Mine hair be fixed on end, as one distract; Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, Thy adversary's wife doth pray for thee. MCCCLXXVI - "IMEABSENTFROMT" It does abhor me now I speak the word; Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten flint; Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard As apt as new-fall'n snow takes any dint. But that one half which is unsatisfied, She's apt to learn, and thankful for good turns. Enough: my soul shall then be satisfied. Northumberland, say thus the king returns: The nine men's morris is fill'd up with mud, For emulation hath a thousand sons Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, My liege, I'll knock once more to summon them. That's he that was Othello: here I am. MCCCLXXVII - "HYHEARTTHYBEAU" His spell in that is out: the king hath found You are my all the world, and I must strive His mouth, and promise, like Brabbler the hound: Even for this let us divided live, And, ten to one, old Joan had not gone out. Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; That turn'd your wit the seamy side without, The roses fearfully on thorns did stand, How use doth breed a habit in a man! Your brother Richard mark'd him for the grave: But bring they what they will and what they can, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! And die, unhallow'd thoughts, before you blot Uneven is the course, I like it not. MCCCLXXVIII - "TYANDTHYYEARSF" The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: Yet in the eddy boundeth in his pride And suck'd the honey which thy chaste bee kept. Neglect him not; make use now, and provide Dismask'd, their damask sweet commixture shown, Their wives have sense like them: they see and smell His fortunes I will weep; and, 'twixt each groan Your own good thoughts excuse me, and farewell: Your praises are too large: but that your youth, Except thou wilt except against my love. Ay, sharp and piercing, to maintain his truth; Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Serving of becks and jutting-out of bums! Fall pat as I told you. Yonder she comes. MCCCLXXIX - "ULLWELLBEFITSF" Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil Let him fear this, for it will come to pass Leads discontented steps in foreign soil, With this, we charged again: but, out, alas! England we love; and for that England's sake Look to your house, your daughter and your bags! Let us do so: for we are at the stake, But rather, moody-mad and desperate stags, Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, For it depends upon that love of thine. If he could burn us all into one coal, They have been violent to me and mine. Shall chide your trespass and return your mock For lovers ever run before the clock. MCCCLXXX - "ORSTILLTEMPTAT" O, let us have him, for his silver hairs Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish See, ruthless queen, a hapless father's tears: To put good meat into an unclean dish. In equal scale weighing delight and dole, Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Look, who comes here! a grave unto a soul; That with the hurly death itself awakes? Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Madam, it will not lie where it concerns Plucking the grass, to know where sits the wind, The more thou damm'st it up, the more it burns. And strip myself to death, as to a bed To my heart's hope! Gold; silver; and base lead. MCCCLXXXI - "IONFOLLOWSWHER" I am a scribbled form, drawn with a pen On newer proof, to try an older friend, Now civil wounds are stopp'd, peace lives again: Farewell, farewell! one kiss, and I'll descend. Or tie my treasure up in silken bags, Leap in with me into this angry flood, Led on by bloody youth, guarded with rags, O thou, the earthly author of my blood, What now? how chance thou art return'd so soon? She is the weeping welkin, I the earth: While shame full late sleeps out the afternoon. He with her plenty press'd, she faint with dearth Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. MCCCLXXXII - "ETHOUARTGENTLE" Eating the air and promise of supply, To him that bears the strong offence's cross. Happy to have thy love, happy to die! O insupportable and touching loss! Under your good correction, I have seen, Adopts thee heir, and his high sceptre yields Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen To chase these pagans in those holy fields Got! thou hast got more hair on thy chin than Endue you with the people's voice: remains Now could I, Casca, name to thee a man The worth of that is that which it contains, Lavinia, you are not displeased with this? Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. MCCCLXXXIII - "THOUARTANDTHER" Than prosecute the meanest or the best Here is her picture: let me see; I think, O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, Under love's heavy burden do I sink. And twice by awkward wind from England's bank Remembers me of all his gracious parts, That unassailable holds on his rank, And then they drown their eyes or break their hearts. Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw Do light upon her, she shall bring him that The noble Scot, Lord Douglas, when he saw Her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat, Expecting in return twenty for one? Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. MCCCLXXXIV - "EFORETOBEWONBE" Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, To throw away the dearest thing he owed, Of that I shall have also cause to speak, But then AEneas bare a living load, Empale him with your weapons round about; Which must be done by praising me as much Of many worthy fellows that were out; No glory lives behind the back of such. But if you hold it fit, after the play Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MCCCLXXXV - "AUTEOUSTHOUART" Ah, that this sight should make so deep a wound, Unmannerly intruder as thou art! To him one of the other twins was bound, Each one demand an answer to his part Out of his subject; and we here dispatch Usurps her cheek; she trembles at his tale, Son, list to this conjunction, make this match; Tell thee, with speechless tongues and semblance pale, His rougher accents for malicious sounds, O Cleopatra! thou art taken, queen: Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; And thirty dozen moons with borrowed sheen Resolve on this, thou shalt be fortunate, The more that Henry was unfortunate. MCCCLXXXVI - "THEREFORETOBEA" That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. How would he hang his slender gilded wings, Err'd in this point which now you censure him, Richer than that which four successive kings Except some petty towns of no import: From earth's dark womb some gentle gust doth get, Or dare to bring thy force so near the court. Rome shall record, and when I do forget Either to get the town again or die: The mere despair of surgery, he cures, O time! thou must untangle this, not I; Become your time of day; and yours, and yours, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: A right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit. MCCCLXXXVII - "SSAILEDANDWHEN" She says enough; yet she's a simple bawd She either gives a stomach and no food- As I will meet thee, if thou stir abroad-- In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood; Look upon him, love him; he worships you. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Did Jessica steal from the wealthy Jew And with the vantage of mine own excuse Nor never come in vizard to my friend, Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Will bring this labour to an happy end. Hath twice done salutation to the morn; Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. No, madam; we will bring you on your way. MCCCLXXXVIII - "AWOMANWOOSWHAT" Are not thine own so proper as to waste What, wouldst thou have me go and beg my food, O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. My heart and hands thou hast at once subdued. And, by device, let blockish Ajax draw Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. Which when her sad-beholding husband saw, Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. Or how haps it I seek not to advance Scratching could not make it worse, an 'twere such Welcome, brave Warwick! What brings thee to France? Have found him guilty of high treason. Much As far from help as Limbo is from bliss! The king is moved, and answers not to this. MCCCLXXXIX - "WOMANSSONWILLS" Were better than a churlish turf of France. Of such possessions, and so high esteem, May any terms acquit me from this chance? As we were sickly prey: their shadows seem Now puts the drowsy and neglected act Serving of becks and jutting-out of bums! She is importunate, indeed distract. O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! No grave upon the earth shall clip in it When this same lusty gentleman was got. It is enough you know; and it is fit, Looking before and after, gave us not Let them not cease, but with a din confused Should of another therefore be abused! MCCCXC - "OURLYLEAVEHERT" Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Up Fish Street! down Saint Magnus' Corner! Kill Return and tell him so: we know the worst. Like humble-visaged suitors, his high will. You are transported by calamity Look, how thy wounds do bleed at many vents! England and France might, through their amity, And--God consigning to my good intents- Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Had nature lent thee but thy mother's look, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Render me worthy of this noble wife! That makes calamity of so long life. MCCCXCI - "ILLSHEHAVEPREV" I prattle out of fashion, and I dote Let us come in, that we may bind him fast Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat Still live they and for ever may they last! He'ld make an end of thy posterity. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Have done! for shame, if not for charity. Again in pity of my hard distress Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Exist, and be a member of his love Pursue him and entreat him to a peace: Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Each changing place with that which goes before, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? MCCCXCII - "AILEDAYMEBUTYE" A son of mine, which long I have not seen. In thine own person answer thy abuse. Lord Warwick, on thy shoulder will I lean; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Do the low-rated English play at dice; And better conquest never canst thou make Yea, twice the sum: if that will not suffice, May enter 'twixt the gap of both and take Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Beloved of me- and that my deeds shall prove. Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, Yourself? Why, do you not perceive the jest? Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MCCCXCIII - "TTHOUMIGHTESTM" Thou learn a prayer without book. Thou canst strike, The which if he can prove, a' pops me out Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like Or as a little snow, tumbled about, Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; More than his singularity, he goes If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, God's benison go with you; and with those Half of the number that King Priam had, Twelve several times, and I have nightly since Extremity of griefs would make men mad; So come to you and yours, as to this Prince! Till Henry be more weak and I more strong,-- Mine shall not do his Julia so much wrong. MCCCXCIV - "YSEATFORBEARAN" Your worship speaks like a most thankful and Some honest Christian trust me with a gage Ere I could make thee open thy white hand And that which should accompany old age, Therefore no marvel though thy horse be gone. Fordo it own life. 'Twas of some estate. Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: By uproar sever'd, like a flight of fowl Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. And my imaginations are as foul Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. MCCCXCV - "DCHIDETRYBEAUT" Discredit my authority with yours; Call here my varlet; I'll unarm again: He hath not money for these Irish wars, I will not be afraid of death and bane, Digest this letter of the cardinal's? Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. The heads of all thy brother cardinals, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Yet none does know, but you, how she came dead, But from Lord Angelo by special charge. England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, And, ere I part with thee, confer at large Us friends; I will pursue the amity. To bear the tidings of calamity. MCCCXCVI - "YANDTHYSTRAYIN" Your Highness knows, comes to no further use And to be baited with the rabble's curse. Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds He's walking in the garden--thus; and spurns Your grace attended to their sugar'd words, She's apt to learn, and thankful for good turns. That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Ah! but those tears are pearl which thy love sheds, You have witchcraft in your lips, Kate: there is I have inform'd his highness so at large No, Caesar, we will answer on their charge. MCCCXCVII - "GYOUTHWHOLEADT" Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. You need not tell us what Lord Hamlet said. On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! Under whose simple semblance he hath fed To the ambassadors of England gives Hang in the air a thousand leagues from hence, Who wanting guilders to redeem their lives His tears proclaim'd his, parting with her: thence, O momentary grace of mortal men, Let them lay by their helmets and their spears, Establish him in his true sense again, A thousand oaths, an ocean of his tears Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, Then get your husband's lands, to do them good. MCCCXCVIII - "HEEINTHEIRRIOT" Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. I smell sweet savours, and I feel soft things. Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. That due of many now is thine alone: His hand, as proud of such a dignity, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Into a thousand parts divide on man, Raise up the Montagues: some others search: Reprove my allegation, if you can; In spite of pope or dignities of church, Of thy dear husband, than that horrid act To see thy noble uncle thus distract? MCCCXCIX - "EVENTHEREWHERE" Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind; The sacred honour of himself, his queen's, How mean soe'er, that have their honest wills, Ere further leisure yield them further means Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. What say'st thou, Henry, wilt thou yield the crown? Hath he excepted most against my love. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MCD - "THOUARTFORCEDT" That virtue must go through. We must not stint Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift O, I could hew up rocks and fight with flint, Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy gift, Are brought to the correction of your law. Rather than render back, out with your knives, Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, Fight for your king, your country and your lives; Of an old tear that is not wash'd off yet: Read over Julia's heart, thy first best love, Commends me to the thing I cannot get. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Did to his predecessors part withal. That light we see is burning in my hall. MCDI - "OBREAKATWOFOLD" O good old man, how well in thee appears Bias and thwart, not answering the aim, Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Envy your great deservings and good name, And bid my friend, for joy of this good news, Keep in your bosom: yet remain assured And they have served me to effectless use: To think their dolour others have endured. When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim One touch of nature makes the whole world kin, For private quarrel 'twixt your Duke and him, O, God defend my soul from such deep sin! Lousy, pragging knave, Pistol, which you and Darraign your battle, for they are at hand. MCDII - "TRUTHHERSBYTHY" That mought not be distinguished; but at last Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Upon the winds command, bind them in brass, Their herald is a pretty knavish page, Have hent the gates, and very near upon His foes are so enrooted with his friends Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Return, return, and make thy love amends. She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Bid him shed tears, as being overjoyed You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, Thou bear'st my life off hence: let us avoid. Have shaken Edward from the regal seat, Yet from my dugs he drew not this deceit. MCDIII - "BEAUTYTEMPTING" Both find each other, and I lose both twain, Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste As unrelenting flint to drops of rain. Under these windows, white and azure laced That this his love was an eternal plant, Yet confident I'll keep what I have swore The knowledge of your mistress home, I grant Each changing place with that which goes before, Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks Peace, doting wizard, peace! I am not mad. That all the standers-by had wet their cheeks I deem you an ill husband, and am glad Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. MCDIV - "HERTOTHEETHINE" How now, my friend! Why dost thou look so pale? Engaging and redeeming of himself Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. To make this shameless callet know herself. Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars To save her life, I'll say she is not so. How pomp is follow'd! mine will now be yours; Early and late, debating to and fro Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. Her brother is in secret come from France; In any case, be not too rough in terms; Needs must I under my transgression bow, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MCDV - "BYTHYBEAUTYBEI" Between her heart and lips: she render'd life, Your master wed me to: nothing but death That such immanity and bloody strife How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, Being once perfected how to grant suits, Either thou art most ignorant by age, As if he pluck'd up kisses by the roots Until her husband and my lord's return: That carries no impression like the dam. Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; But nothing alter'd: what I was, I am; Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! I would the fool were married to her grave! MCDVI - "NGFALSETOMETHA" Now, my good sweet honey lord, ride with us Give me that boy, and I will go with thee. For what they have not, that which they possess And what does else want credit, come to me, Let him have time to mark how slow time goes She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails, Except it be to pray against thy foes. The nimble-footed madcap Prince of Wales, O tremble, for you hear the lion roar. Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks Each changing place with that which goes before, Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. He ten times pines that pines beholding food; And doves will peck in safeguard of their brood. MCDVII - "TTHOUHASTHERIT" The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish There will the lovely Roman ladies troop: Hath given me some worthy cause to wish O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Until my lord's return: for mine own part, How I have thought of this and of these times, And I, as I love Hastings with my heart! Shalt have thy trespass cited up in rhymes, There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. How will my mother for a father's death Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Is she the goddess that hath sever'd us, The proffer'd means of succor and redress. MCDVIII - "ISNOTALLMYGRIE" Is very snow-broth; one who never feels Sole monarch of the universal earth. Nay, and you will not, sir, I'll take my heels. O ceremony, show me but thy worth! The noble Duke of Bedford late deceased, According to your ladyship's impose, Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: Myself the while to draw the Moor apart, You that will follow me to this attempt, Give me mine own again; 'twere no good part Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing Even in the presence of the crowned king. MCDIX - "FANDYETITMAYBE" For, hearing this, I must perforce compound And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks: Nor now I had not, but that I am bound Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. You must not take for fire. From this time Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows To add a more rejoicing to the prime, I prithee, do not strive against my vows: Then belike my children shall have no names: My mistress is my mistress; this myself, A holy parcel of the fairest dames. You are a fool. You, niece, provide yourself. By the apostle Paul, shadows to-night Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MCDX - "SAIDILOVEDHERD" Say that I linger'd with you at your shop A woeful hostess brooks not merry guests: I must be brief, lest resolution drop Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts In confutation of which rude reproach Look'st thou pale, France? do not let go thy hand. O, sir, when he shall hear of your approach, Virtue he had, deserving to command: Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' He hath some message to deliver us. Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Drink off this potion! Is thy union here? MCDXI - "EARLYTHATSHEHA" Even or odd, of all days in the year, And of his friends there, it is lots to blanks, Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Let me have such a bowl may hold my thanks, Yea, man and birds are fain of climbing high. The sweet degrees that this brief world affords His drumming heart cheers up his burning eye, Advance your standards, and upon them, lords; The intertissued robe of gold and pearl, Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; Her father is no better than an earl, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. His tears run down his beard, like winter's drops A lute-string and now governed by stops. MCDXII - "THTHEEISOFMYWA" Tooth'd briers, sharp furzes, pricking goss and thorns, Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; This husband, which, you say, must charge his horns He is no less than what we say he is. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. England did never owe so sweet a hope, I will not have excuse, with saying this Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Of stirs abroad, I shall beseech you, sir, From the dread summit of this chalky bourn. Master, be wise: an if you give it her, Yet I not doing this, the fool had borne Which, God he knows, I saw not: for the which And bears his thoughts above his falcon's pitch. MCDXIII - "ILINGCHIEFALOS" If for the last, say ay, and to it, lords. Lucius, I'll fit thee; and withal, my boy, I see these witches are afraid of swords. Never, O never shall I see more joy! God put it in thy mind to take it hence, Come, fellow, follow us for thy reward. His tears proclaim'd his, parting with her: thence, I was not born to die on Brutus' sword. Except thou wilt except against my love. Fly, brother.- Torches, torches!- So farewell. As those that I am come to tell you of! Lean penury within that pen doth dwell O, be advised! thou know'st not what it is Smiles at her news, while Warwick frowns at his. MCDXIV - "SINLOVETHATTOU" Springs not from Edward's well-meant honest love, In this same interlude it doth befall No more than I am well acquitted of. Let his deservings and my love withal Or thou wert born a fool. Camillo's flight, Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north How we may steal from hence, and for the gap And take deep traitors for thy dearest friends! Then, Pistol, lay thy head in Furies' lap. To want the bridegroom when the priest attends Over one arm the lusty courser's rein, Use no entreaty, for it is in vain. MCDXV - "CHESMEMORENEAR" Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays, Her eyes, though sod in tears, look'd red and raw, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Since that my case is past the help of law. More thirst for drink than she for this good turn. Even or odd, of all days in the year, Myself, as far as I could well discern Or else for ever be confixed here, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Enough to purchase what you have made known. Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Each man apart, all single and alone, And he will look as hollow as a ghost, Receiving them from such a worthless post. MCDXVI - "LYLOVINGOFFEND" Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum You are the hare of whom the proverb goes, Lend me your knees, and all my life to come Of bristly pikes, that ever threat his foes; Virtue he had, deserving to command: I am so angry at these abject terms; No if thou dost say 'no' to my demand. Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. Or rudely visit them in parts remote, Fare you well; go. Exeunt BARDOLPH and PAGE For none offend where all alike do dote. Either thou art most ignorant by age, Not with fond shekels of the tested gold, Dear, trouble not yourself: the morn is cold. MCDXVII - "ERSTHUSIWILLEX" Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Sir, I have seen you in the court of France. That is not quickly buzzed into his ears? How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? Under the lordly monarch of the north, So tender of rebukes that words are strokes Is altogether just: therefore bring forth, Which we do tender as we dearly grieve I'll be a candle-holder, and look on. Let them set on at once; for I perceive Like perspectives, which rightly gazed upon Edward the Third, he bids you then resign eXpress impatience, lest you stir up mine. MCDXVIII - "CUSEYETHOUDOST" Commend me to my kinsmen and my son: Under the wrath of noble Hotspur's sword, Shot from the deadly level of a gun, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Your tender kinsman and to choke his days Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: That she will light to listen to the lays, He'll stop the course by which it might be known; Or groan for love? or spend a minute's time Upon the instant that she was accused, Drove back again unto my native clime? O, that a lady, of one man refused. Shame and eternal shame, nothing but shame! That hath in it no profit but the name. MCDXIX - "LOVEHERBECAUSE" Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou On yon proud man, should take it off again Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Hast thou of me as she is for a wife. England is safe, if true within itself? Revives two greater in the heirs of life; But smacks of something greater than herself, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Clifford, ask mercy and obtain no grace. And ere that we will suffer such a prince, Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Sweet Cytherea, sitting by a brook Else you may be marvellously mistook. MCDXX - "THOUKNOWSTILOV" Trust to't, bethink you; I'll not be forsworn. Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! Undo that prayer, by crying out as loud, Knows at what time to promise, when to pay. Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Out of thy sleep. What is it thou didst say? Worse than tears drown: beseech you all, my lords, Save a proud rider on so proud a back. Then, like a melancholy malcontent, If virtue no delighted beauty lack, Looking the way her harmless young one went, Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? MCDXXI - "EHERANDFORMYSA" Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? He lends out money gratis and brings down Each hath his place and function to attend: Razing the characters of your renown, And for mine too: when law can do no right, Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Do you intend to stay with me to-night? For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; O no, good Kate; neither art thou the worse Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. Your franchises, whereon you stood, confined Saying, the sanguine colour of the leaves And pretty traps to catch the petty thieves. MCDXXII - "KEEVENSODOTHSH" Know of the Duke if his last purpose hold, Either withdraw unto some private place, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Set on there! Never was a war did cease, O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live O, yes, my lord! He wore his beaver up. That 'gainst the stream of virtue they may strive, His viands sparkling in a golden cup, So soon to bid good morrow to thy bed: How came you in these parts? where were you bred? MCDXXIII - "EABUSEMESUFFER" Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And labour shall refresh itself with hope, Both which, as servitors to the unjust, Upon your oath of service to the pope, Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's tooth: Environed with all these hideous fears? Most true it is that I have look'd on truth Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Soft; by and by. Let me the curtains draw. Uproar the universal peace, confound For me, I force not argument a straw, For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. MCDXXIV - "INGMYFRIENDFOR" I am compared to twenty thousand fairs. Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: Give even way unto my rough affairs; My parts, my title and my perfect soul Yet one word more: grief boundeth where it falls, For he hath laid strange courtesies and great Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: If thou receive me for thy warlike mate. Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: For lovers ever run before the clock. O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. MCDXXV - "MYSAKETOAPPROV" Moved with compassion of my country's wreck, Your grace must needs deserve all strangers' loves, She sinketh down, still hanging by his neck, And yet not so; since I am sure my love's Know him in us, that here hold up his right. Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. There sleeps Titania sometime of the night, Of my lord's tricks and yours when you were boys: Against my life: the minute of their plot Peacock's feather. You'll never trust his word Patricians, draw your swords: and sheathe them not Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Of my word, I have written to effect; Very hardly upon such a subject. MCDXXVI - "EHERIFILOSETHE" Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, He will allow no speech, which I do guess Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Reviving blood, and that great men shall press In earth as quiet as thy father's skull: From him that fled some strange indignity, Is not their climate foggy, raw and dull, Love can transpose to form and dignity: O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! Speak unto Talbot; nay, look up to him. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; They come like sacrifices in their trim, Have lopp'd and hew'd and made thy body bare Else would I very shortly see thee there. MCDXXVII - "EMYLOSSISMYLOV" Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Master, your love must live a maid at home; You will bestow her on Orlando here? Look round about the wicked streets of Rome; O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, Sweet Cytherea, sitting by a brook Since thou dost deign to woo her little worth In that each of you have forsworn his book, Sell bullocks. But did you think the prince would Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse Yea, curb and woo for leave to do him good. Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? MCDXXVIII - "ESGAINANDLOSIN" Each way and move. I take my leave of you: Some consequence yet hanging in the stars Go bind this man, for he is frantic too. And Humphrey with the peers be fall'n at jars: I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Never was monarch better fear'd and loved And mercy then will breathe within your lips, Now welcome more, and ten times more beloved, Doth hurry from the fatal cannon's womb. Like little frosts that sometime threat the spring, Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Spur post, and get before him to the king, I will not have it so: lie down, good sirs; No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. MCDXXIX - "GHERMYFRIENDHA" Gaunt am I for the grave, gaunt as a grave, Had I been judge, thou shouldst have had ten more, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Religious in mine error, I adore Making not reservation of yourselves, You do yourself mighty wrong, Master Ford. For when no friends are by, men praise themselves. Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; I know I am too mean to be your queen, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Never can blab, nor know not what we mean. Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, How long have you been of this profession? And stalk in blood to our possession? MCDXXX - "THFOUNDTHATLOS" To-morrow I intend to hunt again. Hear me yourself; for that which I must speak Farewell: if heart's presages be not vain, On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; Dark as your fortune is, and but disguise Thou mayst co-join with something; and thou dost, Holds from all soldiers chief majority And so once more return and tell his grace. To him and his usurp'd authority. Look here upon thy brother Geffrey's face; Or how haps it I seek not to advance Signior, hang! base muleters of France! MCDXXXI - "SBOTHFINDEACHO" See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate, Beggar the estimation which you prized O, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: There let them bide until we have devised He lives that loves thee better than he could. For that they will not intercept my tale: I ken the wight: he is of substance good. No vast obscurity or misty vale, Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, All length is torture: since the torch is out, Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays, Himself love's traitor: this is pity now, Of your profession? Speak, what trade art thou? MCDXXXII - "THERANDILOSEBO" To use one language in each several clime Hearing applause and universal shout, Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; As false as dicers' oaths. O, such a deed Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks, Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. I speak to subjects, and a subject speaks, Live here in heaven and may look on her; Of mediation, after I am dead, Suffer thy brother Marcus to inter England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, By heaven, all dry-beaten with pure scoff! Of such misery doth she cut me off. MCDXXXIII - "THTWAINANDBOTH" To none of these, except it be the last; Hie you, make haste, for it grows very late. The mellow plum doth fall, the green sticks fast, Whenever Buckingham doth turn his hate Ah, what a shame were this! Look on the boy; I'll have: but how, when Antony is gone Needs must I like it well: I weep for joy And so there is: but yet the king hath drawn Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Day, yield me not thy light; nor, night, thy rest! But, cousin, what if we assay'd to steal Or on Diana's altar to protest To be oppos'd against the warring winds? He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. MCDXXXIV - "FORMYSAKELAYON" Free vent of words love's fire doth assuage; Of great Northumberland, whose bosom burns Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Madam, it will not lie where it concerns You make strong party, or defend yourself See, see; here comes the man we went to seek. And hedged me by his wit, to yield myself Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. As you do love, fill to your mistress' lips,-- Yet, know thou, since we have begun to strike, Out of his subject; and we here dispatch No doubt but he hath got a quiet catch. MCDXXXV - "METHISCROSSBUT" My lord, wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: That we the horrider may seem to those He has no children. All my pretty ones? I know him now. Good God, betimes remove Send danger from the east unto the west, Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, Revenue, execution of the rest, O monstrous fault, to harbour such a thought! Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: So from himself impiety hath wrought, But look'd not on the poison of their hearts : Unless my hand and strength could equal them. Then think you right: I am not what I am. MCDXXXVI - "HERESTHEJOYMYF" Hath pass'd in safety through the narrow seas, Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. She is a theme of honour and renown, To your proceedings? do not seek to stuff Henry of Lancaster, resign thy crown. Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Jove knows what man thou mightst have made; but I, O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! You leer upon me, do you? there's an eye My heart and hands thou hast at once subdued. Your sweet dependency; and you shall find Fortune in favour makes him lag behind. MCDXXXVII - "RIENDANDIAREON" Remove you hence. I knew you at the first If in which time expired, he not return, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn Detest them, curse them: yet 'tis greater skill And fertile every wish, a million. Now kiss, embrace, contend, do what you will. Desire them an to my pavilion. I know not where to turn: O, welcome home: Away the performance: therefore, much drink Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Out of his subject; and we here dispatch No doubt but he hath got a quiet catch. MCDXXXVIII - "ESWEETFLATTERY" Excepting one, I would he were the best Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Why not on Proteus, as of all the rest? England did never owe so sweet a hope, Even or odd, of all days in the year, Till I return, of posting is no need. For I must tell you friendly in your ear: Look here, and at thy sovereign leisure read And when you find him evenly derived The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike, The tidings come that they are all arrived. Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Retain but privilege of a private man? Yet this I will not do, do how I can. MCDXXXIX - "THENSHELOVESBU" To take the indispos'd and sickly fit He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Nature in you stands on the very verge Spoke like an officer- ha' to thee, lad. He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Exception bid him speak, and at this time So, so; now sit: and look you eat no more But I have that within which passeth show- Upon my blessing, I command thee go. MCDXL - "TMEALONEWHENMO" Takes from his high respect: thither Macduff Make it a darling like your precious eye; Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: A woman, and thy aunt, great king; 'tis I. Left I the court, to see this quarrel tried. O, think my son to be as dear to me! Nor this I have not, brother, so denied, England, bound in with the triumphant sea Why, that is spoken like a toward prince. He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Nor ask advice of any other thought Much like a press of people at a door, Out of my sight, and never see me more! MCDXLI - "STIWINKTHENDOM" Speak, or thy silence on the instant is Turn all to the best! These proclamations, If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, War-like, court-like, and learned preparations. Is very snow-broth; one who never feels Now, if you have a station in the file, Keeps wassail, and the swagg'ring upspring reels, That I have room with Rome to curse awhile! He shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, Establish him in his true sense again, Nor none so bad, but it may well be told. Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign: Or whether since he is advis'd by aught Made wit with musing weak, heart sick with thought. MCDXLII - "INEEYESBESTSEE" In no less working than are swords and bows Nature dispenses with the deed so far Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; You know my mind, I'll fight no more 'gainst Troy. Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set Set foot under thy table. Tut, a toy! But for my hand, as unattempted yet, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Stone him with harden'd hearts harder than stones; The third possessor; ay, he was the third-- So longest way shall have the longest moans. Each man apart, all single and alone, Enough to purchase what you have made known. MCDXLIII - "FORALLTHEDAYTH" For my profession's sacred from above: Of all the world I loved and to him put Relieved him with such sanctity of love, As much as one sound cudgel of four foot-- Lest the wise world should look into your moan Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Those that would die or ere resist are grown How many years a mortal man may live. Each cheek a river running from a fount Damn'd as thou art, thou hast enchanted her; As one that surfeits thinking on a want. You are my mother, madam; would you were,-- To thrust his icy fingers in my maw, He is not with himself; let us withdraw. MCDXLIV - "EYVIEWTHINGSUN" Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. You may to me: and 'tis most meet you should. Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, If tears could help, mine own would do me good. Even for this let us divided live, Who will believe my verse in time to come, Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from If they were known, as the suspect is great, None but that ugly treason of mistrust, Go hence; good night; and here stands all your state: Seek for thy noble father in the dust. Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? Not better than he, by her own report. MCDXLV - "RESPECTEDBUTWH" Religious in mine error, I adore Ere you can take due orders for a priest: So, so; now sit: and look you eat no more Peer'd forth the golden window of the east, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Cupid all arm'd: a certain aim he took Thou hast not left the value of a cord; Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Daughter to Charlemain, who was the son By a divine instinct men's minds mistrust Up in the air, crown'd with the golden sun, To knaves and all approachers: 'tis most just What with a torch! muffle me, night, awhile. How does my old acquaintance of this isle? MCDXLVI - "ENISLEEPINDREA" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less No, holy father; throw away that thought; If case some one of you would fly from us, Should prove the mother of fools.

Pursue him to his house, and pluck him thence: I love thee, and it is my love that speaks-- No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. Doth quench the maiden burning of his cheeks; Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet A choking gall and a preserving sweet. MCDXLVII - "MSTHEYLOOKONTH" Men are but gilded loam or painted clay. Shall send between the red rose and the white To burn the guiltless casket where it lay! Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night, Engenders the black toad and adder blue, You are my all the world, and I must strive Let it appear so; make your vaunting true, Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, O, but I love his lady too too much, King did I call thee? no, thou art not king, Or senseless speaking or a speaking such Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; That bows unto the grave with mickle age. Hath made her break out into terms of rage! MCDXLVIII - "EEANDDARKLYBRI" England ne'er had a king until his time. Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: And ever let his unrecalling crime Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, Duke of Anjou and Maine, yet is he poor, Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? And majesty might never yet endure Romans, of five and twenty valiant sons, Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. Like very sanctity, she did approach You are deceived; my child is none of his: But if black scandal or foul-faced reproach Return and tell him so: we know the worst. If thou stand excommunicate and cursed? MCDXLIX - "GHTAREBRIGHTIN" Go to, we pardon thee: therefore, in brief, Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? That sees into the bottom of my grief? And if she did play false, the fault was hers; Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Believe me, king of shadows, I mistook. Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! I took by the throat the circumcised dog, Good day, my lord. What, at your book so hard? Having first seized his books, or with a log This is his tent; and see where stand his guard. I should fight withal, if he be alive. No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. MCDL - "DARKDIRECTEDTH" Do, good old grandsire, and withal make known A tempest, which his mortal vessel tears, Revenge upon myself with present moan? Knows not my feeble key of untuned cares? Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time I am not mad: this hair I tear is mine; Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Come, mistress, now perforce we will enjoy The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb. Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Done to me, undeserving as I am, The king and his companions: warily Holding a trencher, jesting merrily? MCDLI - "ENTHOUWHOSESHA" Establish him in his true sense again, Never was monarch better fear'd and loved To make me blest or cursed'st among men. How happily he lives, how well beloved O, I could wish this tavern were my drum! Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: With such a kind of love as might become His eye, which late this mutiny restrains, O, she is rich in beauty, only poor, Sith I have cause, and will, and strength, and means Exposing what is mortal and unsure Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Hast the harvest out of thine own report. As this their jangling I esteem a sport. MCDLII - "DOWSHADOWSDOTH" Did young Lorenzo swear he loved her well, Of those that served Mark Antony but late, Whose father for his hoarding went to hell? Set your entreatments at a higher rate His taken labours bid him me forgive; And when I rear my hand, do you the like, Do appear, to make the world twice rich. Live, Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Would you not deem it breathed? and that those veins Sits on his horseback at mine hostess' door, Destroy'd his country, and his name remains Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; The king doth keep his revels here to-night: Her best is better'd with a more delight. MCDLIII - "MAKEBRIGHTHOWW" Master's whistle. Blow, till thou burst thy wind, And cherish factions: 'tis inferr'd to us, Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Being once perfected how to grant suits, Receive my tears and seem to weep with me; I'll make you feed on berries and on roots, Go thou with me, and let me counsel thee. He rais'd the house with loud and coward cries. Think therefore on revenge and cease to weep. Hours, minutes? noon, midnight? and all eyes O, these are barren tasks, too hard to keep, Which had you rather, that the most just law What says that fool of Hagar's offspring, ha? MCDLIV - "OULDTHYSHADOWS" O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, Look, if my gentle love be not raised up! Did never traitor in the land commit.

Say I am dancing; if in mirth, report He has discover'd my design, and I And they that watch see time how slow it creeps. Did utter forth a voice. Yes, thou must die: O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps; What less than dooms-day is the prince's doom? Shall all thy mother's hopes lie in one tomb? MCDLV - "FORMFORMHAPPYS" From thy behavior; beauty doth he give Opening on Neptune with fair blessed beams, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Make thee the father of their idle dreams Fair maid, is't thou wilt do these wondrous feats? Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. More worthy this place than myself; to whom, He has no children. All my pretty ones? A thing divine, for nothing natural Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons, Provokes this deluge most unnatural. Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, Some beauty peep'd through lattice of sear'd age. MCDLVI - "HOWTOTHECLEARD" Ha! let me see her: out, alas! she's cold: Of Timon man and all humanity! With thy black mantle; till strange love, grown bold, To stay him from the fall of vanity: Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his To mourn thy crosses, with thy daughter's, call How sharp the point of this remembrance is!-- Else shall you not have any hand at all Call. Bully knight! bully Sir John! speak from Lionel Duke of Clarence: next to whom Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? And triumph, Henry, in thy day of doom. Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. MCDLVII - "AYWITHTHYMUCHC" A gift that heaven gives for him, which buys You'll find it wholesome. Lo, where comes that rock Wherein the worship of the whole world lies. I have retired me to a wasteful cock, To revel in the entrails of my lambs. How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? That had not half a week to go, like rams Here comes the lady: O, so light a foot Yet, to supply the ripe wants of my friend, My lords, when you shall know--as in this rage, Upon thy princely warrant, I descend Calm thee, and bear the faults of Titus' age, Had not an ear to hear my true time broke. Cowardly fled, not having struck one stroke. MCDLVIII - "LEARERLIGHTWHE" Look, when I vow, I weep; and vows so born, Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Allons! allons! Sow'd cockle reap'd no corn; Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Retain that dear perfection which he owes Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal: I do embrace your offer; and dispose Go back again, thou slave, and fetch him home. Hath turn'd his balls to gun-stones; and his soul To ruffle in the commonwealth of Rome. When most impeach'd stands least in thy control. Here is the man, this Moor, whom now, it seems, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. MCDLIX - "NTOUNSEEINGEYE" Now, trust me, 'tis an office of great worth Thou say'st his sports were hinderd by thy brawls: Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, Upon his visage, and that all the walls Not he which says the dead is not alive. So, at his sight, away his fellows fly; Even for this let us divided live, Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. Is near the hate of those love not the king. Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Give us some music; and, good cousin, sing.

MCDLX - "STHYSHADESHINE" Should have kept short, restrain'd, and out of haunt Than you expect: unseal this letter soon; His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck How smooth and even they do bear themselves! And hold-fast is the only dog, my duck: Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves! Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Shall in procession sing her endless praise. Has deserved prison, then abound in tears Intends his journey; and within three days Never came reformation in a flood, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MCDLXI - "SSOHOWWOULDISA" Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Out of my lean and low ability Hath brought me up to be your daughter's dower, Observe how Antony becomes his flaw, Who told me, in the narrow seas that part Will not debate the question of this straw. O Clifford, how thy words revive my heart! Unless she do it under this excuse, Lies crafty-sick. The posts come tiring on, Dainties to taste, fresh beauty for the use, I thank you; you shall hear from me anon: Shall lose a hair through Bassanio's fault. And Talbot perisheth by your default. MCDLXII - "YMINEEYESBEBLE" You may deny that you were not the cause Madam, an if my brother had my shape, Into the service of the time and was No, 'tis impossible he should escape, Else shall you not have any hand at all Envy the great nor do the low despise. Yet my good will is great, though the gift small. Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: She is a woman, therefore may be won; But, with an angry wafture of your hand, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon But as I travell'd hither through the land, Let's want no discipline, make no delay, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MCDLXIII - "SSEDMADEBYLOOK" Standing on slippers, which his nimble haste Shall I Sir Pandarus of Troy become, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Door would speak with you: he says he comes from More than a wild exposture to each chance Are we not beaten? Is not Angiers lost? Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. But how long shall that title 'ever' last? You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: O Brakenbury, I have done those things, Or bring him off: fate, hear me what I say! Knows at what time to promise, when to pay. MCDLXIV - "INGONTHEEINTHE" I will not praise that purpose not to sell. Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall. Go thrust him out at gates, and let him smell O, let me stay, befall what may befall! Now one the better, then another best; Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain Have banish'd me from Scotland. O my breast, Establish him in his true sense again, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, I'll keep you company. Will you along? Nay, let it rest where it began at first. That we may wake the King? He hath slept long. He came too late, the ship was under sail: Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. MCDLXV - "LIVINGDAYWHENI" Let us come in, that we may bind him fast I ought to know of: and, upon my knees, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Is now again thwarting the wayward seas, Nothing, my lord: or if--I know not what. Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. Did tell me of you, bade me trust you; but As my great patron thought on in my prayers- You, madam, for you are more nobly born, With half their forces the full Pride of France Hath twice done salutation to the morn; Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Not to the beast that would usurp their den. If I thrive well, I'll visit thee again. MCDLXVI - "NDEADNIGHTTHYF" No, I will weep no more. In such a night Did ere solicit, or my hand subscribe England shall give him office, honour, might; An if thy stumps will let thee play the scribe. Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge I'll stand to-day for thee and me and Troy. Gave it a judge's clerk! no, God's my judge, His leg is but so-so; and yet 'tis well. That does infect the land: with which they moved To think upon my pomp shall be my hell. How I have ever loved the life removed You may as well go stand upon the beach First, heaven be the record to my speech! MCDLXVII - "AIRIMPERFECTSH" All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick. In that it scorns to bear another hue; Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick It was about to speak, when the cock crew. My dagger in my mouth. Say what thou art, Proclaim a pardon to the soldiers fled Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, For as you were when first your eye I eyed, Envied against the people, seeking means Continued so, until we thought he died. To be depender on a thing that leans, Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Here comes the holy legate of the pope. MCDLXVIII - "ADETHROUGHHEAV" As likely to be blest in peace and war; Dissolves to water and doth lose his form. Each changing place with that which goes before, Thou think'st 'tis much that this contentious storm He sends so poor a pinion off his wing, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, O, answer not, but to my closet bring Under whose government come they along? Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; He shall not hear thee; or from Caesar's camp Hover about me with your airy wings Ere twice in murk and occidental damp Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. MCDLXIX - "YSLEEPONSIGHTL" You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre, She moves me not, or not removes, at least, Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Peace, impudent and shameless Warwick, peace, O, tell me how it is; for ne'er till now Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Such fear so grew in me, I hither fled, In Warwickshire I have true-hearted friends, Good morrow, gallants! want ye corn for bread? Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's The more she gives them speech. Where do you live? Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. MCDLXX - "ESSEYESDOTHSTA" Environed with all these hideous fears? Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, She says she drinks no other drink but tears, England did never owe so sweet a hope, You do impeach your modesty too much, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Spenser to me, whose deep conceit is such Dear Princess, were not his requests so far Out of their best--is not almost a fault That through the window-bars bore at men's eyes, How now! what means death in this rude assault? So, Bassianus, you have play'd your prize: This sudden sending him away must seem A senseless help when help past sense we deem. MCDLXXI - "YALLDAYSARENIG" You would for paradise break faith, and troth; As pledges of my fealty and love; Lend me thy cloak, Sir Thomas. Brothers both, Love make your fortunes twenty times above Do not itself unkennel in one speech, And pass my daughter a sufficient dower, You may as well go stand upon the beach So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? And, if you may confess it, say withal, Razing the characters of your renown, Else shall you not have any hand at all Now, by my George, my garter, and my crown,-- I would be so triumphant as I am? Give so much light that I may read by them. MCDLXXII - "HTSTOSEETILLIS" His crown shall be the ransom of my friend; That I had been forsworn. Beshrew your eyes, Speak for yourselves; my wit is at an end. They are infected; in their hearts it lies; O Lord! my boy, my Arthur, my fair son! Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; This is the last: so we will home to Rome, In readiness for Hymenaeus stand, Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? Ladies, withdraw: the gallants are at hand. Incite them to quick motion; for I must Seek for thy noble father in the dust. MCDLXXIII - "EETHEEANDNIGHT" Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Even so void is your false heart of truth. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign And, being troubled with a raging tooth, Nor I no more of his, than you of mine. Do not yourself such wrong, who are in this Nay, after that, consume away in rust I do beseech you, take it not amiss; Gazing upon the Greeks with little lust: Hark, hark! one knocks: Portia, go in awhile; To enforce the pained impotent to smile. MCDLXXIV - "SBRIGHTDAYSWHE" Sleeping or waking, 'tis no matter how, But those as sleep and think not on their sins, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Inconstancy falls off ere it begins. Gentle Lucetta, fit me with such weeds How use doth breed a habit in a man! The orphan pines while the oppressor feeds; Do no more offices of life to't than And let the kettle to the trumpet speak, You may as well do anything most hard, Smother'd in errors, feeble, shallow, weak, Which drives the creeping thief to some regard: Have all limed bushes to betray thy wings, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. MCDLXXV - "NDREAMSDOSHOWT" Never hung poison on a fouler toad. Despise me, when I break this oath of mine. Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign And then end life when I end loyalty! My shame will not be shifted with my sheet: Setting aside his high blood's royalty, Decius, well urged: I think it is not meet, O'ercome you with her show, and in time, So thrive I in my dangerous attempt Hell only danceth at so harsh a chime. Of egal justice, used in such contempt? Which holds not colour with the time, nor does That I no more can see what once I was! MCDLXXVI - "HEEMEIFTHEDULL" He cares not for your weeping. Speak thou, boy: Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Must cast thee, scarcely coffin'd, in the ooze; Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, I was preserved to serve this noble count. For such proceeding I am charged withal, That only to stand high in your account, He has no children. All my pretty ones? Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Let what is dear in Sicily be cheap: Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep. MCDLXXVII - "SUBSTANCEOFMYF" So I by that; it is my day, my life. Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, But dies, betray'd to fortune by your strife. She is not hot, but temperate as the morn; There, take it; and much thanks for my good cheer. And he's at some hard point. Speak, man: thy tongue Now sit we close about this taper here, Come, boy, and go with me: thy sight is young, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Of that which hath so faithfully been paid. First, of my word; therefore play, music. Prince, Marry that will, I live and die a maid: Yes, 'tis most meet: whom may you else oppose, For I have bought it with an hundred blows. MCDLXXVIII - "LESHWERETHOUGH" Left there round turrets destitute and pale. Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Sirrah, call in my sons to be my bail; Her more than haste is mated with delays, Whilst some with cunning gild their copper crowns, Even for this let us divided live, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Hath pass'd in safety through the narrow seas, O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Upon the next live creature that it sees. Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; He was a king bless'd of the King of kings. MCDLXXIX - "TINJURIOUSDIST" To make great haste. All fast? what means this? Ho! I do beseech you, take it not amiss; Needs must I under my transgression bow, Jack Cade, the Duke of York hath taught you this. Upon these eyes of thine I'll set my foot. Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Or at the least this refuge let me find; Unto a view so false will not incline; Since I have lost, have loved, was in mine eye Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine I'll rob none but myself; and let me die, Saint George and victory! fight, soldiers, fight. The lazy time, if not with some delight? MCDLXXX - "ANCESHOULDNOTS" As fast as they are made, forgot as soon Now, if you are a maid, answer to this. Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Outruns the eye that doth behold his haste, Upon his visage, and that all the walls Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. Disdainful to be tried by't: 'tis not well. Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. O, then, what graces in my love do dwell, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly So sweet a death as hanging presently. MCDLXXXI - "TOPMYWAYFORTHE" That stays to bear my letters to my friends, One woe doth tread upon another's heel, Pardon me, Edward, I will make amends: My father's loss, the weakness which I feel, Yea, faith itself to hollow falsehood change! With many hundreds treading on his heels; And says that once more I shall interchange Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels, For though usurpers sway the rule awhile, Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Than those I shed for him. What was he like? He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. MCDLXXXII - "NDESPITEOFSPAC" Nay, stay; by Jove, I will not speak a word: Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines? Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Prefer them hither; for to cunning men I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours The worst returns to laughter. Welcome then, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Or bathe my dying honour in the blood For more is to be said and to be done Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood. Philip, my liege, so is my name begun, And, like a dew-drop from the lion's mane, Could draw to part them, was stout Tybalt slain. MCDLXXXIII - "EIWOULDBEBROUG" Except a sword or sceptre balance it: I would attach you all and make you stoop We should take root here where we sit, or sit O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Look on my forces with a gracious eye; Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: But the defendant doth that plea deny Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, But now I know thy mind; thou dost suspect Remove you hence. I knew you at the first Or with some dram conjured to this effect, Unless a brother should a brother dare Give me some sack; and, sweetheart, lie thou there. MCDLXXXIV - "HTFROMLIMITSFA" Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. There is a history in all men's lives, For I will board her though she chide as loud Rather than render back, out with your knives, O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? My custom always of the afternoon, Look sweet, be fair, become disloyalty; It is the very error of the moon; Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub, Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; To shrink mine arm up like a wither'd shrub; Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! Fifty ways; therefore tremble and depart. And may you prove, sir, master of your art! MCDLXXXV - "RREMOTEWHERETH" Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Reserve their character with golden quill Empties itself, as doth an inland brook More than enough am I that vex thee still, Oppress'd with wrongs and therefore full of fears, There will I make thee a bed of roses, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, When summer's breath their masked buds discloses: Hear from me still, and never of me aught Every man shift for all the rest, and Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. Ere I could make thee open thy white hand The other, Walter Whitmore, is thy share. He's a lamb indeed, that baes like a bear. MCDLXXXVI - "OUDOSTSTAYNOMA" Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. Uneven is the course, I like it not. Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' On whom I may confer what I have got: Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. That I should questionless be fortunate! Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse, The more that Henry was unfortunate. And when you would say something that is sad, Yet, I persuade myself, to speak the truth Never bestrid a horse, save one that had O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth! Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks; And thou shalt find that I exceed my sex. MCDLXXXVII - "TTERTHENALTHOU" Two may keep counsel, putting one away? The cruel issue of these bloody men; Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Receive each other. God speak this Amen! This was an ill beginning of the night: He that has and a little tiny wit- Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Not to break peace, or any branch of it, Ay, and we are betroth'd: nay, more, our, Like to the Garter's compass, in a ring: The king with mighty and quick-raised power Had the fore-hand and vantage of a king. Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self, Upon so soft a subject as myself! MCDLXXXVIII - "GHMYFOOTDIDSTA" Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds. Holds from all soldiers chief majority Must not be toss'd and turn'd to me in words, Your sovereign greatness and authority. From forth the noise and rumour of the field, Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars Down with that sword! Tribunes, withdraw awhile. Impatient answers from my gentle tongue? Deep, hollow, treacherous, and full of guile, Something to do with you. Come, you're a young That I were couching with the doctor's clerk. Ay, marry, sir, now it begins to work. MCDLXXXIX - "NDUPONTHEFARTH" No more that thane of Cawdor shall deceive Dar'st thou support a publish'd traitor? Hence! Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave Pursue him to his house, and pluck him thence: Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six No more, good York; sweet Somerset, be still: That I, in forgery of shapes and tricks, How she opposes her against my will Enow to press a royal merchant down For which the heavens, taking angry note, And now the house of York, thrust from the crown Ready to catch each other by the throat, That the probation bear no hinge nor loop Having full scarce six thousand in his troop. MCDXC - "ESTEARTHREMOVE" Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. So come to you and yours, as to this Prince! Then take him up, and manage well the jest: Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, A giving hand, though foul, shall have fair praise. Remember whom you are to cope withal; That tongue that tells the story of thy days, Have they been merry! which their keepers call Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Enough: my soul shall then be satisfied. May enter 'twixt the gap of both and take O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MCDXCI - "DFROMTHEEFORNI" Did flesh his puny sword in Frenchmen's blood! Fellow, be gone: I cannot brook thy sight: Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; O God, that right should thus overcome might! More than a little is by much too much. The lane is guarded: nothing routs us but Honour and virtue and conversed with such Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Farewell, proud Rome; till Lucius come again, On your broad main doth wilfully appear. Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; I will be mild and gentle in my speech. MCDXCII - "MBLETHOUGHTCAN" My love admits no qualifying dross; Bell, book, and candle shall not drive me back, Lo, here, the hopeless merchant of this loss, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Takes on the point of honour to support Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; O gentlemen, the time of life is short! Unto another lady of esteem: Good uncle Marcus, see how swift she comes. He had the wit which I can well observe The violence of either thee becomes, Come, enter with us. Ladies, you deserve As great in admiration as herself; Never lacks power to dismiss itself. MCDXCIII - "JUMPBOTHSEAAND" Just to the time, not with the time exchanged, Upon the maiden virtue of the crown. My lord, the mind of Bolingbroke is changed: Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down. Brother, she is not worth what she doth cost One touch of nature makes the whole world kin, That robs thee of thy goodness! If thou dost His borrow'd purse. Well, Jessica, go in; Stoop then and set your knee against my foot; Effect it with some care, that he may prove And on your finger in the night I'll put And wish, so please my sovereign, ere I move, No thought can think, nor tongue of mortal tell. Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well. MCDXCIV - "LANDASSOONASTH" Like to a censer in a barber's shop. And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns. Now climbeth Tamora Olympus' top, Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds And Tarquin's eye may read the mot afar, She says enough; yet she's a simple bawd She prizes not such trifles as these are: Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad, O, that your young nobility could judge Nay, this way, man: see where the huntsmen stand. And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? Saint Lawrence Poultney, did of me demand That, whiles warm life plays in that infant's veins, Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains. MCDXCV - "INKTHEPLACEWHE" In confutation of which rude reproach Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims King John, your king and England's doth approach, The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims He shall here find his friends with horse and men Edmund had issue, Roger Earl of March; Peace! break thee off! Look where it comes again! Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his Can I do this, and cannot get a crown? Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: What, will you walk with me about the town, Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Enough, captain: you have astonished him. MCDXCVI - "REHEWOULDBEBUT" Rely upon it till my tale be heard, England we love; and for that England's sake He lends thee virtue and he stole that word Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make With blood of fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, Or, rather, do I not in plainest truth Upon my target three fair-shining suns. Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth, Damsel of France, I think I have you fast: Business, my lord! I think most understand Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. But dreadful war shall answer his demand. Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown, The King and Queen and all are coming down. MCDXCVII - "AHTHOUGHTKILLS" As level as the cannon to his blank, He fastened on my neck, and bellowed out That unassailable holds on his rank, Hang nothing but a calf's-skin, most sweet lout. O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes; The commonwealth is sick of their own choice; Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate, Ill-nurtured, crooked, churlish, harsh in voice, Let kings assemble; for my grief's so great Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time. Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. MCDXCVIII - "METHATIAMNOTTH" My father's purposes have been mistook; Even like a man new haled from the rack, Think, being too strong for him, though he took He might return to vasty Tartar back, Absent thee from felicity awhile, Together with that fair and warlike form I jest to Oberon and make him smile And with a great heart heave away the storm: My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Thou'lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange To drive away the heavy thought of care? How easy is a bush supposed a bear! MCDXCIX - "OUGHTTOLEAPLAR" Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease; Unchain your spirits now with spelling charms Gone to be married! gone to swear a peace! Hath yoked a nation strong, train'd up in arms. Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Teach not thy lips such scorn, for they were made Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Let it fall rather, though the fork invade Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, And for your grace; and you, my noble lords. Pardon me, Edward, I will make amends: Look for the news that the Guildhall affords. And lose advantage, which doth ever cool Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. MD - "GELENGTHSOFMIL" Good parts aside I have no other charms. Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Lavinia, thou shalt be employ'd: these arms! Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: No; I will sit and watch here by the King. Good fortune, worthy soldier; and farewell. Then what intends these forces thou dost bring? Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell, So then two bosoms and a single troth. O, make them joyful, grant their lawful suit! For to deny each article with oath Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit I know from whence this same device proceeds: Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. MDI - "ESWHENTHOUARTG" Engenders the black toad and adder blue, Such troops of citizens to speak with him, Which with sweet water nightly I will dew, Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Each present lord began to promise aid, Nay, Gloucester, know that thou art come too soon, The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid He was but as the cuckoo is in June, O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! Upon thy feature; for my rage was blind, Abetting him to thwart me in my mood! Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Go, bid her hide him quickly from the duke. MDII - "ONEBUTTHATSOMU" O, had thy mother borne so hard a mind, No more; and by a sleep to say we end Expect him here: when he shall come and find But lately, very late. I lov'd him, friend- Under pretence to see the queen his aunt-- Thy praises in his kingdom's great defence, That this his love was an eternal plant, Her madness hath the oddest frame of sense, And add more coals to Cancer when he burns The better arm you to the sudden time, She's apt to learn, and thankful for good turns. Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Methinks King Richard and myself should meet Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. MDIII - "CHOFEARTHANDWA" Commonly are; the want of which vain dew He goes hence frowning: but it honours us O, know, sweet love, I always write of you, For man or master. Then it follows thus: Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, A letter was deliver'd to my hands, Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Take thou that too, with multiplying bans! Her father hath commanded her to slip And thither bear your treasure and your goods. Now am I like that proud insulting ship Dispark'd my parks and fell'd my forest woods, With colours fairer painted their foul ends. And they shall find dear deer of us, my friends. MDIV - "TERWROUGHTIMUS" Tread on the sand; why, there you quickly sink: Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Whom I made lord of me and all I had, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: Good tidings, my Lord Hastings; for the which How were I then uplifted! but, alas! That makes thee strangle thy propriety: If thou art changed to aught, 'tis to an ass. May be put from her by society: Unclaim'd of any man. But who comes here? She should have bought her dignities so dear. MDV - "TATTENDTIMESLE" Till honour be bought up and no sword worn And so shall mine, before you touch the meat. The queen of earthly queens: she's noble born; Thou art a fool; if Echo were as fleet, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon No further halting: satisfy me home Disdaining me and throwing favours on To take in many towns ere almost Rome Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Making not reservation of yourselves, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, So may the outward shows be least themselves: Learn him forbearance from so foul a wrong. Else had she with her father rang'd along. MDVI - "ISUREWITHMYMOA" I was directed hither: men report Shall not be long but I'll be here again: Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Where you may have such vantage on the duke, In the vile prison of afflicted breath. Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. How he did shake: 'tis true, this god did shake; Mine appetite I never more will grind Your heart is full of something that does take My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind, Or by what means got'st thou to be released? And flaky darkness breaks within the east. MDVII - "NRECEIVINGNOUG" Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Reward did threaten and encourage him, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Came for additions; yet their purposed trim Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. It will the woefullest division prove Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how I'll look to like, if looking liking move: No more infected with my country's love Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; No more than I am well acquitted of. O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. Urge it no more; lest that, instead of words, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds. MDVIII - "HTBYELEMENTSSO" Hath in her more destruction than thy sword, Together with that fair and warlike form Being the bosom lover of my lord, Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Let life be short; else shame will be too long. Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Mine shall not do his Julia so much wrong. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Nay, all of you that stand and look upon, The proffer'd means of succor and redress. Subject, makes old hearts fresh: they that went on Send thy brass voice through all these lazy tents; O heavy times, begetting such events! MDIX - "SLOWBUTHEAVYTE" Stabbed their mothers, they would have done no less. Look into these affairs see this main end, Of this his nephew's purpose, to suppress What is amiss plague and infection mend! But when contention and occasion meet, Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style The bitter past, more welcome is the sweet. Here at the palace I will rest awhile. Each changing place with that which goes before, And hold-fast is the only dog, my duck: Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? You do their work, and they shall have good luck: Though my gross blood be stain'd with this abuse, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MDX - "ARSBADGESOFEIT" Ah ha, my mistresses! which of you all Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. So that the ram that batters down the wall, Believe me, lords, for flying at the brook, Are glad and fain by flight to save themselves. Devoured by the unexpected flood. God should be so obdurate as yourselves, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Solicit'st here a lady that disdains Of the duke's confessor, John de la Car, Full of unpleasing blots and sightless stains, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; I do beweep to many simple gulls The field of Golgotha and dead men's skulls. MDXI - "HERSWOETHEOTHE" How shall this bisson multitude digest Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, Such dreadful heralds to astonish us. Why, then I will do what your grace commands. O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. England, impatient of your just demands, The viol once more: how thou stirr'st, thou block! How can I then be elder than thou art? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. O perjured woman! thou dost stone my heart, The mellow plum doth fall, the green sticks fast, How now, young man! mean'st thou to fight to-day? Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MDXII - "RTWOSLIGHTAIRA" Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains To make a stale of me amongst these mates? Would you not deem it breathed? and that those veins Off with his head, and set it on York gates; Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; Lavinia, you are not displeased with this? I must have patience to endure the load: Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. He, he, and you, and you, my liege, and I, This week he hath been heavy, sour, sad, As from my soul, which in thy breast doth lie: I do not bid thee beg my life, good lad; Reply not in how many fathoms deep Alas the heavy day! Why do you weep? MDXIII - "NDPURGINGFIREA" Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, Put rancours in the vessel of my peace Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Good for their meat, and safer for their lives. I do assure thee, father, so it is. Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word For never was a story of more woe Is thicker than a cuckold's horn,--or heard,-- Receive them then, the tribute that I owe, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. And look thyself be faultless, thou wert best. MDXIV - "REBOTHWITHTHEE" Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Because I love you, I will let you know: One way or other, she is for a king; Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge When I should bid good-morrow to my bride I would to God that the inclusive verge Thou think'st 'tis much that this contentious storm Here is your husband, like a mildew'd ear The which if He be pleased I shall perform, Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MDXV - "WHEREVERIABIDE" What judgment shall I dread, doing no wrong? Hangs one that gathers sampire- dreadful trade! Else had she with her father rang'd along. Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Into your idle over-handled theme: And after many scorns, many foul taunts, Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream. If not, shun me, and I will spare your haunts. Divides more wider than the sky and earth, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MDXVI - "THEFIRSTMYTHOU" The flesh-fly blow my mouth. Hear my soul speak: How often he had met you, sword to sword; Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Further I will not flatter you, my lord, I warrant you, my lord, more grace than boy. Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Set foot under thy table. Tut, a toy! To reason most absurd, whose common theme My daughter! what of her? Renew thy strength: Yet in the eddy boundeth in his pride This likes me well. These foils have all a length? Hast thou not spoke like thunder on my side, Of any true decision. Nature craves Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. MDXVII - "GHTTHEOTHERMYD" Go, drag the villain hither by the hair; He and his toothpick at my worship's mess, That his foul thoughts might compass his fair fair, That as his worthy deeds did claim no less Had I but served my God with half the zeal Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, One woe doth tread upon another's heel, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Remuneration for the thing it was; Make holiday; your rye-straw hats put on Yet in the trial much opinion dwells; Dares stir a wing, if Warwick shake his bells. MDXVIII - "ESIRETHESEPRES" Expire before the flowers in their caps, Suffer't, and live with such as cannot rule Into the staggers and the careless lapse Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Said he young Harry Percy's spur was cold? Even like a man new haled from the rack, Play with your fancies, and in them behold Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Early and late, debating to and fro So two, together weeping, make one woe. MDXIX - "ENTABSENTWITHS" Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Now in good time, here comes the duke himself. To Italy; and there at Venice gave And mark what object did present itself. But that's no matter; let him kill one first; Speak, fair; but speak fair words, or else be mute: Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Norfolk, throw down, we bid; there is no boot. That shall be woo'd and wedded in a day. Will not my tongue be mute, my frail joints shake, I was too strict to make mine own away; Though light, take pieces for the figure's sake: His tears run down his beard, like winter's drops Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. MDXX - "WIFTMOTIONSLID" Which writ his honour in the acts it did, Is very snow-broth; one who never feels Finding myself in honour so forbid, Tickle the senseless rushes with their heels, My boon I make it that you know me not O God, that seest it, do not suffer it! To keep by policy what Henry got? I mean, that my heart unto yours is knit Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad, Not prizing her poor infant's discontent; So shall my virtue be his vice's bawd; Lo, citizens, he says he is content: I pray you stand good father to me now; Do it, and happy; by my silver bow! MDXXI - "EFORWHENTHESEQ" East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, For going on death's net, whom none resist. O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Rather than so, come fate into the list. Winchester goose, I cry, a rope! a rope! Hold, Clifford! do not honour him so much England did never owe so sweet a hope, No glory lives behind the back of such. To win this easy match play'd for a crown? His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Show me a villain that hath done a rape, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Quiet thy cudgel; thou dost see I eat. MDXXII - "UICKERELEMENTS" Upon the like devotion as yourselves, If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Knave; that's, before me thou'rt a knave: this had Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown. Excepting one, I would he were the best Lest with my sighs or tears I blast or drown Ely with Richmond troubles me more near May all the building in my fancy pluck Even or odd, of all days in the year, No deeper wrinkles yet? hath sorrow struck To clear this spot by death, at least I give Should dying men flatter with those that live? MDXXIII - "AREGONEINTENDE" Are they gone, and there they intend to sup. Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Great Mars, I put myself into thy file: O monstrous beast, how like a swine he lies! Now, as I can remember, by my troth, Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: It seldom visits sorrow; when it doth, Nor to comply with heat--the young affects That having such a scope to show her pride, Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Ne'er through an arch so hurried the blown tide, Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast: Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MDXXIV - "REMBASSYOFLOVE" Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. My father's purposes have been mistook; But your request shall make me let it pass. As old as Sibyl, and as curst and shrewd Sticks deeper, grows with more pernicious root Shut up in prison, kept without my food, Your highness shall do well to grant her suit; O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. Free lords, cold snow melts with the sun's hot beams. Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? O hard-believing love, how strange it seems Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. MDXXV - "TOTHEEMYLIFEBE" This maugre all the world will I keep safe, Or here or elsewhere to the furthest verge These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard My hope is gone, now Suffolk is deceased. Yes, I beseech; or I shall short my word Look up a-height. The shrill-gorg'd lark so far I pour the helpless balm of my poor eyes. From which awaked, the truth of what we are Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, But not the form of what he should attend. Either of you to be the other's end. MDXXVI - "INGMADEOFFOURW" I crave fit disposition for my wife. No, I protest, I know not the contents; Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life; My poverty, but not my will, consents. And yet I know not how to get the crown, Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Or for love's sake, a word that loves all men, For men diseased; but I, my mistress' thrall, For who that's but a queen, fair, sober, wise, O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes Rely upon it till my tale be heard, What's your dark meaning, mouse, of this light word? MDXXVII - "ITHTWOALONESIN" Inclinable to honour and advance The bloody proclamation to escape Her brother is in secret come from France; The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape, Would I might never stir from off this place, O, God defend my soul from such deep sin! And spit it bleeding in his high disgrace, Let her awhile be secretly kept in, Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich No doubt, shall then and till then govern well. Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Suspect I may, yet not directly tell: It is my will, the which if thou respect, Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect. MDXXVIII - "KSDOWNTODEATHO" Keep house and port and servants, as I should; Show me your image in some antique book, Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Will I make good against thee, arm to arm, Now, by my sword, well hast thou fought to-day; That speaks thy words again to do thee harm! On purpose shut the doors against his way. Did ever love so dearly: let her live Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, And that his beauty may the better thrive, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Her eyes myself, could win me to believe, Occasion smiles upon a second leave. MDXXIX - "PPRESSDWITHMEL" Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; Poor bird! thou'ldst never fear the net nor lime, Repose you there, whilst I to this hard house Exception bid him speak, and at this time Stones have been known to move and trees to speak; Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck Delay this marriage for a month, a week; When Cressy battle fatally was struck, If I hope well, I'll never see thee more. The king, I fear, is poison'd by a monk: Having received the punishment before, My ransom is this frail and worthless trunk, Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Let them be welcome then: we are prepared. MDXXX - "ANCHOLYUNTILLI" A holy parcel of the fairest dames. Nor send him forth that we may bear him hence. Can sick men play so nicely with their names? He like a thievish dog creeps sadly thence; Or lose mine arm fort: thou hast beat me out Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees Yet, ere thou go, but answer me one doubt, Upon the next live creature that it sees. Nay, follow'd him, till he had melted from The better act of purposes mistook I'ld rather than the worth of thrice the sum, Lest rest and lying still might make them look Look to thy bark: I'll not be long before It helps not, it prevails not: talk no more. MDXXXI - "FESCOMPOSITION" From forth the ranks of many thousand French, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench Can I go forward when my heart is here? Or take his life there: this if she perform, My husband bids me; now I will unmask. Patience, good sir; do not assist the storm. On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Speechless complainer, I will learn thy thought; If Marcus did not name the word of hands! The battles of the Lord of hosts he fought: If not, the end of life cancels all bands; On me, and you, and mine, and yours for this! No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. MDXXXII - "BERECUREDBYTHO" Beseech you, sir, be merry; you have cause, Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Cannot take two from twenty, for his heart, Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Disburse the sum on the receipt thereof: Bring in the banquet quickly; wine enough Yet who knows not conscience is born of love? Takes from his high respect: thither Macduff Here sits a king more woful than you are. O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! MDXXXIII - "SESWIFTMESSENG" Such as she says my lord did say I was. Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Suppose they take offence without a cause, Wilt thou be made a man out of my vice? In forwarding this dear expedience. Fortune, good night; smile once more, turn thy wheel. Thy humble servant vows obedience My lord, kneel down with me; Lavinia, kneel; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, England ne'er had a king until his time. Nor shall not, if I do as I intend. Go, and be free again, as Suffolk's friend. MDXXXIV - "ERSRETURNDFROM" Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Smile with an austere regard of control,-- Refuse me, hate me, torture me to death! Extinguishing his conduct in this case; To bring him to the haven; left these notes Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: No, so God help me, they spake not a word; Detest them, curse them: yet 'tis greater skill For do but note a wild and wanton herd, Reason becomes the marshal to my will Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Make choice of which your highness will see first. MDXXXV - "THEEWHOEVENBUT" The mere despair of surgery, he cures, Had he done so, himself had borne the crown, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Enow to press a royal merchant down Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege; He makes me angry with him; for he seems Of what you should forget. Now, good my liege Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Narcissus so himself himself forsook, But soft! but soft! aside! Here comes the King- Until four hundred one and twenty years These words like daggers enter in mine ears. MDXXXVI - "NOWCOMEBACKAGA" Navarre had notice of your fair approach; On this fair corse; and, as the custom is, With edge of penny cord and vile reproach: Cry the amen; and yet my conscience says O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! My unprovided body, lanch'd mine arm; Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; But honest fear, bewitch'd with lust's foul charm, And instantly unlock my fortunes here. Candied with ice, caudle thy morning taste, Kind uncle York, the latest news we hear And manners, to intrude where I am graced; Give me the letter; I will look on it. And soon lie Richard in an earthly pit! MDXXXVII - "INASSUREDOFTHY" It he is to sojourn with you? How creeps Nothing, sweet boy; but yet, like prayers divine, Anon he rears upright, curvets and leaps, Stay, give me drink. Hamlet, this pearl is thine; Say thou wilt course; thy greyhounds are as swift Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift Either withdraw unto some private place, Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. For, like an ass whose back with ingots bows, The labour of each knight in his device. Have left their places vacant, in their rooms You logger-headed and unpolish'd grooms! MDXXXVIII - "FAIRHEALTHRECO" For, look you, I may make the belly smile And--God consigning to my good intents- I am not merry; but I do beguile Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. How possibly preserved; and who to thank, Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, And hid his crisp head in the hollow bank, Like a poor beggar, raileth on the rich. That sometime true news, sometime false doth bring, His hand, that yet remains upon her breast,-- Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Excepting one, I would he were the best Call it by what you will, the day is yours; O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! MDXXXIX - "UNTINGITTOMETH" Unseemly woman in a seeming man! Now will I charge you in the band of truth, Therefore no more turn me to him, sweet Nan. I may, for some things true, wherein my youth Now must I hide his body in some hole, Great Lord of Warwick, if we should recount Is as a fury to torment my soul; There is a gentleman that serves the count The fishermen that walk upon the beach Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Montano and myself being in speech, Even for this let us divided live, They may astonish these fell-lurking curs: Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? MDXL - "ISTOLDIJOYBUTT" Into a thousand oaths; and all those oaths Strive to speak big and clap their female joints To me she's married, not unto my clothes. Of the good queen, but the sharp thorny points Let him depart; his passport shall be made Drag hence her husband to some secret hole, I must not hear thee; fare thee well, kind maid; John, to stop Arthur's title in the whole, O, answer not, but to my closet bring Yes, yes; the lines are very quaintly writ; Brother, farewell: I will unto the king; Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; The virtue of your eye must break my oath. That I have been thus pleasant with you both. MDXLI - "HENNOLONGERGLA" Hail to you, provost! so I think you are. Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Nature dispenses with the deed so far Now boast thee, death, in thy possession lies O Westmoreland, thou art a summer bird, Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. Now when the lords and barons of the realm Go to my cave and tell me. Good old man, Even for this let us divided live, Reprove my allegation, if you can; Give me thy fist, thy fore-foot to me give: Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. A landless knight makes thee a landed squire. MDXLII - "DISENDTHEMBACK" Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir; I am not sick, if Brutus have in hand Saucy and overbold? How did you dare Every man shift for all the rest, and Now am I seated as my soul delights, Doth more solicit me than your exclaims, This world I do renounce, and, in your sights, His grandam's wrongs, and not his mother's shames, Extorted treasure in the womb of earth My father, in kind heart and pity moved, Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth And like a mountain, not to be removed. Conscience is but a word that cowards use, Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? MDXLIII - "AGAINANDSTRAIG" Ah, would the scandal vanish with my life, God keep the prince from all the pack of you! Against confounding age's cruel knife, I say I love thee more than he can do. Now, for my life, the knave doth court my love. And strangers ne'er beheld but wondered at; No more than I am well acquitted of. Did lack a parallel; yet for all that Shall I for love speak treason to thy face? There, where your argosies with portly sail, Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: And down I laid to list the sad-tuned tale; I shall, King Harry. And so fare thee well: Go; I'll to dinner: hie you to the cell. MDXLIV - "HTGROWSADMINEE" His agile arm beats down their fatal points, Thus hath the course of justice wheel'd about, Go charge my goblins that they grind their joints Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Of any king's in Europe. I do think Weeping before for what she saw must come, Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! A lying trophy, and as oft is dumb Drunk me would have bought me lights as good cheap My lord, fair Helen told me of their stealth, In seeking to augment it, but still keep Nor pluck it from his finger, for the wealth Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MDXLV - "YEANDHEARTAREA" You see how simple and how fond I am. Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast An if the devil come and roar for them, Night hangs upon mine eyes; my bones would rest, Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Each in his office ready at thy beck. And doubt not, sir, but she will well excuse Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Then go with me to make the matter good. And be thy wife--if any be so mad-- Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! And either victory, or else a grave. MDXLVI - "TAMORTALWARHOW" The night to the owl and morn to the lark And like a mountain, not to be removed. Must climb a bird's nest soon when it is dark: O, 'tis the curse in love, and still approved, Romans, of five and twenty valiant sons, The water nectar and the rocks pure gold. Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Lo, by my truth, the instrument is cold Where I will write. All may be well enough. And stalk in blood to our possession? Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, How long have you been of this profession? O, step between her and her fighting soul When most impeach'd stands least in thy control. MDXLVII - "TODIVIDETHECON" That makes him honour'd, or begets him hate; Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, Do pelt so fast at one another's pate I cannot strike at wretched kerns, whose arms Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. If I think so, I think the same of you. During whose reign the Percies of the north, Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. To say 'live, boy:' ne'er thank thy master; live: Here's a good world the while! Why who's so gross, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; Or those eyes shut, that make thee answer 'I.' No, no, men living flatter those that die. MDXLVIII - "QUESTOFTHYSIGH" Question, my lords, no further of the case, Unless you have the grace by your fair prayer Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Sans fable, she herself reviled you there. This tongue hath parley'd unto foreign kings Of the good queen, but the sharp thorny points Fanning the hairs, who wave like feather'd wings. They shall have none, I swear, but these my joints; Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. Your exposition on the holy text Study to break it and not break my troth. I vow'd, base knight, when I did meet thee next, Great Mars, I put myself into thy file: How does my old acquaintance of this isle? MDXLIX - "TMINEEYEMYHEAR" To me she's married, not unto my clothes. My father and my grandfather were kings, Into a thousand oaths; and all those oaths No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings England, impatient of your just demands, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near You have enscheduled briefly in your hands. Even or odd, of all days in the year, My pretty cousins, you mistake me much; Yea, this solidity and compound mass, Have to you, but with thanks to God for such Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And they shall find dear deer of us, my friends. Return, return, and make thy love amends. MDL - "TTHYPICTURESSI" They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel, Try many, all good, serve truly, never Have scarce strength left to give them burial. You're overthrown, you're undone for ever! Patience awhile, good Cassio. Come, come; It makes the consuls base: and my soul aches Call. Bully knight! bully Sir John! speak from Thou shouldst come like a Fury crown'd with snakes, Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Retain that dear perfection which he owes Effect it with some care, that he may prove Soldier, thou art: but his whole action grows Sleep, Richmond, sleep in peace, and wake in joy; It was not Anne, but a postmaster's boy. MDLI - "GHTWOULDBARMYH" Go thrust him out at gates, and let him smell Have uncontemn'd gone by him, or at least The clock hath strucken twelve upon the bell; With all my heart, I'll gossip at this feast. Of my wife's brother, then his cheek look'd pale, Upon the instant that she was accused, Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused By how much of me their reproach contains. And then with lank and lean discolour'd cheek, Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains My favour here begins to warp. Not speak? Yet did repent me, after more advice; He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. MDLII - "EARTMINEEYETHE" Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Appointed to direct these fair designs. Remember me at court; where I was taught To creatures stern sad tunes, to change their kinds: Meet and ne'er part till one drop down a corse. I thank you; you shall hear from me anon: Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their course Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Except mine own name: that some whirlwind bear You use in abject and in slavish parts, Either be patient, and entreat me fair, That way inclining, harden'd be the hearts His blessed part to heaven, and slept in peace. Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MDLIII - "FREEDOMOFTHATR" For eighteen months concluded by consent. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Either of king or council, when you went Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Domestics to you, serve your will as't please O my good lord, the world is but a word: Make motion through my lips, and my arm'd knees, Of that report which I so oft have heard. Fat paunches have lean pates, and dainty bits That 'scuse serves many men to save their gifts. His sorrows have so overwhelm'd his wits, As far as I could ken thy chalky cliffs, Thy wretched wife mistook the matter so, Rather than triumph in so false a foe. MDLIV - "IGHTMYHEARTDOT" In the great hand of God I stand; and thence Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. His banners sable, trimm'd with rich expense; Thou hast astonish'd me with thy high terms: Mine hair be fixed on end, as one distract; Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young How can they then assist me in the act? Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. And my estate deserves an heir more raised Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! To half a soul and to a notion crazed Doth much excuse the appertaining rage One time or other break some gallows' back. To look like her are chimney-sweepers black. MDLV - "HPLEADTHATTHOU" Have broken with the king; who hath so far Pardon, my liege, that I have stay'd so long. Lord governor, for so we hear you are, Else had she with her father rang'd along. All swoln with chafing, down Adonis sits, Dry up in her the organs of increase; To cool this heat, a charm to calm these fits. How that ambitious Constance would not cease And let the kettle to the trumpet speak, The eldest son and heir of John of Gaunt, The pretty dimples of his chin and cheek, His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt Of what conditions we shall stand upon? Uncle of Winchester, I pray, read on. MDLVI - "INHIMDOSTLIEAC" It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood: Now climbeth Tamora Olympus' top, Here stands the spring whom you have stain'd with mud, I must be brief, lest resolution drop My speech and what is done, tell him he has Dispatch! The room where they supp'd is too hot; On his head, bearing a long white wand, as So sweet a kiss the golden sun gives not There was not such a gracious creature born. Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. Is it more sin to wish me thus forsworn, Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Are my discourses dull? barren my wit? Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit! MDLVII - "LOSETNEVERPIER" Look in mine eye-balls, there thy beauty lies; Or failing so, yet that I put the Moor So seems this gorgeous beauty to mine eyes. Exposing what is mortal and unsure That gold must round engirt these brows of mine, Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind; Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Perish the man whose mind is backward now! I know not how to tell thee who I am: Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. MDLVIII - "CEDWITHCRYSTAL" Come on, I say; and first begin with her. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Dat is as it sall please de roi mon pere. Which each to other hath so strongly sworn. I pray you all, tell me what they deserve Thou art too noble to conserve a life He had the wit which I can well observe Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife! Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Your breath of full consent bellied his sails; Since thou dost deign to woo her little worth The nimble-footed madcap Prince of Wales, A whole armado of convicted sail Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. MDLIX - "EYESBUTTHEDEFE" Environed with all these hideous fears? Yet, I remember, when I was in France, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Since you are strangers and come here by chance, Beggar the estimation which you prized Upon his party for the gain thereof: Treason, my lord! Lavinia is surprised! The constancy and virtue of your love. Here's a good world! Knew you of this fair work? Early and late, debating to and fro Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: For ever may my knees grow to the earth, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MDLX - "NDANTDOTHTHATP" No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, And rape, I fear, was root of thine annoy. Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! The one a palate hath that needs will taste, Drown desperate sorrow in dead Edward's grave, O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. That blushing red no guilty instance gave, His sons he there proclaim'd the kings of kings: These women are shrewd tempters with their tongues. How would he hang his slender gilded wings, As hath been belch'd on by infected lungs. This whole earth may be bored and that the moon Play, music, then! Nay, you must do it soon. MDLXI - "LEADENYANDSAYS" Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Appears before them and with solemn march Dumb jewels often in their silent kind Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Nay, in the body of this fleshly land, Your creatures, who by you have been restored: Ah, thou, the model where old Troy did stand, Now, blessing on thee! rise; thou art my child. Distinctly speak of her; though I may fear So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, And both the princes had been breathing here, You know I am a woman, lacking wit So many guests invite as here are writ. MDLXII - "INHIMTHYFAIRAP" I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, In thee at once; which thou at once wouldst lose. Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each The robb'd that smiles steals something from the thief; Her sight did ravish; but her grace in speech, You hold too heinous a respect of grief. France is revolted from the English quite, And justly and religiously unfold If you deny it, let the danger light Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Ah, madam, 'tis too true: and that is worse, Pistol, did you pick Master Slender's purse? MDLXIII - "PEARANCELIESTO" Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; Except it be to pray against thy foes. And like rich hangings in a homely house, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. A sister driven into desp'rate terms, Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. Come, come, you forward and unable worms! Either they must be dieted like mules Let loose on me the justice of the state I take it, by all voices, that forthwith Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Son should be a fool; whose skull Jove cram with The boy gives warning something doth approach. O, whither shall we fly from this reproach? MDLXIV - "CIDETHISTITLEI" Come hither, herald. Let the trumpet sound, I shall receive the money for the same. Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? Envy your great deservings and good name, Threw my affections in his charmed power, Her parentage; being demanded that, If thou be'st yet a fresh uncropped flower, Some, that are mad if they behold a cat; Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. I was not much afeard; for once or twice The form of my intent. I'll serve this duke: Let her who would be rid of him devise Extremity of griefs would make men mad; I know not, madam. 'Tis too bad, too bad! MDLXV - "SIMPANNELEDAQU" Sir Richard, what think you? have you beheld, Is quite beyond mine arm, out of the blank My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Perforce will force it overflow the bank. At Rhodes, at Cyprus and on other grounds None, but your beauty: would that fault were mine! Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Didst not thou share? hadst thou not fifteen pence? And very sea-mark of my utmost sail. Quoted and sign'd to do a deed of shame, Using no other weapon but his name. MDLXVI - "ESTOFTHOUGHTSA" Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make She that in wisdom never was so frail The statute of thy beauty thou wilt take, Of my wife's brother, then his cheek look'd pale, For yet ere supper-time must I perform To do myself this wrong: till, at the last, Had not been here to dress the ugly form Out of mine own; his days and times are past Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, Touch you the sourest points with sweetest terms, Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? As thou hast lent me wit to plot this drift! MDLXVII - "LLTENANTSTOTHE" Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! Lo, what befell! He threw his eye aside, Thus it remains, and the remainder thus. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Now, by this hand, I gave it to a youth, And, when he says he is, say that he dreams, Nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth The enemy more mighty than he seems: Stain to all nymphs, more lovely than a man, To die is to be banish'd from myself; Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan The bearer knows not, but commends itself He that is strucken blind cannot forget Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MDLXVIII - "HEARTANDBYTHEI" His corrigible neck, his face subdued Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Abetting him to thwart me in my mood! Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; That thou provok'st thyself to cast him up. And he will fill thy wishes to the brim Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Doth love my daughter, and she loveth him, But to himself so secret and so close, Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? Henry the Fifth: whiles they each other cross, Engaging and redeeming of himself I'll die on him that says so but yourself. MDLXIX - "RVERDICTISDETE" Resolvedly more leisure shall express: Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Do I put up that womanly defence, I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Come on, you thick lipp'd slave, I'll bear you hence; The cedar stoops not to the base shrub's foot, It should the good ship so have swallow'd and Since you will buckle fortune on my back, Darraign your battle, for they are at hand. Even like a man new haled from the rack, That no supporter but the huge firm earth England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MDLXX - "RMINEDTHECLEAR" Rely upon it till my tale be heard, My mother did but duty; such, my lord, If thou spy'st any, run and bring me word; Nay, never lay thy hand upon thy sword; English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Discover how, and thou shalt find me just. Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north His naked armour of still-slaughter'd lust, Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Come, sir, dispatch. If thou couldst, doctor, cast Let them be welcome then: we are prepared. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And writers say, as the most forward bud Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? MDLXXI - "EYESMOIETYANDT" Either withdraw unto some private place, Yonder comes news. A wager they have met. Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Shapes faults that are not--that your wisdom yet, Matter against him that for ever mars O, tell me, did you see Aaron the Moor? I cannot, by the progress of the stars, Exposing what is mortal and unsure That rage in savage sensuality. You fight in justice: then, in God's name, lords, And death's dim look in life's mortality: Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Do the low-rated English play at dice; The labour of each knight in his device. MDLXXII - "HEDEARHEARTSPA" Hath turn'd itself on me. Lo, here I lie, Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Dream. Here, here, here be my keys: ascend my Each hath his place and function to attend: And in a dark and dankish vault at home Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Hold unbewail'd their way. Welcome to Rome; Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. And mark my greeting well; for what I speak Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- The strongest body shall it make most weak, Still a-repairing, ever out of frame, Prevail not, go and see: if you can bring A chain, a chain! Do you not hear it ring? MDLXXIII - "RTASTHUSMINEEY" Rescue those breathing lives to die in beds, To cavil in the course of this contract: Ay, all of them at Bristol lost their heads. She is importunate, indeed distract. To shake the head, relent, and sigh, and yield Here could I breathe my soul into the air, Upon the left hand of the even field. Swear nature's death for framing thee so fair. My emperor hath wrote, I must from hence; In limited professions. Rascal thieves, No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Each changing place with that which goes before, You do advance your cunning more and more. MDLXXIV - "ESDUEISTHYOUTW" Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: So longest way shall have the longest moans. Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; I know not, mighty sovereign, but by guess. She wildly breaketh from their strict embrace, Than will preserve just so much strength in us He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge Your provost knows the place where he abides Or here or elsewhere to the furthest verge Upon the beauty of all parts besides, Thy life is dear; for all that life can rate With any long'd-for change or better state. MDLXXV - "ARDPARTANDMYHE" Amongst this princely heap, if any here, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Do grow beneath their shoulders. This to hear Proceed thus rashly to the villain's death, And so to you, Lord Hastings, and to all. Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal. A torch for me: let wantons light of heart Nor never more in Russian habit wait. Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; Might be affronted with the match and weight You never had a servant to whose trust How and which way I may bestow myself England is safe, if true within itself? MDLXXVI - "ARTSRIGHTTHYIN" A third, nor red nor white, had stol'n of both Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Thou shouldst attempt it. Come now, keep thine oath; Say you can swim; alas, 'tis but a while! Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. It were lost sorrow to wail one that's lost. Give me your gloves, I'll wear them for your sake; How often said, my dignity would last The time when screech-owls cry and ban-dogs howl, That holds this present question in the court? Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. Yet once again, to make us public sport, Is lust in action; and till action, lust Now, France, thy glory droopeth to the dust. MDLXXVII - "WARDLOVEOFHEAR" Wave thus, to express his disposition, Ay, if a woman live to be a man. Remember so weak a composition. Do to this body what extremes you can; Let me entreat, for I command no more, On Tuesday noon, or night; on Wednesday morn: Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? End in one purpose, and be all well borne Of these thy compounds on such creatures as Fie, uncle Beaufort! I have heard you preach He needs as many, sir, as Caesar has; Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. And after seem to chide 'em. This shall make Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. MDLXXVIII - "TBETWIXTMINEEY" That have afflictions on them, knowing 'tis Be gone! I will not hear thy vain excuse; Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: This token serveth for a flag of truce When I behold the violet past prime, I would not my unhoused free condition eXception bid him speak, and at this time Truly to speak, and with no addition, Madam, and you, my mother, will you go I know what thorns the growing rose defends; Not of that dye which their investments show, Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Except some petty towns of no import: You shall be welcome, madam, to my court. MDLXXIX - "EANDHEARTALEAG" Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; And put my eyeballs in thy vaulty brows No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: How well resembles it the prime of youth, Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee All my reports go with the modest truth; Regard thy danger, and along with me! The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds As did that one; and that, in my regard, Look to it, lords! let not his smoothing words Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard As loud as thine rattle the welkin's ear Great Agamemnon comes to meet us here. MDLXXX - "UEISTOOKANDEAC" Upon the number'd beach? and can we not Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? I was not born a yielder, thou proud Scot; Sir John, I am thy Pistol and thy friend, The moon into salt tears: the earth's a thief, Of whom so often I have heard renown, O, this will make my mother die with grief! Keep my need up, and faith is trodden down! And to their hope they such odd action yield, Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole Did he so often lodge in open field, Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, As thus, 'I know his father and his friends, Curtsy, sweet hearts; and so the measure ends. MDLXXXI - "HDOTHGOODTURNS" His cocks do win the battle still of mine, Doth noise abroad, Navarre hath made a vow, Or of devotion, to this holy shrine? To cloak offences with a cunning brow. Hath taught us how to cherish such high deeds Grapples you to the heart and love of us, One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, This man hath my consent to marry her. Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! So dear I loved the man, that I must weep. MDLXXXII - "NOWUNTOTHEOTHE" Nay, if you stare, we shall hear more anon. Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest. Which his triumphant father's hand had won; Undaunted spirit in a dying breast! Nature in you stands on the very verge This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Outcast of Naples, England's bloody scourge! That does appear as he were flay'd? O gods How pomp is follow'd! mine will now be yours; Empale him with your weapons round about; O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! Them to their trial-the bubbles are out, Here stands the spring whom you have stain'd with mud, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MDLXXXIII - "RWHENTHATMINEE" Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! When everything is ended, then you come. Here are the heads of thy two noble sons; Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Neglect the visitation of my friends. Thyself, forsooth, hereafter theirs, so far Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's At a few drops of women's rheum, which are To be commenced in strands afar remote. My dreams presage some joyful news at hand: If it be not, then love doth well denote Nay, this way, man: see where the huntsmen stand. Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MDLXXXIV - "YEISFAMISHDFOR" Your voice shall be as strong as any man's Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. I'll beat thee, but I should infect my hands. So shall no foot upon the churchyard tread, Fled from his father, from his hopes, and with An onion will do well for such a shift, My father and Lavinia shall forthwith I'll do thee service for so good a gift. So Lucrece, set a-work, sad tales doth tell Her only fault, and that is faults enough, Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well. For look how fresh she looks! They were too rough O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. MDLXXXV - "ALOOKORHEARTIN" Are weakly fortress'd from a world of harms. Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: Of all exploits since first I follow'd arms, Or live in peace abandon'd and despised! Keep me in patience, and with ripen'd time Or here or elsewhere to the furthest verge Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Are now become enamour'd on his grave. Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, The hands of one, as he thinks, the most brave, Is lust in action; and till action, lust Now, France, thy glory droopeth to the dust. MDLXXXVI - "LOVEWITHSIGHSH" Like to the earth swallow her own increase. Of that I shall have also cause to speak, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Will even weigh, and both as light as tales. I'll prove it on his body, if he dare, Thou canst not fear us, Pompey, with thy sails; Hold, Rosaline, this favour thou shalt wear, Scarce had the sun dried up the dewy morn, I saw their weapons drawn: there was a noise, Gone! they went hence so soon as they were born: He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys She is a woman, therefore to be won. He is my prize; I will not look upon. MDLXXXVII - "IMSELFDOTHSMOT" I cry your honour mercy; you may, worst My brother slew no man; his fault was thought, So mightily betray'd! yet at the first Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Fly not; for shouldst thou take the river Styx, Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes, Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six That, otherwise than noble nature did, He that shall live this day, and see old age, Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? My part is youth, and beats these from the stage: Of Alcibiades the approaches wild, Tybalt, my cousin! O my brother's child! MDLXXXVIII - "HERWITHMYLOVES" Hear from me still, and never of me aught Except some petty towns of no import: Remember me at court; where I was taught When they change us for others? Is it sport? I will not rise, unless your highness grant. Thou coward, art thou bragging to the stars, He shall do this, or else I do recant Matter against him that for ever mars You are transported by calamity Let each man render me his bloody hand: Of our restored love and amity. Virtue he had, deserving to command: Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Sir, 'tis my occupation to be plain. MDLXXXIX - "PICTURETHENMYE" Patience is scottish, and impatience does I have been closely shrouded in this bush Cool and congeal again to what it was. To laugh at gibing boys and stand the push Upon my target three fair-shining suns. Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; That overtopp'd them all. Betray'd I am: Help! help, ho! help! O lady, speak again! Envy your great deservings and good name, Nature should be so conversant with pain, My message must return from whence it came. Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MDXC - "YEDOTHFEASTAND" You may behold confusion of your foes. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Deny your asking: take your choice of those Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: He'll make demand of her, and spend that kiss For nothing but his majesty's approach. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. And therefore think him as a serpent's egg Speak, Salisbury; at least, if thou canst speak: That he could nothing do but wish and beg And that we find the slothful watch but weak, Not to be pardon'd, am content withal. Dukes, earls, lords, gentlemen; indeed, of all. MDXCI - "TOTHEPAINTEDBA" They are the issue of your loins, my liege, Of great Northumberland, whose bosom burns The walls they'll tear down than forsake the siege. He's walking in the garden--thus; and spurns Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Promises boys hereafter. Sir, your queen Are they that I would have thee deal upon: I mean the Earl of Wiltshire, Bushy, Green. No more pains for those thanks than you took pains That day that made my sister thirteen years. Endue you with the people's voice: remains Distasted with the salt of broken tears. But to himself so secret and so close, Accursed be he that seeks to make them foes! MDXCII - "NQUETBIDSMYHEA" No touch of bashfulness? What, will you tear Quit all offences with as clear excuse Unclaim'd of any man. But who comes here? Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Turn all to the best! These proclamations, Beauty itself doth of itself persuade I know they are stuff'd with protestations Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid So hot a speed with such advice disposed, Might thus have stood begetting wonder as You are the king King Edward hath deposed; Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And Somerset another goodly mast? MDXCIII - "RTANOTHERTIMEM" Revenue, execution of the rest, Thus once again says Nestor from the Greeks: A name that in my thoughts becomes me best, Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks, Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid? Traitors ensteep'd to clog the guiltless keel,-- Here is your hand and seal for what I did. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. To keep the horsemen off from breaking in. I have not sought the day of this dislike. My arms such eel-skins stuff'd, my face so thin Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Mistake me not; I speak but as I find. MDXCIV - "INEEYEISMYHEAR" I would I had; so I had broke thy pate, Now, trust me, 'tis an office of great worth Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Extorted treasure in the womb of earth You do unbend your noble strength, to think Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: I see things too, although you judge I wink. Spoke like a tail fellow that respects his May make a peaceful and a sweet retire Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, Envy the great nor do the low despise. Ay, madam, but returns again to-night. Richly in both, if justice had her right. MDXCV - "TSGUESTANDINHI" To show itself but pride, for supple knees Shotten herring. There live not three good men Give us kind keepers, heavens! What were these? Under the tide: but now I breathe again Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, This is my servant: hear him, noble prince. As they fly by them with their woven wings. No, when my father York and Edward wept, Dispersed are the glories it included. In sooth, good friend, your father might have kept Nay, I assure you, a peace concluded. He has borne all things well: and I do think I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink. MDXCVI - "STHOUGHTSOFLOV" Some devil whisper curses in mine ear, That as it more concerns the Turk than Rhodes, Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads Upon his compass'd crest now stand on end; Gramercies, lad. Go forward; this contents; Haste, signify so much; while we attend, Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp'st intents, Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Firm and irrevocable is my doom Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. Observe degree, priority and place, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. MDXCVII - "EDOTHSHAREAPAR" Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Or half her worthiness that gave the ring, There was not such a gracious creature born. Her father and her country and her friends, See, they encounter thee with their hearts' thanks. Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's And of his friends there, it is lots to blanks, Rome will despise her for this foul escape. Environed with all these hideous fears? And treats of Tereus' treason and his rape: Peace, tender sapling; thou art made of tears, And whilst a field should be dispatch'd and fought, Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MDXCVIII - "TSOEITHERBYTHY" Too slightly timber'd for so loud a wind, Shall outstrike thought: but thought will do't, I feel. O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: I would have broke mine eye-strings; crack'd them, but The present money to discharge the Jew, Hath doubtfully pronounced thy throat shall cut, Engenders the black toad and adder blue, Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Bear with me cousin, for I was amazed You that will follow me to this attempt, Then Troilus should have too much: if she praised Had falsely thrust upon contrary feet, Your greatest want is, you want much of meat. MDXCIX - "PICTUREORMYLOV" Play with his locks: then would Adonis weep; I love thee not, therefore pursue me not. Cricket, to Windsor chimneys shalt thou leap: To lie in cold obstruction and to rot; Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Except a sword or sceptre balance it: O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Make motion through my lips, and my arm'd knees, Yourself again after yourself's decease, Last, and as much containing as all these, Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? MDC - "ETHYSELFAWAYAR" Endue you with the people's voice: remains To hear the replication of your sounds How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains, You show'd your teeth like apes, and fawn'd like hounds, Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough: Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff For this affliction has a taste as sweet Ay, but thou canst do what I mean to ask. Where one but goes abreast: keep then the path; And stain my favours in a bloody mask, You were conducted to a gentle bath An onion will do well for such a shift, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. MDCI - "TRESENTSTILLWI" Thee thither in a whirlwind. If thou wilt, Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, England shall double gild his treble guilt; Sit, sit. The gods require our thanks. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. The old bees die, the young possess their hive: So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, To critic and to flatterer stopped are. I will not have it so: lie down, good sirs; Like to a dismal clangour heard from far, Lust and rank thoughts, hers, hers; revenges, hers; Wherein they say you shine, Your sum of parts I'll make you quiet. What, cheerly, my hearts! MDCII - "THMEFORTHOUNOT" Than you expect: unseal this letter soon; How came the noble Timon to this change? My advocation is not now in tune; Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange For if the Jew do cut but deep enough, Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, That as it more concerns the Turk than Rhodes, His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Of King Polixenes, it should here be laid, Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, No bargains break that are not this day made: O, let me suffer, being at your beck, That men must lay their murders on your neck. MDCIII - "FARTHERTHANMYT" Fell gently down, as if they struck their friends. As any ear can hear. Come, let's not weep. Return, return, and make thy love amends. That thus we die, while remiss traitors sleep. Her arms do lend his neck a sweet embrace; Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Rancour will out: proud prelate, in thy face That brought her for this high good turn so far? How can she be with him? When was she missed? As touching France, to give a greater sum Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, My sword, I say! Old Montague is come, You shall outlive the lady whom you serve. To foster it, nor ever to preserve. MDCIV - "HOUGHTSCANSTMO" Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones O then, belike, you fancy riches more: Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Good traders in the flesh, set this in your Hadst thou but shook thy head or made a pause The midwife wonder'd and the women cried So to enforce or qualify the laws Come not near him. If thou wouldst not reside A canopy most fatal, under which Now mark him, he begins again to speak. Shall gild her bridal bed and make her rich This blended knight, half Trojan and half Greek. Methinks, should not be chronicled for wise. O, how her fear did make her colour rise! MDCV - "VEANDIAMSTILLW" Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Exposing what is mortal and unsure And kneel for grace and mercy at my feet; None in the world: you did mistake him, sure. Distinctly speak of her; though I may fear I would not thy good deeds should from my lips And then the king will court thee for his dear; Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse She had her breeding at my father's charge. To the ambassadors of England gives I have inform'd his highness so at large Like an old tale: but it appears she lives, Love? his affections do not that way tend; Whom thou wert sworn to cherish and defend. MDCVI - "ITHTHEMANDTHEY" It provokes the desire, but it takes Therefore at last I firmly am resolved Had you not been their father, these white flakes To make confession and to be absolved. Hath set the women on to this complaint: Except some petty towns of no import: My sable ground of sin I will not paint, A young and learned doctor to our court. Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Yes, and will nobly him remunerate. MDCVII - "WITHTHEEORIFTH" When Proteus cannot love where he's beloved. I and ten thousand in this luckless realm That noble honour'd lord, is fear'd and loved? He dreamt to-night the boar had razed his helm: They shall be praying nuns, not weeping queens; Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Envied against the people, seeking means Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Indeed, I never shall be satisfied For how can tyrants safely govern home, The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge How much thou wrong'st me, heaven be my judge. MDCVIII - "EYSLEEPTHYPICT" Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Yet could I bear that too; well, very well: Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell Each changing place with that which goes before, Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Pure Chastity is rifled of her store, To souse annoyance that comes near his nest. Here's a good world the while! Why who's so gross, Your honours shall perceive how I will work Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close In faith, I gave it to the judge's clerk: Can scarce entreat you to be odd with him. That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. MDCIX - "UREINMYSIGHTAW" Upon mine honour, thou shalt marry her. Rome, be as just and gracious unto me Either to die the death or to abjure I am his king, and he should bow his knee; Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. My love till death, my humble thanks, my prayers; You follow the young Prince up and down, like Sunshine and rain at once: her smiles and tears Is to make midnight mushrooms, that rejoice Good Lord, what madness rules in brainsick men, Her eyes, her hair, her cheek, her gait, her voice, That makes the wappen'd widow wed again; Alas, I am the mother of these moans! Whose hollow womb inherits nought but bones. MDCX - "AKESMYHEARTTOH" All the commerce that you have had with Troy Keep still possession of thy gloomy place, Each opposite that blanks the face of joy See how the blood is settled in his face. Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Here to have death in peace is all he'll crave. Exampled by the first pace that is sick And such high vaunts of his nobility, Reward did threaten and encourage him, That, from the sense of all civility, They come like sacrifices in their trim, O my good lord, that comfort comes too late; Here comes the almanac of my true date. MDCXI - "EARTSANDEYESDE" Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Razing the characters of your renown, The action of their bodies from their souls; Say that before Ascension-day at noon And all combined, save what thou must combine Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Death of thy soul! those linen cheeks of thine Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, You speak, Lord Mowbray, now you know not what. Edward and Richard, you shall stay with me; Soul!' and forgave him with all their hearts: but During the life, let us not wrong it dead. Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MDCXII - "LIGHTHOWCAREFU" Lewis, determine what we shall do straight. I long to know the truth hereof at large. Great Juno, comes; I know her by her gait. Have by some surgeon, Shylock, on your charge, To furnish me with some swift means of death Here one man's hand lean'd on another's head, Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath We should profane the service of the dead Confound your hidden falsehood, and award And that to the infection of my brains Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Endue you with the people's voice: remains Fortunes: his grace hath made the match, and an Unseemly woman in a seeming man! MDCXIII - "LWASIWHENITOOK" Like true, inseparable, faithful loves, What is the issue of the business there. And yet not so; since I am sure my love's Surfeits, imposthumes, grief, and damn'd despair, Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; Without much shame retold or spoken of. How like you this wild counsel, mighty states? Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. None but that ugly treason of mistrust, I did not bid you mar it to the time. They would not pity me, yet plead I must; Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Or any groat I hoarded to my use, Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? MDCXIV - "MYWAYEACHTRIFL" My love admits no qualifying dross; You are deceived, my substance is not here; Which would be worn now in their newest gloss, A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear Your stinking greasy caps in hooting at Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet And by my friends, I am abused: so that, Cut me to pieces with thy keen conceit; Having his ear full of his airy fame, That floated with thee on the fatal raft? Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, For such a one we show'd 'em: if they smile, Love, lend me patience to forbear awhile. MDCXV - "EUNDERTRUESTBA" Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Uneath may she endure the flinty streets, Not wagging his sweet head; and yet as rough, Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send The baby figure of the giant mass Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Unless she do it under this excuse, England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, Some necessaries that I needs must use, That swift as quicksilver it courses through But come, I'll tell thee all my whole device And for his safety there I'll best devise. MDCXVI - "RSTOTHRUSTTHAT" Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills So may a thousand actions, once afoot. The fishes spread on it their golden gills; Of all the world I loved and to him put The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Have done thy charm, thou hateful wither'd hag! Raise up the Montagues: some others search: Until my eyelids will no longer wag. So will I turn her virtue into pitch, The offer of an hundred thousand crowns To kill us here in Hampton: to the which Have we not lost most part of all the towns, And know us by these colours for thy foes, This was my dream: what it doth bode, God knows. MDCXVII - "TOMYUSEITMIGHT" The wonder is, he hath endur'd so long. Or senseless speaking or a speaking such Mine shall not do his Julia so much wrong. Your lecture shall have leisure for as much. Under this conjuration, speak, my lord; Sacrifice: where air comes out, air comes in: Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; If you do hold the same intent wherein That it may enter Mowbray's waxen coat, My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. If it be not, then love doth well denote Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw. His glassy essence, like an angry ape, The happy tidings of his good escape. MDCXVIII - "UNUSEDSTAYFROM" Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Needs not the painted flourish of your praise: Upon my death the French can little boast; Shall it for shame be spoken in these days, Else would he never so demean himself. Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. Some patient leisure to excuse myself. The sad-eyed justice, with his surly hum, Another flap-mouth'd mourner, black and grim, Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; For, in my mind, you are much bound to him. Rather than make unprofited return. O Buckingham, now do I play the touch, Much is your sorrow; mine ten times so much. MDCXIX - "HANDSOFFALSEHO" How often said, my dignity would last And, by device, let blockish Ajax draw Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast? Did, as a prophet, weep what it foresaw Such as seafaring men provide for storms; Or with a little shuffling, you may choose Full of strange shapes, of habits and of forms, For more uneven and unwelcome news Ay, what of that? it was my will and grant; Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word Stand by me, Lucius; do not fear thine aunt. Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Hath to the marbled mansion all above Out of her favour, where I am in love. MDCXX - "ODINSUREWARDSO" Of thrice three times the value of this bond. Depart again: here, here will I remain In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, Now fear I this will give it start again; Such is the fulness of my heart's content. Usurers' men! bawds between gold and want! Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Each cheek a river running from a fount While we pursued the horsemen of the north, Ay; you did wish that I would make her turn: Receive it friendly; but from this time forth Disguise us at my lodging and return, Sweet York, be patient. Hear me, gentle liege. Of horsemen, that were levied for this siege! MDCXXI - "FTRUSTBUTTHOUT" For, I am sure, you have your hands full all, To weigh how once I suffered in your crime. Remember whom you are to cope withal; Upon a desperate bed, and in a time So may the outward shows be least themselves: The shady curtains from Aurora's bed, Beating your officers, cursing yourselves, Unto the commons whom thou hast misled; Time shall unfold what plighted cunning hides. The King shall drink to Hamlet's better breath, How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, O, let me pray before I take my death! Us friends; I will pursue the amity. To bear the tidings of calamity. MDCXXII - "OWHOMMYJEWELST" Of those that turn'd their backs, and in his flight, Which is so plain that Exeter doth wish Hath Britain all the sun that shines? Day, night, Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Making them proud of his humility, My body shall make good upon this earth, Your worth, your greatness and nobility. Just and upright; and, for your royal birth, England we love; and for that England's sake Which is infallible, to England's crown. Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Leave wringing of your hands. Peace! sit you down Soft infancy, that nothing canst but cry, That calls me traitor, I return the lie. MDCXXIII - "RIFLESAREMOSTW" Robs the vast sea: the moon's an arrant thief, I am content that he shall take the odds For nothing had begot my something grief; Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Since I have ever follow'd thee with hate, Abound, as thick as thought could make 'em, and Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Even like a man new haled from the rack, My heart hath melted at a lady's tears, Or lay on that shall make your shoulders crack. Shook off my sober guards and civil fears; There's places of rebuke. He was a fool; Where is thy leather apron and thy rule? MDCXXIV - "ORTHYOFCOMFORT" O, let me teach thee! for my father's sake, Richard, that robb'd the lion of his heart The elements be kind to thee, and make Have studied physic, through which secret art, You that look pale and tremble at this chance, O, coward that I am, to live so long, For ever should they be expulsed from France Come, now a roundel and a fairy song; Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Made wit with musing weak, heart sick with thought. Foster'd, illumined, cherish'd, kept alive. O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught, Resolvedly more leisure shall express: To voice him consul: lay the fault on us. MDCXXV - "NOWMYGREATESTG" No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Which I beseech your highness to forgive, My love shall in my verse ever live young. You shall not go: one cannot speak a word, Grows wide withal. Perhaps he loves you now, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. And stop the rising of blood-sucking sighs, There is no world without Verona walls, Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, Them may have crook'd noses, but to owe such God's light, with two points on your shoulder? Much! MDCXXVI - "RIEFTHOUBESTOF" Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! I know I love in vain, strive against hope; Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. From this my hand, as holding of the pope To whom you are but as a form in wax Hang up your ensign, let your drums be still, Or hew my way out with a bloody axe. Up Fish Street! down Saint Magnus' Corner! Kill But then renew I could not, like the moon; Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Some means to come to shrift this afternoon; That know the strong'st and surest way to get. Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! MDCXXVII - "DEARESTANDMINE" Desire them an to my pavilion. End in one purpose, and be all well borne And fertile every wish, a million. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, She says, you have it, and you may be gone. Through Night's black bosom should not peep again: And there it is in writing fairly drawn. No, 'tis impossible he should escape, Darest with thy frozen admonition Madam, an if my brother had my shape, I would not my unhoused free condition Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Except it be to pray against thy foes. MDCXXVIII - "ONLYCAREARTLEF" O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, Lo, here, this long-usurped royalty Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, Come, come, beshrew your heart! you'll ne'er be good, And she is mine, and all my right of her Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Either to die the death or to abjure A wither'd branch, that's only green at top; Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid That wildly grows in them, but yields a crop Let him depart; his passport shall be made Except it be to pray against thy foes. For I have bought it with an hundred blows. MDCXXIX - "TTHEPREYOFEVER" This week he hath been heavy, sour, sad, They come like sacrifices in their trim, How say you now? is not your husband mad? Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. Pluck their hearts from them. Not to-day, O Lord, Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Yet in the trial much opinion dwells; Of her or you, having proceeded but For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Even so void is your false heart of truth. Remains in danger of her former tooth. MDCXXX - "YVULGARTHIEFTH" You press me far, and therefore I will yield. Visit the speechless sick and still converse Upon the left hand of the even field. Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Give me superfluous death. A noise within. Ay, sir; but she will none, she gives you thanks. Reward to him that brings the traitor in? To crouch in litter of your stable planks, How I came by the crown, O God, forgive; I am most joyful, madam, such good dreams Even for this let us divided live, Free lords, cold snow melts with the sun's hot beams. Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive How many years a mortal man may live. MDCXXXI - "EEHAVEINOTLOCK" Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, As did that one; and that, in my regard, Visit the speechless sick and still converse Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. If honour may be shrouded in a hearse, No higher than thyself; the judge's clerk, Or I would see his heart out, ere the priest Those eyes of thine from mine have drawn salt tears, Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Or any air of music touch their ears, Christ's mother helps me, else I were too weak. Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. MDCXXXII - "DUPINANYCHESTS" Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Under the lordly monarch of the north, Prevail not, go and see: if you can bring In hewing Rutland when his leaves put forth, Now do I long to hear how you were found; As, not to see a woman in that term, No man so potent breathes upon the ground Yet their own authors faithfully affirm Came pouring, like the tide into a breach, How hast thou injured both thyself and us! Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Sit, worthy friends: my lord is often thus, Then goes he to the length of all his arm, She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. MDCXXXIII - "AVEWHERETHOUAR" Ay, as the rocks cheer them that fear their wreck: Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. Each in his office ready at thy beck. While we pursued the horsemen of the north, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, The raven rook'd her on the chimney's top, Here is my hand; the premises observed, Open your ears; for which of you will stop Upon his peril, that I have reserved And yet the king not privy to my drift, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. MDCXXXIV - "TNOTTHOUGHIFEE" The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn Not pocket up wrong: art thou not ashamed? O, from thy cheeks my image thou hast torn, That he is grown so great? Age, thou art shamed! They know their master loves to be aloft, He pours it out; Plutus, the god of gold, O, yes; and went between us very oft. Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Go forth, Agrippa, and begin the fight: His spell in that is out: the king hath found I'll take it from thee; and, good boy, good night. Full thirty times hath Phoebus' cart gone round Each jealous of the other, as the stung Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MDCXXXV - "LTHOUARTWITHIN" Look, when he fawns, he bites; and when he bites, The castle of Macduff I will surprise; Hang mournful epitaphs and do all rites On this sad shadow Lucrece spends her eyes, Upon the heavy middle of the night And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings. Richly in both, if justice had her right. To join like likes and kiss like native things. Where doth the world thrust forth a vanity-- Into so quiet and so sweet a style. That I should seem to lack humanity He's scarce awake. Let him alone awhile. If it be true, all vengeance comes too short Naming thy name blesses an ill report. MDCXXXVI - "THEGENTLECLOSU" They clip us drunkards and with swinish phrase He will be here, and yet he is not here: Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Good sir, why do you start; and seem to fear Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; No, I protest, I know not the contents; The prince my brother hath outgrown me far. Liege of all loiterers and malcontents, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Compassion on the king commands me stoop; Let me be no assistant for a state, O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Sharp misery had worn him to the bones: Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? MDCXXXVII - "REOFMYBREASTFR" Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish For do but note a wild and wanton herd, Music, ho! music, such as charmeth sleep! Yourself again after yourself's decease, But thou shouldst please me better, wouldst thou weep. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard And my estate deserves an heir more raised Strangely neglected? when did he regard Than what befalls myself. You stand amazed; For standing by when Richard stabb'd her son. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. MDCXXXVIII - "OMWHENCEATPLEA" Once more we sit in England's royal throne, My fortunes to your service, which are here Without a tongue, using conceit alone, He hath no friends but who are friends for fear. Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? No word like 'pardon' for kings' mouths so meet. Can be at once, shall step by step attend Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet And be thy wife--if any be so mad-- There shalt thou find the mariners asleep Past reason hunted, and no sooner had Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, And bears his thoughts above his falcon's pitch. MDCXXXIX - "SURETHOUMAYSTC" Saint Lawrence Poultney, did of me demand Unless she do it under this excuse, Regard me as I do not flatter, and Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Thy noble shape is but a form of wax, Hath brought me to thy hearth; not out of hope-- Or hew my way out with a bloody axe. Upon your stubborn usage of the pope; My lord, I aim a mile beyond the moon; And, as occasion serves, this noble queen You sent me for a rope's end as soon: Such things as might offend the weakest spleen The need we have to use you did provoke Cowardly fled, not having struck one stroke. MDCXL - "OMEANDPARTANDE" O, yes, I saw sweet beauty in her face, My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: Extinguishing his conduct in this case; At Rhodes, at Cyprus and on other grounds Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Defiance, traitors, hurl we in your teeth: Plantagenet shall speak first: hear him, lords; And yet not so, for what can we bequeath Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them To raise my state to title of a queen, As worthy cause I have to fear I am-- Never can blab, nor know not what we mean. Deposed his nephew Richard, Edward's son, Expecting in return twenty for one? MDCXLI - "VENTHENCETHOUW" Verona, for a while I take my leave, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: No more that thane of Cawdor shall deceive That shake me thus. Pish! Noses, ears, and lips. How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? Confess'd the vile encounters they have had Except it be to pray against thy foes. They come like sacrifices in their trim, Had the full view of, such a noise arose Of Salisbury, who can report of him, Under the tide: but now I breathe again With tears, which, chorus-like, her eyes did rain. MDCXLII - "ILTBESTOLNIFEA" I know I love in vain, strive against hope; Let's have your company, or, if you please, Though palaces and pyramids do slope Before the curing of a strong disease, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, They did conclude to bear dead Lucrece thence; Out of my lean and low ability Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, Nay, answer me. Stand and unfold yourself. I and ten thousand in this luckless realm For she is sweeter than perfume itself Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. And not be Richard that hath done all this. MDCXLIII - "RFORTRUTHPROVE" Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! O Clifford, but bethink thee once again, Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! That nightly lie in those unproper beds Rome will despise her for this foul escape. Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads? The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape, Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad Proffers not took reap thanks for their reward. Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. Oppos'd against the act, bending his sword Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else you may be marvellously mistook. MDCXLIV - "STHIEVISHFORAP" She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. Thinking that I mean him, but therein suits His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm Iron may hold with her, but never lutes. England we love; and for that England's sake Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. In vaults and prisons, and to thrill and shake See where she comes from shrift with merry look. Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! For no name fits thy nature but thy own! Of heavy Pericles; think this his bark: Return'd my letter back. Then all alone A shadow like an angel, with bright hair Please you draw near. Louder the music there! MDCXLV - "RIZESODEARAGAI" Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Is writ in moods and frowns and wrinkles strange, Zounds, he dies: I had forgot the reward. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange So, now go tell, an if thy tongue can speak, Only make trial what your love can do Delay this marriage for a month, a week; Engenders the black toad and adder blue, And let them grapple: O, the blood more stirs Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs, Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is most dear, And all Europa shall rejoice at thee, If happy England's royal king be free. MDCXLVI - "NSTTHATTIMEIFE" No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Sufficeth not that we are brought to Rome, To hear and see her plaints, her brinish tears. The advised head defends itself at home; He well may be a stranger, for he comes A piece of work that will make sick men whole. The interruption of their churlish drums To see how inly sorrow gripes his soul. Is wander'd forth, in care to seek me out Mine, twice or thrice in that last article. Empale him with your weapons round about; If he do break the smallest particle Few words, but, to effect, more than all yet: Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MDCXLVII - "VERTHATTIMECOM" Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Richard the second here was hack'd to death; That may repeat and history his los Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with And loves not me, be you, good lord, assured Take leave and part; for you must part forthwith. To think their dolour others have endured. I was of late as petty to his ends More worth than any man; men, that she is Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Ca, ha! he bounds from the earth, as if his O, now I want the priest that spake to me: Much danger do I undergo for thee. MDCXLVIII - "EWHENISHALLSEE" Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, With hearts create of duty and of zeal. How fine my master is! I am afraid Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Nor lose the good advantage of his grace Increase your services; so seem as if Set him before me; let me see his face. Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff; A time before we came unto this cell? Lusty and like to live: the queen receives Let Neptune hear we bid a loud farewell See, brother, see; note how she quotes the leaves. Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MDCXLIX - "THEEFROWNONMYD" Therefore, have done: some grief shows much of love; High sparks of honour in thee have I seen. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. For well I wot the empress never wags Run to my study. By and by! God's will, Or tie my treasure up in silken bags, Whilst I have gold, I'll be his steward still. Not to be gone from hence; for once I read Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit, Now does my project gather to a head: My honour's at the stake; which to defeat, Yet then my judgment knew no reason why Do you perceive the gastness of her eye? MDCL - "EFECTSWHENASTH" Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought France friend with England, what becomes of me? Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Content thee, prince; I will restore to thee Than what befalls myself. You stand amazed; Should of another therefore be abused! Whereon with fearful eyes they long have gazed, How were they lost? what treachery was used? Exist, and be a member of his love Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, A little joy enjoys the queen thereof; Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Than when she lived indeed; then shall he mourn, His nurse! why, she was dead ere thou wert born. MDCLI - "YLOVEHATHCASTH" Yes, but you will my noble grapes, an if Look, whom she best endow'd she gave the more; Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Ere twice in murk and occidental damp Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? And fell below his stem: his sword, death's stamp, This do, and do it kindly, gentle sirs; Her earnest eye did make him more amazed: Catch in their fury and make nothing of; And, blushing with him, wistly on him gazed; Stray'd his affection in unlawful love? Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive How many years a mortal man may live. MDCLII - "ISUTMOSTSUMCAL" I do beseech you, either not believe Straight marry her: to this her mother's plot Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave That I, forsooth, am stern, and love them not? My liege! my lord! but now a king, now thus. Of spirit, Life, and bold audacity. Stand where the torch may not discover us. That, notwithstanding thy capacity Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Marking the embarked traders on the flood, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Away with Oxford to Hames Castle straight: Last longer telling than thy kindness' date. MDCLIII - "LDTOTHATAUDITB" Let it suffice thee that I trust thee not. Deal between thee and me! for even now That ever-valiant and approved Scot, Or durst inhabit on a living brow; Then Warwick disannuls great John of Gaunt, Hence ever then my heart is in thy breast. Although, my lord, I know my noble aunt Then to your offices and let me rest. And live the purer with the other half, Under your testy humour? By the gods Did gage them both in an unjust behalf, I am content that he shall take the odds The cause of his arrival here in arms: But cheerly seek how to redress their harms. MDCLIV - "YADVISEDRESPEC" You suddenly arose, and walk'd about, And mine that I was proud on, mine so much Dreading the curse that money may buy out; Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, Show me your image in some antique book, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Damn'd in the first beginners!--gan to look Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Saw'st thou him enter at the abbey here? Pinched with the colic, you make faces like Every man shift for all the rest, and Casca, you are the first that rears your hand. MDCLV - "TSAGAINSTTHATT" They say, she hath abjured the company Sets down her babe and makes an swift dispatch And shall, or him we will accompany. Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach. A sea of melting pearl, which some call tears: I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up To bar my master's heirs in true descent, Thou shalt be both the plaintiff and the judge How can my Muse want subject to invent, And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? This is his tent; and see where stand his guard. The king is full of grace and fair regard. MDCLVI - "IMEWHENTHOUSHA" I have almost forgot the taste of fears; My mind will never grant what I perceive Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Which, though I will not practise to deceive, Have we not lost most part of all the towns, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, The primogenitive and due of birth, Her stand she takes upon a steep-up hill: Or is the adder better than the eel Urging the worser sense for vantage still; Such comfort as do lusty young men feel How he did shake: 'tis true, this god did shake; All this away and me most wretched make. MDCLVII - "LTSTRANGELYPAS" Lead on to some foul issue: we all kneel. To quit the fine for one half of his goods, Shall more obey than to the edge of steel Than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Are made already mothers: by my count, Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, Great Lord of Warwick, if we should recount Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Lest my brain turn, and the deficient sight Your mother was most true to wedlock, prince; Prodigious, and untimely brought to light, Are his wits safe? is he not light of brain? Speak, captain, shall I stab the forlorn swain? MDCLVIII - "SANDSCARCELYGR" Stay we no longer, dreaming of renown, And make some pretty match with shedding tears? Now will we take some order in the town, Decrease not, but grow faster than the years: She whispers in his ears a heavy tale, Come from the north; and as I came along And what these sorrows could not thence exhale, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Come, come; for thou shalt thrust thy hand as deep Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; Yet there's as little justice as at land: Good night- but go not to my uncle's bed. Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. MDCLIX - "EETMEWITHTHATS" Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Else shall you not have any hand at all Too deep and dead, poor infants, in their grave. Madam, it is, so you stand pleased withal. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Which I so lively acted with my tears It hath been taught us from the primal state, To tell them that this world did equal theirs His corrigible neck, his face subdued Their own enactures with themselves destroy. Her elder sister is so curst and shrewd A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy. There's matter in these sighs. These profound heaves See, brother, see; note how she quotes the leaves. MDCLX - "UNTHINEEYEWHEN" Under these windows, white and azure laced Not prizing her poor infant's discontent; Take this of me: Lucrece was not more chaste He did behave his anger, ere 'twas spent, I ken the wight: he is of substance good. None else to me, nor I to none alive, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Even for this let us divided live, You have a double tongue within your mask, Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Why such impress of shipwrights, whose sore task He is but one: you and my brother search Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! MDCLXI - "LOVECONVERTEDF" Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Other course you please, which the time shall more Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Each changing place with that which goes before, Come on, I say; and first begin with her. O, that record could with a backward look, Nor, I'll assure you, better taken, sir. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Exampled by the first pace that is sick Remove your siege from my unyielding heart; That smiles his cheek in years and knows the trick Each one demand an answer to his part Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? For his foul act by whom thy fair wife bleeds? MDCLXII - "ROMTHETHINGITW" Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Of Coeur-de-lion knighted in the field. Methought I had; and often did I strive To wisdom he's a fool that will not yield; Have robb'd my strong-knit sinews of their strength, Each changing place with that which goes before, This likes me well. These foils have all a length? He doth again repeat, and that they swore. I know it well, my Lord; and, sure, the match Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach. I lost my liberty and they their lives. Thou naughty gaoler, that thou art so fond Which here appeareth due upon the bond. MDCLXIII - "ASSHALLREASONS" At Pembroke, or at Harford-west, in Wales. Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails, He might have bought me at a common price: Although the kite soar with unbloodied beak? Left and abandoned of his velvet friends: Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. Return, return, and make thy love amends. Either of you to be the other's end. Away with him! and make a fire straight; Say that she be; yet Valentine thy friend O, but with mine compare thou thine own state, Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Such pity as my rapier's point affords. MDCLXIV - "FINDOFSETTLEDG" For as a surfeit of the sweetest things I fear, a madness held me: this must crave, No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Over one shoulder doth she hang her head; France is revolted from the English quite, Such fear so grew in me, I hither fled, Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, To take in many towns ere almost Rome Too headstrong for their mother. See, we fools! Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? Either they must be dieted like mules Dispose of them, of me; the walls are thine. Give me your hand and say you will be mine. MDCLXV - "RAVITYAGAINSTT" Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, And made what work I pleased: 'tis not my blood Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, That rheumatic diseases do abound: You know the lady; she is fast my wife, A maid of Dian's this advantage found, Great king, I am no strumpet, by my life; Adopts thee heir, and his high sceptre yields I sent you money, sir, to be your bail, Nor more shall trenching war channel her fields, She that in wisdom never was so frail To stop the inundation of her tears; The misery of Tarsus may be theirs. MDCLXVI - "HATTIMEDOIENSC" How now! what means death in this rude assault? And you, Achilles, let these threats alone, The worships of their name.- O most small fault, The execution of it shall make known. I should fight withal, if he be alive. My necessaries are embark'd. Farewell. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Disdainful to be tried by't: 'tis not well. Of what conditions we shall stand upon? Is writ in moods and frowns and wrinkles strange, Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: So much I love his heart: but, I perceive, Comfort, my lord; and so I take my leave. MDCLXVII - "ONCEMEHEREWITH" O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: Come, go: I will fall prostrate at his feet Either of king or council, when you went Must we pursue, and I have found the path. Except thou wilt except against my love. Horns, Master Brook: and, Master Brook, he hath Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, England, impatient of your just demands, Which we will second. When he lies along, If Salisbury wants mercy at thy hands! To banish him that struck more blows for Rome Hamlet return'd shall know you are come home. MDCLXVIII - "INTHEKNOWLEDGE" In conflict that you get the sun of them. Now in his life, against your holy oath? The inhospitable Cleon; but I am Have chid me from the battle; swearing both Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild; Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, O child! O child! my soul, and not my child! Where is the duke? 'tis he should hear me speak. Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? God and his angels guard your sacred throne Enough to purchase what you have made known. MDCLXIX - "OFMINEOWNDESER" Of that which hath so faithfully been paid. For Doll is in. Pistol speaks nought but truth. My queen and son are gone to France for aid; I see by you I am a sweet-faced youth. Never was monarch better fear'd and loved Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Of that same noble prelate, well beloved, With a disdainful youth: anoint his eyes; Now can I break my fast, dine, sup and sleep, Disprove this villain, if thou be'st a man: Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Strike sooner than speak, and speak sooner than Establish him in his true sense again, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. MDCLXX - "TANDTHISMYHAND" Tell me whereon the likelihood depends. And I have horse will follow where the game Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, Deny thy father and refuse thy name; That creep into the dreaming bridegroom's ear, Him, though removed fifty times, shall all come In weeping after this untimely bier. Seal up your lips, and give no words but mum: Methinks the truth should live from age to age, You wrong me more, sir, in denying it: Hath made her break out into terms of rage! And shows the ragged entrails of the pit: No point, quoth I; my servant straight was mute. Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? MDCLXXI - "AGAINSTMYSELFU" As shore of rock. Attend. This holy fox, Good Lord, what madness rules in brainsick men, Alas, the sea hath cast me on the rocks, I pray thee, let me look on that again. Now, by my father's badge, old Nevil's crest, She bids me think how I have been forsworn To set a form upon that indigest Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn, You told how Diomed, a whole week by days, She that would be your wife now ran from you. Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Look what I speak, or do, or think to do, For your good host. Pray that the right may thrive. Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. MDCLXXII - "PREARTOGUARDTH" Perform'd in this wide gap of time since first Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus, Rankly abus'd.

MDCLXXIII - "ELAWFULREASONS" Exposing what is mortal and unsure Lest I surcease to honour mine own truth Amongst the loving Welshmen canst procure, Who, falling in the flaws of her own youth, For he hath still been tried a holy man. Unwilling I agreed. Alas! too soon, Love loving not itself none other can. Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Each present lord began to promise aid, And the device he bears upon his shield Sir, give him head; I know he'll prove a jade. Or bide the mortal fortune of the field? Nor moody beggars, starving for a time Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. MDCLXXIV - "ONTHYPARTTOLEA" Of bloody turbulence, and this whole night Nothing so sure; and thereby all forsworn. This ship-boy's semblance hath disguised me quite.

MDCLXXV - "VEPOORMETHOUHA" Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Pure Chastity is rifled of her store, O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! Off with his head, and set it on York gates; Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, Meet in one line; and vast confusion waits, Establish him in his true sense again, To make a more requital to your love! How blow? how blow? speak to be understood. Of thee and me, and sighs, and takes my glove, Upon his bad life to make all this good, He that had wit would think that I had none, And therein, hellish dog, thou hast undone. MDCLXXVI - "STTHESTRENGTHO" Show me, my women, like a queen: go fetch The yearly course that brings this day about The contract you pretend with that base wretch, Her inclination, let him not leave out Ere I could make thee open thy white hand So far in blood that sin will pluck on sin: The swiftest harts have posted you by land; Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes Good sometime queen, prepare thee hence for France: The violence of either thee becomes, Had I brought hither a corrupted mind, O, do not slander him, for he is kind. MDCLXXVII - "FLAWSSINCEWHYT" For terror, not to use, in time the rod Look thee, 'tis so! Thou singly honest man, And when he heard him swear and vow to God Was the first motive that I woo'd thee, Anne: Stand like the forfeits in a barber's shop, Safety: you have been a great thief by sea. I must be brief, lest resolution drop Not as a groom: there's some of ye, I see, Compassion on the king commands me stoop; Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Would it not shame thee in so fair a troop Hasting to feed her fawn hid in some brake. Your master will be dead ere you return; This is the place; there, where the torch doth burn. MDCLXXVIII - "OLOVEICANALLEG" Only be patient till we have appeased Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, O, make a league with me, till I have pleased Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. I with great truth catch mere simplicity; Come, let us in, and with all speed provide A wife of such wood were felicity. Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, Ay, if thou wilt say 'ay' to my request; Let him die: sheathe thy impatience, throw cold Lorenzo, who is thy new master's guest: Except you mean with obstinate repulse Give me your hand and let me feel your pulse. MDCLXXIX - "ENOCAUSEHOWHEA" Either thou art most ignorant by age, Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Come, let's away; the strangers all are gone. And to such wondrous doing brought his horse Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Here didst thou fall; and here thy hunters stand, O foul dishonour to my household's grave! Who needs must know of her departure and Here to have death in peace is all he'll crave. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive After they heard young Arthur was alive? MDCLXXX - "VYDOIJOURNEYON" Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns-- Or who is he so fond will be the tomb I claim her not, and therefore she is thine. Join not with grief, fair woman, do not so, Or whether, riding on the balls of mine, Unto his several mistress, which they'll know Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore Nor shall not, if I do as I intend. Each changing place with that which goes before, Yet, to supply the ripe wants of my friend, O, no! alas, I rather hate myself Never lacks power to dismiss itself. MDCLXXXI - "THEWAYWHENWHAT" The unreasonable fury of a beast: He would have well becomed this place, and graced Ere you can take due orders for a priest: What might be toward, that this sweaty haste And turn him to no pain; but if he start, Yourself, held precious in the world's esteem, Which you say adds to nature, is an art Her eyes so suited, and they mourners seem Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Nor never did my actions yet commence When went there by an age, since the great flood, Her madness hath the oddest frame of sense, And cry 'Your will?' Have you no ears? I am They may awake their helps to comfort them. MDCLXXXII - "ISEEKMYWEARYTR" If she be fair and wise, fairness and wit, Since I nor wax nor honey can bring home, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Making another head to fight again. Your care is gain of care, by new care won: Where man doth not inhabit; you 'mongst men Endue you with the people's voice: remains And the offender granted scope of speech, Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains You may as well go stand upon the beach The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape, Rome will despise her for this foul escape. MDCLXXXIII - "AVELSENDDOTHTE" Although my last: no matter, since I feel Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find. Shall be applied. For us, we will resign, Each Trojan that is master of his heart, Nor by what wonder you do hit of mine,-- Decline all this, and see what now thou art: Dial is now upon the prick of noon. Only shape thou thy silence to my wit. Take time to pause; and, by the nest new moon-- He'll make your Paris Louvre shake for it, Though he be blunt, I know him passing wise; Envy the great nor do the low despise. MDCLXXXIV - "ACHTHATEASEAND" All this from my remembrance brutish wrath Comes through commissions, which compel from each Horns, Master Brook: and, Master Brook, he hath To do him wrong or any way impeach Her father hath commanded her to slip As doth a sail, fill'd with a fretting gust, That he may bless this bay with his tall ship, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And, not without some scandal to yourself, Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; And even now my burthen'd heart would break, Nor thou within the compass of my curse. Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. MDCLXXXV - "THATREPOSETOSA" That floated with thee on the fatal raft? Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. An't had been a green hair, I should have laughed That taught his son the office of a fowl! Revel and feast it at my house to-day, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Painting thy outward walls so costly gay? O hard-believing love, how strange it seems So may the outward shows be least themselves: Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Thankfulness. For your own gifts, make yourselves Or dive into the bottom of the deep, She's Love, she loves, and yet she is not loved. And am I then a man to be beloved? MDCLXXXVI - "YTHUSFARTHEMIL" Your sovereign greatness and authority. Then let the ladies tattle what they please. Holds from all soldiers chief majority Upon the next live creature that it sees. Sometime her grief is dumb and hath no words; Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds: And placed a quire of such enticing birds, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns To an unsettled fancy cure thy brains, How I have thought of this and of these times, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Men shall deal unadvisedly sometimes, I do beseech you, take it not amiss; Lavinia, you are not displeased with this? MDCLXXXVII - "ESAREMEASUREDF" Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks So desperate thieves, all hopeless of their lives, And shrive you of a thousand idle pranks. Rather than render back, out with your knives, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Matter against him that for ever mars Edward the Third, he bids you then resign And Humphrey with the peers be fall'n at jars: Show duty, as mistaken all this while Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Drove back again unto my native clime? Full fourteen weeks before the course of time. MDCLXXXVIII - "ROMTHYFRIENDTH" Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Or bends with the remover to remove: My brother's love, the devil, and my rage. The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, How many things by season season'd are You know your own degrees; sit down: at first For shame, be friends, and join for that you jar: Return and tell him so: we know the worst. In thunder and in earthquake, like a Jove, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Not to a rage. Patience and sorrow strove Day, yield me not thy light; nor, night, thy rest! To make him much outlive a gilded tomb, He stamps and bites the poor flies in his fume. MDCLXXXIX - "EBEASTTHATBEAR" England shall give him office, honour, might; But happy monarchs still are fear'd for love: Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, And stand indebted, over and above, So should the murder'd look, and so should I, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly That we may call it early by and by. He shall be executed presently. And often reading what contents it bears; Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste? Before the gods my knee shall bow my prayers Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste As or by oath remove or counsel shake Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. MDCXC - "SMETIREDWITHMY" She moves me not, or not removes, at least, Makes me look dismal will I clip to form; Ere you can take due orders for a priest: That yet you do not know. Fie on this storm! I something do excuse the thing I hate, Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Did never sonnet for her sake compile, Whereof we have record, trial did draw I say the earth did shake when I was born. Tremble and start at wagging of a straw, Hath twice done salutation to the morn; My army but a weak and sickly guard; Your worth is very dear in my regard. MDCXCI - "WOEPLODSDULLYO" Whose tenors and particular effects Of that true hand that fought Rome's quarrel out, Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Peter Quince! Flute, the bellows-mender! Snout, Lend me the letter; let me see what news. Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow, Dainties to taste, fresh beauty for the use, Say 'pardon,' king; let pity teach thee how: During whose reign the Percies of the north, Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Like boys unto a muss, kings would start forth, Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Your mind is all as youthful as your blood. Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? MDCXCII - "NTOBEARTHATWEI" None wed the second but who killed the first. Their harness studded all with gold and pearl. Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. But now I'll tell thee joyful tidings, girl. Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, And sees fast by a butcher with an axe, Resembles that it was. What it should be, Thy noble shape is but a form of wax, How far into the morning is it, lords? And let our army be discharged too. Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords. Without all ornament, itself and true, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Impatient answers from my gentle tongue? MDCXCIII - "GHTINMEASIFBYS" Grief best is pleased with grief's society: He durst not sit there, had your father lived. That makes thee strangle thy propriety: I would the friends we miss were safe arrived. Now, sister, let us hear your firm resolve. My way shall be paved with English faces. Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve And little stars shot from their fixed places, Shall never see so much, nor live so long. Indeed, I never shall be satisfied Force should be right; or rather, right and wrong, But that one half which is unsatisfied, Your right depends not on his life or death. Speak to thy father ere thou yield thy breath! MDCXCIV - "OMEINSTINCTTHE" Opening on Neptune with fair blessed beams, Met us again and madly bent on us, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. I charge thee, hence, and do not haunt me thus. Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims Some catch her by the neck, some kiss her face, To win a vulgar station: or veil'd dames I'll use to carry thee out of this place. Never was monarch better fear'd and loved Cannot impugn you as you do proceed. Then happy I, that love and am beloved Twice fifteen thousand hearts of England's breed,-- Hereafter, in a better world than this, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. MDCXCV - "WRETCHDIDKNOWH" We still have judgment here; that we but teach Richly in both, if justice had her right. Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. That birds would sing and think it were not night. Come, guard the door without; let him not pass, Her new-built virtue and obedience. Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, In forwarding this dear expedience. Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, Not for my life: but yet I dare defend On that advantage, bought with such a shame, Welcome is peace, if he on peace consist; How can she be with him? When was she missed? MDCXCVI - "ISRIDERLOVEDNO" I have no more sons of the royal blood Stand where the torch may not discover us. Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; I doubt not but with honour to redress; Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Rome shall record, and when I do forget Let him have time a beggar's orts to crave, One time or other break some gallows' back. Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Even like a man new haled from the rack, Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns-- Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad, Or ere I'll weep. O fool, I shall go mad! MDCXCVII - "TSPEEDBEINGMAD" To marry her, I'll add three thousand crowns She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails, Peace, you ungracious clamours! peace, rude sounds! Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Do not yourself such wrong, who are in this But now will canker-sorrow eat my bud Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. In vaults and prisons, and to thrill and shake Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Give me your gloves, I'll wear them for your sake; More light, you knaves; and turn the tables up, Ay, if the fool could find it where it lies. Doth Lear walk thus? speak thus? Where are his eyes? MDCXCVIII - "EFROMTHEETHEBL" Even like a man new haled from the rack, From south to west on wing soaring aloft, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! O, yes; and went between us very oft. My resolution, husband, do thou take; There is enough written upon this earth Had been a little ratsbane for thy sake! England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, The other part reserved I by consent, Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like Either of king or council, when you went But in the other's silence do I see Look by and by to have thy sons with thee. MDCXCIX - "OODYSPURCANNOT" Of this deep pit, poor Bassianus' grave. O, let us have him, for his silver hairs Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Your eyes do make no coaches; in your tears So were their daggers, which unwiped we found Poor pelting villages, sheepcotes, and mills, Uproar the universal peace, confound Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Can draw him but to answer thee in aught, And of a dragon and a finless fish, Now she unweaves the web that she hath wrought; Nor leave not one behind that doth not wish Or climb my palace, till from forth this place That it will live engraven in my face. MDCC - "PROVOKEHIMONTH" Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were O, then, what graces in my love do dwell, Values itself so highly that to her O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. Enough: my soul shall then be satisfied. How I may be deliver'd of these woes, If ever you have look'd on better days, My duty then shall pay me for my pains: On Fortinbras; which he, in brief, obeys, Now, youthful Troilus, do not these high strains That my discovery be not aimed at; He's a good fellow, I can tell you that. MDCCI - "ATSOMETIMESANG" A shrewd contriver; and, you know, his means, Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, Mine hair be fixed on end, as one distract; Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, To feed contention in a ling'ring act; I would the state of time had first been whole Myself and what is mine to you and yours England and France might, through their amity, Saying, I liked her ere I went to wars. And free my country from calamity: Not all together: better far, I guess, Go with the princes, or stay here with us? MDCCII - "ERTHRUSTSINTOH" Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Rather, lost more. And by this hand I swear, To help me after? I will kiss thy lips; Here art thou in appointment fresh and fair, Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Such commendations as becomes a maid, Till, like a boy, you see him cringe his face, Sometimes she shakes her head and then his hand, In things right true my heart and eyes have erred, Now useless, boil'd within thy skull! There stand, The king doth smile at; and is well prepared Once I encounter'd him, and thus I said: How came you in these parts? where were you bred? MDCCIII - "ISHIDEWHICHHEA" I fear, a madness held me: this must crave, Saying, I liked her ere I went to wars. He's both their parent, and he is their grave, I hold my life as dear as you do yours; Doth too too oft betake him to retire, Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. What hath quench'd them hath given me fire. Hath this brave manage, this career, been run. I fear it much; and I do fear besides, Come, enter with us.

MDCCIV - "VILYHEANSWERSW" Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. If thou art dun, we'll draw thee from the mire Love's stories written in love's richest book. You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre, Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; And my imaginations are as foul Nature dispenses with the deed so far Sweet love, what spite hath thy fair colour spent? Will you, with those infirmities she owes, Either of king or council, when you went Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows So, leave him all. Well, my companion friends, With colours fairer painted their foul ends. MDCCV - "ITHAGROANMORES" If you had known the virtue of the ring, The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Hands and they unwashed too, 'tis a foul thing. And what love can do that dares love attempt; Great men have reaching hands: oft have I struck Richard, enough; I will be king, or die. Of as great size. Ween you of better luck, A visor for a visor! what care I Now is my turn to speak. Behold this child: Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; Of Alcibiades the approaches wild, Ready to catch each other by the throat, Every man shift for all the rest, and Spotted with strawberries in your wife's hand? MDCCVI - "HARPTOMETHANSP" He was but as the cuckoo is in June, A post from Wales loaden with heavy news; Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Profitless usurer, why dost thou use The tyrannous and bloody deed is done. One time or other break some gallows' back. My father, king of Spain, was reckon'd one Even like a man new haled from the rack, Thou dost beguile me! Was this face the face Hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench? And spit it bleeding in his high disgrace, Now keep your holy word: go meet the French, Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie. Persuade this rude wretch willingly to die. MDCCVII - "URRINGTOHISSID" Upon the country where you make abode; Receiving them from such a worthless post. Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. I think this upstart is old Talbot's ghost, No harm by it, though the gods hear, I hope Grows wide withal. Perhaps he loves you now, Though palaces and pyramids do slope Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow, Here comes your man; now is your husband nigh. Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf; Some offer me commodities to buy: Sweet father, cease your tears; for, at your grief, If any such be here--as God forbid!-- Directly interest: mark what Jacob did. MDCCVIII - "EFORTHATSAMEGR" Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Free from these slanders and this open shame! O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- To tie up envy evermore enlarged: Horrible villain! or I'll spurn thine eyes Ay, ay, farewell; thy office is discharged. Tell thou an earl his divination lies, Speak terms of manage to thy bounding steed; And after seem to chide 'em. This shall make Mine own self-love quite contrary I read; England we love; and for that England's sake Give it the beasts, to be rid of the men. Receive each other. God speak this Amen! MDCCIX - "OANDOTHPUTTHIS" One step I have advanc'd thee. If thou dost And let Bianca take her sister's room. Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; Displant a town, reverse a prince's doom, O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, The cause were not in being,--part o' the cause, He is a great observer and he looks Presume not that I am the thing I was, Upon the beauty of all parts besides, That he would labour my delivery. These tidings would call forth their flowing tides. He likewise gives a frock or livery, I was a pack-horse in his great affairs; Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? MDCCX - "INMYMINDMYGRIE" I pray you all, tell me what they deserve No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil; Must strike her sail and learn awhile to serve You of my household, leave this peevish broil My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen. I thank thee, gentle Percy; and be sure No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, Discharged. But come, your Bergomask: let your Must murder wives much better than themselves Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. God should be so obdurate as yourselves, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, If you bethink yourself of any crime England ne'er had a king until his time. MDCCXI - "FLIESONWARDAND" From forth the ranks of many thousand French, Lay'st thou thy leaden mace upon my boy, If with the sap of reason you would quench, Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Swooning destruction, or some joy too fine, Of which, my lord, your honour is the last. Nothing so heavy as these woes of mine. When he did stand for consul, which he lost And yet not so, for what can we bequeath Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods Defiance, traitors, hurl we in your teeth: Any beginning to this peevish odds; Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Descend to darkness and the burning lake! MDCCXII - "MYJOYBEHINDTHU" My leisure serves me, pensive daughter, now. Yield up, O love, thy crown and hearted throne Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow, Of seeming sorrow--it is sure your own. Your vows to her and me, put in two scales, But if thy arms be to no other end, Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, His crown shall be the ransom of my friend; If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, Night hangs upon mine eyes; my bones would rest, Do I take part: the rarer action is Throwing the base thong from his bending crest, Here at more leisure may your Highness read, Unless the earth with thy increase be fed? MDCCXIII - "SCANMYLOVEEXCU" Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Confirm it so, mine honourable lord. And sends them weapons wrapped about with lines, Nay, never lay thy hand upon thy sword; My speech should fall into such vile success You know me well, and herein spend but time Let's to the altar: heralds, wait on us: Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet eXtorted treasure in the womb of earth Counting myself but bad till I be best. Undaunted spirit in a dying breast! MDCCXIV - "SETHESLOWOFFEN" Stones have been known to move and trees to speak; Except it be to pray against thy foes. The bug which you would fright me with I seek. Here feelingly she weeps Troy's painted woes: Either of king or council, when you went So I at each sad strain will strain a tear, Losing her woes in shows of discontent. O, had we never, never hunted there!-- We are in God's hand, brother, not in theirs. Only, good master, while we do admire For I should melt at an offender's tears, For who digs hills because they do aspire Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. No, madam; we will bring you on your way. MDCCXV - "CEOFMYDULLBEAR" Come, he hath hid himself among these trees, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek O, take her home, mistress, take her home: these Fain would I woo her, yet I dare not speak: Mistress, your father prays you leave your books Yet, were there but this single plot to lose, Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. Unless she do it under this excuse, Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! But both of you were vow'd Duke Humphrey's foes, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. MDCCXVI - "ERWHENFROMTHEE" Even in the presence of the crowned king. Rome's royal mistress, mistress of my heart, Who all in one, one pleasing note do sing: Hath done this deed on Caesar. For your part, Expire before the flowers in their caps, No longer session hold upon my shame, For Clarence is well-spoken, and perhaps Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- O brother, with the dismall'st object hurt Make me but like my thoughts, and I shall prove To match us in comparisons with dirt, He cannot be compell'd to't--once remove Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MDCCXVII - "ISPEEDFROMWHER" I cannot tell: the world is grown so bad, Successful fortune, steel thy melting heart Preach some philosophy to make me mad, Each one demand an answer to his part Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Depose him in the justice of his cause. For shame, be friends, and join for that you jar: Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, O, seek not to entrap me, gracious lord, Master, you look'd so longly on the maid. Which to his former strength may be restored Hath drawn him from his own determined aid, Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. MDCCXVIII - "ETHOUARTWHYSHO" Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought To keep the oath that we administer: He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught Oft does them by the weakest minister: Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest; And spite of spite needs must I rest awhile. Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Three foot of it doth hold: bad world the while! What, think you then the king shall be deposed? How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? You had not show'd them how ye were disposed Speak, Winchester; for boiling choler chokes How irksome is this music to my heart! Once more, on pain of death, all men depart. MDCCXIX - "ULDIHASTEMETHE" Unless thou couldst return to make amends? Large sums of gold and dowries with their wives: Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' I give him you, the noblest that survives, Here is a silly stately style indeed! As honour, loss of time, travail, expense, Should show so heinous, black, obscene a deed! To any happy messenger from thence. Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought My lords, look where the sturdy rebel sits, Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought To have a thousand with red burning spits Here are your sons again; and I must lose Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MDCCXX - "NCETILLIRETURN" Nothing but sit and sit, and eat and eat! Conceptions only proper to myself, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Then should the warlike Harry, like himself, If you do love me, you will find me out. Let us not live in France; let us quit all Look on her, mark her well; be but about Is added to her wounds: I think withal Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less This dying virtue, this surviving shame, Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess. Rome will despise her for this foul escape. Nay, master, both in mind and in my shape. MDCCXXI - "OFPOSTINGISNON" O spite! O hell! I see you all are bent From Rome all season'd office and to wind Put into parts, doth keep in one consent, O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, See, brother, see; note how she quotes the leaves. They shall be praying nuns, not weeping queens; In limited professions. Rascal thieves, Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof: I do protest I never heard of it; Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. Of whom so often I have heard renown, Now near enough: your leafy screens throw down. MDCCXXII - "EEDOWHATEXCUSE" Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Enow to press a royal merchant down Do what thou canst, I will not go to-day; Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, What thing, in honour, had my father lost He likewise gives a frock or livery, As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last, That he would labour my delivery. Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; eXcepting one, I would he were the best Cuts beauty off from all posterity. Upward of twenty years, and have been blest Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MDCCXXIII - "WILLMYPOORBEAS" What maintenance he from his friends receives, I will not hence, till, with my talk and tears, Loath to bid farewell, we take our leaves. Let them be free, marry them to your heirs? My noble uncle, do you know the cause? You shall be more beloving than beloved. Presume not that I am the thing I was, Of all that virtue love for virtue loved: O god of love! I know he doth deserve Rome's royal mistress, mistress of my heart, But, my good lord, your grace's word shall serve, Each one demand an answer to his part All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick. So do you too, where you perceive them thick. MDCCXXIV - "TTHENFINDWHENS" Thou canst not speak too much; I have deserved To greet him and to give him comforts. Sir, Here is my hand; the premises observed, Either to die the death or to abjure Nor aught so good but strain'd from that fair use Fall pat as I told you. Yonder she comes. Insinuation, parley and base truce No malice, sir; no more than well becomes Daughter to Charlemain, who was the son Which came from one that's of a neutral heart, He, with two striplings-lads more like to run Each one demand an answer to his part No news so bad abroad as this at home; Sweet scrolls to fly about the streets of Rome! MDCCXXV - "WIFTEXTREMITYC" Why, sir, I gave the money for the rope. In sooth, I would you were a little sick, For further life in this world I ne'er hope, That smiles his cheek in years and knows the trick Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve eXcept some petty towns of no import: That you affect; and so must you resolve, Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Most honourably doth unhold his word. I never wish'd to see you sorry; now There's two of you; the devil make a third! You thief of love! what, have you come by night Come on, then; wear the favours most in sight. MDCCXXVI - "ANSEEMBUTSLOWT" Another king! they grow like Hydra's heads: Nor never did my actions yet commence Since they love men in arms as well as beds. Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Master, it is no time to chide you now; But fear not thou, until thy foot be snared, Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou To lose so bad employment; in the which She marking them begins a wailing note Lies in his hamstring, and doth think it rich Or being wreck'd, I am a worthless boat, With such bedecking ornaments of praise? The guilty rebel for remission prays. MDCCXXVII - "HENSHOULDISPUR" Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, So mightily betray'd! yet at the first Her tongue will not obey her heart, nor can Only my blood speaks to you in my veins; Upon this spotted and inconstant man. Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Do not weep, do not weep. Alas the day! I know, ere they will have me go to ward, Such strong renown as time shall ne'er decay. Proffers not took reap thanks for their reward. Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. Repair'd with double riches of content. MDCCXXVIII - "THOUGHMOUNTEDO" They shoot but calm words folded up in smoke, He murder cries and help from Athens calls. One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Upon his visage, and that all the walls Give me the glass, and therein will I read. Hideth my heart. So, let me hear you speak. Madam, undress you, and come now to bed. On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Under an oak, whose boughs were moss'd with age, Now, sister, let us hear your firm resolve. That ever wall-eyed wrath or staring rage Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Doth fat me with the very thoughts of it! O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get? MDCCXXIX - "NTHEWINDINWING" Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, This momentary joy breeds months of pain; Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Establish him in his true sense again, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, If he arise, be mock'd and wonder'd at. No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil; Double six thousand, and then treble that, I gave it freely ever; and there's none Nor heady-rash, provoked with raging ire, Wert thou not brother to great Edward's son, I will lay odds that, ere this year expire, No more than I am well acquitted of. God give us leisure for these rites of love! MDCCXXX - "EDSPEEDNOMOTIO" Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is. Such was the very armour he had on Painted cloth, where the glutton's dogs licked his Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. Now, Lovell, from the queen what is the news? Or dive into the bottom of the deep, Must you, Sir John, protect my lady here? Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep. These eyes that never shed remorseful tear, I can no longer brook thy vanities. Of Timon man and all humanity! MDCCXXXI - "NSHALLIKNOWTHE" No more shall cut his master. Therefore, friends, Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's And the remembrancer of her to hold Lo, in these windows that let forth thy life, Led us to Rome, strangers, and more than so, I now am full resolved to take a wife Kill thy physician, and the fee bestow Nothing to think on but ensuing death: Or should have spoke ere this. Look down, you god, Where is John Talbot? Pause, and take thy breath; The third time; I hope good luck lies in odd Here to this devil, to deliver you. Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. MDCCXXXII - "NCANNOHORSEWIT" Nature hath meal and bran, contempt and grace. Crack my clear voice with sobs and break my heart And the red rose blush at her own disgrace, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Nature that made thee, with herself at strife, Offended us you have not, but the king. He flatters you, makes war upon your life. O, much I fear some ill unlucky thing. Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough Enow to press a royal merchant down Which on your just proceeding I'll keep off, I have no mind of feasting forth to-night: Thus out of season, threading dark-ey'd night. MDCCXXXIII - "HMYDESIREKEEPP" Hath motion and mine eye may be deceived: My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear; Young prince of Tyre, you have at large received Doth any here know me? This is not Lear. Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? In that each of you have forsworn his book, Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Kneel down before him, hang upon his gown: Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Enow to press a royal merchant down Philip, my liege, so is my name begun, Publius, Publius, what hast thou done? MDCCXXXIV - "ACETHEREFOREDE" Am like to do: take in your arms this piece Can I do this, and cannot get a crown? Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. The skipping king, he ambled up and down How many inches doth fill up one mile. Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, From those that she calls servants, or from mine? Of her confine. You should be rul'd, and led Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. MDCCXXXV - "SIREOFPERFECTS" Since that my penitence comes after all, I know him now. Good God, betimes remove Remember whom you are to cope withal; Effect it with some care, that he may prove O, that that earth which kept the world in awe For fleet-wing'd duty with thought's feathers flies. Prove them, and I lie open to the law: Envy the great nor do the low despise. Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. For womanish it is to be from thence. Except it be to pray against thy foes. Come on, you thick lipp'd slave, I'll bear you hence; The unreasonable fury of a beast: Suspect still comes where an estate is least. MDCCXXXVI - "TLOVEBEINGMADE" To see her tears; but be your heart to them Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his O sinful thought! Never so rich a gem Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Every man shift for all the rest, and But, by your leave, it never yet did hurt Ere I could make thee open thy white hand If I speak true! if hollowly, invert Northumberland, say thus the king returns: Go muster men; but, hear you, leave behind Madam, it will not lie where it concerns And play the mother's part, kiss me, be kind: Drove back again unto my native clime? England ne'er had a king until his time. MDCCXXXVII - "SHALLNEIGHNODU" Shall plead for me and tell my loving tale: Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise. And feeds from home; poor I am but his stale. Lavinia, live; outlive thy father's days, Lord, who would live turmoiled in the court, No king of England, if not king of France. Except some petty towns of no import: Inclinable to honour and advance Give me one kiss, I'll give it thee again, Ha! what sayest thou? Why, the end is, he hath No leisure had he to enrank his men; O cleft effect! cold modesty, hot wrath, Devis'd a new commission; wrote it fair. Unless thou rescue him from foul despair? MDCCXXXVIII - "LLFLESHINHISFI" Like Turk to Christian. Women's gentle brain Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: Fly, to revenge my death, if I be slain. La main, de hand; les doigts, de fingres. Je pense Empale him with your weapons round about; So virgin-like without? Lo, here she comes. His looks I fear, and his intents I doubt. I doubt whether their legs be worth the sums Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says He dies that touches any of this fruit I would I could not think it: that thought is Speak, fair; but speak fair words, or else be mute: For York in justice puts his armour on. Indeed, my lord, it followed hard upon. MDCCXXXIX - "ERYRACEBUTLOVE" Even so void is your false heart of truth. Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, Your children were vexation to your youth, Rising and cawing at the gun's report, And hear thou there how many fruitless pranks Cold death aside, and with the other sends Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks But, for all this, my honest-natured friends, Upon the fortune of this present year: To walk abroad, and recreate yourselves. List his discourse of war, and you shall hear Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MDCCXL - "FORLOVETHUSSHA" For never henceforth shall I joy again, Or we are Romans and will give you that Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Let me have men about me that are fat; O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get? Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else one self mate and mate could not beget Thy private feasting to a public fast, He that unbuckles this, till we do please Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Shall sit and pant in your great chairs of ease, She pray'd me to excuse her keeping close, He's very likely now to fall from him, As I would buy thee, view thee limb by limb. MDCCXLI - "LLEXCUSEMYJADE" Look, sirs, if you can find the huntsman out Lies at the mercy of his mortal sting. Empale him with your weapons round about; eXpress'd and not express'd. But when this ring Came of a gentle kind and noble stock, Upon old Brutus' statue: all this done, Shall chide your trespass and return your mock Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. My fault is past. But, O, what form of prayer Yonder comes news. A wager they have met. Join with the traitor, and they jointly swear And, on my trust, a man that never yet Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MDCCXLII - "SINCEFROMTHEEG" Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Is Clarence dead? the order was reversed. Now when the lords and barons of the realm Contend against thy valour. Know thou first, Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Fear not, my lord, your servant shall do so. Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, O, none but unthrifts! Dear my love, you know May deem that you are worthily deposed. Then, if he lose, he makes a swan-like end, How covert matters may be best disclosed, Each hath his place and function to attend: Environed with all these hideous fears? Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. MDCCXLIII - "OINGHEWENTWILF" O, but they say the tongues of dying men In your bad strokes, Brutus, you give good words: Now civil wounds are stopp'd, peace lives again: Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds. How can she be with him? When was she missed? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Welcome is peace, if he on peace consist; Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. No masque to-night: the wind is come about; The King of Scots; whom she did send to France, Who were the motives that you first went out; Inclinable to honour and advance Like to a bankrupt beggar wails his case: Fie, how impatience loureth in your face! MDCCXLIV - "ULSLOWTOWARDST" Unless the fear of death doth make me dote, Lest sorrow lend me words and words express Set in a note-book, learn'd, and conn'd by rote, Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; O, whither shall we fly from this reproach? Which is the ladder to all high designs, The hearing of my wife with your approach; O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines What, would you bury him in my despite? And with your puissant arm renew their feats: Receive thy lance; and God defend the right! Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets; She's apt to learn, and thankful for good turns. Then let it lie for those that it concerns. MDCCXLV - "HEEILLRUNANDGI" How shall we do for money for these wars? Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? Rather than so, come fate into the list. Unless he do submit himself to Rome. Now is this golden crown like a deep well All mine was thine before thou hadst this more. Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell, Dost thou love hawking? Thou hast hawks will soar Give my sweet Nan this ring: there's for thy pains. I am left out; for me nothing remains. MDCCXLVI - "VEHIMLEAVETOGO" Values itself so highly that to her Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, How far is it to Berkeley? and what stir If he should break his day, what should I gain My Icarus, my blossom, in his pride. Look on thy country, look on fertile France, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. And I will wish thee never more to dance, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Timon will to the woods; where he shall find Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Go, count thy way with sighs; I mine with groans. One day he gives us diamonds, next day stones. MDCCXLVII - "SOAMIASTHERICH" Sir, you say well, and well you do conceive; Off with his head, and set it on York gates; And well am like to do; for, I perceive, Meet in one line; and vast confusion waits, It pleased your majesty to turn your looks And question this most bloody piece of work, Save base authority from others' books There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. How much I have disabled mine estate, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: I came from Corinth, my most gracious lord,-- Consent to pay thee that I never had! Hoyday, a riddle! neither good nor bad! MDCCXLVIII - "WHOSEBLESSEDKE" We thank you both: yet one but flatters us, Hence, pack! there's gold; you came for gold, ye slaves: O, torture me no more! I will confess. Stay, my Lord Talbot; for my lady craves Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: But if I cannot win you to this love, Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Steal from his figure and no pace perceived; Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Deceived in thy integrity, deceived Keep then far league and truce with thy true bed; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MDCCXLIX - "YCANBRINGHIMTO" Your mother was most true to wedlock, prince; Cool and congeal again to what it was. All the occurrence of my fortune since Nor fear of bad success in a bad cause, Be it thy course to busy giddy minds Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- If speaking, why, a vane blown with all winds; No longer session hold upon my shame, Go search like nobles, like noble subjects, Have from the forests shook three summers' pride, In this point charge him home, that he affects Myself and divers gentlemen beside Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, Open Thy gate of mercy, gracious God! MDCCL - "HISSWEETUPLOCK" How shall I honour thee for this success? I ask'd his blessing, and from first to last So shall you share all that he doth possess, Show'd like an April daisy on the grass, Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. Prithee, no more: let him come when he will; Lest with my sighs or tears I blast or drown Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still, Come, come, Antipholus, we dine too late. Know man from man? dispute his own estate? MDCCLI - "EDTREASURETHEW" England and France might, through their amity, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. To bear the tidings of calamity. Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And that the Earl of Surrey, with the rod. So to seduce!- won to his shameful lust Under the counterfeited zeal of God, Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. England shall double gild his treble guilt; That hath been breeder of these dire events. He was a gentleman on whom I built Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Where will doth mutiny with wit's regard. MDCCLII - "HICHHEWILLNOTE" How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? I shall have share in this most happy wreck. Consisting equally of horse and foot; Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Whom envy hath immured within your walls! Immodestly lies martyr'd with disgrace! Learn him forbearance from so foul a wrong. Like to a censer in a barber's shop. Nay, come, agree whose hand shall go along, O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop Till when,--the which I hope shall ne'er be seen,-- Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MDCCLIII - "VERYHOURSURVEY" Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; You must eat men. Yet thanks I must you con He murder cries and help from Athens calls. O, wither'd is the garland of the war, Upon his visage, and that all the walls Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore She's gone. I am abused; and my relief Upon the heavy middle of the night Robs the vast sea: the moon's an arrant thief, Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Except thou wilt except against my love. You have forgot the will I told you of. MDCCLIV - "FORBLUNTINGTHE" Fits kings, as they are men, for they may err. Of King Polixenes, it should here be laid, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were But weakly guarded, where the breach was made. Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Upon his peril, that I have reserved Now do you know the reason of this haste. Thy will by my performance shall be served: I give to both your speeches, which were such No, no; he cannot long hold out these pangs. God's light, with two points on your shoulder? Much! The swords of soldiers are his teeth, his fangs; Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MDCCLV - "FINEPOINTOFSEL" For forty ducats is too much to lose. It is not for your health thus to commit Not what you are, I know it will excuse Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Playing the place which did no form receive, One part of Aquitaine is bound to us, I will be squared by this. I do believe No, I defy all counsel, all redress, That I, in forgery of shapes and tricks, Of fourteen; I have known thee already. For thy three thousand ducats here is six. Set it down. Is ink and paper ready? Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Lady, with me, with me thy fortune lies. MDCCLVI - "DOMPLEASURETHE" Discover more at large what cause that was, O father Abram, what these Christians are, Madam, have comfort: all of us have cause Purpose return. Why hast thou gone so far, Let thy fair wisdom, not thy passion, sway Expire before the flowers in their caps, Accursed, unhappy, wretched, hateful day! Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps. Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Enough, captain: you have astonished him. MDCCLVII - "REFOREAREFEAST" Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Either to die the death or to abjure Filling the air with swords advanced and darts, Of stirs abroad, I shall beseech you, sir, Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Each present lord began to promise aid, And that thy summer bred us no increase, Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: For since the birth of Cain, the first male child, Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Approach, ho! All's not well: Caesar's beguiled. Shows us but this: I am sworn brother, sweet, That oft they interchange each other's seat. MDCCLVIII - "SSOSOLEMNANDSO" She shall undo her credit with the Moor. Shall be to you, as us, like glorious. Or stones whose rates are either rich or poor Seeing the deed is meritorious, Of the last monarchy,--see that you come Love not such nights as these. The wrathful skies Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? My heart doth charge the watch; the morning rise Nay, all of you that stand and look upon, A Roman and a British ensign wave Nay, if you stare, we shall hear more anon. Despite of death that lives upon my grave, So many greedy looks of young and old Of physiognomy might one behold! MDCCLIX - "RARESINCESELDO" Return, return, and make thy love amends. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Remaining in the coffer of her friends, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. See where she comes from shrift with merry look. I saw him in the battle range about; Nay I'll to him again in name of Brook Can any face of brass hold longer out? Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, She bears the load of lust he left behind, Each present lord began to promise aid, Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; Dispersed those vapours that offended us; O, torture me no more! I will confess. MDCCLX - "MCOMINGINTHELO" My strong imagination sees a crown Cry, Trojans, cry! practise your eyes with tears! Of whom so often I have heard renown, My will enkindled by mine eyes and ears, If any such be here--as God forbid!-- Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind; Gave sign for me to leave you: so I did; Inspire me, that I may this treason find! Now do you know the reason of this haste. That she with painted images hath spent; Have more than merited.- All friends shall taste Either of king or council, when you went Lady, you know no rules of charity, Of his self-love, to stop posterity? MDCCLXI - "NGYEARSETLIKES" No! why? When he that is my husband now Go in and cheer the king: he rages; none Your mother lives a witness to that vow-- Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. As one near death to those that wish him live: Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains So be my grave my peace as here I give Endue you with the people's voice: remains The insolence of office, and the spurns Look you, I love you well; I'll give you gold, I will not kiss thee; then the rot returns Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold Each one demand an answer to his part Sweetly supposed them mistress of his heart. MDCCLXII - "TONESOFWORTHTH" Thou already, that seest not thy loss in Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, Either they must be dieted like mules Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines For which I must not plead, but that I am What means my niece Lavinia by these signs? Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. That, ere the next Ascension-day at noon, Honest plain words best pierce the ear of grief; Thy private feasting to a public fast, Here comes a man; let's stay till he be past. MDCCLXIII - "EYTHINLYPLACED" Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks You came not of one mother then, it seems. To crouch in litter of your stable planks, He spake of her, as Dian had hot dreams, Instead whereof let this supply the room: No word like 'pardon' for kings' mouths so meet. Lies richer in your thoughts than on his tomb; Yet from my dugs he drew not this deceit. Place you that side; I'll take the charge of this: Like to a lonely dragon, that his fen As far from help as Limbo is from bliss! Can make you live yourself in eyes of men. Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? MDCCLXIV - "AREORCAPTAINJE" A vessel rides fast by, but not prepared Return'd my letter back. Then all alone Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Rather than so, come fate into the list. Counting myself but bad till I be best. And wring the awful sceptre from his fist, Perhaps she cull'd it from among the rest. That stays to bear my letters to my friends, As he made semblance of his duty, would I know what thorns the growing rose defends; No, no; when Fortune means to men most good, Justice with favour have I always done; Expecting in return twenty for one? MDCCLXV - "WELSINTHECARCA" With nothing trembles: at some thing it grieves, Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Lusty and like to live: the queen receives Start up and stand an end. O gentle son, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. Not gross to sink, but light, and will aspire. Then happy I, that love and am beloved High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Choked with ambition of the meaner sort: And yet a dispensation may be had. Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Clock to itself, knew the true minute when A combless cock, so Kate will be my hen. MDCCLXVI - "NETSOISTHETIME" Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Their cold intent, tenour, and substance, thus: She moves me not, or not removes, at least, O father Abram, what these Christians are, I sell thee poison; thou hast sold me none. Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar Take honour from me, and my life is done: He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. Empale him with your weapons round about; That, when he plays at tables, chides the dice I marvel why her grace did leave it out. My clerk hath some good comforts too for you. Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. MDCCLXVII - "THATKEEPSYOUAS" That ever Timon was. Shame not these woods, Here is her hand, the agent of her heart; And thither bear your treasure and your goods. To have my praise for this, perform a part Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure England shall double gild his treble guilt; Exposing what is mortal and unsure Pardon me, wife. Henceforth do what thou wilt; Some glory in their birth, some in their skill, You are not worth the dust which the rude wind O, in this love, you love your child so ill, Under that bond that him as fast doth bind. And there are twenty weak and wearied posts Sky-planted batters all rebelling coasts? MDCCLXVIII - "MYCHESTORASTHE" My blood shall wash the slander of mine ill; You here at Milford-Haven with your ships: Come pentecost as quickly as it will, His insolence draws folly from my lips; Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem: To those which would not know them, and yet must Or I am mad, or else this is a dream: Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: And lastly, to confirm that amity So early waking, what with loathsome smells, To bear the tidings of calamity. He was not sad, for he would shine on those Except it be to pray against thy foes. MDCCLXIX - "WARDROBEWHICHT" While we pursued the horsemen of the north, And, may I say to thee, this pride of hers, Receive it friendly; but from this time forth Dear life redeems you. You perceive she stirs: Rome shall record, and when I do forget Or, when he doom'd this beauty to a grave, But when a black-faced cloud the world doth threat, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Which, rank of goodness, would by ill be cured: He had the wit which I can well observe If she have time to breathe be well assured Come, enter with us. Ladies, you deserve He dies that touches any of this fruit That some impurity doth not pollute. MDCCLXX - "HEROBEDOTHHIDE" How many of you have mine eyes beheld! Envy your great deservings and good name, Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Or, if thou canst not, O, for shame, for shame, Bound to himself! what doth he with a bond Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, Or if he do, let it at least be said That rage in savage sensuality. Here is your husband, like a mildew'd ear Here on my knee I beg mortality, Is sweet. Nay, you shall fight your hearts out ere Did move your greatness and this noble state Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MDCCLXXI - "TOMAKESOMESPEC" Thou dost not wish more help from England, coz? Or pardon'd being down? Then I'll look up; Made me acquainted with a weighty cause Are they gone, and there they intend to sup. Kind uncle York, the latest news we hear Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Send for your daughter by your servant here; O, what excuse will my poor beast then find, My stay, my guide and lantern to my feet: Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, She eat no meat to-day, nor none shall eat; Prove you that any man with me conversed Envy your great deservings and good name, Come you, my lord, to see my open shame? MDCCLXXII - "IALINSTANTSPEC" I pray the gods she may, with all my heart. And swear unto my soul to right your wrongs. Let them have scope: though what they do impart I see a better state to me belongs Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Take dust, like Mistress Mall's picture? why dost And, like a thief, to come to rob my grounds, No malice, sir; no more than well becomes Therefore be gone; solicit me no more. So virgin-like without? Lo, here she comes. Pure Chastity is rifled of her store, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Crowning the present, doubting of the rest? MDCCLXXIII - "IALBLESTBYNEWU" Into the market-place: there shall I try All the occurrence of my fortune since Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, But you at your sick service had a prince. Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Even so void is your false heart of truth. Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. The gravity and stillness of your youth But nothing can affection's course control, Your son's my father's friend; he takes his part. Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Was borne so like a soldier, that thy cheek Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. MDCCLXXIV - "NFOLDINGHISIMP" Nay, be not angry; I am pleased again. For hither we have broken in by force. O valiant lord, the Duke of York is slain! Let me persuade you take a better course. Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? I speak amazedly; and it becomes Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Good uncle Marcus, see how swift she comes. How often said, my dignity would last I could not do withal; then I'll repent, Show'd like an April daisy on the grass, I wish your ladyship all heart's content. My thoughts aim at a further matter; I Persuade this rude wretch willingly to die. MDCCLXXV - "RISONDPRIDEBLE" Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? I will advise you where to plant yourselves; So please it you, my lord, 'twere not amiss Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves No king of England, if not king of France. Did I the tired Caesar. And this man Proclaim that I can sing, weave, sew, and dance, Reprove my allegation, if you can; I have been begging sixteen years in court, Did tell me of you, bade me trust you; but Except some petty towns of no import: But did you not request to have it cut? Like usury, applying wet to wet, Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MDCCLXXVI - "SSEDAREYOUWHOS" Set foot under thy table. Tut, a toy! Show a fair presence and put off these frowns, Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds And yet I'll promise thee she shall be rich, Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which You'll mar the light by taking it in snuff; Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt, We know not where you left him all alive; His soldiers lurking in the towns about, Of all rejoindure, forcibly prevents Some entertainment for them in their tents. MDCCLXXVII - "EWORTHINESSGIV" Else shall you not have any hand at all What is your quarrel? how began it first? O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Return and tell him so: we know the worst. There is a brief how many sports are ripe: Here's my glove: give me another of thine. If I would time expend with such a snipe. Nor I no more of his, than you of mine. Except a sword or sceptre balance it: So I were out of prison and kept sheep, Straight will I bring you to the loathsome pit Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: In the end of autumn turned to the rams, Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? MDCCLXXVIII - "ESSCOPEBEINGHA" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Should have a back or second, that might hold So distribution should undo excess, Crush him together rather than unfold O Desdemona! Desdemona! dead! People of Rome, and people's tribunes here, England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Brothers, you mix your sadness with some fear. England, impatient of your just demands, I am. What must we understand by this? Nay, it shall ne'er be said, while England stands, Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. How comes it then, vile Opportunity, And make me happy in your unity. MDCCLXXIX - "DTOTRIUMPHBEIN" Deposed he shall be, in despite of all. To melt the city leads upon your pates, O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! The unity and married calm of states Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; If you'll stand fast, we'll beat them to their wives, Upon thy side against myself I'll fight, More honourable state, more courtship lives Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, He was a gentleman on whom I built But this one word, whether thy tale be true. England shall double gild his treble guilt; I pray you, have in mind where we must meet. Nothing but sit and sit, and eat and eat! MDCCLXXX - "GLACKDTOHOPEWH" Go search like nobles, like noble subjects, Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! And he my husband best of all affects. Come, leave your tears: a brief farewell: the beast Keepers, convey him hence, and I myself Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. Thought and affliction, passion, hell itself, Or at their chamber door I'll beat the drum Hold unbewail'd their way. Welcome to Rome; O, well-a-day, that ever I was born! Perchance, Iago, I will ne'er go home. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Who's there? my Lord AEneas! By my troth, He will do all in all as Hastings doth. MDCCLXXXI - "ATISYOURSUBSTA" Ay, and we are betroth'd: nay, more, our, Tell them your feats; whilst they with joyful tears I made to it, to know of whence you are. She speaks much of her father; says she hears You, in the right of Lady Blanch your wife, Once touch my shoulder. Great the slaughter is Upon whose property and most dear life Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Speak England first, that hath been forward first Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. Broken his staff of office and dispersed Such comfort as do lusty young men feel The other, that he do record a gift, As thou hast lent me wit to plot this drift! MDCCLXXXII - "NCEWHEREOFAREY" Nay, stay; by Jove, I will not speak a word: Came to me, as I follow'd Henry's corse, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Wast born to bear? I was not made a horse; He is gone happy, and has left me rich: Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Or, wing'd with fervor of her love, she's flown For he hath wit to make an ill shape good, And plant your joys in living Edward's throne. Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Establish him in his true sense again, Yet I have fac'd it with a card of ten. MDCCLXXXIII - "OUMADETHATMILL" O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Unto the climate that they point upon. Methinks they should invite them without knives; And, hoodwink'd as thou art, will lead thee on Didst yield consent to disinherit him, England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, They come like sacrifices in their trim, His wife but yesternight was brought to bed; And on their skins, as on the bark of trees, The agent of thy foul inconstancy, My daughter shall be Henry's, if he please. I have made strong proof of my constancy, Like foggy south, puffing with wind and rain? Leaving his spoil perplex'd in greater pain. MDCCLXXXIV - "IONSOFSTRANGES" Is business of estate; in which we come On Fortinbras. He has my dying voice. Nay, there is some comfort in the news, some Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice Or by the break of day disguised from hence: For, as the case now stands, it is a curse Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence; That thou, Iago, who hast had my purse Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, And make them skirr away, as swift as stones Nor shall this peace sleep with her: but as when Go, count thy way with sighs; I mine with groans. Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, So strive upon your pulse. What, pale again? MDCCLXXXV - "HADOWSONYOUTEN" Hath sorted out a sudden day of joy, And question this most bloody piece of work, Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk When I do name him, let it be thy part Sister, content you in my discontent. O dearest soul! your cause doth strike my heart Not like a woman; for I would prevent Your breath of full consent bellied his sails; Of egal justice, used in such contempt? Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Establish him in his true sense again, No less! nay, bigger; women grow by men. MDCCLXXXVI - "DSINCEEVERYONE" Did ever Dian so become a grove Save thou, my rose; in it thou art my all. In thunder and in earthquake, like a Jove, Not to be pardon'd, am content withal. Cold statues of the youth, and, in a word, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, Yet, gracious madam, bear it as you may: O, you, my lord? by Mars his gauntlet, thanks! Nor mine, my lord: Cressid was here but now. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MDCCLXXXVII - "HATHEVERYONEON" How I have ever loved the life removed Absolute madness could so far have raved That does infect the land: with which they moved Had lived to put on this: so had you saved Exist, and be a member of his love Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Reprove my allegation, if you can; Yet once again, to make us public sport, Out of my way, unless he bid 'em; but No man alive can love in such a sort Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, No evil lost is wail'd when it is gone. MDCCLXXXVIII - "ESHADEANDYOUBU" Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Sirrah, what made your master in this place? Hang on her temples like a golden fleece; And I dare swear you borrow not that face Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike Now, good sweet nurse,--O Lord, why look'st thou sad? Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid You do unbend your noble strength, to think Of King Polixenes, it should here be laid, Under love's heavy burden do I sink. But, cousin, what if we assay'd to steal Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. MDCCLXXXIX - "TONECANEVERYSH" Their mercy at the price of one fair word; Out of mine own; his days and times are past Nay, if thou be that princely eagle's bird, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Come, come with me, and we will make short work; All our merry meetings on the plains, No higher than thyself; the judge's clerk, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Regard me as I do not flatter, and Yea, twice the sum: if that will not suffice, Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. MDCCXC - "ADOWLENDDESCRI" As praises, of whose taste the wise are fond, Deliver him to safety; and return, Of forfeiture, of justice and his bond. Why brother Rivers, are you yet to learn Let grow thy sinews till their knots be strong, Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Never, O never, do his ghost the wrong Did prophesy that Richmond should be king, Did, as a prophet, weep what it foresaw Else shall you not have any hand at all Should in the furthest east begin to draw Come, Clarence, come; thou wilt, if Warwick call. Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: I did present him with the Paris balls. MDCCXCI - "BEADONISANDTHE" Bak'd and impasted with the parching streets, Else would I very shortly see thee there. And, with a martial scorn, with one hand beats Did call my father, was I know not where O, they love least that let men know their love. Nay, after that, consume away in rust Indeed, 'tis true that Henry told me of; Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust, And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn, Not yet, my cousin: we would be resolved, Disguise us at my lodging and return, To make confession and to be absolved. He'll tell me all his purpose: sure, he'll come. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MDCCXCII - "COUNTERFEITISP" Come pentecost as quickly as it will, Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Under what colour he commits this ill. Nor pluck it from his finger, for the wealth True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings: Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Richer than that which four successive kings For beauty starved with her severity Each opposite that blanks the face of joy I prithee, daughter, do not make me mad. The one in fear to lose what they enjoy, I freely told you, all the wealth I had Speak softly, or the loss of those great towns Peace, you ungracious clamours! peace, rude sounds! MDCCXCIII - "OORLYIMITATEDA" O, that a mighty man of such descent, Or lay on that shall make your shoulders crack. Repair'd with double riches of content. Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, I'll to the Centaur, to go seek this slave: Might liquid tears or heart-offending groans If you will lead these graces to the grave This is not hunters' language: he that strikes Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth That noble minds keep ever with their likes; English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Debate it at their leisure. Welcome, count; As I all other in all worths surmount. MDCCXCIV - "FTERYOUONHELEN" For swallowing the treasure of the realm: That bore thee at a burden two fair sons: Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Your brother Richard mark'd him for the grave: Of many thousand kisses the poor last Upon my party! Thou cold-blooded slave, Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; Either they must be dieted like mules Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Namely, some love that drew him oft from home. MDCCXCV - "SCHEEKALLARTOF" Send out more horses; skirr the country round; Convey me to my bed, then to my grave: He tells me, my dear Gertrude, he hath found Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. Let us do so: for we are at the stake, Love is too young to know what conscience is; And thou art wedded to calamity. Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his To join your hearts in love and amity. O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost For forth he goes and visits all his host. MDCCXCVI - "BEAUTYSETANDYO" Became the next day's master, till the last Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set And since, methinks, I would not grow so fast, Upon their ancient malice will forget That ever spider twisted from her womb You may my glories and my state depose, Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom. Except it be to pray against thy foes. The young Dumain, a well-accomplished youth, And found it in thy cheek; he can afford Nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth Descend unto the daughter. Gracious lord, You must forsake this room, and go with us: O, torture me no more! I will confess. MDCCXCVII - "UINGRECIANTIRE" Upon whose leaves are drops of new-shed blood I'll draw it as apparent to the crown, Never came reformation in a flood, Guess thou the rest; King Edward's friends must down, Ready to catch each other by the throat, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Came he right now to sing a raven's note, If he improve them, may well stretch so far And all things change them to the contrary. Now stole upon the time the dead of night, Tell me thy reason why thou wilt marry. If I be so disgracious in your sight, Return of love, more blest may be the view; Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. MDCCXCVIII - "SAREPAINTEDNEW" She, in my judgment, was as fair as you: And there it is in writing fairly drawn. Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, And credent soul to that strong-bonded oath I shall have more than you can dream of yet; Now, as I can remember, by my troth, This staff of honour raught, there let it stand Expect him here: when he shall come and find Dear earth, I do salute thee with my hand, None can be call'd deform'd but the unkind: Each present lord began to promise aid, What trade, thou knave? thou naughty knave, what trade? MDCCXCIX - "SPEAKOFTHESPRI" Sit, gods, upon your thrones, and smile at Troy! Proud of employment, willingly I go. Each opposite that blanks the face of joy And corn shall fly asunder: for, I know, Knights of the garter were of noble birth, Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad, Flying between the cold moon and the earth, Thou black'st reproach against long-living laud, How ugly night comes breathing at his heels: Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Spurns at his love and scorns the heat he feels, Put pardon, father Nestor, were your days Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: If like a lamb he could his looks translate! MDCCC - "NGANDFOISONOFT" Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. A goodly humour, is it not, my lords? Never was seen so black a day as this: Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. Five hundred ducats, villain, for a rope? O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, I know I love in vain, strive against hope; So please your majesty, I would I could Of Herne the hunter, let us not forget. No, no; when Fortune means to men most good, O Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet! For, since the mortal and intestine jars Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. MDCCCI - "HEYEARTHEONEDO" Have banged the youth into dumbness. This was England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, You have not call'd me so, nor have you cause. Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? A thievish living on the common road? Rather than so, come fate into the list. That bottled spider, that foul bunch-back'd toad! Have faculty by nature to subsist; Expect him here: when he shall come and find O, but they say the tongues of dying men None can be call'd deform'd but the unkind: Establish him in his true sense again, Dissembling villain, thou speak'st false in both. One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. MDCCCII - "THSHADOWOFYOUR" To work my mind, when body's work's expired: His grace not being warn'd thereof before: She would to each one sip. You are retired, Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war And let Bianca take her sister's room. Doth speak of you, his cheek looks pale and with Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Which in the time of Henry named the Fifth Or else my kingdom stands on brittle glass. Follow me, then. Lord Helicane, a word. Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. Or had he 'scaped, methinks we should have heard Up Fish Street! down Saint Magnus' Corner! Kill Redeeming time when men think least I will. MDCCCIII - "BEAUTYSHOWTHEO" Because that John hath made his peace with Rome? Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. And is the bride and bridegroom coming home? Unless you have the grace by your fair prayer The bravest questant shrinks, find what you seek, You shall not go: one cannot speak a word, So, now go tell, an if thy tongue can speak, Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, What nearer debt in all humanity Thou art the cap of all the fools alive. Harry the Fifth is crown'd. Up, vanity: Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. O, I am ignorance itself in this! MDCCCIV - "THERASYOURBOUN" Thee I'll chase hence, thou wolf in sheep's array. Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Rather than render back, out with your knives, A light condition in a beauty dark. She throws forth Tarquin's name; 'He, he,' she says, You sent me to the bay, sir, for a bark. Of these thy compounds on such creatures as Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. Richard Plantagenet, my lord, will come: But to the earth some special good doth give, O, I could wish this tavern were my drum! Unbind my hands, I'll pull them off myself, Now in good time, here comes the duke himself. MDCCCV - "TYDOTHAPPEARAN" Then leave this chat; and, good Biron, now prove You know your own degrees; sit down: at first Did all the chivalry of England move Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. That Photinus an eunuch and your maids Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. And now loud-howling wolves arouse the jades Poor rogue hereditary. Hence, be gone! Pursue thy life, and live aye with thy name! Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? And in record, left them the heirs of shame. Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! And six or seven winters more respect Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect. MDCCCVI - "DYOUINEVERYBLE" Dissembling harlot, thou art false in all; Yourself, held precious in the world's esteem, O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Unless it be whilst some tormenting dream I doubt not, I, but we shall soon persuade Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. Each present lord began to promise aid, Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Either of king or council, when you went Richard the second here was hack'd to death; You know not what you do: do not consent But lusty, young, and cheerly drawing breath. Loyalty, something fears me to think of. Except thou wilt except against my love. MDCCCVII - "SSEDSHAPEWEKNO" Stand in the plague of custom, and permit Save base authority from others' books Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. See how the morning opes her golden gates, Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. According to the measure of their states. Pardon me, sweet one, even for the vows Either be gone before the watch be set, Whiles lions war and battle for their dens, Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, Now civil wounds are stopp'd, peace lives again: One knight loves both, and both in thee remain. MDCCCVIII - "WINALLEXTERNAL" Whom thou wert sworn to cherish and defend. Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts. Nothing but odds with England: to that end, And make him proud to make me proud that jests! Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Lo, here upon thy cheek the stain doth sit Ere you can take due orders for a priest: eXcept a sword or sceptre balance it: This reprobate till he were well inclined; Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Nay, to thy mere confusion, thou shalt know And situation with those dancing chips, Let me my service tender on your lips. MDCCCIX - "GRACEYOUHAVESO" Give him that parting kiss which I had set Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? And many maiden gardens yet unset Come, make him stand upon this molehill here, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? O, on my soul, my cousin is belied! Unto the lodging where I first did swoon? Have moved his highness to commit me now. Away, away, good William de la Pole! Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Suddenly made him from my side to start O Clifford, how thy words revive my heart! MDCCCX - "MEPARTBUTYOULI" Madam, it will not lie where it concerns Establish him in his true sense again, Pray, set it down and rest you: when this burns, As if the world should cleave, and that slain men Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Thou hast undone thyself, thy son and me; But qualify the fire's extreme rage, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, This neighbour air, and let rich music's tongue Your party in converse, him you would sound, O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Uproar the universal peace, confound Lean penury within that pen doth dwell I will not trouble thee, my child; farewell. MDCCCXI - "KENONENONEYOUF" Kate, eat apace. And now, my honey love, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near No more than I am well acquitted of. O, 'twas a din to fright a monster's ear, Now, Falstaff, where have you been all this while? Effect it with some care, that he may prove Now, good my lord, lie here and rest awhile. Or were I deaf, thy outward parts would move Nature dispenses with the deed so far Every man shift for all the rest, and You shall be yet far fairer than you are. One that attends your ladyship's command. Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; For, if you should, O, what would come of it! MDCCCXII - "ORCONSTANTHEAR" O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Cousin, farewell: no further go in this Of health and living now begins to mend, Nor pluck it from his finger, for the wealth She will not stay the siege of loving terms, To see her noble lord restor'd to health, And ring these fingers with thy household worms Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? These words like daggers enter in mine ears. He will seek there, on my word. Neither press, Environed with all these hideous fears? And for I know she taketh most delight Receive thy lance; and God defend the right! MDCCCXIII - "TOHOWMUCHMORED" They would not mark me, or if they did mark, Of old Andronicus. And what an if Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff Which any print of goodness wilt not take, More that I may call men than you, good friend, Upon my party, I'ld revolt to make Can be at once, shall step by step attend Herself most chastely absent: after this, Madam, an if my brother had my shape, O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Rome will despise her for this foul escape. Every man shift for all the rest, and Darraign your battle, for they are at hand. MDCCCXIV - "OTHBEAUTYBEAUT" O earth, which this blood drink'st revenge his death! Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north He came in thunder; his celestial breath By magot-pies and choughs and rooks brought forth Ere I could make thee open thy white hand And, being credulous in this mad thought, Up- so. How is't? Feel you your legs? You stand. The forlorn soldier, that so nobly fought, Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt, Beseeching thee, if with they will it stands Empale him with your weapons round about; And bids thee study on what fair demands Unto his several mistress, which they'll know These but the trappings and the suits of woe. MDCCCXV - "EOUSSEEMBYTHAT" Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, O, he sits high in all the people's hearts: Under love's heavy burden do I sink. Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: Since you are strangers and come here by chance, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Misprising what they look on, and her wit Betwixt the wind and his nobility. Your infants in your arms, and there have sat The napless vesture of humility; Here in my scabbard, meditating that And bring me their opinions of success. To leave the Talbot and to follow us. MDCCCXVI - "SWEETORNAMENTW" So, at his bloody view, her eyes are fled Which too untimely here did scorn the earth. England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Ever to conquer, and to have his worth To wash this blood off from my guilty hand: O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? Regard me as I do not flatter, and Never, before this day, in all his life. And lookest to command the prince and realm. My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw To fetch me trifles, and return again, Which is that god in office, guiding men? MDCCCXVII - "HICHTRUTHDOTHG" How earnestly they knock! Pray you, come in: Is this thy cunning, thou deceitful dame? Come, lady, I will show thee to my kin; He is unqualitied with very shame. That sport best pleases that doth least know how: Reprove my allegation, if you can; Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. They surfeited with honey and began His secret murders sticking on his hands; Do it in hope of fair advantages: On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, To match with her that brings no vantages. Hast thou, according to thy oath and band, Good morrow, fairest: sister, your sweet hand. MDCCCXVIII - "IVETHEROSELOOK" If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Even like a man new haled from the rack, The very tyranny and rage of his. His daughter's trial! that he did but see Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. Recking as little what betideth me Of both your armies; whose equality She's a witch; forbade her my house and hath Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Let my presumption not provoke thy wrath; Out of my way, unless he bid 'em; but Only to stick it in their children's sight Know him in us, that here hold up his right. MDCCCXIX - "SFAIRBUTFAIRER" Stand by my side, you whom the gods have made Full of vexation come I, with complaint And childish error, that they are afraid; I did suppose it should be on constraint: Ready to catch each other by the throat, Better forbear till Proteus make return. Unless the fear of death doth make me dote, That you have no such mirrors as will turn Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose And perfected by the swift course of time. In thine own person answer thy abuse. Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. MDCCCXX - "WEITDEEMFORTHA" Wave thus, to express his disposition, Expecting in return twenty for one? I would not my unhoused free condition Take honour from me, and my life is done: Do I put up that womanly defence, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; My liege, your highness now may do me good. For man or master. Then it follows thus: O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Then, England's messenger, return in post, He rouseth up himself and makes a pause; And with the same to act controlling laws. MDCCCXXI - "TSWEETODOURWHI" To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. Such as I am: though for myself alone Which they upon the adverse party want. Enough to purchase what you have made known. Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time The noble Westmoreland and warlike Blunt; Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Do not cry havoc, where you should but hunt Or else my heart, concealing it, will break; Unless by robbing of your friends and us. Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Where kings command. I was, I must confess, His foes are so enrooted with his friends I'll kiss each several paper for amends. MDCCCXXII - "CHDOTHINITLIVE" Crowns in my purse I have, and goods at home, Having bought love with such a bloody spoil. Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, Of proofs new-bleeding, which remain'd the foil To know for what he comes, and whence he comes, How I came by the crown, O God, forgive; I doubt whether their legs be worth the sums No longer yours than you yourself here live: It is not so; thou hast misspoke, misheard: Turn all to the best! These proclamations, Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word I know they are stuff'd with protestations Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MDCCCXXIII - "THECANKERBLOOM" Till that, I'll view the manners of the town, Have I affected wealth or honour? speak. Enow to press a royal merchant down Count Claudio, whom you sent me to seek. A very valiant rebel of the name. Nurture can never stick; on whom my pains, King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: But treasons capital, confess'd and proved, Lives not this day within the city walls: O, 'tis the curse in love, and still approved, Oft have I heard of sanctuary men; Making another head to fight again. MDCCCXXIV - "SHAVEFULLASDEE" Such duty as the subject owes the prince, He that takes that doth take my heart withal. And flourish'd after, I'ld not do't; but since Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Else you may be marvellously mistook. For he can do no more than Caesar's arm Under an osier growing by a brook, Like to a tenement or pelting farm: Letters of commendations to the king. And, proud of many, lives upon his gains. Strangle such thoughts as these with any thing Destroy'd his country, and his name remains Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. MDCCCXXV - "PADYEASTHEPERF" Paler for sorrow than her milk-white dove, And when my uncle told me so, he wept, Did ever Dian so become a grove Yes, my lord, yes; he at Philippi kept Each cheek a river running from a fount And he is yours, and his must needs be yours: Shall touch the people--which time shall not want, The mere despair of surgery, he cures, His noble friends and fellows, whom to leave Eleanor, the law, thou see'st, hath judged thee: Playing the place which did no form receive, Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. Follow me close; I'll bring you to't. Adieu. MDCCCXXVI - "UMEDTINCTUREOF" Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, Madam, your mother craves a word with you. Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Dies in his own too-much. That we would do, Thou antic death, which laugh'st us here to scorn, I pray you, will you take him by the arm? Nothing so sure; and thereby all forsworn. Cannot a plain man live and think no harm, That, in regard King Henry gives consent, Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Order the trial, marshal, and begin. For his approach, that often there had been. MDCCCXXVII - "THEROSESHANGON" Thou hate and terror to prosperity, He'll make demand of her, and spend that kiss Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Of those that turn'd their backs, and in his flight, Sir, I propose not merely to myself Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Stands here for God, his sovereign and himself, Hangs one that gathers sampire- dreadful trade! As subject to Time's love or to Time's hate, Never was such a sudden scholar made; Get me an iron crow, and bring it straight Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars No, good madam; I will not out of doors. MDCCCXXVIII - "SUCHTHORNSANDP" So seems this gorgeous beauty to mine eyes. Unless by robbing of your friends and us. Conjecture, expectation, and surmise Hath he deserved to lose his birthright thus? To-morrow toward London back again, Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Of great Apollo's priest; and that, since then, Remaining in the coffer of her friends, Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, So many journeys may the sun and moon Alas, I am the mother of these moans! Nay, Gloucester, know that thou art come too soon, Dream. Here, here, here be my keys: ascend my Persuade this rude wretch willingly to die. MDCCCXXIX - "LAYASWANTONLYW" Let's want no discipline, make no delay, And from her fair and unpolluted flesh Young Edward lives: think now what I would say. As vaded gloss no rubbing will refresh, Swifter than arrow from the Tartar's bow. What, marry, may she! marry with a king, And from thy hated presence part I so: Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; To give each naked curtle-axe a stain, Offers, as I do, in a sign of peace, Now fear I this will give it start again; Like to the earth swallow her own increase. Your exposition on the holy text Well, bury him, and bury me the next. MDCCCXXX - "HENSUMMERSBREA" He was a king bless'd of the King of kings. Effect it with some care, that he may prove No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings So thou be good, slander doth but approve Upon my party! Thou cold-blooded slave, My desolation does begin to make Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave England we love; and for that England's sake Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Shall rust upon my weapon, till thy blood, But look'd not on the poison of their hearts : Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Either of king or council, when you went And made a preachment of your high descent? MDCCCXXXI - "THTHEIRMASKEDB" To take that course by your consent and voice, How chance the roses there do fade so fast? To strive for that which resteth in my choice. Had fasten'd him unto a small spare mast, Each changing place with that which goes before, It is the bloody business which informs Religious in mine error, I adore Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms! As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, So much, dear liege, I have already sworn, Kneel down and take my blessing, good my girl. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: But are not some whole that we must make sick? MDCCCXXXII - "UDSDISCLOSESBU" Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs; Death: her death itself, which could not be her Some that will evermore peep through their eyes Dat is as it sall please de roi mon pere. I would your grace would take me with you: whom Stay, give me drink. Hamlet, this pearl is thine; Could I with boot change for an idle plume, Let Henry fret and all the world repine. Of such as have before endured the like. Shall, whiles thy head is warm and new cut off, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough But much of grief shows still some want of wit. Until the queen his mistress bury it. MDCCCXXXIII - "TFORTHEIRVIRTU" The agent of thy foul inconstancy, From any private malice in his end, Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy, Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne, He wrings her nose, he strikes her on the cheeks, Enough to purchase what you have made known. I love thee, and it is my love that speaks-- Remember so weak a composition. Values itself so highly that to her I would not my unhoused free condition Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Thus time we waste, and longest leagues make short; Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? MDCCCXXXIV - "EONLYISTHEIRSH" Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Other, if she will not discover it. Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! Let him but copy what in you is writ, Yet I express to you a mother's care: I should report that which I say I saw, So thou destroy Rapine and Murder there. The lion dying thrusteth forth his paw, His foot Mercurial; his Martial thigh; Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. If this, or more than this, I would deny, Rome shall record, and when I do forget So do not I: go, coward as thou art. He lies not like the living. O my heart! MDCCCXXXV - "OWTHEYLIVEUNWO" One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast. That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke Harp not on that string, madam; that is past. Except some petty towns of no import: Yes, as an outlaw in a castle keeps Lesser his person than an ill report; It he is to sojourn with you? How creeps Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Either to die the death or to abjure Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Nor dare to know that which I know. O sir! Will soon recover his accustom'd health. Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. MDCCCXXXVI - "ODANDUNRESPECT" Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? And not the puddle in thy sea dispersed. Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Depart again: here, here will I remain Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Nature should be so conversant with pain, Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Smile with an austere regard of control,-- Peaceful commerce from dividable shores, Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Comfort, dear mother: God is much displeased These Kentish rebels would be soon appeased! MDCCCXXXVII - "EDFADEDIETOTHE" Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Devise but how you'll use him when he comes, For 'tis a studied, not a present thought, A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! Do not as some ungracious pastors do, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Drugs poison him that so fell sick of you. Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains, Establish him in his true sense again, To draw the cloud that hides the silver moon. Or that or any place that harbours men. Than you expect: unseal this letter soon; How came her eyes so bright? Not with salt tears: Environed with all these hideous fears? MDCCCXXXVIII - "MSELVESSWEETRO" Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, Each jealous of the other, as the stung Live where their prayers did: and it's come to pass, Values itself so highly that to her Expire before the flowers in their caps, Since you did leave it for my office, sir. Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps. Which yet from her by no means can I get. English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, O ceremony, show me but thy worth! MDCCCXXXIX - "SESDONOTSOOFTH" Some good man bear him carefully from hence; Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence; Denies that saying. Sirrah, what say you? O perjured woman! They are both forsworn: Now I begin to relish thy advice; Or the hard rein which both of them have borne The labour of each knight in his device. Show scarce so gross as beetles. Halfway down Only thus much I give your grace to know: Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Fann'd with the eastern wind, turns to a crow The swiftest harts have posted you by land; Here, Winchester, I offer thee my hand. MDCCCXL - "EIRSWEETDEATHS" Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, I speak too long; but 'tis to peize the time, Remove you hence. I knew you at the first Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. What thou dost foist upon us that is old, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Thus are my blossoms blasted in the bud Dear heart, forbear to glance thine eye aside: Except a sword or sceptre balance it: And when in his fair parts she did abide, There is the playhouse now, there must you sit: How insolent of late he is become, Shallow. A better instance, I say; come. MDCCCXLI - "ARESWEETESTODO" Against all sense you do importune her: Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Either to die the death or to abjure Should not be utter'd feebly. It is held We do instate and widow you withal, Enter, and cry 'The Dauphin!' presently, Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Excepting one, I would he were the best Say, if my father render fair return, That blow did that it from the deep unrest Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, Doth much excuse the appertaining rage O, pity, God, this miserable age! MDCCCXLII - "URSMADEANDSOOF" Unto another lady of esteem: Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. See, here he comes, and I must ply my theme. My poverty, but not my will, consents. And very well appointed, as I thought, During the life, let us not wrong it dead. Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought And made her widow to a woful bed? Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Do kiss the most exalted shores of all. Show a fair presence and put off these frowns, O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Of Nature's gifts thou mayst with lilies boast, For forth he goes and visits all his host. MDCCCXLIII - "YOUBEAUTEOUSAN" Your Majesty hath been this fortnight ill; Of Herne the hunter, let us not forget. Urging the worser sense for vantage still; But that my heart's on future mischief set, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Ay, noble uncle, thus ignobly used, Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: The noble duke hath been too much abused. Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Spurn at his edict and fulfil a man's? And I with him; for he hath done me wrong. Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! MDCCCXLIV - "DLOVELYYOUTHWH" Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! Values itself so highly that to her Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods, Yet, I remember, when I was in France, Yields up his life unto a world of odds: O Antony, beg not your death of us. Upon mine honour, he shall never know That likewise have we thought upon, and thus: Her mother hath many times told me so. Weeping and wailing over Tybalt's corse: How fondly dost thou spur a forward horse! MDCCCXLV - "ENTHATSHALLFAD" Every man shift for all the rest, and Never, O never shall I see more joy! Thence comes it that my name receives a brand, He hears naught privately that comes from Troy. And, by the grace of God and this mine arm, The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. He breathes, my lord. Were he not warm'd with ale, And at my suit, sweet, pardon what is past. Levy great sums of money through the realm Let us come in, that we may bind him fast Fortune and victory sit on thy helm! Ay, by my faith, that bears a frosty sound. Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? MDCCCXLVI - "EMYVERSEDISTIL" Either thou art most ignorant by age, Merry. Now, good Peter Quince, call forth your Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Establish him in his true sense again, Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Say I do speak with her, my lord, what then? Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, I hazarded the loss of whom I loved. So longest way shall have the longest moans. Then happy I, that love and am beloved I mean your malice, know, officious lords, Let them want nothing that my house affords. MDCCCXLVII - "LSYOURTRUTHNOT" Let's choose executors and talk of wills: Show me, my women, like a queen: go fetch Yea, distaff-women manage rusty bills O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard: Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Though the great bulk Achilles be thy guard, Reviving blood, and that great men shall press Upon offenders, hath exceeded law, The spring, the head, the fountain of your blood How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, Nothing at all: it is a highwrought flood; Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, To wear a kerchief! Would you were not sick! MDCCCXLVIII - "MARBLENORTHEGI" May all to Athens back again repair And for alliance sake, declare the cause Rather than have that savage duke thine heir But let him from my thoughts. What think you, coz, Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Now when the lords and barons of the realm O gentle Proteus, Love's a mighty lord, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome; He is no woodman that doth bend his bow Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son.- I will speak daggers to her, but use none. MDCCCXLIX - "LDEDMONUMENTSO" Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck Devoutly to be wish'd. To die- to sleep. Each in his office ready at thy beck. Drunk me would have bought me lights as good cheap My royal father, cheer these noble lords O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, My wedded lord, I ne'er shall see again, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Nature should be so conversant with pain, There, where your argosies with portly sail, Shall more obey than to the edge of steel Of thy devotion and right Christian zeal. MDCCCL - "FPRINCESSHALLO" For all my reign hath been but as a scene Prosper this realm, keep it from civil broils, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; No, no; when Fortune means to men most good, Come hither, boy: ask me this slave in French Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench Soft! take thy physic first--thou too--and thou;-- He burns with bashful shame: she with her tears And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now! Let me be thought too busy in my fears-- Left there round turrets destitute and pale. Or else his head's assurance is but frail. MDCCCLI - "UTLIVETHISPOWE" Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. To put good meat into an unclean dish. Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. I would not be ambitious in my wish, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Empale him with your weapons round about; To let the troop pass fairly; or I'll find Have you not made an universal shout, I think you are all mated or stark mad. Shall have my pocket picked? I have lost a Past reason hunted, and no sooner had Out of thy sleep. What is it thou didst say? When he hath ceased his ill-resounding noise, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. MDCCCLII - "RFULRHYMEBUTYO" Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: For Edward my son, which was Prince of Wales, Unto the king be by, and then his state Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. Rely upon it till my tale be heard, How now, Signior Launce! what news with your You shall not go: one cannot speak a word, Much like a press of people at a door, Early and late, debating to and fro But praying, to enrich his watchful soul: Up, cousin, up; your heart is up, I know, The country cocks do crow, the clocks do toll, Yes, my lord, yes; he at Philippi kept Or, when you wak'd, so wak'd as if you slept. MDCCCLIII - "USHALLSHINEMOR" Under these hard conditions as this time Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, Hell only danceth at so harsh a chime. And fawn on rage with base humility, Let my unsounded self, supposed a fool, Let fair humanity abhor the deed Suffer't, and live with such as cannot rule He has his health and ampler strength indeed It is as fat and fulsome to mine ear Now, quiet soul, depart when heaven please, Even or odd, of all days in the year, Men, more divine, the masters of all these, Our archers shall be placed in the midst Rather than so, come fate into the list. MDCCCLIV - "EBRIGHTINTHESE" Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, By foul play, as thou say'st, were we heaved thence, Return, return, and make thy love amends. I pray you take me up, and bear me hence Give warning to the world that I am fled How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, That all the world besides methinks are dead. Is telling you that I am poor of thanks Nature in you stands on the very verge That should be in a Roman you do want, He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge Each cheek a river running from a fount Shall do and undo as him pleaseth best. Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MDCCCLV - "CONTENTSTHANUN" Cousin, farewell: what presence must not know, O insupportable and touching loss! Nay, hear you, Kate- in sooth, you scape not so. To him that bears the strong offence's cross. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, The mere despair of surgery, he cures, So to enforce or qualify the laws Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily. Hold, Clifford! do not honour him so much A Roman now adopted happily, No glory lives behind the back of such. Unless the master were the man. How now! Nor wittingly have I infringed my vow. MDCCCLVI - "SWEPTSTONEBESM" So distribution should undo excess, What torment I did find thee in; thy groans Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Poor wasting monuments of lasting moans. To spite a raven's heart within a dove. She shall undo her credit with the Moor. This evening, on the east side of the grove. Or stones whose rates are either rich or poor Now, how dost thou look now? O ill-starr'd wench! Edward the Third, he bids you then resign But when he frown'd, it was against the French Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Stigmatical in making, worse in mind. My grief lies onward and my joy behind. MDCCCLVII - "EARDWITHSLUTTI" Expect him here: when he shall come and find And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is. Which would be worn now in their newest gloss, Instead whereof let this supply the room: That very envy and the tongue of loss How if, when I am laid into the tomb, Sent your worship a morning's draught of sack. Long live Lord Titus, my beloved brother, Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: Thus will I fold them one on another: To kindle their dry stubble; and their blaze In courtesy gives undeserving praise. MDCCCLVIII - "SHTIMEWHENWAST" Shall touch the people--which time shall not want, Here you shall see a countryman of yours To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Madam, have comfort: all of us have cause Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks When love, converted from the thing it was, How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, Even like a man new haled from the rack, No sooner had they told this hellish tale, Who finds his Lucrece clad in mourning black: As from a mountain-spring that feeds a dale, Stigmatical in making, worse in mind. Thou losest here, a better where to find. MDCCCLIX - "EFULWARSHALLST" Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, From earth's dark womb some gentle gust doth get, Under his own vine, what he plants; and sing Let not the piece of virtue, which is set We may the number of the ships behold, And your unblest fate hies: strumpet, I come. Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Shall I Sir Pandarus of Troy become, Had all your quarters been as safely kept And place my merit in the eye of scorn, Laugh'd in his face; and when with grief he wept, Lest she should steal a kiss and die forsworn. Sir Walter Blunt, new lighted from his horse. Than I by letters shall direct your course. MDCCCLX - "ATUESOVERTURNA" Arise, black vengeance, from thy hollow cell! To be entangled with those mouth-made vows, Unready! ay, and glad we 'scaped so well. Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows She made good view of me; indeed, so much, One day too late, I fear me, noble lord, Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, The lining of his coffers shall make coats Unless the master were the man. How now! Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: Now, brother king, farewell, and sit you fast, Ay, grief, I fear me, both at first and last. MDCCCLXI - "NDBROILSROOTOU" No, no; when Fortune means to men most good, Despoiled of your honour in your life, But I shall do thee mischief in the wood. Richard, thy wife, that wretched Anne thy wife, O, in a tomb where never scandal slept, I pray you, stay not, but in haste to horse. Laugh'd in his face; and when with grief he wept, Shall then my father's will be of no force Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? O god of love! I know he doth deserve O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Then, York, be still awhile, till time do serve: O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. MDCCCLXII - "TTHEWORKOFMASO" To carry that which I would have refused, To run upon the sharp wind of the north, How were they lost? what treachery was used? English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, What, stand'st thou idle here? lend me thy sword: Out of my sight! thou dost infect my eyes. Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise Of public honour and proud titles boast, Farewell; be trusty, and I'll quit thy pains: My gracious sovereign, on the western coast As love is full of unbefitting strains, She will attend it better in thy youth Of no allowance to your bosom's truth. MDCCCLXIII - "NRYNORMARSHISS" Nay, do not struggle, for thou shalt not rise: Rising and cawing at the gun's report, You have in that forsworn the use of eyes No, my good Lord; he hath forsook the court, O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid My haste is very great: farewell; hie home. All you that see her, that she were a maid, Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes He is, my lord, and safe in Leicester town; If that your moody discontented souls So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, Still live they and for ever may they last! MDCCCLXIV - "WORDNORWARSQUI" When I bestrid thee in the wars and took O passing traitor, perjured and unjust! Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; Nor what is mine shall never do thee good: Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Which in the scuffles of great fights hath burst And, in conclusion, to oppose the bolt Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Should seek a plaster by contemn'd revolt, Quicken'd with youthful spleen and warlike rage, Upon the winds command, bind them in brass, If thou art changed to aught, 'tis to an ass. MDCCCLXV - "CKFIRESHALLBUR" Come hither, man. I see that thou art poor: Keep in your bosom: yet remain assured Four; and, with a word, out-faced you from your I grieve to hear what torments you endured, Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. And I with him; for he hath done me wrong. Lend me thy hand, and I will give thee mine. Let life be short; else shame will be too long. Being but fourth of that heroic line. Undoing all, as all had never been! Reward to him that brings the traitor in? MDCCCLXVI - "NTHELIVINGRECO" No word like 'pardon' for kings' mouths so meet. Therefore thy earliness doth me assure How many make the hour full complete; Exposing what is mortal and unsure Let him not know't, and he's not robb'd at all. If I speak true! if hollowly, invert Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert; Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, Good day, my lord. What, at your book so hard? Rather than so, come fate into the list. Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Commanded always by the greater gust; On whom it will not, so; yet still 'tis just. MDCCCLXVII - "RDOFYOURMEMORY" Reveals before 'tis ripe, what thou dost know Doth my name lodge? tell me, that I may sack O short-lived pride! Not fair? alack for woe! Fronting the sun, receives and renders back Your hearts of sorrow and your eyes of tears: On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Until four hundred one and twenty years Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift My wife, not meanly proud of two such boys, Engaging and redeeming of himself My mouth no more were broken than these boys', O, no! alas, I rather hate myself Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Younger than she are happy mothers made. MDCCCLXVIII - "GAINSTDEATHAND" Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past: And now do I bethink me, so it is,-- I cannot tell; I make it breed as fast: Now in the rearward comes the duke and his: Sovereign, here lies the County Paris slain; The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, And we are barren and bereft of friends; The skilful shepherd peel'd me certain wands, Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's And will again commit them to their bonds, Nothing, sweet boy; but yet, like prayers divine, Dispose of them, of me; the walls are thine. MDCCCLXIX - "ALLOBLIVIOUSEN" As salt as wolves in pride, and fools as gross Like to a harvest-man that's task'd to mow Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: Or will not else thy craft so quickly grow, But fear not thou, until thy foot be snared, Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve I came before you here a man prepared Verona, for a while I take my leave, It eats the sword it fights with. I will seek O sweet Maria, empress of my love! Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. She'll none o' the count: she'll not match above Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Nor mine, my lord: Cressid was here but now. MDCCCLXX - "MITYSHALLYOUPA" Meantime, forget this new-fall'n dignity, If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert; They will digest this harsh indignity. You less know how to value her desert Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, And knows not how to do it but with tears. Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word Large sums of gold and dowries with their wives: Your right of birth, your empery, your own. O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Until their greater pleasures first be known Presume not that I am the thing I was, Alas the day! I never gave him cause. MDCCCLXXI - "CEFORTHYOURPRA" Came short of composition, but in chief Else had she with her father rang'd along. For nothing had begot my something grief; Or keep him from heart-easing words so long, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood The King is mad. How stiff is my vile sense, Her;' and where some stretch-mouthed rascal would, Yet with the fault I thus far can dispense; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife: Pardon me, sweet one, even for the vows Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. Ay, madam, with the swiftest wing of speed. MDCCCLXXII - "ISESHALLSTILLF" Into the purse of rich prosperity Say what I think of it, since I have found Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Stops on a sudden, looks upon the ground, His over-mounting spirit, and there died, A pair of bleeding-hearts; thereon engrave Love to myself and to no love beside. Let him have time a beggar's orts to crave, Since I first call'd my brother's father dad. Till then, adieu; and keep this holy kiss. I cannot but be sad; so heavy sad Let me, upon my knee, prevail in this. Lo, he is tilting straight! Peace! I have done. Fall, when Love please! marry, to each, but one! MDCCCLXXIII - "INDROOMEVENINT" I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw. Now is that noble vessel full of grief, Did, as a prophet, weep what it foresaw Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. Out of thy sleep. What is it thou didst say? Must murder wives much better than themselves Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Values itself so highly that to her Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Nor, I'll assure you, better taken, sir. I do, my lord; and in her eye I find Now puts the drowsy and neglected act They say, poor gentleman, he's much distract. MDCCCLXXIV - "HEEYESOFALLPOS" How that the guilty kindred of the queen Early and late, debating to and fro Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, You shall know all that you are like to know. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. So much, dear liege, I have already sworn, O, that's as much as you would be denied For this I shall have time enough to mourn. Arm, arm, my lord; the foe vaunts in the field. Laughest thou, wretch? thy mirth shall turn to moan. Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, Pardon me, sir, the boldness is mine own O good Horatio, what a wounded name Stand in his face to contradict his claim. MDCCCLXXV - "TERITYTHATWEAR" Than this is all as true as it is strange: Each in his office ready at thy beck. Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, I took a costly jewel from my neck, The manage of my state; as at that time Your worth is very dear in my regard. The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, He took me by the wrist and held me hard; And not protract with admiration what The life, the right and truth of all this realm Which does mend nature, change it rather, but Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Abate thy valour in the acting it. Repair hither and say you are not fit. MDCCCLXXVI - "THISWORLDOUTTO" These dangerous unsafe lunes i' the king, Hanging a golden stamp about their necks, I will requite you with as good a thing; So much against the mettle of your sex, Whether I live or die, be you the sons O, will you eat no grapes, my royal fox? Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Did all the chivalry of England move Of my lord's tricks and yours when you were boys: Unless good counsel may the cause remove. These antique fables, nor these fairy toys. That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds? O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! MDCCCLXXVII - "THEENDINGDOOMS" That for a toy, a thing of no regard, His present reconciliation take; Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make No, when my father York and Edward wept, Did come to languish; and, indeed, my lord, It is religion that doth make vows kept; Now sits the wind fair, and we will aboard. Give even way unto my rough affairs; Despite of suit, to see a lady's face. Or by his foe surprised at unawares: O, how the channel to the stream gave grace! Marry, for that she's in a wrong belief, She is not for your turn, the more my grief. MDCCCLXXVIII - "OTILLTHEJUDGME" Of pain: nay, we must think men are not gods, Then I degraded you from being king, I am content that he shall take the odds Lives so in hope, as in an early spring Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Therefore if you my favour mean to get, How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Judge me the world, if 'tis not gross in sense Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Do so. This jest shall cost me some expense. Go, count thy way with sighs; I mine with groans. Man: thou shouldst neither want my means for thy Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MDCCCLXXIX - "NTTHATYOURSELF" No, foolish tribune, no; no son of mine, That have afflictions on them, knowing 'tis Thy never-conquer'd fort: the fault is thine, He is no less than what we say he is. As fancy values them; but with true prayers The age to come would say 'This poet lies: Your eyes do make no coaches; in your tears O, I will to him and pluck out his eyes! Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Let me be no assistant for a state, For any suit of pounds; and you, O fate! MDCCCLXXX - "ARISEYOULIVEIN" Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels, Rest on my word, and let not discontent Is very snow-broth; one who never feels So shall each lord of Greece, from tent to tent: End in one purpose, and be all well borne Your precious self had then not cross'd the eyes O perjured woman! They are both forsworn: Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs; Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, I hope this reason stands for my excuse. Values itself so highly that to her Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. It is impossible that ever Rome Namely, some love that drew him oft from home. MDCCCLXXXI - "THISANDDWELLIN" The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish Hath heard your praises; and this night he means I cry you mercy, sir; and well could wish Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? And therein do account myself well paid: Never sees horrid night, the child of hell, Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid Did young Lorenzo swear he loved her well, With their superfluous riots, hear these tears! Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Let them be free, marry them to your heirs? Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, I will converse with iron-witted fools Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. MDCCCLXXXII - "LOVERSEYESSWEE" Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Even for this let us divided live, Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, Stand by my side, you whom the gods have made Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast You would have been contracted to a maid; England, impatient of your just demands, Subject, makes old hearts fresh: they that went on Seek you to seize and gripe into your hands Which in my childhood I did dote upon; Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Even in the presence of the crowned king. MDCCCLXXXIII - "TLOVERENEWTHYF" This same should be the voice of Friar John. Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, Of this discourse we more will hear anon. Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Reward to him that brings the traitor in? End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Nor shall this peace sleep with her: but as when Ere you can take due orders for a priest: What nearer debt in all humanity That ever holds: who riseth from a feast Harry the Fifth is crown'd. Up, vanity: York lies; he might have sent and had the horse; For wise men say it is the wisest course. MDCCCLXXXIV - "ORCEBEITNOTSAI" O, God defend my soul from such deep sin! Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Cousin, throw up your gage; do you begin. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. But, gentle people, give me aim awhile, Except some petty towns of no import: I say, by sorcery he got this isle; To calm this tempest whirling in the court; Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw O, take her home, mistress, take her home: these To thrust his icy fingers in my maw, Such men as he be never at heart's ease And your great love to me restrains you thus: I think he will stand very strong with us. MDCCCLXXXV - "DTHYEDGESHOULD" Disguise the holy strength of their command, To the hot passion of distemper'd blood Have made them mules, silenced their pleaders and Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Either of king or council, when you went Did I impale him with the regal crown? God hold it, to your honour's good content! Enow to press a royal merchant down So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. How white and red each other did destroy! Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove: Under her other was the tender boy, Look on the tragic loading of this bed; Doth make them droop with grief and hang the head. MDCCCLXXXVI - "BLUNTERBETHANA" Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb? Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Now, my good sweet honey lord, ride with us The little number of your doubtful friends. Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Return, return, and make thy love amends. But let desert in pure election shine, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Tell him, the daughter of the King of France, He on her belly falls, she on her back. Awaked the sleeping rheum, and so by chance No further halting: satisfy me home And with loud 'larums welcome them to Rome. MDCCCLXXXVII - "PPETITEWHICHBU" Poor wounded name! my bosom as a bed Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind, England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Though no man be assur'd what grace to find, I will be brief, for my short date of breath Than bring a burthen of dishonour home Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? With the most boldest and best hearts of Rome. He sought to murder: but her better stars I shall have share in this most happy wreck. Come, let us go: we will include all jars Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, By my halidom, I was fast asleep. Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. MDCCCLXXXVIII - "TTODAYBYFEEDIN" Till famine cling thee: if thy speech be sooth, To steel a strong opinion to themselves? Of strong prevailment in unharden'd youth: Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves! And have prevail'd as much on him as you. Your mere enforcement shall acquittance me But this one word, whether thy tale be true. Yield to my hand; my hand shall conquer thee: Fly not; stand stiff: ambition's debt is paid. Either of king or council, when you went Each present lord began to promise aid, Dear sir, to my endeavours give consent; In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; No evil lost is wail'd when it is gone. MDCCCLXXXIX - "GISALLAYDTOMOR" Good night and welcome, both at once, to those In the remorseless wrinkles of his face; Shaking the bloody fingers of thy foes, And homeward through the dark laund runs apace; Let this be granted, and Achilles' horse Like Amazons come tripping after drums, And gentle, kind, effeminate remorse, You shall hear. As good luck would have it, comes Doth fat me with the very thoughts of it! Their minds may change. Besides, it were a mock Only shape thou thy silence to my wit. Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. MDCCCXC - "ROWSHARPENDINH" Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. O, but remember this another day, Was this fair paper, this most goodly book, Some twine about her thigh to make her stay: His wonted sleep under a fresh tree's shade, As Anna to the Queen of Carthage was- Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Patience is scottish, and impatience does Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Never's my day, and then a kiss of you. Door would speak with you: he says he comes from I may have welcome 'mongst the rest that woo, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; His folly to the mettle of my speech? MDCCCXCI - "ISFORMERMIGHTS" I was adopted heir by his consent: Shall braying trumpets and loud churlish drums, From all direction, purpose, course, intent: O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! Each present lord began to promise aid, Resolve your angry father, if my tongue May time disgrace and wretched minutes kill. I have perform'd my task and was espoused: Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill His own conceiving.--Hark, the game is roused! To the ambassadors of England gives So is it in the music of men's lives. MDCCCXCII - "OLOVEBETHOUALT" O, let me think on Hastings, and be gone Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Born in a tempest, when my mother died, Exampled by the first pace that is sick That stands upon the swell at full of tide, He shall submit, or I will never yield. Of proofs new-bleeding, which remain'd the foil Upon the left hand of the even field. And flesh his spirit in a warlike soil, Lest he that is the supreme King of kings Therefore no more of it: hear other things. MDCCCXCIII - "HOUGHTODAYTHOU" His fame lives in the world, his shame in you. Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease; Uncle, farewell: and, cousin too, adieu: Gone to be married! gone to swear a peace! He's more secure to keep it shut than shown: Thus far into the bowels of the land Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Darraign your battle, for they are at hand. All the occurrence of my fortune since Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. To crown himself king and suppress the prince. How were I then uplifted! but, alas! Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease; Upon the next live creature that it sees. MDCCCXCIV - "FILLTHYHUNGRYE" For what I will, I will, and there an end. It makes the consuls base: and my soul aches Look, what an unthrift in the world doth spend Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Try many, all good, serve truly, never How white and red each other did destroy! You're overthrown, you're undone for ever! He cares not for your weeping. Speak thou, boy: Until her husband's welfare she did hear; Now kiss, embrace, contend, do what you will. Go to the feast, revel and domineer, Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill: You and your ways; whose wraths to guard you from-- Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MDCCCXCV - "YESEVENTILLTHE" You would have thought the very windows spake, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Such hazard now must doting Tarquin make, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Visit the speechless sick and still converse Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. That fell away have entertainment, but Indeed his king, to be engaged in Wales, Lives not this day within the city walls: Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. Thou say'st his sports were hinderd by thy brawls: Here art thou in appointment fresh and fair, Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MDCCCXCVI - "YWINKWITHFULLN" Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins, When my dimensions are as well compact, I thank thee for thy care and honest pains. Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. King Henry and the prince his son are gone: Well, I am loath to gall a new-heal'd wound. In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; This let alone will all the rest confound. Hope, sir, if you thrive, you'll remember from For still temptation follows where thou art. Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Let grief and sorrow still embrace his heart Let it not enter in your mind of love: No more than I am well acquitted of. MDCCCXCVII - "ESSTOMORROWSEE" Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, Salt Cleopatra, soften thy waned lip! Shall gild her bridal bed and make her rich That he may bless this bay with his tall ship, On Thursday, sir? the time is very short. My brother's love, the devil, and my rage. Or any he the proudest of thy sort. Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts; Well, seeing gentle words will not prevail, Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, Each jealous of the other, as the stung Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MDCCCXCVIII - "AGAINANDDONOTK" Alack, the night comes on, and the bleak winds Go search like nobles, like noble subjects, All's not offence that indiscretion finds In this point charge him home, that he affects Now do you know the reason of this haste. All that is mine I leave at thy dispose, Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Dyed in the dying slaughter of their foes: Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes, Oppose himself against a troop of kerns, Now boast thee, death, in thy possession lies Of great Northumberland, whose bosom burns Thou kill'st me in his life; giving him breath, Kill Brutus, and be honour'd in his death. MDCCCXCIX - "ILLTHESPIRITOF" If it were so, I might have let alone Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Laughest thou, wretch? thy mirth shall turn to moan. Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Hath he deserved to lose his birthright thus? Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? So that, in this unjust divorce of us, Patience awhile, good Cassio. Come, come; If something thou wilt swear to be believed, Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them I do not greatly care to be deceived, That I, unworthy body as I am, Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast, Fie, fie, Gratiano! where are all the rest? MCM - "LOVEWITHAPERPE" Look'st thou pale, France? do not let go thy hand. Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich Virtue he had, deserving to command: Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Which I with some unwillingness pronounce: I see my reputation is at stake The dearer by I know how much an ounce. Her uncle Rivers; yea, and, for her sake, A day in April never came so sweet, Presents more woeful pageants than the scene Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Plead on her part some cause to you unknown: Enough to purchase what you have made known. MCMI - "TUALDULLNESSLE" Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp'st intents, Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. And to your quick-conceiving discontents Lead on to some foul issue: we all kneel. Dry up in her the organs of increase; Use no entreaty, for it is in vain. Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: Let Lion, Moonshine, Wall, and lovers twain Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. So her dead likeness, I do well believe, Struck the main-top! O Posthumus! alas, Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself Else would he never so demean himself. MCMII - "TTHISSADINTERI" Their minds may change. Besides, it were a mock That all the world shall- I will do such things- He had of me a chain: at five o'clock I like this fair proceeding of the King's. So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? She that was ever fair and never proud, And pass my daughter a sufficient dower, Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. Is't with you? What, man! defy the devil: No, my good lords, it is not that offends; This harness'd masque and unadvised revel, Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Refuse me, hate me, torture me to death! In the vile prison of afflicted breath. MCMIII - "MLIKETHEOCEANB" My resolution, husband, do thou take; Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. Is he pardon'd; and, for your lovely sake, Keep me in patience, and with ripen'd time Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. To me are nothing novel, nothing strange; Hast thou no mouth by land? What is the news? Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Can the son's eye behold his father bleed? Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: As if the golden fee for which I plead Now thou art gone, we have no staff, no stay. But shall we wear these honours for a day? MCMIV - "EWHICHPARTSTHE" Each changing place with that which goes before, Which he in this adventure hath surprised, His present and your pains we thank you for: In way of marriage: therefore be advised. Could all but answer for that peevish brat? Hear me without thine ears, and make reply Peep through each part of him: whence has he that, And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Rather than render back, out with your knives, To enforce the pained impotent to smile. See where she comes, and brings your froward wives That blood which owed the breadth of all this isle, He came too late, the ship was under sail: Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. MCMV - "SHOREWHERETWOC" Surely, by all the glory you have won, Have mercy, Jesu!--Soft! I did but dream. Out at your window betwixt twelve and one? Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Either of king or council, when you went When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim He did behave his anger, ere 'twas spent, Err'd in this point which now you censure him, Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. That robs thee of thy goodness! If thou dost Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast. Or my shamed life in his dishonour lies: Commanded by the motion of thine eyes? MCMVI - "ONTRACTEDNEWCO" O, make a league with me, till I have pleased No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. These Kentish rebels would be soon appeased! Receive it friendly; but from this time forth As far as I could ken thy chalky cliffs, Comes to the privy coffer of the state; That 'scuse serves many men to save their gifts. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Dear heart, forbear to glance thine eye aside: Not fearing death, nor shrinking for distress, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. With whom I am accused, I do confess Come hither, neighbour Seacole. God hath blessed Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest. MCMVII - "MEDAILYTOTHEBA" My mistress made it one upon my cheek: English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Delay this marriage for a month, a week; Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth If I would time expend with such a snipe. Lo, by thy side where Rape and Murder stands; Yet fruits that blossom first will first be ripe: The noble Duke of Clarence to your hands: O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! Th'art a tall fellow; hold thee that to drink. His corrigible neck, his face subdued Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Before the gods my knee shall bow my prayers And I will fill them with prophetic tears. MCMVIII - "NKSTHATWHENTHE" Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, King Cerberus; and let the welkin roar. Sir, you may thank yourself for this great loss, The picture of an angry-chafing boar, Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. And with dead cheeks advise thee to desist Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud; With as big heart as thou. Do as thou list Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise. Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays? That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, Here in the streets, desperate of shame and state, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MCMIX - "YSEERETURNOFLO" You i' the camlet, get up o' the rail; So soon to bid good morrow to thy bed: Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Establish him in his true sense again, Thou dost make possible things not so held, Use no entreaty, for it is in vain. Refuse not, mighty lord, this proffer'd love. Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? On any ground that I am ruler of, Fight for your king, your country and your lives; Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! MCMX - "VEMOREBLESTMAY" Visit the speechless sick and still converse Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Each cheek a river running from a fount Both young and old, one with another, Ford; Lays her full mess before you. Want! why want? Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Sets you most rich in youth before my sight, The city ports by this hath enter'd and Money by me! heart and goodwill you might; And, having gilt the ocean with his beams, You came not of one mother then, it seems. MCMXI - "BETHEVIEWELSEC" Between the promise of his greener days Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. These high wild hills and rough uneven ways Have from the forests shook three summers' pride, Each present lord began to promise aid, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. If thou canst like this creature as a maid, Else you may be marvellously mistook. When shall he think to find a stranger just, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Lies on my tongue: no, Percy, thou art dust She crops the stalk, and in the breach appears Each changing place with that which goes before, Come, citizens: 'zounds! I'll entreat no more. MCMXII - "ALLITWINTERWHI" A worthy fool! Motley's the only wear. Lo, as the bark, that hath discharged her fraught, Let him have time of Time's help to despair, If I in act, consent, or sin of thought, To feed my humour, wish thyself no harm. With tokens thus, and thus; averting notes I pray you, will you take him by the arm? Not for Cadwallader and all his goats. Though all that I can do is nothing worth, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse. Here comes my sister, reading; stand aside. I am not bid to wait upon this bride. MCMXIII - "CHBEINGFULLOFC" Coldly embracing the discolour'd earth; Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood, Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Not being torn a-pieces, we have done: Good night to your redress! Is the duke gone? For one commanding all, obey'd of none. Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! For, by my soul, were there worse end than death, Coming and going with thy honey breath. MCMXIV - "AREMAKESSUMMER" Away, I do beseech you, both away Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss, Away the performance: therefore, much drink Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Sayest thou so, old Jack? go thy ways; I'll make Such as she says my lord did say I was. Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; My noble uncle, do you know the cause? My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: Either of king or council, when you went Repair'd with double riches of content. MCMXV - "SWELCOMETHRICE" She is a theme of honour and renown, Whom thus we stray to find, and the sea mocks Enow to press a royal merchant down Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Consider, sir, the chance of war: the day Or, if she be accused in true report, Methought a serpent eat my heart away, Except some petty towns of no import: Till that her garments, heavy with their drink, Honour'd, belov'd, and haply one as kind Resides not in that man that does not think,-- In nature there's no blemish but the mind; Come when the king doth to my lady come; Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MCMXVI - "MOREWISHDMORER" My boding heart pants, beats, and takes no rest, On Helen's cheek all art of beauty set, Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Else one self mate and mate could not beget When he would play the noble beast in love. I wish your horses swift and sure of foot; She'll none o' the count: she'll not match above How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? Do you confess so much? Give me your hand. My soul is heavy, and I fain would sleep. On her bare breast, the heart of all her land; Reply not in how many fathoms deep Else you may be marvellously mistook. Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. MCMXVII - "AREBEINGYOURSL" Are at their beads, 'tis hard to draw them thence, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. But, love, hate on, for now I know thy mind; Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste I made unto the noise; when soon I heard Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. One fit to bandy with thy lawless sons, Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs; Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Stay, stand apart; I know not which is which. Like a poor beggar, raileth on the rich. MCMXVIII - "AVEWHATSHOULDI" Acquaint my mother with my hate to her, Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Either to die the death or to abjure Whose double tongue may with a mortal touch Have here bereft my brother of his life. Actors by the scroll. Masters, spread yourselves. To separate the husband and the wife. So may the outward shows be least themselves: Here stood he in the dark, his sharp sword out, O, be thou Dian, and let her be Kate; Unknown to you, unsought, were clipp'd about Lewis, determine what we shall do straight. Dearer than Plutus' mine, richer than gold: Is my apparel sumptuous to behold? MCMXIX - "DOBUTTENDUPONT" Do me the favour to dilate at full Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still, Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull, Under what colour he commits this ill. To those fresh morning drops upon the rose, Thy noble shape is but a form of wax, Except it be to pray against thy foes. No, not to stay the finding of the axe, Doth hurry from the fatal cannon's womb. Under an osier growing by a brook, Poor living corse, closed in a dead man's tomb! O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul The Duke of Suffolk, William de la Pole. MCMXX - "HEHOURSANDTIME" Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? His bed shall seem a school, his board a shrift; Of health and living now begins to mend, Upon the grassy carpet of this plain. Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Summon a session, that we may arraign A babe to honour her! If she must teem, Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, Do I take part: the rarer action is Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss, If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MCMXXI - "SOFYOURDESIREI" So please you, save the thanks this prince expects: Of these Italian weeds and suit myself Falsely to draw me in these vile suspects. You had but that opinion of yourself O Warwick, Warwick! I foresee with grief Under your hands and seals: therefore, go on: Robs the vast sea: the moon's an arrant thief, Does it not, thinks't thee, stand me now upon- Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Shall I not lie in publishing a truth? I freely told you, all the wealth I had Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, I rail'd on thee, fearing my love's decease. MCMXXII - "HAVENOPRECIOUS" He has no children. All my pretty ones? As I upon advantage did remove, Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Effect it with some care, that he may prove No vast obscurity or misty vale, Of threescore and two years; a silly time Prepare her ears to hear a wooer's tale Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set Can yet the lease of my true love control, It is determined, not concluded yet: Or by the worth of man's eternal soul, Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy gift, Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? MCMXXIII - "TIMEATALLTOSPE" To see her noble lord restor'd to health, If he see aught in you that makes him like, My lord, fair Helen told me of their stealth, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, As never did the clergy at one time That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. And thou art flying to a fresher clime: Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; That proof is call'd impossibility. O, how her fear did make her colour rise! Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, Please you, I'll meet with you upon the mart Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MCMXXIV - "NDNORSERVICEST" Now I begin to relish thy advice; Dinner is ready, and your father stays. Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Or (not to crack the wind of the poor phrase, Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, Step forth mine advocate; at your request England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Revenue, execution of the rest, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how I will acquaintance strangle and look strange, Camillo, sir; I spake with him; who now Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Salutes each other with each other's form; That yet you do not know. Fie on this storm! MCMXXV - "ODOTILLYOUREQU" O that there were some virtue in my tears, Do you intend to stay with me to-night? O, let us have him, for his silver hairs This ship-boy's semblance hath disguised me quite. In that you brook it in, it makes him worse: Likely in time to bless a regal throne. Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Yet execute thy wrath in me alone, O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get? Upon advice, hath drawn my love from her; Repair hither and say you are not fit. Either to die the death or to abjure Quiet thy cudgel; thou dost see I eat. Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. MCMXXVI - "IRENORDAREICHI" I'll look to like, if looking liking move: Remember since you owed no more to time Effect it with some care, that he may prove Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Deny me not, I prithee, gentle Joan. A wisp of straw were worth a thousand crowns, Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Either of king or council, when you went I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink. Come, madam, come; I in all haste was sent. Have I pluck'd off, to grace thy brows withal: I do the wrong, and first begin to brawl. MCMXXVII - "DETHEWORLDWITH" Doth by the idle comments that it makes Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: That with the hurly death itself awakes? Had I but served my God with half the zeal Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Which giveth many wounds when one will kill. O Westmoreland, thou art a summer bird, Redeeming time when men think least I will. Look after him and cannot do him good, Deceitful Warwick! it was thy device Would I could meet that rogue Diomed! I would I was not much afeard; for once or twice The sun no sooner shall the mountains touch Hold, Richard, hold; for we have done too much. MCMXXVIII - "OUTENDHOURWHIL" Of all my buried ancestors are packed: Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, That can I witness; and a fouler fact Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! Deservedly confined into this rock, How long shall I be patient? ah, how long O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf! Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills We do not act that often jest and laugh; How mean soe'er, that have their honest wills, If thou delight to view thy heinous deeds, Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. MCMXXIX - "STIMYSOVEREIGN" Some slain before; some dying; some their friends There would have been a time for such a word. I'll kiss each several paper for amends. Mann'd with three hundred men, as I have heard; You are, I think, assur'd I love you not. She was a wight, if ever such wight were,-- Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, Values itself so highly that to her Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, England shall give him office, honour, might; Is colder tidings, yet they must be told. God knows how long it is I have to live; Not he which says the dead is not alive. MCMXXX - "WATCHTHECLOCKF" Well, somewhat we must do. Come, cousin, I'll And whiter than the sheets! That I might touch! To win thee, lady. But, alas the while! Curate and your sweet self are good at such Have too a woman's heart; which ever yet That thou mightst win the more thy father's love, Her and her virtues, I cannot forget Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Can have no note, unless the sun were post-- Like misty vapours when they blot the sky, Of Nature's gifts thou mayst with lilies boast, Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, Kent, in the Commentaries Caesar writ, Far be it from my heart, the thought of it! MCMXXXI - "ORYOUNORTHINKT" One that hath ever been God's enemy: Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Yonder's the head of that arch-enemy O heavy times, begetting such events! Unless she do it under this excuse, Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, O Caesar! these things are beyond all use, Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, To alter this, for counsel is but vain. Have I not in my time heard lions roar? In an ungracious mouth is but profane. Not unconsider'd leave your honour, nor Kind Tyrrel, am I happy in thy news? The passion ending, doth the purpose lose. MCMXXXII - "HEBITTERNESSOF" He could not stay to pick them in a pile Every man shift for all the rest, and But who knows nothing, is once seen to smile; I do not care: I'll give thrice so much land Thou hast a grim appearance, and thy face That which I durst not speak; his present gift Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift Never hung poison on a fouler toad. Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; Sir, would she give you so much of her lips Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan Feed, and regard him not. Are you a man? MCMXXXIII - "ABSENCESOURWHE" Appointed to direct these fair designs. But, Titus, I have touched thee to the quick, Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Exampled by the first pace that is sick Nurture can never stick; on whom my pains, Cancel all grudge, repeal thee home again, Endue you with the people's voice: remains So are they all, all honourable men-- Or thy affection cannot hold the bent; Under love's heavy burden do I sink. Repair'd with double riches of content. Which honour and allegiance cannot think. He hath found the meaning, for which we mean Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MCMXXXIV - "NYOUHAVEBIDYOU" Never did passenger in summer's heat Yea the illiterate, that know not how Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit, Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou Have I not in my time heard lions roar? And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: But who dare tell her so? If I should speak, I would we had a thousand Roman dames Delay this marriage for a month, a week; Your oaths are pass'd; and now subscribe your names, O, coward that I am, to live so long, Under whose government come they along? MCMXXXV - "RSERVANTONCEAD" Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; Stand by my side, you whom the gods have made Each man apart, all single and alone, Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, As may be in the world: his youth in flood, No if thou dost say 'no' to my demand. To the hot passion of distemper'd blood Or if he do, let it at least be said Not, man; here's no harm intended to thee. Currents that spring from one most gracious head, England, bound in with the triumphant sea And placed a quire of such enticing birds, Delivered up again with peaceful words? MCMXXXVI - "IEUNORDAREIQUE" Is this thy cunning, thou deceitful dame? Even like a man new haled from the rack, Unhappy were you, madam, ere I came; No face is fair that is not full so black. Of that and all the progress, more or less, Richard the second here was hack'd to death; Do me but right, and you must all confess And I have seen thee pause and take thy breath, Richly in two short hours. Only they Every man shift for all the rest, and I would thou wert so happy by thy stay, Quoth he, 'She took me kindly by the hand, Unto a view so false will not incline; Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. MCMXXXVII - "STIONWITHMYJEA" Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive and cog, To wail his death who lives and must not die I took by the throat the circumcised dog, O, that forced thunder from his heart did fly, Not I, my lord; sith true nobility Where we, in all her trim, freshly beheld Into her womb convey sterility; Thou dost make possible things not so held, Hath not old custom made this life more sweet My lord, the mind of Bolingbroke is changed: Yet from my dugs he drew not this deceit. Just to the time, not with the time exchanged, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Alas, the way is wearisome and long! MCMXXXVIII - "LOUSTHOUGHTWHE" Love loving not itself none other can. Of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales; Unless he live until he be a man. She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails, To make a shaking fever in your walls, Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones O, this is full of pity! Sir, it calls, Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Good day, my lord. What, at your book so hard? Have I my pillow left unpress'd in Rome, Transported, with no worse nor better guard Ways, wench; serve God. What, have you dined at home? He gives the bastinado with his tongue: Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MCMXXXIX - "REYOUMAYBEORYO" Return those duties back as are right fit, England, impatient of your just demands, You saw one here in court could witness it. On pain of torture, from those bloody hands Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts My tongue, though not my heart, shall have his will. And dispossessing all my other parts Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still, Be yoked with his that did betray the Best! End in one purpose, and be all well borne One minute, nay, one quiet breath of rest. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Yet, if that quarrel, fortune, do divorce O you most potent gods! what's here? a corse! MCMXL - "URAFFAIRSSUPPO" Unto a ragged fearful-hanging rock Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. And crows are fatted with the murrion flock; Fidele, sir. I have a kinsman who Fair maid, is't thou wilt do these wondrous feats? And where my liege's? all about the breast: I do not without danger walk these streets: Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, Speak gentle words and humbly bend thy knee, Such is the fulness of my heart's content. Upon the farthest earth removed from thee; Pitiful thrivers, in their gazing spent? Pleased fortune does of Marcus Crassus' death Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. MCMXLI - "SEBUTLIKEASADS" Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. Empale him with your weapons round about; But that the scambling and unquiet time Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt, These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe Let them say more than like of hearsay well; I greatly fear my money is not safe. Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell! Each changing place with that which goes before, Abetting him to thwart me in my mood! Strike up the drums; and let the tongue of war And one day in a week to touch no food Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, So him I lose through my unkind abuse. MCMXLII - "LAVESTAYANDTHI" Love loving not itself none other can. And ask remission for my folly past. Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Say, if my father render fair return, The king is not himself, but basely led And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn, Your high-engender'd battles 'gainst a head And Tarquin's eye may read the mot afar, Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, Disasters in the sun; and the moist star The sacred honour of himself, his queen's, He was a gentleman on whom I built It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. MCMXLIII - "NKOFNOUGHTSAVE" Now, Master Slender: love him, daughter Anne. Kinsmen, shoot all your shafts into the court: O Lord, have mercy on me, woful man! Falls upon thee in a more fairer sort; Never, O never shall I see more joy! Of all exploits since first I follow'd arms, Under her other was the tender boy, Good parts aside I have no other charms. Hew down and fell the hardest-timber'd oak. That has to-day escaped. I thank you all; Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. And stay, good nurse, behind the abbey wall: Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MCMXLIV - "WHEREYOUAREHOW" When it is barr'd the aidance of the tongue. His other agents aim at like delight? Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Receive thy lance; and God defend the right! England we love; and for that England's sake You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? Or I shall live your epitaph to make, Unwilling I agreed. Alas! too soon, And swear I got them in the Gallia wars. Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Hearing applause and universal shout, Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades, Wanting the manage of unruly jades. MCMXLV - "HAPPYYOUMAKETH" Have all limed bushes to betray thy wings, And, like a thief, to come to rob my grounds, Proud setter up and puller down of kings! Peace, you ungracious clamours! peace, rude sounds! Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; You never spoke what did become you less Outside or inside, I will not return Unto your Grace do I in chief address My life I never held but as a pawn Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: King Henry and the prince his son are gone: Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; The rather for I have some sport in hand How many be commanded that command! MCMXLVI - "OSESOTRUEAFOOL" O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out Say what I think of it, since I have found Empale him with your weapons round about; Sirrah, do I owe you a thousand pound? Only this proof I'll of thy valour make, To house or housekeeping. Then at my farm Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Untimely comes this hurt. Give me your arm. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. A martial man to be soft fancy's slave! For half a hundred years. Summon the town. Or bid me go into a new-made grave O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, Lean, rent and beggar'd by the strumpet wind! MCMXLVII - "ISLOVETHATINYO" I think her old familiar is asleep: So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; Or I shall break that merry sconce of yours Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Then have my lips the sin that they have took. His arms spread wider than a dragon's wings; About that which concerns your grace and us; To see her noble lord restor'd to health, I doubt not but with honour to redress; Nor pluck it from his finger, for the wealth Ye should do service. Hark! the trumpets sound; Of hostile arms! myself myself confound! MCMXLVIII - "URWILLTHOUGHYO" Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Where am I? Where's my lord? What world is this? I am his first-born son, that was the last Like madness is the glory of this life. Let liberty make use of; space enough The lamb entreats the butcher: where's thy knife? His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Of a glad father compass thee about! Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Going to find a bare-foot brother out Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones Your eyes do menace me: why look you pale? Or else his head's assurance is but frail. MCMXLIX - "UDOANYTHINGHET" Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, O, I could wish this tavern were my drum! And they have troops of soldiers at their beck? Not working with the eye without the ear, You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb That, as the star moves not but in his sphere, He stamps and bites the poor flies in his fume. I am so far from granting thy request Neglecting an attempt of ease and gain, Go I to fight: truth hath a quiet breast. Help! help, ho! help! O lady, speak again! Environed with all these hideous fears? That is so vex'd with watching and with tears? MCML - "HINKSNOILLTHAT" He will do all in all as Hastings doth. If she deny to wed, I'll crave the day Now, as I can remember, by my troth, Knows at what time to promise, when to pay. Such dreadful heralds to astonish us. No? Saw you not, even now, a blessed troop Or whether 'twas report of her success; I would attach you all and make you stoop Less impudence to gainsay what they did Look for the news that the Guildhall affords. This lord go to him! Jupiter forbid, How far into the morning is it, lords? And doubt not, sir, but she will well excuse The small'st opinion on my least misuse? MCMLI - "GODFORBIDTHATM" Good King, that must approve the common saw, O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? Dies not alone, but like a gulf doth draw From forth this morsel of dead royalty, O cruel, irreligious piety! Razeth your cities and subverts your towns But this is worshipful society If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, Deliver'd by a friend that came from him. There to dispose this treasure in mine arms, Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- As if the boy should use like loving charms; Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly My boy shall fetch the scrivener presently. MCMLII - "ADEMEFIRSTYOUR" As, deathmen, you have rid this sweet young prince! Deservedly confined into this rock, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. For me, the ransom of my bold attempt If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search. Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp To do that thing that ends all other deeds; You ne'er kill'd Imogen til now. Help, help! One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. MCMLIII - "SLAVEISHOULDIN" Should seek a plaster by contemn'd revolt, Less valiant than the virgin in the night And yet to charge thy sulphur with a bolt Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Else had she with her father rang'd along. I am too mean a subject for thy wrath: Such danger to resistance did belong, Horns, Master Brook: and, Master Brook, he hath O, love's best habit is in seeming trust, Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! Let villany itself forswear't. I must Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, I better brook the loss of brittle life Nothing in France, until he have no wife! MCMLIV - "THOUGHTCONTROL" The heat I have from thence doth little harm, He veils his tail that, like a falling plume, One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Good morrow, and well met. How have ye done Himself to Rome; his spirit is come in, Though other things grow fair against the sun, Cousin, throw up your gage; do you begin. Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Now put it, God, in the physician's mind To put good meat into an unclean dish. Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Of health and living now begins to mend, Lady, will you walk about with your friend? MCMLV - "YOURTIMESOFPLE" Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, On forfeit of my hands, my head, my heart: Uneath may she endure the flinty streets, Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; The leperous distilment; whose effect I offer'd to awaken his regard Make livers pale and lustihood deject. Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Scorn now their hand should give them burial. Of deaths put on by cunning and forc'd cause; Fine apparition! My quaint Ariel, Presume not that I am the thing I was, Lovel and Ratcliff, look that it be done: Expecting in return twenty for one? MCMLVI - "ASUREORATYOURH" After the Danish sword, and thy free awe So, love, be thou; although to-day thou fill Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Run to my study. By and by! God's will, Even like a man new haled from the rack, One that made means to come by what he hath, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! And loves to grant, reprieve him from the wrath The shrug, the hum or ha, these petty brands You know an enemy intends you harm; Or, being open, put into his hands Untimely comes this hurt. Give me your arm. Revel and feast it at my house to-day, How long within this wood intend you stay? MCMLVII - "ANDTHEACCOUNTO" Alas, I am the mother of these moans! Now thou dost penance too. Look how they gaze! Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, That tongue that tells the story of thy days, He answer'd thus: 'Young Talbot was not born Empale him with your weapons round about; A mother and two brothers: but, O scorn! Comes toward Dunsinane. Arm, arm, and out! Cannot a plain man live and think no harm, O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! Untimely comes this hurt. Give me your arm. Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, The other lords, like lions wanting food, O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! MCMLVIII - "FHOURSTOCRAVEB" For here I read for certain that my ships Hath made her break out into terms of rage! O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Ungovern'd youth, to wail it in their age; Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Since that my case is past the help of law. Thou dost make possible things not so held, O, that that earth which kept the world in awe Could trammel up the consequence, and catch Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, And couple Clowder with the deep-mouth'd brach. Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Ely with Richmond troubles me more near But they can see a sort of traitors here. MCMLIX - "EINGYOURVASSAL" Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: I never swore this lady such an oath. No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff. Go thou to Friar Penker; bid them both Your party in converse, him you would sound, O me! come near me now I am much ill. Uproar the universal peace, confound Reason becomes the marshal to my will Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: And by disjoining hands, hell lose a soul. Swoons rather; for so bad a prayer as his Smile with an austere regard of control,-- As may be in the world: his youth in flood, Lo, now my glory smear'd in dust and blood! MCMLX - "BOUNDTOSTAYYOU" By moonshine did these lovers think no scorn Or Daphne roaming through a thorny wood, Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, Do the low-rated English play at dice; That you shall say my cunning drift excels. Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. Sweet thief, whence didst thou steal thy sweet that smells, To spite a raven's heart within a dove. And put you in the catalogue of those Your sauciness will jest upon my love You sad Andronici, have done with woes: O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. MCMLXI - "RLEISUREOLETME" Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, Leave nothing out for length, and make us think Enow to press a royal merchant down I see things too, although you judge I wink. So full of dismal terror was the time! Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Effect it with some care, that he may prove O'erworn, despised, rheumatic and cold, Leave off discourse of disability: Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: That, from the sense of all civility, Making no summer of another's green, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MCMLXII - "SUFFERBEINGATY" Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: Unseemly woman in a seeming man! Fury, Fury! there, Tyrant, there! hark! hark! Fortunes: his grace hath made the match, and an Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Resolve your angry father, if my tongue But, if you frown upon this proffer'd peace, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Nothing but sit and sit, and eat and eat! Good tidings, my Lord Hastings; for the which And your unthought-of Harry chance to meet. Thou'lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange Yea, faith itself to hollow falsehood change! MCMLXIII - "OURBECKTHEIMPR" Omitting the sweet benefit of time Upon the instant that she was accused, Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, But, worthy lords, have you with heed perused Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Can couch for fear, but I will find them out; Keep still possession of thy gloomy place, That as a waist doth girdle you about, He would show most love. When yet he was but Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; I shall remember more. Bid him--ah, what?-- May we not get access to her, my lord? Put up your swords; you know not what you do. Roses of shadow, since his rose is true? MCMLXIV - "ISONDABSENCEOF" I will be thine; and till that instant shut So is it not with me as with that Muse Of her or you, having proceeded but No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose Doth Lear walk thus? speak thus? Where are his eyes? And, look you, here's your letter; this it says: But found no cure: the bath for my help lies She is as forward of her breeding as Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Nor customary suits of solemn black, Count Claudio, whom you sent me to seek. Even like a man new haled from the rack, Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; For he that interrupts him shall not live. MCMLXV - "YOURLIBERTYAND" You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb Or, like a fairy, trip upon the green, Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Lives in the English court, and is received I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours But let not therefore my good friends be grieved-- Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Regard me as I do not flatter, and The woods are ruthless, dreadful, deaf, and dull; Your father's heir must have your father's land. Am sure I scared the Dauphin and his trull, Not I, my lord, unless I did bleed too. Deadly divorce step between me and you! MCMLXVI - "PATIENCETAMETO" Playing the mouse in absence of the cat, At this encounter do so much admire The tears have got small victory by that; Imagine Pericles arrived at Tyre, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Not to pick bad from bad, but by bad mend! Create her child of spleen, that it may live Each hath his place and function to attend: They will digest this harsh indignity. And sets a blister there; makes marriage vows Meantime, forget this new-fall'n dignity, Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows That never meat sweet-savor'd in thy taste, O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. MCMLXVII - "SUFFERANCEBIDE" She tells me here, she'd wed the stranger knight, Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. Fold in the object that did feed her sight. For he was fitter for that place than earth. Either thou art most ignorant by age, Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: And FENTON comes and steals away ANN PAGE. Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, Commend me to your honourable wife: Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, But thou dost in thy passages of life I was your mother much upon these years Do pelt so fast at one another's pate Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MCMLXVIII - "EACHCHEQUEWITH" Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. And to his palate doth prepare the cup: Came pouring, like the tide into a breach, How easy dost thou take all England up! Coward of France! how much he wrongs his fame, Here, at thy hand: be bold, and take thy stand. Envy your great deservings and good name, Quoth he, 'She took me kindly by the hand, Under your good correction, I have seen, Each one demand an answer to his part Warwick, what are thy news? and yours, fair queen? In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, The burning torch in yonder turret stands. His plate, his goods, his money and his lands. MCMLXIX - "OUTACCUSINGYOU" Of thy dear husband, than that horrid act Under the lordly monarch of the north, To cavil in the course of this contract: And makes him roar these accusations forth. Cowards die many times before their deaths; Come hither, boy; come, come, and learn of us Uplift us to the view; in their thick breaths, So doth the greater glory dim the less: I am so angry at these abject terms; Never did faithful subject more rejoice Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. Youngling, learn thou to make some meaner choice: Obstruction in this: and the end,--what should Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! MCMLXX - "OFINJURYBEWHER" Of woman in me: now from head to foot For whom he now is banish'd, her own price I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Join not with grief, fair woman, do not so, Upon some present business of the state Receiving nought by elements so slow You lie, in faith, for you are call'd plain Kate, But thou didst understand me by my signs East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Would make a volume of enticing lines, How often hast thou waited at my cup, Enough to purchase what you have made known. Revenge upon myself with present moan? MCMLXXI - "EYOULISTYOURCH" Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt, Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Unknown to you, unsought, were clipp'd about Like an old tale: but it appears she lives, I will bring in the empress and her sons, See where she comes, and brings your froward wives The fountain from the which my current runs, Yet have I heard,--O, could I find it now!-- O ceremony, show me but thy worth! Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, CORIOLANUS! How shall I honour thee for this success? MCMLXXII - "ARTERISSOSTRON" All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick. Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live It pleased your majesty to turn your looks So be my grave my peace as here I give Save base authority from others' books Or whether that such cowards ought to wear Strike up the drums; and let the tongue of war To whom the foragers shall all repair, Religious in mine error, I adore O good Horatio, what a wounded name Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? MCMLXXIII - "GTHATYOUYOURSE" Good friend, thou hast no cause to say so yet, This said, in top of rage the lines she rents, He that is strucken blind cannot forget And I will stoop and humble my intents The agent of thy foul inconstancy, You give away myself, which is known mine; Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy, Unto a view so false will not incline; Yields to the theft. Had he been where he thought, On that advantage, bought with such a shame, Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Setting your scorns and your mislike aside, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. MCMLXXIV - "LFMAYPRIVILEGE" Leave off delays, and let us raise the siege. From whence he intercepted did return More health and happiness betide my liege And bootless make the breathless housewife churn; You are too cold; if you should need a pin, Profitless usurer, why dost thou use Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse. Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: It shall not fear where it should most mistrust; Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Gave you a dancing-rapier by your side, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. MCMLXXV - "YOURTIMETOWHAT" Yes, my lord, yes; he at Philippi kept Of golden metal that must round my brow Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! That excellent complexion, which did steal Into the staggers and the careless lapse Madam, I have a secret to reveal. Expire before the flowers in their caps, That patience is quite beaten from her breast. One turf shall serve as pillow for us both; Whose deed hath made herself herself detest: Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. All's not offence that indiscretion finds To be oppos'd against the warring winds? MCMLXXVI - "YOUWILLTOYOUIT" Your grace shall well and quietly enjoy. Of disobedient opposition Unarm thee, go, and doubt thou not, brave boy, Wave thus, to express his disposition, I must be brief, lest resolution drop Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? Like to a censer in a barber's shop. The worships of their name.- O most small fault, O, now be gone; more light and light it grows. You do amaze her: hear the truth of it. Only for bearing burdens, and sore blows Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, If with the sap of reason you would quench, To feast upon whole thousands of the French. MCMLXXVII - "DOTHBELONGYOUR" Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Out of myself, press me to death with wit. To have his pomp and all what state compounds Her letter now is seal'd, and on it writ But now the mindful messenger, come back, Either to die the death or to abjure Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, O, pray, let's see't: for the Lord Timon, sir? Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; You should enjoy, were you this country's king, O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit Under the blow of thralled discontent, Repair'd with double riches of content. MCMLXXVIII - "SELFTOPARDONOF" Seem they in motion? Here are sever'd lips, Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, For death-like dragons here affright thee hard: Therefore, my lord, it highly us concerns O constancy, be strong upon my side, Pray, set it down and rest you: when this burns, And blood untainted still doth red abide, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Did give him that same royalty he wears; O, spare me not, my brother Edward's son, Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Falsely to draw me in these vile suspects. MCMLXXIX - "SELFDOINGCRIME" Something I must do to procure me grace. England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Look, as I blow this feather from my face, Fair ladies mask'd are roses in their bud; Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands O earth, which this blood drink'st revenge his death! It likes us well; young princes, close your hands. Nor windy suspiration of forc'd breath, Give me one kiss, I'll give it thee again, Coldly embracing the discolour'd earth; Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, I'll nothing do on charge: to her own worth My widow says thus she conceives her tale. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. MCMLXXX - "IAMTOWAITTHOUG" Is this the Talbot, so much fear'd abroad A Roman now adopted happily, Mercy to thee would prove itself a bawd: Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily. Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick, Why ask you? hear you aught of her in yours? And let thy misty vapours march so thick, I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Thou hate and terror to prosperity, The Turkish preparation makes for Rhodes; Have done! for shame, if not for charity. Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads Upon his royal face there is no note Give the dozen white luces in their coat. MCMLXXXI - "HWAITINGSOBEHE" Had he been slain, we should have heard the news; Whatever fortune stays him from his word. And doubt not, sir, but she will well excuse I have stood by, my lord, and I have heard Thou cacodemon! there thy kingdom is. If Warwick knew in what estate he stands, Now in the rearward comes the duke and his: Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands. Saying, some shape in Sinon's was abused; O perjured woman! They are both forsworn: But, worthy lords, have you with heed perused End in one purpose, and be all well borne Her father's liking; which to bring to pass, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MCMLXXXII - "LLNOTBLAMEYOUR" Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Not till it leave the rider in the mire. Or I would see his heart out, ere the priest To enforce the pained impotent to smile. Beseeching thee, if with they will it stands Let me persuade you to forbear awhile. Ay me! what news? why dost thou wring thy hands? Must we pursue, and I have found the path. Else shall you not have any hand at all You were conducted to a gentle bath O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Upon whose property and most dear life Render me worthy of this noble wife! MCMLXXXIII - "PLEASUREBEITIL" Pardon me, sir, this jewel did she wear; Let grief and sorrow still embrace his heart Environ you, till mischief and despair Am as well in my wits, fool, as thou art. Stay yet. You vile abominable tents, Upon the wild sea banks and waft her love Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. But miserable most, to love unloved? Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows I hazarded the loss of whom I loved. That hast deceived so many with thy vows? In limited professions. Rascal thieves, Loath to bid farewell, we take our leaves. MCMLXXXIV - "LORWELLIFTHERE" Like a full-acorn'd boar, a German one, Open your ears; for which of you will stop Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. We will, fair queen, up to the mountain's top, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Leave off delays, and let us raise the siege. Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. I tender so the safety of my liege. Finding myself in honour so forbid, To-day might I, hanging on Hotspur's neck, Here is your hand and seal for what I did. Each in his office ready at thy beck. Read over Julia's heart, thy first best love, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MCMLXXXV - "BENOTHINGNEWBU" By'r lakin, I can go no further, sir; Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Never so little show of love to her, On whom frown'st thou that I do fawn upon? They smile at me that shortly shall be dead. Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. Is lighted on poor Hastings' wretched head! Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Good father cardinal, cry thou amen Now what my love is, proof hath made you know; Establish him in his true sense again, Who's that which rings the bell?--Diablo, ho! By this time, had the king permitted us, Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess. MCMLXXXVI - "TTHATWHICHISHA" That season'd woe had pelleted in tears, To give the heir and daughter of Lord Scales Hath from the number of his banish'd years And that same sword-and-buckler Prince of Wales, Then shall I swear to Kate, and you to me; Why ask you? hear you aught of her in yours? Here, here she comes. I'll have a bout with thee; I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Come, come, and sit you down. You shall not budge; Hear no more of you. This the Dauphin speaks. If that the soldier strike him, as I judge Such war of white and red within her cheeks! He spoke, and learnedly, for life; but all And more such days as these to us befall! MCMLXXXVII - "THBEENBEFOREHO" The lord protector lost it, and not I: Hover about her; say, that right for right Be not so long to speak; I long to die, England shall give him office, honour, might; Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Not all together: better far, I guess, But that my master rather play'd than fought Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Fellow, what miracle dost thou proclaim? Of strong prevailment in unharden'd youth: Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Even so void is your false heart of truth. Have wrought the easy-melting king like wax. Or hew my way out with a bloody axe. MCMLXXXVIII - "WAREOURBRAINSB" While she chats him: the kitchen malkin pins And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, Receive the sentence of the law for sins Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? Razeth your cities and subverts your towns By computation and mine host's report. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, And yet methinks your grace hath not done well, In praising her: I tell thee, lord of Greece, No thought can think, nor tongue of mortal tell. Say their great enemy is gone, and they But they will quake and tremble all this day. MCMLXXXIX - "EGUILEDWHICHLA" Exist, and be a member of his love Good king, to be so mightily abused! Upon his party for the gain thereof: I never heard a passion so confused, Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Do you see this? Look on her! look! her lips! Which, in their throng and press to that last hold, He hath, my lord; but be you well assured, In way of marriage: therefore be advised. Come, then; for with a wound I must be cured. Her cheeks with chaps and wrinkles were disguised; Lysander if you live, good sir, awake. And now her sobs do her intendments break. MCMXC - "BOURINGFORINVE" By reason of his adversary's odds: Omitting the sweet benefit of time Under your testy humour? By the gods Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Is in his brain: he bites his lip, and starts; Not till it leave the rider in the mire. Grieving themselves to guess at others' smarts, From first to last, the onset and retire One day he gives us diamonds, next day stones. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Is this the poultice for my aching bones? No sooner had they told this hellish tale, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MCMXCI - "NTIONBEARAMISS" Now we are victors; upon us he smiles. To hover on the dreadful shore of Styx? If to come hither you have measured miles, Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six Nor must not then be yielded to in this. Borrows of the moon, when Diomed keeps his Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. And make me as the poorest vassal is, Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Are visibly character'd and engraved, More than my all is nothing: nor my prayers It is perchance that you yourself were saved. Swifter than arrow from the Tartar's bow. Seven? why, there were but four even now. MCMXCII - "THESECONDBURDE" To this well-painted piece is Lucrece come, He made you for a highway to my bed; Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Stand fast, and wear a castle on thy head! Ere such another Julius. Britain is Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit! Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his No man but prophesied revenge for it. Doth hurry from the fatal cannon's womb. But are not some whole that we must make sick? Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Drove back again unto my native clime? England ne'er had a king until his time. MCMXCIII - "NOFAFORMERCHIL" Now she adds honours to his hateful name; O shut the door! and when thou hast done so, Feast-finding minstrels, tuning my defame, As I suck blood, I will some mercy show. For, look you, I may make the belly smile Out of my sight! thou dost infect my eyes. Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll My grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Christendom. If thou hadst been born blind, thou He sends you this most memorable line, If thou art dun, we'll draw thee from the mire Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. MCMXCIV - "DOTHATRECORDCO" Despite of death that lives upon my grave, Or your own honour to contain the ring, To be controll'd in that he frankly gave: He that hath miss'd the princess is a thing All is the fear and nothing is the love; That I were couching with the doctor's clerk. Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Cousin of York, we institute your grace O Brakenbury, I have done those things, Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: Descended of so many royal kings. Count Claudio, whom you sent me to seek. Or, if you show your face, you must not speak. MCMXCV - "ULDWITHABACKWA" Up higher to the plain; where we'll set forth Leontes opening his free arms and weeping During whose reign the Percies of the north, Why, then he will say we stabbed him sleeping. I did suppose it should be on constraint: The letter is too long by half a mile. Hath set the women on to this complaint: And I will seek for Pindarus the while. But, O malignant and ill-boding stars! Although the kite soar with unbloodied beak? Come, let us go: we will include all jars Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. When the sun shines let foolish gnats make sport, And I, with grief and sorrow, to the court. MCMXCVI - "RDLOOKEVENOFFI" Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Done to me, undeserving as I am, Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb O sacred receptacle of my joys, Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Else had she with her father rang'd along. No, not a whit: what! I have watch'd ere now O master, master I have watch'd so long Free speech and fearless I to thee allow. From whence himself does fly? He loves us not; I fear my Thisby's promise is forgot! MCMXCVII - "VEHUNDREDCOURS" Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Except a sword or sceptre balance it: He in his speed looks for the morning light; Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, Now is it Rome indeed and room enough, Do not deny to him that you love me. Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee Do more than counterpoise a full third part Come, good Lorenzo. Fare ye well awhile: O perjured woman! thou dost stone my heart, Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Shall have a thousand crowns for his reward. MCMXCVIII - "ESOFTHESUNSHOW" Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: O Caesar! these things are beyond all use, Fury, Fury! there, Tyrant, there! hark! hark! The king doth smile at; and is well prepared Her body's stain her mind untainted clears; Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Surprise me to the very brink of tears: Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess. Now, fair befall you! he deserved his death; Stabbed their mothers, they would have done no less. He came in thunder; his celestial breath Of a poor worm. Thy best of rest is sleep, Where I espied the panther fast asleep. MCMXCIX - "MEYOURIMAGEINS" My troublous dream this night doth make me sad. Effect it with some care, that he may prove You have no children, butchers! if you had, Or were I deaf, thy outward parts would move Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Richer than that which four successive kings I cannot instantly raise up the gross Met I my father with his bleeding rings, And hear thou there how many fruitless pranks Give me some help!- O cruel! O ye gods! Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks I am content that he shall take the odds Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse Shall be the war that Henry means to use. MM - "OMEANTIQUEBOOK" O Cleopatra! thou art taken, queen: Made impudent with use of evil deeds, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, And do not spread the compost on the weeds Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, That was and is the question of these wars. In russet yeas and honest kersey noes: Question your royal thoughts, make the case yours; Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? But that of hand: the still and mental parts, Of health and living now begins to mend, Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Keep my need up, and faith is trodden down! MMI - "SINCEMINDATFIR" Shall nothing benefit your knowledge, nor I rail'd on thee, fearing my love's decease. Nor men nor money hath he to make war. Content yourself. God knows I loved my niece; Either of king or council, when you went My lords of England, let me tell you this: If't be your pleasure and most wise consent, No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. Done to me, undeserving as I am, And all your southern gentlemen in arms Than their offence can weigh down by the dram; Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms If you suppose as fearing you it shook. Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. MMII - "STINCHARACTERW" Sailors, my lord, they say; I saw them not. They may astonish these fell-lurking curs: I have convey'd aboard; and I have bought No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. Candied with ice, caudle thy morning taste, Have all limed bushes to betray thy wings, And I am nothing slow to slack his haste. Richer than that which four successive kings As to take up mine honour's pawn, then stoop: Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine, There will the lovely Roman ladies troop: Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Why, there's a wench! Come on, and kiss me, Kate. MMIII - "ASDONETHATIMIG" A thousand fiends, a thousand hissing snakes, Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Doth by the idle comments that it makes O hateful hands, to tear such loving words! Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims England, impatient of your just demands, The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims Huge rocks, high winds, strong pirates, shelves and sands, And Humphrey with the peers be fall'n at jars: Their sacred wills be done! Go, get aboard; I cannot, by the progress of the stars, My mother did but duty; such, my lord, In love whereof, half Hector stays at home; Good man, the wounds that he does bear for Rome! MMIV - "HTSEEWHATTHEOL" Ho, ho, confess'd it! hang'd it, have you not? The injuries that they themselves procure Straight marry her: to this her mother's plot Exposing what is mortal and unsure Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, We'll forward towards Warwick and his mates; Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's And egally indeed to all estates,-- Till the high fever seethe your blood to froth, That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars He will do all in all as Hastings doth. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Observe degree, priority and place, Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace. MMV - "DWORLDCOULDSAY" Do on the oak, hive with one winter's brush While we pursued the horsemen of the north, O Proteus, let this habit make thee blush! Receive it friendly; but from this time forth Let me, if not by birth, have lands by wit; Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves! Came smiling, and did bathe their hands in it: Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves Up in the air, crown'd with the golden sun, Let's purge this choler without letting blood: Devise strange deaths for small offences done? So, by a roaring tempest on the flood, And having thee, of all men's pride I boast: You all look strangely on me; and you most. MMVI - "TOTHISCOMPOSED" That noble minds keep ever with their likes; Or does he walk? or is he on his horse? The soldiers should have toss'd me on their pikes He needs no indirect nor lawless course I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve So mortal that, but dip a knife in it, Can you not see? or will ye not observe Only shape thou thy silence to my wit. M,--Malvolio; M,--why, that begins my name. Pursued him still: and, three nights after this, Or else let Talbot perish with this shame. Strangers and foes do sunder, and not kiss. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Do what you will; your wisdom be your guide. MMVII - "WONDEROFYOURFR" Well said, my noble Scot: if speaking truth Of one or both of us the time is come. Now, by this hand, I gave it to a youth, Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Outruns the eye that doth behold his haste, For his foul act by whom thy fair wife bleeds? Your Highness knows, comes to no further use O, what a happy title do I find, Uncle, I needs must pray that thou mayst lose; Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Fall Greeks; fail fame; honour or go or stay; Right glad I am he was not at this fray. MMVIII - "AMEWHETHERWEAR" A little month, or ere those shoes were old Most true it is that I have look'd on truth Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Whose aged honour cites a virtuous youth, Hot coals of vengeance! Let no soldier fly. Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Two strengthless doves will draw me through the sky, Here is the cap your worship did bespeak. Establish him in his true sense again, Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, What says she, fair one? that the tongues of men Enough to purchase what you have made known. As many fresh streams meet in one salt sea; Reigns in my blood and will remember'd be. MMIX - "EMENDEDORWHETH" Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, More than, I fear, you are provided for. Either be patient, and entreat me fair, Nay, speak thy mind; and let him ne'er speak more Do their gay vestments his affections bait? Even so void is your false heart of truth. Did move your greatness and this noble state O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth! Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Who sitting in the stocks refuge their shame, How many of you have mine eyes beheld! Envy your great deservings and good name, Thy hand once more; I will not loose again, Here in this country, where we now remain. MMX - "ERBETTERTHEYOR" Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! But not till I am dead. I'll say thou'st gold: Even like a man new haled from the rack, They come like sacrifices in their trim, The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Err'd in this point which now you censure him, Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt This kingdom, this confine of blood and breath, Had fasten'd him unto a small spare mast, Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. MMXI - "WHETHERREVOLUT" When subtle Greeks surprised King Priam's Troy, Here's a good world the while! Why who's so gross, Each opposite that blanks the face of joy The king in this perceives him, how he coasts Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Out of mine own; his days and times are past Like to the earth swallow her own increase. Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads? To see those borrow'd tears that Sinon sheds! MMXII - "IONBETHESAMEOS" It is religion that doth make vows kept; O'erworn, despised, rheumatic and cold, No, when my father York and Edward wept, By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Thou art a soldier, therefore seldom rich; He threw his wounded arm and kiss'd his lips; Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse, And let not Bardolph's vital thread be cut My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild; Should be to be protected like a child. MMXIII - "UREIAMTHEWITSO" Upon my wretched women, that so long Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Else had she with her father rang'd along. It shall be merciful and too severe, A woman I forswore; but I will prove, My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: When he is drunk asleep; or in his rage; I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, To be a make-peace shall become my age: Surprise me to the very brink of tears: On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! MMXIV - "FFORMERDAYSTOS" For more than blushing comes to: if your back Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content! Or lay on that shall make your shoulders crack. Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, My haste is very great: farewell; hie home. Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: And be it moon, or sun, or what you please; You, sirrah, provide your block and your axe So; now, methinks, I feel a little ease. To whom you are but as a form in wax O shame! where is thy blush? Rebellious hell, So thrive it in your game! and so, farewell. MMXV - "UBJECTSWORSEHA" Unto the crown of France. That you may know But that's no matter; let him kill one first; Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Come, come it nay not be. I wonder much, The best persuasions to the contrary Such and such pictures; there the window; such When you have pushed out your gates the very Of what hath come to pass: for when she saw-- Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Soft; by and by. Let me the curtains draw. Establish him in his true sense again, Here feelingly she weeps Troy's painted woes: Against the pope and count his friends my foes. MMXVI - "VEGIVENADMIRIN" Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is most dear, Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, Very hardly upon such a subject. East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Nothing is good, I see, without respect: Are they gone, and there they intend to sup. Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; My mother was the daughter of a king; If thou more murmur'st, I will rend an oak Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. If they do see thee, they will murder thee. Nor yet the other's distance comfort me. MMXVII - "GPRAISELIKEAST" Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath: Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid; Richard the second here was hack'd to death; And, by my faith, this league that we have made Inspire me, that I may this treason find! Say we intend to try his grace to-day. Entreated me to call and know her mind: Let's be no Stoics nor no stocks, I pray, If you bethink yourself of any crime Knighted in field, slain manfully in arms, Exception bid him speak, and at this time Are weakly fortress'd from a world of harms. Serving of becks and jutting-out of bums! That labour may you save: see where he comes. MMXVIII - "HEWAVESMAKETOW" Herbs for their smell, and sappy plants to bear: Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Whoever shoots at him, I set him there; Alas, sweet wife, my honour is at pawn; Visit the speechless sick and still converse Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse, My fairy lord, this must be done with haste, All Kent hath yielded; nothing there holds out Knowing that with the shadow of his wings Empale him with your weapons round about; That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Sir, your queen Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. But you, Lorenzo, whether I am yours? By holy marriage: when and where and how Long since thy husband served me in my wars, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Do you not see that I am out of breath? MMXX - "SHORESODOOURMI" Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? Her eyes seen in the tears, tears in her eye; On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Effect it with some care, that he may prove So sways she level in her husband's heart: Or bends with the remover to remove: Doth very foolishly, although he smart, One sin, I know, another doth provoke; O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Rather than render back, out with your knives, My restless discord loves no stops nor rests; I will both hear and grant you your requests. MMXXI - "NUTESHASTENTOT" Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats; Usurers' men! bawds between gold and want! This morning for ten thousand of your throats Each cheek a river running from a fount She knew his love, lest she make sport at it. Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! As having sense of beauty, do omit Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: To suck, to suck, the very blood to suck! Edward and York; then haply she will weep: No deeper wrinkles yet? hath sorrow struck This sleep is sound indeed; this is a sleep Opening on Neptune with fair blessed beams, Turns into yellow gold his salt green streams. MMXXII - "HEIRENDEACHCHA" Hath set the women on to this complaint: Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: I did suppose it should be on constraint: Reignier, her father, to the king of France Exposing what is mortal and unsure No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; Discharged. But come, your Bergomask: let your Each opposite that blanks the face of joy As Anna to the Queen of Carthage was- Clarence and Gloucester, love my lovely queen; He never was so womanish; the cause Cutting a smaller hair than may be seen, How long is't now since last yourself and I And so did I:--Well, we were born to die. MMXXIII - "NGINGPLACEWITH" No less in pity than his glory which Good traders in the flesh, set this in your It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Nay, sir, less than a pound shall serve me for Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: Paris should do some vengeance on the Greeks: Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep. Ah, my Lavinia, I will wipe thy cheeks. Call by thy trumpet. He that dares approach, Environ you, till mischief and despair Wouldst have me rescue thee from this reproach? It mourns that painting and usurping hair That 'gainst the stream of virtue they may strive, How many years a mortal man may live. MMXXIV - "THATWHICHGOESB" To make confession and to be absolved. He would not answer to: forbad all names; Ah, that thy father had been so resolved! The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims When Proteus cannot love where he's beloved. He hath the jewel of my life in hold, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. Constrain'd to watch in darkness, rain and cold. Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, God grant we never may have need of you! One that rejoices in the common wreck, Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Safe mayst thou wander, safe return again! Be pitiful, dread lord, and grant it then. MMXXV - "EFOREINSEQUENT" Edward will always bear himself as king: From fairies and the tempters of the night Or is it some abuse, and no such thing? Richly in both, if justice had her right. Else shall you not have any hand at all It is the bloody business which informs Not to be pardon'd, am content withal. Such as seafaring men provide for storms; Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Quit all offences with as clear excuse Upon the world dim darkness doth display, Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Now with the drops of this most balmy time To weigh how once I suffered in your crime. MMXXVI - "TOILALLFORWARD" The Duke of Buckingham's surveyor, ha? One, lady, if you knew his pure heart's truth, I, now the voice of the recorded law, Let it be so: I do commit his youth As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, Lord Buckingham, methinks, you watch'd her well: Lavinia, wert thou thus surprised, sweet girl, For thou hast made the happy earth thy hell, Of great Northumberland, whose bosom burns Reignier, her father, to the king of France We must supplant those rough rug-headed kerns, Awaked the sleeping rheum, and so by chance Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Despise me, when I break this oath of mine. MMXXVII - "SDOCONTENDNATI" So, either by thy picture or my love, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Of thee and me, and sighs, and takes my glove, Cats, that can judge as fitly of his worth Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, Now, neighbour confines, purge you of your scum. This night methinks is but the daylight sick; Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, And Anne my wife hath bid the world good night. Till he hath found a time to pay us home: I here discard my sickness! Soul of Rome!

Can have no note, unless the sun were post-- Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast It eats the sword it fights with. I will seek No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there.

Othello's occupation's gone! Like fragments in hard voyages, became In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Give me the paper; let me read the same; Her stand she takes upon a steep-up hill: That such immanity and bloody strife Come not within his danger by thy will; Retaining but a quantity of life, And shall she carry this unto her grave? What means this scorn, thou most untoward knave? MMXXX - "LSTOMATURITYWH" Let me, upon my knee, prevail in this. Sufficeth not that we are brought to Rome, To try his strength, forsaketh yet the lists Once did I get him bound and sent him home, Make up my sum. What wilt thou do for her? As that ungentle hull, the cuckoo's bird, Tame, and know their natures. Farewell, monsieur: Upon a fearful summons. I have heard Reignier, her father, to the king of France I will advise you where to plant yourselves; Thy dow'rless daughter, King, thrown to my chance, Your charity, and hundreds call themselves Whose church-like humours fits not for a crown. Here on this molehill will I sit me down. MMXXXI - "EREWITHBEINGCR" Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Every man shift for all the rest, and What! can so young a thorn begin to prick? I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours To be depender on a thing that leans, Henry the Fifth he first train'd to the wars; By humble message and by promised means: Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. In this point charge him home, that he affects No higher than thyself; the judge's clerk, Go search like nobles, like noble subjects, Come quickly, Montague, or I am dead. Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. MMXXXII - "OWNDCROOKEDELI" O, keep me from their worse than killing lust, Why, these are very crotchets that he speaks; Nay, after that, consume away in rust Drew sleep out of mine eyes, blood from my cheeks, Canst thou so daff me? Thou hast kill'd my child: Revenge it, as you love your mother's life, Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild; O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Expect him here: when he shall come and find Did steal behind him as he lay along Entreated me to call and know her mind: Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: In a light. Yet you see how this world goes. MMXXXIII - "PSESGAINSTHISG" Poor queen and son, your labour is but lost; So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. So many journeys may the sun and moon Great Agamemnon comes to meet us here. And what these sorrows could not thence exhale, I' faith, sir, you shall never need to fear; No sooner had they told this hellish tale, Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem: The time invites you. Go, your servants tend. Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; It will outrun you, father, in the end. So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse Go, take it up unto thy master's use. MMXXXIV - "LORYFIGHTANDTI" Let him be crown'd; in him your comfort lives: O, yes, I saw sweet beauty in her face, Rather than render back, out with your knives, You have, my lord: would it might please your grace, For he that brought them, in the very heat Is your perfection. This is Timon's last; Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests And not bewray thy treason with a blush? Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Do on the oak, hive with one winter's brush The chief perfections of that lovely dame In your behalf still will I wear the same. MMXXXV - "METHATGAVEDOTH" Mark and perform it, see'st thou! for the fail Each changing place with that which goes before, This gentleman told somewhat of my tale,-- Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war And never be forgot in mighty Rome That make her good? O, let her brother live! Go back again, and be new beaten home? And that his beauty may the better thrive, Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Do in his name religiously demand Officed with me: we two will walk, my lord, To do brave acts. He was indeed the glass He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass. MMXXXVI - "NOWHISGIFTCONF" Not he which says the dead is not alive. Or take his life there: this if she perform, Which to requite, command me while I live. Had not been here to dress the ugly form I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats; Since Henry Monmouth first began to reign, Great men should drink with harness on their throats. If I should pay your worship those again, Fall not a tear, I say; one of them rates To the descent and dust beneath thy foot, Confronts your city's eyes, your winking gates; Of all the world I loved and to him put Now must I to the monument alone; From thievish ears, because it is his own? MMXXXVII - "OUNDTIMEDOTHTR" Of many thousand kisses the poor last Unless she gave it to yourself in bed, Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast? Did you not tell me this fat man was dead? That brings me food to make misfortune live? I see I cannot get thy father's love; My faith and this the princess I did give: Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Do me but right, and you must all confess Our archers shall be placed in the midst Thron'd and set high?) servants, who seem no less, Have faculty by nature to subsist; Three months this youth hath tended upon me; Return again, and take an oath with thee. MMXXXVIII - "ANSFIXTHEFLOUR" An if my face were but as fair as yours, Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, For with the nightly linen that she wears It makes the consuls base: and my soul aches eXpecting in return twenty for one? That Phoebus' lute, the queen of music, makes; Hath rung night's yawning peal, there shall be done Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Full often, like a shag-hair'd crafty kern, Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, Under an osier growing by a brook, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. MMXXXIX - "ISHSETONYOUTHA" If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert; So many hours must I tend my flock; Having no more but thought of what thou wert, Shall chide your trespass and return your mock Enow to press a royal merchant down Thou, like an exorcist, hast conjured up Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Yet have I gold flies from another coast; Of what degree soever, with his brother. Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Thus will I fold them one on another: He well may be a stranger, for he comes A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! MMXL - "NDDELVESTHEPAR" Nay, Gloucester, know that thou art come too soon, Dinner is ready, and your father stays. Dial is now upon the prick of noon. Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Expect him here: when he shall come and find So that the ram that batters down the wall, Thou still hast been the father of good news. Have all limed bushes to betray thy wings, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Proud setter up and puller down of kings! And yet would herein others' eyes were worse. Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. MMXLI - "ALLELSINBEAUTY" A thing divine, for nothing natural Let him have time against himself to rave, Let me be cruel, not unnatural; Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! So shouldst thou either turn my flying soul, I mind to tell him plainly what I think. Now must I hide his body in some hole, But ne'er till now his scandal of retire. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. A letter, that she loves the knight of Tyre! Upon Good-Friday and ne'er broke his fast: To bend the fatal instruments of war You're welcome. What's your will? Give us leave, drawer. MMXLII - "SBROWFEEDSONTH" See how my sword weeps for the poor king's death! But I will prove that two on's are as good Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Or Daphne roaming through a thorny wood, What says Andronicus to this device? For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Either for life or death, upon the earth Deck'd in thy rights, as thou art stall'd in mine! Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp Offer pure incense to so pure a shrine: Now are we well resolved; and, by God's help, That inward breaks, and shows no cause without Hang nothing but a calf's-skin, most sweet lout. MMXLIII - "ERARITIESOFNAT" Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. As if some mermaid did their ears entice, Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, I would be blind with weeping, sick with groans, To be the dowry of a second head, Is this the poultice for my aching bones? Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? So then two bosoms and a single troth. O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, For me, that I may surely keep mine oath, Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth As far as I could ken thy chalky cliffs, To be corrupted with my worthless gifts. MMXLIV - "URESTRUTHANDNO" Unbind my hands, I'll pull them off myself, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Else would he never so demean himself. Said he young Harry Percy's spur was cold? To whom 'tis instant due. Ne'er speak, or think, Reserve their character with golden quill Under love's heavy burden do I sink. The locks between her chamber and his will, Had you not been their father, these white flakes And now, forsooth, takes on him to reform Nay, stay; lets hear the orisons he makes. Delighted them in any other form; Now are they but one lamp, one light, one sun. O, one too much by thee! Why had I one? MMXLV - "THINGSTANDSBUT" Thou plantest scandal and displacest laud: He's walking in the garden--thus; and spurns Is this the Talbot, so much fear'd abroad Northumberland, say thus the king returns: Great king, I am no strumpet, by my life; Save a proud rider on so proud a back. The red blood reek'd, to show the painter's strife; As thunder when the clouds in autumn crack. Neither disturbed with the effect of wine, Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Something from Cyprus as I may divine: But I confess, sir, that we were lock'd out. Upon the like devotion as yourselves, The people's hearts, and wean them from themselves. MMXLVI - "FORHISSCYTHETO" For to a pretty ear she tunes her tale; O, they love least that let men know their love. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Have sent to thee, to receive the meed of Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains, So I return rebuked to my content Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains Convey me Salisbury into his tent, Yet did repent me, after more advice; The oldest sins the newest kind of ways? He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Of marching to Philippi presently? MMXLVII - "MOWANDYETTOTIM" May yet ere night yield both my life and them Of thy dear husband, than that horrid act Withal, what I have been, and what I am. Are of imagination all compact: Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, Despise me, when I break this oath of mine. Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign That excellent grand tyrant of the earth, Thy grief is but thy absence for a time. O noble lord, bethink thee of thy birth! To use my wings. Impute it not a crime I will not hold thee long: if I do live, Mistress Ford: we will thrive, lads, we will thrive. MMXLVIII - "ESINHOPEMYVERS" Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. She made good view of me; indeed, so much, In Pericles, his queen and daughter, seen, No glory lives behind the back of such. How calm and gentle I proceeded still O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get? Priests pray for enemies, but princes kill. Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set More measure of this measure; be not nice. Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Swear nature's death for framing thee so fair. MMXLIX - "ESHALLSTANDPRA" Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, How low am I, thou painted maypole? speak; And labour shall refresh itself with hope, Love to myself and to no love beside. Lend me thy hand, and I will give thee mine. Slack'd, not suppress'd; for standing by her side, Then speak the truth by her; if not divine, A foot of honour better than I was; Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, Dear general, I never gave you cause. Poison and treason are the hands of sin, Return and tell him so: we know the worst. And I will speak, that so my heart may burst. MML - "ISINGTHYWORTHD" If all these pretty ills shall change thy good, So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench I shall not be hang'd now, although I would; Now keep your holy word: go meet the French, Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach. Though they did change me to the meanest bird Her mother, ever strong against that match You shall not go: one cannot speak a word, With purpose presently to leave this war. O absence, what a torment wouldst thou prove, Refuse you for my judge; whom, yet once more, The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, Had the full view of, such a noise arose Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. MMLI - "ESPITEHISCRUEL" Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Steal forth thy father's house to-morrow night; Presents more woeful pageants than the scene I thank thee, Moon, for shining now so bright; The time when screech-owls cry and ban-dogs howl, Either for life or death, upon the earth Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. I'll nothing do on charge: to her own worth So, so; now sit: and look you eat no more Cousin of York, we institute your grace Remove these thoughts from you: the which before Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead! MMLII - "HANDISITTHYWIL" Hence ever then my heart is in thy breast. Ay, marry, sir, now it begins to work. Now one the better, then another best; Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, I thank my beauty, I am fair that shoot, So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. If I do find him fit, I'll move your suit Then leave this chat; and, good Biron, now prove Though now you have no sea-cap on your head. His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt Yet none does know, but you, how she came dead, Watching breeds leanness, leanness is all gaunt: I take it, she that carries up the train Leaving his spoil perplex'd in greater pain. MMLIII - "LTHYIMAGESHOUL" Lascivious metres, to whose venom sound That grew the more by reaping: his delights He jests at scars that never felt a wound. Yet here she is allow'd her virgin rites, Is to let forth my foul-defiled blood. May all the building in my fancy pluck And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud. Great men have reaching hands: oft have I struck End in one purpose, and be all well borne So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? How to choose right, but I am then forsworn; Only for propagation of a dower Under this conjuration, speak, my lord; Love give me strength! and strength shall help afford. MMLIV - "DKEEPOPENMYHEA" Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Parcel the sum of my disgraces by O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Put finger in the eye, an she knew why. Enough: my soul shall then be satisfied. No one but he should be about the king; Might thus have stood begetting wonder as You'll not be perjured, 'tis a hateful thing; He needs as many, sir, as Caesar has; Entreat her not the worse in that I pray And we'll strive to please you every day. MMLV - "VYEYELIDSTOTHE" Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Yet with the fault I thus far can dispense; England shall give him office, honour, might; You must needs dine with me: go not you hence Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Impostors to true fear, would well become Doth too too oft betake him to retire, So thou refuse to drink my dear sons' blood. The hope and expectation of thy time Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? To weigh how once I suffered in your crime. Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMLVI - "WEARYNIGHTDOST" With this regard their currents turn awry Ere I could make thee open thy white hand And let another half stand laughing by, Regard me as I do not flatter, and You kill'd her husband, and for that vile fault Not what you are, I know it will excuse I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault, Go, take it up unto thy master's use. Hath made us forward. But, my gentle queen, That I do brag thus! This your air of France Dish of some three-pence; your honours have seen Or how haps it I seek not to advance Speak, gentle niece, what stern ungentle hands The burning torch in yonder turret stands. MMLVII - "THOUDESIREMYSL" That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot Hold, Toby; on thy life I charge thee, hold! Of my lord's health, of his content, yet not Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Shall witness live in brass of this day's work: In limited professions. Rascal thieves, Recking as little what betideth me Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Mud not the fountain that gave drink to thee; You know your own degrees; sit down: at first Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! MMLVIII - "UMBERSSHOULDBE" Unless thou let his silver water keep My lady, to the manner of the days, Before the always wind-obeying deep Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Reason becomes the marshal to my will See you these, husband? do not these fair yokes Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill, How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? O perjured woman! thou dost stone my heart, Until the queen his mistress bury it. Let them have scope: though what they do impart Did never traitor in the land commit. But for supporting robbers, shall we now Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MMLIX - "BROKENWHILESHA" Before the common distribution, at Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill: On what compulsion must I? tell me that. Knowing all measures, the full Caesar will Either of king or council, when you went Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Words, life and all, old Lancaster hath spent. Her body's stain her mind untainted clears; I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis, Look ye draw home enough, and 'tis there straight. Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Soft pity enters at an iron gate. He was but as the cuckoo is in June, And yet methinks I do not like this tune. MMLX - "DOWSLIKETOTHEE" Disguise us at my lodging and return, Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, Will none but Herne the hunter serve your turn? Steeples and moss-grown towers. At your birth Like little frosts that sometime threat the spring, I cannot now prove constant to myself, King did I call thee? no, thou art not king, England is safe, if true within itself? To match with her that brings no vantages. Of many thousand kisses the poor last Turning past evils to advantages. Her father's liking; which to bring to pass, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Environed with all these hideous fears? MMLXI - "DOMOCKMYSIGHTI" Death: her death itself, which could not be her Of guns and drums and wounds,--God save the mark!-- More than you doubt the change on't, that prefer O, thus I found her, straying in the park, Cursed be the hand that made these fatal holes! Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair, Make this his latest farewell to their souls. Your oath once broke, you force not to forswear. She throws her eyes about the painting round, If we be English deer, be then in blood; Giving myself a voluntary wound Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood, Then murders, treasons and detested sins, Inconstancy falls off ere it begins. MMLXII - "SITTHYSPIRITTH" Spurn at his edict and fulfil a man's? I will not kiss thee; then the rot returns Take heed; for he holds vengeance in his hands, The more thou damm'st it up, the more it burns. Have made them mules, silenced their pleaders and Yield to his humour, smooth and speak him fair, She says you have some goodly jest in hand: Proteus, I thank thee for thine honest care; I have spoke long: be pleased yourself to say Resolve your angry father, if my tongue If thou love me, 'tis time thou wert away. To recreate himself when he hath sung, To give their bed joy and prosperity. He'ld make an end of thy posterity. MMLXIII - "ATTHOUSENDSTFR" As if my brother lived: I partly think To be depender on a thing that leans, To give mine enemy a lasting wink; Hath heard your praises; and this night he means O, yes, my lord, but very idle words; Unto the king be by, and then his state Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Now, God be praised, that to believing souls Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud; Forgive my fearful sails! I little thought Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MMLXIV - "OMTHEESOFARFRO" Of the most pious Edward with such grace My deeds upon my head! I crave the law, The beauty that is borne here in the face Her eyes, though sod in tears, look'd red and raw, Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Sickness is catching: O, were favour so, Of one or both of us the time is come. For fly he could not, if he would have fled; And it is thought abroad, that 'twixt my sheets Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: First, good Peter Quince, say what the play treats Return of love, more blest may be the view; O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you. MMLXV - "MHOMEINTOMYDEE" Mercy to thee would prove itself a bawd: Her highness is in safety, fear you not: Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad, My nephew's trespass may be well forgot; Even or odd, of all days in the year, I dare be bound he's true and shall perform Nor now my scandal, Richard, dost thou hear; That keeps his leaves in spite of any storm, Only, good master, while we do admire My swift command, though I with death and with You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre, Deliver'd to us; and for him forthwith, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Environed with all these hideous fears? MMLXVI - "DSTOPRYTOFINDO" Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines? See, see! they join, embrace, and seem to kiss, That spoil'd your summer fields and fruitful vines, O that your Highness knew my heart in this! Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, You wrong me, sir, thus still to haunt my house: Thy mermaid's voice hath done me double wrong; Or aught intend'st to lay unto my charge, False to his children or his wife's allies I never tempted her with word too large; Not daring trust the office of mine eyes, Dispersed those vapours that offended us; Of this great sport together, as you guess? MMLXVII - "UTSHAMESANDIDL" Upon thy feature; for my rage was blind, Then sit we down, and let us all consult. Stigmatical in making, worse in mind. Hath that poor monarch taught thee to insult? And if we did but glance a far-off look, Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets, Else you may be marvellously mistook. Should have shook lions into civil streets, And of so easy and so plain a stop Now to deliver her possession up Discourse, I prithee, on this turret's top. I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Do you damn others, and let this damn you, Live cleanly as a nobleman should do. MMLXVIII - "EHOURSINMETHES" Even for revenge mock my destruction! His plate, his goods, his money and his lands. Of thy intents desires instruction, Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Shall never leak, though it do work as strong In that thou seest thy wretched brother die, Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! My father is gone wild into his grave, Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast To Italy; and there at Venice gave Here stand we both, and aim we at the best: Even or odd, of all days in the year, Since you are dear bought, I will love you dear. MMLXIX - "COPEANDTENOROF" Combine your hearts in one, your realms in one! O Westmoreland, thou art a summer bird, Publius, Publius, what hast thou done? Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Arise forth from the couch of lasting night, None but a holy hermit and her maid. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! Thy sin's not accidental, but a trade. Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Not for Cadwallader and all his goats. Or on Diana's altar to protest Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: O Thou, whose captain I account myself, For Pyramus therein doth kill himself. MMLXX - "THYJEALOUSYONO" The rich proud cost of outworn buried age; He that had wit would think that I had none, Yet oftentimes it doth present harsh rage, Justice with favour have I always done; Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. And she will speak most bitterly and strange. Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. Or quit in answer of the third exchange, Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard: So many summers dry; scarce any joy Your worth is very dear in my regard. Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: Now, Richard, I am with thee here alone: On any soul removed but on his own. MMLXXI - "THYLOVETHOUGHM" That give a name to every fixed star Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere Yet nature might have made me as these are, Lord Angelo hath to the public ear Only my blood speaks to you in my veins; Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Endue you with the people's voice: remains Then it is thus: the passions of the mind, He that unbuckles this, till we do please O Warwick, Warwick! I foresee with grief Upon the next live creature that it sees. Go to, we pardon thee: therefore, in brief, Have moved his highness to commit me now. My father had a mole upon his brow. MMLXXII - "UCHISNOTSOGREA" Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; Casca will tell us what the matter is. How high a pitch his resolution soars! I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis, Such as seafaring men provide for storms; Now, by Saint Paul, this news is bad indeed. Or blot with hell-born sin such saint-like forms. Therefore your best appointment make with speed; So doth the swan her downy cygnets save, One vial full of Edward's sacred blood, Go, base intruder! overweening slave! Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange And she will speak most bitterly and strange. MMLXXIII - "TITISMYLOVETHA" There let them bide until we have devised If I lose them, thus find I by their loss Treason, my lord! Lavinia is surprised! If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, Sacrifice: where air comes out, air comes in: Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks Your laboursome and dainty trims, wherein Let them coin his nose, let them coin his cheeks: O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Then know that I, one Snug the joiner, am He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause. And leave no memory of what it was! MMLXXIV - "TKEEPSMINEEYEA" To your proceedings? do not seek to stuff Know you not, master, to some kind of men Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Establish him in his true sense again, Proceed in justice, which shall have due course, Spoke with how manifold and strong a bond Most noble! in the presence of thy corse? I laugh to see your ladyship so fond No, lord ambassador, I'll rather keep Except thou wilt except against my love. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Your quondam wife swears still by Venus' glove: Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. And better in my mind not undertook. MMLXXV - "WAKEMINEOWNTRU" What you would work me to, I have some aim: As late I have been, I not know: thy pulse King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, Except you mean with obstinate repulse Mort de ma vie! all is confounded, all! Impossible be strange attempts to those No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call; Except it be to pray against thy foes. Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish With purple falchion, painted to the hilt Nor leave not one behind that doth not wish Thee thither in a whirlwind. If thou wilt, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Under that bond that him as fast doth bind. MMLXXVI - "ELOVETHATDOTHM" Expecting in return twenty for one? Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, O, spare me not, my brother Edward's son, Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, To meet me at the consecrated fount His crest that prouder than blue Iris bends. As one that surfeits thinking on a want. That one day bloom'd and fruitful were the next. Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused Or so devote to Aristotle's checks This only is the witchcraft I have used: His father never was so true begot: Made wit with musing weak, heart sick with thought. MMLXXVII - "YRESTDEFEATTOP" You envy my advancement and my friends': Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, So will I turn her virtue into pitch, Touching the jointure that your king must make, Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; England we love; and for that England's sake Find native graves; upon the which, I trust, Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What As thoughts do blow them, higher and higher. That fell away have entertainment, but That to his borrow'd bed he make retire, One hundred twenty six: added to these, Prithee go in thyself; seek thine own ease. MMLXXVIII - "LAYTHEWATCHMAN" Like to a tenement or pelting farm: A Roman now adopted happily, You know an enemy intends you harm; Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily. Hast thou met with him? Send thy man away. Establish him in his true sense again, Which seem'd to tell them his remembrance lay Ay, thou wast born to be a plague to men. Take thou that too, with multiplying bans! Consider, lords, he is the next of blood, How fain, like Pilate, would I wash my hands Marking the embarked traders on the flood, And at that instant like a babe sprung up. Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. MMLXXIX - "EVERFORTHYSAKE" Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his For I will board her though she chide as loud Offers, as I do, in a sign of peace, Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, To mend the petty present, I will piece Hearing the surges threat: we must all part Yet now I must confess, that duty done, So sways she level in her husband's heart: And pay no worship to the garish sun. King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Else had she with her father rang'd along. MMLXXX - "FORTHEEWATCHIW" For such a wish! he was not born to shame: Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves, Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves. Hold, Warwick, seek thee out some other chase, Enough, captain: you have astonished him. Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim And none but he, to marry with Nan Page. That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops-- Calm thee, and bear the faults of Titus' age, His tears run down his beard, like winter's drops In Caesar's name pronounce I 'gainst thee: look What dogs are these? Where is the rascal cook? MMLXXXI - "HILSTTHOUDOSTW" How we may steal from hence, and for the gap I will not rise, unless your highness grant. Love me or love me not, I like the cap; Stand by me, Lucius; do not fear thine aunt. To bar my master's heirs in true descent, Take heed you dally not before your king; His deeds with doing them, and is content Or half her worthiness that gave the ring, Unless the master were the man. How now! Dry up in her the organs of increase; Of your profession? Speak, what trade art thou? Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse. MMLXXXII - "AKEELSEWHEREFR" As plays the sun upon the glassy streams, Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. So many blows upon this face of mine, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. With your uncleanness that which is divine; How shall this bisson multitude digest Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Exampled by the first pace that is sick Farewell to me, sir, and welcome to you. Roses of shadow, since his rose is true? MMLXXXIII - "OMMEFAROFFWITH" O, that I knew thy heart; and knew the beast, My lord, this is my daughter here asleep; More stern and bloody than the Centaurs' feast. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Fortune had left to both of us alike And climb the highest promontory top. Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. Open your ears; for which of you will stop For grief is proud and makes his owner stoop. For native blood is counted painting now; Would it not shame thee in so fair a troop I swear to thee, by Cupid's strongest bow, To thrust his icy fingers in my maw, He is not with himself; let us withdraw. MMLXXXIV - "OTHERSALLTOONE" Of any true decision. Nature craves To charge me to an answer, as the pope. He throws upon the gross world's baser slaves: England did never owe so sweet a hope, Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: She shall be married to this noble earl. And won her soul; and she, sweet lady, dotes, Lavinia, wert thou thus surprised, sweet girl, Lo, whilst I waited on my tender lambs, To second ills with ills, each elder worse, Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Nor, I am sure, there is not force in eyes Envy the great nor do the low despise. MMLXXXV - "ARSINOFSELFLOV" Absolute madness could so far have raved Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Six of his labours you'ld have done, and saved In number more than ever women spoke, No doubt, my liege, if each man do his best. O, call not me to justify the wrong Fie, fie, Gratiano! where are all the rest? Speak to great Caesar as he comes along. Early and late, debating to and fro Live you the marble-breasted tyrant still; Fear not, my lord, your servant shall do so. Let me have judgment and the Jew his will. O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. MMLXXXVI - "EPOSSESSETHALL" Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close O, had they in that darksome prison died! Sky-planted batters all rebelling coasts? Sleeping or waking must I still prevail, Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Strange images of death. As thick as hail Shall be my friend again and I'll be his: Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought To have me fold up Parca's fatal web? He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught And swell so much the higher by their ebb. Look up a-height. The shrill-gorg'd lark so far Like captives bound to a triumphant car. MMLXXXVII - "MINEEYEANDALLM" My heart is sorry for your daughter's death: I am a lamb: but if you brave the Moor, Now is my day's work done; I'll take good breath: Exposing what is mortal and unsure Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Yet, if my lord will marry,--if you will, sir, England we love; and for that England's sake An if your highness knew my heart, you were. None, sir; I have no pheasant, cock nor hen. Discover more at large what cause that was, Are not the speedy scouts return'd again, Let me have time and counsel for my cause: Leave off delays, and let us raise the siege. My gracious sovereign, my most loving liege! MMLXXXVIII - "YSOULANDALLMYE" You would for paradise break faith, and troth; Sir, you and I must part, but that's not it: O, would he did! and so perhaps he doth: Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; Leave not the worthy Lucius, good my lords, Are these the breed of wits so wonder'd at? Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Did lack a parallel; yet for all that Answer no more, for thou shalt be my queen. Lest he that is the supreme King of kings Lord Warwick, on thy shoulder will I lean; Met I my father with his bleeding rings, Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MMLXXXIX - "VERYPARTANDFOR" Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Remove these thoughts from you: the which before You told how Diomed, a whole week by days, Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Ay, the most peerless piece of earth, I think, Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Tread on the sand; why, there you quickly sink: And sue a friend came debtor for my sake; Now in his life, against your holy oath? Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake, For virtue's office never breaks men's troth. Of him that did not ask, but mock, bestow Rather than triumph in so false a foe. MMXC - "THISSINTHEREIS" To entertain me as your steward still. Hourly afflict: merely, thou art death's fool; I'll ever serve his mind with my best will; So long as out of limit and true rule Shook off my sober guards and civil fears; I send it through the rivers of your blood, No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Thus are my blossoms blasted in the bud His taken labours bid him me forgive; Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Extinguishing his conduct in this case; It had been so with us, had we been there. Should bring thy father to his drooping chair. MMXCI - "NOREMEDYITISSO" Namely, some love that drew him oft from home. Of him that makes it: then, if sickly ears, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Environed with all these hideous fears? More bright in zeal than the devotion which Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch: Your grace is welcome to a man disgraced, I pant for life. Some good I mean to do, This shall assure my constant loyalty, If they return in their own shapes to woo? Setting aside his high blood's royalty, Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge: O, all you gods! O pretty, pretty pledge! MMXCII - "GROUNDEDINWARD" Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. Remembers me of all his gracious parts, O, then I see that madmen have no ears. Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Now thinks he that her husband's shallow tongue,-- Dispropertied their freedoms, holding them, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Done to me, undeserving as I am, Is as the maiden's organ, shrill and sound, Now crack thy lungs, and split thy brazen pipe: Where fathom-line could never touch the ground, And put a barren sceptre in my gripe, Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. MMXCIII - "INMYHEARTMETHI" It would infect his speech, that if the king Now thy proud neck bears half my burthen'd yoke; My horse, my ox, my ass, my any thing, You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? Early and late, debating to and fro As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs, Rather than triumph in so false a foe. The fraud of England, not the force of France, More bright in zeal than the devotion which Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: The truest manner'd; such a holy witch He has borne all things well: and I do think I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink. MMXCIV - "NKSNOFACESOGRA" No, not to stay the finding of the axe, Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. Nor shall not, if I do as I intend. Oh, he is young and his minority For thy solicitor shall rather die And yet, in substance and authority, Cry shame upon her? Could she here deny England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Stop in your wind, sir: tell me this, I pray: Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? Good lords, make all the speedy haste you may. Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, A hundred marks, my Kate does put her down. MMXCV - "CIOUSISASMINEN" Choked with ambition of the meaner sort: If broken, then it is no fault of mine. Or, if she be accused in true report, Unto a view so false will not incline; So do not you, for you are a light wench. I never saw an action of such shame; So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench And fright her crying babe with Tarquin's name; See, see the pining malady of France; Make use of time, let not advantage slip; Inclinable to honour and advance Now am I like that proud insulting ship Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! MMXCVI - "OSHAPESOTRUENO" Of the old rage: bear with me, I am sick; Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; He hath a garden circummured with brick, As if some mermaid did their ears entice, Place you that side; I'll take the charge of this: Exception bid him speak, and at this time Swelling on either side to want his bliss; Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb To tie the rider she begins to prove: Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? One drunkard loves another of the name. MMXCVII - "TRUTHOFSUCHACC" Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Rome will despise her for this foul escape. Upon the life of this thrice-famed duke. To take the basest and most poorest shape Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; Only be patient till we have appeased For thou art not so long by the head as She makes it strange; but she would be best pleased Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Cry, Trojans, cry! practise your eyes with tears! Had the full view of, such a noise arose As I have such a heart that both mine ears Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, Come, side by side together live and die. MMXCVIII - "OUNTANDFORMYSE" O, who can give an oath? where is a book? Unready! ay, and glad we 'scaped so well. Narcissus so himself himself forsook, This sound of hope doth labour to expel; And, after that wise prince, Henry the Fifth, Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, Deal with poison; I will possess him with For going on death's net, whom none resist. Of that proud man that did usurp his back? Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack: Yet are these feet, whose strengthless stay is numb, Sail how thou canst, have wind and tide thy friend, Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? MMXCIX - "LFMINEOWNWORTH" Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. For, like an ass whose back with ingots bows, My love with words and errors still she feeds; I knit my handercher about your brows, Now, gods that we adore, whereof comes this? Each in his office ready at thy beck. Or daring-hardy as to touch the lists, Weeping again the king my father's wreck, Now all is done, have what shall have no end: With courtesy and with respect enough; On yon young boy: I'll tell thee what, my friend, Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, This before all the world do I prefer; Here, noble lord; what is thy will with her? MMC - "DODEFINEASIALL" Doth not the object cheer your heart, my lord? O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! Dumain was at my service, and his sword: End in one purpose, and be all well borne For thy complexion shifts to strange effects, If of my freedom 'tis the main part, take Not whom we will, but whom his grace affects, Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Anon, as patient as the female dove Stirr'd up by God, thus boldly for his king: In thunder and in earthquake, like a Jove, And know how well I have deserved the ring, Let us not live in France; let us quit all Let's reason with the worst that may befall. MMCI - "OTHERINALLWORT" O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Thy dow'rless daughter, King, thrown to my chance, His foes are so enrooted with his friends Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Into the chamber wickedly he stalks, Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! And so let's leave her to her silent walks. Let's see for means: O mischief, thou art swift Look how he can, she cannot choose but love; Whom best I love I cross; to make my gift, Of thee and me, and sighs, and takes my glove, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. To link my dear friend to a common stale. MMCII - "HSSURMOUNTBUTW" Have done thy charm, thou hateful wither'd hag! Say, is my kingdom lost? why, 'twas my care Stand for your own; unwind your bloody flag; Upon his bloody finger he doth wear Resolved for flight. Now were I happy, if Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff Unto another lady of esteem: Nor tempt the danger of my true defence; The doctor is well money'd, and his friends By rushing in their houses, bearing thence Unless thou couldst return to make amends? This head of safety; and withal to pry Will you give thanks, sweet Kate, or else shall I? MMCIII - "HENMYGLASSSHOW" He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: No, my good lord; he speaks the common tongue, Making dead wood more blest than living lips. You that will be less fearful than discreet, God bless my ladies! are they all in love, Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet. As is the sucking lamb or harmless dove: Scarce show a harvest of their heavy toil: Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough Stain'd with the variation of each soil His lady banish'd, and a limb lopp'd off. O, what a sympathy of woe is this, What were thy lips the worse for one poor kiss? MMCIV - "SMEMYSELFINDEE" She had not brought forth thee, but died unkind. My love should kindle to inflam'd respect. Entreated me to call and know her mind: Make livers pale and lustihood deject. You may be jogging whiles your boots are green; Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Levied an army, weening to redeem For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, If she unmask her beauty to the moon. Never did faithful subject more rejoice Dial is now upon the prick of noon. Each one demand an answer to his part Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMCV - "DBEATEDANDCHOP" Do you not hope your children shall be kings, Bear thou my hand, sweet wench, between thy teeth. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: And yours of Helena to me bequeath, Things for the cook, sir; but I know not what. Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Devils' additions, the names of fiends: but And that to-morrow you will bring it home. No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Conscience is but a word that cowards use, Have we not lost most part of all the towns, Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon Play, music, then! Nay, you must do it soon. MMCVI - "PDWITHTANNDANT" Pies; mace; dates?--none, that's out of my note; Doth add more grief to too much of mine own. Who in despite of view is pleased to dote; I'll not to bed to-night; let me alone; The goodly objects which abroad they find Hath clapp'd his tail between his legs and cried: That was not forced; that never was inclined And speaks not to himself but with a pride Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place, Nay, stay; lets hear the orisons he makes. Durst not presume to look once in the face. A thousand fiends, a thousand hissing snakes, No might nor greatness in mortality That rage in savage sensuality. MMCVII - "IQUITYMINEOWNS" I claim her not, and therefore she is thine. Quite from himself to God. But now behold, Unto a view so false will not incline; I know you all, and will awhile uphold They come like sacrifices in their trim, Your honours shall perceive how I will work My lady's honour: what became of him In faith, I gave it to the judge's clerk: Nor wish no less; and so, I take my leave. Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Or something hath the nothing that I grieve: When as I met the boar, that bloody beast, No, I protest, I know not the contents; Some entertainment for them in their tents. MMCVIII - "ELFLOVEQUITECO" Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Like fragments in hard voyages, became For such an end thou seek'st,--as base as strange. Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, O Regan, wilt thou take her by the hand? Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Every man shift for all the rest, and Quiet thy cudgel; thou dost see I eat. Upon the very naked name of love. I am no breeching scholar in the schools, To spite a raven's heart within a dove. Either they must be dieted like mules Can yet the lease of my true love control, O, how this discord doth afflict my soul! MMCIX - "NTRARYIREADSEL" Neglected my sworn duty in that case. Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily. Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: A Roman now adopted happily, Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, You sleeping safe, they bring to you unrest; I wrote him Imogen was slain: 'tis strange: Revenue, execution of the rest, Even like a man new haled from the rack, And swear I got them in the Gallia wars. Doth my name lodge? tell me, that I may sack Should lift their bosoms higher than the shores Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. MMCX - "FSOSELFLOVINGW" Forbid the sea for to obey the moon Set down, set down your honourable load, O boy, thy father gave thee life too soon, Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Letters from him! why comes he not himself? For swallowing the treasure of the realm: Lest your displeasure should enlarge itself O, here he is! Lay hand upon him.- Sir, Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, I see you do not mean to part with her; No want of conscience hold it that I call Grace, I hope: that were a trick indeed! but Was I a child to fear I know not what. MMCXI - "EREINIQUITYTIS" Every man shift for all the rest, and Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Ere I could make thee open thy white hand If you speak truth, for their poor mistress' sake; Nor shines the silver moon one half so bright I have sent Cloten's clotpoll down the stream, Question enrages him. At once, good night: Unless it be whilst some tormenting dream I know not what he shall. God send him well! The king and his companions: warily Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell Though news be sad, yet tell them merrily; I have no precious time at all to spend, Speak for yourselves; my wit is at an end. MMCXII - "THEEMYSELFTHAT" There be moe wasps that buzz about his nose He is complete in feature and in mind Except it be to pray against thy foes. Expect him here: when he shall come and find My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Your single bond; and, in a merry sport, Sir Richard, what think you? have you beheld, Except some petty towns of no import: Love's stories written in love's richest book. Forsake unsounded deeps to dance on sands. These offices, so oft as thou wilt look, Her suit is now to repossess those lands; And place my merit in the eye of scorn, These few days' wonder will be quickly worn. MMCXIII - "FORMYSELFIPRAI" For many lives stand between me and home: O good old man, how well in thee appears Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, My heart's deep languor and my soul's sad tears: Your resolution cannot hold, when 'tis So is it not with me as with that Muse Ere such another Julius. Britain is Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, For Talbot means no goodness by his looks. I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, Poor women's faces are their own fault's books. Record it with your high and worthy deeds: And let thy misty vapours march so thick, I will not speak with him. Say I am sick. MMCXIV - "SEPAINTINGMYAG" Such commendations as becomes a maid, English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Proclaim them traitors that are up with Cade; Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault, Nor ever had one penny bribe from France. There's something in me that reproves my fault; Inclinable to honour and advance No, when my father York and Edward wept, Give me your hand and say you will be mine. Must gently be preserved, cherish'd, and kept: Yea, and much better blood than his or thine. And, gallant Warwick, do but answer this: Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. MMCXV - "EWITHBEAUTYOFT" Either of king or council, when you went Why would he for the momentary trick I could not do withal; then I'll repent, To wear a kerchief! Would you were not sick! His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes; But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? Except it be to pray against thy foes. And controversy hence a question takes, Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, The mariners say how thou hast disposed You stand upon the ravage and behold Of things to come at large. It is supposed For which, I hope, thou felt'st I was displeased. These Kentish rebels would be soon appeased! MMCXVI - "HYDAYSAGAINSTM" How far into the morning is it, lords? You speak not like yourself; who ever yet Doors, that were ne'er acquainted with their wards A craftier Tereus, cousin, hast thou met, You press me far, and therefore I will yield. She could have run and waddled all about; And Westmoreland, and Stafford, fled the field; Going to find a bare-foot brother out As yet I do not: but, as I can learn, I had as lief have my mistress a jade. Now, Kate, I am a husband for your turn; Stand by my side, you whom the gods have made That purpose merriment. But fare you well: Maintain--I know not what: 'tis trash. Farewell. MMCXVII - "YLOVESHALLBEAS" Your breath first kindled the dead coal of wars Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve On this side my hand, and on that side yours. Verona, for a while I take my leave, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice She did corrupt frail nature with some bribe, He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. An if thy stumps will let thee play the scribe. Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Let two more summers wither in their pride, But now the mindful messenger, come back, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. And when the fit was on him, I did mark Shall be discover'd; please you, sit and hark. MMCXVIII - "IAMNOWWITHTIME" I will not slay thee, but I'll drive thee back: And of their feather many more proud birds, My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack: No, good my lord; let's fight with gentle words Or blood-consuming sighs recall his life, We thank thee, gentle Percy, for thy pains; When I am absent, then lie with my wife. I am left out; for me nothing remains. That stout Pendragon in his litter sick Have felt the worst of death's destroying wound That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. Is not that he that lies upon the ground? Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. MMCXIX - "SINJURIOUSHAND" Some necessaries that I needs must use, If you had sent but two hours before,-- Now, Lovell, from the queen what is the news? Joint-ring, nor for measures of lawn, nor for Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, It were lost sorrow to wail one that's lost. One sees more devils than vast hell can hold, Unless she do it under this excuse, Sit, sit. The gods require our thanks. Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, And now at length they overflow their banks. Now counterfeit to swoon; why, now fall down; Did I impale him with the regal crown? MMCXX - "CRUSHDANDOERWO" Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Reignier, her father, to the king of France Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Since you are strangers and come here by chance, Huntsman, I charge thee, tender well my hounds; Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears And he hath bought the cottage and the bounds Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine Off with the crown, and with the crown his head; Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, Wiped off, in honourable keeping her. O, pray, let's see't: for the Lord Timon, sir? MMCXXI - "RNWHENHOURSHAV" Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. With ugly rack on his celestial face, How shall we then dispense with that contract, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Nor do I thee: though I did wish him dead, He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass. Or to be naked with her friend in bed Under your good correction, I have seen, Richly in both, if justice had her right. Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between Have brought you from Venice. Watch you to-night; A wife of such wood were felicity. Vilely compiled, profound simplicity. MMCXXII - "EDRAINDHISBLOO" Except it be to pray against thy foes. Do not cry havoc, where you should but hunt Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows A gallant knight he was, his name was Blunt; I have no relish of them, but abound Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Dead? or asleep? I see no blood, no wound. Hark, hark! I hear him, mistress. fly, be gone! If I unwittingly, or in my rage, So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! But makes antiquity for aye his page, Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. MMCXXIII - "DANDFILLDHISBR" Done to me, undeserving as I am, And, for thy humour, I will stay at home. Not measuring what use we made of them. Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, For parting us,--O, is it all forgot? If they should speak, would almost damn those ears, Like the brooch and the tooth-pick, which wear not Longer than I have time to tell his years! Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. Here you shall see a countryman of yours I would my skill were subject to thy curse. Saying, I liked her ere I went to wars. By all your vows of love and that great vow Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! MMCXXIV - "OWWITHLINESAND" Of disobedient opposition Why should that name be sounded more than yours? Wave thus, to express his disposition, It would not out at windows nor at doors. The gain I seek is quiet in the match. He shall submit, or I will never yield. Let us be jocund: will you troll the catch In beastly sort, dragg'd through the shameful field. None durst come near for fear of sudden death. Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Speak to thy father ere thou yield thy breath! And better in my mind not undertook. No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Descended of so many royal kings. MMCXXV - "WRINKLESWHENHI" What relish is in this? how runs the stream? Rome and the righteous heavens be my judge, Into your idle over-handled theme: Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge King Cerberus; and let the welkin roar. Let us address to tend on Hector's heels: Each changing place with that which goes before, Spurns at his love and scorns the heat he feels, Why write I still all one, ever the same, Her father hath commanded her to slip Envy your great deservings and good name, Now am I like that proud insulting ship Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, It is: and lo, where youthful Edward comes! MMCXXVI - "SYOUTHFULMORNH" Save base authority from others' books You love the breeder better than the male. O, full of careful business are his looks! Usurps her cheek; she trembles at his tale, To cross my friend in his intended drift He that has but effected his good will From the rich Jew, a special deed of gift, Up Fish Street! down Saint Magnus' Corner! Kill Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Madam, not yet: I go to take my stand, Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Regard me as I do not flatter, and Now you are heir, therefore enjoy it now: He is sir Robert's son, and so art thou. MMCXXVII - "ATHTRAVELLDONT" A pair so famous. High events as these Thou but offend'st thy lungs to speak so loud: He will the rather do it when he sees Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud; Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; Although assail'd with fortune fierce and keen, Virtue he had, deserving to command: Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Did not attend him as we rode? I think Of any constant man. What, worse and worse! Now welcome more, and ten times more beloved, That noble honour'd lord, is fear'd and loved? MMCXXVIII - "OAGESSTEEPYNIG" Out of the speech of peace, that bears such grace, And give to dust that is a little gilt Give it to me: what, is it in the case? England shall double gild his treble guilt; Safe at the Centaur; and the heedful slave Seek you to seize and gripe into your hands To bid his young son welcome to his grave? England, impatient of your just demands, Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Pardon, my liege, that I have stay'd so long. Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! In fellest manner execute your aims. God-den to your worship, good Captain James. MMCXXIX - "HTANDALLTHOSEB" Hence with it, and together with the dam The people know it; and have now received All on a heap, like to a slaughter'd lamb, Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived, Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, And make a conquest of unhappy me, Let him fear this, for it will come to pass Labouring men; and therefore should we be To rouse thee from thy bed, there art thou dead: He is already named, and gone to Scone Of what a monarchy you are the head: Since that the truest issue of thy throne England ne'er had a king until his time. Be guilty of my death, since of my crime. MMCXXX - "EAUTIESWHEREOF" Each cheek a river running from a fount And with deep groans the diapason bear; Usurers' men! bawds between gold and want! To be acknowledged: thou a sceptre's heir, If that your moody discontented souls Each Trojan that is master of his heart, Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes Were brought me of your loss and his depart. Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff; Entreated me to call and know her mind: Resolved for flight. Now were I happy, if Expect him here: when he shall come and find Or four and twenty times the pilot's glass From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! MMCXXXI - "NOWHESKINGAREV" Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, O, this will make my mother die with grief! Which from the vineyard to the garden leads; How true a gentleman you send relief, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Shall gild her bridal bed and make her rich Kissing with golden face the meadows green, It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, No more than were I painted I would wish Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; And of a dragon and a finless fish, Richer than that which four successive kings Else you may be marvellously mistook. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. MMCXXXII - "ANISHINGORVANI" A herald, Kate? O, put me in thy books! Never so needful on the earth of France, I know it by their pale and deadly looks: Stamp, rave, and fret, that I may sing and dance. Hath from the number of his banish'd years In golden palaces, as it becomes. Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, Good uncle Marcus, see how swift she comes. O' let me, true in love, but truly write, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back None else of name; and of all other men I'll serve thee true and faithfully till then. MMCXXXIII - "SHDOUTOFSIGHTS" Send for your ring, I will return it home, Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. To an unsettled fancy cure thy brains, One sees more devils than vast hell can hold, Full of unpleasing blots and sightless stains, Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, I know her spirits are as coy and wild Go, fellow, get thee home, provide some carts Had graced the tender temples of my child, The greatest wrong of all. He lost a wife Sir Thomas Gargrave, hast thou any life? MMCXXXIV - "TEALINGAWAYTHE" Than what befalls myself. You stand amazed; Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, And my estate deserves an heir more raised Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; I know her spirits are as coy and wild Now much beshrew my manners and my pride, Grief fills the room up of my absent child, And his comrades, that daff'd the world aside, What is't but to be nothing else but mad? And, being intercepted in your sport, You have no children, butchers! if you had, To teach you gamut in a briefer sort, High sparks of honour in thee have I seen. Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MMCXXXV - "TREASUREOFHISS" To give mine enemy a lasting wink; Ready to catch each other by the throat, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, And feed on curds and whey, and suck the goat, Some honest Christian trust me with a gage Unapt for tender smell or speedy flight, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! England shall give him office, honour, might; Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, For, look, he smiles, and Caesar doth not change. Hath put us in these ill-beseeming arms; I will acquaintance strangle and look strange, So shall you share all that he doth possess, Such dreadful heralds to astonish us. MMCXXXVI - "PRINGFORSUCHAT" Perform'd in this wide gap of time since first Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Is Clarence dead? the order was reversed. Not he which says the dead is not alive. Gives not the hawthorn-bush a sweeter shade For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made: Reigns in my blood and will remember'd be. Stands not within the prospect of belief, Until her husband and my lord's return: Come, come, in wooing sorrow let's be brief, His going I could frame to serve my turn, And therefore yet relent, and save my life. That he is too familiar with his wife. MMCXXXVII - "IMEDOINOWFORTI" I'll watch Titania when she is asleep, May reasonably die and never rise Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Do thou but call my resolution wise, Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars If I could add a lie unto a fault, No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. Was broke in twain; by whom I have forgot, France friend with England, what becomes of me? Or mine eyes seeing this, say this is not, Reigns in my blood and will remember'd be. To see their youthful sons bright weapons wield; I stay but for my guidon: to the field! MMCXXXVIII - "FYAGAINSTCONFO" Farewell; be trusty, and I'll quit thy pains: Your daughter and her cousin much commend And every one shall share i' the gains; Give not this rotten orange to your friend; Ay, now my sovereign speaketh like himself; I thank you for this profit; and from hence No, misery makes sport to mock itself: Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence; They swell, and grow as terrible as storms. Command thy son and daughter to join hands. Or blot with hell-born sin such saint-like forms. Never to part with it; and here he stands; For ever will I walk upon my knees, O monstrous! what reproachful words are these? MMCXXXIX - "UNDINGAGESCRUE" Uncertain way of gain! But I am in Nay, but be wise: yet we see nothing done; Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within, Is my name Talbot? and am I your son? No harm, good man;' puts him off, slights him, with Great men may jest with saints; 'tis wit in them, And, after that wise prince, Henry the Fifth, Go therefore, tell thy master here I am; Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, So shall we stay, mocking intended game, Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays, Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MMCXL - "LKNIFETHATHESH" Lordings, farewell; and say, when I am gone, King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, I have a servant comes with me along, For we intend so to dispose you as Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, And let him say to England that we send The care I had and have of subjects' good He doth unfasten so and shake a friend. Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Since, seldom coming, in the long year set, He's not confirm'd; we may deny him yet. MMCXLI - "ALLNEVERCUTFRO" As offer'd mercy is. What was the last Late did he shine upon the English side; Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Ne'er through an arch so hurried the blown tide, Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Excepting one, I would he were the best Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, Candied with ice, caudle thy morning taste, Unseemly woman in a seeming man! The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste. Fortunes: his grace hath made the match, and an Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. One knight loves both, and both in thee remain. MMCXLII - "MMEMORYMYSWEET" My face is full of shame, my heart of teen: Must I do so? and must I ravel out Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Much castigation, exercise devout; Out of my lean and low ability Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Your bounty, virtue, fair humility: My house was at the Phoenix? Wast thou mad, You here at Milford-Haven with your ships: Save where thou art not, though I feel thou art, When she is gone. Then open not thy lips. Each one demand an answer to his part Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Tim Richard wear the garland of the realm. MMCXLIII - "LOVESBEAUTYTHO" Let me give light, but let me not be light; Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Straight let us seek, or straight we shall be sought; But in this extant moment, faith and troth, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought And should he doubt it, as no doubt he doth, Unquestion'd welcome and undoubted blest. To curb the will of the nobility: Yea, Richard, when I know; for I protest The napless vesture of humility; Have sent to thee, to receive the meed of O, they love least that let men know their love. MMCXLIV - "UGHMYLOVERSLIF" Unless she do it under this excuse, Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. Here is your servant. How now, sir! What news? My favour were as great; be witness this. Yet, if you please to hold him off awhile, Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, O, now you look like Hubert! all this while Values itself so highly that to her Early and late, debating to and fro Retain but privilege of a private man? Swear me to this, and I will ne'er say no. Lucy, farewell; no more my fortune can, I thought it was a fault, but knew it not; For parting us,--O, is it all forgot? MMCXLV - "EHISBEAUTYSHAL" Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Hath told the thievish minutes how they pass, Is hush'd within the hollow mine of earth, She's dead as earth. Lend me a looking glass. But be thou arm'd for some unhappy words. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. And of their feather many more proud birds, Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Then know that I, one Snug the joiner, am You shall not go: one cannot speak a word, Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, As venom toads, or lizards' dreadful stings. Live, and beget a happy race of kings! MMCXLVI - "LINTHESEBLACKL" Lords, I am hot with haste in seeking you: Is there scarce ask'd for who; and good men's lives Not Shafalus to Procrus was so true. To the ambassadors of England gives Here one man's hand lean'd on another's head, England shall give him office, honour, might; Such fear so grew in me, I hither fled, Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; But, saying thus, instead of oil and balm, Like to a tenement or pelting farm: Are much condemn'd to have an itching palm; Cannot a plain man live and think no harm, King, father, royal Dane. O, answer me? Look, here's thy love: my foot and her face see. MMCXLVII - "INESBESEENANDT" I prophesied France will be lost ere long. Nay, forward, old man; do not break off so; Else had she with her father rang'd along. Such short-lived wits do wither as they grow. By so much fills their hearts with deadly hate. Exampled by the first pace that is sick So was I bid report here to the state Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: New lighted on a heaven-kissing hill: A gentler judgment vanish'd from his lips, Not changing heart with habit, I am still Did keep ten thousand men? was this the face To whom in all this presence speaks your grace? MMCXLVIII - "HEYSHALLLIVEAN" He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Yet so he ruled and such a prince he was So, now I have confess'd that he is thine, His letters bear his mind, not I, my lord. And, in conclusion, to oppose the bolt Love give me strength! and strength shall help afford. Lack blood to think on't, and flush youth revolt: Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, It is a bawdy planet, that will strike Values itself so highly that to her Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, And prompt me, that my tongue may utter forth No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. MMCXLIX - "DHEINTHEMSTILL" Do not go forth to-day: call it my fear Hath rung night's yawning peal, there shall be done Ely with Richmond troubles me more near I take my leave before I have begun, Ne'er seen but wonder'd at: and so my state, The sacred honour of himself, his queen's, He sent command to the lord mayor straight Envied against the people, seeking means Mine ear, I thank it, brought me to thy sound Sprinkle cool patience! Whereon do you look? To your own bents dispose you: you'll be found, If I had play'd the desk or table book, Let Paris bleed; 'tis but a scar to scorn; Lest she should steal a kiss and die forsworn. MMCL - "GREENWHENIHAVE" Good gentlemen, let me have leave to speak: Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, Who like a good and hardy soldier fought Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Northumberland, say thus the king returns: I hear the King my father is sore sick. He's walking in the garden--thus; and spurns And made an evening at the noontide prick. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMCLI - "SEENBYTIMESFEL" She did disdain my child, and stood between Each present lord began to promise aid, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, Before proud Athens he's set down by this, Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. Then, gentle cheater, urge not my amiss, If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, Met I my father with his bleeding rings, Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Forty days longer we do respite you; Ere three days pass, which hath as long lov'd me Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee! MMCLII - "LHANDDEFACEDTH" Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, He's both their parent, and he is their grave, And all the peers and nobles of the realm Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, Did prophesy that Richmond should be king, Day, yield me not thy light; nor, night, thy rest! Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring For this they have been thoughtful to invest As did that one; and that, in my regard, Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn! Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Did seem defensible. So you left him. That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief: He robs himself that spends a bootless grief. MMCLIII - "ERICHPROUDCOST" Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. I must go in. Ay me, how weak a thing Cursed be that heart that forced us to this shift! He is gone happy, and has left me rich: Pursued him still: and, three nights after this, Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Under the colour of commending him, Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn! One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Shall we call back Northumberland, and send The time invites you. Go, your servants tend. MMCLIV - "OFOUTWORNBURIE" Of all mad matches, never was the like. Famous in Caesar's praises, no whit less Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Unless by robbing of your friends and us. There is a lady in Verona here What, is my Richard both in shape and mind O, no, he loves me, and he holds me dear: Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, But from this lady may proceed a gem Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them I must be patient till the heavens look Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMCLV - "DAGEWHENSOMETI" Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; And cut your trusters' throats! bound servants, steal! Gazing upon the Greeks with little lust: Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Who in contempt shall hiss at thee again: He was a gentleman on whom I built Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt; So soon was she along as he was down, Or who should study to prefer a peace. My father made in compassing the crown! Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. The sheep are gone to fold, birds to their nest, I will continue that I broach'd in jest. MMCLVI - "MELOFTYTOWERSI" My liege! my lord! but now a king, now thus. Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! Out of my way, unless he bid 'em; but Flower as she was, deflowered by him. Take't up, I say; give't to thy crone. Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, Take in your love, and then let me alone. O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth! Who, then, dares to be half so kind again? Even so void is your false heart of truth. Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Some means to come to shrift this afternoon; If she unmask her beauty to the moon. MMCLVII - "SEEDOWNRAZEDAN" Shall worms, inheritors of this excess, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. Or, if you show your face, you must not speak. What judgment shall I dread, doing no wrong? Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, And warrant limited unto my tongue. Zounds! how has he the leisure to be sick Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. MMCLVIII - "DBRASSETERNALS" Depose him in the justice of his cause. By flatterers; and what they will inform, Remuneration for the thing it was; Acquitted by a true substantial form, Sweet lords, entreat her hear me but a word. Strike all that look upon with marvel. Come, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Then, if I have much love, I'll give you some. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Nature dispenses with the deed so far Ah, now thou turn'st away thy face for shame! Look on her, mark her well; be but about So soon as you arrive, shall clear that doubt. MMCLIX - "LAVETOMORTALRA" Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet. And for that purpose I'll anoint my sword. Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; That set'st the word itself against the word! Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild; Mann'd with three hundred men, as I have heard; O, had it been a stranger, not my child, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. And, from the place where you behold us now, Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Rather than make unprofited return. A cloak as long as thine will serve the turn? MMCLX - "GEWHENIHAVESEE" Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Who hath not seen them, even with those wings Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Each opposite that blanks the face of joy No danger in what show of death it makes, I do remember in this shepherd boy Had you not been their father, these white flakes And wish'd in silence that it were not his. Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Sir, I did never win of you before. Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MMCLXI - "NTHEHUNGRYOCEA" Not like a guest; so you shall pay your fees They shouted thrice: what was the last cry for? Henry now lives in Scotland at his ease, Each changing place with that which goes before, How easily murder is discovered! Unless the Dauphin be in presence here, Nor grieve that Rouen is so recovered: Give me, give me! O, tell not me of fear! Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! You say you do not know the lady's mind: Of that proud man that did usurp his back? Commit to these waste blanks, and thou shalt find Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. And give it way: I know thou canst not choose. MMCLXII - "NGAINADVANTAGE" Now bind my brows with iron; and approach Girding with grievous siege castles and towns; And see their blood, or die with this reproach. If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, Now, as I live, I will. My nobler friends, And interchangeably set down their hands, Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; And now, to soothe your forgery and his, Near or far off, well won is still well shot, Thou art right welcome as thy master is. Ascribes the glory of his conquest got Gone to be married! gone to swear a peace! Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MMCLXIII - "ONTHEKINGDOMOF" Of Timon man and all humanity! Never was monarch better fear'd and loved To stay him from the fall of vanity: How happily he lives, how well beloved Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Keep then far league and truce with thy true bed; I do embrace thee, as I would embrace Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead Get thee to bed, and rest; for thou hast need. Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. Out of the path which shall directly lead My lord, she's not paced yet: you must take some O Cleopatra! thou art taken, queen: For shame, you generals! what do you mean? MMCLXIV - "THESHOREANDTHE" To this good purpose, that so fairly shows, How use doth breed a habit in a man! Except it be to pray against thy foes. Some certain of your brethren roar'd and ran He wears his honour in a box unseen, Of thy intents desires instruction, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Even for revenge mock my destruction! And interchanging blows I quickly shed Not till it leave the rider in the mire. Dear husband, in the interest of thy bed That to his borrow'd bed he make retire, Had he done so, himself had borne the crown, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. MMCLXV - "FIRMSOILWINOFT" For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, I come by note, to give and to receive. Rancour will out: proud prelate, in thy face May't please your majesty to give us leave Should many people, under two commands, O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth! If not, the end of life cancels all bands; Lest I surcease to honour mine own truth Was brow-bound with the oak. His pupil age I sue for exiled majesty's repeal; Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Out of a fortitude of soul I feel, For Henry weeps that thou dost live so long. That my steel'd sense or changes right or wrong. MMCLXVI - "HEWATERYMAININ" Hath set the women on to this complaint: Every man shift for all the rest, and Which 'tis not fit you know, I not acquaint Agree between you; I will spare my hand. Than when you left him; even now he sung. Else with the like I had requited him. Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, My father, in kind heart and pity moved, And six or seven winters more respect If this be error and upon me proved, Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect. I do arrest you, sir: you hear the suit. Norfolk, throw down, we bid; there is no boot. MMCLXVII - "CREASINGSTOREW" CORIOLANUS! Rome could afford no tribune like to these. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less And never see day that the happy sees, Shall the contents discover, something rare I know her spirits are as coy and wild Not so, my lord; it is not so, I swear; Good Master Fenton, come not to my child. So to the laws at large I write my name: Thou dost thy office fairly. Turn thee back. Of your dear mother England, blush for shame; Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Either to die the death or to abjure Withal than a cat. You know him not, sir. MMCLXVIII - "ITHLOSSANDLOSS" I did, my lord, but loath am to produce That in the dole of blows your son might drop. Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. Let's take the instant by the forward top; O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Shall rust upon my weapon, till thy blood, So York must sit and fret and bite his tongue, As may be in the world: his youth in flood, Now, now: I have not winked since I saw these Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Let me in safety raise me from my knees On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Should not be able to encounter mine. Sweet ornament that decks a thing divine! MMCLXIX - "WITHSTOREWHENI" Whole as the marble, founded as the rock, I have been troubled in my sleep this night, The viol once more: how thou stirr'st, thou block! How can I then return in happy plight, Submits her to thy might; and of thee craves The more that Henry was unfortunate. Of what is in her chamber nothing saves Resolve on this, thou shalt be fortunate, Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Whose crooked beak threats if he mount he dies: How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Nor be not grieved- she is of good esteem, In the remembrance of so fair a dream. MMCLXX - "HAVESEENSUCHIN" Hath proudly flow'd in vanity till now. And we will fear no poison, which attends Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar Each jealous of the other, as the stung Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Nor to the motion of a schoolboy's tongue, Some messenger betwixt me and the peers; Under a cloak that is of any length. Can make seem pleasing to her tender years? Have robb'd my strong-knit sinews of their strength, I will attend my husband, be his nurse, No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. MMCLXXI - "TERCHANGEOFSTA" The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge Envy your great deservings and good name, Rome and the righteous heavens be my judge, Come you, my lord, to see my open shame? Her grievance with his hearing to divide: And 'twixt the green sea and the azured vault Now much beshrew my manners and my pride, Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault, Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought O monstrous! what reproachful words are these? Found that the issue was not his begot; Sorrow would solace and mine age would ease. That grief and patience, rooted in him both, A million fail, confounding oath on oath. MMCLXXII - "TEORSTATEITSEL" That they pass by me as the idle wind, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Show me, my women, like a queen: go fetch To his own use he keeps; and sends me word, And you shall have your bosom on this wretch, The third possessor; ay, he was the third-- Either they must be dieted like mules It he is to sojourn with you? How creeps Then the liars and swearers are fools, See how my wretched sister sobs and weeps. Entreated me to call and know her mind: Lean, rent and beggar'd by the strumpet wind! MMCLXXIII - "FCONFOUNDEDTOD" For friends kill friends, and the disorder's such Come, fellow, follow us for thy reward. O, but I love his lady too too much, No, this thrice worthy and right valiant lord Far off methinks I hear the beaten drum. O limed soul, that, struggling to be free, Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Ne'er see thou man, and let me ne'er see thee. Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. Ere further leisure yield them further means Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, The sacred honour of himself, his queen's, Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Dumain transform'd! four woodcocks in a dish! MMCLXXIV - "ECAYRUINHATHTA" Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Conscience is but a word that cowards use, And for amends to his posterity, You do it for increase: O strange excuse, Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? Unless you can find sport in their intents, Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, No, I protest, I know not the contents; His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights, And told me Hubert should put out mine eyes, That is, to watch her, as we watch these kites How rarely does it meet with this time's guise, Than die ere I hear more: strive, man, and speak. Although the kite soar with unbloodied beak? MMCLXXV - "UGHTMETHUSTORU" Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof: He would embrace the means to come by it. Till that Bellona's bridegroom, lapp'd in proof, May that ground gape and swallow me alive, Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Tell on thy mind; I say thy child shall live. He is a sick man that would speak with you. Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. Such comfort as do lusty young men feel Though I am not bookish, yet I can read O, now doth Death line his dead chaps with steel; Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. MMCLXXVI - "MINATETHATTIME" My house was at the Phoenix? Wast thou mad, I do beseech your lordship, call her back. Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad Ay, but I fear you speak upon the rack, Then wish me better; I will give you leave. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Though others have the arm, show us the sleeve; How came the noble Timon to this change? And kiss your princely nephew, brothers both. The bloody proclamation to escape Then, good my lords, bear witness to his oath. I do pronounce him in that very shape My sword, I say! Old Montague is come, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MMCLXXVII - "WILLCOMEANDTAK" What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Is the next way to draw new mischief on. Let me not to the marriage of true minds Leaving thy trunk for crows to feed upon. Cold statues of the youth, and, in a word, Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Mann'd with three hundred men, as I have heard; Either thou art most ignorant by age, And leave you to attend him. Some dear cause Nor Cymbeline dreams that they are alive. Discover more at large what cause that was, That brings me food to make misfortune live? And even now my burthen'd heart would break, Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. MMCLXXVIII - "EMYLOVEAWAYTHI" Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. May be the lady: thou shalt know the man You may as well go stand upon the beach Lucy, farewell; no more my fortune can, On her dead mistress; tremblingly she stood Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, And hast thou kill'd him sleeping? O brave touch! Why then, a ladder quaintly made of cords, Arm, arm, my name! a puny subject strikes Yet must we join with him and with the lords, That noble minds keep ever with their likes; Her father and her country and her friends, I'll kiss each several paper for amends. MMCLXXIX - "STHOUGHTISASAD" Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? That by degrees we mean to look into Her pretty action did outsell her gift, Or what is now received: I witness to Under the colour of commending him, Go bear it to the Centaur, where we host, Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats; Such is the fulness of my heart's content. And won her soul; and she, sweet lady, dotes, Sister, content you in my discontent. Ah, simple men, you know not what you swear! Devis'd a new commission; wrote it fair. MMCLXXX - "EATHWHICHCANNO" Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, And thou shalt prove a shelter to thy friends, Tread on the sand; why, there you quickly sink: Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Which, as thou know'st, unjustly must be spilt. Her lively colour kill'd with deadly cares. Iron of Naples hid with English gilt, Carries noise, and behind him he leaves tears: Have suffer'd wrong, go keep us company, Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: And shall, or him we will accompany. Now, youthful Troilus, do not these high strains Now fear I this will give it start again; Off with my boots, you rogues! you villains, when? MMCLXXXI - "TCHOOSEBUTWEEP" Twice to your visor, and half once to you. Catching all passions in his craft of will: Helen, I love thee; by my life, I do: Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still, Of all his people and freeze up their zeal, Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, But that I did proceed upon just grounds Upon his bad life to make all this good, This hand was made to handle naught but gold. With this, she falleth in the place she stood, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Prescribe to other as each other's leech. MMCLXXXII - "TOHAVETHATWHIC" There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed O young and noble Cato, art thou down? He ten times pines that pines beholding food; According to the statute of the town, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Either of king or council, when you went Thy private feasting to a public fast, Has caught me in his eye: I will present And tell me, then, have you not broke your oaths? The duke yet lives that Henry shall depose; Who is thy grandfather: he made those clothes, Had the full view of, such a noise arose If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search. Come, is the bride ready to go to church? MMCLXXXIII - "HITFEARSTOLOSE" Have I pluck'd off, to grace thy brows withal: I'ld give thee leave to hang it. Get thee gone. That I, one Snout by name, present a wall; For on his visage was in little drawn Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. As, though on thinking on no thought I think, Raise up the Montagues: some others search: Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! That those which fly before the battle ends O indistinguish'd space of woman's will! Like one I loved indeed. What were thy friends? O, in this love, you love your child so ill, So far be distant; and, good night, sweet friend: Either of you to be the other's end. MMCLXXXIV - "SINCEBRASSNORS" So is my love still telling what is told. In me at once: but to the brightest beams Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, Conceives by idleness and nothing teems Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time But get thee back; my soul is too much charged Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Ay, ay, farewell; thy office is discharged. Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin; Sweat in this business and maintain this war? Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, One more, most welcome, makes my number more. Remember whom you are to cope withal; Say how he died, for I will hear it all. MMCLXXXV - "TONENOREARTHNO" This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange Of all be hated, but the most of me! No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: Ensuing dangers; as by proof, we see No, my good lord; I met him back again. Of thy intents desires instruction, Raze out the written troubles of the brain Even for revenge mock my destruction! And like a lowly lover down she kneels; Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Treasons, makes me betake me to my heels. Her body's stain her mind untainted clears; Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part O, ominous! he comes to kill my heart. MMCLXXXVI - "RBOUNDLESSSEAB" Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Be not thyself; for how art thou a king On me, that halt and am unshapen thus? Unless thou tell'st me where thou hadst this ring, No sleep close up that deadly eye of thine, Do I put up that womanly defence, Lord Titus, by your leave, this maid is mine. Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Should prove the mother of fools. I have brought Swoons rather; for so bad a prayer as his Speechless complainer, I will learn thy thought; Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: And thereupon thou speak'st the fairest shoot. Before the king will grant her humble suit. MMCLXXXVII - "UTSADMORTALITY" Under the lordly monarch of the north, Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Stew'd in his haste, half breathless, panting forth Alas, the sea hath cast me on the rocks, Death, death; O amiable lovely death! Mark how the blood of Caesar follow'd it, Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. Repair hither and say you are not fit. Take but degree away, untune that string, Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Let me for this my life-time reign as king. In peace and honour rest you here, my sons; Thy letters have transported me beyond Yes Shylock, I will seal unto this bond. MMCLXXXVIII - "OERSWAYSTHEIRP" One way or other, she is for a king; Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Seeing those beads of sorrow stand in thine, When creeping murmur and the poring dark Accords not with the sadness of my suit: You sent me to the bay, sir, for a bark. Speak, fair; but speak fair words, or else be mute: To make some special instant special blest, He throws upon the gross world's baser slaves: Excepting one, I would he were the best Into the madness wherein now he raves, Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow Pray God the plants thou graft'st may never grow. MMCLXXXIX - "OWERHOWWITHTHI" Of this their purpose hither to this wood; Wanton in fulness, seek to hide themselves Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Having no more but thought of what thou wert, Our archers shall be placed in the midst Within the knowledge of mine own desert, With as big heart as thou. Do as thou list If you deny me, fie upon your law! The treasury of everlasting joy. How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, This Trojan scorns us; or the men of Troy He hath refused it in the open court: If Warwick be so near as men report. MMCXC - "SRAGESHALLBEAU" Shall braying trumpets and loud churlish drums, Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: And, in good time, here the lieutenant comes. Good morrow, gallants! want ye corn for bread? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Shall I descend? and will you give me leave? Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; And well am like to do; for, I perceive, Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace. Like a right gipsy, hath, at fast and loose, But where's the body that I should embrace? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. And so did I:--Well, we were born to die. Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie. MMCXCI - "TYHOLDAPLEAWHO" That rage in savage sensuality. Your nobles will not hear you, but are gone Here on my knee I beg mortality, Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, Did I redeem; a wreck past hope he was: And I again, in Henry's royal name, Patience is scottish, and impatience does Loaden with irons wiser than the judge, Exposing what is mortal and unsure And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? Were jocund, and supposed their state was sure, Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. MMCXCII - "SEACTIONISNOST" Shall better speak of you than you deserve. Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, A subtle knave! but yet it shall not serve. Content yourself. God knows I loved my niece; To give each naked curtle-axe a stain, If he arise, be mock'd and wonder'd at. O, let me teach you how to knit again Now was she just before him as he sat, I play the noble housewife with the time Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme O Caesar! these things are beyond all use, Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, To give their bed joy and prosperity. MMCXCIII - "RONGERTHANAFLO" Rancour will out: proud prelate, in thy face Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort, Never came poison from so sweet a place. Go with me; if you like upon report Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; Thee have I not lock'd up in any chest, He meant he did me none; the more my spite. And therefore level not to hit their lives. Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, As mine own face. If there be cords, or knives, Fortune, good night; smile once more, turn thy wheel. Let me entreat, for I command no more, Of Buckingham to welcome them ashore. MMCXCIV - "WEROHOWSHALLSU" Will rain hot vengeance on offenders' heads. Each present lord began to promise aid, Roused on the sudden from their drowsy beds, O my good lord, when I was like this maid, Have, for the gilt of France,--O guilt indeed! Of thy dear husband, than that horrid act What wrong, what shame, what sorrow I shall breed; Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, And you, Prince Dauphin, with all swift dispatch, Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Let us be jocund: will you troll the catch She, desperate, with her nails her flesh doth tear; Unclaim'd of any man. But who comes here? MMCXCV - "MMERSHONEYBREA" My Oberon! what visions have I seen! My discontented peers! What! mother dead! Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. Stopping my greedy ear with their bold deeds; How might a prince of my great hopes forget One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; No, thou stand'st single, thou'rt not on him yet. Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Your eyes do make no coaches; in your tears Be now as prodigal of all dear grace Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste And of this book this learning mayst thou taste. MMCXCVI - "THHOLDOUTAGAIN" To the ambassadors of England gives How much more elder art thou than thy looks! Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, Lewis, determine what we shall do straight. Does not divide the Sunday from the week. O God! that one might read the book of fate, Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. That we must curb it upon others' proof; And pray God's blessing into thy attempt: Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof: And tread it under foot with all contempt, I claim her not, and therefore she is thine. None, but your beauty: would that fault were mine! MMCXCVII - "STTHEWRECKFULS" Stoop'd his anointed head as low as death. The clothiers all, not able to maintain The sovereignty will fall upon Macbeth. He had a fever when he was in Spain, Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! What, hast thou been long blind and now restored? Richly in both, if justice had her right. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Come from the north; and as I came along Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? For Henry weeps that thou dost live so long. Uncle, I needs must pray that thou mayst lose; Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Still live they and for ever may they last! MMCXCVIII - "IEGEOFBATTERIN" Is now most still, most secret, and most grave, Each man apart, all single and alone, Go, get thee gone, thou false deluding slave, Enough to purchase what you have made known. Of that report which I so oft have heard. For God doth know how many now in health By his blunt bearing he will keep his word, A merchant of incomparable wealth. The day, my friends and all things stay for me. That had a heart to love, and in that heart Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; Is all the policy, strength and defence, Nor send him forth that we may bear him hence. MMCXCIX - "GDAYSWHENROCKS" Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. Deep, hollow, treacherous, and full of guile, As shall to thee blot out what wrongs were theirs You have but jested with me all this while. Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive and cog, Would I could meet that rogue Diomed! I would Having first seized his books, or with a log Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: No, not a word; how can I grace my talk, Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Clifford, ask mercy and obtain no grace. Kill me to-morrow: let me live to-night! So now, fair prince of Troy, I bid good night. MMCC - "IMPREGNABLEARE" I have no more to reckon, he to spend. Make war against proportion'd course of time; Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end: Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Gave hope thou wast in being, have preserved No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings And let the angel whom thou still hast served Be now as prodigal of all dear grace Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; And let thy misty vapours march so thick, Remains in danger of her former tooth. Even so void is your false heart of truth. MMCCI - "NOTSOSTOUTNORG" Needs must I like it well: I weep for joy O poor Orlando, thou art overthrown! This is not well, rash and unbridled boy. Some men must love my lady and some Joan. Of our restored love and amity. Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, To bear the tidings of calamity. O, he sits high in all the people's hearts: Upon the instant that she was accused, Though they be long ere they are wooed, they are Nothing more dear to me. You are abused Of the duke's confessor, John de la Car, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. God knows I will not do it, to the death. MMCCII - "ATESOFSTEELSOS" Away, away, good William de la Pole! Till we have done at sea. Do not exceed Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Study me how to please the eye indeed O God, I fear thy justice will take hold From any private malice in his end, So is my love still telling what is told. To be set high in place, we did commend Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Expecting in return twenty for one? Look he's winding up the watch of his wit; So that, as clear as is the summer's sun. On Tuesday noon, or night; on Wednesday morn: Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. MMCCIII - "TRONGBUTTIMEDE" Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back, Ready to starve and dare not touch his own: Or lay on that shall make your shoulders crack. No matter, sir, what I have heard or known. Great king, within this coffin I present Believe me, you are marvellously changed. Under the blow of thralled discontent, That some night-tripping fairy had exchanged To be so tickled, they would change their state In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn, Must have their voices; neither will they bate End in one purpose, and be all well borne Devesting them for bed; and then, but now-- Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MMCCIV - "CAYSOFEARFULME" Can any face of brass hold longer out? And dress'd myself in such humility You heavy people, circle me about, Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, One that rejoices in the common wreck, For virtue's office never breaks men's troth. Each in his office ready at thy beck. Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; For, till I see them here, by doubtful fear Until their greater pleasures first be known Law cannot give my child his kingdom here, Myself have often heard him say and swear Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MMCCV - "DITATIONWHEREA" Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? I will not rise, unless your highness grant. Than settled age his sables and his weeds, Amongst a grove, the very straightest plant; To see her noble lord restor'd to health, If we be conquer'd, let men conquer us, Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Who lead thee in their riot even there Her and her fortunes: none would look on her, Either be patient, and entreat me fair, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. A queen in jest, only to fill the scene. MMCCVI - "LACKSHALLTIMES" Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! And so should you, to love things nothing worth. Come, leave your tears: a brief farewell: the beast Knights of the garter were of noble birth, Shall better speak of you than you deserve. Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. And let his very breath, whom thou'lt observe, Led hither by pure love: which of them both Lives in the English court, and is received The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste. If something thou wilt swear to be believed, Must have inventions to delight the taste, England we love; and for that England's sake Save thieves, and cares, and troubled minds, that wake. MMCCVII - "BESTJEWELFROMT" Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring; Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Shall one day make the Duke of York a king. That you affect; and so must you resolve, John, to stop Arthur's title in the whole, Environ you, till mischief and despair When yond same star that's westward from the pole Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. From whence with life he never more sprung up. Record it with your high and worthy deeds: O, let those cities that of plenty's cup My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. To push grief on, and back the same grief draw. MMCCVIII - "IMESCHESTLIEHI" It were not for your quiet nor your good, Makes flexible the knees of knotted oaks, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Speak, Winchester; for boiling choler chokes Create her child of spleen, that it may live He'ld make an end of thy posterity. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, Then, Pistol, lay thy head in Furies' lap. Let it fall rather, though the fork invade If they hold when their ladies bid 'em clap. Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, He, nor that affable familiar ghost I'll show you here at large. Hark, good mine host. MMCCIX - "DORWHATSTRONGH" Do not deny. Beshrew his soul for me, O Brakenbury, I have done those things, Return again, and take an oath with thee. Who stood equivalent with mighty kings: Himself! no, he's not himself: would a' were And I to thee engaged a prince's word, To send in to your wife: my suit to her Sorry I am to hear what I have heard: To build at all? Much more, in this great work-- Remuneration for the thing it was; Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Never afflict yourself to know the cause; Go, take it up unto thy master's use. Here is your servant. How now, sir! What news? MMCCX - "ANDCANHOLDHISS" Art thou a woman's son, and canst not feel No settled senses of the world can match Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Could trammel up the consequence, and catch As, sick and blunted with community, Nay more, while grace is saying, hood mine eyes How comes it then, vile Opportunity, O, vile! then, as she goes, what upward lies Let kings assemble; for my grief's so great Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed He sent command to the lord mayor straight I must have patience to endure the load: See how I am bewitch'd; behold mine arm She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. MMCCXI - "WIFTFOOTBACKOR" Will I with wine and wassail so convince Is't with you? What, man! defy the devil: First, of my word; therefore play, music. Prince, This harness'd masque and unadvised revel, For he that steeps his safety in true blood On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? Thou tremblest at, answer that I shall ask; But as this title honours me and mine, And let my counsel sway you in this case. Counting no old thing old, thou mine, I thine, Keep still possession of thy gloomy place, One god is god of both, as poets feign; Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. MMCCXII - "WHOHISSPOILOFB" What think you? may we, with the warrant of How have you made division of yourself? O sweet Maria, empress of my love! How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself I never heard a passion so confused, So many years ere I shall shear the fleece: Should of another therefore be abused! Peace, impudent and shameless Warwick, peace, O my dear father, restoration hang In equal scale weighing delight and dole, Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets' clang? O, then began the tempest to my soul, For princes are the glass, the school, the book, Believe me, king of shadows, I mistook. MMCCXIII - "EAUTYCANFORBID" Each Trojan that is master of his heart, A jewel, lock'd into the wofull'st cask Upon a just survey, take Titus' part, The better that your lordship please to ask. You lack the season of all natures, sleep. Convenient is it. Make a swift return; And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep, Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn Furnish you fairly for this interchange: Old Gaunt indeed, and gaunt in being old: Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, But not till I am dead. I'll say thou'st gold: I long that we were safe and sound aboard. Doth not the object cheer your heart, my lord? MMCCXIV - "ONONEUNLESSTHI" Of sighs, of groans, of sorrow and of teen! Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch: Or else he never would compare between. No settled senses of the world can match Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Upon the slime and ooze scatters his grain, Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast? Love keeps his revels where they are but twain; Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Stay yet. You vile abominable tents, Sunshine and rain at once: her smiles and tears This said, in top of rage the lines she rents, Hath wisdom's warrant and the help of school In mangled forms. O that I were a fool! MMCCXV - "SMIRACLEHAVEMI" Some say thy grace is youth and gentle sport; Make mouths upon me when I turn my back; If it be true, all vengeance comes too short Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! And flourish'd after, I'ld not do't; but since Contend against thy valour. Know thou first, Let it be so: and you, my noble prince, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Hot was the day; she hotter that did look And, seeking death, find life: let it come on. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon My head with more ill news, for it is full. I think he thinks upon the savage bull. MMCCXVI - "GHTTHATINBLACK" Garments, how you disgraced her, when you should Hath given me some worthy cause to wish That basely fled when noble Talbot stood. To put good meat into an unclean dish. Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's And when you are desirous to be blest, To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends, In his bedchamber to be barr'd of rest. Not painted with the crimson spots of blood. Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull, Leap in with me into this angry flood, And Westmoreland. This is the news at full. Can Oxford, that did ever fence the right, Kill me to-morrow: let me live to-night! MMCCXVII - "INKMYLOVEMAYST" I know what thorns the growing rose defends; Nay, let it rest where it began at first. Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, My dearest lord, bless'd, to be most accursed, Yet, since love's argument was first on foot, Lay with you in your coffer: which are now Of all the world I loved and to him put Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how England shall double gild his treble guilt; My twelve months are expired, and Tyrus stands And give to dust that is a little gilt You put sharp weapons in a madman's hands. Sleeping neglection doth betray to loss To him that bears the strong offence's cross. MMCCXVIII - "ILLSHINEBRIGHT" I thank him, that he cuts me from my tale, Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: Left there round turrets destitute and pale. Some good man bear him carefully from hence; He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge If thou engrossest all the griefs are thine, Nature in you stands on the very verge Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Bury with those that wore them, these base slaves, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Into the madness wherein now he raves, Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word Himself! no, he's not himself: would a' were Than you, unless you were a scholar, sir. MMCCXIX - "TIREDWITHALLTH" Thought characters and words merely but art, If half thy outward graces had been placed Rome's royal mistress, mistress of my heart, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts With full as many signs of deadly hate, I will both hear and grant you your requests. Than is his father's, must embrace the fate Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, And that is false thou dost report to us. Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Thus might he pass indeed. Yet he revives. Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. MMCCXX - "ESEFORRESTFULD" England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Stand by, my masters: bring him near the king; Extorted treasure in the womb of earth Fair creature, kill'd too soon by death's sharp sting! One step I have advanc'd thee. If thou dost Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost, Empties itself, as doth an inland brook So far from variation or quick change? To be her mistress' mistress! the queen's queen! For such an end thou seek'st,--as base as strange. Under your good correction, I have seen, Let him alone, for I remember now Do it, and happy; by my silver bow! MMCCXXI - "EATHICRYASTOBE" Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. And, that thou mayst perceive my fear of this, That ever enter'd in a drowsy head, He means, my lord, that we are too remiss; Inconstancy falls off ere it begins. CORIOLANUS, Receive the sentence of the law for sins Yea, strike the Dauphin blind to look on us. A salve for any sore that may betide. Speak but one rhyme, and I am satisfied; Then further, all dissembling set aside, O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? By staying there so long till all were lost. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMCCXXII - "HOLDDESERTABEG" Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, Lest that thy wives with spits and boys with stones Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands Degrees, observances, customs, and laws, Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, And so success of mischief shall be born, But, O malignant and ill-boding stars! Expecting in return twenty for one? God keep me from false friends! but they were none. MMCCXXIII - "GARBORNANDNEED" God knows I had as lief be none as one. And, ere I part with thee, confer at large Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. But from Lord Angelo by special charge. Obeying in commanding, and thy parts Receive the sentence of the law for sins Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, And when the rage allays, the rain begins. No settled senses of the world can match Did this companion with the saffron face No doubt but he hath got a quiet catch. Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. MMCCXXIV - "YNOTHINGTRIMMD" Your honours shall perceive how I will work No, Warwick, no; while life upholds this arm, Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk To house or housekeeping. Then at my farm His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France. It would amaze the proudest of you all. Nay, then 'tis time to stir him from his trance. Go home with it and please your wife withal; That noble honour'd lord, is fear'd and loved? Romeo, that she were, O, that she were I'll set a bourn how far to be beloved. Murder her brothers, and then marry her! More than his singularity, he goes Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. MMCCXXV - "INJOLLITYANDPU" I grant thou wert not married to my Muse No point, quoth I; my servant straight was mute. Julia I lose and Valentine I lose: Oft have I heard his praises in pursuit, Lo, citizens, he says he is content: Lord, Lord! methought, what pain it was to drown! It shall not wind with such a deep indent, Then I, and you, and all of us fell down, Yes, and will nobly him remunerate. And purest faith unhappily forsworn, Nay, stay, Sir John, awhile, and we'll debate Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Point-devise companions; such rackers of Upon the very naked name of love. MMCCXXVI - "RESTFAITHUNHAP" Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Something to do with you. Come, you're a young To vice you to't, that you have touch'd his queen Farewell, Ophelia, and remember well And yet dear too, because I bought mine own. I guess one angel in another's hell: That's able to breathe life into a stone, Higher, or return again into France? Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails Nay, then 'tis time to stir him from his trance. Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, And when 'tis told, O that my heart would burst! Past and to come seems best; things present, worst. MMCCXXVII - "PILYFORSWORNAN" Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; It shall do well. But yet do I believe Lavinia, come. Marcus, look to my house: You guard like men; 'tis well: but, by your leave, Farewell: the leisure and the fearful time O horror, horror, horror! Tongue nor heart Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Sweet hearts, we shall be rich ere we depart, When, for his hand, he had his two sons' heads; On late offenders, that he now doth lack Rescue those breathing lives to die in beds, No face is fair that is not full so black. All which we pine for now: and this report Not having that, which, having, makes them short. MMCCXXVIII - "DGUILDEDHONOUR" Do you not see that I am out of breath? Go, go, be gone, to save your ship from wreck, Under the moon, can save the thing from death I took a costly jewel from my neck, Lysander and myself will fly this place. Do you amend it then; it lies in you: Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Doth make your honour of his body's hue, Humphrey of Gloucester? If thou canst accuse, O, he's a limb that has but a disease; Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse O monstrous! what reproachful words are these? Upon the love and truth and vows which I Richard, enough; I will be king, or die. MMCCXXIX - "SHAMEFULLYMISP" Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath And that high royalty was ne'er pluck'd off, Married to your good service, stay till death: Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive For breathing in their faces; beat the ground Upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive, Lascivious metres, to whose venom sound Look, how the world's poor people are amazed Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm Men's liking: and yet he would not swear; praised I dare be bound he's true and shall perform Strike, fellows, strike; this is the man I seek. Peace, thou! and give King Henry leave to speak. MMCCXXX - "LACEDANDMAIDEN" Let guiltless souls be freed from guilty woe: As well as speak--it tauntingly replied Can found his state in safety. Caphis, ho! Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Distress likes dumps when time is kept with tears. As thou canst yield a melancholy seat! Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? Make fearful musters and prepar'd defence, And after bite me, then like hedgehogs which I came to kill thee, cousin, and bear hence Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch: Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Not I, my lord, unless I did bleed too. MMCCXXXI - "VIRTUERUDELYST" Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how I shall; and bring his answer presently. Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Under whose simple semblance he hath fed Exist, and be a member of his love Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: Upon his party for the gain thereof: Do so, and bid my sweet prepare to chide. Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Let two more summers wither in their pride, Young budding virgin, fair and fresh and sweet, Shapes faults that are not--that your wisdom yet, That know the strong'st and surest way to get. MMCCXXXII - "RUMPETEDANDRIG" Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Upon the valleys, whose low vassal seat My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Past all expressing. It is very meet Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make The ringleader and head of all this rout, England we love; and for that England's sake Dispatch; the limit of your lives is out. As if the dead the living should exceed; No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen I will take order for her keeping close. Grief dallied with nor law nor limit knows. MMCCXXXIII - "HTPERFECTIONWR" How possibly preserved; and who to thank, That knows not parching heat nor freezing cold, Perforce will force it overflow the bank. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, For we intend so to dispose you as Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Cry the amen; and yet my conscience says To my keen curses; for without my wrong Is death to any he that utters them. O master, master I have watch'd so long No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Will fashion the event in better shape Rome will despise her for this foul escape. MMCCXXXIV - "ONGFULLYDISGRA" On Tuesday noon, or night; on Wednesday morn: No, this thrice worthy and right valiant lord Gone! they went hence so soon as they were born: Fed from my trencher, kneel'd down at the board. Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Let us entreat, by honour of his name, Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, You are amazed, my liege, at her exclaim: Do you amend it then; it lies in you: If ever man were moved with woman moans, Spiteful and wrathful, who, as others do, Go, count thy way with sighs; I mine with groans. Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. And never mount to trouble you again. MMCCXXXV - "CEDANDSTRENGTH" Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Dyed in the dying slaughter of their foes: And notwithstanding all her sudden quips, No, sir, she shall not, though you take her part. Duke of Alencon, this was your default, Some nobler token I have kept apart The worships of their name.- O most small fault, Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Not any, but abide the change of time, Go we, as well as haste will suffer us, This blended knight, half Trojan and half Greek. Here is the cap your worship did bespeak. MMCCXXXVI - "BYLIMPINGSWAYD" Broke be my sword, my arms torn and defaced, Yet, were there but this single plot to lose, Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Indeed, I am no mourner for that news, My gracious uncle, let me know my fault: Prince Bassianus, leave to plead my deeds: I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault, Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Go to them, with this bonnet in thy hand; Six of his labours you'ld have done, and saved Which else would put you to your fortune and Are visibly character'd and engraved, Your hand, my Perdita: so turtles pair, Devis'd a new commission; wrote it fair. MMCCXXXVII - "ISABLEDANDARTM" Is Caesar yet gone to the Capitol? Spurns at his love and scorns the heat he feels, And military title capital Brutus shall lead; and we will grace his heels Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Doth ill deserve by doing well; what's worse, Ay me! says one; O Jove! the other cries; Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Decrease not, but grow faster than the years: As mine own face. If there be cords, or knives, Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, The knights and gentlemen to come with thee: More than he haply may retail from me. MMCCXXXVIII - "ADETONGUETIEDB" All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick. Destroy'd his country, and his name remains Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; The worth of that is that which it contains, Or dive into the bottom of the deep, Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: Until his army be dismiss'd from him. Even like a man new haled from the rack, That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, If virtue no delighted beauty lack, Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Dead? or asleep? I see no blood, no wound. But who is here? Lysander! on the ground! MMCCXXXIX - "YAUTHORITYANDF" You will compel me, then, to read the will? And let me find a charter in your voice, Urging the worser sense for vantage still; To be new-varnish'd! Well, but to my choice: Her pretty action did outsell her gift, Or live in peace abandon'd and despised! Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift I like thy counsel; well hast thou advised: There's places of rebuke. He was a fool; Your potent and infectious fevers heap And were they to be ruled, and not to rule, Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep. Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike For me, most wretched, to perform the like. MMCCXL - "OLLYDOCTORLIKE" O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath Look, if my gentle love be not raised up! You cannot guess who caused your father's death. Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; O, that that earth which kept the world in awe Commanded always by the greater gust; The duke cannot deny the course of law: Of dire combustion and confused events Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. Liege of all loiterers and malcontents, I must have patience to endure the load: Knows at what time to promise, when to pay. Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MMCCXLI - "CONTROLLINGSKI" Charge him too coldly. Tell him, you are sure Or else he must not only die the death, Now will I hence to seek my lovely Moor, That, when they shall be open'd, black Macbeth Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Opposed to hinder me, should stop my way, Love is too young to know what conscience is; Leave me alone to woo him. Let's away, I offer'd to awaken his regard No, my good lord, he is in presence here. Give him deserved vexation. Let a guard Spoke of in Scotland as this term of fear. Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. I smell sweet savours, and I feel soft things. MMCCXLII - "LLANDSIMPLETRU" Let me be blest to make this happy close; Let pity not be believ'd!' There she shook And when it hath the thing it hunteth most, Now, sir, who's a cuckold now? Master Brook, Darest with thy frozen admonition Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; I would not my unhoused free condition My boat sails freely, both with wind and stream. Percy is but my factor, good my lord, Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Treason, my lord! Lavinia is surprised! Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway, Uncertain of the issue any way. MMCCXLIII - "THMISCALLDSIMP" That his attendant--so his case was like, He had of me a chain: at five o'clock My purpose was for Tarsus, there to strike Is but a quintain, a mere lifeless block. Setting aside his high blood's royalty, Comfort, my lord; and so I take my leave. And then end life when I end loyalty! Let them set on at once; for I perceive Led hither by pure love: which of them both Duke of Alencon, this was your default, Speak truly, on thy knighthood and thy oath; If it were so, it was a grievous fault, My love till death, my humble thanks, my prayers; Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. MMCCXLIV - "LICITYANDCAPTI" Look you, I love you well; I'll give you gold, I say, my daughter is my flesh and blood. Can you, my Lord of Winchester, behold Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, They join and shoot their foam at Simois' banks. Your honours shall perceive how I will work And of his friends there, it is lots to blanks, Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk: Deposed his nephew Richard, Edward's son, Come on, lay it by: and let's first see moe And were I not immortal, life were done Presenteth Moonshine; for, if you will know, That which my daughter came to look upon, I had forgot! 'Tis so concluded on. MMCCXLV - "VEGOODATTENDIN" Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is most dear, Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich O, here it is. Uncle, I must come forth. Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth The king was slily finger'd from the deck! The dominations, royalties and rights Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. None that beheld him, but, like lesser lights, Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Not painted with the crimson spots of blood. MMCCXLVI - "GCAPTAINILLTIR" Good mother, be content; it is no more Call hither to the stake my two brave bears, And my consent ne'er ask'd herein before! Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. The only soil of his fair virtue's gloss, Are weakly fortress'd from a world of harms. If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, No: know the gallant monarch is in arms If speaking, why, a vane blown with all winds; Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove: Let me not to the marriage of true minds The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, It is not good to cross him; give him way. Right glad I am he was not at this fray. MMCCXLVII - "EDWITHALLTHESE" Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? Why speaks my father so ungently? This I'll have five hundred voices of that sound. Than those that walk and wot not what they are. He never would have stay'd in France so long. And when the morning sun shall raise his car Let grow thy sinews till their knots be strong, Lies crafty-sick. The posts come tiring on, The worth of that is that which it contains, Hark, canst thou hear me? I will play the swan. Endue you with the people's voice: remains So that my errand, due unto my tongue, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMCCXLVIII - "FROMTHESEWOULD" Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Or any groat I hoarded to my use, My lords, when you shall know--as in this rage, That ever holds: who riseth from a feast Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Whilst others come to make him lose at home: Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Unless he do submit himself to Rome. Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath Doth this news hold of good King Edward's death? MMCCXLIX - "IBEGONESAVETHA" In that vast tennis-court, have made the ball But, in defence, by mercy, 'tis most just. Else shall you not have any hand at all Gazing upon the Greeks with little lust: On thee, the troubler of the poor world's peace! Not that I fear to stay, but love to go Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Seeing such emulation in their woe, And if thou dost not hide thee from the bear, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. To keep in darkness what occasion now Hover about me with your airy wings And kill the bees that yield it with your stings! MMCCL - "TTODIEILEAVEMY" Then think you right: I am not what I am. That you shall say my cunning drift excels. O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb Dares stir a wing, if Warwick shake his bells. I am so far already in your gifts,-- Even so void is your false heart of truth. I see a man here needs not live by shifts, Let it be so: I do commit his youth Else shall you not have any hand at all Although I swear it to myself alone. Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Enough to purchase what you have made known. Madam, a noble gentleman of Rome, Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. MMCCLI - "LOVEALONEAHWHE" Let mine own judgment pattern out my death, Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Each opposite that blanks the face of joy And, if we meet, we shall not scape a brawl; Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal: Or by the father there were none at all; Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: As if the world were all dissolved to tears, Hear, hear how dying Salisbury doth groan! Who like a brother toil'd in my affairs How can I then return in happy plight, Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMCCLII - "REFOREWITHINFE" Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What For lovers say, the heart hath treble wrong Of her or you, having proceeded but Recall not what we give, and therein may Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: What hath proceeded worthy note to-day. If it be made of penetrable stuff; Then, Pistol, lay thy head in Furies' lap. He show'd his warrant to a friend of mine: If they hold when their ladies bid 'em clap. Near to the walls, by some apparent sign For no name fits thy nature but thy own! Enough to purchase what you have made known. MMCCLIII - "CTIONSHOULDHEL" Could trammel up the consequence, and catch To drown me in thy sister's flood of tears: I that do bring the news made not the match. O, then his lines would ravish savage ears Now, governor of Paris, take your oath, Suppose that I am now my father's mouth; He loses hearts: Lepidus flatters both, O prudent discipline! From north to south: Upon this business my appearance make Love is too young to know what conscience is; Descend to darkness and the burning lake! Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; Environ you, till mischief and despair Leave them as naked as the vulgar air. MMCCLIV - "IVEANDWITHHISP" If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, Visit the speechless sick and still converse Ere such another Julius. Britain is A plague on thee! thou art too bad to curse. No, never such an oath; nor will not now. Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign: Which vulgar scandal stamp'd upon my brow; I shall be reconciled to him again. To hug with swine, to seek sweet safety out How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, Hearing applause and universal shout, I sent your message; who return'd her thanks Shall have the leading of this foot and horse. Presented to the tears of soft remorse. MMCCLV - "RESENCEGRACEIM" Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. She hath not yet forgot him: some more time Each jealous of the other, as the stung Never was such a sudden scholar made; Come hither, Bess, and let me kiss my boy. Each present lord began to promise aid, Good angels guard thee from the boar's annoy! Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; As one that surfeits thinking on a want. Cooling his hot face in the chastest tears Each cheek a river running from a fount In the remembrance of a weeping queen. My Oberon! what visions have I seen! MMCCLVI - "PIETYTHATSINBY" Prefer you to his daughter. Frame yourself Inclined to this intelligence, pronounce Else would he never so demean himself. The dearer by I know how much an ounce. Yea, curse his better angel from his side, To be corrupted with my worthless gifts. Hath clapp'd his tail between his legs and cried: And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Than in my greatness covet to be hid, Set foot under thy table. Tut, a toy! It did, it did; alas the day, it did! Never, O never shall I see more joy! But ever puny whipster gets my sword: You flow to great distraction; come, my lord. MMCCLVII - "HIMADVANTAGESH" How, sir! are you in earnest then, my lord? It were not good; for therein should we read My sacred aunt, should by my mortal sword As if the golden fee for which I plead Do challenge thee to trial of a man. Very hardly upon such a subject. As thou art a knave, and no knave. What an Nor construe any further my neglect, To seek him here that means not to be found. And yet, forsooth, she is a virgin pure. Giving myself a voluntary wound Exposing what is mortal and unsure Shaking their scratch'd ears, bleeding as they go. How now, my lords! what, all unready so? MMCCLVIII - "OULDACHIEVEAND" O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Upon his face an ocean of salt tears, Look, if my gentle love be not raised up! Did give him that same royalty he wears; And Lapland sorcerers inhabit here. Counting no old thing old, thou mine, I thine, His royal self in judgment comes to hear If broken then, it is no fault of mine: Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. And would have kept so long as breath did last! Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Dial is now upon the prick of noon. MMCCLIX - "LACEITSELFWITH" Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. And pray that I may repossess the crown. Create her child of spleen, that it may live Enow to press a royal merchant down I sent him from the mart. See, here he comes. To burn the guiltless casket where it lay! Serving of becks and jutting-out of bums! Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Let guiltless souls be freed from guilty woe: For him that brought it. Wretched though I seem, Well hast thou spoken, cousin: be it so. Into the channel, till the lowest stream They were all struck for thee! naught that I am, He hath no eyes, the dust hath blinded them. MMCCLX - "HISSOCIETYWHYS" His tears run down his beard, like winter's drops Is more vindicative than jealous love: Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. She'll none o' the count: she'll not match above Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; I cry your honour mercy; you may, worst Except it be to pray against thy foes.

Farewell, And I do stand engaged to many Greeks, Lord Buckingham, methinks, you watch'd her well: Should hold up high in brass, and such again England did never owe so sweet a hope, Pernicious blood-sucker of sleeping men!

Or with a base and boist'rous sword enforce Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool; Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, And were they to be ruled, and not to rule, Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails To find the mind's construction in the face: You wronged yourself to write in such a case.

Upon the heels of my presentment, sir. MMCCLXXIV - "SHTHROUGHLIVEL" Since that my case is past the help of law.

Saw you not, even now, a blessed troop Or whether that the body public be That the probation bear no hinge nor loop His uncle York; where I first bow'd my knee Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. God safely quit her of her burthen, and Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. O, who can give an oath? where is a book? MMCCCX - "BBINGNOOLDTODR" Be not to be a strumpet, I am none. But must condemn it now. Desist, and drink. It made me laugh to see the villain run. No bitterness that I will bitter think, Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; No, nor the fruitful river in the eye, Out, some light horsemen, and peruse their wings. O, let me in my present wildness die, Let's tune, and to it lustily awhile. Do all expect that you should rouse yourself, That they'll not show their teeth in way of smile, Of their afflictions, and shall not myself, Do me no slander, Douglas: by my life, Render me worthy of this noble wife! MMCCCXI - "ESSHISBEAUTYNE" Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Should have kept short, restrain'd, and out of haunt Speak England first, that hath been forward first Henry doth claim the crown from John of Gaunt, I oft found both: I urge this childhood proof, So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. But with a crafty madness keeps aloof Effect it with some care, that he may prove And drink it off; and, if you had the strength Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, To eke it and to draw it out in length, You, madam, for you are more nobly born, Nor aught so good but strain'd from that fair use Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMCCCXII - "WANDHIMASFORAM" Well, let my deeds be witness of my worth. And curtain'd with a counsel-keeping cave, Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth Drown desperate sorrow in dead Edward's grave, Here shall they make their ransom on the sand, It is to you, good people, that I speak, My evils conjured to remembrance and As though she bid me stay by her a week; Should not be utter'd feebly. It is held Full often, like a shag-hair'd crafty kern, O, how it yearn'd my heart when I beheld Ready to go, but never to return. And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets. My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets! MMCCCXIII - "APDOTHNATUREST" As now they are, and making practised smiles, Patience is scottish, and impatience does Do swarm upon him--from the western isles O, she was nought; and long of her it was That I was sent for nothing but a rope! He did, from first to last: why dost thou ask? No harm by it, though the gods hear, I hope And stain my favours in a bloody mask, They were but sweet, but figures of delight, Until thy head be circled with the same. Receive thy lance; and God defend the right! Envy your great deservings and good name, So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, Turns into yellow gold his salt green streams. MMCCCXIV - "ORETOSHOWFALSE" O, change thy thought, that I may change my mind! Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Expect him here: when he shall come and find To-morrow I intend to hunt again. Of place, time, fortune, do cohere and jump See what a grace was seated on this brow; Hence, heap of wrath, foul indigested lump, O villain! thy lips are scarce wiped since thou Will bear up with this exercise, so long For nature puts me to a heavy task: An if you leave me so, you do me wrong. Like powder in a skitless soldier's flask, Still to remember wrongs? Daughter, speak you: Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. MMCCCXV - "ARTWHATBEAUTYW" As are the swelling Adriatic seas. Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, These are complements, these are humours; these When he to madding Dido would unfold Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? As did that one; and that, in my regard, This do, and do it kindly, gentle sirs; But she is arm'd for him and keeps her guard Even or odd, of all days in the year, And purge it to a sound and pristine health, Unless the Dauphin be in presence here, To let the wretched man outlive his wealth, Yourself? Why, do you not perceive the jest? Whereat a villain's not a welcome guest. MMCCCXVI - "ASOFYORETHOSEP" Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth Such as it is; and for my own poor part, Or what hath this bold enterprise brought forth For by his face straight shall you know his heart. Yonder comes news. A wager they have met. Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest. Rome shall record, and when I do forget Excepting one, I would he were the best The nature of your griefs, and whereupon How covert matters may be best disclosed, Out of the bloody fingers' ends of John. She weeps, and says her Henry is deposed; Every man shift for all the rest, and Prepare you, lords, for Edward is at hand. MMCCCXVII - "ARTSOFTHEETHAT" As dear to me as are the ruddy drops Robbing no old to dress his beauty new; That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops-- So tender over his occasions, true, Of both your armies; whose equality Fie, uncle Beaufort! I have heard you preach That will be thaw'd from the true quality His folly to the mettle of my speech? Envy your great deservings and good name, Expecting in return twenty for one? To tell your grace, that, having heard by fame Hail, all you state of Greece! what shall be done And your three motives to the battle, with Take leave and part; for you must part forthwith. MMCCCXVIII - "THEWORLDSEYEDO" Therefore my mistress' brows are raven black, Himself! no, he's not himself: would a' were Even like a man new haled from the rack, Well, he may chance to do some good on her: Or let me lose the fashion of a man! Relieved him with such sanctity of love, Lucy, farewell; no more my fortune can, Disburse the sum on the receipt thereof: Shut up your doors, my lord: 'tis a wild night. Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Your highness aims at, if I aim aright. Environed with all these hideous fears? During whose reign the Percies of the north, O, here it is. Uncle, I must come forth. MMCCCXIX - "THVIEWWANTNOTH" That thou, Iago, who hast had my purse How I may be deliver'd of these woes, Visit the speechless sick and still converse I am a feather for each wind that blows: Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Why, sir, you know no house nor no such maid, What maintenance he from his friends receives, And come ye now to tell me John hath made Never to speak of this that you have seen. The noble duke hath been too much abused. No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, O, that a lady, of one man refused. Thou bid'st me beg: this begging is not strange. How came the noble Timon to this change? MMCCCXX - "INGTHATTHETHOU" It shall be done; I will arraign them straight. None can be call'd deform'd but the unkind: Great Juno, comes; I know her by her gait. To be of such a weak and silly mind Her head's declined, and death will seize her, but And controversy hence a question takes, Thus, what with the war, what with the sweat, what The very soul, and sweet religion makes How now, my lord! why do you keep alone, Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Take't up, I say; give't to thy crone. Having been well, that would have made me sick, Only, in lieu thereof, dispatch me hence. Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. MMCCCXXI - "GHTOFHEARTSCAN" Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. Her best is better'd with a more delight. Touch you the sourest points with sweetest terms, O, be not proud, nor brag not of thy might, False to his children or his wife's allies Have I not heard the sea, puff'd up with winds, Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, All's not offence that indiscretion finds Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem The son of Clarence have I pent up close; Sit fas aut nefas, till I find the stream Chief architect and plotter of these woes: As great in admiration as herself; Nay, answer me. Stand and unfold yourself. MMCCCXXII - "MENDALLTONGUES" Madam, by chance but not by truth; what though? Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Nay, tell me if you speak in jest or no. Do the low-rated English play at dice; As hath been belch'd on by infected lungs. Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath Lend me the flourish of all gentle tongues,-- That I am guiltless of your father's death, Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, Grey of Northumberland, this same is yours: Under your good correction, I have seen, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Shall outstrike thought: but thought will do't, I feel. MMCCCXXIII - "THEVOICEOFSOUL" That is no fleering tell-tale. Hold, my hand: How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? Every man shift for all the rest, and Visit the speechless sick and still converse Or by his foe surprised at unawares: In stiff unwieldy arms against thy crown: Cooling his hot face in the chastest tears Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. On pain of torture, from those bloody hands From south to west on wing soaring aloft, Should many people, under two commands, O, yes; and went between us very oft. Upon old Brutus' statue: all this done, Lady Beatrice, I will get you one. MMCCCXXIV - "SGIVETHEETHATD" So may a thousand actions, once afoot. Going to chapel; and the voice is now I have procured thee, Jack, a charge of foot. Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Thus much the business is: we have here writ Have torn their souls by turning them from us, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Except it be to pray against thy foes. Then pause not; for the present time's so sick, He hath a person and a smooth dispose And made an evening at the noontide prick. To creatures stern sad tunes, to change their kinds: Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines? MMCCCXXV - "UEUTTERINGBARE" Under the service of a child as soon Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Unto the lodging where I first did swoon? That shake me thus. Pish! Noses, ears, and lips. Think upon what hath chanced, and, at more time, Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Is't possible you will away to-night? Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Go, go, my servant, take thou Troilus' horse; Bow, stubborn knees; and heart with strings of steel, And towards London they do bend their course, Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Even in the presence of the crowned king. MMCCCXXVI - "TRUTHEVENSOASF" The worst of all her scholars, my good lord. Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Under the wrath of noble Hotspur's sword, This Plot of death when sadly she had laid, He says they can do nothing in this kind. Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, So long as out of limit and true rule Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. As I do live by food, I met a fool, So much against the mettle of your sex, Falsely to draw me in these vile suspects. MMCCCXXVII - "OESCOMMENDTHYO" Only be patient till we have appeased Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, She makes it strange; but she would be best pleased Come, let us go, and make thy father blind; On any ground that I am ruler of, Madam, undress you, and come now to bed. My friends were poor, but honest; so's my love: Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? No, by the holy rood, thou know'st it well, Doors, that were ne'er acquainted with their wards To countenance this horror! Ring the bell. How far into the morning is it, lords? York set him on to fight and die in shame, Or whether revolution be the same. MMCCCXXVIII - "UTWARDTHUSWITH" Unless the Lady Bona quit his pain. That I might sing it, madam, to a tune. Would that alone, alone he would detain, As true as steel, as plantage to the moon, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Death lies on her like an untimely frost To seem like him: so that in speech, in gait, Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; Uncle, farewell: and, cousin too, adieu: So come to you and yours, as to this Prince! Which seen, her eyes, as murder'd with the view, I heard no letter from my master since That same Biron I'll torture ere I go: Holy Franciscan friar! brother, ho! MMCCCXXIX - "OUTWARDPRAISEI" O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb Unto a view so false will not incline; That I, unworthy body as I am, What means that hand upon that breast of thine? Are you at leisure, holy father, now; Rome shall record, and when I do forget Doth noise abroad, Navarre hath made a vow, Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past In the most terrible and nimble stroke Sir Valentine, whither away so fast? Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; It is no sin at all, but charity. MMCCCXXX - "SCROWNDBUTTHOS" She bade good night that kept my rest away; Come, mistress, you must tell's another tale. Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey, Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male What will you do, good grey-beard? break a lance, Now sit we close about this taper here, Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, Both her sweet hands, her tongue, and that more dear Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou The battles of the Lord of hosts he fought: To make him seem long hence as he shows now. His father never was so true begot: One drunkard loves another of the name. Shame and eternal shame, nothing but shame! MMCCCXXXI - "ESAMETONGUESTH" Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Such men my friends than enemies. Go on, And posts, like the commandment of a king, My birth-place hate I, and my love's upon Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. The tongue of Isabel. She's come to know Or, Hubert, if you will, cut out my tongue, Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow, Great pails of puddled mire to quench the hair: Usurps the regal title and the seat Else would I very shortly see thee there. Still betters what is done. When you speak, sweet. The more degenerate and base art thou, How far is it, my lord, to Berkeley now? MMCCCXXXII - "ATGIVETHEESOTH" A lullaby too rough: I never saw The extreme parts of time extremely forms Go, Lovel, with all speed to Doctor Shaw; Into so bright a day such black-faced storms, Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, England shall double gild his treble guilt; Thawing cold fear, that mean and gentle all, He was a gentleman on whom I built Establish him in his true sense again, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign So are they all, all honourable men-- Of thine affairs, as well as thou of mine? Turn, or the breaking of my Spanish sword. Hath been between this lady and this lord. MMCCCXXXIII - "INEOWNINOTHERA" I prithee, do not strive against my vows: No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Or sells eternity to get a toy? Whose life's as tender to me as my soul! Not all together: better far, I guess, I would the state of time had first been whole Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, To wrong my friend, I shall be much forsworn; Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice End in one purpose, and be all well borne Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. And here comes Clifford to deny their bail. MMCCCXXXIV - "CCENTSDOTHISPR" Call not your stocks for me. I serve the King; Could make me any summer's story tell, Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring No, sir, no jot; I know your favour well, That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, Set it down. Is ink and paper ready? Defend the justice of my cause with arms, Of fourteen; I have known thee already. Thrice hath this Hotspur, Mars in swathling clothes, Hath not that honour in't it had; for where Into a thousand oaths; and all those oaths Say, is my kingdom lost? why, 'twas my care Prove true, imagination, O, prove true, Reverend youth; and I praise God for you. MMCCCXXXV - "AISECONFOUNDBY" As the unsullied lily, I protest, Into the staggers and the careless lapse So many hours must I take my rest; Expire before the flowers in their caps, Command the conquest, Charles, it shall be thine, O husband, God doth know you dined at home; Neither disturbed with the effect of wine, For peace, for love, for league, and good to Rome: O, thou didst prophesy the time would come Upon the next live creature that it sees. Now, neighbour confines, purge you of your scum. Domestics to you, serve your will as't please But we will presently provide for them. You see how simple and how fond I am. MMCCCXXXVI - "SEEINGFARTHERT" Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood. Even like a man new haled from the rack, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. I will not be denied: sweet heart, look back. Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, God-den to your worship, good Captain James. First, in this forest let us do those ends And arm the minds of infants to exclaims. Rome's royal mistress, mistress of my heart, Too headstrong for their mother. See, we fools! Hearing the surges threat: we must all part Either they must be dieted like mules Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: The king hath many marching in his coats. MMCCCXXXVII - "HANTHEEYEHATHS" How canst thou urge God's dreadful law to us, As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Then murders, treasons and detested sins, He then that is not furnish'd in this sort Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Except some petty towns of no import: Your brother Richard mark'd him for the grave: Except you mean with obstinate repulse He must be taught and train'd and bid go forth; And, gazing in mine eyes, feeling my pulse, To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Hath to the marbled mansion all above Shall change all griefs and quarrels into love. MMCCCXXXVIII - "HOWNTHEYLOOKIN" He asks of you, that never used to beg. O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit When your young nephew Titus lost his leg: Never did passenger in summer's heat They come like sacrifices in their trim, Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. Your breath of full consent bellied his sails; Like to a tenement or pelting farm: On any ground that I am ruler of, One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Kate, eat apace. And now, my honey love, I have provided for you: stay awhile, Now, Falstaff, where have you been all this while? MMCCCXXXIX - "TOTHEBEAUTYOFT" To sue his livery and beg his peace, Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Troilus had rather Troy were borne to Greece Hath given me some worthy cause to wish Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, And that young Harry Percy's spur was cold. Under an oak, whose boughs were moss'd with age, The precious treasure of his eyesight lost: Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, Or, by the gods, this speech were else your last. For the instalment of this noble duke Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. MMCCCXL - "HYMINDANDTHATI" Hath told the thievish minutes how they pass, Yet hear me, countrymen; yet hear me speak. Methought I was enamour'd of an ass. I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak, Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw Doth Arthur live? O, haste thee to the peers, And much too little of that good I saw Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. Too headstrong for their mother. See, we fools! Her face the book of praises, where is read Always a villain's office or a fool's. That holds his honour higher than his ease, I cannot be much lower than my knees. MMCCCXLI - "NGUESSTHEYMEAS" Name her not now, sir; she's a deadly theme. Go hence; good night; and here stands all your state: Unless it be whilst some tormenting dream Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Sentenced and stay upon execution. Since that my case is past the help of law. The dauntless spirit of resolution. Her eyes, though sod in tears, look'd red and raw, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, Makes me with heavy nothing faint and shrink. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: As doth a raven on a sick-fall'n beast, Say but the word, and I will be his priest. MMCCCXLII - "UREBYTHYDEEDST" Unto the main! O father, Maine is lost; Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird Yourself, assisted with your honour'd friends, That I have room with Rome to curse awhile! Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Yet be most proud of that which I compile, Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. England, impatient of your just demands, Did I impale him with the regal crown? Scratching her legs, that one shall swear she bleeds That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds? MMCCCXLIII - "HENCHURLSTHEIR" His statutes cancell'd and his treasure spent; Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: Cold statues of the youth, and, in a word, How fain would I have hated all mankind! Upon her nuptial vow, her loyalty, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Lo, here, this long-usurped royalty Should so profane the word, that taught me craft The light will show, character'd in my brow, Hang them or stab them, drown them in a draught, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. If they not thought the profits of my death Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. MMCCCXLIV - "THOUGHTSALTHOU" The mighty sender, doth he prize you at. How often said, my dignity would last Of full three thousand ducats. What of that? Unto the main! O father, Maine is lost; God keep all vows unbroke that swear to thee! Henry the Fifth: whiles they each other cross, This I do vow and this shall ever be; Sir, you may thank yourself for this great loss, And therefore is Love said to be a child, Like powder in a skitless soldier's flask, Take up those cords: poor ropes, you are beguiled, He did, from first to last: why dost thou ask? Of such as your oppression feeds upon, Uncle of Winchester, I pray, read on. MMCCCXLV - "GHTHEIREYESWER" Go to him, Dolabella, bid him yield; He shall here find his friends with horse and men They basely fly and dare not stay the field. He gave his nose and took't away again; Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: I cannot, 'twixt the heaven and the main, Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Establish him in his true sense again, You, to remove that siege of grief from her, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Show'd like a mine. Their dwarfish pages were Without the which a soldier, and his sword, Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MMCCCXLVI - "EKINDTOTHYFAIR" Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. I do not bid thee beg my life, good lad; Not mad, but bound more than a mad-man is; Do outrage and displeasure to himself? That proof is call'd impossibility. Or hath mine uncle Beaufort and myself, The napless vesture of humility; Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; Your gracious self to take on you the charge For thou art not so long by the head as And, ere I part with thee, confer at large If I unwittingly, or in my rage, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! MMCCCXLVII - "FLOWERADDTHERA" For what they have not, that which they possess Loud music is too harsh for ladies' heads, O Antony, beg not your death of us. Why sweat they under burthens? let their beds Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. All turn'd to heresy? Away, away, Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, That sweepstake you will draw both friend and foe, He that perforce robs lions of their hearts Early and late, debating to and fro Read to her sons than she hath read to thee And thou, all they, hast all the all of me. MMCCCXLVIII - "NKSMELLOFWEEDS" Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? King, father, royal Dane. O, answer me? Soldiers, this day have you redeemed your lives, My soul flies through these wounds to seek out Thee. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell Long since thy husband served me in my wars, O, then, what graces in my love do dwell, Fly, fly, fly! Sir Humphrey Stafford and his Was in my nobler thoughts most base, is now Ere such another Julius. Britain is Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Descend, and open your uncharged ports: Stuffing the ears of men with false reports. MMCCCXLIX - "BUTWHYTHYODOUR" Break with your wives of your departure hence: Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, That palter with us in a double sense; With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn His time of fearing death. Stoop, Romans, stoop, Your own glass shows you when you look in it. There will the lovely Roman ladies troop: His weapons holy saws of sacred writ, You are their heir; you sit upon their throne; Of the all-building law; and that there were Dismask'd, their damask sweet commixture shown, O, here he is! Lay hand upon him.- Sir, Upon that day either prepare to die Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. MMCCCL - "MATCHETHNOTTHY" Master: Anne is a good girl, and I wish-- As Stephen Sly, and old John Naps of Greece, The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish Cease, cease these jars and rest your minds in peace: Here are your sons again; and I must lose Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, The dedicated words which writers use Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's No; let him die, in that he is a fox, Of Hymen's purest bed! thou valiant Mars! Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Thou coward, art thou bragging to the stars, Had I been seized by a hungry lion, You call love to be a sect or scion. MMCCCLI - "SHOWTHESOLVEIS" She sinketh down, still hanging by his neck, His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes; O, let me suffer, being at your beck, While we were interchanging thrusts and blows, There vanish'd in the sunbeams: which portends-- Henry the Eighth, life, honour, name and all Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, See how the surly Warwick mans the wall! Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast Losing her woes in shows of discontent. Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Either of king or council, when you went I cry you mercy, madam; was it you? So, on my soul, he did, for aught he knew. MMCCCLII - "THISTHATTHOUDO" Thy pains not used must by thyself be paid: Huntsman, I charge thee, tender well my hounds; I pray, awake, sir. If you love the maid, Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Though rebels wound thee with their horses' hoofs: He cried almost to roaring; and he wept And this may help to thicken other proofs The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: Thou antic death, which laugh'st us here to scorn, Hark, what good sport is out of town to-day! Or the hard rein which both of them have borne Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay! Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; O passing traitor, perjured and unjust! MMCCCLIII - "STCOMMONGROWTH" She hath had too much wrong; and I repent The Turkish preparation makes for Rhodes; Cool shadow to his melting buttock lent: Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads Matter against him that for ever mars My Lord of York, it better show'd with you O, sir, to such as boasting show their scars Not I, my lord, unless I did bleed too. Give me your gloves, I'll wear them for your sake; Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Only this proof I'll of thy valour make, Within this limit is relief enough, They shall be praying nuns, not weeping queens; Have you importuned him by any means? MMCCCLIV - "ATTHOUARTBLAME" A valiant son-in-law thou shalt enjoy; They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds There's nothing in this world can make me joy: Huntsman, I charge thee, tender well my hounds; O queen of queens! how far dost thou excel, Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie. Above my fortunes, yet my state is well: Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? But that's no argument for kissing now; Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host, And when she put it on, she made me vow Must give: for what? for lead? hazard for lead? Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? MMCCCLV - "DSHALLNOTBETHY" Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Shall I forget myself to be myself? Hunting he loved, but love he laugh'd to scorn; Affliction till it do cry out itself Loaden with irons wiser than the judge, Lorenzo, I commit into your hands Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: But in thy fortunes am unlearn'd and strange. Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. The childing autumn, angry winter, change Here folds she up the tenor of her woe, You shall know all that you are like to know. MMCCCLVI - "DEFECTFORSLAND" Doth not the object cheer your heart, my lord? Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. For he tonight shall lie with Mistress Ford. Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back: This prince in justice seizeth but his own. For as I am, I live upon the rack. Or, wing'd with fervor of her love, she's flown Ready to catch each other by the throat, Shall it for shame be spoken in these days, Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat Ah, when the means are gone that buy this praise, No more than I am well acquitted of. Dear amity and everlasting love. MMCCCLVII - "ERSMARKWASEVER" Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Stones have been known to move and trees to speak; My lord and master loves you: O, such love And all the Greekish girls shall tripping sing, Reprove my allegation, if you can; King did I call thee? no, thou art not king, Would you would bear your fortune like a man! And with his knee the door he opens wide. Sir, you say well, and well you do conceive; Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Verona, for a while I take my leave, Even so void is your false heart of truth. Remains in danger of her former tooth. MMCCCLVIII - "YETTHEFAIRTHEO" You never shall, so help you truth and God! Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, The bitter past, more welcome is the sweet. Have after-nourishment and life by care; Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? For ere thou canst report I will be there, And then away to Venice to your friend; In a sweet verbal brief, it did concern Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! The precious jewel of thy home return. His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, O, I will to him and pluck out his eyes! MMCCCLIX - "RNAMENTOFBEAUT" Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Away the performance: therefore, much drink My lord, he fears you mean no good to him. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? That promise noble service: and they come O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! For, meeting her of late behind the wood, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: A lullaby too rough: I never saw Unlike young men, whom Aristotle thought That this fair action may on foot be brought. MMCCCLX - "YISSUSPECTACRO" You all look strangely on me; and you most. If I lose them, thus find I by their loss Sometimes he talks as if Duke Humphrey's ghost Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Under the tide: but now I breathe again Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's tooth: Pernicious blood-sucker of sleeping men! Even so void is your false heart of truth. Come, let us hence, and put on other weeds; The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, A native slip to us from foreign seeds: Chide me no more. I'll mountebank their loves, Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! Of your profession? Speak, what trade art thou? MMCCCLXI - "WTHATFLIESINHE" Without the beauty of a woman's face? Thou nobly base, they basely dignified; Her arms do lend his neck a sweet embrace; And so I was; which plainly signified To half a soul and to a notion crazed For that I heard the clink and fall of swords, Look, how the world's poor people are amazed If for the last, say ay, and to it, lords. Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, I hear the King my father is sore sick. No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: Her hair, like golden threads, play'd with her breath; Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MMCCCLXII - "AVENSSWEETESTA" Art not without ambition, but without Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Empale him with your weapons round about; Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place, She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, So fought, so followed, and so fairly won, Which shackles accidents and bolts up change; Expecting in return twenty for one? Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Then thieves and robbers range abroad unseen Each jealous of the other, as the stung She did disdain my child, and stood between Tell me thy mind; for I have Pisa left And scape detecting, I will pay the theft. MMCCCLXIII - "IRSOTHOUBEGOOD" It easeth some, though none it ever cured, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; She's such a one, that, were I well assured Or as a little snow, tumbled about, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly His leaves will wither and his sap decay; Of marching to Philippi presently? Unarm, unarm, and do not fight to-day. But not to tell of good or evil luck, Each jealous of the other, as the stung Great men have reaching hands: oft have I struck Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Or daring-hardy as to touch the lists, Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. MMCCCLXIV - "SLANDERDOTHBUT" So puts himself unto the shipman's toil, Lives in men's eyes and will to ears and tongues Abase foul stone, made precious by the foil Not fearing outward force, so shall my lungs Doth root upon, while that the coulter rusts Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Run not before mine honour, nor my lusts Debts wither 'em to nothing; be men like O, this will make my mother die with grief! The one as famous for a scolding tongue Hath now himself met with the fall of leaf: Believe so much in him, that he is young, Upon the country where you make abode; That bottled spider, that foul bunch-back'd toad! MMCCCLXV - "APPROVETHYWORT" As is my grief, or lesser than my name! Pardon me, sir, the boldness is mine own Pardon, dear madam: 'tis a passing shame Revenge upon myself with present moan? On her bare breast, the heart of all her land; Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Every man shift for all the rest, and That damned brawn shall play Dame Mortimer his His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Yet bend not all the harm upon yourself; When I arrived and heard thee, that made gape Of their afflictions, and shall not myself, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. The better cherish'd, still the nearer death. MMCCCLXVI - "HTHEGREATERBEI" His deeds with doing them, and is content The shame and fault finds no excuse nor end. His comforts thrive, his trials well are spent. Each hath his place and function to attend: Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, And, hark, what discord follows! each thing meets This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Establish him in his true sense again, Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods But herein mean I to enrich my pain, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Is jollity for apes and grief for boys. MMCCCLXVII - "NGWOODOFTIMEFO" No; though thou call'st thyself a hotter name Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life; We'll quickly rouse the traitors in the same. O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? On the green coverlet; whose perfect white During whose reign the Percies of the north, Of bloody turbulence, and this whole night For I am shamed by that which I bring forth, The interruption of their churlish drums Into the fatal bowels of the deep. Man here to school. Look, where his master comes; Edward and York; then haply she will weep: For God's sake, lords, convey my tristful queen; Or else he never would compare between. MMCCCLXVIII - "RCANKERVICETHE" Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Consent to pay thee that I never had! And bid the owners quench them with their tears. Now, good sweet nurse,--O Lord, why look'st thou sad? Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. Each changing place with that which goes before, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? If that the Dauphin there, thy princely son, Confronts your city's eyes, your winking gates; Expecting in return twenty for one? To melt the city leads upon your pates, Herein lives wisdom, beauty and increase: Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. MMCCCLXIX - "SWEETESTBUDSDO" So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. With a paper: God give him grace to groan! Effect it with some care, that he may prove Enough to purchase what you have made known. This mad-brain'd bridegroom took him such a cuff Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough: To slay your sovereign and destroy the realm. Be prodigal: the lamp that burns by night Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; Doubtless he would have made a noble knight; Such childish humour from weak minds proceeds: Dine with my father, drink a health to me. Of greater time than I shall show to be. MMCCCLXX - "THLOVEANDTHOUP" They are worse fools to purchase mocking so. He did, from first to last: why dost thou ask? Look forward on the journey you shall go. On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Values itself so highly that to her Each heart in Rome does love and pity you: As you have whisper'd faithfully you were, No, sir, but hear I do that he hath two: Deliver them, and your appeal to us This said, his guilty hand pluck'd up the latch, How shall I honour thee for this success? Out of his subject; and we here dispatch Upbraided me about the rose I wear; Please you draw near. Louder the music there! MMCCCLXXI - "RESENTSTAPUREU" Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, So may the outward shows be least themselves: Environed with all these hideous fears? No certain life achieved by others' death. To match with her that brings no vantages. Shall be when your first queen's again in breath; To cull the plots of best advantages: And sigh'd his soul toward the Grecian tents, Prove that I cannot, take me home again, Unless you can find sport in their intents, Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Early and late, debating to and fro Upon my blessing, I command thee go. MMCCCLXXII - "NSTAINEDPRIMET" Nothing becomes him ill that he would well. Shall be brought drunken forth, and I shall see To noise abroad that Harry Monmouth fell A very fatal place it seems to me. I am amazed, methinks, and lose my way Nothing but sit and sit, and eat and eat! Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us I love him not, nor hate him not; and yet My liege! my lord! but now a king, now thus. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; That two such noble peers as ye should jar! MMCCCLXXIII - "HOUHASTPASSDBY" He prays but faintly and would be denied; Or that we would, against the form of law, Unto the legions on the other side. How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, Ay, what of that? it was my will and grant; Since you did leave it for my office, sir. That this his love was an eternal plant, Pray thee, peace. Pay her the debt you owe her, An't had been a green hair, I should have laughed Some entertainment for them in their tents. Should so profane the word, that taught me craft Dies in the zeal of that which it presents: By the suggestion of the queen's allies; Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. MMCCCLXXIV - "THEAMBUSHOFYOU" To penetrative shame, whilst the wheel'd seat Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Ah, Humphrey, can I bear this shameful yoke? My foot shall fight with all the strength thou hast; But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit. Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Stand in the plague of custom, and permit Her times of preservation, which perforce O, these encounterers, so glib of tongue, For hither we have broken in by force. Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young On your broad main doth wilfully appear. Unclaim'd of any man. But who comes here? MMCCCLXXV - "NGDAYSEITHERNO" Nay, he must bear you company. The king Go therefore, tell thy master here I am; Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, And when the lion fawns upon the lamb, You conjure from the breast of civil peace Steal from his figure and no pace perceived; Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. I'll hunt with him; and let them be received, Then the liars and swearers are fools, He hath but as offended in a dream! Either they must be dieted like mules Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Not like a woman; for I would prevent Or nature makes me suddenly relent. MMCCCLXXVI - "TASSAILDORVICT" The pretty follies that themselves commit; All feasts, societies, and throngs of men! So that but one heart we can make of it; So fitly? Go, bid all my friends again, And I, an ass, am onion-eyed: for shame, If you suppose as fearing you it shook. Let us entreat, by honour of his name, Damn'd in the first beginners!--gan to look Of many thousand kisses the poor last Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, Compact with her that's gone, think'st thou thy oaths, To me she's married, not unto my clothes. MMCCCLXXVII - "ORBEINGCHARGED" O noble prince, I can discover all Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, But, like a shrew, you first begin to brawl. Enough to purchase what you have made known. I thought upon one pair of English legs No new device to beat this from his brains? Go thou. I'll fetch some flax and whites of eggs Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- And now their pride and mettle is asleep, Reward did threaten and encourage him, Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: Ere three days pass, which hath as long lov'd me Day serves not light more faithful than I'll be. MMCCCLXXVIII - "YETTHISTHYPRAI" Your oaths are pass'd; and now subscribe your names, Each in his office ready at thy beck. The Duke of Suffolk is the first, and claims The king was slily finger'd from the deck! Her eyes, her hair, her cheek, her gait, her voice, Is that the King hath won, and hath sent out Should become kings of Naples? O, rejoice That as a waist doth girdle you about, How much more elder art thou than thy looks! You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha! Poor women's faces are their own fault's books. Respeaking earthly thunder. Come away. And humbly thus, with halters on their necks, Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? MMCCCLXXIX - "SECANNOTBESOTH" Suspect still comes where an estate is least. Early and late, debating to and fro Come, leave your tears: a brief farewell: the beast As I suck blood, I will some mercy show. Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Now will I dam up this thy yawning mouth Or any creeping venom'd thing that lives! Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. By something showing a more swelling port Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Such as befits the pleasure of the court? Or sells eternity to get a toy? This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs, Have wrought the easy-melting king like wax. MMCCCLXXX - "YPRAISETOTIEUP" Your cares set up do not pluck my cares down. Poor queen and son, your labour is but lost; Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown. Ah, Warwick! Montague hath breathed his last; I know not where is that Promethean heat Some officers take them away. Good guard Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet The king is full of grace and fair regard. Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: To be more prince, as may be. You are sad. I pray thee, Launce, an if thou seest my boy, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Upon the heavy middle of the night Patroclus, let us feast him to the height. MMCCCLXXXI - "ENVYEVERMOREEN" Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Now, good sweet nurse,--O Lord, why look'st thou sad? Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, You have no children, butchers! if you had, Either consent to pay this sum for me Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ensuing dangers; as by proof, we see Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Except some petty towns of no import: Not better than he, by her own report. MMCCCLXXXII - "LARGEDIFSOMESU" Look in the calendar, and bring me word. And thence retire me to my Milan, where Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Give me some sack; and, sweetheart, lie thou there. Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? If he see aught in you that makes him like, From top of honour to disgrace's feet? Stay but a little, I will come again. Or four and twenty times the pilot's glass Must not be measured by his worth, for then Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Shall I try friends: you shall perceive how you Unto the camp, and profits will accrue. MMCCCLXXXIII - "SPECTOFILLMASK" Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Puts my apparel and my count'nance on, Envied against the people, seeking means Come, go with us; we'll look to that anon: Though you respect not aught your servant doth, Of this most fair occasion, by the which For virtue's office never breaks men's troth. It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Longing for what it had not; nay, the dust Leave off delays, and let us raise the siege. My resolution and my hands I'll trust; A heavy sentence, my most sovereign liege, Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? MMCCCLXXXIV - "DNOTTHYSHOWTHE" Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well. Nor I nor any man that but man is O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell, There's his chamber, his house, his castle, his That stays to bear my letters to my friends, Herein lives wisdom, beauty and increase: You envy my advancement and my friends': Set on there! Never was a war did cease, His insolence draws folly from my lips; O, him she stores, to show what wealth she had Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse. The wager thou hast won; and I will add Here is a captain, let him tell the tale; Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. MMCCCLXXXV - "NTHOUALONEKING" Necessity will make us all forsworn These fifteen years you have been in a dream; Have aught committed that is hardly borne Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. And situation with those dancing chips, Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. Either to die the death or to abjure Keep thou the napkin, and go boast of this: I will not hear her speak; away with her! Never to part with it; and here he stands; Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands. MMCCCLXXXVI - "DOMSOFHEARTSSH" Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: Send for your ring, I will return it home, Only, good master, while we do admire For in my death I murder shameful scorn: High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, End in one purpose, and be all well borne And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Rather than have that savage duke thine heir There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, So should the lines of life that life repair, She'll none o' the count: she'll not match above Here's much to do with hate, but more with love. MMCCCLXXXVII - "OULDSTOWENOLON" O Ratcliff, I have dream'd a fearful dream! Upon the number'd beach? and can we not Levied an army, weening to redeem Do now attend the queen? Since they did plot Speak, fair; but speak fair words, or else be mute: The fountain from the which my current runs, Or an old lion, or a lover's lute. Whether I live or die, be you the sons Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Now, good my lord, lie here and rest awhile. O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! Let frantic Talbot triumph for a while Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. Nobody come? then shall I bleed to death. MMCCCLXXXVIII - "GERMOURNFORMEW" Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is most dear, Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, Rather to wonder at the things you hear More measure of this measure; be not nice. O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Upon the gad? Edmund, how now? What news? Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Nor aught so good but strain'd from that fair use For the base matter to illuminate Or what great danger dwells upon my suit? Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, With their superfluous riots, hear these tears! MMCCCLXXXIX - "HENIAMDEADTHEN" He, being in the vaward, placed behind Even for this let us divided live, None can be call'd deform'd but the unkind: I' the morn; I'll call you at your house: give All length is torture: since the torch is out, My noble girls! Ah, women, women, look, Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. And you shall find me, wretched man, a thing Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, The pangs of barr'd affections, though the king Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. Nor you, Lorenzo; Jessica, nor you. MMCCCXC - "YOUSHALLHEARTH" Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, Ungovern'd youth, to wail it in their age; Shall do and undo as him pleaseth best. Hector would have them fall upon him thus: And tidings do I bring, and lucky joys, Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; He hath not told us of the captain yet: Edward and York; then haply she will weep: And rather choose to hide them in a net Reply not in how many fathoms deep The tale of Tereus; here the leaf's turn'd down Henry of Lancaster, resign thy crown. MMCCCXCI - "ESURLYSULLENBE" Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Send thy brass voice through all these lazy tents; Under this conjuration, speak, my lord; Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Lo, here, the hopeless merchant of this loss, Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Until her husband and my lord's return: Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Like Amazons come tripping after drums, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes By any understanding pate but thine? Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. MMCCCXCII - "LLGIVEWARNINGT" Long since thy husband served me in my wars, Let her who would be rid of him devise Go with your impositions, I am yours If you will take a homely man's advice, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, What dogs are these? Where is the rascal cook? And go indeed, having so good a mean. Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, I would have had thee there, and here again, Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: Think therefore on revenge and cease to weep. MMCCCXCIII - "OTHEWORLDTHATI" Of semblable import,--but he hath waged Thou fond mad man, hear me but speak a word. His love, perceiving how he is enraged, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard With tears as sovereign as the blood of hearts, O me, with what strict patience have I sat, Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Let me have men about me that are fat; Divide your happy England into four; Throw your vile guesses in the devil's teeth, He doth again repeat, and that they swore. And yet not so, for what can we bequeath The Roman legions, all from Gallia drawn, I conjure thee to leave me and be gone. MMCCCXCIV - "AMFLEDFROMTHIS" A distance from her; while her grace sat down My quarrel and this English queen's are one. For quick accumulation of renown, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. Faith, sir, you need not fear. When we were boys, Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop March all one way and be no more opposed To see this vaulted arch, and the rich crop How covert matters may be best disclosed, If you do fight in safeguard of your wives, So is it in the music of men's lives. MMCCCXCV - "VILEWORLDWITHV" Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: In supplication nod: and my young boy Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Whose want, and whose delay, is strew'd with sweets, Or nourish'd him as I did with my blood, Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. Leap in with me into this angry flood, Do me the favour to dilate at full We shall be charged again. Whiles we have struck, I think he thinks upon the savage bull. The noisome weeds, which without profit suck His grace is at Marseilles; to which place Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. MMCCCXCVI - "ILESTWORMSTODW" It is to be all made of sighs and tears; Like Amazons come tripping after drums, Environed with all these hideous fears? Serving of becks and jutting-out of bums! There's magic in thy majesty, which has With whom my soul is any jot at odds Of these thy compounds on such creatures as Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods May then make all the claim that Arthur did. She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. Than in my greatness covet to be hid, One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst. What is your quarrel? how began it first? MMCCCXCVII - "ELLNAYIFYOUREA" Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, Let me wipe off this honourable dew, Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, And if he hear thee, thou wilt anger him. You have great reason to do Richard right; If thou, that bid'st me be content, wert grim, Fellows' counsels and your own; and good night. Your son's my father's friend; he takes his part. O masters, if I were disposed to stir Upon a tawny front: his captain's heart, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Ere I could make thee open thy white hand And equity exiled your highness' land. MMCCCXCVIII - "DTHISLINEREMEM" Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; The party 'gainst the which he doth contrive Had not an ear to hear my true time broke. Infected as her life, she would not live Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains Live you the marble-breasted tyrant still; I pledge your Grace; and if you knew what pains No honourable trust. I have done ill; Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Most true it is that I have look'd on truth England, impatient of your just demands, Make an extent upon his house and lands. MMCCCXCIX - "BERNOTTHEHANDT" Brother, take you my land, I'll take my chance. Each way and move. I take my leave of you: Reignier, her father, to the king of France Not I, my lord, unless I did bleed too. O mistress, mistress, shift and save yourself! That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief: That comes to hazard for my worthless self. Honest plain words best pierce the ear of grief; England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. He can command, lets it straight feel the spur; As the indifferent children of the earth. Never so little show of love to her, Deliver them, and your appeal to us That like a football you do spurn me thus? MMCD - "HATWRITITFORIL" Hath not the ring upon it; it is gone. And forced to live in Scotland a forlorn; That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, Which might be felt; that we, the poorer born, Remuneration for the thing it was; It shall as level to your judgment pierce There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas In war was never lion raged more fierce, Thinking that I mean him, but therein suits For I can here disarm thee with this stick Over the boots? nay, give me not the boots. Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick I made unto the noise; when soon I heard Look in the calendar, and bring me word. MMCDI - "OVEYOUSOTHATII" Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Even for this let us divided live, You'll give me leave to spare, when you shall find Or I shall break that merry sconce of yours Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Or by his foe surprised at unawares: Than seek a dispensation for his oath, His ears up-prick'd; his braided hanging mane As full of grief as age; wretched in both. This is the very coinage of your brain. If you do keep your promises in love I think there are, sir; I heard them talked of. MMCDII - "NYOURSWEETTHOU" Nay, there is some comfort in the news, some Young lords, beware! and should the empress know Of one or both of us the time is come. Unheard. Lychorida!--Lucina, O Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. Shall lose the royalty of England's throne. Whither away, or where is thy abode? Enough to purchase what you have made known. Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Take it, and do't; and leave me for this time. That you affect; and so must you resolve, Ha, ha! how vilely doth this cynic rhyme! Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan Unless he live until he be a man. MMCDIII - "GHTSWOULDBEFOR" Good madam, what's the matter with my lord? Hath now himself met with the fall of leaf: Their sacred wills be done! Go, get aboard; So vile a thing as Caesar! But, O grief, What, are ye daunted now? now will ye stoop? Of present dues: the future comes apace: Unfurnish'd of her well-beseeming troop? Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace. Doth any name particular belong Because she will admit no kind of suit, Else had she with her father rang'd along. From Clifford's and Northumberland's pursuit: O no, good Kate; neither art thou the worse Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. MMCDIV - "GOTIFTHINKINGO" Gods, gods! 'tis strange that from their cold'st neglect One friend to take his fortune by the arm, To show me worthy of thy sweet respect: If that be all, masters, I hear no harm. For thou art fortunate in all thy deeds. To dispossess that child which is not his? Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, If there be nothing new, but that which is Nor what is mine shall never do thee good: Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. I bade her, if her fortunes ever stood Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest. MMCDV - "NMETHENSHOULDM" Never went with his forces into France My arms such eel-skins stuff'd, my face so thin Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: To keep your great pretences veil'd till when He fighteth as one weary of his life. Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Nature that made thee, with herself at strife, Sweet York, begin: and if thy claim be good, His hand, that yet remains upon her breast,-- O, I could wish this tavern were my drum! Unquestion'd welcome and undoubted blest. Lend me your knees, and all my life to come Did not attend him as we rode? I think Makes me with heavy nothing faint and shrink. MMCDVI - "AKEYOUWOEOIFIS" Alack, for lesser knowledge! how accursed Killing in relapse of mortality. Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Yet let her be a principality, Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, Unto my mother's prayers I bend my knee. Well didst thou, Richard, to suppress thy voice; On him I lay what you would lay on me, Enough to stifle such a villain up. O foul dishonour to my household's grave! I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. For such things in a false disloyal knave If this division chance, ne'er stood between, So near the cradle of the fairy queen? MMCDVII - "AYYOULOOKUPONT" As far as land will let me, by your side. You came not of one mother then, it seems. You understand me- over and beside Opening on Neptune with fair blessed beams, Upon the next occasion that we meet, Like peasant foot-boys do they keep the walls O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit O, this is full of pity! Sir, it calls, Know'st thou not any whom corrupting gold Upward of twenty years, and have been blest Play with your fancies, and in them behold Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast, Now, as I can remember, by my troth, That I have been thus pleasant with you both. MMCDVIII - "HISVERSEWHENIP" How now, fair lords! What fare? what news abroad? If he be less, he's nothing; but he's more, So shall my virtue be his vice's bawd; Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? England ne'er had a king until his time. Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Where Reignier sooner will receive than give. How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, Even for this let us divided live, Never presented!--O, a root,--dear thanks!-- In my opinion yet thou seest not well. Proud and ambitious tribune, canst thou tell? MMCDIX - "ERHAPSCOMPOUND" Even so void is your false heart of truth. Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; His rudeness so with his authorized youth And answer me declined, sword against sword, Puppet? why so? ay, that way goes the game. Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Cloten, thou double villain, be thy name, O hateful hands, to tear such loving words! Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse Pray thee, peace. Pay her the debt you owe her, O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Upon the heels of my presentment, sir. Now take upon me, in the name of Time, Drove back again unto my native clime? MMCDX - "EDAMWITHCLAYDO" Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Do not deny. Beshrew his soul for me, Are now become enamour'd on his grave. My faculties nor person, yet will be Whereof we have record, trial did draw I grant I am a woman; but withal Too much the rein: the strongest oaths are straw Henry the Eighth, life, honour, name and all Canst thou so daff me? Thou hast kill'd my child: Let's choose executors and talk of wills: Ay me, detested! how am I beguiled! Yea, distaff-women manage rusty bills Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat O, very well; I have perus'd the note. MMCDXI - "NOTSOMUCHASMYP" Neither disturbed with the effect of wine, On his head, bearing a long white wand, as There is a prohibition so divine She throws forth Tarquin's name; 'He, he,' she says, O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! May the two latter darken and expend; Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; Can any way speak in his just commend; Hear from me still, and never of me aught Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, Straight let us seek, or straight we shall be sought; Moved with remorse of these outrageous broils, Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins, Perchance you think too much of so much pains? MMCDXII - "OORNAMEREHEARS" O, know he is the bridle of your will. Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill: No, my good lords, it is not that offends; And none your foes but such as shall pretend My sister may receive it much more worse, Either of you to be the other's end. Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Else would I very shortly see thee there. He like a thievish dog creeps sadly thence; Either be patient, and entreat me fair, And 'gainst myself a lawful plea commence: Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Seditious to his grace and to the state. MMCDXIII - "EBUTLETYOURLOV" Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Believe me, lord, I think he cannot choose. Upon my target three fair-shining suns. Though my gross blood be stain'd with this abuse, Let mine own judgment pattern out my death, Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath You'll not be perjured, 'tis a hateful thing; Obey the bride, you that attend on her; Under your good correction, I have seen, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Lord Warwick, on thy shoulder will I lean; O, that record could with a backward look, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. MMCDXIV - "EEVENWITHMYLIF" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Never to speak of this that you have seen. Who dies, that bears not one spurn to their graves I have no ears to his request. The queen The fear of God, and not with drunken knaves. Here is the man, this Moor, whom now, it seems, My soul doth tell my body that he may You laugh when boys or women tell their dreams; Like an unseasonable stormy day, It is most true; true, I have married her: For you shall hop without my custom, sir. MMCDXV - "EDECAYLESTTHEW" Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast: Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Came here to make us merry! and thou hast And to your quick-conceiving discontents You know my mind, I'll fight no more 'gainst Troy. Look, how thy wounds do bleed at many vents! Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Sorrow were ever razed and testy wrath That makes him close his eyes? I'll open them. The Turk, that two and fifty kingdoms hath, Had twenty years been made. This is a stem England did never owe so sweet a hope, Winchester goose, I cry, a rope! a rope! MMCDXVI - "ISEWORLDSHOULD" If they surcease to be that should survive. Strike all that look upon with marvel. Come, Even for this let us divided live, With such a kind of love as might become Of brothers' temper, do receive you in Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin Doth much excuse the appertaining rage Shall, for that vast of night that they may work, He then that is not furnish'd in this sort Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? Let fair humanity abhor the deed Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. MMCDXVII - "LOOKINTOYOURMO" Like powder in a skitless soldier's flask, O rash false heat, wrapp'd in repentant cold, On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold I have a king's oath to the contrary. Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, Therefore it behoves men to be wary. O, that thou wouldst as well afford a grave You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. Once in a month recount what thou hast been, Under these hard conditions as this time Reward to him that brings the traitor in? May be put from her by society: O cruel, irreligious piety! MMCDXVIII - "ANANDMOCKYOUWI" Away, for your relief! and we will live Nor do I as an enemy to peace A stirring dwarf we do allowance give Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Discover how, and thou shalt find me just. Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse One sudden foil shall never breed distrust. Come then, and take the last warmth of my lips. Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold Yea, this solidity and compound mass, O'erworn, despised, rheumatic and cold, Upon the winds command, bind them in brass, Which if we find outweighs ability, I thank my God for my humility. MMCDXIX - "THMEAFTERIAMGO" Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Hast thou so crack'd and splitted my poor tongue Made me collect these dangers in the duke. Each jealous of the other, as the stung And when I rear my hand, do you the like, Fair Beatrice, I thank you for your pains. The riches of it: do his bidding; strike Endue you with the people's voice: remains Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, If I depart from thee, I cannot live; And thou usurp'st my father's right and mine. Mine innocency and Saint George to thrive! Good worts! good cabbage. Slender, I broke your O, tell me, did you see Aaron the Moor? MMCDXX - "NEOLESTTHEWORL" Not paying me a welcome. Trust me, sweet, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Of his profession, that his good receipt Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. Excited me to treason: their dear loss, So be my grave my peace as here I give The only soil of his fair virtue's gloss, Thou art the grave where buried love doth live, His venom tooth will rankle to the death: Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Which seem to move and wanton with her breath Or as the wardrobe which the robe doth hide, Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Lady, will you walk about with your friend? MMCDXXI - "DSHOULDTASKYOU" Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Send thee by me, their tribune and their trust, Have we not lost most part of all the towns, One sudden foil shall never breed distrust. Upon a homely object Love can wink. Like or find fault; do as your pleasures are: Did not attend him as we rode? I think The prince my brother hath outgrown me far. As likely to be blest in peace and war; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, King Cerberus; and let the welkin roar. You may as well forbid the mountain pines One word, sir: our watch, sir, have indeed Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. MMCDXXII - "TORECITEWHATME" To his confine; and of the truth herein O, she is rich in beauty, only poor, Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Exposing what is mortal and unsure Come, come, we fear the worst; all shall be well. If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim: Than those she placeth highest! So, farewell. Err'd in this point which now you censure him, With oaths of love, at last, if promise last, Hath drawn him from his own determined aid, And so have I a noble father lost; The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid Measure my strangeness with my unripe years: Environed with all these hideous fears? MMCDXXIII - "RITLIVEDINMETH" Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem In that each of you have forsworn his book, To stubborn critics, apt, without a theme, Let pity not be believ'd!' There she shook Imprison'd thou didst painfully remain Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Durst not presume to look once in the face. I take it, by all voices, that forthwith Nor shall this peace sleep with her: but as when My swift command, though I with death and with Establish him in his true sense again, To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir. Have stood against the world; now lies he there. MMCDXXIV - "ATYOUSHOULDLOV" Against the churches; though the yesty waves They'll be in fresher robes, or they will pluck You heedless joltheads and unmanner'd slaves! Of as great size. Ween you of better luck, Upon so soft a subject as myself! Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; He will be found like Brutus, like himself. Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Under that bond that him as fast doth bind. Look up a-height. The shrill-gorg'd lark so far Doth part his function and is partly blind, Like or find fault; do as your pleasures are: Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? MMCDXXV - "EAFTERMYDEATHD" Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive And leave us to our free election. From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: Tell me precisely of what complexion. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. More villain thou. Well, push him out of doors; You find him like a soldier: do not take Dare ye come forth and meet us in the field? Each cheek a river running from a fount And the device he bears upon his shield To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. Hadst thou been kill'd when first thou didst presume, Doth hurry from the fatal cannon's womb. MMCDXXVI - "EARLOVEFORGETM" Even or odd, of all days in the year, And what obscured in this fair volume lies Rather to wonder at the things you hear Let him that makes but trifles of his eyes Or any groat I hoarded to my use, Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, O, had they in that darksome prison died! Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Giving my verdict on the white rose side. Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: That from pay mutest conscience to my tongue My love shall in my verse ever live young. MMCDXXVII - "EQUITEFORYOUIN" Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Quitting thee thereby of ten thousand shames, Under your hands and seals: therefore, go on: I would we had a thousand Roman dames Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Else shall you not have any hand at all For treason is but trusted like the fox, O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Yet what of thee thy poet doth invent O'erworn, despised, rheumatic and cold, Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. I am no breeching scholar in the schools, Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. MMCDXXVIII - "MECANNOTHINGWO" My part is youth, and beats these from the stage: Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Calm thee, and bear the faults of Titus' age, As the poor frighted deer, that stands at gaze, Now keep your holy word: go meet the French, Nor construe any further my neglect, O' the toe like a parish-top. What, wench! Thou art a fellow of a good respect; Had you not been their father, these white flakes I'll strive, with troubled thoughts, to take a nap, Nay, stay; lets hear the orisons he makes. Go thou with him; and when it is thy hap With good old folks and let them tell thee tales Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales. MMCDXXIX - "RTHYPROVEUNLES" Reserve their character with golden quill That westward rooteth from the city's side, Her stand she takes upon a steep-up hill: You understand me- over and beside Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, On late offenders, that he now doth lack Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Under whose brim the gaudy sun would peep; Nature dispenses with the deed so far Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep. Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. She carry armour as she hath begun. MMCDXXX - "SYOUWOULDDEVIS" Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Yes, my lord, yes; he at Philippi kept O, yes, my lord, but very idle words; Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, Who comes so fast in silence of the night? O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, Upon thy side against myself I'll fight, Lo, by thy side where Rape and Murder stands; Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- Dry up in her the organs of increase; Even like a man new haled from the rack, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, If I to-day die not with Frenchmen's rage, Some beauty peep'd through lattice of sear'd age. MMCDXXXI - "ESOMEVIRTUOUSL" Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Sir Valentine, your father's in good health: Of that I shall have also cause to speak, My lord, fair Helen told me of their stealth, Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? In this point charge him home, that he affects Remove these thoughts from you: the which before That one might see those far-off eyes look sad. Unbuckling helms, fisting each other's throat, On purpose laid to make the taker mad; Unless the fear of death doth make me dote, Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear Let him be brought into the orchard here. MMCDXXXII - "IETODOMOREFORM" If you dare fight to-day, come to the field; Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. To shake the head, relent, and sigh, and yield Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Do a fair message to his kingly ears? O, look, sir, look, sir! here is more of us: Madam, you wrong the king's love with these fears: Of that and all the progress, more or less, Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Envy your great deservings and good name, For what I will, I will, and there an end. O, she that hath a heart of that fine frame Return those duties back as are right fit, Make something nothing by augmenting it. MMCDXXXIII - "ETHANMINEOWNDE" Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. There's five to one; besides, they all are fresh. Holds disputation with each thing she views, And from her fair and unpolluted flesh No noise, but silence and eternal sleep: May yet ere night yield both my life and them I can call spirits from the vasty deep. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,-- While it doth study to have what it would No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Deep woes roll forward like a gentle flood, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MMCDXXXIV - "SERTANDHANGMOR" Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods! That it is meet so few should fetch the prince. And Brutus is an honourable man. Name her not now, sir; she's a deadly theme. Do no more offices of life to't than Here in Verona, ladies of esteem, Ah, foul shrewd news! beshrew thy very heart! Nor none so bad, but it may well be told. Give me mine own again; 'twere no good part Making the wind my post-horse, still unfold Of disobedient opposition Remember so weak a composition. MMCDXXXV - "EPRAISEUPONDEC" England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Pardon me, God, I knew not what I did! Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; And oftentimes have purposed to forbid In limited professions. Rascal thieves, So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Upon his party: he, mistrusting them, Pray God my news be worth a welcome, lord. Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents, Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, Dies in the zeal of that which it presents: Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Come, mistress, you must tell's another tale. MMCDXXXVI - "EASEDITHANNIGG" Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Affliction till it do cry out itself Since I have your good leave to go away, Else would he never so demean himself. Do summon us to part and bid good night. In any breast of strong authority, To honour Helen and to be her knight! Holds from all soldiers chief majority And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings. Nothing more dear to me. You are abused No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings If friend or foe, let him be gently used. Graze on my lips; and if those hills be dry, Give Richard leave to live till Richard die? MMCDXXXVII - "ARDTRUTHWOULDW" Although they wear their faces to the bent Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Dear lord, go you and greet him in his tent: Then with her windy sighs and golden hairs Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy gift, The third possessor; ay, he was the third-- Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift Why, love forswore me in my mother's womb: Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Lucretia's glove, wherein her needle sticks: Doing the execution and the act What is the course and drift of your compact? MMCDXXXVIII - "ILLINGLYIMPART" In the end of autumn turned to the rams, Lo, at this tomb my tributary tears Lo, whilst I waited on my tender lambs, If I could shake off but one seven years No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Giving more light than heat, extinct in both Let us pursue him ere the writs go forth. You would for paradise break faith, and troth; Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; Men's liking: and yet he would not swear; praised Peace, villain, peace!'--even thus he rates And my estate deserves an heir more raised Remove these thoughts from you: the which before To a loud trumpet and a point of war? MMCDXXXIX - "OLESTYOURTRUEL" One that rejoices in the common wreck, Lest parties, as he is beloved, break out, Each in his office ready at thy beck. So I would you did; then 'twere past all doubt The fountain from the which my current runs, Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Until her husband and my lord's return: Retain that dear perfection which he owes Then with her windy sighs and golden hairs Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Upon his face an ocean of salt tears, Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Lord bishop, set the crown upon his head. MMCDXL - "OVEMAYSEEMFALS" Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; My wife, her sister, and a rabble more And, in good time, here the lieutenant comes. Yea, curse his better angel from his side, She shall be habited as it becomes Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Made glory base and sovereignty a slave, Fled this way, sir. When by no means he could- And gives them what he will, not what they crave. Lend me thy cloak, Sir Thomas. Brothers both, Study to break it and not break my troth. MMCDXLI - "EINTHISTHATYOU" Extremity of griefs would make men mad; In summer's drought I'll drop upon thee still; Never bestrid a horse, save one that had Teach me to curse him that thou taught'st this ill! Have banged the youth into dumbness. This was I stood upon the hatches in the storm, She's a good creature, and, sweet lady, does Together with that fair and warlike form How, sir! are you in earnest then, my lord? And rotten times that you shall look upon That lie shall lie so heavy on my sword, You must eat men. Yet thanks I must you con Of six preceding ancestors, that gem, Unless my hand and strength could equal them. MMCDXLII - "FORLOVESPEAKWE" For him that brought it. Wretched though I seem, On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Love, lend me wings to make my purpose swift, O good old man, how well in thee appears Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Environed with all these hideous fears? See how the surly Warwick mans the wall! Prescribe to other as each other's leech. Exposing what is mortal and unsure And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure Who, falling in the flaws of her own youth, Even so void is your false heart of truth. MMCDXLIII - "LLOFMEUNTRUEMY" Leaves Tarsus and again embarks. He swears Love can transpose to form and dignity: Or by his foe surprised at unawares: From him that fled some strange indignity, My best endeavours shall be done herein. Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Upon the love you bear me, get you in. Not possible; for who shall bear your part The Prince of Wales from such a field as this, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Expecting in return twenty for one? My manors, rents, revenues I forego; You shake, my lord, at something: will you go? MMCDXLIV - "NAMEBEBURIEDWH" No, no; when Fortune means to men most good, And though thou now confess thou didst but jest, My figured goblets for a dish of wood, Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Be not so rash; take ransom, let him live. Ere I could make thee open thy white hand But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive, Upon my head and all this famous land. Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! I would the college of the cardinals Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Digest this letter of the cardinal's? Which underneath thy black all-hiding cloak Had not an ear to hear my true time broke. MMCDXLV - "EREMYBODYISAND" Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Each one demand an answer to his part Made me acquainted with a weighty cause Your son, my lord, has paid a soldier's debt: But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? Or, if not so, until the sun be set. Dark night, that from the eye his function takes, Yet indirection thereby grows direct, I thank you, sir; and pray you tell me this: Such harmless creatures have a true respect And seal the bargain with a holy kiss. Nothing can come of nothing. Speak again. During the time Edward the Third did reign. MMCDXLVI - "LIVENOMORETOSH" Let him not know't, and he's not robb'd at all. I spake unto this crown as having sense, Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, Once touch my shoulder. Great the slaughter is My love admits no qualifying dross; Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods Each changing place with that which goes before, This and my food are equals; there's no odds: One of her women lawyer to me, for Some god direct my judgment! Let me see; He see me, you shall see him nod at me. MMCDXLVII - "AMENORMENORYOU" At such who, not born fair, no beauty lack, More than with ruthless waves, with sands and rocks. Even like a man new haled from the rack, No; let him die, in that he is a fox, O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid Misthink the king and not be satisfied! Each present lord began to promise aid, Nor dare I question with my jealous thought O hard-believing love, how strange it seems Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. You laugh when boys or women tell their dreams; Of his oath-breaking; which he mended thus, Unless by robbing of your friends and us. MMCDXLVIII - "FORIAMSHAMEDBY" For this is from the present--how you take O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. In courtly company or at my beads, Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth Made mine eyes water; but more merry tears Stew'd in his haste, half breathless, panting forth He has my heart yet; and shall have my prayers And in thy best consideration check Making both it unable for itself, Each in his office ready at thy beck. Do shameful execution on herself. But follows it, my lord, to bring me down You shall like diamonds sit about his crown. MMCDXLIX - "THATWHICHIBRIN" That youth is surely in their company. He was a gentleman on whom I built And shall, or him we will accompany. To slay thy brother Abel, if thou wilt. Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell. He sends this bloody napkin. Are you he? I pray thee, tell me then that he is well. Commit them to the fortune of the sea. How often have I told you 'twould be thus! I think this upstart is old Talbot's ghost, By this time, had the king permitted us, Receiving them from such a worthless post. Is Clarence dead? the order was reversed. Nay, let it rest where it began at first. MMCDL - "GFORTHANDSOSHO" Good God! why should they mock poor fellows thus? For what offence have I this fortnight been O, look, sir, look, sir! here is more of us: Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Took her own way. The manner of their deaths? He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, And leave him all; life, living, all is Death's. Now thinks he that her husband's shallow tongue,-- Dispatch! The room where they supp'd is too hot; Some to the common pulpits, and cry out O Perdita, what have we twain forgot! So soon as you arrive, shall clear that doubt. Henry the Fifth: whiles they each other cross, O insupportable and touching loss! MMCDLI - "ULDYOUTOLOVETH" Upon the instant that she was accused, Look ye draw home enough, and 'tis there straight. Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused Yes, and will nobly him remunerate. O noble prince, I can discover all Unless you can find sport in their intents, To bid the father wipe his eyes withal, Of dire combustion and confused events Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Or swell my thoughts to any strain of pride; Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Thy noble brother Titus and his sons, He has no children. All my pretty ones? MMCDLII - "INGSNOTHINGWOR" Inferring arguments of mighty force. No sooner had they told this hellish tale, Got with much ease. Now merrily to horse: Sirrah, call in my sons to be my bail; Never did faithful subject more rejoice One fit to bandy with thy lawless sons, Therefore, go speak: the duke will hear thy voice: He has no children. All my pretty ones? I will both hear and grant you your requests. Now, as I live, I will. My nobler friends, Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; With 'Thanks, my countrymen, my loving friends;' Or if there were, it not belongs to you. Roses of shadow, since his rose is true? MMCDLIII - "THTHATTIMEOFYE" To make a stale of me amongst these mates? How these things came about. So shall you hear Took up a beggar's issue at my gates, Hold little faith, though thou hast too much fear. A special party, have, by common voice, That rage in savage sensuality. To be new-varnish'd! Well, but to my choice: In thy despite shall 'scape mortality. Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Of his own body he was ill, and gave Four lagging winters and four wanton springs Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace. Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MMCDLIV - "ARTHOUMAYSTINM" Any beginning to this peevish odds; Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. Take from my heart all thankfulness! The gods Hear from me still, and never of me aught On whom frown'st thou that I do fawn upon? Upon my knee I beg, go not to arms More said? he is good and fair. Is Sir John As if the boy should use like loving charms; Yet here she is allow'd her virgin rites, Sirs, take away the duke, and guard him sure. That grew the more by reaping: his delights In iron walls they deem'd me not secure; Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Madam, my lord is gone, for ever gone. MMCDLV - "EBEHOLDWHENYEL" Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Before the golden tresses of the dead, Every man shift for all the rest, and He took my father grossly, full of bread, O lady, weep no more, lest I give cause Laid to thy answer: but the last,--O lords, Did I redeem; a wreck past hope he was: With ruder terms, such as my wit affords How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Your Highness knows, comes to no further use Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet. MMCDLVI - "LOWLEAVESORNON" Let's see for means: O mischief, thou art swift Of soft petitions, pity and remorse, Whom best I love I cross; to make my gift, Let me persuade you take a better course. Else you may be marvellously mistook. And chastise with the valour of my tongue Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Each jealous of the other, as the stung Sleeping or waking must I still prevail, Only, in lieu thereof, dispatch me hence. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence O Tamora, be call'd a gentle queen, Never to speak of this that you have seen. MMCDLVII - "EORFEWDOHANGUP" Else shall you not have any hand at all Of this great sport together, as you guess? Remember whom you are to cope withal; Farewell, sweet playfellow: pray thou for us; Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Whose heads stood in their breasts? which now we find Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? O cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me blind, Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws Answer'd neglectingly I know not what, Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Grace, I hope: that were a trick indeed! but Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou Perish the man whose mind is backward now! MMCDLVIII - "ONTHOSEBOUGHSW" Out of my way, unless he bid 'em; but Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Thus, what with the war, what with the sweat, what Have utter'd truth: which if you seek to prove, One that rejoices in the common wreck, She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, Each in his office ready at thy beck. Besides, his soul's fair temple is defaced; Or pay you with unthankfulness in thought, Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Give me your favour: my dull brain was wrought Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. So, by my former lecture and advice, What says Andronicus to this device? MMCDLIX - "HICHSHAKEAGAIN" He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, In saying so, you shall but say the truth. Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back: His rudeness so with his authorized youth So do not I: go, coward as thou art. Hell only danceth at so harsh a chime. As closely to conceal what we impart: Keep me in patience, and with ripen'd time Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; And bloody England into England gone, Good madam, what's the matter with my lord? And now forthwith shall articles be drawn Is marching hitherward in proud array, Now which way shall she turn? what shall she say? MMCDLX - "STTHECOLDBARER" Swarths: the best persuaded of himself, so The cedar stoops not to the base shrub's foot, Ten thousand harms, more than the ills I know, How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Conscience is but a word that cowards use, Or bring him off: fate, hear me what I say! Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, Death is the fairest cover for her shame Be emptied to redeem a traitor home? And to the strict'st decrees I'll write my name. Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. MMCDLXI - "UINDCHOIRSWHER" Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. I am the last of noble Edward's sons, Now can I break my fast, dine, sup and sleep, Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? Command an argosy to stem the waves. Her tears will pierce into a marble heart; Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves, I hold it fit that we shake hands and part; Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid Such war of white and red within her cheeks! When he is earth'd, hath here almost persuade,-- Hector, in view of Trojans and of Greeks, Even or odd, of all days in the year, Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? MMCDLXII - "ELATETHESWEETB" Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Lord Timon will be left a naked gull, And notwithstanding all her sudden quips, The woods are ruthless, dreadful, deaf, and dull; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. They bleed on both sides. How is it, my lord? Here comes a man; let's stay till he be past. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; So under his insulting falchion lies Where these two Christian armies might combine Envy the great nor do the low despise. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign That souls of animals infuse themselves Be mad and merry, or go hang yourselves. MMCDLXIII - "IRDSSANGINMETH" I'll make you quiet. What, cheerly, my hearts! Revenge it, as you love your mother's life, Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, So fly I from her that would be my wife. She's a good creature, and, sweet lady, does And to the painted banquet bids my heart; Nor it nor no remembrance what it was: Give me mine own again; 'twere no good part I lov'd her most, and thought to set my rest Not to be pardon'd, am content withal. My oath, and my profession. I protest- Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, Husband, if thou be so shrewd of thy tongue. MMCDLXIV - "OUSEESTTHETWIL" Of that report which I so oft have heard. Upon my daughter's head! Tell me, mine own. Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word, Each man apart, all single and alone, Environed with a wilderness of sea, Surprise me to the very brink of tears: To win thy after-love I pardon thee. That, like a jewel, has hung twenty years Here at my house and at my proper cost. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Take dust, like Mistress Mall's picture? why dost What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, If I do fail in fortune of my choice, Lies my consent and fair according voice. MMCDLXV - "IGHTOFSUCHDAYA" If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trash Great grief grieves most at that would do it good; Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash, To one so meek, that mine own servant should Or nicely charge your understanding soul For Mowbray and myself are like two men Smile with an austere regard of control,-- Under the tide: but now I breathe again Command my eldest son, nay, all my sons, How I have thought of this and of these times, Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? And out of question so it is sometimes, Yet did repent me, after more advice; And for his safety there I'll best devise. MMCDLXVI - "SAFTERSUNSETFA" Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote: Affection? Pooh! You speak like a green girl, For he went sickly forth: and take good note The intertissued robe of gold and pearl, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Remembers me of all his gracious parts, So foul and fair a day I have not seen. Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Slow in pursuit, but match'd in mouth like bells, Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, That you shall say my cunning drift excels. From him that fled some strange indignity, And still enjoy thy regal dignity. MMCDLXVII - "DETHINTHEWESTW" Do't, knight: I'll write thee a challenge: or I'll Even so void is your false heart of truth. That we may hew his limbs, and on a pile Have vanquish'd the resistance of her youth, I do repent it from my very soul. Not my deserts, but what I will deserve: The Duke of Suffolk, William de la Pole. He had the wit which I can well observe Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Who in this dull and long-continued truce Else you may be marvellously mistook. Some necessaries that I needs must use, Thou think'st 'tis much that this contentious storm Which, to preserve mine honour, I'll perform. MMCDLXVIII - "HICHBYANDBYBLA" Having full scarce six thousand in his troop. If ever man were moved with woman moans, Compassion on the king commands me stoop; His form and cause conjoin'd, preaching to stones, But, Titus, I have touched thee to the quick, Yet once again, to make us public sport, And let thy misty vapours march so thick, Not portable, lie under this report: Doth too too oft betake him to retire, But the free comfort which from thence he hears, You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre, Be singly counterpoised. At sixteen years, Let grief and sorrow still embrace his heart And venture madly on a desperate mart. MMCDLXIX - "CKNIGHTDOTHTAK" Comfort, my liege; why looks your grace so pale? King Richard might create a perfect guess No vast obscurity or misty vale, If case some one of you would fly from us, Great traveller, and wild Half-can that stabbed He that helps him take all my outward worth. Ten times more gentle than her father's crabbed, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Of which there is not one, I dare avow, Think you I can a resolution fetch Hang'd in the frowning wrinkle of her brow! The contract you pretend with that base wretch, And they have served me to effectless use: Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? MMCDLXX - "EAWAYDEATHSSEC" Ere you can take due orders for a priest: And how unwillingly I left the ring, What, all in motion? Henceforth be no feast, And all those beauties whereof now he's king Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: About him, fairies; sing a scornful rhyme; Though more to know could not be more to trust, Her and her fortunes: none would look on her, She thought he blush'd, as knowing Tarquin's lust, Show'd like a mine. Their dwarfish pages were Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Consent to pay thee that I never had! MMCDLXXI - "ONDSELFTHATSEA" One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Nothing is good, I see, without respect: Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set Lo, at this tomb my tributary tears For that my sovereign liege was in my debt The aloes of all forces, shocks, and fears. Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? Thou but offend'st thy lungs to speak so loud: So says the bond: doth it not, noble judge? England, impatient of your just demands, As they had seen me with these hangman's hands. MMCDLXXII - "LSUPALLINRESTI" Lysander if you live, good sir, awake. Subject and servile to all discontents, Upon my party, I'ld revolt to make Piercing the night's dull ear, and from the tents And for your rapier most especially, Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Labour and effect one thing specially. I will both hear and grant you your requests. Not for the world: why, man, she is mine own, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Sit, worthy friends: my lord is often thus, Thou canst not speak of that thou dost not feel: I warrant thee, my man's as true as steel. MMCDLXXIII - "NMETHOUSEESTTH" Narcissus so himself himself forsook, My lords, I thank you both for your good wills; Else you may be marvellously mistook. That some would sing, some other in their bills Hast here cut off my lord. To write and read Of this hard world, my ragged prison walls, Unto the commons whom thou hast misled; Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Endue you with the people's voice: remains So much I challenge that I may profess To an unsettled fancy cure thy brains, The rather by these arguments of fear, Here lies the east: doth not the day break here? MMCDLXXIV - "EGLOWINGOFSUCH" Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Gloucester, see here the tainture of thy nest. Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Or on Diana's altar to protest Why then for Venus' sake, give me a kiss, I am not in the giving vein to-day. Now, gods that we adore, whereof comes this? Give guess how near to day. Lucius, I say! Of dear import, and the neglecting it For which the heavens, taking angry note, So many guests invite as here are writ. Unbuckling helms, fisting each other's throat, Conceives by idleness and nothing teems How far that little candle throws his beams! MMCDLXXV - "FIRETHATONTHEA" For this they have been thoughtful to invest In such a time as this it is not meet Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Truly to speak, and with no addition, His glassy essence, like an angry ape, And say you do't by our permission; Thou and thy faction shall repent this rape. Omitting the sweet benefit of time Now crack thy lungs, and split thy brazen pipe: The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, His head unmellow'd, but his judgment ripe; Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. A narrow lane, an old man, and two boys. MMCDLXXVI - "SHESOFHISYOUTH" So many guests invite as here are writ. Hang over thee, as, sure, it shortly will; Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Sleeping and waking, O, defend me still! Of this most fair occasion, by the which From the rich Jew, a special deed of gift, He is gone happy, and has left me rich: I have a mind presages me such thrift, Sayest thou so, old Jack? go thy ways; I'll make You do unbend your noble strength, to think O, let me teach thee! for my father's sake, Under love's heavy burden do I sink. That his own hand may strike his honour down How! wear the garland! dost thou mean the crown? MMCDLXXVII - "DOTHLIEASTHEDE" Doth much excuse the appertaining rage Of your best graces in your mind; the which The choice and master spirits of this age. He is gone happy, and has left me rich: Let them be welcome then: we are prepared. I know it well, my Lord; and, sure, the match Esteem him as a lamb, being compared And have is have, however men do catch: Speak, citizens, for England; who's your king? The pin-buttock, the quatch-buttock, the brawn Have other some: why, 'tis a happy thing Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Dissemble not your hatred, swear your love. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMCDLXXVIII - "ATHBEDWHEREONI" As he controll'd the war; but one of these-- To his dog-hearted daughters- these things sting He will the rather do it when he sees But she, sound sleeping, fearing no such thing, Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set Do smilingly revolt; and who resist When Collatine unwisely did not let How can she be with him? When was she missed? Excepting one, I would he were the best Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Or I could make a prologue to my brains, Now, France, thy glory droopeth to the dust. Is almost choked by unresisted lust. MMCDLXXIX - "TMUSTEXPIRECON" Than those she placeth highest! So, farewell. My chaplain to no creature living, but Unready! ay, and glad we 'scaped so well. Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What! Therefore my verse to constancy confined, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. eXpect him here: when he shall come and find Pales in the flood with men, with wives and boys, I do beseech thy greatness, give him blows Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Come, he hath hid himself among these trees, One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. Not wind? it shall, it must; you see it doth. MMCDLXXX - "SUMEDWITHTHATW" She is not bred so dull but she can learn; Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. More thirst for drink than she for this good turn. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Duke of Anjou and Maine, yet is he poor, We may of their encounter frankly judge In iron walls they deem'd me not secure; The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge He will recover straight: when he is gone, These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. Ay, but the doors be lock'd and keys kept safe, The demi-Atlas of this earth, the arm Why, 'tis this naming of him does him harm. MMCDLXXXI - "HICHITWASNOURI" Here, stand behind this bulk; straight will he come: I am a lamb: but if you brave the Moor, Collected choicely, from each county some, Have done, for more I hardly can endure. In kissing, do you render or receive? To me she's married, not unto my clothes. When nights are longest there: I'll take my leave. As doth a ruler with unlawful oaths; Sweet love, what spite hath thy fair colour spent? Nor friends nor foes, to me welcome you are: Or thy affection cannot hold the bent; Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, I shall not look upon his like again. MMCDLXXXII - "SHDBYTHISTHOUP" Such as the day is when the sun is hid. Hath pass'd in safety through the narrow seas, Directly interest: mark what Jacob did. But with her most vile principal, that she's You'll make a mutiny among my guests! That dwell in vegetives, in metals, stones; He must observe their mood on whom he jests, I would be blind with weeping, sick with groans, Start not; her actions shall be holy as The other, that he do record a gift, Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Plucks off my beard and blows it in my face? MMCDLXXXIII - "ERCEIVESTWHICH" Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Richer than that which four successive kings Crush him together rather than unfold Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Is love a tender thing? it is too rough, Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: She would applaud Andronicus' conceit: That goldsmith there, were he not pack'd with her, Would you not deem it breathed? and that those veins Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir: Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains, Call here my varlet; I'll unarm again: He! no, she'll none of him; they two are twain. MMCDLXXXIV - "MAKESTHYLOVEMO" My lords, at once: the care you have of us, And I am prest unto it: therefore, speak. King Richard might create a perfect guess Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Save when command to your dismission tends, Their wills: fill thy purse with money:--the food His foes are so enrooted with his friends You spend your passion on a misprised mood: Lucy, farewell; no more my fortune can, Of both your armies; whose equality Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. My house, mine honour, yea, my life, be thine, Of thine affairs, as well as thou of mine? MMCDLXXXV - "RESTRONGTOLOVE" Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Sweet king! the bishop hath a kindly gird. Thy overflow of good converts to bad, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen O boy, thy father gave thee life too soon, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon! Therefore accept such kindness as I can. Of any thing the image tell me that Lest that it make me so unsound a man Of such contents as you will wonder at; Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMCDLXXXVI - "THATWELLWHICHT" That he misconstrues all that you have done. How I would make him fawn and beg and seek And pay them at thy leisure, one by one. This blended knight, half Trojan and half Greek. What, urge you your petitions in the street? Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, Let him have time a beggar's orts to crave, When at their mothers' moist eyes babes shall suck, Has friendship such a faint and milky heart, If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, Could not again undo: it was mine art, How high a pitch his resolution soars! The crown of England, father, which is yours. MMCDLXXXVII - "HOUMUSTLEAVEER" Had I as many sons as I have hairs, Of all the voices that we have procured Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; Most ignorant of what he's most assured, Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads? Sit with my cousin; lend him your kind pains To see those borrow'd tears that Sinon sheds! Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Each changing place with that which goes before, Are you a man? have you a soul or sense? Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Establish him in his true sense again, Receive each other. God speak this Amen! MMCDLXXXVIII - "ELONGBUTBECONT" Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Lord Titus, by your leave, this maid is mine. O, had they in that darksome prison died! Nature is fine in love, and where 'tis fine, Go, take hence that traitor from our sight; But get thee back; my soul is too much charged Upon thy side against myself I'll fight, The custom of request you have discharged: Bushy and Green, I will not vex your souls-- Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Cursed be the hand that made these fatal holes! Or else my kingdom stands on brittle glass. Nor I cannot woo in festival terms. Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. MMCDLXXXIX - "ENTEDWHENTHATF" Each changing place with that which goes before, No. madam, he does nothing but smile: your That right in peace which here we urge in war, Exposing what is mortal and unsure Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Who hath not seen them, even with those wings Heard you of nothing strange about the streets? End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Not to deny me, and to pardon me. Three thousand ducats: I'll not answer that: He had no other deathsman. Let us see. And leave this idle theme, this bootless chat: Their lips together glued, fall to the earth. For he himself is subject to his birth. MMCDXC - "ELLARRESTWITHO" Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Lest that thy wives with spits and boys with stones Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Afflict him in his bed with bedrid groans; Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive She hath had too much wrong; and I repent This is a poor epitome of yours, Which then he wore; the snatches in his voice, I come to have thee thrust me out of doors. The commonwealth is sick of their own choice; How easy is it, then! Your constancy O foul revolt of French inconstancy! MMCDXCI - "UTALLBAILSHALL" Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: That she may make, unmake, do what she list, As thunder when the clouds in autumn crack. Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! But like of each thing that in season grows. As doth a raven on a sick-fall'n beast, In russet yeas and honest kersey noes: Loath to depose the child, Your brother's son; Shall we go send them dinners and fresh suits Hath rung night's yawning peal, there shall be done As if he pluck'd up kisses by the roots Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal: Lead on to some foul issue: we all kneel. MMCDXCII - "CARRYMEAWAYMYL" Could not take truce with the unruly spleen And all this dumb play had his acts made plain Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Your praises are too large: but that your youth, Mistress Ford, and requests your company. Even so void is your false heart of truth. And shall, or him we will accompany. Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars; Yourself again after yourself's decease, More villain thou. Well, push him out of doors; You may as well do anything most hard, Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. MMCDXCIII - "IFEHATHINTHISL" I have done penance for contemning Love, Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Honour and beauty, in the owner's arms, And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts That yon green boy shall have no sun to ripe How proud I am of thee and of thy gifts If I would time expend with such a snipe. Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw These antique fables, nor these fairy toys. How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, I saw their weapons drawn: there was a noise, See, see! they join, embrace, and seem to kiss, Let me, upon my knee, prevail in this. MMCDXCIV - "INESOMEINTERES" Is all the policy, strength and defence, No more pains for those thanks than you took pains Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Scratch thee but with a pin, and there remains Of fool and feather that they got in France, May they not be my oracles as well, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: I will not praise that purpose not to sell. No more; and by a sleep to say we end The better act of purposes mistook Each hath his place and function to attend: Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. So him I lose through my unkind abuse. MMCDXCV - "TWHICHFORMEMOR" That had befall'n us. As we paced along Whilst I at home starve for a merry look. High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong, If you suppose as fearing you it shook. Could trammel up the consequence, and catch Her eyes, though sod in tears, look'd red and raw, For we are peremptory to dispatch Or that we would, against the form of law, Return again, and take an oath with thee. Makes me the bolder to salute my king Ensuing dangers; as by proof, we see More relative than this. The play's the thing Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. Return, return, and make thy love amends. MMCDXCVI - "IALSTILLWITHTH" I see by you I am a sweet-faced youth. As a long-parted mother with her child Lest I surcease to honour mine own truth So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, These antique fables, nor these fairy toys. In number more than ever women spoke, Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke What comfortable hour canst thou name, In those unfledged days was my wife a girl; There's nothing differs but the outward fame. Her father is no better than an earl, Take you the lute, and you the set of books; Hast moved us: what seest thou in our looks? MMCDXCVII - "EESHALLSTAYWHE" Either to die the death or to abjure Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Sacred and sweet was all I saw in her. Have studied physic, through which secret art, A poor esquire of Kent, that loves his king. Like goodly buildings left without a roof Like little frosts that sometime threat the spring, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! Therefore, my lord protector, give consent And when my uncle told me so, he wept, Yet what of thee thy poet doth invent Whilst emulation in the army crept: Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan, Enough to purchase what you have made known. MMCDXCVIII - "NTHOUREVIEWEST" Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, To burn this night with torches: know, my hearts, Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws Obeying in commanding, and thy parts Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Visit the speechless sick and still converse I will both hear and grant you your requests. Else you may be marvellously mistook. Was falsely borne in hand, sends out arrests Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Still live they and for ever may they last! That so he might recover what was lost. MMCDXCIX - "THISTHOUDOSTRE" This harness'd masque and unadvised revel, His dukedom and his chair with me is left. Is't with you? What, man! defy the devil: Steal thine own freedom and complain on theft. That her old gloves were on, but 'twas her hands; Hath he excepted most against my love. On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, Upon his party for the gain thereof: Dissembling harlot, thou art false in all; O, yes, it doth; a thousand-fold it doth. See how the surly Warwick mans the wall! Till the high fever seethe your blood to froth, Return in haste, for I do feast to-night Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMD - "VIEWTHEVERYPAR" Values itself so highly that to her If to come hither you have measured miles, Either to die the death or to abjure Wooing poor craftsmen with the craft of smiles This hand was made to handle naught but gold. Handlest in thy discourse, O, that her hand, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Virtue he had, deserving to command: Even like a man new haled from the rack, Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. Perceive I speak sincerely, and high note's Art thou a man? thy form cries out thou art: Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. MMDI - "TWASCONSECRATE" The worms were hallow'd that did breed the silk; Who this accomplishment so hotly chased; And curd, like eager droppings into milk, She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, Come hither, herald. Let the trumpet sound, Ordained is to raise this tedious siege Now do I long to hear how you were found; Sweet York, be patient. Hear me, gentle liege. Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Cause they take vengeance of such kind of men. Right joyous are we to behold your face, And he hath won what he would lose again: This child of fancy, that Armado hight, Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMDII - "TOTHEETHEEARTH" Thy temples should be planted presently Of all that virtue love for virtue loved: Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly How happily he lives, how well beloved Else had she with her father rang'd along. Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: To my keen curses; for without my wrong His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? And wolves are gnarling who shall gnaw thee first. Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! Then sit we down, and let us all consult. Hath that poor monarch taught thee to insult? MMDIII - "CANHAVEBUTEART" Come, Marcus; come, kinsmen; this is the way. And put a barren sceptre in my gripe, Not able to endure the sight of day, His head unmellow'd, but his judgment ripe; And in this private plot be we the first Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, But just a pound of flesh: if thou cut'st more Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. Then both, or one, or anything thou wilt. Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: And give to dust that is a little gilt Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. To jump up higher seem'd, to mock the mind. MMDIV - "HWHICHISHISDUE" Have in these parts from morn till even fought Why stops my lord, shall I not hear my task? He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught I know the reason, lady, why you ask. Cog their hearts from them, and come home beloved Here comes a man; let's stay till he be past. I never writ, nor no man ever loved. Still live they and for ever may they last! His regiment lies half a mile at least It is my love that keeps mine eye awake; Say but the word, and I will be his priest. Descend to darkness and the burning lake! Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest; Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast.

To write and read O, what a mansion have those vices got Uneven is the course, I like it not. MMDVIII - "HASTBUTLOSTTHE" Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, And to fulfil his prince' desire, So him I lose through my unkind abuse.

MMDIX - "DREGSOFLIFETHE" Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard. Sirrah, call in my sons to be my bail; Or how haps it I seek not to advance Find shapes of grief, more than himself, to wail; Look on thy country, look on fertile France, Is writ in moods and frowns and wrinkles strange, Far be it we should honour such as these Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange That holds his honour higher than his ease, How often have I tempted Suffolk's tongue, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMDX - "PREYOFWORMSMYB" Pawning his honour to obtain his lust; Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, You drew your sword upon me without cause; Open your ears; for which of you will stop From open haunts and popularity. We will, fair queen, up to the mountain's top, Open as day for melting charity; Repair'd with double riches of content.

You shall enjoy them, everything set off By heaven, all dry-beaten with pure scoff! MMDXI - "ODYBEINGDEADTH" One that made means to come by what he hath, Discredit my authority with yours; You were conducted to a gentle bath But great men tremble when the lion roars; Even or odd, of all days in the year, If I to-day die not with Frenchmen's rage, Nay, then, thou mock'st me. Thou shalt buy this dear, Give me a staff of honour for mine age, Darest with thy frozen admonition Each opposite that blanks the face of joy A ragged and forestall'd remission. Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy That with the king here resteth in his tent? His comforts thrive, his trials well are spent. MMDXII - "ECOWARDCONQUES" East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Conceptions only proper to myself, O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Which is as dear to me as life itself; An you re us and fa us, you note us.

Quiet untroubled soul, awake, awake! Unmannerly intruder as thou art! Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Strike, fellows, strike; this is the man I seek. MMDXIII - "TOFAWRETCHSKNI" Thus might he pass indeed. Yet he revives. Or, being open, put into his hands Fight for your king, your country and your lives; And all the number of his fair demands With over-weather'd ribs and ragged sails, Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, That we may be admitted where he is. Came short of composition, but in chief He ten times pines that pines beholding food; Since, wedding it, there is such length in grief; Know, gentle wench, it small avails my mood: Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch: I that do bring the news made not the match.

That, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse He spake of her, as Dian had hot dreams, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. MMDXV - "ETOBEREMEMBERE" Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? To make confession and to be absolved. Or the light loss of England for a friend: By him that made us all, I am resolved Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Make war against proportion'd course of time; Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What My doe with the black scut! Let the sky rain But did you not request to have it cut?

MMDXVI - "DTHEWORTHOFTHA" Death of thy soul! those linen cheeks of thine The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, He weeps for her, for she was only mine, Effect it with some care, that he may prove Will take again your queen as yours at first, One fit to bandy with thy lawless sons, Return and tell him so: we know the worst. Thou shouldst be colour'd thus. You married ones, Here come the lovers, full of joy and mirth.

MMDXVIII - "CONTAINSANDTHA" Cancel all grudge, repeal thee home again, Or else my sword with an unbatter'd edge None, sir; I have no pheasant, cock nor hen. The roughest berry on the rudest hedge; A huge half-moon, a monstrous cantle out. If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, No masque to-night: the wind is come about; Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- And cuts me from the best of all my land Nor I cannot woo in festival terms. Disgrace and horror, that, on my command, Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. Honour and beauty, in the owner's arms, Are weakly fortress'd from a world of harms. MMDXIX - "TISTHISANDTHIS" Ten thousand men that fishes gnaw'd upon; I see a man here needs not live by shifts, Sir, she can turn, and turn, and yet go on, That 'scuse serves many men to save their gifts. Hath ordain'd to an honourable end, If I did stay to look on his intents. So long as Edward is thy constant friend, And sigh'd his soul toward the Grecian tents, Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats; Doth love my daughter, and she loveth him, This morning for ten thousand of your throats Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- In shape, in courage, colour, pace and bone. Save that, to die, I leave my love alone. MMDXX - "WITHTHEEREMAIN" Whose ruin you have sought, that to her laws In peace was never gentle lamb more mild, Till he behold them form'd in the applause How couldst thou drain the life-blood of the child, That I were couching with the doctor's clerk.

Britain is My Lord of Gloucester, I have too long borne And wish'd in silence that it were not his. It makes the consuls base: and my soul aches Nay, stay; lets hear the orisons he makes. MMDXXI - "SSOAREYOUTOMYT" Shall rain their drift of bullets on this town. Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, And can do nought but wail her darling's loss, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Even so void is your false heart of truth. Yet nature is made better by no mean Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth; Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil The skies are painted with unnumber'd sparks, Of my boy's face, methoughts I did recoil My tears shall wipe away these bloody marks; Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels, Treasons, makes me betake me to my heels. MMDXXII - "HOUGHTSASFOODT" Here is her picture: let me see; I think, O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Upon a homely object Love can wink. Go hie thee presently, post to the road: Here's a good world the while! Why who's so gross, The sum is paid; the traitors are agreed; Still your own foes, deliver you as most A little water clears us of this deed: Stand not to answer: here, take thou the hilts; For how can tyrants safely govern home, Of Tybalt deaf to peace, but that he tilts O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Door would speak with you: he says he comes from The end of this day's business ere it come! MMDXXIII - "OLIFEORASSWEET" O gentlemen, the time of life is short! Love's feeling is more soft and sensible I with the morning's love have oft made sport, For we no longer are defensible. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Of celebration of that nuptial which Richer than that which four successive kings And say there is no sin but to be rich; Set in a note-book, learn'd, and conn'd by rote, Such hazard now must doting Tarquin make, Would from my forehead wipe a perjured note; England we love; and for that England's sake Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. That, when he waked, of force she must be eyed. MMDXXIV - "SEASONDSHOWERS" Swearing that you withhold his levied host, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, And do some service to Duke Humphrey's ghost. Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Or made a toast for Neptune. Even so Nor ever had one penny bribe from France. Do it, and happy; by my silver bow! Since you are strangers and come here by chance, How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? O Clifford, but bethink thee once again, When clouds appear, wise men put on their cloaks; Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Remember since you owed no more to time Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. MMDXXV - "ARETOTHEGROUND" As these poor pickaxes can dig; and when Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Establish him in his true sense again, The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Than this rich praise, that you alone are you? Her pretty action did outsell her gift, Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Going to find a bare-foot brother out Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Or as a little snow, tumbled about, Unhappy were you, madam, ere I came; Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves! MMDXXVI - "ANDFORTHEPEACE" As lean-faced Envy in her loathsome cave: No public benefit which you receive Despite of death that lives upon my grave, From whom you now must steal and take no leave, Of old Sir Rowland! Why, what make you here? Rather than render back, out with your knives, That art to me as secret and as dear Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Plague him with flies: though that his joy be joy, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: And rape, I fear, was root of thine annoy. Can never be so equal, that your love Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMDXXVII - "OFYOUIHOLDSUCH" Of his return: he answer'd, 'Do not so; For God doth know how many now in health You may see, Lepidus, and henceforth know, Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Upon the head of valour; which indeed In stiff unwieldy arms against thy crown: He may surrender; so we shall proceed On Wednesday next we solemnly set down Love not such nights as these. The wrathful skies Dissemble all your griefs and discontents: So seems this gorgeous beauty to mine eyes. Unless you can find sport in their intents, Could not with graceful eyes attend those wars How high a pitch his resolution soars! MMDXXVIII - "STRIFEASTWIXTA" Something; and scarce so much: nothing, indeed. Then I'll sit down. Give me some wine; fill full. Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: I think he thinks upon the savage bull. For being a bawd, for being a bawd. Ever to conquer, and to have his worth As I will meet thee, if thou stir abroad-- So, weeping, smiling, greet I thee, my earth, This said, in top of rage the lines she rents, Whereof the world takes note: come, come, disclose I could have well diverted her intents, eXcept it be to pray against thy foes. There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas As dear be to thee as thy father was. MMDXXIX - "MISERANDHISWEA" Madam, your penance done, throw off this sheet, I give a sparing limit to my tongue. So he be dead; for that is good deceit Each jealous of the other, as the stung Rather than have that savage duke thine heir Ay, marry, sir, now it begins to work. Not knowing how to find the open air, Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, How darkly and how deadly dost thou speak! I doubt some foul play. Would the night were come! See, see; here comes the man we went to seek. Which shall be most my glory, being dumb; Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. And lookest to command the prince and realm. MMDXXX - "LTHISFOUNDNOWP" Let it alone, thou fool; it is but trash. Three great oaths would scarce make that be believed. Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash, I'll hunt with him; and let them be received, Sport and repose lock from me day and night, For by the image of my cause I see Only to herald thee into his sight, Upon some book I love I'll pray for thee. Never pray more; abandon all remorse; Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. No; fifteen hundred foot, five hundred horse, One word, sir: our watch, sir, have indeed We shall have shortly discord in the spheres. Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. MMDXXXI - "ROUDASANENJOYE" Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, O, that I could but call these dead to life! Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Dead, if you will; but not to be his wife, Ay, as the rocks cheer them that fear their wreck: Sound, sound alarum! we will rush on them. And in thy best consideration check No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, Jove shield your husband from his hounds to-day! Obeying in commanding, and thy parts Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMDXXXII - "RANDANONDOUBTI" Rebuke and dread correction wait on us And with the southern clouds contend in tears, No, I defy all counsel, all redress, Doth Arthur live? O, haste thee to the peers, And when the fit was on him, I did mark Never was such a sudden scholar made; Of heavy Pericles; think this his bark: Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, Disgrace and horror, that, on my command, Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. Unless some dull and favourable hand But he will not entreat his son for us. Therefore this maxim out of love I teach: I'll have thy head for this thy traitor's speech. MMDXXXIII - "NGTHEFILCHINGA" Never presented!--O, a root,--dear thanks!-- Glory grows guilty of detested crimes, That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, How I have thought of this and of these times, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Five summers have I spent in furthest Greece, I have a father, you a daughter, lost. Like to the earth swallow her own increase. Conscience is but a word that cowards use, Ha! little honour to be much believed, Insinuation, parley and base truce Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived, Grieving themselves to guess at others' smarts, And then they drown their eyes or break their hearts. MMDXXXIV - "GEWILLSTEALHIS" God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Were, durst not, look you, sir, show themselves, as I wish your enterprise to-day may thrive. Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. Light, gentlemen; I'll bind it with my shirt. Since Rome herself in them doth stand disgraced, To match us in comparisons with dirt, Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, And in thy best consideration check Let it fall rather, though the fork invade Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, I'll find a thousand shifts to get away: So it should seem by that I have to say. MMDXXXV - "TREASURENOWCOU" Thy place in council thou hast rudely lost. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. As when the golden sun salutes the morn, Sit, worthy friends: my lord is often thus, Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Nay, master, both in mind and in my shape. O passing traitor, perjured and unjust! Where bloody murder or detested rape Commanded always by the greater gust; On what condition stands it and wherein? Upon the love you bear me, get you in. MMDXXXVI - "NTINGBESTTOBEW" Not mad, but mated; how, I do not know. Though palaces and pyramids do slope If thinking on me then should make you woe. No harm by it, though the gods hear, I hope Grow great by your example and put on But such a headstrong potent fault it is, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Spoke like a tail fellow that respects his That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you; There will the lovely Roman ladies troop: O benefit of ill! now I find true Before his sister should her body stoop Except a sword or sceptre balance it: What love, think'st thou, I sue so much to get? MMDXXXVII - "ITHYOUALONETHE" In confutation of which rude reproach There let him stand, and rave, and cry for food; He saves my labour by his own approach. You may jest on, but, by the holy rood, O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! A wither'd branch, that's only green at top; Look that you take upon you as you should. One woe doth tread upon another's heel, No noise, but silence and eternal sleep: Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, There is your money that I had to keep. Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MMDXXXVIII - "NBETTERDTHATTH" Now do you know the reason of this haste. Be plain, good son, and homely in thy drift; Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. The confirmation of my promised gift, That, when the greatest stroke of fortune falls, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Doubt and suspect, alas, are placed too late: This is the way to kindle, not to quench. He needs as many, sir, as Caesar has; Almost no better than so many French; Thinking to bar thee of succession, as Thou black'st reproach against long-living laud, How now! Rain within doors, and none abroad! MMDXXXIX - "EWORLDMAYSEEMY" Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. What we can do to him, though now the time Of any kindred action like to this? Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Lord Titus, by your leave, this maid is mine. Darest with thy frozen admonition Moist it again, and frame some feeling line A ragged and forestall'd remission. York cannot speak, unless he wear a crown. Strange fowl light upon neighbouring ponds. Your Enow to press a royal merchant down Exposing what is mortal and unsure Might I but live to see thee in my touch, Your lecture shall have leisure for as much. MMDXL - "PLEASURESOMETI" Preeminence, and all the large effects Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects And throw between them all the food thou hast, So early waking, what with loathsome smells, Upon the fortune of this present year: Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Such comfort as do lusty young men feel O, that your face were not so full of O's! Made to the queen, to call back her appeal Except it be to pray against thy foes. Takes on the point of honour to support If Warwick be so near as men report. MMDXLI - "MEALLFULLWITHF" My soul and body on the action both! Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. And let him ne'er see joy that breaks that oath! Lest with my sighs or tears I blast or drown Likely in time to bless a regal throne. For do but note a wild and wanton herd, Until their greater pleasures first be known Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word Lest it should bite its master, and so prove, With those gross taunts I often have endured. I know him now. Good God, betimes remove The ills that were not, grew to faults assured His favour is familiar to me. Boy, For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? MMDXLII - "EASTINGONYOURS" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. A lack of Timon's aid, hath sense withal So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, That has to-day escaped. I thank you all; If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, Nor never seek prevention of thy foes. Great men have reaching hands: oft have I struck O my poor kingdom, sick with civil blows! Now, governor of Paris, take your oath, You will not do't for all the world, I hope. One turf shall serve as pillow for us both; Upon your oath of service to the pope, Real necessities, and give way the while Stand back, you lords, and give us leave awhile. MMDXLIII - "IGHTANDBYANDBY" I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw. Good strings to your beards, new ribbons to your He is not with himself; let us withdraw. Than for your lady's. You may gather more. And says, within her bosom it shall dwell, Never, O never shall I see more joy! Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well. But died thy sister of her love, my boy? You look as you had something more to say. And, of so great a favour growing proud, Now beat them hence; why do you let them stay? Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. But did you not request to have it cut? You speak, Lord Mowbray, now you know not what. MMDXLIV - "CLEANSTARVEDFO" Come on, my boy. How dost, my boy? Art cold? Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: And to fulfil his prince' desire, Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Some heavy business hath my lord in hand, That I might sing it, madam, to a tune. An eye like Mars, to threaten and command; Reply not in how many fathoms deep Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Dear queen, that ended when I but began, For sauciness. I pray you, let us hence, Or else dries up; to be discarded thence! MMDXLV - "RALOOKPOSSESSI" Remove your siege from my unyielding heart; And thy abundant goodness shall excuse Let them have scope: though what they do impart Or any groat I hoarded to my use, O, that a lady, of one man refused. Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell! Put him to choler straight: he hath been used O me! this sight of death is as a bell, Such as I love; and you, among the store, So much against the mettle of your sex, Each changing place with that which goes before, So please you, save the thanks this prince expects: So like you, 'tis the worse. Behold, my lords, It seem'd they would debate with angry swords. MMDXLVI - "NGORPURSUINGNO" Now thy proud neck bears half my burthen'd yoke; Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Ram thou thy fruitful tidings in mine ears, Presents more woeful pageants than the scene Under love's heavy burden do I sink. Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Since I heard thence; these are the words: I think Upon the next live creature that it sees. I never swore this lady such an oath. Not Priamus and Hecuba on knees, Go thou to Friar Penker; bid them both Now, by this hand, I gave it to a youth, Of no allowance to your bosom's truth. MMDXLVII - "DELIGHTSAVEWHA" Did Jessica steal from the wealthy Jew Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Look, what I speak, my life shall prove it true; In wrongful quarrel you have slain your son. Good father, I beseech you on my knees, He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. The commons, like an angry hive of bees So, by my former lecture and advice, And give the king this fatal plotted scroll. Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, What counts harsh fortune casts upon my face; Hath set the women on to this complaint: And much effuse of blood doth make me faint. MMDXLVIII - "TISHADORMUSTFR" They did not bless us with one happy word. I see thee compass'd with thy kingdom's pearl, Sorry I am to hear what I have heard: Her father is no better than an earl, And so it is. I wonder what it bodes. Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Mad ire and wrathful fury makes me weep, Unless you can find sport in their intents, Strato, thou hast been all this while asleep; That hath been breeder of these dire events. Full often, like a shag-hair'd crafty kern, Rather than make unprofited return. MMDXLIX - "OMYOUBETOOKTHU" Of the young prince your son: send straight for him Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, Of this hard world, my ragged prison walls, Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt, Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think Empale him with your weapons round about; Th'art a tall fellow; hold thee that to drink. O, she was nought; and long of her it was On forfeit of my hands, my head, my heart: Know, Caesar doth not wrong, nor without cause The King of Naples, whosoe'er thou art. Hath pass'd in safety through the narrow seas, Upon the next live creature that it sees. MMDL - "SDOIPINEANDSUR" Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green. Deep, hollow, treacherous, and full of guile, O Cleopatra! thou art taken, queen: I and my bosom must debate awhile, Put him to choler straight: he hath been used I never saw so huge a billow, sir, Nothing more dear to me. You are abused Either to die the death or to abjure And fit it with such furniture as suits No, to their lives bad friends were contrary. Destruction fang mankind! Earth, yield me roots! Score hogsheads. I have sounded the very Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. Repair'd with double riches of content. MMDLI - "FEITDAYBYDAYOR" For being ignorant to whom it goes Else shall you not have any hand at all In russet yeas and honest kersey noes: These banish'd men that I have kept withal Doth too too oft betake him to retire, And he will look as hollow as a ghost, You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre, But in his clothes; and one that hath spoke most You, madam, for you are more nobly born, Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends, As when the golden sun salutes the morn, You envy my advancement and my friends': One, lady, if you knew his pure heart's truth, Remains in danger of her former tooth. MMDLII - "GLUTTONINGONAL" Girding with grievous siege castles and towns; Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; To place upon the volume of your deeds, That here were well begun and well begot; Or take his life there: this if she perform, Nor ask advice of any other thought I stood upon the hatches in the storm, Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect. Great king, I am no strumpet, by my life; Or rather say, the cause of this defect, Nothing in France, until he has no wife! As if thou then hadst shut up in thy brain Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain. MMDLIII - "LORALLAWAYWHYI" Let them obey that know not how to rule; Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us. Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. And call it excellent: thou wast told thus; Last longer telling than thy kindness' date. Let your best love draw to that point, which seeks And some donation freely to estate Which pitifully disaster the cheeks. As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins, Where didst thou see her? O unhappy girl! Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains. You are my guest, Lavinia, and your friends. I'll kiss each several paper for amends. MMDLIV - "SMYVERSESOBARR" Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold My father came untimely to his death? You come to take your stand here, and behold Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Rather than triumph in so false a foe. So cowardly; and but for these vile guns, Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Since I left you, mine eye is in my mind; Or rather a disease that's in my flesh, By looking back what I have left behind As vaded gloss no rubbing will refresh, Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. Reverend youth; and I praise God for you. MMDLV - "ENOFNEWPRIDESO" Expect him here: when he shall come and find Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, O, do not slander him, for he is kind. For her sake that I have been,--for I feel No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; When did the tiger's young ones teach the dam? Plant neighbourhood and Christian-like accord Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, Dish of some three-pence; your honours have seen Excited me to treason: their dear loss, So, by a roaring tempest on the flood, O God! did Romeo's hand shed Tybalt's blood? MMDLVI - "FARFROMVARIATI" From this enormous state, seeking to give A gentle scroll. Fair lady, by your leave; Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live For God doth know, so shall the world perceive, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Make my aunt merry with some pleasing tale. Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? A parlous boy: go to, you are too shrewd. Relish your nimble notes to pleasing ears; If he for gold will give us any food; Although against her will, as it appears That he may bless this bay with his tall ship, In the contempt and anger of his lip! MMDLVII - "ONORQUICKCHANG" O, that that earth which kept the world in awe Nay, speak thy mind; and let him ne'er speak more Or that we would, against the form of law, Remove these thoughts from you: the which before Quail to remember--Give me leave; I faint. Unspeak mine own detraction, here abjure I did suppose it should be on constraint: Come on, I say; and first begin with her. Know you how much the people may be moved Clap on more sails; pursue; up with your fights: How I have ever loved the life removed And dying eyes gleam'd forth their ashy lights, Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Go, bear them hence; I will not hear them speak. MMDLVIII - "EWHYWITHTHETIM" Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Whilst such a worthy leader, wanting aid, How can you say to me, I am a king? Your lady's love against some other maid Which rare it is to do--most praised, most loved, I your commission will forthwith dispatch, That the magnifico is much beloved, Her mother, ever strong against that match That it will live engraven in my face. Here is the number of the slaughter'd French. Extinguishing his conduct in this case; This is the way to kindle, not to quench. In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice; More measure of this measure; be not nice. MMDLIX - "EDOINOTGLANCEA" Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live Oppress'd with wrongs and therefore full of fears, I' the morn; I'll call you at your house: give Nor pluck it from his finger, for the wealth O Cleopatra! thou art taken, queen: To see her noble lord restor'd to health, Gifts of rich value. Yet I have not seen Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks Now, if you have a station in the file, Can trip me, if I err; who with wet cheeks Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Ay, but I hope your highness shall have his. MMDLX - "SIDETONEWFOUND" So soon be drawn, nor did he think it meet Indeed we fear'd his sickness was past cure. Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? Exposing what is mortal and unsure They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel, Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made: No mournful bell shall ring her burial; Each present lord began to promise aid, With bitter fasts, with penitential groans, Fair lovely maid, once more good day to thee. One day he gives us diamonds, next day stones. Unto a woman, happy but for me, Now, by my sceptre and my soul to boot, Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? MMDLXI - "METHODSANDTOCO" My army but a weak and sickly guard; Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What There all is marr'd; there lies a cooling card. Her head's declined, and death will seize her, but Of noble having and of royal hope, Doing the execution and the act Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Are of imagination all compact: Now, gods that we adore, whereof comes this? Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is. Thus have you heard me sever'd from my bliss; Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his Could all but answer for that peevish brat? Of full three thousand ducats. What of that? MMDLXII - "MPOUNDSSTRANGE" Me they concern; Regent I am of France. Proffers not took reap thanks for their reward. Or how haps it I seek not to advance Under this conjuration, speak, my lord; Now is this golden crown like a deep well Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. So thrive it in your game! and so, farewell. Save base authority from others' books The knowledge of your mistress home, I grant Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Amongst a grove, the very straightest plant; Nature's bequest gives nothing but doth lend, Grant I may ever love, and rather woo Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. MMDLXIII - "WHYWRITEISTILL" What, here? O nation, that thou couldst remove! How covert matters may be best disclosed, Yet come again; for thou perhaps mayst move Whilst we by Antony are all enclosed. Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: I'ld strive to tell you. We were dead of sleep, To make a shaking fever in your walls, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: In courtly company or at my beads, Say their great enemy is gone, and they To show less sovereignty than they, must needs Is your man secret? Did you ne'er hear say, Lord Warwick, on thy shoulder will I lean; Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. MMDLXIV - "ALLONEEVERTHES" Ascribes the glory of his conquest got Let fair humanity abhor the deed Looking before and after, gave us not O, some authority how to proceed; Now is my day's work done; I'll take good breath: Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Rather than have that savage duke thine heir To hear the story of your life, which must Hath not that honour in't it had; for where Establish him in his true sense again, So thou wilt let me live, and feel no pain. MMDLXV - "AMEANDKEEPINVE" Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Marry, they say my uncle grew so fast Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last, Needs must I under my transgression bow, Doth part his function and is partly blind, Kill thy physician, and the fee bestow Expect him here: when he shall come and find Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Poor Clarence, by thy guile betrayed to death! In stiff unwieldy arms against thy crown: Never did mockers waste more idle breath. Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMDLXVI - "NTIONINANOTEDW" Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? The third possessor; ay, he was the third-- If that same demon that hath gull'd thee thus Of that report which I so oft have heard. Nor God, nor I, delights in perjured men. I am vanquished; these haughty words of hers None, sir; I have no pheasant, cock nor hen. And so offend him; for I tell you, sirs, Nothing is good, I see, without respect: Of strong prevailment in unharden'd youth: Too fairly, Hubert, for so foul effect: Even so void is your false heart of truth. Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Welcome him then according to his worth. MMDLXVII - "EEDTHATEVERYWO" Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? Then thieves and robbers range abroad unseen He must observe their mood on whom he jests, And nothing marted with him. If your lass To give in evidence. What then? What rests? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Visit the speechless sick and still converse Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, Walk half an hour, Leonine, at the least: Or by what means got'st thou to be released? MMDLXVIII - "RDDOTHALMOSTTE" Relieved him with such sanctity of love, Decius, well urged: I think it is not meet, Do you set down your name in the scroll of O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit The king and queen there! that they were, I wish Here dwells my father Jew. Ho! who's within? And of a dragon and a finless fish, Long may he live in fortunes! Shall we in? More than with ruthless waves, with sands and rocks. Of all that I do know: nor know I aught So are those crisped snaky golden locks That the poor soldier that so richly fought, The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? MMDLXIX - "LLMYNAMESHOWIN" Look he's winding up the watch of his wit; Let us come in, that we may bind him fast My life itself, and the best heart of it, You must no more call it York-place, that's past; No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. A vessel rides fast by, but not prepared My friends of noble touch, when I am forth, Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Set foot under thy table. Tut, a toy! Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: Were very pregnant and potential spurs I have no will to wander forth of doors, No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. MMDLXX - "GTHEIRBIRTHAND" Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. There all is marr'd; there lies a cooling card. How now, ambitious Humphry! what means this? Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard In liberty of bloody hand shall range Reward to him that brings the traitor in? But in thy fortunes am unlearn'd and strange. I stand accountant for as great a sin, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Till he behold them form'd in the applause Have you not made an universal shout, A night is but small breath and little pause Now does my project gather to a head: During the life, let us not wrong it dead. MMDLXXI - "WHERETHEYDIDPR" Were poor and single business to contend How bloodily the sun begins to peer Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Excited me to treason: their dear loss, There's matter in these sighs. These profound heaves Henry the Fifth: whiles they each other cross, Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, You cannot guess who caused your father's death. Do the part of an honest man in it. I will be brief, for my short date of breath Did never traitor in the land commit. Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. MMDLXXII - "OCEEDOKNOWSWEE" Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Caesar? Why, he's the Jupiter of men. Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Establish him in his true sense again, Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign: Or I am mad, or else this is a dream: Knowing thy heart torments me with disdain, No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, Which in the scuffles of great fights hath burst She carry armour as she hath begun. With kissing him I should have kill'd him first; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? MMDLXXIII - "TLOVEIALWAYSWR" Thus might he pass indeed. Yet he revives. Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Establish him in his true sense again, In things right true my heart and eyes have erred, Are now to examination these men. Let them be welcome then: we are prepared. With such bedecking ornaments of praise? And Warwick shall disprove it. You forget You told how Diomed, a whole week by days, Spit, and throw stones, cast mire upon me, set With oaths of love, at last, if promise last, Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! MMDLXXIV - "ITEOFYOUANDYOU" I tell you, he that can lay hold of her The dead men's blood, the pining maidens groans, Either to die the death or to abjure Of fair King Richard, scrap'd from Pomfret stones; Few love to hear the sins they love to act; You spy! what do you spy? Come, give me an Of all my buried ancestors are packed: Unseemly woman in a seeming man! Am I a queen in title and in style, Not able to endure the sight of day, Depriv'd thee of! Hold off the earth awhile, Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray, O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there, Unless thou rescue him from foul despair? MMDLXXV - "ANDLOVEARESTIL" Ay, noble uncle, thus ignobly used, Now, as I live, I will. My nobler friends, Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused Lending him wit that to bad debtors lends: Of both your armies; whose equality Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. A better speech was never spoke before; Repent what's past; avoid what is to come; Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Seal up your lips, and give no words but mum: Tell us where 'tis, that we may take it thence Is love so light, sweet boy, and may it be Look by and by to have thy sons with thee. MMDLXXVI - "LMYARGUMENTSOA" Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, My heart's deep languor and my soul's sad tears: You do it for increase: O strange excuse, And often reading what contents it bears; Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Give the dozen white luces in their coat. Under the service of a child as soon Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; Each cheek a river running from a fount No, my good lord; but Pluto sends you word, To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. Sorry I am to hear what I have heard: Or stop the headlong fury of his speed. Are you now going to dispatch this deed? MMDLXXVII - "LLMYBESTISDRES" Let me have men about me that are fat; Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: My lord's almost so far transported that You all look strangely on me; and you most. But you, Lorenzo, whether I am yours? Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, The next thing then she waking looks upon, Is for a precious creature: as she's rare, Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote: Do all lie there: it shall be so my care Ready to catch each other by the throat, Each man apart, all single and alone, Sit then and talk with her; she is thine own. MMDLXXVIII - "SINGOLDWORDSNE" Seized on the realm, deposed the rightful king, I pray you, have in mind where we must meet. Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; Go, carry Sir John Falstaff to the Fleet; O boy, thy father gave thee life too soon, Let those who are in favour with their stars Dial is now upon the prick of noon. Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars, Or nicely charge your understanding soul Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Doth limp behind the substance. Here's the scroll, Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose; Except it be to pray against thy foes. MMDLXXIX - "WSPENDINGAGAIN" Who, having seen me in my worst estate, So him I lose through my unkind abuse. Patricians and plebeians, we create Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Now do you know the reason of this haste. Did Julius Caesar build that place, my lord? If half thy outward graces had been placed Now be a freeman: and with this good sword, Go, Pindarus, get higher on that hill; As well I tender you and all of yours! Give grandam kingdom, and it grandam will And dangerous success of bloody wars, If love ambitious sought a match of birth, Nor to his service no such joy on earth. MMDLXXX - "WHATISALREADYS" Whiles the mad mothers with their howls confused Ha! little honour to be much believed, And for thy life let justice be accused. The people know it; and have now received I am resolved to bear a greater storm Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence; Acquitted by a true substantial form, La main, de hand; les doigts, de fingres. Je pense Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: And then the moon, like to a silver bow Descended of so many royal kings. Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. She's dead as earth. Lend me a looking glass. MMDLXXXI - "PENTFORASTHESU" Praise him that got thee, she that gave thee suck: Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck; To do brave acts. He was indeed the glass For valiant doings in their country's cause? Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt, Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Ay, such a place there is, where we did hunt-- Since I first call'd my brother's father dad. To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. Hold, hurt him not, for God's sake! he is mad. Each cheek a river running from a fount Since they love men in arms as well as beds. Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads? MMDLXXXII - "NISDAILYNEWAND" Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, I must be brief, lest resolution drop Scorn and derision never come in tears: Discourse, I prithee, on this turret's top. And ill-beseeming semblance for a feast. I'll follow him no more with bootless prayers. Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Your eyes drop millstones, when fools' eyes drop tears: Now, quiet soul, depart when heaven please, Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Why fled you from the court? and whither? These, And turn'd it thus,' It cannot be, I find, Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays? Dinner is ready, and your father stays. MMDLXXXIII - "OLDSOISMYLOVES" Of purpose to obscure my noble birth. Last, and as much containing as all these, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Should a like language use to all degrees Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his I'll fill your grave up: stir, nay, come away, She hath been fairer, madam, than she is: My noble partners, and myself, thus pray: Your nobles will not hear you, but are gone Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Values itself so highly that to her Empties itself, as doth an inland brook See where she comes from shrift with merry look. MMDLXXXIV - "TILLTELLINGWHA" They shoot but calm words folded up in smoke, I am a soldier, and unapt to weep, Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Lays open all the little worms that creep; To me she's married, not unto my clothes. Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Laid gifts before him, proffer'd him their oaths, Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. I thought upon one pair of English legs Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Go thou. I'll fetch some flax and whites of eggs Which seem'd to swallow up his sound advice; His mother shames him so, poor boy, he weeps. And they that watch see time how slow it creeps. MMDLXXXV - "TISTOLDTHYGLAS" This discord's ground, the music would not please. I do beseech ye, if you bear me hard, Shall sit and pant in your great chairs of ease, That for a toy, a thing of no regard, O thou fond many, with what loud applause Lives in the English court, and is received Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, This is not strong enough to be believed Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Yet, if you please to hold him off awhile, Go, take it up unto thy master's use. Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: Alas, poor lady, desolate and left! Steal thine own freedom and complain on theft. MMDLXXXVI - "SWILLSHOWTHEEH" Sit, my preserver, by thy patient's side; Will be some danger; which for to prevent, Infected be the air whereon they ride; Losing her woes in shows of discontent. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Honour'd, belov'd, and haply one as kind O Brakenbury, I have done those things, When time is broke and no proportion kept! The worth of that is that which it contains, He cried almost to roaring; and he wept Endue you with the people's voice: remains Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. His meaning struck her ere his words begun. MMDLXXXVII - "OWTHYBEAUTIESW" O, here it is. Uncle, I must come forth. We wawl and cry. I will preach to thee. Mark. Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! Your queen and I are devils: yet go on; But I am pigeon-liver'd and lack gall Excels whatever yet you look'd upon As many as be here of pander's hall, Unless my hand and strength could equal them. To prey on nothing that doth seem as dead. I would be so triumphant as I am? England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Stands not within the prospect of belief, Woe above woe! grief more than common grief! MMDLXXXVIII - "EARTHYDIALHOWT" Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, A curse upon him, die he like a thief, Return, return, and make thy love amends. To you Duke Humphrey must unload his grief, Have I not strove to love, although I knew You would have them always play but one thing? Do not you chide; I have a thing for you. I come with gracious offers from the king, Away the performance: therefore, much drink Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. Here is her picture: let me see; I think, O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! What likelihood of his amendment, lords? Till time lend friends and friends their helpful swords. MMDLXXXIX - "HYPRECIOUSMINU" Hast sold me to this novice; and my heart You that will follow me to this attempt, Please you, I'll meet with you upon the mart Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Charles, and the rest, it is enacted thus: If you may please to think I love the king O Antony, beg not your death of us. Upon the next live creature that it sees. So there's my riddle: one that's dead is quick: My hand is ready, may it do him ease. I hear the King my father is sore sick. Not me begotten of a shepherd swain, Unless the Lady Bona quit his pain. MMDXC - "TESWASTETHEVAC" The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, Why then for Venus' sake, give me a kiss, Am sure I scared the Dauphin and his trull, Since you will buckle fortune on my back, Their courage with hard labour tame and dull, Even like a man new haled from the rack, That might annoy my finger? 'tis so strange, His phoenix down began but to appear Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; And if the boy have not a woman's gift Cursed be that heart that forced us to this shift! MMDXCI - "ANTLEAVESTHYMI" A man that Fortune's buffets and rewards Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. The sweet degrees that this brief world affords Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. A god in love, to whom I am confined. Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? The French king's sister: he shall marry her. Her beauty and the value of her dower, You are my mother, madam; would you were,-- May the two latter darken and expend; In sequent toil all forwards do contend. MMDXCII - "NDSIMPRINTWILL" Now, perjured Henry! wilt thou kneel for grace, Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, She wildly breaketh from their strict embrace, I am his first-born son, that was the last My drown'd queen's name, as in the rest you said Pernicious blood-sucker of sleeping men! Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: I cannot give it vital growth again. Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul Think you I am no stronger than my sex, When yond same star that's westward from the pole Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. MMDXCIII - "BEARANDOFTHISB" By'r lady, he is a good musician. End in one purpose, and be all well borne A ragged and forestall'd remission. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, A precious ring, a ring that I must use Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. Of any promise that hath pass'd from him. For thou art fortunate in all thy deeds. To curb the will of the nobility: Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, I thank my God for my humility. She shall be married to this noble earl. But now I'll tell thee joyful tidings, girl. MMDXCIV - "OOKTHISLEARNIN" On either side I come to spend my breath; O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Kill Brutus, and be honour'd in his death. Thus might he pass indeed. Yet he revives. Have we pass'd through, not without much content In the end of autumn turned to the rams, She hath had too much wrong; and I repent Lo, whilst I waited on my tender lambs, Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make And not dismember Caesar! But, alas, Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Nor no one here; for curses never pass Into a manly stride, and speak of frays Not shall we need his help these fourteen days. MMDXCV - "GMAYSTTHOUTAST" Greater he shall not be; if he serve God, My heart is not compact of flint nor steel; And that the Earl of Surrey, with the rod. You have not dared to break the holy seal Son should be a fool; whose skull Jove cram with The proffer'd means of succor and redress. Take leave and part; for you must part forthwith. Hast not the soft way which, thou dost confess, Open as day for melting charity; Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Thou saw'st them, when I had prosperity. Amity too, of your brave father, whom, Shalt have thy trespass cited up in rhymes, Though Suffolk dare him twenty thousand times. MMDXCVI - "ETHEWRINKLESWH" Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. The kiss you take is better than you give; He is but one: you and my brother search Even for this let us divided live, With me? and welcome: happy day, my lords. Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, I see these witches are afraid of swords. Not like a woman; for I would prevent Keep house and port and servants, as I should; Lavinia, wert thou thus surprised, sweet girl, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: She shall be married to this noble earl. Why, I can teach you, cousin, to command Hath with the king's blood stain'd the king's own land. MMDXCVII - "ICHTHYGLASSWIL" Is thy news good, or bad? answer to that; Calls virtue hypocrite; takes off the rose Her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat, That he did buffet thee, and, in his blows, Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; Go, take it up unto thy master's use. Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke And would, as I shall pity, I could help! Sirrah, what made your master in this place? Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp Who, if he break, thou mayst with better face In their poor praise he humbled. Such a man Love loving not itself none other can. MMDXCVIII - "LTRULYSHOWOFMO" Let him be ransom'd: never master had The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Urge it no more; lest that, instead of words, Let me persuade you take a better course. Your oaths are pass'd; and now subscribe your names, Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force, His grandam's wrongs, and not his mother's shames, Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Which is the hot condition of their blood; Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Fair ladies mask'd are roses in their bud; My lord, Sir John Umfrevile turn'd me back O grim-look'd night! O night with hue so black! MMDXCIX - "UTHEDGRAVESWIL" Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess. To his most royal person, hither come Have torn their souls by turning them from us, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Dear lord, go you and greet him in his tent: God knows thou art a collop of my flesh; Repair'd with double riches of content. A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Some certain of your brethren roar'd and ran Would bring white hairs unto a quiet grave. It is extempore, from my mother wit. Letters to Richmond, you shall answer it. MMDC - "LGIVETHEEMEMOR" Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Gone to be married! gone to swear a peace! I will not hold thee long: if I do live, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard There is a queen, attended by a Moor; He took me by the wrist and held me hard; Exposing what is mortal and unsure Either withdraw unto some private place, My speech should fall into such vile success Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Myself am struck in years, I must confess; Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! MMDCI - "YTHOUBYTHYDIAL" You would for paradise break faith, and troth; Though palaces and pyramids do slope He will do all in all as Hastings doth. Of noble having and of royal hope, Unwilling I agreed. Alas! too soon, Be absent from thy walks, and in my tongue You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? The colt that's back'd and burden'd being young He takes it from the rushes where it lies, Your preparation can affront no less Dark as your fortune is, and but disguise In the old time of war, would shake the press, And we will fear no poison, which attends Like one I loved indeed. What were thy friends? MMDCII - "SSHADYSTEALTHM" Set deadly enmity between two friends, So slight a valuation, should reserve Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's A subtle knave! but yet it shall not serve. Direct not him whose way himself will choose: Yet, to recover them, would lose my life. So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse Till I am even'd with him, wife for wife, Each man apart, all single and alone, Affliction is enamour'd of thy parts, Lest the wise world should look into your moan That I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts, He did, from first to last: why dost thou ask? My husband bids me; now I will unmask. MMDCIII - "AYSTKNOWTIMEST" According to the measure of their states. You rogue, here's lime in this sack too: there is Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! That have afflictions on them, knowing 'tis Kissing carrion- Have you a daughter? Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch: O Dionyza, such a piece of slaughter Which ever as she could with haste dispatch, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds I and ten thousand in this luckless realm My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Score hogsheads. I have sounded the very The king hath straitly charged the contrary. MMDCIV - "HIEVISHPROGRES" Honour'd, belov'd, and haply one as kind If haply you my father do suspect Expect him here: when he shall come and find Very hardly upon such a subject. If I would time expend with such a snipe. Shall change all griefs and quarrels into love. His head unmellow'd, but his judgment ripe; Paler for sorrow than her milk-white dove, Reprove my allegation, if you can; Of this hard world, my ragged prison walls, Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man; Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Effect it with some care, that he may prove So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. MMDCV - "STOETERNITYLOO" She thought he blush'd, as knowing Tarquin's lust, The bug which you would fright me with I seek. O passing traitor, perjured and unjust! Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek To dog his heels and curtsy at his frowns, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Razeth your cities and subverts your towns No if thou dost say 'no' to my demand. If he should break his day, what should I gain This told, I joy; but then no longer glad, You four, from hence to prison back again; Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad? Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy, O foul revolt of French inconstancy! MMDCVI - "KWHATTHYMEMORY" Keep then far league and truce with thy true bed; Why he cannot abide a gaping pig; Here cometh Charles: I marvel how he sped. And profound Solomon to tune a jig, That die unmarried, ere they can behold Than words can witness or your thoughts can guess. He that will think to live till he be old, Your father's sickness is a maim to us. My evils conjured to remembrance and Edward the Third, he bids you then resign My matter is so rash: there is at hand Of thine affairs, as well as thou of mine? Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Yet here Prince Edward stands, King Henry's son. MMDCVII - "CANNOTCONTAINC" Come, make him stand upon this molehill here, And set them upright at their dear friends' doors, Nothing of that shall from mine eyes appear. No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. O cleft effect! cold modesty, hot wrath, To shepherds looking on their silly sheep, Cannot make boast to have that which he hath, Of a poor worm. Thy best of rest is sleep, Nor I cannot woo in festival terms. That rage in savage sensuality. And what we do establish he confirms: In thy despite shall 'scape mortality. Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims Can sick men play so nicely with their names? MMDCVIII - "OMMITTOTHESEWA" O, I will to him and pluck out his eyes! Made a divorce betwixt his queen and him, Mine honour lives when his dishonour dies, If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim: The glass of fashion and the mould of form, Thy son is banish'd upon good advice, Or take his life there: this if she perform, Taffeta phrases, silken terms precise, His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights, Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Some five or six and thirty of his knights, Environ you, till mischief and despair When in that moment, so it came to pass, And turns the sun to shade; alas! alas! MMDCIX - "STEBLANKSANDTH" Such is the fulness of my heart's content. That the poor soldier that so richly fought, Either of king or council, when you went By fishermen of Corinth, as we thought. Lest he that is the supreme King of kings And princes' courts be fill'd with my reproach. No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings King John, your king and England's doth approach, So long in his unlucky Irish wars And father of that chaste dishonour'd dame, No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. Death is the fairest cover for her shame They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel, Have scarce strength left to give them burial. MMDCX - "OUSHALTFINDTHO" Of my boy's face, methoughts I did recoil Unless thou rescue him from foul despair? Stain'd with the variation of each soil How if your husband start some other where? And he, long traded in it, makes it seem Look he's winding up the watch of his wit; Than from true evidence of good esteem From my poor cheek? then he hath wasted it: I can interpret all her martyr'd signs; Nettled and stung with pismires, when I hear Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines? The well-appointed king at Hampton pier He shall kill two of us, and men indeed: Or he his manage by the well-doing steed. MMDCXI - "SECHILDRENNURS" Swearing allegiance and the love of soul Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Can yet the lease of my true love control, His regiment lies half a mile at least I thank my God for my humility. Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Doth make an earthquake of nobility. Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Exposing what is mortal and unsure Nor tripp'd neither, you base football player? Now will I hence to seek my lovely Moor, Unless you have the grace by your fair prayer Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of So let us still continue peace and love. MMDCXII - "EDDELIVERDFROM" Entreated me to call and know her mind: Discover how, and thou shalt find me just. Dumb jewels often in their silent kind Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Like to the earth swallow her own increase. If whilst I live she will be only mine. Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Receiving them from such a worthless post. Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? For time is like a fashionable host Romans, of five and twenty valiant sons, Or make some sign how I may do thee ease: My daughter shall be Henry's, if he please. MMDCXIII - "THYBRAINTOTAKE" That is my home of love: if I have ranged, Have I not strove to love, although I knew You took the moon at full, but now she's changed. Bear Worcester to the death and Vernon too: Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife: And what we do establish he confirms: If you'll implore it, that will free your life, Nor I cannot woo in festival terms. Thou canst not fear us, Pompey, with thy sails; O hateful hands, to tear such loving words! That chides the banks of England, Scotland, Wales, And of their feather many more proud birds, Knights of the garter were of noble birth, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MMDCXIV - "ANEWACQUAINTAN" Anon, as patient as the female dove No might nor greatness in mortality Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. With words, fair looks and liberality? A noble duke, in nature as in name. Cries 'This is he,' could promise to himself Quoted and sign'd to do a deed of shame, Unto thy value I will mount myself At wakes and wassails, meetings, markets, fairs; If I lose them, thus find I by their loss Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's To him that bears the strong offence's cross. And stood against them, as the hope of Troy Never, O never shall I see more joy! MMDCXV - "CEOFTHYMINDTHE" Cried 'O false blood, thou register of lies, Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Or if that thou couldst see me without eyes, For I can here disarm thee with this stick To say 'live, boy:' ne'er thank thy master; live: He was? Why, so! go all which way it will! You are my all the world, and I must strive More than enough am I that vex thee still, It could not else be, I should prove so base, No, to their lives bad friends were contrary. Did, as he vouches, misreport your grace. Therefore it behoves men to be wary. Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. MMDCXVI - "SEOFFICESSOOFT" So him I lose through my unkind abuse. Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Or any groat I hoarded to my use, For certain words he spake against your grace Farewell, good cousin; farewell, gentle friends. I'll beat thee, but I should infect my hands. Curtsy, sweet hearts; and so the measure ends. England, impatient of your just demands, So far from home into my deeds to pry, Submits her to thy might; and of thee craves O, with what wings shall his affections fly Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves, For forth he goes and visits all his host. The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? MMDCXVII - "ASTHOUWILTLOOK" All. Wither, garden; and be henceforth a So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. To this dead man than you shall see me pay. He hath no eyes, the dust hath blinded them. Oft have I heard his praises in pursuit, Undo that prayer, by crying out as loud, What answer makes your grace unto my suit? I tore them from their bonds and cried aloud Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: That never saw the giant world enraged; Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. Of semblable import,--but he hath waged O, pardon me, my liege! But for my tears, Knows not my feeble key of untuned cares? MMDCXVIII - "SHALLPROFITTHE" So then the Volsces stand but as at first, Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like And when 'tis told, O that my heart would burst! Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat Perchance some single vantages you took. Ready to catch each other by the throat, O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Farewell, sweet playfellow: pray thou for us; I am no breeching scholar in the schools, Things that are past are done with me. 'Tis thus: Then the liars and swearers are fools, Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMDCXIX - "EANDMUCHENRICH" Exist, and be a member of his love And that his soul may be as damn'd and black No more than I am well acquitted of. Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- Mine eyes forego their light, my false heart bleed? Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, His better doth not breathe upon the earth. Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. Now to deliver her possession up Return of love, more blest may be the view; I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Candied with ice, caudle thy morning taste, Here! go; the desk, the purse! sweet, now, make haste. MMDCXX - "THYBOOKSOOFTHA" That rage in savage sensuality. He is well paid that is well satisfied; Yet let her be a principality, But that one half which is unsatisfied, O, much I fear some ill unlucky thing. O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note, King did I call thee? no, thou art not king, Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote: Of what conditions we shall stand upon? Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! For never-resting time leads summer on Therefore prepare thee to cut off the flesh. How ill-beseeming is it in thy sex And so farewell until I meet thee next. MMDCXXI - "VEIINVOKEDTHEE" Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. I swear to do this, though a present death If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search. Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, Keep their fur dry, unbonneted he runs, Enter, and cry 'The Dauphin!' presently, Do their gay vestments his affections bait? Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Hence to wait; I beseech you, follow straight. Else would he never so demean himself. England is safe, if true within itself? MMDCXXII - "FORMYMUSEANDFO" For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich; Over the boots? nay, give me not the boots. Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which My lords ambassadors, your several suits You know that you are Brutus that speak this, Might liquid tears or heart-offending groans Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Stone him with harden'd hearts harder than stones; Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, And swear unto my soul to right your wrongs. Night,--I tell this tale vilely:--I should first Disdaining duty that to us belongs. Fair glass of light, I loved you, and could still, O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill! MMDCXXIII - "UNDSUCHFAIRASS" Upon their first lord's neck. But tell me true-- Nearer in bloody thoughts, but not in blood, Deadly divorce step between me and you! So, by a roaring tempest on the flood, Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Came from the north and thus it did import: He sends ye not to murder me for this For long agone I have forgot to court; And therefore think him as a serpent's egg It follows in his thought that I am he. Refused most princely gifts, am bound to beg And you were sworn true subjects unto me: Still and contemplative in living art. See the coast clear'd, and then we will depart. MMDCXXIV - "ISTANCEINMYVER" Is very snow-broth; one who never feels Stand by me, Lucius; do not fear thine aunt. That have outlived the eagle, page thy heels, Amongst a grove, the very straightest plant; No bargains break that are not this day made: Can you not hate me, as I know you do, Each present lord began to promise aid, I will discharge my bond and thank you too. No; God forbid your grace should be forsworn. Madam, your penance done, throw off this sheet, Your grace, that fed my country with your corn, Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Even so void is your false heart of truth. Remains in danger of her former tooth. MMDCXXV - "SEASEVERYALIEN" Since that my case is past the help of law. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And, to begin, wench,--so God help me, la!-- Sir Valentine, whither away so fast? Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Return in haste, for I do feast to-night You have been nobly borne. From me awhile. A woeful hostess brooks not merry guests: Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: I will both hear and grant you your requests. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! MMDCXXVI - "PENHATHGOTMYUS" Prithee, get thee in: would thou hadst ne'er been Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Nor tell the world Antiochus doth sin Hands and they unwashed too, 'tis a foul thing. And more than carefully it us concerns Tell-tale nor no breed-bate: his worst fault is, He's walking in the garden--thus; and spurns Garter, in his coat of arms, and on his O, he is even in my mistress' case, To eat those little darlings whom they loved. Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace; You see, my lord, how ample you're beloved. Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? MMDCXXVII - "EANDUNDERTHEET" Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. As market-men for oxen, sheep, or horse. Nor must not then be yielded to in this. Denied me to come in) return, and force Unless a brother should a brother dare None wed the second but who killed the first. Did not the one deserve to have an heir? Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Run back and bite, because he was withheld; To darkness fleet souls that fly backwards. Stand; How many of you have mine eyes beheld! Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Exposing what is mortal and unsure To him that ever fears he shall be poor. MMDCXXVIII - "HEIRPOESYDISPE" He is gone happy, and has left me rich: Establish him in his true sense again, It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind, O, what a sympathy of woe is this, Expect him here: when he shall come and find Should from her vesture chance to steal a kiss Your mother's hand shall right your mother's wrong. Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines? In peace and honour live Lord Titus long; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Profitless usurer, why dost thou use Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMDCXXIX - "RSETHINEEYESTH" Remains in danger of her former tooth. Should become kings of Naples? O, rejoice Even so void is your false heart of truth. The hollow passage of my poison'd voice, Have I not here the best cards for the game, It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity, Nay, would I were so anger'd with the same! Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Your friends at Pomfret, they do need the priest; Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring She moves me not, or not removes, at least, That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: He saves my labour by his own approach. MMDCXXX - "ATTAUGHTTHEDUM" All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick. That hath enrag'd him on to offer strokes, That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. And half their faces buried in their cloaks, Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Give it a plum, a cherry, and a fig: He veils his tail that, like a falling plume, To see great Hercules whipping a gig, Telling the bushes that thou look'st for wars, Here, sir; as foolish as I was before. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Dost thou love hawking? Thou hast hawks will soar Uneath may she endure the flinty streets, My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets! MMDCXXXI - "BONHIGHTOSINGA" By your furtherance I am clothed in steel; Of both your armies; whose equality Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Her grief, but not her grief's true quality: I am no fee'd post, lady; keep your purse: Gentle Lavinia, let me kiss thy lips. How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, Over my thigh, and sigh'd, and kiss'd; and then Safe out of fortune's shot; and sits aloft, I shall be reconciled to him again. Not very well; but I have met him oft; Go get thee gone; fetch me an iron crow. Against his liking: think you it is so? MMDCXXXII - "NDHEAVYIGNORAN" Not that, I hope, which you received of me. Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, Hark! they are coming from the field: shall we Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Arm, arm, my name! a puny subject strikes Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Your naked infants spitted upon pikes, Indeed, he is so: I repent me much Give order to my servants that they take Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: Or else my heart, concealing it, will break; Rest on my word, and let not discontent An honour! were not I thine only nurse, No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. MMDCXXXIII - "CEALOFTTOFLYHA" Come, let us go: we will include all jars Endue you with the people's voice: remains And with them scourge the bad revolting stars Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Of this hard world, my ragged prison walls, From any private malice in his end, That, when the greatest stroke of fortune falls, The very principals did seem to rend, One sin, I know, another doth provoke; For this time will I take my leave, my lord. Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke You mistake, knight; 'accost' is front her, board Henry is youthful and will quickly yield. And come, young Cato; let us to the field. MMDCXXXIV - "VEADDEDFEATHER" Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Ensuing dangers; as by proof, we see A most unhappy one: I would do much Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea, Do not draw back your hand; I'll take no more; Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Discharged. But come, your Bergomask: let your For swallowing the treasure of the realm: Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. And, live we how we can, yet die we must.

MMDCXXXV - "STOTHELEARNEDS" Save in aspect, hath all offence seal'd up; To follow Caesar in his triumph, since O, let those cities that of plenty's cup To your proceedings; yet believe me, prince, Here is my hand, and here I firmly vow Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Leave me, I pray, a little: pray you now: Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. And of their feather many more proud birds, Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick No, good my lord; let's fight with gentle words Exampled by the first pace that is sick Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Some beauty peep'd through lattice of sear'd age. MMDCXXXVI - "WINGANDGIVENGR" What England says, say briefly, gentle lord; I am so angry at these abject terms; Now be a freeman: and with this good sword, Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. A stand where you may make the fairest shoot. No care, no stop! so senseless of expense, Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? God put it in thy mind to take it hence, I wish we may: but yet have I a mind Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Expect him here: when he shall come and find No occupation; all men idle, all; God knows I had as lief be none as one. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. MMDCXXXVII - "ACEADOUBLEMAJE" As she is prized to have--as to refuse Crack my clear voice with sobs and break my heart Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. And thou, too careless patient as thou art, Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well. Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales. Until to-morrow morning, lords, farewell. Because I would not see thy cruel nails Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host, Except you mean with obstinate repulse My resolution, love, shall be thy boast, A cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse Jove, I thank thee: I will smile; I will do Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. MMDCXXXVIII - "STYYETBEMOSTPR" Sometime 'tis mad and too much talk affords. Than when these fellows ran about the streets, Yet must we join with him and with the lords, Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, Environ you, till mischief and despair To bear the tidings of calamity. Breathe foul contagious darkness in the air. England and France might, through their amity, My blood begins my safer guides to rule; Of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales; Seeking sweet favours from this hateful fool, Thou canst not fear us, Pompey, with thy sails; Proclaim them traitors that are up with Cade; Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. MMDCXXXIX - "OUDOFTHATWHICH" O, torture me no more! I will confess. Until the elder sister first be wed. Deliver them, and your appeal to us Of honour'd bones indeed. What should be said? For by his face straight shall you know his heart. There's five to one; besides, they all are fresh. Hearing the surges threat: we must all part And from her fair and unpolluted flesh Thou learn a prayer without book. Thou canst strike, When these so noble benefits shall prove Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like I know him now. Good God, betimes remove Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays, Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise. MMDCXL - "ICOMPILEWHOSEI" I'll do thee service for so good a gift. Call for the music in the other room. On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Murder not then the fruit within my womb, Pretend some alteration in good will? I know but of a single part, in aught Lackbeard there, he and I shall meet: and, till Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Why, she comes to borrow nothing of them. How were they lost? what treachery was used? Or in my life what comfort, when I am Saying, some shape in Sinon's was abused; Edward and York; then haply she will weep: If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep! MMDCXLI - "NFLUENCEISTHIN" No, lord ambassador, I'll rather keep Forgive my fearful sails! I little thought Let what is dear in Sicily be cheap: Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought England, bound in with the triumphant sea No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Chattels, and whatsoever, and to be End in a word: such is the breath of kings. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Some dozen Romans of us and your lord-- Thy brother Marcus tenders on thy lips: Husht, master! Here's some good pastime toward; If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, No more my grief, in such a precious loss. MMDCXLII - "EANDBORNOFTHEE" Except some petty towns of no import: And fly like chidden Mercury from Jove, No, my good Lord; he hath forsook the court, Did ever Dian so become a grove But such a headstrong potent fault it is, O, he is even in my mistress' case, Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his No, Exeter, these graces challenge grace: Or ne'er return again into my sight. Foh! one may smell in such a will most rank, The king doth keep his revels here to-night: How possibly preserved; and who to thank, Excepting one, I would he were the best Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMDCXLIII - "INOTHERSWORKST" I think it cites us, brother, to the field, Now, messenger, what letters or what news Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, To her, whose state is such that cannot choose He sent me hither, stranger as I am, Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them So mighty and so many my defects, While we were interchanging thrusts and blows, O, burn her, burn her! hanging is too good. Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Know, if you kill me for my fault, I should Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! To make a stale of me amongst these mates? MMDCXLIV - "HOUDOSTBUTMEND" Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Upon a fearful summons. I have heard Dumain transform'd! four woodcocks in a dish! O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! That now is lying in Marseilles road. But with a crafty madness keeps aloof Unless by robbing of your friends and us. To answer mildly; for they are prepared Methinks I see him stamp thus, and call thus: Esteem him as a lamb, being compared No point, quoth I; my servant straight was mute. Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? MMDCXLV - "THESTYLEANDART" To your proceedings? do not seek to stuff Her body's stain her mind untainted clears; Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: See you, my princes, and my noble peers, Tears of true joy for his return to Rome. You shall digest the venom of your spleen, Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, And the device he bears upon his shield Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint Dare ye come forth and meet us in the field? As apt as new-fall'n snow takes any dint. Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick To wear a kerchief! Would you were not sick! MMDCXLVI - "SWITHTHYSWEETG" Sith yet there is a credence in my heart, With that which melteth fools; I mean, sweet words, I knowing all my peril, thou no art. The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Here Aaron is; and what with Aaron now? The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Here, villain; drawn and ready. Where art thou? You that will follow me to this attempt, Should be full-fraught with serviceable vows. Who sitting in the stocks refuge their shame, Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Envy your great deservings and good name, Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw. MMDCXLVII - "RACESGRACEDBEB" Reignier, her father, to the king of France And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings. Cheerly to sea; the signs of war advance: Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Spur your proud horses hard, and ride in blood; Go, Bushy, to the Earl of Wiltshire straight: Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; And in his inward mind he doth debate Could say she were worse: think you of a worse Except it be to pray against thy foes. Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. But carries on the stream of his dispose Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Ballads; we'll buy the other things anon. MMDCXLVIII - "UTTHOUARTALLMY" Upon the country where you make abode; The way it takes, cracking ten thousand curbs To throw away the dearest thing he owed, Her knots disorder'd and her wholesome herbs Or being wreck'd, I am a worthless boat, Unless thou couldst return to make amends? As thy eye-beams, when their fresh rays have smote Remaining in the coffer of her friends, Teaches such beauty as a woman's eye? And such high vaunts of his nobility, Let fortune go to hell for it, not I. Losing both beauty and utility. My bosky acres and my unshrubb'd down, York cannot speak, unless he wear a crown. MMDCXLIX - "ARTANDDOSTADVA" As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were This gentleman, the prince's near ally, And many Jasons come in quest of her. Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays? Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, Dinner is ready, and your father stays. O thou fond many, with what loud applause Such as it is; and for my own poor part, That we meet here so strangely: but her son And all the faith, the virtue of my heart, Devise strange deaths for small offences done? Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. And what I spake, I spake it to my face. MMDCL - "NCEASHIGHASLEA" Now is my day's work done; I'll take good breath: Come, come, beshrew your heart! you'll ne'er be good, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. And here am I, and wode within this wood, Score hogsheads. I have sounded the very He bends her fingers, holds her pulses hard, I have a king's oath to the contrary. Give him deserved vexation. Let a guard His antidotes are poison, and he slays All but new things disdain; whose judgments are Shall in procession sing her endless praise. Like to a dismal clangour heard from far, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Ay, ay: O, lay me by my mistress' side. MMDCLI - "RNINGMYRUDEIGN" Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Now must I hide his body in some hole, I prithee, let thy wife attend on her: Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. Must murder wives much better than themselves You have your wish; my will is even this: Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Upon the love and truth and vows which I Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground?

MMDCLXI - "RPLACEIGRANTSW" Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Pronounce that sentence, then, on me, my liege; Love is too young to know what conscience is; All preparation for a bloody siege Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains, Go, play, boy, play: thy mother plays, and I Relish your nimble notes to pleasing ears; And he hath bought the cottage and the bounds Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, There roar'd the sea, and trumpet-clangor sounds.

It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Like a poor beggar, raileth on the rich. MMDCLXV - "OFAWORTHIERPEN" O foul revolt of French inconstancy! For that which longer nurseth the disease, And grows to something of great constancy; Wouldst have me kneel? first let me ask of these, On her bare breast, the heart of all her land; Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!

MMDCLXVIII - "NTHEROBSTHEEOF" Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: Then vail your ignorance; if none, awake He bears the sentence well that nothing bears Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Only reserved their factor, to buy souls Beseech you, sir, be merry; you have cause, Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes There tell the king he may inquire us out.

In this point charge him home, that he affects None that beheld him, but, like lesser lights, He must observe their mood on whom he jests, Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Expect him here: when he shall come and find Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones; He hence removed last night and with more haste Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. MMDCLXXI - "EVIRTUEANDHEST" Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Visit the speechless sick and still converse If by the way they be not fought withal. Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Troth, sir, all is in his hands above: but Upon her wit doth earthly honour wait, Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What And bid them bring the trumpets to the gate; Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Do a fair message to his kingly ears?

Hold, take thou that, and that. Her and her fortunes: none would look on her, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat But that one half which is unsatisfied, Even for this let us divided live, He is well paid that is well satisfied; Alarbus goes to rest; and we survive Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. I did, my lord: yet let me be their bail; O, who can give an oath? where is a book? Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Blood and destruction shall be so in use Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. MMDCLXXIV - "AUTYDOTHHEGIVE" As plays the sun upon the glassy streams, Upon thy feature; for my rage was blind, Thy weal and woe are both of them extremes; You'll give me leave to spare, when you shall find Did you perceive how he laughed at his vice?

MMDCLXXV - "ANDFOUNDITINTH" A poor unminded outlaw sneaking home, Next month? and are they not some of them set Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, Fair lovers, you are fortunately met: Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, Uncle, you say the queen is at your house; Never did faithful subject more rejoice Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: It is a bawdy planet, that will strike Then happy I, that love and am beloved If he see aught in you that makes him like, Never was monarch better fear'd and loved The love of wicked men converts to fear; How ill this taper burns! Ha! who comes here? MMDCLXXVI - "YCHEEKHECANAFF" You cavil, widow: I did mean, my queen. Confirm'd conspiracy with fearful France; High sparks of honour in thee have I seen. Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Knave; that's, before me thou'rt a knave: this had Her father means she shall be all in white, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Cunning in dumbness, from my weakness draws A merchant of incomparable wealth.

MMDCLXXVII - "ORDNOPRAISETOT" O, then how quickly should this arm of mine. Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Death of thy soul! those linen cheeks of thine Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth O, here he is! Lay hand upon him.- Sir, Pardon me, sweet one, even for the vows Romeo, that she were, O, that she were And put my eyeballs in thy vaulty brows It was excess of wine that set him on; Sir Valentine, your father's in good health: Excels whatever yet you look'd upon To let the wretched man outlive his wealth, Of any trust, virtue, or worth in thee Through 'tis a saying, sir, not due to me. MMDCLXXVIII - "HEEBUTWHATINTH" Have added feathers to the learned's wing Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Became two spouts: the fury spent, anon Unless his noble mother, and his wife; Than Rhodope's or Memphis' ever was: Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life, He cannot buckle his distemper'd cause And leave us to our free election. To grosser issues nor to larger reach It shows my earnestness of affection- Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; To pluck his indignation on thy head Have I not reason to look pale and dead? MMDCLXXIX - "EEDOTHLIVETHEN" Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Do in his name religiously demand O, how thy worth with manners may I sing, That blood which owed the breadth of all this isle, Hath put himself in arms: the adverse winds, Let frantic Talbot triumph for a while It is the lesser blot, modesty finds, Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Thou shouldst be colour'd thus. You married ones, Hold unbewail'd their way.

There is a brief how many sports are ripe: From earth's dark womb some gentle gust doth get, Of his quick objects hath the mind no part, Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. MMDCLXXXI - "THATWHICHHEDOT" That to his borrow'd bed he make retire, He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave And to fulfil his prince' desire, This shoulder was ordain'd so thick to heave; Why that the naked, poor and mangled Peace, Having full scarce six thousand in his troop. If there be one among the fair'st of Greece Compassion on the king commands me stoop; He be as miserably slain as I.

MMDCLXXXIII - "EOWESTHEETHOUT" Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Of your dear mother England, blush for shame; Will you be mine, now you are doubly won? Envy your great deservings and good name, Son to the elder brother of this man, To make some special instant special blest, Her tongue will not obey her heart, nor can Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Turn back and fly, like ships before the wind Had witchcraft in't. He grew unto his seat, O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, Unarm thee, go, and doubt thou not, brave boy, The treasury of everlasting joy. MMDCLXXXIV - "HYSELFDOSTPAYO" Her mother, ever strong against that match Yield! Come before my father. Light, ho, here! Sets down her babe and makes an swift dispatch Even or odd, of all days in the year, Let her awhile be secretly kept in, Finding myself in honour so forbid, Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within, O lady, lady, shame would have it hid! So to enforce or qualify the laws That unicorns may be betray'd with trees, Patience unmoved! no marvel though she pause; And never see day that the happy sees, Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome.

MMDCLXXXVI - "OFYOUDOWRITEKN" Old Salisbury, shame to thy silver hair, Five hundred ducats, villain, for a rope? You fled for vantage, everyone will swear; Of noble having and of royal hope, Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, I would have had thee there, and here again, Together with the terror of the place,-- Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. MMDCLXXXVII - "OWINGABETTERSP" O then, tread down my need, and faith mounts up; With purple falchion, painted to the hilt I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt; Good morrow, Brutus; do we trouble you? As doth the fury of two desperate men But you must join in souls to mock me too? Establish him in his true sense again, Thou blind fool, Love, what dost thou to mine eyes, The greatness he has got. I hourly learn Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Ready to go, but never to return. So shall my virtue be his vice's bawd; Present. Why should I carry lies abroad? MMDCLXXXVIII - "IRITDOTHUSEYOU" If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim: Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood I pray thee, Buckingham, go and meet him, To one so meek, that mine own servant should Doth Lear walk thus? speak thus? Where are his eyes? Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, The great contention of the sea and skies Henry is dead and never shall revive: Unhappy were you, madam, ere I came; Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Envy your great deservings and good name, You do unbend your noble strength, to think Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. MMDCLXXXIX - "RNAMEANDINTHEP" Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords And call it excellent: thou wast told thus; My royal father, cheer these noble lords Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? And go indeed, having so good a mean. Nor dignifies an impure thought with breath; Dish of some three-pence; your honours have seen I can interpret all her martyr'd signs; Not I, but my affairs, have made you wait: To harder bosoms! Looking on the lines Hence to wait; I beseech you, follow straight. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Perish the man whose mind is backward now! MMDCXC - "RAISETHEREOFSP" Raze out the written troubles of the brain And ask of Cymbeline what boon thou wilt, If Henry were recall'd to life again, So full of artless jealousy is guilt England is safe, if true within itself? To dispossess that child which is not his? His wish'd ability, he had himself Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: O heavy times, begetting such events! Fled this way, sir. When by no means he could- She dares not look; yet, winking, there appears Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. MMDCXCI - "ENDSALLHISMIGH" Even so void is your false heart of truth.

Why dost thou look so pale? MMDCXCII - "TTOMAKEMETONGU" Than feed it with such over-roasted flesh. That shake me thus. Pish! Noses, ears, and lips. Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse As broken glass no cement can redress, King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less M,--Malvolio; M,--why, that begins my name. End in a word: such is the breath of kings.

I grieve to hear what torments you endured, Nor must not then be yielded to in this. Good friend, thou hast no cause to say so yet, Of Herne the hunter, let us not forget. MMDCXCIV - "FYOURFAMEBUTSI" For notes of sorrow out of tune are worse You more invest it! Ebbing men, indeed, O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Upon enforcement flies with greatest speed, Richard hath best deserved of all my sons. For stones dissolved to water do convert. Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, But in these nice sharp quillets of the law, Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, Some in her threaden fillet still did bide, I am not bid to wait upon this bride. MMDCXCV - "NCEYOURWORTHWI" Not like a woman; for I would prevent Convenient is it.

I know it well, sir, lo, here is the chain. MMDCXCVI - "DEASTHEOCEANIS" Doth make a stand at what your highness will.

Black is the badge of hell, Could all my travels warrant me they live. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum?

MMDCXCVII - "THEHUMBLEASTHE" To answer mildly; for they are prepared His treasons will sit blushing in his face, Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Her blood, in poor revenge, held it in chase; Unto the daughter of a worthless king, My poverty, but not my will, consents.

May the gods Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Hast thou no mouth by land? What is the news? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMDCXCVIII - "PROUDESTSAILDO" Paris, Guysors, Poictiers, are all quite lost. Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Or, by the gods, this speech were else your last. Upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive, Decrepit miser! base ignoble wretch! Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Show me, my women, like a queen: go fetch The sea-tost Pericles appears to speak. So come to you and yours, as to this Prince! As modest stillness and humility: I heard no letter from my master since Leave off discourse of disability: Do a fair message to his kingly ears? Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears. MMDCXCIX - "THBEARMYSAUCYB" That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops-- Henry the Fifth: whiles they each other cross, But this effusion of such manly drops, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Airy succeeders of intestate joys, Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: My wife, not meanly proud of two such boys, Yet one word more: grief boundeth where it falls, Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence; As if his foot were on brave Hector's breast Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; Crowning the present, doubting of the rest? Your French heart, I will be glad to hear you Be it so, Titus, and gramercy too. MMDCC - "ARKINFERIORFAR" Arms! Warm o' my troth! I do now let loose Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? In sooth, I know not why I am so sad: Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds: England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Razeth your cities and subverts your towns I'll sweeten thy sad grave: thou shalt not lack On special dignities, which vacant lie Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! For, did I think thou wouldst not quickly die, And in this thought they find a kind of ease, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.

Now, my liege, Some means to come to shrift this afternoon; Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease; Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Your gaoler shall deliver you the keys O Harry's wife, triumph not in my woes! Upon your oath of service to the pope, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. But, being moody, give him line and scope Remember whom you are to cope withal; O, let me stay, befall what may befall! MMDCCII - "ADMAINDOTHWILF" Alack, for lesser knowledge! how accursed Duke of Alencon, this was your default, Make choice of which your highness will see first. And oftentimes excusing of a fault I must be cruel, only to be kind; No: know the gallant monarch is in arms Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, Than I am able to instruct or teach: Hast here cut off my lord. To write and read What should I say? his deeds exceed all speech: I have no great devotion to the deed; Let me have men about me that are fat; For men to see, and seeing wonder at. MMDCCIII - "ULLYAPPEARYOUR" Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Look, here's thy love: my foot and her face see. Lest it should bite its master, and so prove, You knew my father well, and in him me, As willingly do I the same resign Proving from world's minority their right: Proving his beauty by succession thine! Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: And live a coward in thine own esteem, Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. Your bugle eyeballs, nor your cheek of cream, O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Until their greater pleasures first be known Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMDCCIV - "SHALLOWESTHELP" Stay yet. You vile abominable tents, Herein lives wisdom, beauty and increase: And I will stoop and humble my intents Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, What, what, ye sanguine, shallow-hearted boys! Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek So shall we stay, mocking intended game, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds How well this yielding rescues thee from shame! Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Let God for ever keep it from my head, Pleased with this dainty bait, thus goes to bed. MMDCCV - "WILLHOLDMEUPAF" Who, angry that the eyes fly from their lights, It stops me here; it is too much of joy: Like one besotted on your sweet delights: Lucius, I'll fit thee; and withal, my boy, Hast heavy substance; bleed'st not; speak'st; art sound. Or by the break of day disguised from hence: Like to a bowl upon a subtle ground, Do so. This jest shall cost me some expense. Must give: for what? for lead? hazard for lead? Else had she with her father rang'd along. Until the golden circuit on my head, Pardon, my liege, that I have stay'd so long. And they indeed had no cause to mistrust; Farewell, good brother: we shall thrive, I trust. MMDCCVI - "LOATWHILSTHEUP" Let them not cease, but with a din confused O, yet defend me, friends! I am but hurt. And, by despairing, shouldst thou stand excused; To do more for me than mine own desert, Which when her sad-beholding husband saw, How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? I pray thee, Jack, I pray thee, do not draw. Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse She is Lavinia, therefore must be loved. To bring him here alone; although perhaps How happily he lives, how well beloved Expire before the flowers in their caps, Upon his party for the gain thereof: Punish my life for tainting of my love! MMDCCVII - "ONYOURSOUNDLES" O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! Never came reformation in a flood, Yours, Cinna; and, my valiant Casca, yours; Of all the court and princes of my blood: Unchain your spirits now with spelling charms Resolved for flight. Now were I happy, if Should so with civil and uncivil arms Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes None, but your beauty: would that fault were mine! Dark as your fortune is, and but disguise Let Henry fret and all the world repine. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live? MMDCCVIII - "SDEEPDOTHRIDEO" Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Dumb jewels often in their silent kind Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Expect him here: when he shall come and find Prince Bassianus, leave to plead my deeds: Doth hurry from the fatal cannon's womb. One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; That for thyself: I will not so presume How we may steal from hence, and for the gap Rot and consume themselves in little time. If they hold when their ladies bid 'em clap. Drove back again unto my native clime? Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Or do I dream? Or have I dream'd till now? MMDCCIX - "RBEINGWRECKDIA" Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, But treasons capital, confess'd and proved, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Is, as a virtue, fix'd, to-day was moved: Not pocket up wrong: art thou not ashamed? God, for thy mercy! they are loose again. Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, Raze out the written troubles of the brain Either of you to be the other's end. Come, make him stand upon this molehill here, Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, Doth any here know me? This is not Lear. I your commission will forthwith dispatch, And couple Clowder with the deep-mouth'd brach. MMDCCX - "MAWORTHLESSBOA" My horse, my ox, my ass, my any thing, And to commend their service to his will. We speak no treason, man: we say the king O me! come near me now I am much ill. Render me worthy of this noble wife! Then tell us, shall your city call us lord, Have I commandment on the pulse of life? Lo, here I lend thee this sharp-pointed sword; Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, See what a grace was seated on this brow; Be these sad signs confirmers of thy words? On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, As thou hast lent me wit to plot this drift! MMDCCXI - "THEOFTALLBUILD" The bug which you would fright me with I seek. Had I but said, I would have kept my word, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Or had he 'scaped, methinks we should have heard From me by strong assault it is bereft. Therefore, go speak: the duke will hear thy voice: And scape detecting, I will pay the theft. Let music sound while he doth make his choice; Lo, here, this long-usurped royalty By any indirection: I did send Upon her nuptial vow, her loyalty, I'll change my black gown for a faithful friend. Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth, Deep in the thigh, a spectacle of ruth! MMDCCXII - "INGANDOFGOODLY" Is severally in all. Let's quit this ground, Now can I break my fast, dine, sup and sleep, Giving myself a voluntary wound A hundred thousand welcomes. I could weep Now in his life, against your holy oath? Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is. One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. For she hath no exchequer now but his, Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: O, let those cities that of plenty's cup O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up Let them say more than like of hearsay well; You do it her: and so, Sir John, farewell! MMDCCXIII - "PRIDETHENIFHET" Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road. I do embrace your offer; and dispose Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed Exposing what is mortal and unsure That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. Hunts not the trail of policy so sure Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: None, but your beauty: would that fault were mine! I guess one angel in another's hell; Forsooth, a blind man at Saint Alban's shrine, Have emptied all their fountains in my well, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Thy mistress' marks? what mistress, slave, hast thou? MMDCCXIV - "HRIVEANDIBECAS" Have been beholding to him in his life; Regard me as I do not flatter, and It tutors nature: artificial strife Virtue he had, deserving to command: Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less A ragged and forestall'd remission. Nor, princes, is it matter new to us Darest with thy frozen admonition Infusing him with self and vain conceit, But when Adonis lived, sun and sharp air Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Call it not patience, Gaunt; it is despair: A man that Fortune's buffets and rewards Shall be my winding-sheet. Why faint you, lords? MMDCCXV - "TAWAYTHEWORSTW" The enemy of all your graces lives. And my poor fool is hang'd! No, no, no life! When you shall please to play the thieves for wives, And then betwixt me and my married wife. You have no stomach having broke your fast; These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, Edge, sting, or operation, I am safe: Will bring this labour to an happy end. Or like an idle thresher with a flail, Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, She that in wisdom never was so frail That can I witness; and a fouler fact What scene of death hath Roscius now to act? MMDCCXVI - "ASTHISMYLOVEWA" Am like to do: take in your arms this piece Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; To draw conditions of a friendly peace; Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice In the contempt and anger of his lip! So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. Make use of time, let not advantage slip; Your nobles will not hear you, but are gone Lousy, pragging knave, Pistol, which you and Of double-fatal yew against thy state; Virtue he had, deserving to command: Eternal numbers to outlive long date. When I against myself with thee partake? All this away and me most wretched make. MMDCCXVII - "SMYDECAYORISHA" She is not bred so dull but she can learn; May now perchance both quake and tremble here, Your master will be dead ere you return; Doth any here know me? This is not Lear. Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Call Buckingham, and bid him arm himself. And that you not delay the present, but, You cannot with such freedom purge yourself, O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! Rome could afford no tribune like to these. It's fit it should be so; for princes are So, now dismiss your army when ye please: Heard where his plants in others' orchards grew, And these same crosses spoil me. Who are you? MMDCCXVIII - "LLLIVEYOUREPIT" Love make his heart of flint that you shall love; Like a poor beggar, raileth on the rich. Let King Cophetua know the truth thereof. It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, You do impeach your modesty too much, O, keep me from their worse than killing lust, Upon my target three fair-shining suns. Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Peace! break thee off! Look where it comes again! In what place of the field doth Calchas keep? The King your father is dispos'd to sleep. MMDCCXIX - "APHTOMAKEORYOU" As very infants prattle of thy pride. Plain and not honest is too harsh a style. Holding out gold that's by the touchstone tried; That I have room with Rome to curse awhile! Or as tie heresies that men do leave Most just and heavy causes make oppose. Are hated most of those they did deceive, Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Or, wanting that, with tears distill'd by moans: Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. MMDCCXX - "SURVIVEWHENIIN" So many blows upon this face of mine, Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Insulting tyranny begins to jet Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Who bow'd but in my stirrup, bend like his He that shall live this day, and see old age, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak, It was not Anne, but a postmaster's boy. Never, O never shall I see more joy! MMDCCXXI - "EARTHAMROTTENF" Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, And now 'tis far too huge to be blown out Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. The yearly course that brings this day about Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, And his enforcement of the city wives; Moved with compassion of my country's wreck, Rather than render back, out with your knives, Or, if you show your face, you must not speak. That hast no less deserved, nor must be known Thou tremblest; and the whiteness in thy cheek Each man apart, all single and alone, No; fifteen hundred foot, five hundred horse, For wise men say it is the wisest course. MMDCCXXII - "ROMHENCEYOURME" Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. O, that record could with a backward look, My grief lies onward and my joy behind. He was the mark and glass, copy and book, Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! Coldly embracing the discolour'd earth; Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. Of their disguising and pretended flight; Unless you have the grace by your fair prayer Return in haste, for I do feast to-night Matchless Navarre; the plea of no less weight Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MMDCCXXIII - "MORYDEATHCANNO" Might there not be a charity in sin Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Yes, madam: yet I cannot choose but laugh, Do not weep, do not weep. Alas the day! Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. And, ere I rose, was Tarquin gone away. Then thieves and robbers range abroad unseen High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit; A landless knight makes thee a landed squire. No man but prophesied revenge for it. No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. MMDCCXXIV - "TTAKEALTHOUGHI" To keep the oath that we administer: Thou art a soldier only: speak no more. An angry arm against His minister. Keeps good old York there with his men of war? Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. And little stars shot from their fixed places, Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. The one and other Diomed embraces. Hast the harvest out of thine own report. Or sleep I now and think I hear all this? Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. He slily stole away and left his men: I'll serve thee true and faithfully till then. MMDCCXXV - "NMEEACHPARTWIL" Now when the lords and barons of the realm Mine, full of sorrow and heart's discontent. Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Either of king or council, when you went A plague upon the tyrant that I serve! Cupid laid by his brand, and fell asleep: He had the wit which I can well observe Play with his locks: then would Adonis weep; And age in love loves not to have years told: Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods! To-morrow night, when Phoebe doth behold Where it shall mingle with the state of floods, I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Let me my service tender on your lips. MMDCCXXVI - "LBEFORGOTTENYO" Labelled to my will: as, item, two lips, By this, starts Collatine as from a dream, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: For my respects are better than they seem Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves God knows how long it is I have to live; Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves The wager thou hast won; and I will add Those eyes of thine from mine have drawn salt tears, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Yet I not doing this, the fool had borne O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! MMDCCXXVII - "URNAMEFROMHENC" Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, An old man, broken with the storms of state, My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: Edward will always bear himself as king: Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds: Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. O what a rogue and peasant slave am I! My marvel and my message. To your court Here comes your man; now is your husband nigh. Except some petty towns of no import: No grave upon the earth shall clip in it Commends me to the thing I cannot get. MMDCCXXVIII - "EIMMORTALLIFES" Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Is not amiss when it is truly done, Making my arms his field, his tent my bed. Made my name once more noble. Now his son, Or tie my treasure up in silken bags, Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem The Duke of Suffolk muffled up in rags! A babe to honour her! If she must teem, Look round about the wicked streets of Rome; Like one that comes here to besiege his court, If we, with thrice such powers left at home, Falls upon thee in a more fairer sort; Else shall you not have any hand at all See how the surly Warwick mans the wall! MMDCCXXIX - "HALLHAVETHOUGH" Have loved without this mean, if on both parts As did that one; and that, in my regard, Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. How many days will finish up the year; And about evening come yourself alone Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Then turn your forces from this paltry siege Hang nothing but a calf's-skin, most sweet lout. Of what you should forget. Now, good my liege Unknown to you, unsought, were clipp'd about Get the learned writer to set down our How like the empress and her sons you are! MMDCCXXX - "IONCEGONETOALL" I dare presume, sweet prince, he thought no harm. Or stones whose rates are either rich or poor No, Warwick, no; while life upholds this arm, Charge him too coldly. Tell him, you are sure Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Give signal to the fight, and to it, lords! Other offenders we will pause upon. Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Edward and York; then haply she will weep: That rots itself in ease on Lethe wharf, Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep. Alas, this is a child, a silly dwarf! Lend me thy hand, and I will give thee mine. Let Henry fret and all the world repine. MMDCCXXXI - "THEWORLDMUSTDI" That sleeve is mine that he'll bear on his helm; He stories to her ears her husband's fame, Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. We'll quickly rouse the traitors in the same. Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within, Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, The prince my brother hath outgrown me far. Do not abuse my master's bounty by Is his to use, so Somerset may die. MMDCCXXXII - "ETHEEARTHCANYI" Except thou wilt except against my love. This fair alliance quickly shall call home Hath to the marbled mansion all above Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? And 'twill be supper-time ere you come there. Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! Thy love's to me religious; else, does err. Here's a few flowers; but 'bout midnight, more: Clip dead men's graves and from their misty jaws Are they not now upon the western shore. Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, You have no children, butchers! if you had, I will be brief. Your noble son is mad. MMDCCXXXIII - "ELDMEBUTACOMMO" Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Dearer than Plutus' mine, richer than gold: Me and my service, ever whilst I live, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, By having him, making yourself no less. Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; Then, gentle shadow,--truth I must confess,-- As she had made the overture, she ceased Come, come, we are friends: let's have a dance ere O, that I knew thy heart; and knew the beast, Madam, and pretty mistresses, give ear: My remedy is then to pluck it out. O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! MMDCCXXXIV - "NGRAVEWHENYOUE" Not Erebus itself were dim enough Go to him, Dolabella, bid him yield; Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Ay, in the temple, in the town, the field, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Which make such wanton gambols with the wind, Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Nor none so bad, but it may well be told. Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young O rash false heat, wrapp'd in repentant cold, Under an osier growing by a brook, Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMDCCXXXV - "NTOMBEDINMENSE" Not of that dye which their investments show, To show how quaint an orator you are: O Agamemnon, let it not be so! My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar Be of good comfort, prince; for you are born Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn I offer'd to awaken his regard No, lord ambassador, I'll rather keep My lord's almost so far transported that Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Now was she just before him as he sat, So well as by reflection, I, your glass, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMDCCXXXVI - "YESSHALLLIEYOU" Your bugle eyeballs, nor your cheek of cream, Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Shall pass his quarter, or offend the stream She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. And with a larger tether may he walk Led hither by pure love: which of them both Look, as the full-fed hound or gorged hawk, Like captives bound to a triumphant car. I do extend him, sir, within himself, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; You make strong party, or defend yourself Or dare to bring thy force so near the court. Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? MMDCCXXXVII - "RMONUMENTSHALL" Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live My lord's almost so far transported that Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Now was she just before him as he sat, Unto a dismal and a fatal end: My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. Each hath his place and function to attend: Nor was not to be equall'd;'--thus your verse This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs, So shall no foot upon the churchyard tread, Have wrought the easy-melting king like wax. And bear the palm for having bravely shed Let music sound while he doth make his choice; Lies my consent and fair according voice. MMDCCXXXVIII - "BEMYGENTLEVERS" By custom and the ordinance of times Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Men shall deal unadvisedly sometimes, You four, from hence to prison back again; Go therefore, tell thy master here I am; Edge, sting, or operation, I am safe: Not measuring what use we made of them. These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe Like to the earth swallow her own increase. Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Even or odd, of all days in the year, Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. MMDCCXXXIX - "EWHICHEYESNOTY" Employ'd you where high profits might come home, With that same weak wind which enkindled it. Hold unbewail'd their way. Welcome to Rome; It is not for your health thus to commit Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough. His insolence draws folly from my lips; Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: You here at Milford-Haven with your ships: Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck Now she unweaves the web that she hath wrought; Of as great size. Ween you of better luck, The one in fear to lose what they enjoy, You know my mind, I'll fight no more 'gainst Troy. MMDCCXL - "ETCREATEDSHALL" Else with the like I had requited him. There roar'd the sea, and trumpet-clangor sounds. Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn! Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Are they gone, and there they intend to sup. The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch, East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Do breed love's settled passions in my heart: So worthless peasants bargain for their wives, Hath done this deed on Caesar. For your part, A just and open trial. While she lives Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. Left there round turrets destitute and pale. MMDCCXLI - "OERREADANDTONG" Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks; Drop in my neck: as it determines, so And each one to his office when he wakes. Now will I dam up this thy yawning mouth Dat is as it sall please de roi mon pere. Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. O masters, if I were disposed to stir No doubt, shall then and till then govern well. Go thou, and fill another room in hell. MMDCCXLII - "UESTOBEYOURBEI" Under love's heavy burden do I sink. Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard She will be sick else. This day, no man think Too late? why, no; I, that do speak a word. O, let those cities that of plenty's cup But, for all this, my honest-natured friends, East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, You envy my advancement and my friends': Of disobedient opposition Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; Remember so weak a composition. Before his chaps be stain'd with crimson blood, Else with the like I had requited him. I know this act shows horrible and grim. MMDCCXLIII - "NGSHALLREHEARS" No, when my father York and Edward wept, Gentle Lucetta, fit me with such weeds Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, And being join'd, I'll thus your hopes destroy; Let us do so: for we are at the stake, Lucius, I'll fit thee; and withal, my boy, Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Establish him in his true sense again, How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, And often at his very loose decides Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; Shall bear along impawn'd, away to-night! MMDCCXLIV - "EWHENALLTHEBRE" Envy your great deservings and good name, Which robs my tongue from breathing native breath? Have I not here the best cards for the game, Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. And in this brainish apprehension kills Look on thy country, look on fertile France, Let's choose executors and talk of wills: The king hath dispossess'd himself of us: He was quick mettle when he went to school. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool; Rather, lost more. And by this hand I swear, Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MMDCCXLV - "ATHERSOFTHISWO" All swoln with chafing, down Adonis sits, There is a willow grows aslant a brook, His sorrows have so overwhelm'd his wits, Else you may be marvellously mistook. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease; Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds: The poor mechanic porters crowding in How 'scaped I killing when I cross'd you so? I, that am honest; I, that hold it sin Soft you; a word or two before you go. What hoop should hold us stanch, from edge to edge O, all you gods! O pretty, pretty pledge! MMDCCXLVI - "RLDAREDEADYOUS" Run not before mine honour, nor my lusts Let us be jocund: will you troll the catch Doth root upon, while that the coulter rusts And you, Prince Dauphin, with all swift dispatch, Regard thy danger, and along with me! Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Devil or devil's dam, I'll conjure thee: Either be gone before the watch be set, And then he drew a dial from his poke, Do glorify the banks that bound them in; You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; O Hero, what a Hero hadst thou been, Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou Seven? why, there were but four even now. MMDCCXLVII - "TILLSHALLLIVES" That I no more can see what once I was! I would not spare my brother in this case, Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause, Longer than I prove loyal to your grace Since night you loved me; yet since night you left He took me by the wrist and held me hard; And useth it to patronage his theft. Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. Live where their prayers did: and it's come to pass, Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve I ask'd his blessing, and from first to last Verona, for a while I take my leave, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood. MMDCCXLVIII - "UCHVIRTUEHATHM" Undo that prayer, by crying out as loud, Ca, ha! he bounds from the earth, as if his Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: I muse my Lord of Gloucester is not come: Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Then, if I have much love, I'll give you some. Upon this business my appearance make Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Have uncontemn'd gone by him, or at least And thereupon I drink unto your Grace. Then 'tis but reason that I be released He is their god: he leads them like a thing Madam, he sends your ladyship this ring. MMDCCXLIX - "YPENWHEREBREAT" Your brother- no, no brother; yet the son- Pale, pale as ashes, all bedaub'd in blood, Earlier too, sir, if now I be one.

Return, return, and make thy love amends. Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. And lastly, to confirm that amity To bear the tidings of calamity. MMDCCL - "HMOSTBREATHESE" Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, Sir Richard, what think you? have you beheld, That weigh their pains in sense and do suppose But now the substance shall endure the like, Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, And if King Edward be as true and just Though some of you with Pilate wash your hands His naked armour of still-slaughter'd lust, England, impatient of your just demands, So that my errand, due unto my tongue, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung.

They were too rough My faction if thou strengthen with thy friends, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Not to woo honour, but to wed it; when I would not be so sick though for his place: God will revenge it. But come, let us in, Right joyous are we to behold your face, And still it might, and yet it may again, Nobody come? then shall I bleed to death. There is a tide in the affairs of men, To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath Here is the number of the slaughter'd French. O' the toe like a parish-top. What, wench!

Rain added to a river that is rank The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect. Of both is flatter'd; but he neither loves, Too fairly, Hubert, for so foul effect: Myself, a prince by fortune of my birth, And batters down himself: what should I say?

MMDCCLIV - "DTOMYMUSEANDTH" Dissolves to water and doth lose his form. Thy latest words. In the reproof of chance Or take his life there: this if she perform, Many a battle have I won in France, Your voice shall be as strong as any man's My heart is thirsty for that noble pledge. Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge: Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, And with a kind of umber smirch my face; Now for the counsel of my son and queen! Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! That taught his son the office of a fowl! Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. MMDCCLV - "EREFOREMAYSTWI" Exceed account; but the full sum of me Resolvedly more leisure shall express: Earth.

Ill mayst thou thrive, if thou grant any grace! MMDCCLVI - "THOUTATTAINTOE" Troy must not be, nor goodly Ilion stand; He that stirs next to carve for his own rage Or any one of you, chop off your hand, Ungovern'd youth, to wail it in their age; The dearer by I know how much an ounce. And never shall you see that I will beg That I, which know my heart, do here pronounce, That grew upon my lips: then laid his leg And therefore mine shall save my brothers' lives. Is lust in action; and till action, lust Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives?

O Lear, Lear, Lear! MMDCCLVIII - "TEDWORDSWHICHW" To hurl upon their heads that break his law. Else shall you not have any hand at all Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: Which seem'd too much enkindled, and withal O Westmoreland, thou art a summer bird, Return and tell him so: we know the worst. Doth want example: who hath read or heard Speak England first, that hath been forward first When life is shamed, and death reproach's debtor. Hew down and fell the hardest-timber'd oak. I have sixty sails, Caesar none better. Captive to thee and to thy Roman yoke, He hath the jewel of my life in hold, When I was crown'd I was but nine months old. MMDCCLIX - "RITERSUSEOFTHE" Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: In thy heart-blood, though being all too base The Destinies will curse thee for this stroke; Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp Until thy head be circled with the same. Scotland hath will to help, but cannot help; Else shall you not have any hand at all Or what hath this bold enterprise brought forth For his divisions, as the times do brawl, Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north Here comes another troop to seek for you. Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. MMDCCLX - "IRFAIRSUBJECTB" It seldom visits sorrow; when it doth, Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his For virtue's office never breaks men's troth. A peevish self-will'd harlotry it is.

Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, But they will quake and tremble all this day. Judge me the world, if 'tis not gross in sense Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey.

Give me thy hand: Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Smoking with pride, march'd on to make his stand Shall plead for me and tell my loving tale: Inferring arguments of mighty force. Not me begotten of a shepherd swain, Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse. Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Visit the speechless sick and still converse Either for life or death, upon the earth Revolving this will teach thee how to curse.

If it should prove Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets' clang? Empale him with your weapons round about; Do shameful execution on herself. Good morrow, masters; put your torches out: Engaging and redeeming of himself And all the fertile land within that bound, So proudly as if he disdain'd the ground. MMDCCLXIV - "INHUEFINDINGTH" I will not eat my word, now thou art mine; No touch of bashfulness? What, will you tear Hold, take thou this, my sweet, and give me thine, Upbraided me about the rose I wear; Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Farewell, sweet playfellow: pray thou for us; I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink. Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus!

MMDCCLXV - "YWORTHALIMITPA" You ne'er oppress'd me with a mother's groan, Which you did shoot the first, I do not doubt, Of all thy sex; most monster-like, be shown Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Than this Lavinia, Bassianus' love. Hector, in view of Trojans and of Greeks, As those that I am come to tell you of! Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks I dare presume, sweet prince, he thought no harm. Myself and what is mine to you and yours I will embrace him with a soldier's arm, To meet displeasure farther from the doors, Pompey is moved. More Ates, more Ates! stir them And make it but a shadow, as I am. MMDCCLXVI - "STMYPRAISEANDT" So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men, The pendent world; or to be worse than worst Making another head to fight again. You know your own degrees; sit down: at first Profess'd to him, why, his revenges must Return those duties back as are right fit, And they indeed had no cause to mistrust; I am afraid; and yet I'll venture it. Six of his labours you'ld have done, and saved Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Absolute madness could so far have raved Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Did he so often lodge in open field, That England shall couch down in fear and yield.

Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, And by and by I will to thee appear. Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? That highly may advantage thee to hear: Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. No, foolish tribune, no; no son of mine, For thou art all, and all things else are thine.

MMDCCLXIX - "WSOMEFRESHERST" Would to the bleeding and the grim alarm Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault, One friend to take his fortune by the arm, My gracious uncle, let me know my fault: Employ'd you where high profits might come home, For as the sun is daily new and old, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Such sweet observance in this work was had, Have I not reason to prefer mine own? Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Revenge upon myself with present moan? So please you, save the thanks this prince expects: That may be must be, love, on Thursday next. MMDCCLXX - "AMPOFTHETIMEBE" As my ripe revenue and due by birth Made issue from the bosom of the boy; Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth, Or sells eternity to get a toy? For Adon's sake, a youngster proud and wild; These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe Hold out this tempest. Bear away that child Edge, sting, or operation, I am safe: That here I kiss her as my sovereign queen. In limited professions. Rascal thieves, Many a morning hath he there been seen, Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Back to the strait that forced him on so fast; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMDCCLXXI - "TTERINGDAYSAND" To bring him here alone; although perhaps The sharded beetle in a safer hold Expire before the flowers in their caps, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, I see, as in a map, the end of all. Now was she just before him as he sat, Go home with it and please your wife withal; Double six thousand, and then treble that, Alack, my lord, that fault is none of yours; You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!

Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Your brother and his lover have embraced: Ere you can take due orders for a priest: The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste. Walk half an hour, Leonine, at the least: Her feet were much too dainty for such tread! Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MMDCCLXXIII - "NTHEYHAVEDEVIS" Now present here together: that's to say, That wait for execution in the morn. Hear me, grave fathers! noble tribunes, stay! End in one purpose, and be all well borne Your highness came to England, so will I Hath oftentimes upbraided me withal: And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by, Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? England is safe, if true within itself? Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, I was of late as petty to his ends Speak suddenly, my lords, are we all friends? MMDCCLXXIV - "EDWHATSTRAINED" Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Did move your greatness and this noble state Who bow'd but in my stirrup, bend like his He had no legs that practis'd not his gait; An arm as big as thine? a heart as big? The neighs of horse to tell of her approach Some men there are love not a gaping pig; That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, And to your quick-conceiving discontents I can no other answer make but thanks, No, I protest, I know not the contents; Envy your great deservings and good name, Dim register and notary of shame! MMDCCLXXV - "TOUCHESRHETORI" The current that with gentle murmur glides, O shame! where is thy blush? Rebellious hell, Upon the beauty of all parts besides, Come, come, we fear the worst; all shall be well. His face still combating with tears and smiles, Either be gone before the watch be set, Sure, these are but imaginary wiles Rome shall record, and when I do forget Here, Marcus, fold it in the oration; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. That tremble at the imagination? O Caesar! these things are beyond all use, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Is by the stern Lord Clifford done to death. MMDCCLXXVI - "CCANLENDTHOUTR" Contrary, if Hero would be my wife. Crown'd with rank fumiter and furrow weeds, Ah, would the scandal vanish with my life, Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Let him depart; his passport shall be made Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. None but a holy hermit and her maid. Death lies on her like an untimely frost This was my wish: 'Be thou,' quoth I, ' accursed, High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong, Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Under whose colours he had fought so long. To make commotion, as full well he can, Retain but privilege of a private man? MMDCCLXXVII - "ULYFAIRWERTTRU" Unclasp'd my practise, quit his fortunes here, Let's see for means: O mischief, thou art swift Yes, when his holy state is touch'd so near. From the rich Jew, a special deed of gift, And vows revenge as spacious as between I cannot now speak. I will hear you soon. Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Why how now? do you speak in the sick tune? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish The baby figure of the giant mass The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish Roaring for Troilus, who hath done to-day Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay! MMDCCLXXVIII - "LYSYMPATHIZEDI" Like to a tenement or pelting farm: You shall have wine enough, my lord, anon. See how I am bewitch'd; behold mine arm Your queen and I are devils: yet go on; Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; Pardon me, Edward, I will make amends: And feed on curds and whey, and suck the goat, The same you are not, which, for your best ends, Husht, master! Here's some good pastime toward; I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins, Zounds, he dies: I had forgot the reward. Endue you with the people's voice: remains Dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst. I am your neighbour, and was suitor first. MMDCCLXXIX - "NTRUEPLAINWORD" Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, That policy may either last so long, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Under whose government come they along? Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Proclaim them traitors that are up with Cade; Like beasts which you shun beastly, and may save, All you that see her, that she were a maid, It shall not fear where it should most mistrust; Nay, in the body of this fleshly land, Which now, two tender playfellows to dust, Of some strange nature, letting it there stand Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? MMDCCLXXX - "SBYTHYTRUETELL" Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom. But mine and mine I loved and mine I praised You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb Than what befalls myself. You stand amazed; Here, Marcus, fold it in the oration; You know that I held Epicurus strong That tremble at the imagination? Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; Environ you, till mischief and despair Thy tears are salter than a younger man's, Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Like him that travels I return again, Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain. MMDCCLXXXI - "INGFRIENDANDTH" It will not be avoided but by this. Now she adds honours to his hateful name; Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. From forth thy reach he would have laid thy shame, Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, I think there is not half a kiss to choose Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Nor aught so good but strain'd from that fair use Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, A hundred thousand welcomes. I could weep Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk: Drunk me would have bought me lights as good cheap To him that, for your honour and your state, How much she loves me- O, the kindest Kate! MMDCCLXXXII - "EIRGROSSPAINTI" Enough to purchase what you have made known. I prithee, tell me, doth he keep his bed? Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; God gi' god-den. I pray, sir, can you read? Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Or if thou hast not sat as I do now, She will not come; she bids you come to her. See what a grace was seated on this brow; Pawn me to this your honour, she is his. And yet are on't? Live you? or are you aught If there be nothing new, but that which is Nor ask advice of any other thought The Duke of Suffolk, William de la Pole. Is dear Lavinia, dearer than my soul. MMDCCLXXXIII - "NGMIGHTBEBETTE" No, let me speak; and let me rail so high, Gaunt am I for the grave, gaunt as a grave, Made prize and purchase of his lustful eye, I'll to the Centaur, to go seek this slave: Garments, how you disgraced her, when you should Heard you of nothing strange about the streets? To do him all the grace and good I could. Being mounted and both roused in their seats, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, By message craved, so is Lord Talbot come. Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Then Clarence is at hand, I hear his drum. Thou, best of dearest and mine only care, Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MMDCCLXXXIV - "RUSEDWHERECHEE" Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Since, wedding it, there is such length in grief; Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Did I impale him with the regal crown? Which parti-coated presence of loose love He is, my lord, and safe in Leicester town; Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Rather than Paris. These are news indeed! Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, He bends her fingers, holds her pulses hard, Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMDCCLXXXV - "KSNEEDBLOODINT" Kill Brutus, and be honour'd in his death. She is not fourteen. How long is it now Nor dignifies an impure thought with breath; Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts Behold another day break in the east: Lightens my humour with his merry jests. Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self, Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. Do outrage and displeasure to himself? I know what thorns the growing rose defends; No. madam, he does nothing but smile: your To him that ever fears he shall be poor. MMDCCLXXXVI - "HEEITISABUSEDI" Her father's liking; which to bring to pass, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. In me at once: but to the brightest beams There's five to one; besides, they all are fresh. I have no joy of this contract to-night: Should have thus little mercy on their flesh? And for I know she taketh most delight Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; Shall have the leading of this foot and horse. Environed with all these hideous fears? Duke of Alencon, this was your default, I have bethought me of another fault. MMDCCLXXXVII - "NEVERSAWTHATYO" No more such wives; therefore, no wife: one worse, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Visit the speechless sick and still converse Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Sound drums and trumpets, and the king will fly. And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back Wash'd it with tears? Hence from her! let her die. That it is meet so few should fetch the prince. His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt All the occurrence of my fortune since The eldest son and heir of John of Gaunt, Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome. MMDCCLXXXVIII - "UDIDPAINTINGNE" Unless the fear of death doth make me dote, Do the low-rated English play at dice; I prithee take thy fingers from my throat; Deceitful Warwick! it was thy device Proud of their numbers and secure in soul, And in his needy shop a tortoise hung, I would the state of time had first been whole Nor to the motion of a schoolboy's tongue, That could be moved to smile at any thing. I must have patience to endure the load: Not half so bad as thine to England's king, Go hie thee presently, post to the road: Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MMDCCLXXXIX - "EDANDTHEREFORE" Else had she with her father rang'd along. Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, Alas, the way is wearisome and long! Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse Death of thy soul! those linen cheeks of thine Throttle their practised accent in their fears He show'd his warrant to a friend of mine: Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Except some petty towns of no import: Five summers have I spent in furthest Greece, Or any he the proudest of thy sort. Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MMDCCXC - "TOYOURFAIRNOPA" To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. Occasions, noble Gloucester, of some poise, You have your wish; my will is even this: O sacred receptacle of my joys, Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Full surfeits, and the dryness of his bones, As after some oration fairly spoke If they'll do neither, we will come to them, Remember so weak a composition. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Of disobedient opposition Plain and not honest is too harsh a style. And with thy lips keep in my soul awhile! MMDCCXCI - "INTINGSETIFOUN" I thank you for your wish, and am well pleased Not shall we need his help these fourteen days. These Kentish rebels would be soon appeased! Into a manly stride, and speak of frays No, to their lives bad friends were contrary. Give me thy fist, thy fore-foot to me give: Score hogsheads. I have sounded the very Even for this let us divided live, The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, If I did stay to look on his intents. For thou art not so long by the head as Of dire combustion and confused events Unto the citizens, who haply may No, madam; we will bring you on your way. MMDCCXCII - "DORTHOUGHTIFOU" Damn'd as thou art, thou hast enchanted her; Or what hath this bold enterprise brought forth Romeo, that she were, O, that she were To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Have other some: why, 'tis a happy thing Or rather say, the cause of this defect, Unto the sovereign mercy of the king; Gods, gods! 'tis strange that from their cold'st neglect Had he done so, himself had borne the crown, There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas I have a letter guessingly set down, Found his deserts: how innocent I was On either side I come to spend my breath; Until they hear the order of his death. MMDCCXCIII - "NDYOUDIDEXCEED" Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. Do kiss the most exalted shores of all. Your voice shall be as strong as any man's O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Uplift us to the view; in their thick breaths, Drawn tuns of blood out of thy country's breast, I will unfold some causes of your deaths. Doth cite each moving sense from idle rest. Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. eXpose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn! Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; Defiance to the traitor, and so die? MMDCCXCIV - "THEBARRENTENDE" That with the king here resteth in his tent? His rougher accents for malicious sounds, Either of king or council, when you went But that I did proceed upon just grounds And were I any thing but what I am, Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Each changing place with that which goes before, Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Till that Bellona's bridegroom, lapp'd in proof, Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Nerissa and the rest, stand all aloof. Didst thou but know the inly touch of love, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMDCCXCV - "ROFAPOETSDEBTA" Receiving them from such a worthless post. O, this is it that makes your servants droop! For beauty that made barren the swell'd boast And tamed the king, and made the dauphin stoop; Prick'd on by public wrongs sustain'd in France, Oft does them by the weakest minister: Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: To keep the oath that we administer: So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Before the tag return? whose rage doth rend They may vex us with shot, or with assault. And lowly words were ransom for their fault. MMDCCXCVI - "NDTHEREFOREHAV" Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; The tenor of my book; trust not my age, How shall I fashion me to wear a cloak? Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Return those duties back as are right fit, Entreat her not the worse in that I pray Fear not my truth: the moral of my wit O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Her aid she promised and assured success: All my abilities in thy behalf. Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? MMDCCXCVII - "EISLEPTINYOURR" Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek I know him now. Good God, betimes remove Smother'd in errors, feeble, shallow, weak, Lest it should bite its master, and so prove, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, That it had it head bit off by it young. I'll choke myself: there's all I'll do for you. Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. You find him like a soldier: do not take Of such as have before endured the like. Upon this business my appearance make Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Rot and consume themselves in little time. MMDCCXCVIII - "EPORTTHATYOUYO" Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Peace be to France, if France in peace permit Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome. Return those duties back as are right fit, The burning torch in yonder turret stands. The Destinies will curse thee for this stroke; His secret murders sticking on his hands; And more he would have said, and more he spoke, This said, in top of rage the lines she rents, You do it her: and so, Sir John, farewell! Of all rejoindure, forcibly prevents Unready! ay, and glad we 'scaped so well. You tread upon my patience: but be sure O, tell me, did you see Aaron the Moor? MMDCCXCIX - "URSELFBEINGEXT" Unto a ragged fearful-hanging rock Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Look, when he fawns, he bites; and when he bites, For in a minute there are many days: But rather one that smiles and still invites Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, I think his understanding is bereft. No big-boned men framed of the Cyclops' size; Guilty thou art of murder and of theft, Envy the great nor do the low despise. eXcellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, The Duke of Suffolk, William de la Pole. MMDCCC - "ANTWELLMIGHTSH" Another king! they grow like Hydra's heads: Nay, if you read this line, remember not That nightly lie in those unproper beds Will or exceed the common or be caught Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Large sums of gold and dowries with their wives: Lend me your knees, and all my life to come More honourable state, more courtship lives If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trash Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof: Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash, This is an accident of hourly proof, Sir John, thy tender lambkin now is King; He did, and from my finger snatch'd that ring. MMDCCCI - "OWHOWFARAMODER" O, speak no more, for I have heard too much. Wife, love Lord Hastings, let him kiss your hand; Honour and virtue and conversed with such Of this post-haste and romage in the land. We shall not find like opportunity. Follow me, then. Lord Helicane, a word. And make me happy in your unity. Rely upon it till my tale be heard, And be not peevish-fond in great designs. Men and men's fortunes could I frankly use O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Repair hither and say you are not fit. MMDCCCII - "NQUILLDOTHCOME" Next, if I be appointed for the place, Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays, Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; If ever you have look'd on better days, Look ye draw home enough, and 'tis there straight. Like goodly buildings left without a roof Do their gay vestments his affections bait? O appetite, from judgment stand aloof! The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, How now! what means death in this rude assault? Comfort, my liege; why looks your grace so pale? Out of their best--is not almost a fault My lord, he hath importun'd me with love Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMDCCCIII - "TOOSHORTSPEAKI" Then wish me better; I will give you leave. O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, Or something hath the nothing that I grieve: Should many people, under two commands, His greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own; Or take his life there: this if she perform, Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; This world to me is like a lasting storm, Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Poison and treason are the hands of sin, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Against the Duke of Clarence, but have been Kill'd her, for whom my tears have made me blind. I fear I am not in my perfect mind. MMDCCCIV - "NGOFWORTHWHATW" Now thou dost penance too. Look how they gaze! Give me the glass, and therein will I read. On Fortinbras; which he, in brief, obeys, Far truer spoke than meant: I lose, indeed; Were fit for thee to use as they to claim, Only be patient till we have appeased Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- The peers agreed, and Henry was well pleased Here on this molehill will I sit me down. Where it shall mingle with the state of floods, Henry the Fourth by conquest got the crown. And by the royalties of both your bloods, The strong-ribb'd bark through liquid mountains cut, Was I a child to fear I know not what. MMDCCCV - "ORTHINYOUDOTHG" O, sir, I find her milder than she was; Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas He sent me hither, stranger as I am, In sight of England and her lordly peers, No malice, sir; no more than well becomes Your eyes do make no coaches; in your tears O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! Unpeg the basket on the house's top, Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; Open your ears; for which of you will stop Too little payment for so great a debt. How now, good fellow! wouldst thou speak with us? Good God! why should they mock poor fellows thus? MMDCCCVI - "ROWTHISSILENCE" Remember so weak a composition. Of the good queen, but the sharp thorny points Wave thus, to express his disposition, They shall have none, I swear, but these my joints; Here is your servant. How now, sir! What news? I drink the air before me, and return So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse She is not bred so dull but she can learn; I' the morn; I'll call you at your house: give Lousy, pragging knave, Pistol, which you and Even for this let us divided live, No if thou dost say 'no' to my demand. Come all to help him, and so stop the air Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MMDCCCVII - "FORMYSINYOUDID" For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich; O, know he is the bridle of your will. Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which My love is as a fever, longing still Yet not so wistly as this queen on him. Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim: Nor was not to be equall'd;'--thus your verse Ye should do service. Hark! the trumpets sound; On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Uproar the universal peace, confound Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds I prithee, lady, have a better cheer; Drink off this potion! Is thy union here? MMDCCCVIII - "IMPUTEWHICHSHA" I ask'd his blessing, and from first to last My hand is ready, may it do him ease. Paris, Guysors, Poictiers, are all quite lost. Upon the next live creature that it sees. To play the broker in mine own behalf; Even like a man new haled from the rack, We do not act that often jest and laugh; He on her belly falls, she on her back. I wish your horses swift and sure of foot; Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. He acts thy greatness in: and when he speaks, A woful Cressid 'mongst the merry Greeks! MMDCCCIX - "LLBEMOSTMYGLOR" Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both! Look, how a bright star shooteth from the sky, But did you never swear, and break an oath? Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. My sea-gown scarf'd about me, in the dark Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: That may be must be, love, on Thursday next. Means to immure herself and not be seen. Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, Good morrow to my sovereign king and queen: Lest that thy wives with spits and boys with stones Of Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, nor of Kent, Repair'd with double riches of content. MMDCCCX - "YBEINGDUMBFORI" You are my all the world, and I must strive Bearing their birthrights proudly on their backs, Even for this let us divided live, In at his window; set this up with wax Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Go on before; I shall inquire you forth: Does he rake this together! Now, my lords, Under the lordly monarch of the north, Madam, I was not old sir Robert's son: By many hands your father was subdued; For him thou labour'st by thy flight to shun O, know'st thou not his looks are my soul's food? Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. I have not sought the day of this dislike. MMDCCCXI - "IMPAIRNOTBEAUT" I have a letter guessingly set down, Must gently be preserved, cherish'd, and kept: Part of your cares you give me with your crown. An offer, uncle, that we will accept: I long to know the truth hereof at large. Rising and cawing at the gun's report, No, Caesar, we will answer on their charge. Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort, Thy pains not used must by thyself be paid: Breathes out of her: she hath not been entranced Each present lord began to promise aid, And how by this their child shall be advanced, Unto a stranger knight to be so bold: Thy hasty spring still blasts, and ne'er grows old! MMDCCCXII - "YBEINGMUTEWHEN" You have not dared to break the holy seal Back do I toss those treasons to thy head; Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: If he were that which now he's like, that's dead; Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, Guess thou the rest; King Edward's friends must down, My mother did but duty; such, my lord, Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown, Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. We must not make a scarecrow of the law, His honour, his affairs, his friends, his state, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Now, France, thy glory droopeth to the dust. MMDCCCXIII - "OTHERSWOULDGIV" Of his self-love, to stop posterity? Threshold till my lord return from the wars. Have done! for shame, if not for charity. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! With amplest entertainment: my free drift Off with his head, and set it on York gates; Undaunted spirit in a dying breast! Leave me, or tarry, Edward will be king, Doth cite each moving sense from idle rest. Give us some music; and, good cousin, sing. I would outstare the sternest eyes that look, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. MMDCCCXIV - "ELIFEANDBRINGA" Each changing place with that which goes before, Leave not the worthy Lucius, good my lords, I can again thy former light restore, For that I heard the clink and fall of swords, Envy your great deservings and good name, And, like a thief, to come to rob my grounds, No longer session hold upon my shame, Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds By her high forehead and her scarlet lip, Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them If I can catch him once upon the hip, No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach. And couple Clowder with the deep-mouth'd brach. MMDCCCXV - "TOMBTHERELIVES" Their manners are more gentle-kind than of Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard More than the nature of a brother's love! But she is arm'd for him and keeps her guard Then the liars and swearers are fools, He used as creatures of another place Either they must be dieted like mules Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Values itself so highly that to her Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Should 'scape the true acquaintance of mine ear. MMDCCCXVI - "MORELIFEINONEO" My faith and this the princess I did give: Or swear before you choose, if you choose wrong Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Else had she with her father rang'd along. Look on my forces with a gracious eye; I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis, For in this sin he is as deep as I. Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: I from my mistress come to you in post; No; let my father seek another heir. Of public honour and proud titles boast, Neither in inward worth nor outward fair, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. MMDCCCXVII - "FYOURFAIREYEST" Fit to be made companion with a king: Yea the illiterate, that know not how O, answer not, but to my closet bring Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! For stony limits cannot hold love out, And barren dearth of daughters and of sons, It makes the course of thoughts to fetch about, Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Your eyes do make no coaches; in your tears Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, She will not stay the siege of loving terms, Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. MMDCCCXVIII - "HANBOTHYOURPOE" His body to that pleasant country's earth, And swear unto my soul to right your wrongs. Now, trust me, 'tis an office of great worth Bewitching like the wanton mermaid's songs, O day! O day! O day! O hateful day! The great assay of art; but at his touch-- Hold you content. What, man! I know them, yea, Your brother did employ my father much,-- Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast, Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Paints itself black, to imitate her brow. Of whom so often I have heard renown, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. MMDCCCXIX - "TSCANINPRAISED" The violence of either thee becomes, Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, Come not thou near me; and when that time comes, And make it but a shadow, as I am. Nerissa teaches me what to believe: I am in parliament pledge for his truth Nor wish no less; and so, I take my leave. Partly that I have need of such a youth Reignier, her father, to the king of France And speak between the change of man and boy Inclinable to honour and advance Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy. Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? MMDCCCXX - "EVISEWHOISITTH" Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis, So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. Expecting in return twenty for one? Which I have seen thee careful to observe, Hail, all you state of Greece! what shall be done O god of love! I know he doth deserve It is impossible that ever Rome See how I am bewitch'd; behold mine arm It follows then the cat must stay at home: The which shall turn you to no further harm The villain is much lighter-heel'd than I: How cheerfully on the false trail they cry! MMDCCCXXI - "ATSAYSMOSTWHIC" As she had made the overture, she ceased Then you shall hear the surly sullen bell Such are the poor, in health--or else a feast, And you, my lords, methinks you do not well Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex: Speak to great Caesar as he comes along. Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks; O, he hath kept an evil diet long, See how I am bewitch'd; behold mine arm Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north What incidency thou dost guess of harm He did, my lord, four days ere I set forth; I am appointed him to murder you. Come, let me see what task I have to do. MMDCCCXXII - "HCANSAYMORETHA" His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war; And reason flies the object of all harm: Now, by the gods that warlike Goths adore, Sometimes he talks as if Duke Humphrey's ghost And when 'tis told, O that my heart would burst! Yet have I gold flies from another coast; Make choice of which your highness will see first. Of what a monarchy you are the head: Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Though all that I can do is nothing worth, How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? Arm me, audacity, from head to foot! MMDCCCXXIII - "NTHISRICHPRAIS" Not so, my lord; it is not so, I swear; Till she had laid it and conjured it down; Hie to the Goths, and raise an army there: I'll draw it as apparent to the crown, Saw'st thou not, boy, how Silver made it good Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, I pray thee, mark me--that a brother should Consent to pay thee that I never had! Huntsman, what say'st thou? wilt thou go along? Pardon me, wife. Henceforth do what thou wilt; Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, All three of them are desperate: their great guilt, I beg this boon, with tears not lightly shed, Speak! In some bush? Where dost thou hide thy head? MMDCCCXXIV - "ETHATYOUALONEA" Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, That grief and patience, rooted in him both, His naked armour of still-slaughter'd lust, And my good friend, thy voluntary oath To dry the rain on my storm-beaten face, Yet, since it is but green, it should be put Of the most pious Edward with such grace Upon this overweening traitor's foot, And tamed the king, and made the dauphin stoop; Look pale as primrose with blood-drinking sighs, O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Nay, it perchance will sparkle in your eyes; Ere such another Julius. Britain is Ay, but I hope your highness shall have his. MMDCCCXXV - "REYOUINWHOSECO" Rancour will out: proud prelate, in thy face Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Yet most suspected, as the time and place Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Upon the heels of my presentment, sir. In him the painter labour'd with his skill Not I, believe me; thus I'll visit her. What shall King Henry be a pupil still His subjects to oppression and contempt Of that true hand that fought Rome's quarrel out, So thrive I in my dangerous attempt Empale him with your weapons round about; Chiron, thy years want wit, thy wit wants edge, O, all you gods! O pretty, pretty pledge! MMDCCCXXVI - "NFINEIMMUREDIS" No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. Fine apparition! My quaint Ariel, I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours No mournful bell shall ring her burial; Ere twice in murk and occidental damp I shall hereafter, my thrice gracious lord, Moist Hesperus hath quench'd his sleepy lamp, My sacred aunt, should by my mortal sword Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; Remember whom you are to cope withal; Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Dukes, earls, lords, gentlemen; indeed, of all. I'll have them sleep on cushions in my tent. Sweet love, what spite hath thy fair colour spent? MMDCCCXXVII - "THESTOREWHICHS" This hand was made to handle naught but gold. Have banged the youth into dumbness. This was Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: See where he is, who's with him, what he does: That Geffrey was thy elder brother born, Out of mine own; his days and times are past Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Which are as easy broke as they make forms. Hath served a dumb arrest upon his tongue; It is the bloody business which informs Come, boy, and go with me: thy sight is young, Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, Set thy seal-manual on my wax-red lips. MMDCCCXXVIII - "HOULDEXAMPLEWH" Have glow'd like plated Mars, now bend, now turn, O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Until her husband and my lord's return: Look, if my gentle love be not raised up! Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, England and France might, through their amity, eXpose thyself to feel what wretches feel, And thou art wedded to calamity. My dear wife's estimate, her womb's increase, Pales in the flood with men, with wives and boys, Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Who was by good appliance recovered. How easily murder is discovered! MMDCCCXXIX - "EREYOUREQUALGR" Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, You use her well: the world may laugh again; O dear account! my life is my foe's debt. Undaunted spirit in a dying breast! Rome shall record, and when I do forget Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Quarrel no more, but be prepared to know Under an osier growing by a brook, Am I the first that have been perjured so? Lest rest and lying still might make them look Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. MMDCCCXXX - "EWLEANPENURYWI" Edmund had issue, Roger Earl of March; Witness these trenches made by grief and care, Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Amity too, of your brave father, whom, No, faith, young Troilus; doff thy harness, youth; Poor living corse, closed in a dead man's tomb! Even so void is your false heart of truth. Not so; but it hath been the longest night Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style Richly in both, if justice had her right. You have been nobly borne. From me awhile. Why, thou say'st true; it is a paltry cap, If they hold when their ladies bid 'em clap. MMDCCCXXXI - "THINTHATPENDOT" Tell thou an earl his divination lies, How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? I fear I am attended by some spies. No more such wives; therefore, no wife: one worse, The town might fall in fright: he, swift of foot, His father revell'd in the heart of France, And there lacks work; anon he's there afoot, The fringed curtains of thine eye advance Pardon me, wife. Henceforth do what thou wilt; Except it be to pray against thy foes. Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt; Deny your asking: take your choice of those Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Than when you left him; even now he sung. MMDCCCXXXII - "HDWELLTHATTOHI" Have leave and leisure to make love to her, Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? With horsemen, that make to him on the spur; Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Lavinia, thou shalt be employ'd: these arms! Lord George your brother, Norfolk and myself, That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, He would have weigh'd thy brother by himself Ay, sir; but she will none, she gives you thanks. That is beloved. How dost thou like this tune? They join and shoot their foam at Simois' banks. O boy, thy father gave thee life too soon, Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's I did not think the king so stored with friends. MMDCCCXXXIII - "SSUBJECTLENDSN" Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. So I return rebuked to my content Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. But the mild glance that sly Ulysses lent John. A strange fish! Were I in England now, Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Christendom. If thou hadst been born blind, thou To make me slave to it; and for your sake Look to thy bark: I'll not be long before Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Nor would your noble mother for much more Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. Neglect the visitation of my friends. MMDCCCXXXIV - "OTSOMESMALLGLO" Only reserved their factor, to buy souls Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes Of an unthrifty knave, and presently My purpose was not to have seen you here; Engaging and redeeming of himself So art thou to revenge, when thou shalt hear. My lord, I have consider'd with myself As hath been belch'd on by infected lungs. Let them want nothing that my house affords. Lives in men's eyes and will to ears and tongues Give signal to the fight, and to it, lords! Let music sound while he doth make his choice; Out, and alas! that was my lady's voice. MMDCCCXXXV - "RYBUTHETHATWRI" Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! You holy clergymen, is there no plot Bearing their own misfortunes on the back Upon the number'd beach? and can we not The purest spring is not so free from mud His tears pure messengers sent from his heart, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. To lay his gay comparisons apart, Have I since your departure had, my lords. And module of confounded royalty. That in your country's service drew your swords: What pledge have we of thy firm loyalty? Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; If best were as it was, or best without. MMDCCCXXXVI - "TESOFYOUIFHECA" To keep my name ungor'd. But till that time Effect it with some care, that he may prove Since, spite of him, I'll live in this poor rhyme, O that my prayers could such affection move! Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump, Your voice shall be as strong as any man's Of place, time, fortune, do cohere and jump Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; I think he be transform'd into a beast; For they that were your enemies are his, Have uncontemn'd gone by him, or at least Ere such another Julius. Britain is Come, come, you forward and unable worms! And thou hast given me most bitter terms. MMDCCCXXXVII - "NTELLTHATYOUAR" Not prizing her poor infant's discontent; The commonwealth is sick of their own choice; Either of king or council, when you went Lies my consent and fair according voice. Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. That will I, for I must bear answer back Herself's a bawd: let not the virgin's cheek And that his soul may be as damn'd and black To gaze upon the secrets of the deep? Yet nature might have made me as these are, Of a poor worm. Thy best of rest is sleep, Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; And here the smug and silver Trent shall run Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. MMDCCCXXXVIII - "EYOUSODIGNIFIE" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. You shall be yet far fairer than you are. Or shall I come to you at evening mass? Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Shall more attend upon the coming space, Of all your dear offences! Bear them hence. Do you your office, or give up your place, If I have thanks, it is a dear expense: Great men may jest with saints; 'tis wit in them, Notable pirate! thou salt-water thief! I would be so triumphant as I am? Fear not; 'tis empty of all things but grief; If he were living, I would try him yet. Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MMDCCCXXXIX - "SHISSTORYLETHI" So does it no man else. Met'st thou my posts? How I have ever loved the life removed Is sum of something, which, to term in gross, She hath assay'd as much as may be proved; Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed; The world shall not be ransom for thy life. Of things to come at large. It is supposed Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife: Your hearts will throb and weep to hear him speak. Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, That so I may by this device at least Here is her picture: let me see; I think, I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink. MMDCCCXL - "MBUTCOPYWHATIN" Must these have voices, that can yield them now Beauteous as ink; a good conclusion. Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. There comes the rain, there begins confusion. Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; O, now you look like Hubert! all this while Pell-mell, down with them! but be first advised, Yet be most proud of that which I compile, Whom we invite to see us crown'd at Scone. He then unto the ladder turns his back, A most extracting frenzy of mine own To look like her are chimney-sweepers black. I know what thorns the growing rose defends; Neglect the visitation of my friends. MMDCCCXLI - "YOUISWRITNOTMA" You know an enemy intends you harm; Or else his head's assurance is but frail. Untimely comes this hurt. Give me your arm. I thank him, that he cuts me from my tale, Suffer't, and live with such as cannot rule Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege; Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. I tender so the safety of my liege. The thunder-like percussion of thy sounds, Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, To make a faithless error in your ears: My lord, no leave take I; for I will ride, And lay them gently on thy tender side. MMDCCCXLII - "KINGWORSEWHATN" Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, If thou be'st slain and with no stroke of mine, No, my good lords, it is not that offends; God witness with me, I have wept for thine. Which I beseech your highness to forgive, One blushing shame, another white despair; Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live She's otherwise, I'll keep my stables where Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Whereon, I do beseech thee, grant me this, Hark, canst thou hear me? I will play the swan. All that is won and lost: give me a kiss; This said, he sets his foot upon the light, Never make known what you have seen to-night. MMDCCCXLIII - "ATUREMADESOCLE" A native slip to us from foreign seeds: The French fight coldly, and retire themselves. Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Except you mean with obstinate repulse Make something nothing by augmenting it. A cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse Did never traitor in the land commit. Each in his office ready at thy beck. So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. One that rejoices in the common wreck, Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, Levy great sums of money through the realm Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. MMDCCCXLIV - "ARANDSUCHACOUN" At your important letters,--this ill day Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, As thou art knight, never to disobey Never presented!--O, a root,--dear thanks!-- Doth homage to his new-appearing sight, Sent your worship a morning's draught of sack. Upon thy side against myself I'll fight, Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back: Have felt the worst of death's destroying wound And blow them at the moon. O, 'tis most sweet Chiron, we hunt not, we, with horse nor hound, Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit, Upon whose property and most dear life Nothing in France, until he have no wife! MMDCCCXLV - "TERPARTSHALLFA" Till of this flat a mountain you have made Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain; And the offender granted scope of speech, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen To do him wrong or any way impeach She did disdain my child, and stood between He has borne all things well: and I do think And pawn mine honour for their safety: since Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! Led by a delicate and tender prince, For Richard, in the view of many lords, Advance your standards, draw your willing swords.

O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth! O, my dear lord, lo, where your son is borne! Promise me life, and I'll confess the truth. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, England we love; and for that England's sake Change slander to remorse; that is some good: I will the banner from a trumpet take, Of grief and blushes, aptly understood Unto the crown of France. That you may know Such dear concernings hide? Who would do so? MMDCCCXCV - "YOUTHATDIDMYRI" You lie, in faith, for you are call'd plain Kate, O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth! Upon her wit doth earthly honour wait, That my report is just and full of truth. Hath given me some worthy cause to wish And situation with those dancing chips, To put good meat into an unclean dish. Defy them then, or else hold close thy lips. Into the danger of this adverse town; Disguise us at my lodging and return, Might yet enkindle you unto the crown, Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, It cannot be that she hath done thee wrong. MMDCCCXCVI - "PETHOUGHTSINMY" Proffers his only daughter to your grace Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; To follow me and praise my eyes and face? His deputy anointed in His sight, On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! Unchain your spirits now with spelling charms Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. He flatly says he'll not lay down his arms. That unassailable holds on his rank, See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate, Is quite beyond mine arm, out of the blank Nor laugh with his companions at thy state: My speech should fall into such vile success Your father's sickness is a maim to us. MMDCCCXCVII - "BRAININHEARSEM" Beseeching thee, if with they will it stands Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Ah, whither shall I fly to 'scape their hands? If best were as it was, or best without. Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim: No; I would tell what 'twere to be a judge, Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Even like a man new haled from the rack, And for my sister and her princely sons, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! So cowardly; and but for these vile guns, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Made it no conscience to destroy a prince. MMDCCCXCVIII - "AKINGTHEIRTOMB" Arise, black vengeance, from thy hollow cell! Keeps wassail, and the swagg'ring upspring reels, I guess one angel in another's hell: Nay, and you will not, sir, I'll take my heels. Go bear it to the Centaur, where we host, To use one language in each several clime He, nor that affable familiar ghost England ne'er had a king until his time. I pray, sir, tell me, is it possible Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Thou canst not, son; it is impossible. O, what a happy title do I find, My dagger in my mouth. Say what thou art, Bewray'd the faintness of my master's heart. MMDCCCXCIX - "THEWOMBWHEREIN" Think, being too strong for him, though he took How now, good fellow! wouldst thou speak with us? Else you may be marvellously mistook. Why hast thou slain thine only daughter thus? Of thee and me, and sighs, and takes my glove, May be put from her by society: But, touch'd with human gentleness and love, While she, the picture of pure piety, Here lies thy heart, thy sinews, and thy bone. Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf; Notable pirate! thou salt-water thief! MMCM - "THEYGREWWASITH" The King shall drink to Hamlet's better breath, Hold, take thou this, my sweet, and give me thine, Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Your weeping sister is no wife of mine, Go one, and call the Jew into the court. Remember so weak a composition. Except some petty towns of no import: Wave thus, to express his disposition, Which you did shoot the first, I do not doubt, And having that do choke their service up Save these men's looks; who do, methinks, find out I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. That the probation bear no hinge nor loop Having full scarce six thousand in his troop. MMCMI - "ISSPIRITBYSPIR" I'll have her; but I will not keep her long. Stand to me in this cause. O mother! wife! Such danger to resistance did belong, Pronounce a sentence on your brother's life: If to have done the thing you gave in charge Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods I have inform'd his highness so at large This and my food are equals; there's no odds: But now you partly may perceive my mind. You would for paradise break faith, and troth; She'll flay thy wolvish visage. Thou shalt find Presents that I intend to send them both: I think this upstart is old Talbot's ghost, Receiving them from such a worthless post. MMCMII - "ITSTAUGHTTOWRI" I would the fool were married to her grave! That there's no maculation in thy heart: So offers he to give what she did crave; Then what could death do, if thou shouldst depart, And this is Edward's wife, that monstrous witch, Upon your stubborn usage of the pope; Good tidings, my Lord Hastings; for the which Hold up thy hand, make signal of thy hope. Thou but offend'st thy lungs to speak so loud: Thy beck might from the bidding of the gods Of nature and of nations speak aloud With certain half-caps and cold-moving nods Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Is by the stern Lord Clifford done to death. MMCMIII - "TEABOVEAMORTAL" That keeps his leaves in spite of any storm, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! And what God will, that let your king perform; But first I'll turn yon fellow in his grave; Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. Very hardly upon such a subject. Either they must be dieted like mules And six or seven winters more respect My father's purposes have been mistook; O, she was nought; and long of her it was Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. To welcome him! much more, and much more cause, And on my eyelids shall conjecture hang, Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets' clang? MMCMIV - "PITCHTHATSTRUC" Perceive I speak sincerely, and high note's In me at once: but to the brightest beams The lining of his coffers shall make coats Conceives by idleness and nothing teems Hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench? That he is bound to? Wife, thou art a fool. Here is the number of the slaughter'd French. And were they to be ruled, and not to rule, Tell me, how fares our loving mother? Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains Thus will I fold them one on another: Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Under the moon, can save the thing from death Coming and going with thy honey breath. MMCMV - "KMEDEADNONEITH" Knocks go and come; God's vassals drop and die; Mine's not an idle cause: the duke himself, Eating the air and promise of supply, Do all expect that you should rouse yourself, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: And when the doctor spies his vantage ripe, Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! Now crack thy lungs, and split thy brazen pipe: Out of my way, unless he bid 'em; but No more of him; for I will deal with him Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What If thou, that bid'st me be content, wert grim, That their negotiations all must slack, Hark how I'll bribe you: good my lord, turn back. MMCMVI - "ERHENORHISCOMP" Even for this let us divided live, Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Heaven, be thou gracious to none alive, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, Or whether gasted by the noise I made, Rather than so, come fate into the list. How fine my master is! I am afraid I would my father look'd but with my eyes. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Come to the bay of Ephesus, he dies, O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse Peace, Trojan; lay thy finger on thy lips! MMCMVII - "EERSBYNIGHTGIV" Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Such commendations as becomes a maid, But then up farther, and as far as Rome; Yea, faith itself to hollow falsehood change! No joyful tongue gave him his welcome home: I will acquaintance strangle and look strange, Grant I may ever love, and rather woo Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. That do corrupt my air, I banish you; Good night to your redress! Is the duke gone? In brief, sir, study what you most affect. Very hardly upon such a subject. MMCMVIII - "INGHIMAIDMYVER" It is indifferent cold, my lord, indeed. Not with fond shekels of the tested gold, Get thee to bed, and rest; for thou hast need. Here is a path to't: 'tis some savage hold: If that be sin, I'll make it my morn prayer Methinks I see this hurly all on foot: Alas, 'tis true I have gone here and there I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Dukes, earls, lords, gentlemen; indeed, of all. My tongue shall hush again this storm of war Yet my good will is great, though the gift small. Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! MMCMIX - "SEASTONISHEDHE" So that but one heart we can make of it; Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! And yet he rides it out. Now please you wit. Sometime all full with feasting on your sight Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. O Mistress Ford, what have you done? You're shamed, Now will I dam up this thy yawning mouth I am betroth'd: and art thou not ashamed Sith in his prime Death doth my love destroy, Hence comes it that your kindred shuns your house, Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes; Except it be to pray against thy foes. MMCMX - "NORTHATAFFABLE" No, madam; we will bring you on your way. Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, Right gracious lord, I cannot brook delay: They say King John sore sick hath left the field. Ha! what sayest thou? Why, the end is, he hath And stand indebted, over and above, Thou wilt but add increase unto my wrath. All is the fear and nothing is the love; For she hath no exchequer now but his, From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell: And make me as the poorest vassal is, Black stage for tragedies and murders fell! Let me give light, but let me not be light; Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMCMXI - "FAMILIARGHOSTW" Fortune had left to both of us alike And Humphrey with the peers be fall'n at jars: My purpose was for Tarsus, there to strike I cannot, by the progress of the stars, Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth, I hold as little counsel with weak fear A fasting tiger safer by the tooth, Rather to wonder at the things you hear Grief best is pleased with grief's society: Her mother, ever strong against that match O cruel, irreligious piety! Sets down her babe and makes an swift dispatch Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust? MMCMXII - "HICHNIGHTLYGUL" Have I train'd up: those arts they have as I I bought and brought up to attend my sons. Come, side by side together live and die. He has no children. All my pretty ones? Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. I have great hope in that; for in her youth God grant him health! Did you confer with him? Harry the Fifth's the man. I speak the truth. The fringed curtains of thine eye advance Look up a-height. The shrill-gorg'd lark so far Yet, I remember, when I was in France, Good Lord, how like the empress' sons they are! Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. MMCMXIII - "LSHIMWITHINTEL" Let's purge this choler without letting blood: Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; Here stands the spring whom you have stain'd with mud, I must have patience to endure the load: Makes me look dismal will I clip to form; Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans I will stir up in England some black storm Though not for me, yet for your aching bones. Hail, all you state of Greece! what shall be done It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. None of my lord's ring! why, he sent her none. Till he behold them form'd in the applause Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. MMCMXIV - "LIGENCEASVICTO" Lies crafty-sick. The posts come tiring on, I long with all my heart to see the prince: Gentle thou art and therefore to be won, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Now is it manhood, wisdom and defence, Can sick men play so nicely with their names? Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. And York as fast upon your grace exclaims; Supposing it a thing impossible- Visit the speechless sick and still converse I pray, sir, tell me, is it possible Could say she were worse: think you of a worse To do that office of thine own good will O me! come near me now I am much ill. MMCMXV - "RSOFMYSILENCEC" Remember whom you are to cope withal; Saw'st thou not, boy, how Silver made it good Or by the father there were none at all; Fled this way, sir. When by no means he could- Make use of time, let not advantage slip; Your troops of horsemen with his bands of foot; Salt Cleopatra, soften thy waned lip! I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Lend me an arm; the rest have worn me out Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, No masque to-night: the wind is come about; Can truly say he gives, if he receives: Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Consent to pay thee that I never had! MMCMXVI - "ANNOTBOASTIWAS" All kinds of arguments and question deep, Nay, after that, consume away in rust Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! On whom it will not, so; yet still 'tis just. That will not be deep-search'd with saucy looks: By water shall he die, and take his end. O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, Art thou gone so? love, lord, ay, husband, friend! Some stern untutor'd churl, and noble stock Thou shouldst be colour'd thus. You married ones, Is but a quintain, a mere lifeless block. With blood of fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, And shrive you of a thousand idle pranks. See, they encounter thee with their hearts' thanks. MMCMXVII - "NOTSICKOFANYFE" Now, infidel, I have you on the hip. Of dire combustion and confused events There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip, Subject and servile to all discontents, In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Came I to take her from her kindred's vault; King Henry and the prince his son are gone: O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. For I am he am born to tame you, Kate, And monarchs to behold the swelling scene! Nor never more in Russian habit wait. Your lady seeks my life; come you between, For half a hundred years. Summon the town. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. MMCMXVIII - "ARFROMTHENCEBU" All corners of the world: kings, queens and states, Right joyous are we to behold your face, Fall not a tear, I say; one of them rates Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: O Agamemnon, let it not be so! Methought I was enamour'd of an ass. Till his deserts are past, begin to throw Hath told the thievish minutes how they pass, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Nettled and stung with pismires, when I hear Count Claudio, whom you sent me to seek. Even or odd, of all days in the year, Before this earthy prison of their bones; Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? MMCMXIX - "TWHENYOURCOUNT" To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list! Will creep in service where it cannot go. How can she be with him? When was she missed? Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Your lord; myself and other noble friends, One of my fellows had the speed of him, Unless thou couldst return to make amends? Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! Cannot but yield you forth to public thanks, O villain! thy lips are scarce wiped since thou Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. There's reason he should be displeased at it. MMCMXX - "ENANCEFILLDUPH" Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Now, fair one, does your business follow us? And dangerous success of bloody wars, Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Came for additions; yet their purposed trim Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Full of the pasture, jumps along by him I dreamt my master and another fought, Lady, will you walk about with your friend? Let's write good angel on the devil's horn: Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Poor living corse, closed in a dead man's tomb! He stamps and bites the poor flies in his fume. MMCMXXI - "ISLINETHENLACK" If without peril it be possible, Stones have been known to move and trees to speak; Like her! O Isis! 'tis impossible. I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak, Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave, Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Though others have the arm, show us the sleeve; He like a thievish dog creeps sadly thence; Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Nor ever had one penny bribe from France. Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! And for my sake hath learn'd to sport and dance, Content thee, prince; I will restore to thee King, father, royal Dane. O, answer me? MMCMXXII - "DIMATTERTHATEN" Dear life redeems you. You perceive she stirs: In mine own person; holp to reap the fame My lord, I do confess the ring was hers. And when a soldier was the theme, my name The Duke be here to-night? The better! best! To clear this spot by death, at least I give Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live The third part, then, is drunk: would it were all, Hang in the air a thousand leagues from hence, Ay, noble Titus; and resolved withal The Lord's anointed temple, and stole thence Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast? MMCMXXIII - "FEEBLEDMINEFAR" For Henry weeps that thou dost live so long. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Else had she with her father rang'd along. By my soul, a swain! a most simple clown! Laughest thou, wretch? thy mirth shall turn to moan. Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Did lose his lustre: I did hear him groan: Must kings neglect, that private men enjoy! I marvel why her grace did leave it out. Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole Empale him with your weapons round about; For virtue and true beauty of the soul, And nothing is at a like goodness still; Redeeming time when men think least I will. MMCMXXIV - "EWELLTHOUARTTO" Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. What will you do, good grey-beard? break a lance, Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Look on thy country, look on fertile France, Lo, by thy side where Rape and Murder stands; The king shall do it: must he be deposed? Her suit is granted for her husband's lands. Of things to come at large. It is supposed Under your good correction, I have seen, At my depart, these were his very words: Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds The violence of either thee becomes, O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! MMCMXXV - "ODEARFORMYPOSS" O hard-believing love, how strange it seems Desire them an to my pavilion. Extremity still urgeth such extremes. And fertile every wish, a million. Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Five summers have I spent in furthest Greece, O, he sits high in all the people's hearts: Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Mine eyes smell onions; I shall weep anon: Your sovereign greatness and authority. Puts my apparel and my count'nance on, Oh, he is young and his minority Shall wound my honour with such feeble wrong, Speak to great Caesar as he comes along. MMCMXXVI - "ESSINGANDLIKEE" Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Still your own foes, deliver you as most So from himself impiety hath wrought, If you think meet, this afternoon will post Never so much as in a thought unborn Give me some present counsel, or, behold, And these breed honour: that is honour's scorn, Nor none so bad, but it may well be told. Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused Let me excuse thee: ah! my love well knows If friend or foe, let him be gently used. Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MMCMXXVII - "NOUGHTHOUKNOWS" Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Unless by robbing of your friends and us. Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: Higher than both in blood and life, stands up The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds How often hast thou waited at my cup, O, to what purpose dost thou hoard thy words, Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Knighted in field, slain manfully in arms, Now, afore God, 'tis shame such wrongs are borne Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile; Stand back, you lords, and give us leave awhile. MMCMXXVIII - "TTHYESTIMATETH" This gentleman told somewhat of my tale,-- The soldiers should have toss'd me on their pikes Help, hold his brows! he'll swoon! Why look you pale? You still wrangle with her, Boyet, and she strikes Either thou art most ignorant by age, Stain'd with the variation of each soil That one for all, or all for one we gage; It seems then that the tidings of this broil Must first induce you to believe: whose strength And, lo, there falls into thy boundless flood This likes me well. These foils have all a length? England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly He shall be executed presently. MMCMXXIX - "ECHARTEROFTHYW" Except it be to pray against thy foes. Confess the truth, and say by whose advice He hath a person and a smooth dispose And win them too: therefore let us devise Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood There wanteth but a mean to fill your song. Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Out of his subject; and we here dispatch From him that fled some strange indignity, To our fast-closed gates; for at this match, His hand, as proud of such a dignity, Your faithful service and your toil in war; Which I new pay as if not paid before. MMCMXXX - "ORTHGIVESTHEER" Of both is flatter'd; but he neither loves, Reviving blood, and that great men shall press The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, How canst thou urge God's dreadful law to us, God's secret judgment: I did dream to-night Is crack'd, and all the precious liquor spilt, Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight England shall double gild his treble guilt; Shall nothing benefit your knowledge, nor To be entangled with those mouth-made vows, Here's a few flowers; but 'bout midnight, more: Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. MMCMXXXI - "ELEASINGMYBOND" Establish him in his true sense again, Like goodly buildings left without a roof Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, And I, of whom his eyes had seen the proof Some say that ever, 'gainst that season comes It cannot be; some villains of my court No malice, sir; no more than well becomes Go with me; if you like upon report March sadly after; grace my mournings here; Your beauty was the cause of that effect; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! Or rather say, the cause of this defect, Now is it manhood, wisdom and defence, Didst not thou share? hadst thou not fifteen pence? MMCMXXXII - "SINTHEEAREALLD" She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. I have the letter here; yes, here it is. No, Warwick, no; while life upholds this arm, The lands and waters 'twixt your throne and his Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Even for this let us divided live, Arms! Warm o' my troth! I do now let loose Rather than make unprofited return. Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek And thou shalt see how apt it is to learn Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. MMCMXXXIII - "ETERMINATEFORH" Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! To leave that latest which concerns him first, Each one demand an answer to his part Return and tell him so: we know the worst. Mark how he bears his course, and runs me up Is sweet. Nay, you shall fight your hearts out ere Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. As loud as thine rattle the welkin's ear That dog, that had his teeth before his eyes, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; False to his children or his wife's allies O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: He murder cries and help from Athens calls. MMCMXXXIV - "OWDOIHOLDTHEEB" Of amber, crystal, and of beaded jet, Wait you on him, I charge you, as becomes, Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! I shall forget, to have thee still stand there, Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere Or else you would not have bestow'd the heir Lord Angelo hath to the public ear Dulling my lines and doing me disgrace. The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, Here is a thing too young for such a place, Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Brothers, you muse what chat we two have had. MMCMXXXV - "UTBYTHYGRANTIN" Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. The duke cannot deny the course of law: But, as it were, an after-dinner's sleep, You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha! This little abstract doth contain that large His going I could frame to serve my turn, Your gracious self to take on you the charge Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return. Receive it friendly; but from this time forth And be not peevish-fond in great designs. No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Thou map of woe, that thus dost talk in signs! In his anointed flesh stick boarish fangs. No, no; he cannot long hold out these pangs. MMCMXXXVI - "GANDFORTHATRIC" Giving my verdict on the white rose side. All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick. Now much beshrew my manners and my pride, Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: Fear not; 'tis empty of all things but grief; Of what is in her chamber nothing saves Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. Things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves. How were they lost? what treachery was used? As I, not for myself, but for thee will; The queen is put in anger. You're excused: Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill: It cannot be but he was murder'd here; Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear. MMCMXXXVII - "HESWHEREISMYDE" Had I it written, I would tear the word. Even for this let us divided live, Sorry I am to hear what I have heard: We know not where you left him all alive; Have glow'd like plated Mars, now bend, now turn, Else would I very shortly see thee there. Rather than make unprofited return. Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, If thou with Caesar paragon again Since I have ever follow'd thee with hate, Make us partakers of a little gain, Yes, and will nobly him remunerate. Do more than counterpoise a full third part Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMCMXXXVIII - "SERVINGTHECAUS" She that is queen of Tunis; she that dwells Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Is he so hasty that he doth suppose Nerissa and the rest, stand all aloof. Good now, sit down, and tell me he that knows, That we must curb it upon others' proof; Her father and her country and her friends, Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Consider who the king your father sends, And from her tongue 'can lurk' from 'cannot' took: Unto the daughter of a worthless king, So sore as keeping safe Nerissa's ring. MMCMXXXIX - "EOFTHISFAIRGIF" Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Oh, he is young and his minority For so your doctors hold it very meet, To him and his usurp'd authority. How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? I am left out; for me nothing remains. So tender of rebukes that words are strokes Fair Beatrice, I thank you for your pains. And if thine eyes can water for his death, I am a lamb: but if you brave the Moor, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Great tyranny! lay thou thy basis sure, I am afraid my daughter will run mad, For they are harsh, untuneable and bad. MMCMXL - "TINMEISWANTING" They call him Troilus, and on him erect I do beseech ye, if you bear me hard, Nor construe any further my neglect, My army but a weak and sickly guard; Ely with Richmond troubles me more near In this just suit come I to move your grace. So will the queen, that living held him dear. Which my heart knows the wide world's common place? And hellish obstinacy tie thy tongue, Now march we hence: discharge the common sort Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, I should do so: you shall be miss'd at court, Now I perceive they have conjoin'd all three Good parts did you first suffer love for me? MMCMXLI - "ANDSOMYPATENTB" Ah, that this sight should make so deep a wound, Nor, gentle daughter, fear you not at all. Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? So that the ram that batters down the wall, On thee, the troubler of the poor world's peace! Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each Yourself again after yourself's decease, Prescribe to other as each other's leech. And burn sweet wood to make the lodging sweet; That Cupid will impose for my neglect Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect. Tell me, was he arrested on a band? But out of question 'tis Maria's hand. MMCMXLII - "ACKAGAINISSWER" A dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak Cursed be that heart that forced us to this shift! Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. And if the boy have not a woman's gift Go in, and weep not; all things shall be well. And bid my friend, for joy of this good news, I will not trouble thee, my child; farewell. No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose I am content, so thou wilt have it so. She's gone. I am abused; and my relief She modestly prepares to let them know Who is already sick and pale with grief, Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, Richly in both, if justice had her right. MMCMXLIII - "VINGTHYSELFTHO" Very hardly upon such a subject. If Hamlet give the first or second hit, Nothing is good, I see, without respect: Give entertainment to the might of it, The inhospitable Cleon; but I am Have all forsook me, hath devour'd the rest; Your safety, for the which myself and them Send danger from the east unto the west, Each in his office ready at thy beck. Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat From shelves and rocks that threaten us with wreck. To be commenced in strands afar remote. Humphrey of Gloucester? If thou canst accuse, Or you stol'n his? or both? Pray, what's the news? MMCMXLIV - "UGAVESTTHYOWNW" Unless for that he comes to be your liege, Gazing on that which seems to dim thy sight? All preparation for a bloody siege Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Since she is living, let the time run on To have him match'd; and, if you please to like Ten thousand men that fishes gnaw'd upon; Here comes Ancient Pistol and his wife: good You know my mind, I'll fight no more 'gainst Troy. Out-sweeten'd not thy breath: the ruddock would, Wilt thou provoke me? then have at thee, boy! Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims What, must I hold a candle to my shames? MMCMXLV - "ORTHTHENNOTKNO" O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen That doth sustain my house; you take my life He hath found the meaning, for which we mean To give this poor petition to the king, Have aught committed that is hardly borne Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Never so much as in a thought unborn No shape so true, no truth of such account; O hateful error, melancholy's child, The tucket sonance and the note to mount; Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild; No, my good lord; he speaks the common tongue, O spite! too old to be engaged to young. MMCMXLVI - "WINGORMETOWHOM" Why ask I that? my mangled body shows, I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Nor never seek prevention of thy foes. Gentle Lavinia, let me kiss thy lips. O, I am stabb'd with laughter! Where's her grace? Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Most truly limn'd and living in your face, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Thy deed, inhuman and unnatural, Out, devil! I remember them too well: Were all thy children kind and natural! How far your eyes may pierce I cannot tell. O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Misthink the king and not be satisfied! MMCMXLVII - "THOUGAVESTITEL" The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt He would quickly have the gift of a grave. Of egal justice, used in such contempt? Upon my party! Thou cold-blooded slave, Give place: by heaven, thou shalt rule no more Against the brows of this resisting town. Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. Thy will by my performance shall be served: In at his window; set this up with wax Thou canst not speak too much; I have deserved Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Let them be welcome then: we are prepared. MMCMXLVIII - "SEMISTAKINGSOT" See what I do deliver out to each, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Montano and myself being in speech, I will not be denied: sweet heart, look back. See! Antony, that revels long o' nights, The Prince of Wales from such a field as this, And dying eyes gleam'd forth their ashy lights, Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, No more, great empress; Bassianus comes: Gracing the scroll that tells of this war's loss Shall braying trumpets and loud churlish drums, Of double-fatal yew against thy state; Too early seen unknown, and known too late! MMCMXLIX - "HYGREATGIFTUPO" Have broken with the king; who hath so far You might have heard it else proclaim'd about. Go show your slaves how choleric you are, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice And then against my heart he sets his sword, Then thus it must be; this doth Joan devise: Good madam, what's the matter with my lord? If that thou be'st a Roman, take it forth; For terror, not to use, in time the rod To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Under the counterfeited zeal of God, Playing the place which did no form receive, Occasion smiles upon a second leave. MMCML - "NMISPRISIONGRO" Now we are victors; upon us he smiles. Match not the high perfection of my loss: If to come hither you have measured miles, Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Put armour on thine ears and on thine eyes; Resides not in that man that does not think,-- If in the child the father's image lies, Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! I bid them that did love their country's good Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, God knows thou art a collop of my flesh; Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Or mangled shalt thou be by this my sword. MMCMLI - "WINGCOMESHOMEA" Which ne'er came from the lungs, but even thus-- I think he thinks upon the savage bull. Now, fair one, does your business follow us? Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull Come, Balthasar, we'll hear that song again. O, you have lived in desolation here, My doe with the black scut! Let the sky rain Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Should not be utter'd feebly. It is held His viands sparkling in a golden cup, O, how it yearn'd my heart when I beheld May cement their divisions and bind up Each heart in Rome does love and pity you: And he's as tetchy to be woo'd to woo. MMCMLII - "GAINONBETTERJU" Good morrow, sir. You lay out too much pains And you yourself shall steer the happy helm. I am left out; for me nothing remains. No: first shall war unpeople this my realm; O, had the monster seen those lily hands Now do you know the reason of this haste. Beseeching thee, if with they will it stands Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Thy loss is more than can thy portage quit, This accident is not unlike my dream: Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Jove shield your husband from his hounds to-day! Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay! MMCMLIII - "DGMENTMAKINGTH" Dally not with the gods, but get thee gone. Give it to me: what, is it in the case? My life I never held but as a pawn Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived, That scolds against the quality of flesh, Make me, that nothing have, with nothing grieved, A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh Knave with fortune, that she should scratch you, who In this the madman justly chargeth them. Not on thy sole, but on thy soul, harsh Jew, Go therefore, tell thy master here I am; The fouler fortune mine, and there an end. Have lost the wager. Boldness be my friend! MMCMLIV - "USHAVEIHADTHEE" Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Stay, stand apart; I know not which is which. How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, And yet I'll promise thee she shall be rich, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Is this most constant wife; who, even now, Have done! for shame, if not for charity. Ay, and we are betroth'd: nay, more, our, Did see and hear, devise, instruct, walk, feel, Threw my affections in his charmed power, Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMCMLV - "ASADREAMDOTHFL" As Humphrey, proved by reasons, to my liege. Stamp, rave, and fret, that I may sing and dance. All preparation for a bloody siege Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard As offer'd mercy is. What was the last Most honourably doth unhold his word. Did all the chivalry of England move O, ten times faster Venus' pigeons fly To make this banquet; which I wish may prove He has discover'd my design, and I From sun to sun: there is my honour's pawn; Looks on alike. Will't please you, sir, be gone? MMCMLVI - "ATTERINSLEEPAK" At gaming, swearing, or about some act To use my wings. Impute it not a crime They say, poor gentleman, he's much distract. Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws Lays open all the little worms that creep; Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Painting my age with beauty of thy days. As though she bid me stay by her a week; Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. MMCMLVII - "INGBUTWAKINGNO" Is wasteful and ridiculous excess. Nor to his service no such joy on earth. Go with the princes, or stay here with us? Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: The one and other Diomed embraces. Where shall we take a purse tomorrow, Jack? And little stars shot from their fixed places, Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate, I will both hear and grant you your requests. Nature and Fortune join'd to make thee great: Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; Nothing goes right: we would, and we would not. O Perdita, what have we twain forgot! MMCMLVIII - "SUCHMATTERWHEN" She makes it strange; but she would be best pleased Upon a fearful summons. I have heard Comfort, dear mother: God is much displeased He dies, we lose; I break my warlike word; My lord, most humbly on my knee I beg And chastise with the valour of my tongue To tear the garter from thy craven's leg, The oldest have borne most; we that are young Each present lord began to promise aid, Richer than that which four successive kings Why went you not with master doctor, maid? Hover about me with your airy wings Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Nothing so heavy as these woes of mine. MMCMLIX - "THOUSHALTBEDIS" Thou tremblest at, answer that I shall ask; Hector, by this, is arming him in Troy; On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Unarm thee, go, and doubt thou not, brave boy, So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, How fares my brother? why is he so sad? And show us to be watchers. Be not lost Let him be ransom'd: never master had That quarrels at self-breath: imagined worth But that of hand: the still and mental parts, Either for life or death, upon the earth Do we shake hands. All come to this? The hearts I'll swear I am a maid, and he knows not. So great a day as this is cheaply bought. MMCMLX - "POSEDTOSETMELI" Proud scornful boy, unworthy this good gift; O yes, it may; thou hast no eyes to see, Say thou wilt course; thy greyhounds are as swift Either consent to pay this sum for me Death: her death itself, which could not be her That does infect the land: with which they moved Of stirs abroad, I shall beseech you, sir, See you the fornicatress be removed: Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled mirth; My soul is full of discord and dismay. Either for life or death, upon the earth Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, I'll make you quiet. What, cheerly, my hearts! MMCMLXI - "GHTANDPLACEMYM" Gives not the hawthorn-bush a sweeter shade How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid And often at his very loose decides No higher than thyself; the judge's clerk, Distress likes dumps when time is kept with tears. Perplex'd in all. The heavens still must work. Longer than I have time to tell his years! And by me, had not our hap been bad. Commend the paper to his gracious hand, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Madam, not yet: I go to take my stand, You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout My remedy is then to pluck it out. MMCMLXII - "ERITINTHEEYEOF" Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. I will be brief, for my short date of breath The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale, If he do break the smallest particle Nor what is mine shall never do thee good: There shouldst thou find one heinous article, He lives that loves thee better than he could. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Even in the presence of the crowned king. You have not dared to break the holy seal Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Full fourteen weeks before the course of time. MMCMLXIII - "SCORNUPONTHYSI" So do each lord, and either greet him not, Confirm'd, confirm'd! O, that is stronger made Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid No; let him die, in that he is a fox, Upon a fearful summons. I have heard Proclaims you for a man replete with mocks, O my good lord, the world is but a word: Nay, this shall not hedge us out: we'll hear you That she hath thee, is of my wailing chief, Had gone to gaze on Cleopatra too, You hold too heinous a respect of grief. Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote: I am ambitious for a motley coat. MMCMLXIV - "DEAGAINSTMYSEL" Doth too too oft betake him to retire, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. A landless knight makes thee a landed squire. Go, Bushy, to the Earl of Wiltshire straight: And fits the mounting spirit like myself, If he be credulous and trust my tale, Now in good time, here comes the duke himself. Swear in both the scales against either scale; That smiles his cheek in years and knows the trick My soul and body to the skies and ground; Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Say what I think of it, since I have found Even for this let us divided live, Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. MMCMLXV - "FILLFIGHTANDPR" Friend and companion in the front of war, Is not inured; return again in haste; Let those whom Nature hath not made for store, Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Feasts are too proud to give thanks to the gods. In howling wise, to see my doleful plight. God's arm strike with us! 'tis a fearful odds. Her eyes, like marigolds, had sheathed their light, Therefore I took your hands, but was, indeed, And lowly words were ransom for their fault. Not to be gone from hence; for once I read Duke of Alencon, this was your default, Paying more slavish tribute than they owe. Rather than triumph in so false a foe. MMCMLXVI - "OVETHEEVIRTUOU" One minute, nay, one quiet breath of rest. Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast That heals the wound and cures not the disgrace: He shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight It may be good: pride hath no other glass Repair'd with double riches of content. That I may see my shadow as I pass. Under the blow of thralled discontent, Of the most bloody nurser of his harms! Upon my body with their hellish charms? MMCMLXVII - "STHOUGHTHOUART" Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. The skies are painted with unnumber'd sparks, Have wrought the easy-melting king like wax. O cunning, how I got it!--nay, some marks Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; Go, presently inquire, and so will I, Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, The coward horse that bears me fail and die! His letters bear his mind, not I, my lord. Or else return no more into my sight. Under the wrath of noble Hotspur's sword, And by the benefit of his wished light, Reverend youth; and I praise God for you. The loathness to depart would grow. Adieu! MMCMLXVIII - "FORSWORNWITHMI" Foh, foh! come, tell a pin: you are forsworn. O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Worthy his youth and nobleness of birth. O appetite, from judgment stand aloof! Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, No, not a grize; for 'tis a vulgar proof, Whom all France with their chief assembled strength I know I love in vain, strive against hope; To eke it and to draw it out in length, His coming hither hath no further scope Most humbly therefore bending to your state, I'll serve you, sir, five hundred at the rate. MMCMLXIX - "NEOWNWEAKNESSB" Now to the bottom dost thou search my wound: Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Of hostile arms! myself myself confound! Why would he for the momentary trick Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole We will make fast within a hallow'd verge. Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, As well as I am doubtless I can purge Knowing I loved my books, he furnish'd me Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Environed with a wilderness of sea, So should my papers yellow'd with their age Safe mayst thou wander, safe return again! Be you and I behind an arras then. MMCMLXX - "EINGBESTACQUAI" Excited me to treason: their dear loss, If haply you my father do suspect Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, Gods, gods! 'tis strange that from their cold'st neglect Be it my wrong you are from me exempt, Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Scorn and defiance; slight regard, contempt, To answer mildly; for they are prepared And by and by thy bosom shall partake Cries out upon abuses, seems to weep Quiet untroubled soul, awake, awake! Unless thou let his silver water keep And am not I a prelate of the church? If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search. MMCMLXXI - "NTEDUPONTHYPAR" Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Thou shouldst be colour'd thus. You married ones, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? Unless he live until he be a man. Plantagenet shall speak first: hear him, lords; Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Thou'lt torture me to leave unspoken that Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift Your stinking greasy caps in hooting at Proud scornful boy, unworthy this good gift; And make a riot on the gentle brow Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! MMCMLXXII - "TICANSETDOWNAS" These news would cause him once more yield the ghost. If she be furnish'd with a mind so rare, Can have no note, unless the sun were post-- Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, She-wolf of France, but worse than wolves of France, Envenom him with words, or get thee gone The fringed curtains of thine eye advance Did I not bid thee meet me in the park Or rather say, the cause of this defect, What harmony is this? My good friends, hark! Nor construe any further my neglect, Affection? Pooh! You speak like a green girl, She shall be married to this noble earl. MMCMLXXIII - "TORYOFFAULTSCO" That I might sing it, madam, to a tune. Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Yes, madam: yet I cannot choose but laugh, Of all my buried ancestors are packed: From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept Forestall prescience, and esteem no act An offer, uncle, that we will accept: Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. Long since thy husband served me in my wars, The strongest body shall it make most weak, Sail like my pinnace to these golden shores. Come, let us hence, and put on other weeds; O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! MMCMLXXIV - "NCEALDWHEREINI" Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Chiefly that I might set it in my prayers-- Envenom him with words, or get thee gone And by her fair immortal hand she swears, Lest parties, as he is beloved, break out, Deliver him to safety; and return, Where is this king?- Sirs, staid you all without. His going I could frame to serve my turn, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Receiving them from such a worthless post. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, I'll show you here at large. Hark, good mine host. Nor the division of a battle knows I know the man. What is the sum he owes? MMCMLXXV - "AMATTAINTEDTHA" As well appeareth by the cause you come; My Lord of Westminster, be it your charge Another, with his finger and his thumb, The sun will set before I shall discharge That holds this present question in the court? And creep into it far before thy time? If Warwick be so near as men report. Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme Thou mayst be valiant in a better cause; Exposing what is mortal and unsure Discover more at large what cause that was, This paper, thus seal'd up; and, I am sure, Hath set the women on to this complaint: And much effuse of blood doth make me faint. MMCMLXXVI - "TTHOUINLOSINGM" To play with mammets and to tilt with lips: There roar'd the sea, and trumpet-clangor sounds. Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Upon my life, I am a lord indeed, Into the channel, till the lowest stream Now, mistress, profit you in what you read? Levied an army, weening to redeem Of what hath come to pass: for when she saw-- Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw. Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, Give me your hand and say you will be mine. My words are dull; O, quicken them with thine! MMCMLXXVII - "ESHALTWINMUCHG" Establish him in his true sense again, Solicit Henry with her wondrous praise: Hold fast the mortal sword, and like good men And in a bloody battle end thy days! Let York be regent; I will yield to him. Thou drunken slave, I sent thee for a rope; When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim It was, my lord; who lin'd himself with hope, Nay, stay not to expostulate, make speed; More than light airs and recollected terms Unto the judge that begg'd it and indeed Come, come, you forward and unable worms! How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw. MMCMLXXVIII - "LORYANDIBYTHIS" Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace. Out of my lean and low ability Right joyous are we to behold your face, Your bounty, virtue, fair humility: Against my love shall be, as I am now, Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench; Doth grace for grace and love for love allow; If with the sap of reason you would quench, But cheerly seek how to redress their harms. You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, He was but as the cuckoo is in June, I have it ready for thee; here it is. Smiles at her news, while Warwick frowns at his. MMCMLXXIX - "WILLBEAGAINERT" Warwick and Clarence give me both your hands: I tell you, 'twill sound harshly in her ears. Lo, by thy side where Rape and Murder stands; Let me be thought too busy in my fears-- But with a grain a day, I would not buy Envy your great deservings and good name, A visor for a visor! what care I Give me the paper; let me read the same; And down goes all before them. Still be kind, I am a feather for each wind that blows: Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind; Except it be to pray against thy foes. Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! That since have felt the vigour of his rage. MMCMLXXX - "OOFORBENDINGAL" O, when the King did throw his warder down-- Of this his nephew's purpose, to suppress For him, and in his right, we hold this town. Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Be this the whetstone of your sword: let grief Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Notable pirate! thou salt-water thief! Dinner is ready, and your father stays. In a sweet verbal brief, it did concern Now thou dost penance too. Look how they gaze! Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return. And, commendable proved, let's die in pride. Lord of thy presence and no land beside? MMCMLXXXI - "LMYLOVINGTHOUG" Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! More bright in zeal than the devotion which You do unbend your noble strength, to think Lies in his hamstring, and doth think it rich On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such I shall indue you with: meantime but ask Not all these lords do vex me half so much Give even way unto my rough affairs; The day is broke; be wary, look about. Had I as many sons as I have hairs, Of that true hand that fought Rome's quarrel out, Upon the next live creature that it sees. Give us kind keepers, heavens! What were these? MMCMLXXXII - "HTSONTHEETHEIN" Heavy! belike it hath some burden then? That thou return'st no greeting to thy friends? She treads the path that she untreads again; O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, The Roman legions, all from Gallia drawn, Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Thou wear a lion's hide! doff it for shame, His eyes, like glow-worms, shine when he doth fret; Envy your great deservings and good name, If to come hither you have measured miles, Now we are victors; upon us he smiles. MMCMLXXXIII - "JURIESTHATTOMY" Jesu, what haste? can you not stay awhile? Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll In sooth, good friend, your father might have kept Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? See, ruthless queen, a hapless father's tears: That she is busy and she cannot come. He has my heart yet; and shall have my prayers And, like her true nobility, she has Then take my king's defiance from my mouth, Thinking to bar thee of succession, as O prudent discipline! From north to south: Most true it is that I have look'd on truth You're servant to the Count Orsino, youth. MMCMLXXXIV - "SELFIDODOINGTH" Seeming and savour all the winter long: Envy the great nor do the low despise. Let it be lawful that law bar no wrong: For who that's but a queen, fair, sober, wise, I mean your malice, know, officious lords, Do in his name religiously demand Or to the place of diff'rence call the swords Dear earth, I do salute thee with my hand, Or groan for love? or spend a minute's time Into a cloven pine; within which rift Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift, The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows: Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. MMCMLXXXV - "EEVANTAGEDOUBL" Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars; Ne'er feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on That bottled spider, that foul bunch-back'd toad! About it; for it stands me much upon, Go hie thee presently, post to the road: Either of king or council, when you went Disgrace and horror, that, on my command, Of that great shadow I did represent; Unless some dull and favourable hand Be merry, Kate. Some water, here, what, ho! Let all of his complexion choose me so. MMCMLXXXVI - "EVANTAGEMESUCH" England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud. Nay, put out all your hands. Not one word more: The last of all the Romans, fare thee well! And yet it is not that I bear thee love; Go; I'll to dinner: hie you to the cell. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. My hand is ready, may it do him ease. Every man shift for all the rest, and So, now dismiss your army when ye please: Unmanner'd dog! stand thou, when I command: Consisting equally of horse and foot; How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? MMCMLXXXVII - "ISMYLOVETOTHEE" If thou wouldst use the strength of all thy state! So virgin-like without? Lo, here she comes. Might be affronted with the match and weight Yet needfull too; for youth no less becomes Let me give light, but let me not be light; One more, most welcome, makes my number more. Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Each changing place with that which goes before, Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests On thy low grave, on faults forgiven. Dead To reconcile me to his friendly peace: His wonted height, yet ere he go to bed, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Except thou wilt except against my love. MMCMLXXXVIII - "ISOBELONGTHATF" I know, is such a wrest in their affairs Spurns at his love and scorns the heat he feels, On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! Be Mercury, set feathers to thy heels, Every man shift for all the rest, and Look, how you butt yourself in these sharp mocks! O brother, help me with thy fainting hand-- No; let him die, in that he is a fox, Go, presently inquire, and so will I, To make a shaking fever in your walls, Hath dear religious love stol'n from mine eye And so did mine too, as the matter falls; To an unsettled fancy cure thy brains, For our beloved mother in her pains. MMCMLXXXIX - "ORTHYRIGHTMYSE" O, keep me from their worse than killing lust, Resolved for flight. Now were I happy, if Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff; Your monument shall be my gentle verse, Resolvedly more leisure shall express: I pray you, speak not; he grows worse and worse; Go with the princes, or stay here with us? He pours it out; Plutus, the god of gold, Thick-sighted, barren, lean and lacking juice, Men so disorder'd, so debosh'd, and bold Your Highness knows, comes to no further use So is the time that keeps you as my chest, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMCMXC - "LFWILLBEARALLW" Leave me, or tarry, Edward will be king, Flying between the cold moon and the earth, What can mine own praise to mine own self bring? In argument of praise, or to the worth Love is too young to know what conscience is; Like a fine bragging youth, and tell quaint lies, Borrows of the moon, when Diomed keeps his Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: And not the puddle in thy sea dispersed. Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, And in this private plot be we the first Let him be ransom'd: never master had Legitimation, name and all is gone: Why, how now? ho, awake! Why are you drawn? MMCMXCI - "RONGSAYTHATTHO" Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Of soft petitions, pity and remorse, No face is fair that is not full so black.

Where's thy drum? No, not till Thursday; there is time enough. Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough. MMCMXCVI - "ESPEAKOFMYLAME" England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, And you, my sinews, grow not instant old, Knocks go and come; God's vassals drop and die; O rash false heat, wrapp'd in repentant cold, From his moist cabinet mounts up on high, My uncle's will in this respect is mine: Yet I was mortally brought forth, and am Let Henry fret and all the world repine.

I would be so triumphant as I am? MMCMXCIX - "NSTTHYREASONSM" Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done: Since he hath got the jewel that I loved, The father rashly slaughter'd his own son, Then happy I, that love and am beloved How would he hang his slender gilded wings, You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme.

Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MMMI - "THOUCANSTNOTLO" Thy woes will make them sharp, and pierce like mine.

MMMIII - "LFSOILLTOSETAF" Let them obey that know not how to rule; Five summers have I spent in furthest Greece, She was a vixen when she went to school; One that still motions war and never peace, If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayst live; Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth, Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Those of your fact are so--so past all truth: O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar!

Good time of day unto your royal grace! Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, And yet be seen to bear a woman's face? Save when command to your dismission tends, I am a tainted wether of the flock, Love is too young to know what conscience is; Lady, give me your hand, and, as we walk, Means he not us?

Within the guilty closure of thy walls I think affliction may subdue the cheek, Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. It were a better death than die with mocks, When you have pushed out your gates the very I have a king's oath to the contrary. MMMVIII - "LLACQUAINTANCE" Let us sway on and face them in the field. Leap in with me into this angry flood, And the device he bears upon his shield Come, stretch thy chest and let thy eyes spout blood; Quiet thy cudgel; thou dost see I eat. Under your testy humour? By the gods And vaulted with such ease into his seat, I am content that he shall take the odds No point, quoth I; my servant straight was mute.

Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; Except it be to pray against thy foes. MMMIX - "STRANGLEANDLOO" She hearkens for his hounds and for his horn: That, from the sense of all civility, Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, As modest stillness and humility: Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast?

MMMXII - "ANDINMYTONGUET" A private whisper, no, not with such friends Needs must I under my transgression bow, Do, chapels had been churches and poor men's I am not worthy of the wealth I owe, No masque to-night: the wind is come about; May then make all the claim that Arthur did. You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout This lord go to him! Jupiter forbid, Of his bright passage to the occident. Now, Lovell, from the queen what is the news?

MMMXIII - "HYSWEETBELOVED" Haply when they have judged me fast asleep, You stand within his danger, do you not? Shall secretly into the bosom creep When this same lusty gentleman was got.

They may vex us with shot, or with assault. Whose minister you are, whiles here he lived Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Of Pericles, to rage the city turn, Now, for not looking on a woman's face, Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return. As the moon does, by wanting light to give: No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. MMMXVIII - "DHAPLYOFOUROLD" Doth make an earthquake of nobility. Here he comes with your niece: give them way till As modest stillness and humility: Put this in any liquid thing you will, Lest he that is the supreme King of kings You are the hare of whom the proverb goes, Of time, of numbers and due course of things, For what he has he gives, what thinks he shows; Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth; Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense.

MMMXIX - "ACQUAINTANCETE" Ay; or else 'twere hard luck, being in so Can have no note, unless the sun were post-- Quarrel no more, but be prepared to know Upon my death the French can little boast; And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, It was, my lord; who lin'd himself with hope, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; To business with the King, more than the scope And here ye lie baiting of bombards, when No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: Come, Master Shallow; come, son Slender, in. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange That you should seal this lawless bloody book Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. MMMXX - "LLFORTHEEAGAIN" Lives so in hope, as in an early spring Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; Full merrily the humble-bee doth sing, Of my lord's tricks and yours when you were boys: Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows That things might change or cease; tears his white hair, His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes; Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! And so, conduct me where, from company, Give me mine own again; 'twere no good part And shall, or him we will accompany. In measure rein thy joy; scant this excess. Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? MMMXXI - "STMYSELFILLVOW" Shall as a carpet hang upon thy grave, That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke Mains d'un chevalier, je pense, le plus brave, You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep; Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; For death-like dragons here affright thee hard: If he could burn us all into one coal, Long die thy happy days before thy death; Look, who comes here! a grave unto a soul; Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Or else my heart, concealing it, will break; When I against myself with thee partake?

The circumstance I'll tell you more at large. MMMXXIII - "NEERLOVEHIMWHO" Nay, forward, old man; do not break off so; Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Early and late, debating to and fro Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his One sees more devils than vast hell can hold, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Have loved without this mean, if on both parts I will be master of what is mine own- Methinks I should revive the soldiers' hearts, Without a tongue, using conceit alone, Have my old feet stumbled at graves! Who's there? O polish'd perturbation! golden care!

Duke's time; he promised her marriage: his child Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, They told me, here, at dead time of the night, Hath that poor monarch taught thee to insult? And like a dog that is compell'd to fight, Then sit we down, and let us all consult. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Threshold till my lord return from the wars. MMMXXV - "HENHATEMEWHENT" Have vanquish'd the resistance of her youth, Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. Nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth How long is't now since last yourself and I Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: The king and his companions: warily Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Must pity drop upon her. Verily, Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, With words that in an honest suit might move. Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Effect it with some care, that he may prove Never did captive with a freer heart The King of Naples, whosoe'er thou art. MMMXXVI - "HOUWILTIFEVERN" He is no woodman that doth bend his bow One Julia, that his changing thoughts forget, Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou Who when he lived, his breath and beauty set Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; Let me, upon my knee, prevail in this. To make a stale of me amongst these mates? I do beseech you, take it not amiss; For Suffolk, he that can do all in all Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. MMMXXVII - "OWNOWWHILETHEW" O, answer not, but to my closet bring Which, I dare vouch, is more than that he hath, Nay, he must bear you company. The king O cleft effect! cold modesty, hot wrath, Who, peeping forth this tumult to behold, Would without lapsing suffer: nay, sometimes, He ask'd me for a thousand marks in gold: Instructed by the antiquary times, Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck Ever to conquer, and to have his worth The king was slily finger'd from the deck! How shall that faith return again to earth, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Wilt thou be lord of the whole world? That's twice. MMMXXVIII - "ORLDISBENTMYDE" Of my boy's face, methoughts I did recoil Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Leads discontented steps in foreign soil, Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: I'll make you quiet. What, cheerly, my hearts! Straight let us seek, or straight we shall be sought; But that of hand: the still and mental parts, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint To make a stale of me amongst these mates? Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten flint; You may not come, fair princess, in my gates; Distress likes dumps when time is kept with tears. Environed with all these hideous fears? MMMXXIX - "EDSTOCROSSJOIN" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, So much I challenge that I may profess That they take place, when virtue's steely bones Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep. Confess the truth, and say by whose advice Reply not in how many fathoms deep Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. So shaken as we are, so wan with care, Sheathed unaware the tusk in his soft groin. Justice, sweet prince, against that woman there! O, two such silver currents, when they join, Is all the policy, strength and defence, Nor send him forth that we may bear him hence. MMMXXX - "WITHTHESPITEOF" Were not my doors lock'd up and I shut out? Is very snow-broth; one who never feels That turn'd your wit the seamy side without, Hence will I drag thee headlong by the heels That gold must round engirt these brows of mine, He stuck them up before the fulsome ewes, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Some necessaries that I needs must use, Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. Is now most still, most secret, and most grave, That day that made my sister thirteen years. Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon For I attend here: but I'll see you soon. MMMXXXI - "FORTUNEMAKEMEB" Feast-finding minstrels, tuning my defame, O time! thou must untangle this, not I; Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- That ever was survey'd by English eye, Usurps her cheek; she trembles at his tale, No, lady, no; my heart longs not to groan, Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, My thoughts were like unbridled children, grown And heave it shall some weight, or break my back: Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell! Even like a man new haled from the rack, Most veritable; therefore look to't well. England, bound in with the triumphant sea But neither chain nor goldsmith came to me. MMMXXXII - "OWANDDONOTDROP" Of pain: nay, we must think men are not gods, Were he not proud, we all should share with him: A poor earl's daughter is unequal odds, Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. Discredit my authority with yours; Did nearer float upon the swelling tide, O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! Neglect him not; make use now, and provide Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Do, chapels had been churches and poor men's Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt O Brakenbury, I have done those things, Persever not, but hear me, mighty kings. MMMXXXIII - "INFORANAFTERLO" In me at once: but to the brightest beams Notable pirate! thou salt-water thief! Found in his pocket too; and this, it seems, O Warwick, Warwick! I foresee with grief Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem And fall a-cursing like a very drab, Nor should thy prowess want praise and esteem, And sleeps again. This is that very Mab For such disguise as haply shall become To lay a complot to betray thy foes. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Retain that dear perfection which he owes Lord Clifford and Lord Stafford, all abreast, One minute, nay, one quiet breath of rest. MMMXXXIV - "SSAHDONOTWHENM" Sometime 'tis mad and too much talk affords. Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes A goodly humour, is it not, my lords? How would it fare with your departed souls? Doth Lear walk thus? speak thus? Where are his eyes? Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male Now boast thee, death, in thy possession lies Or else his head's assurance is but frail. That dost in vile misprision shackle up Would blow me to an ague, when I thought How often hast thou waited at my cup, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Not so; but it hath been the longest night Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light. MMMXXXV - "YHEARTHATHSCOP" Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, He sends this bloody napkin. Are you he? Err'd in this point which now you censure him, And let your fervor, like my master's, be Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: That which shall break his neck or hazard mine, Here lurks no treason, here no envy swells, And in this vow do chain my soul to thine! To all sins past, and all that are to come, How fain would I have hated all mankind! Seal up your lips, and give no words but mum: Commit to these waste blanks, and thou shalt find O me! come near me now I am much ill. Priests pray for enemies, but princes kill. MMMXXXVI - "EDTHISSORROWCO" Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, That I would all my pilgrimage dilate, Hath told the thievish minutes how they pass, If thou, that bid'st me be content, wert grim, Spotted with strawberries in your wife's hand? Said I for this, the girl was like to him? Of this post-haste and romage in the land. Remuneration for the thing it was; Razing the characters of your renown, O lady, weep no more, lest I give cause Whose bookish rule hath pull'd fair England down. Come daily to the banks, that, when they see Or else I will discover nought to thee. MMMXXXVII - "MEINTHEREARWAR" Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks Either thou art most ignorant by age, I should make very forges of my cheeks, Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. To say thou dost not: therefore tell me true; His currish riddles sort not with this place. Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, And fly like chidden Mercury from Jove, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Who will not change a raven for a dove? And with dead cheeks advise thee to desist Rather than so, come fate into the list. MMMXXXVIII - "DOFACONQUERDWO" Destroy'd his country, and his name remains Or mangled shalt thou be by this my sword. Full of unpleasing blots and sightless stains, All this is so: but what of this, my lord? Cancel all grudge, repeal thee home again, Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase, No rest be interposer 'twixt us twain. Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays, Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live Whilst, like a willing patient, I will drink O, teach me how I should forget to think. MMMXXXIX - "EGIVENOTAWINDY" Exposing what is mortal and unsure God safely quit her of her burthen, and Is able with the change to kill and cure. Virtue he had, deserving to command: Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Nor heel the high lavolt, nor sweeten talk, Out of my sight! thou dost infect my eyes. Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, And when my uncle told me so, he wept, Where, for a monument upon thy bones, It is religion that doth make vows kept; Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, Do you damn others, and let this damn you, Your mother well hath pray'd, and prove you true.

Sometime 'tis mad and too much talk affords. Thy nerves are in their infancy again Wherein we are not destitute for want, Henceforth be never number'd among men!

Remember since you owed no more to time Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down. England, impatient of your just demands, Torment myself to catch the English crown: Till France be won into the Dauphin's hands: Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; Great God of heaven, say Amen to all! Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, I grant I am a woman; but withal Each in his office ready at thy beck. From shelves and rocks that threaten us with wreck. MMMXLVII - "SHAVEDONETHEIR" Save a proud rider on so proud a back. Her suit is granted for her husband's lands. And all they foul that thy complexion lack. Verona shall not hold thee.

So please it you, my lord, 'twere not amiss Or pay you with unthankfulness in thought, Swelling on either side to want his bliss; He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught And then with lank and lean discolour'd cheek, Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. MMML - "LITASTEATFIRST" Let me say no, my liege, an if you please: It did not speak before. All solemn things These are complements, these are humours; these And from the organ-pipe of frailty sings Shall gild her bridal bed and make her rich That in a twink she won me to her love. Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, Askance and strangely: but, by all above, The silver livery of advised age, Force should be right; or rather, right and wrong, If, as his nature is, he fall in rage Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Some two months hence my will shall here be made: The fear of that withholds my present aid. MMMLI - "THEVERYWORSTOF" That she is busy and she cannot come. He faintly flies, sneaking with guilty fear; Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills You i' the camlet, get up o' the rail; What 'tis you go about: to climb steep hills O, sweet my mother, cast me not away! Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Stand back, Lord Salisbury, stand back, I say; That we may be admitted where he is. On forfeit of my hands, my head, my heart: Fifty ways; therefore tremble and depart. MMMLII - "FORTUNESMIGHTA" Filling the air with swords advanced and darts, O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. Remembers me of all his gracious parts, To see him shine so brisk and smell so sweet Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks No, no; when Fortune means to men most good, Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Sell bullocks. But did you think the prince would Myself am struck in years, I must confess; I must unto the road, to disembark Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! Though I show ill in't. So I take my leave. And I'll grow friend with danger. Wear this sleeve. MMMLIII - "NDOTHERSTRAINS" No glory lives behind the back of such. Did not attend him as we rode? I think O Buckingham, now do I play the touch, Than savages could suffer: thou didst drink Have faculty by nature to subsist; Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Rather than so, come fate into the list. Say then, who dost thou mean shall be her king? Then both, or one, or anything thou wilt. Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, And give to dust that is a little gilt If wolves had at thy gate howl'd that stern time, None in the world; nor do I know the man. Speak, nephew, were you by when it began? MMMLIV - "OFWOEWHICHNOWS" O, twice my father, twice am I thy son! From forth the noise and rumour of the field, Worthy of arms! as welcome as to one Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, Enough to stifle such a villain up. Who only by misfortune of the seas How often hast thou waited at my cup, In token of which duty, if he please, Consisting equally of horse and foot; Here is your hand and seal for what I did. Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot, O lady, lady, shame would have it hid! Will I make good against thee, arm to arm, She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. MMMLV - "EEMWOECOMPARED" Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Me see't! I'll in, I'll in.

Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: Pitiful sight! here lies the county slain, And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns.

Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. MMMLVII - "WILLNOTSEEMSOS" With other princes that may best be spared, I did present him with the Paris balls. Let them be welcome then: we are prepared. Like peasant foot-boys do they keep the walls No lord of thine, thou haught insulting man, Of all his wars within the realm of France? That I did never, no, nor never can, Since you are strangers and come here by chance, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Expecting in return twenty for one? Mine honour into lust, to take away Since once he play'd a farmer's eldest son; O, she is rich in beauty, only poor, She shall undo her credit with the Moor. MMMLVIII - "OMEGLORYINTHEI" Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast My Lord of Burgundy, we'll take your oath, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Giving more light than heat, extinct in both Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff Of those physicians that first wounded thee: Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Young blood doth not obey an old decree: I long with all my heart to see the prince: Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. Twelve several times, and I have nightly since His hand, as proud of such a dignity, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, In entertainment to my princely queen. MMMLIX - "RBIRTHSOMEINTH" Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Being mounted and both roused in their seats, I have forgot why I did call thee back. Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. To meet me at the consecrated fount Her face doth reek and smoke, her blood doth boil, Shall touch the people--which time shall not want, Of my boy's face, methoughts I did recoil Matter against him that for ever mars Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. I cannot, by the progress of the stars, Nor aught so good but strain'd from that fair use That him and his they in his palace burn; How could he stay till Warwick made return? MMMLX - "EIRSKILLSOMEIN" Edward and York; then haply she will weep: If old sir Robert did beget us both Reply not in how many fathoms deep She vied so fast, protesting oath on oath, Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. I saw him not these many years, and yet Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Like usury, applying wet to wet, Showing fair nature is both kind and tame; O, that which I would hide from heaven's eye, My age was never tainted with such shame. Embowell'd will I see thee by and by: It shall do well. But yet do I believe Nor wish no less; and so, I take my leave. MMMLXI - "THEIRWEALTHSOM" This letter, then, to Friar Peter give; He couples it to his complaining names. Even for this let us divided live, I would we had a thousand Roman dames Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. With too much urging your pernicious lives, Edward will always bear himself as king: As mine own face. If there be cords, or knives, Let us address to tend on Hector's heels: Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Her other tender hand his fair cheek feels: So sweet a death as hanging presently. One rubb'd his elbow thus, and fleer'd and swore Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more! MMMLXII - "EINTHEIRBODIES" Either they must be dieted like mules Is that we scarce are men and you are gods. Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools. This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir: Eternal numbers to outlive long date. I will not hear her speak; away with her! Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: But must my sons be slaughter'd in the streets, Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats I'll leave you to your fortune and be gone Each changing place with that which goes before, Sweat in this business and maintain this war? MMMLXIII - "FORCESOMEINTHE" For such disguise as haply shall become Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Rather he should shrive me than wive me. Come, Calm thee, and bear the faults of Titus' age, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. She-wolf of France, but worse than wolves of France, Or, Hubert, if you will, cut out my tongue, May any terms acquit me from this chance? East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, I thank my God for my humility. Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. That, from the sense of all civility, Hands and they unwashed too, 'tis a foul thing. Even in the presence of the crowned king. MMMLXIV - "IRGARMENTSTHOU" I tell you, 'twill sound harshly in her ears. Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. And yet I'll promise thee she shall be rich, Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Matter against me; and his eye reviled Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Nor when thy warlike father, like a child, To the conflicting elements exposed, Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem: The mariners say how thou hast disposed Here in Verona, ladies of esteem, Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. Unless thou couldst return to make amends? MMMLXV - "GHNEWFANGLEDIL" Give me my fan: what, minion! can ye not? Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- No, my good lord, for that is not forgot Err'd in this point which now you censure him, With tokens thus, and thus; averting notes For ever and for ever shall be yours. And won her soul; and she, sweet lady, dotes, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Go, take it up unto thy master's use. Let them be free, marry them to your heirs? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears I would your grace would take me with you: whom Let us withdraw into the other room. MMMLXVI - "LSOMEINTHEIRHA" Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: See you, my princes, and my noble peers, Or hide your heads like cowards, and fly hence. My heart hath melted at a lady's tears, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. I am content to look on: what to speak, Neglect him not; make use now, and provide Thou crossest me? what honour dost thou seek He speaks not like a man of God's making. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? I am supposed dead: the army breaking, Repent what's past; avoid what is to come; Had I before known this young man his son, And whither fly the gnats but to the sun? MMMLXVII - "WKSANDHOUNDSSO" We have had pelting wars, since you refused Kill me outright with looks and rid my pain. Saying, some shape in Sinon's was abused; A little to disquantity your train, No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff. Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Or that we would, against the form of law, Uncle, give me your hands: nay, dry your eyes; Now are we well resolved; and, by God's help, Dark as your fortune is, and but disguise Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough Of such misery doth she cut me off. MMMLXVIII - "MEINTHEIRHORSE" Making another head to fight again. Envy your great deservings and good name, Imprison'd thou didst painfully remain Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? Thou thought'st to help me; and such thanks I give How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; Even for this let us divided live, If it be not, then love doth well denote Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from O, rhymes are guards on wanton Cupid's hose: Richard Plantagenet, my lord, will come: Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood. Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MMMLXIX - "ANDEVERYHUMOUR" Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike No, sir, she shall not, though you take her part. Debts wither 'em to nothing; be men like Each Trojan that is master of his heart, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Either of king or council, when you went Religious in mine error, I adore You may be pleased to catch at mine intent Have in these parts from morn till even fought Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Made wit with musing weak, heart sick with thought. One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Under an osier growing by a brook, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. MMMLXX - "HATHHISADJUNCT" His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt And then they drown their eyes or break their hearts. Then Warwick disannuls great John of Gaunt, Have loved without this mean, if on both parts How will she love, when the rich golden shaft If thou art changed to aught, 'tis to an ass. Should so profane the word, that taught me craft As offer'd mercy is. What was the last Do my good morrow to them, and anon John. A strange fish! Were I in England now, Uncle of Winchester, I pray, read on. Needs must I under my transgression bow, Command thy son and daughter to join hands. Take thou that too, with multiplying bans! MMMLXXI - "PLEASUREWHEREI" Pernicious blood-sucker of sleeping men! Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin Establish him in his true sense again, And water cannot wash away your sin. So are those errors that in thee are seen Under your hands and seals: therefore, go on: Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Whom I affect; but she is nice and coy Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Robbing no old to dress his beauty new; Expecting in return twenty for one? I'll give no blemish to her honour, none. MMMLXXII - "NITFINDSAJOYAB" Nothing is good, I see, without respect: I might have look'd upon my queen's full eyes, The ornament of beauty is suspect, False to his children or his wife's allies It provokes the desire, but it takes No, no, my sovereign; Gloucester is a man Doth by the idle comments that it makes Strike sooner than speak, and speak sooner than And on that day at noon whereon he says Just and upright; and, for your royal birth, Of these thy compounds on such creatures as Your son and daughter found this trespass worth A dearer birth than this his love had brought, By fishermen of Corinth, as we thought. MMMLXXIII - "OVETHERESTBUTT" On a dissension of a doit, break out Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Empale him with your weapons round about; Ten years are spent since first he undertook He says they can do nothing in this kind. Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Every man shift for all the rest, and Sleeping neglection doth betray to loss The will, the will! we will hear Caesar's will. Back, slave, or I will break thy pate across. Up Fish Street! down Saint Magnus' Corner! Kill That, like the sun, did make beholders wink? Th'art a tall fellow; hold thee that to drink. MMMLXXIV - "HESEPARTICULAR" His faults lie open to the laws; let them, Early and late, debating to and fro So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Pierced to the soul with slander's venom'd spear, An honest one, I warrant; who deserved Rather to wonder at the things you hear Thy will by my performance shall be served: I say, by sorcery he got this isle; Come, come, we are friends: let's have a dance ere Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style Lord Angelo hath to the public ear And grow big-bellied with the wanton wind; Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. MMMLXXV - "SARENOTMYMEASU" So soon was she along as he was down, And he my husband best of all affects. Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Now thou and I are new in amity, On his head, bearing a long white wand, as To bear the tidings of calamity. My speech and what is done, tell him he has You may as well do anything most hard, My lords of England, let me tell you this: Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard All that is won and lost: give me a kiss; Steal thine own freedom and complain on theft. Upon the right hand I; keep thou the left. MMMLXXVI - "REALLTHESEIBET" Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. And, after some dispatch in hand at court, Let Henry fret and all the world repine. Let liberty make use of; space enough That you affect; and so must you resolve, His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Should so profane the word, that taught me craft Even so void is your false heart of truth. In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, But still sweet love is food for fortune's tooth. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. That means not, hath not, or is not in love! MMMLXXVII - "TERINONEGENERA" That my ability may undergo Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Receives the scroll without or yea or no, I did obey, and sent my peasant home Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; O, teach me how you look, and with what art Now do you know the reason of this haste. Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Good night, good night! as sweet repose and rest Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make No night is now with hymn or carol blest: England we love; and for that England's sake Retain but privilege of a private man? After them! nay, before them, if we can. MMMLXXVIII - "LBESTTHYLOVEIS" Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: But even then the morning cock crew loud, Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, She that was ever fair and never proud, Those eyes that taught all other eyes to see? To take her in her heart's extremest hate, Have sworn for three years' term to live with me You lie, in faith, for you are call'd plain Kate, Let it be who it is: for Romans now O my good lord, the world is but a word: Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard I'll set a bourn how far to be beloved. She is Lavinia, therefore must be loved. MMMLXXIX - "BETTERTHANHIGH" By holy human law, and common troth, Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Till the high fever seethe your blood to froth, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Regard me as I do not flatter, and This sword of mine shall give them instant way Hast thou, according to thy oath and band, Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth Not gross to sink, but light, and will aspire. How coldly those impediments stand forth Imagine Pericles arrived at Tyre, Go bind this man, for he is frantic too. His fame lives in the world, his shame in you. MMMLXXX - "BIRTHTOMERICHE" By how much better than my word I am, In your protectorship you did devise Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them This is a letter of your own device. How he her chamber-window will ascend That makes thee strangle thy propriety: Of health and living now begins to mend, May be put from her by society: Each present lord began to promise aid, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, I had as lief have my mistress a jade. Come hither, little kinsman; hark, a word. His banners sable, trimm'd with rich expense; Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. MMMLXXXI - "RTHANWEALTHPRO" Reply not in how many fathoms deep The pin-buttock, the quatch-buttock, the brawn Haply when they have judged me fast asleep, And she believes, wherever they are gone, Now sways it this way, like a mighty sea With my love's picture then my eye doth feast Either consent to pay this sum for me Add thus much more, that no Italian priest Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. That with the hurly death itself awakes? He took me by the wrist and held me hard; Procure me music ready when he wakes, Redeeming time when men think least I will. O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill! MMMLXXXII - "UDERTHANGARMEN" Under that colour am I come to scale Did he suspire, that light and weightless down Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Razing the characters of your renown, Thou but offend'st thy lungs to speak so loud: Having bought love with such a bloody spoil. And, of so great a favour growing proud, No more the thirsty entrance of this soil God's arm strike with us! 'tis a fearful odds. Against this coming end you should prepare, Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods My youngest boy, and yet my eldest care, Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set No, thou stand'st single, thou'rt not on him yet. MMMLXXXIII - "TSCOSTOFMOREDE" To eat those little darlings whom they loved. Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, Cog their hearts from them, and come home beloved Open as day for melting charity; So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, To cool this heat, a charm to calm these fits. Of great revenue, and she hath no child: Farewell, mad wenches; you have simple wits. Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time? O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Daughter to Charlemain, who was the son Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. MMMLXXXIV - "LIGHTTHANHAWKS" Let him alone, for I remember now I will not speak with him. Say I am sick. Give me assurance with some friendly vow, He hath a garden circummured with brick, Thy unused beauty must be tomb'd with thee, That great Northumberland, then false to him, He was my friend, faithful and just to me: As I would buy thee, view thee limb by limb. Nor tripp'd neither, you base football player? His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. Where I will write. All may be well enough. Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind, Say, didst thou speak with him? know'st thou his mind? MMMLXXXV - "ORHORSESBEANDH" O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Rescue thy mistress, if thou be a man. Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, Once more the engine of her thoughts began: Resolvedly more leisure shall express: She's dead as earth. Lend me a looking glass. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Show'd like an April daisy on the grass, Bonnet to his right use. 'Tis for the head. Even or odd, of all days in the year, And to survey the bodies of the dead. No touch of bashfulness? What, will you tear Doth part his function and is partly blind, Had so much grace to put it in my mind. MMMLXXXVI - "AVINGTHEEOFALL" All hurt behind; backs red, and faces pale Visit the speechless sick and still converse I sent you money, sir, to be your bail, No more such wives; therefore, no wife: one worse, Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift, The life, the right and truth of all this realm Her pretty action did outsell her gift, Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, First, of my word; therefore play, music. Prince, And since, methinks, I would not grow so fast, Let me for this my life-time reign as king. Lies at the mercy of his mortal sting. MMMLXXXVII - "MENSPRIDEIBOAS" My father and my grandfather were kings, Either for life or death, upon the earth No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Steeples and moss-grown towers. At your birth Peter Quince! Flute, the bellows-mender! Snout, Receive it friendly; but from this time forth I have forgot my part, and I am out, During whose reign the Percies of the north, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. If they surcease to be that should survive. Back to the strait that forced him on so fast; Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, A subtle knave! but yet it shall not serve. Shall better speak of you than you deserve. MMMLXXXVIII - "TWRETCHEDINTHI" That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream. Without ripe moving to't? Would I do this? Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. To-morrow I intend to hunt again. Caesar, thou canst not die by traitors' hands, He said the truth: and what said Surrey then? England, impatient of your just demands, Do not as some ungracious pastors do, If he for gold will give us any food; Now tell me, brother Clarence, what think you There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed He murder cries and help from Athens calls. I did present him with the Paris balls. MMMLXXXIX - "SALONETHATTHOU" Shall be applied. For us, we will resign, And such high vaunts of his nobility, Let Henry fret and all the world repine.

Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. As Kate this chamber with her princely gait?

Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Madam, I was not old sir Robert's son: Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. My care is loss of care, by old care done; Of an old tear that is not wash'd off yet: So doth the cony struggle in the net. MMMXCII - "TWRETCHEDMAKEB" There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas Where fearing dying pays death servile breath. Remuneration for the thing it was; Evermore weeping for your cousin's death?

MMMXCVIII - "LONGERTHANTHYL" Let Henry fret and all the world repine. Of moving accidents by flood and field Nor wink, nor nod, nor kneel, nor make a sign, Go to him, Dolabella, bid him yield; Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Than savages could suffer: thou didst drink How long a time lies in one little word! And have is have, however men do catch: Now, by this hand, I gave it to a youth, To cudgel you and make you take the hatch, Harry the Fifth's the man. I speak the truth. Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! MMMXCIX - "OVEWILLSTAYFOR" O that my prayers could such affection move! Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace.

Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. MMMC - "ITDEPENDSUPONT" I must unto the road, to disembark That it will quickly drop; my day is dim.

MMMCI - "HATLOVEOFTHINE" Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, A poor earl's daughter is unequal odds, The king was slily finger'd from the deck! Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods, Or one encompass'd with a winding maze, Virtue he had, deserving to command: Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Only in strokes; but, with thy grim looks and For nothing canst thou to damnation add That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud Half of the number that King Priam had, I tore them from their bonds and cried aloud Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose; Except it be to pray against thy foes. MMMCII - "THENNEEDINOTTO" That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. He hath refused it in the open court: Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him.

Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams?

Of all his people and freeze up their zeal, Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Shall more obey than to the edge of steel To enter in the thoughts of desperate men! Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male For the red blood reigns in the winter's pale. MMMCIV - "WRONGSWHENINTH" Where are my tears? rain, to lay this wind, or Render me worthy of this noble wife! One rubb'd his elbow thus, and fleer'd and swore Never, before this day, in all his life.

Some touches of remorse? or is your blood Which if we should deny, the most just gods Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Nor never seek prevention of thy foes.

MMMCV - "ELEASTOFTHEMMY" Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Let me not to the marriage of true minds Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek And in the visitation of the winds, Since that my case is past the help of law.

Britain is And manacle the bear-ward in their chains, Borrows of the moon, when Diomed keeps his Endue you with the people's voice: remains This sleep is sound indeed; this is a sleep Then threw he down himself, and all their lives Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Rather than render back, out with your knives, Some men there are love not a gaping pig; To suffer all alike.

Great men have reaching hands: oft have I struck Show me a villain that hath done a rape, The noisome weeds, which without profit suck His glassy essence, like an angry ape, And do the murder first: if he awake, No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. MMMCIX - "THATWHICHONTHY" Tim Richard wear the garland of the realm. He solemnly had sworn, that what he spoke And made their bends adornings: at the helm That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke Why such impress of shipwrights, whose sore task Have all his ventures fail'd? What, not one hit? I know the reason, lady, why you ask. Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit; Hath yielded up his body to the grave; One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, The which shall turn you to no further harm Here stood he in the dark, his sharp sword out, You might have heard it else proclaim'd about. MMMCX - "HUMOURDOTHDEPE" Honour'd, belov'd, and haply one as kind Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, Mistake me not; I speak but as I find. Of any kindred action like to this? Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Did never sonnet for her sake compile, O, learn to love; the lesson is but plain, They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds His valour, coin and people, in the wars? Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Patience awhile, good Cassio. Come, come; Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MMMCXI - "NDTHOUCANSTNOT" Now, youthful Troilus, do not these high strains Durst make too bold a herald of my tongue Their warlike fraughtage: now on Dardan plains He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, O, call not me to justify the wrong Upon thy feature; for my rage was blind, Come, now a roundel and a fairy song; And pursy insolence shall break his wind Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats; Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! This morning for ten thousand of your throats No bitterness that I will bitter think, O vanity of sickness! fierce extremes Turns into yellow gold his salt green streams. MMMCXII - "VEXMEWITHINCON" Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; eXpect him here: when he shall come and find Make fearful musters and prepar'd defence, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Which, though I will not practise to deceive, If he see aught in you that makes him like, That sin by him advantage should achieve Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, I cannot, by the progress of the stars, Not what you are, I know it will excuse Come, let us go: we will include all jars Only my blood speaks to you in my veins; No new device to beat this from his brains? MMMCXIII - "STANTMINDSINCE" Shall seize one half his goods; the other half That noble honour'd lord, is fear'd and loved? And yet the steer, the heifer and the calf Now welcome more, and ten times more beloved, To gaze upon the secrets of the deep? Make me but like my thoughts, and I shall prove If thou hast slain Lysander in his sleep, Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Do breed love's settled passions in my heart: She is a theme of honour and renown, If this be magic, let it be an art Now doth she stroke his cheek, now doth he frown, Coldly embracing the discolour'd earth; England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MMMCXIV - "THATMYLIFEONTH" Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Have I in conquest stretch'd mine arm so far, As shore of rock. Attend. This holy fox, Thou nursest all and murder'st all that are: Mains d'un chevalier, je pense, le plus brave, Yea, strike the Dauphin blind to look on us. Let him have time against himself to rave, If I might in entreaties find success-- Faster than gnats in cobwebs; but her eyes,-- Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, O, how her fear did make her colour rise! Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: To see their youthful sons bright weapons wield; Henry is youthful and will quickly yield. MMMCXV - "YREVOLTDOTHLIE" You know that I held Epicurus strong Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Else had she with her father rang'd along. Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Lord, Lord! methought, what pain it was to drown! The greatest of your having lacks a half Did I impale him with the regal crown? O Buckingham, take heed of yonder dog! To think, when thou shalt be disedged by her Having first seized his books, or with a log Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, I saw him not these many years, and yet Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MMMCXVI - "OWHATAHAPPYTIT" O, in a tomb where never scandal slept, Would not the beggar then forget himself? Had all your quarters been as safely kept As are of better person than myself, To try conclusions, in the basket creep Amongst a grove, the very straightest plant; Have I enjoy'd the golden dew of sleep, Ay, what of that? it was my will and grant; Pronounce dishonour of her; by my life, Pell-mell, down with them! but be first advised, You may pace easy, but not such a wife. Treason, my lord! Lavinia is surprised! I got them in my country's service, when Thyself do grace to them, and bring them in. MMMCXVII - "LEDOIFINDHAPPY" Long may he live in fortunes! Shall we in? Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within, O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends In Rome, as well as I. mechanic slaves For it is after midnight; and ere day Into the madness wherein now he raves, Now thou art gone, we have no staff, no stay. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, How mean soe'er, that have their honest wills, As it is known she is, these moral laws Poor pelting villages, sheepcotes, and mills, Playing the mouse in absence of the cat, Your plaintain-leaf is excellent for that. MMMCXVIII - "TOHAVETHYLOVEH" To take the basest and most poorest shape Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made: His glassy essence, like an angry ape, And yokes her silver doves; by whose swift aid Verona, for a while I take my leave, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: This gallant pins the wenches on his sleeve; Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, You were conducted to a gentle bath Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, O cleft effect! cold modesty, hot wrath, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Hands and they unwashed too, 'tis a foul thing. MMMCXIX - "APPYTODIEBUTWH" Are now to have no successive degrees, Peace, cousin Percy; you will make him mad. Put forth disorder'd twigs; her fallow leas You have no children, butchers! if you had, The king and his companions: warily Or, whilst I can vent clamour from my throat, Doomsday is near; die all, die merrily. If it be not, then love doth well denote Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Before the child himself felt he was sick: Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. Why, then, though loath, yet must I be content: Hath often still'd my brawling discontent. MMMCXX - "ATSSOBLESSEDFA" Are of imagination all compact: That set thee on to this desert, am bound Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, So were their daggers, which unwiped we found Of your good pleasure? If it be no more, But that between us we can kill a fly Let those whom Nature hath not made for store, Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Shall curse my bones, and hold it for no sin Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Do glorify the banks that bound them in; For Henry weeps that thou dost live so long. A beast, to bear every knave's wrong. MMMCXXI - "IRTHATFEARSNOB" If love ambitious sought a match of birth, Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves That quarrels at self-breath: imagined worth How smooth and even they do bear themselves! And this for me, struck home to show my strength. That do contrive how many hands shall strike, For taking so the head, your whole head's length. Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Approaching near these eyes, would drink my tears Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Should sunder such sweet friends. Here in her hairs Nay, but be wise: yet we see nothing done; Oft have I heard his praises in pursuit, But low shrubs wither at the cedar's root. MMMCXXII - "LOTTHOUMAYSTBE" Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Of mine own kindred: when I waked, I found That to his borrow'd bed he make retire, To hear the wooden dialogue and sound He came in thunder; his celestial breath O, I could hew up rocks and fight with flint, Unbind my sons, reverse the doom of death; Make them be strong and ready for this hint, Although against her will, as it appears Yes Shylock, I will seal unto this bond. Scorn and derision never come in tears: Those that much covet are with gain so fond, By interception which they dream not of. Except thou wilt except against my love. MMMCXXIII - "FALSEANDYETIKN" Firm and irrevocable is my doom As thou hast lent me wit to plot this drift! Lionel Duke of Clarence: next to whom Say thou wilt course; thy greyhounds are as swift Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. As once Europa did at lusty Jove, No, sir, but hear I do that he hath two: Did ever Dian so become a grove Ye light o' love, with your heels! then, if your Either they must be dieted like mules This happy night the Frenchmen are secure, I am no breeching scholar in the schools, Knock; never at quiet! What are you? But Nothing, my lord: or if--I know not what. MMMCXXIV - "OWITNOTSOSHALL" O hell! to choose love by another's eyes. While she, the picture of pure piety, In your protectorship you did devise That makes thee strangle thy propriety: Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Out on you, owls! nothing but songs of death? To ask the spotted princess how she fares. So she at these sad signs draws up her breath Of your precedent lord; a vice of kings; Speaking in deeds and deedless in his tongue; Hover about me with your airy wings And mine I pour your ocean all among: Lords, with one cheerful voice welcome my love. Let King Cophetua know the truth thereof. MMMCXXV - "ILIVESUPPOSING" I beg this boon, with tears not lightly shed, Let them not live to taste this land's increase I give this heavy weight from off my head Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Shall not be sent: my hand will serve the turn: Unto the climate that they point upon. Play on the lute, beholding the towns burn: Pursued my humour not pursuing his, O, 'tis the curse in love, and still approved, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! Is, as a virtue, fix'd, to-day was moved: Nay, it shall ne'er be said, while England stands, Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands. MMMCXXVI - "THOUARTTRUELIK" There spake my brother; there my father's grave Hath taught us how to cherish such high deeds Of his own body he was ill, and gave Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; And should you fall, he as the next will mount. Revenge upon myself with present moan? Things to strike honour sad. Bid him recount To pluck him headlong from the usurped throne. Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, Uproar the universal peace, confound Even so void is your false heart of truth. Lascivious metres, to whose venom sound In way of marriage: therefore be advised. Known unto these, and to myself disguised! MMMCXXVII - "EADECEIVEDHUSB" Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, During all question of the gentle truce; Either they must be dieted like mules Choked with ambition of the meaner sort: Extinguishing his conduct in this case; I should do so: you shall be miss'd at court, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Destroy'd his country, and his name remains How much I have disabled mine estate, Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Stands not within the prospect of belief, But that I was a journeyman to grief? MMMCXXVIII - "ANDSOLOVESFACE" As his triumphant prize. Proud of this pride, Now will I dam up this thy yawning mouth Did nearer float upon the swelling tide, So honour cross it from the north to south, Or with a little shuffling, you may choose Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: Or overthrow incurable ensues. Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Sharp Buckingham unburthens with his tongue For ever may my knees grow to the earth, A poor unmanly melancholy sprung Consent upon the order of their fight, Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMCXXIX - "MAYSTILLSEEMLO" Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks; And golden Phoebus never be beheld Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex: Should not be utter'd feebly. It is held Thrice hath this Hotspur, Mars in swathling clothes, I speak of Africa and golden joys. Laid gifts before him, proffer'd him their oaths, Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; Shall touch the people--which time shall not want, England we love; and for that England's sake Each cheek a river running from a fount May enter 'twixt the gap of both and take Look sweet, be fair, become disloyalty; O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? MMMCXXX - "VETOMETHOUGHAL" Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; The knee before him, and returns in peace O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! Make known to you why I have done this. Come, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; To that destruction which I'll guard them from, Have broken with the king; who hath so far One grave shall be for both: upon them shall Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; God save thy Grace, King Hal; my royal Hal! He hath not money for these Irish wars, And gazed for tidings in my eager eyes, Lady, with me, with me thy fortune lies. MMMCXXXI - "TERDNEWTHYLOOK" To be afraid to tell graybeards the truth? Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Remains in danger of her former tooth. Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Who, impotent and bedrid, scarcely hears Though they are made and moulded of things past, Hath newly pass'd between this youth and me. You love my son; invention is ashamed, Looking on darkness which the blind do see O Mistress Ford, what have you done? You're shamed, On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. MMMCXXXII - "SWITHMETHYHEAR" She throws her eyes about the painting round, Where folly now possesses? Do thou work: In that word's death; no words can that woe sound. There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. Her hair, like golden threads, play'd with her breath; Master, go on; and I will follow thee Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Thou call'st on him that hates thee. It was he He chafes her lips; a thousand ways he seeks Your son, my lord, has paid a soldier's debt: Hector, in view of Trojans and of Greeks, Else one self mate and mate could not beget A pox on't, let it go; 'tis but a drum. Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! MMMCXXXIII - "TINOTHERPLACEF" This king to Tarsus,--think his pilot thought; I tore them from their bonds and cried aloud Now she unweaves the web that she hath wrought; O, world, how apt the poor are to be proud! There's matter in these sighs. These profound heaves How often said, my dignity would last Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Put on what weary negligence you please, Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! A pair so famous. High events as these Charles, and the rest, it is enacted thus: Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Fold in the object that did feed her sight. MMMCXXXIV - "ORTHERECANLIVE" Offend you, and obey you, as I did. Rather than make unprofited return. This lord go to him! Jupiter forbid, Have glow'd like plated Mars, now bend, now turn, Early and late, debating to and fro Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Consideration, like an angel, came And we must root him out. From your affairs Nor was not to be equall'd;'--thus your verse Let me but bear your love, I'll bear your cares. If honour may be shrouded in a hearse, Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMCXXXV - "NOHATREDINTHIN" No, this thrice worthy and right valiant lord Of those that served Mark Antony but late, Hippolyta, I woo'd thee with my sword, And bid Bianca make her ready straight; To have them fall no more: you some permit Rancour will out: proud prelate, in thy face Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Do you your office, or give up your place, In single opposition, hand to hand, No more my grief, in such a precious loss. There pleading might you see grave Nestor stand, Henry the Fifth: whiles they each other cross, I know not where is that Promethean heat Nothing but sit and sit, and eat and eat! MMMCXXXVI - "EEYETHEREFOREI" Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Environed with all these hideous fears? You know that you are Brutus that speak this, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Things growing to themselves are growth's abuse: Hates any man the thing he would not kill? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Reserve their character with golden quill Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Fouler than heart can think thee, thou canst make Of either's colour was the other queen, Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Exposing what is mortal and unsure Is able with the change to kill and cure. MMMCXXXVII - "NTHATICANNOTKN" Nay, gentlemen, prepare not to be gone; To me she's married, not unto my clothes. Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. And tell me, then, have you not broke your oaths? Three days before: but this from rumour's tongue I am his first-born son, that was the last Come, boy, and go with me: thy sight is young, A royal battle might be won and lost Never go home; here starve we out the night.

MMMCLIX - "YSHOWTHEYTHATH" Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, Set in a note-book, learn'd, and conn'd by rote, His form and cause conjoin'd, preaching to stones, Or rudely visit them in parts remote, Why, how now, Kate, I hope thou art not mad! That worse than Tantalus' is her annoy, How fares my brother? why is he so sad? Each opposite that blanks the face of joy You speak, Lord Mowbray, now you know not what.

Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day, Doth valour's show and valour's worth divide On twenty bloody blocks, he'ld yield them up, Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch: O, let those cities that of plenty's cup No settled senses of the world can match Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Thy father was a traitor to the crown. MMMCLXII - "HATDONOTDOTHET" His regiment lies half a mile at least And swear unto my soul to right your wrongs. That ever holds: who riseth from a feast Disdaining duty that to us belongs. O, world, how apt the poor are to be proud!

What reply, ha? What Your breath of full consent bellied his sails; Most true, forsooth; and many time and oft O hard-believing love, how strange it seems Safe out of fortune's shot; and sits aloft, The sweetest sleep, and fairest-boding dreams Drunk me would have bought me lights as good cheap Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep. MMMCLXIV - "SHOWWHOMOVINGO" Should have thus little mercy on their flesh? Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! Why, now, blow wind, swell billow and swim bark! Which I have told thee, of my father's death. Have some unhappy passenger in chase. Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. My most dread sovereign, may it like your grace O, world, how apt the poor are to be proud! Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth.

Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Marcus, unknit that sorrow-wreathen knot: Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; Extremity still urgeth such extremes. MMMCLXVI - "LVESASSTONEUNM" Let's see once more this saying graved in gold Very hardly upon such a subject. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect As flowers dead lie wither'd on the ground, So shall I live to speak my father's words: She would, he will not in her arms be bound; The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Nothing can come of nothing. Speak again. Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Until you see her die again; for then Never, before this day, in all his life. My wife! my wife! what wife? I have no wife.

The boy gives warning something doth approach. MMMCLXVIII - "EMPTATIONSLOWT" Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Meet what I would have well, and it destroy, Profess'd to him, why, his revenges must This Trojan scorns us; or the men of Troy Although I think 'twas in another sense- The orphan pines while the oppressor feeds; I came to kill thee, cousin, and bear hence O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! Not I, my lord; sith true nobility Sir Valentine, your father's in good health: Leave off discourse of disability: Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Which she perused, sigh'd, tore, and gave the flood; Then be at peace except ye thirst for blood. MMMCLXIX - "HEYRIGHTLYDOIN" Hath wrought the mure that should confine it in Each one demand an answer to his part Yet now they fright me. There is one within, Rome's royal mistress, mistress of my heart, I see these witches are afraid of swords. Go; speak not to me; even now be gone. How far into the morning is it, lords? That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, Let God for ever keep it from my head, Your beauty was the cause of that effect; Dead to infliction, to themselves are dead; Or rather say, the cause of this defect, Is Clarence dead? the order was reversed. Nay, let it rest where it began at first. MMMCLXX - "HERITHEAVENSGR" Hath rung night's yawning peal, there shall be done Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none.

Go forward; this contents; Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. MMMCLXXI - "ACESANDHUSBAND" Ajax, your guard, stays to conduct you home. Courage enough: I do not fear the flaw; Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Should in the furthest east begin to draw And tell me how thou hast disposed thy charge. No sooner had they told this hellish tale, Do not, in grant of all demands at large, Had not their bark been very slow of sail; Unpeg the basket on the house's top, Study to break it and not break my troth. Because I am the store-house and the shop And should he doubt it, as no doubt he doth, Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is. MMMCLXXII - "NATURESRICHESF" None in the world: you did mistake him, sure. And make it but a shadow, as I am. The issue of an irreligious Moor, Unless my hand and strength could equal them. Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: So many greedy looks of young and old Reignier, her father, to the king of France Infected be the air whereon they ride; Came then into my mind, and yet my mind His over-mounting spirit, and there died, Expect him here: when he shall come and find So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon, For I attend here: but I'll see you soon.

He shall not hear thee; or from Caesar's camp Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Yet who knows not conscience is born of love? MMMCLXXIV - "ARETHELORDSAND" A single voice; and that not pass'd me but Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha?

MMMCLXXV - "OWNERSOFTHEIRF" O, is it so? But why commands the king Whose bloody deeds shall make all Europe quake. Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Remuneration for the thing it was; So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! O lady, weep no more, lest I give cause Fortune had left to both of us alike The meat is cold because you come not home; Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Foh, foh! come, tell a pin: you are forsworn. MMMCLXXVI - "ACESOTHERSBUTS" As that the sin hath brought you to this shame, Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Envy your great deservings and good name, Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Or by what means got'st thou to be released? Tush, my good lord, this superficial tale His regiment lies half a mile at least Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.

The miserable change now at my end Stand gracious to the rites that we intend! MMMCLXXVII - "TEWARDSOFTHEIR" To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Wherein we are not destitute for want, And with his former title greet Macbeth. Rescue thy mistress, if thou be a man. Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come. Speak, nephew, were you by when it began? O, why should wrath be mute, and fury dumb? From cold and empty veins, where no blood dwells; They join and shoot their foam at Simois' banks. He should have had a volume of farewells; Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks I hold it fit that we shake hands and part; Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. MMMCLXXVIII - "EXCELLENCETHES" Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, eXcept mine own name: that some whirlwind bear Cries 'Excellent! 'tis Agamemnon just. Environ you, till mischief and despair Look here upon th's picture, and on this, Look, how you butt yourself in these sharp mocks! Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. No; let him die, in that he is a fox, Cry, Trojans, cry! practise your eyes with tears! Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, These words like daggers enter in mine ears. How some men creep in skittish fortune's hall, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Shall we hear from thee, Tyrrel, ere we sleep? MMMCLXXIX - "UMMERSFLOWERIS" Under the shade of melancholy boughs, More grave and wrinkled than the aims and ends My daughter might have been: my queen's square brows; Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, For still temptation follows where thou art. Leaving thee living in posterity? Or bends with the remover to remove: Welcome is peace, if he on peace consist; Effect it with some care, that he may prove Rather than so, come fate into the list. If it were yours by none of all these ways, Shall in procession sing her endless praise.

He is prepared, and reason too he should: End in one purpose, and be all well borne Say to the king the knowledge of the broil Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Makes merit her election, and doth boil, My house was at the Phoenix? Wast thou mad, England is safe, if true within itself? Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, So many hours must I sport myself; Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMCLXXXI - "ETTHOUGHTOITSE" Exception bid him speak, and at this time These antique fables, nor these fairy toys. To use my wings. Impute it not a crime He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys Or I could make a prologue to my brains, Upon thy words, that kill mine eye and heart! Good morrow, sir. You lay out too much pains How can I then be elder than thou art? Thou wilt but add increase unto my wrath. O husband, God doth know you dined at home; In all reason should have quenched her love, hath, Tears of true joy for his return to Rome. So well as by reflection, I, your glass, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMCLXXXII - "LFITONLYLIVEAN" Lead to the Sagittary the raised search; Free, madam! no; I made no such report: If ever been where bells have knoll'd to church, This is the English, not the Turkish court; O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Not Gaunt's rebukes, nor England's private wrongs, Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs, Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet. Intends his journey; and within three days Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, And I shall here abide the hourly shot No, mighty liege; therefore mistrust me not. MMMCLXXXIII - "DDIEBUTIFTHATF" Did to thy father, steep'd in Rutland's blood,-- Did Jessica steal from the wealthy Jew Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Each way and move. I take my leave of you: But tell me then, 'tis so; for, look thy cheeks Unless by robbing of your friends and us. That not your trespass but my madness speaks. If that same demon that hath gull'd thee thus For his advantage that I dearly love. The King of Scots; whom she did send to France, Hath to the marbled mansion all above And, for an onset, Titus, to advance This loathsome sequestration have I had: For they are harsh, untuneable and bad. MMMCLXXXIV - "LOWERWITHBASEI" Look to thy bark: I'll not be long before Or else he never would compare between. Which after him she darts, as one on shore Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; When what's not meet, but what must be, was law, I am no baby, I, that with base prayers The Duke of Buckingham's surveyor, ha? Here, Marcus, fold it in the oration; But rather one that smiles and still invites And quench his fiery indignation Some five or six and thirty of his knights, Either to die the death or to abjure It is not lost; but what an if it were? MMMCLXXXV - "NFECTIONMEETTH" Next month? and are they not some of them set For you must know, we have with special soul Else one self mate and mate could not beget Can yet the lease of my true love control, The Grecian youths are full of quality; I must have patience to endure the load: Of both your armies; whose equality Never hung poison on a fouler toad. My queen and son are gone to France for aid; Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, That should but rive an oak. Why dost not speak? The ship is in her trim; the merry wind How fain would I have hated all mankind! MMMCLXXXVI - "EBASESTWEEDOUT" Extremity of griefs would make men mad; But ever puny whipster gets my sword: And wear it in my heart. Why, then, be sad; So will I grow, so live, so die, my lord, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Save that, for reverence to some alive, Thy brother Marcus tenders on thy lips: Why uncle, thou hast many years to live. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Either to get the town again or die: Did move your greatness and this noble state O fairest beauty, do not fear nor fly!

Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged. Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: My lord, I'll tell you; that self bill is urged, Witness the fortune he hath had in France. On the unsteadfast footing of a spear. Lest, to thy peril, thou aby it dear.

The interruption of their churlish drums His sons he there proclaim'd the kings of kings: Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt, Whiles, like a doe, I go to find my fawn, Or lose mine arm fort: thou hast beat me out Unspeak mine own detraction, here abjure Look, Marcus! ah, son Lucius, look on her! MMMCCLVI - "DSTUSETHESTREN" Deserve as full as fortunate a bed Sit, my preserver, by thy patient's side; Though mine be not so fair, yet are they red-- Under your pardon. You must note beside, Strike up our drums, pursue the scatt'red stray. Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought This door is open; he is gone this way. He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught Else you may be marvellously mistook.

MMMCCLX - "ORTASTHOUBEING" O, in a tomb where never scandal slept, Repeat their semblance often on the seas, The key whereof myself have ever kept; And in this thought they find a kind of ease, Show me a villain that hath done a rape, Take comfort: he no more shall see my face; His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Or it will seek me in another place, Uncertain of the issue any way. But by reflection, by some other things. Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. I like this fair proceeding of the King's. Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their course Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse. MMMCCLXI - "MINEMINEISTHYG" May make a peaceful and a sweet retire I rather will suspect the sun with cold Nor heady-rash, provoked with raging ire, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Made wit with musing weak, heart sick with thought. I am an officer of state, and come Nor doth he of himself know them for aught Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum?

MMMCCLXII - "OODREPORTHOWLI" O thou, the earthly author of my blood, Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves Deep woes roll forward like a gentle flood, Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Pawn'd honest looks, but laid no words to gage. Or is the adder better than the eel Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! These Kentish rebels would be soon appeased! Have any resting for her true king's queen. O, make a league with me, till I have pleased Which by my Lord of Winchester we mean Like fragments in hard voyages, became I shall receive the money for the same.

I hear him, mistress. fly, be gone! And he shall wear his crown by sea and land, The Roman legions, all from Gallia drawn, How could he stay till Warwick made return?

MMMCCLXIV - "YABSENCEBEENFR" You chide at him, offending twice as much; An offer, uncle, that we will accept: But, if there be, or ever were, one such, Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, Either of king or council, when you went No, my good Lord; he hath forsook the court, Convey me Salisbury into his tent, Except some petty towns of no import: Behoves it us to labour for the realm. Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Now is my day's work done; I'll take good breath: Fair creature, kill'd too soon by death's sharp sting! Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. MMMCCLXV - "OMTHEETHEPLEAS" O cunning, how I got it!--nay, some marks Mistress, dispatch you with your safest haste, The skies are painted with unnumber'd sparks, How much salt water thrown away in waste, End in one purpose, and be all well borne Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? These oaths and laws will prove an idle scorn. Have after. To what issue will this come? Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Prayers. Fare you well, my lord; and believe this Let two more summers wither in their pride, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. As presence did present them; him in eye, So sure I swear to get the town or die. MMMCCLXVI - "UREOFTHEFLEETI" Unto thy value I will mount myself Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Of noble blood in this declining land. Five hundred were but yesterday dubb'd knights: This letter, then, to Friar Peter give; His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights, Even for this let us divided live, For then my thoughts, from far where I abide, Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Except it be to pray against thy foes. Than those I shed for him. What was he like? I have not sought the day of this dislike. MMMCCLXVII - "NGYEARWHATFREE" No, not a whit: what! I have watch'd ere now Grace, I hope: that were a trick indeed! but Your mother lives a witness to that vow-- Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What And I to thee engaged a prince's word, Remember whom you are to cope withal; With my two daughters' dowers digest this third; Henry the Eighth, life, honour, name and all And then the king will court thee for his dear; The reason that I gather he is mad, For here's a young and sweating devil here, Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Enough to purchase what you have made known. MMMCCLXVIII - "ZINGSHAVEIFELT" Zounds, I will speak of him; and let my soul I shall remember more. Bid him--ah, what?-- Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole Grace, I hope: that were a trick indeed! but Sir Valentine, your father's in good health: Here's for my oath, here's for my father's death. A merchant of incomparable wealth. Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Extremity still urgeth such extremes. I know you wise, but yet no farther wise Found in his pocket too; and this, it seems, Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, To suffer with him. Good love, call him back. MMMCCLXIX - "WHATDARKDAYSSE" What counsel give you in this weighty cause? Hath given me some worthy cause to wish And that it was great pity, so it was, To put good meat into an unclean dish. Darest with thy frozen admonition And so I would be here, but that I doubt Remember so weak a composition. Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out: Doth make an earthquake of nobility. And lastly, to confirm that amity Your bounty, virtue, fair humility: Sticking together in calamity. So sure I swear to get the town or die. Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MMMCCLXX - "ENWHATOLDDECEM" Each changing place with that which goes before, Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, With purpose presently to leave this war. Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Ah, what a shame were this! Look on the boy; The studded bridle on a ragged bough Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou Does not divide the Sunday from the week. Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves! Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows My vows are equal partners with thy vows. MMMCCLXXI - "BERSBARENESSEV" Both truth and beauty on my love depends; England we love; and for that England's sake Return, return, and make thy love amends. Such hazard now must doting Tarquin make, By how much better than my word I am, A day in April never came so sweet, Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet No, not to stay the finding of the axe, England did never owe so sweet a hope, Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Each changing place with that which goes before, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? MMMCCLXXII - "ERYWHEREANDYET" Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Rescue those breathing lives to die in beds, Yet with the fault I thus far can dispense; Will rain hot vengeance on offenders' heads. He has no children. All my pretty ones? Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Romans, of five and twenty valiant sons, Excepting one, I would he were the best Ay, noble uncle, thus ignobly used, No, Warwick, no; while life upholds this arm, Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused You know an enemy intends you harm; Each in his office ready at thy beck. The king was slily finger'd from the deck! MMMCCLXXIII - "THISTIMEREMOVE" The world's a huge thing: it is a great price. He calls me to a restitution large If you will take a homely man's advice, She had her breeding at my father's charge. To banish your defenders; till at length In limited professions. Rascal thieves, My daughter! what of her? Renew thy strength: Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Revive, look up, or I will die with thee! Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Madam my interpreter, what says she? Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMCCLXXIV - "DWASSUMMERSTIM" Dies not alone, but like a gulf doth draw Which he enforced from me, away he posts As those poor birds that helpless berries saw. Sky-planted batters all rebelling coasts? She holds her virtue still and I my mind. Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind, Make verbal repetition of her moans; Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar Too great oppression for a tender thing. I have a servant comes with me along, Mine shall not do his Julia so much wrong. MMMCCLXXV - "ETHETEEMINGAUT" Either thou art most ignorant by age, There's matter in these sighs. These profound heaves He that stirs next to carve for his own rage Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Than those I shed for him. What was he like? Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Myself will straight aboard: and to the state If he improve them, may well stretch so far Nay, he must bear you company.

MMMCCLXXVII - "INCREASEBEARIN" It is your pleasure to command me in. Never can blab, nor know not what we mean. Come hither, fellow: which way hast thou been? Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought And unregarded age in corners thrown. Straight let us seek, or straight we shall be sought; Enough to purchase what you have made known. But stay'd and made the western welkin blush, Endue you with the people's voice: remains An advocate for an imposter! hush! Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains In iron walls they deem'd me not secure; None in the world: you did mistake him, sure. MMMCCLXXVIII - "GTHEWANTONBURD" Go quick away; the story of my life The text is old, the orator too green. His art with nature's workmanship at strife, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Were very pregnant and potential spurs As I have such a heart that both mine ears No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. That I have? He would drown the stage with tears O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Before his sister should her body stoop Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. Reprove my allegation, if you can; Do challenge thee to trial of a man. MMMCCLXXIX - "ENOFTHEPRIMELI" Effect it with some care, that he may prove Nor God, nor I, delights in perjured men. Or bends with the remover to remove: Food for his rage, repasture for his den. That might annoy my finger? 'tis so strange, Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Poor rogue hereditary. Hence, be gone! Reverend youth; and I praise God for you. In spite of spite, alone upholds the day. May this be possible? may this be true? Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Look, when I vow, I weep; and vows so born, It were no match, your nail against his horn. MMMCCLXXX - "KEWIDOWDWOMBSA" Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Well said, my lord! well, you say so in fits. I say, without characters, fame lives long. Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Or how haps it I seek not to advance What might you think? No, I went round to work Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, Which made the fault that we cannot correct, On this side my hand, and on that side yours. Make livers pale and lustihood deject. Be hang'd up for example at their doors: Show me a villain that hath done a rape, As crooked in thy manners as thy shape! MMMCCLXXXI - "FTERTHEIRLORDS" Fortune, good night; smile once more, turn thy wheel. To say this boy were like me. Come, sir page, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! The grappling vigour and rough frown of war Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash, Each changing place with that which goes before, If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trash Remaining in the coffer of her friends, Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Do so. This jest shall cost me some expense. Some blessed power deliver us from hence! MMMCCLXXXII - "DECEASEYETTHIS" Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Come, come with me, and we will make short work; Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought And to proclaim it civilly, were like Such are the poor, in health--or else a feast, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, You are for dreams and slumbers, brother priest; Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Then belike my children shall have no names: To fine the faults whose fine stands in record, His grandam's wrongs, and not his mother's shames, It is a nipping and an eager air. So thou destroy Rapine and Murder there. MMMCCLXXXIII - "ABUNDANTISSUES" As that ungentle hull, the cuckoo's bird, But shall be render'd to your public laws Upon a fearful summons. I have heard Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? And scarr'd the moon with splinters: here I clip No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip, It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity, Stew'd in his haste, half breathless, panting forth Seeming to bury that posterity Under the lordly monarch of the north, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! MMMCCLXXXIV - "EEMDTOMEBUTHOP" Ere twice in murk and occidental damp Envy the great nor do the low despise. Moist Hesperus hath quench'd his sleepy lamp, Dark as your fortune is, and but disguise That holds his honour higher than his ease, O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! May through the centre creep and so displease Else shall you not have any hand at all But men are men; the best sometimes forget: Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: Than thou of them.

MMMCCCLVI - "ERYHADANNEXDTH" Either be gone before the watch be set, Reply not in how many fathoms deep You speak not like yourself; who ever yet How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, And let me buy your friendly help thus far, Drown desperate sorrow in dead Edward's grave, A mighty and a fearful head they are, Nor other satisfaction do I crave, No night is now with hymn or carol blest: Except thou wilt except against my love. eXcepting one, I would he were the best Do you set down your name in the scroll of To creatures stern sad tunes, to change their kinds: He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. MMMCCCLVII - "YBREATHBUTFORH" You more invest it! Ebbing men, indeed, Back, slave, or I will break thy pate across. Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: Excited me to treason: their dear loss, As shall to thee blot out what wrongs were theirs There left behind and settled certain French; Hear him debate of commonwealth affairs, But, like a misbehaved and sullen wench, Under what colour he commits this ill.

I shall split all Which reformation must be sudden too, Three thousand ducats; 'tis a good round sum. He'll tell me all his purpose: sure, he'll come. MMMCCCLX - "AVENGEFULCANKE" As, painfully to pore upon a book Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Not knowing what they fear, but full of fear: Go great with tigers, dragons, wolves, and bears; England is safe, if true within itself?

MMMCCCLXV - "TORCOLOURITHAD" Then pause not; for the present time's so sick, Only my blood speaks to you in my veins; Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: O, in this love, you love your child so ill, Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, O indistinguish'd space of woman's will! Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods! I'll nothing do on charge: to her own worth Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, Here let us rest, if this rebellious earth And placed a quire of such enticing birds, Delivered up again with peaceful words? MMMCCCLXVI - "STOLNFROMTHEEW" Shame and confusion! all is on the rout; They fell together all, as by consent; Of a glad father compass thee about!

Not only, sir, this your all-licens'd fool, Go to thy lady's grave and call hers thence, The daughter of a king, my drops of tears Only, in lieu thereof, dispatch me hence. Sir, pardon; 'tis for Agamemnon's ears. Perchance some single vantages you took. Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. MMMCCCLXX - "AKOFTHATWHICHG" A man whom both the waters and the wind, Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, For, like an ass whose back with ingots bows, To lesson me and tell me some good mean Ha, ha! how vilely doth this cynic rhyme! A precious thing: I had it from the queen. This is the day that, in King Edward's time, Were all thy children kind and natural! His tears proclaim'd his, parting with her: thence, It is a quarrel most unnatural, Come on, you thick lipp'd slave, I'll bear you hence; Help! help, ho! help! O lady, speak again! Graves only be men's works and death their gain! MMMCCCLXXI - "IVESTHEEALLTHY" Into this gaping hollow of the earth? Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Some catch her by the neck, some kiss her face, This is a strange repose, to be asleep He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Am I Rome's slave? What penny hath Rome borne, Like one I loved indeed. What were thy friends? Lest she should steal a kiss and die forsworn.

MMMCCCLXXII - "MIGHTSPENDSTTH" May enter 'twixt the gap of both and take I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Give me your gloves, I'll wear them for your sake; Here comes the lady: O, so light a foot That makes her blood look out: good sooth, she is She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Painted cloth, where the glutton's dogs licked his Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Not measuring what use we made of them.

To take advantage on presented joy; He hears naught privately that comes from Troy. MMMCCCLXXIII - "OUTHYFURYONSOM" O, speak no more, for I have heard too much. Until my eyelids will no longer wag.

Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair O, teach me how you look, and with what art Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, That I may kindly give one fainting kiss. His greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own; Look here upon th's picture, and on this, Enough to purchase what you have made known. So slight a valuation, should reserve Speak to great Caesar as he comes along. Shall better speak of you than you deserve. O for your reason! quickly, sir; I long. Now march we hence: discharge the common sort Go, call before me all the lords in court. MMMCCCLXXV - "DARKENINGTHYPO" Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch: Are not you moved, when all the sway of earth Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Knights of the garter were of noble birth, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. No, by my troth, I did not mean such love. I smell sweet savours, and I feel soft things. No more than I am well acquitted of. Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. Thou learn a prayer without book. Thou canst strike, How now, ambitious Humphry! what means this? You follow the young Prince up and down, like Pretend some alteration in good will? O me! come near me now I am much ill. MMMCCCLXXVI - "WERTOLENDBASES" What counsel give you in this weighty cause? Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Remuneration for the thing it was; To let him spend his time no more at home, One sees more devils than vast hell can hold, Let us from point to point this story know, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Ne'er settled equally, but high or low, Devise but how you'll use him when he comes, By humble message and by promised means: A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Speak to thy father ere thou yield thy breath! MMMCCCLXXVII - "UBJECTSLIGHTRE" Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. Because I would not see thy cruel nails John. A strange fish!

Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar Love me or love me not, I like the cap; I did present him with the Paris balls. God should be so obdurate as yourselves, He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Those wounds heal ill that men do give themselves: Read over Julia's heart, thy first best love, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMMCCCLXXVIII - "TURNFORGETFULM" The honey fee of parting tender'd is: Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak.

Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; Let it fall rather, though the fork invade Master, you look'd so longly on the maid. MMMCCCLXXIX - "USEANDSTRAIGHT" Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. Should have thus little mercy on their flesh? Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; As vaded gloss no rubbing will refresh, Not paying me a welcome. Trust me, sweet, Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Seek out King John and fall before his feet; Their several kinds have done. My high charms work Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! And pass my daughter a sufficient dower, I hear it sing i' the wind: yond same black Get the learned writer to set down our He's both their parent, and he is their grave, The precious note of it with a base slave. MMMCCCLXXX - "REDEEMINGENTLE" Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Else one self mate and mate could not beget Destroy'd his country, and his name remains Either be gone before the watch be set, Each in his office ready at thy beck. My Icarus, my blossom, in his pride. I took a costly jewel from my neck, Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, Give me some music. Now, good morrow, friends. Each way and move. I take my leave of you: No, my good lords, it is not that offends; That, he awaking when the other do, Let Henry fret and all the world repine. Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. MMMCCCLXXXI - "NUMBERSTIMESOI" Never was seen so black a day as this: Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Men are to mell with, boys are not to kiss: Be happy that my arms are out of use: Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Seek out King John and fall before his feet; That's he that was Othello: here I am. Is all the policy, strength and defence, My nobles leave me; and my state is braved, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Six of his labours you'ld have done, and saved Out of my lean and low ability I thank my God for my humility. MMMCCCLXXXII - "DLYSPENTSINGTO" Descend to darkness and the burning lake! Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, Your heart is full of something that does take Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, Prepare her ears to hear a wooer's tale Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought No vast obscurity or misty vale, That here were well begun and well begot; Set them into confounding odds, that beasts Iago, look with care about the town, Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Guess thou the rest; King Edward's friends must down, That's he that was Othello: here I am. Or shall they last, and we rejoice in them? MMMCCCLXXXIII - "THEEARTHATDOTH" This paper, thus seal'd up; and, I am sure, He then unto the ladder turns his back, Exposing what is mortal and unsure Even like a man new haled from the rack, Abuses me to damn me. I'll have grounds Remove your siege from my unyielding heart; To hear the replication of your sounds Hearing the surges threat: we must all part A gallant knight he was, his name was Blunt; Tell me, how fares our loving mother? Do not cry havoc, where you should but hunt Of what degree soever, with his brother. That in your country's service drew your swords: Have I since your departure had, my lords. MMMCCCLXXXIV - "THYLAYSESTEEMA" To wear a kerchief! Would you were not sick! How will my mother for a father's death Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath Alas, the tender boy, in passion moved, You sad-faced men, people and sons of Rome, She hath assay'd as much as may be proved; Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Shall as a carpet hang upon thy grave, They come like sacrifices in their trim, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. More measure of this measure; be not nice. And then your highness shall command a peace. MMMCCCLXXXV - "NDGIVESTHYPENB" Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats; Deceived in thy integrity, deceived Great men should drink with harness on their throats. If something thou wilt swear to be believed, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Even like a man new haled from the rack, Show you, which shall be yours in private. Your To look like her are chimney-sweepers black. He that helps him take all my outward worth. Your creatures, who by you have been restored: Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Nay, would I were so anger'd with the same! But few of any sort, and none of name. MMMCCCLXXXVI - "OTHSKILLANDARG" Of female favour, and bestows himself True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings: Here is the head; I'll carry it myself. She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Kinsmen, shoot all your shafts into the court: I am content that he shall take the odds Lest my remembrance suffer ill report; Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods, A stand where you may make the fairest shoot. Never to England shall he bear his life; Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? Against confounding age's cruel knife, Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Good God, these nobles should such stomachs bear! MMMCCCLXXXVII - "UMENTRISERESTY" Unless he do submit himself to Rome. My noble girls! Ah, women, women, look, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Nay I'll to him again in name of Brook That floated with thee on the fatal raft? Raze out the written troubles of the brain In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, Storming her world with sorrow's wind and rain. Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Refused most princely gifts, am bound to beg Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Sir Robert never holp to make this leg. The hue of dungeons and the suit of night; You shall not be admitted to his sight. MMMCCCLXXXVIII - "MUSEMYLOVESSWE" Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. Effect it with some care, that he may prove Mars's hot minion is returned again; Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex: Let Mars divide eternity in twain, Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Values itself so highly that to her Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Since you did leave it for my office, sir. Slack'd, not suppress'd; for standing by her side, When reason is the bawd to lust's abuse! Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. MMMCCCLXXXIX - "ETFACESURVEYIF" Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. That I in thy abundance am sufficed Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale: And his pure soul unto his captain Christ, Can no way change you to a milder form, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. So foul a sky clears not without a storm: Under your good correction, I have seen, Return those duties back as are right fit, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Yet most suspected, as the time and place If you had won it, certainly you had. For they are harsh, untuneable and bad. MMMCCCXC - "TIMEHAVEANYWRI" The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, I hear the King my father is sore sick. Measured to look upon you; whom he loves-- Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; His blessed part to heaven, and slept in peace. Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Ay, kennel, puddle, sink; whose filth and dirt Now do I long to hear how you were found; You less know how to value her desert Whilst I am bound to wonder, I am bound Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. I have not sought the day of this dislike. MMMCCCXCI - "NKLEGRAVENTHER" Now my old arms are young John Talbot's grave. Killing them twice. O, give us leave, great king, Like beasts which you shun beastly, and may save, Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Go with me, like good angels, to my end; Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Ay, and amid this hurly I intend Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Endue you with the people's voice: remains Now, Lovell, from the queen what is the news? Their warlike fraughtage: now on Dardan plains Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. Endure the winter's cold as well as he: Regard thy danger, and along with me! MMMCCCXCII - "EIFANYBEASATIR" Ere three days pass, which hath as long lov'd me If that the soldier strike him, as I judge For still thy eyes, which I may call the sea, And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? Not gross to sink, but light, and will aspire. You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, But ne'er till now his scandal of retire. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Anon, as patient as the female dove She throws forth Tarquin's name; 'He, he,' she says, As once Europa did at lusty Jove, Thinking to bar thee of succession, as If you suppose as fearing you it shook. Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. MMMCCCXCIII - "ETODECAYANDMAK" Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Too much the rein: the strongest oaths are straw Of grief and blushes, aptly understood Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: Else had she with her father rang'd along. Cold death aside, and with the other sends And so may you; for a light heart lives long. Yourself, assisted with your honour'd friends, And here's a lord,--come knights from east to west, No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Dost thou not see my baby at my breast, My father and my grandfather were kings, As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, Kneel down and take my blessing, good my girl. MMMCCCXCIV - "ETIMESSPOILSDE" Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. To know his pleasure; and in that behalf, If all were minded so, the times should cease My sceptre for a palmer's walking staff, Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Such love must needs be treason in my breast. Sir, sooth to say, you did not dine at home. Perhaps she cull'd it from among the rest. On Thursday, sir? the time is very short. I'll tell you largely of fair Hero's death: Like one that comes here to besiege his court, Strike not a stroke, but keep yourselves in breath: Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MMMCCCXCV - "SPISEDEVERYWHE" Soldiers, this day have you redeemed your lives, Piercing the night's dull ear, and from the tents If you'll stand fast, we'll beat them to their wives, Subject and servile to all discontents, Even for this let us divided live, Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Yea, twice the sum: if that will not suffice, Who, he? I think the sun where he was born His wonders and his praises do contend Either of you to be the other's end. MMMCCCXCVI - "REGIVEMYLOVEFA" Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard. I did, my lord, but loath am to produce Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast May bare the raven's eye! I lodge in fear; Yourself? Why, do you not perceive the jest? Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Of both your armies; whose equality Visit the speechless sick and still converse Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. For though usurpers sway the rule awhile, And all good men of this ungovern'd isle. MMMCCCXCVII - "MEFASTERTHANTI" Madam, an if my brother had my shape, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? False justicer, why hast thou let her scape? All hail, great master! grave sir, hail! I come So kind to heart, 'tis not enough to give; That were enwombed mine: 'tis often seen Even for this let us divided live, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen That twice she doth begin ere once she speaks. His cocks do win the battle still of mine, And I do stand engaged to many Greeks, Near to the walls, by some apparent sign That was not forced; that never was inclined I am Misanthropos, and hate mankind. MMMCCCXCVIII - "MEWASTESLIFESO" More health and happiness betide my liege Establish him in his true sense again, Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege; At this Adonis smiles as in disdain, She is beholding to thee, gentle youth. Then by your side no bed-room me deny; Even so void is your false heart of truth. So sure I swear to get the town or die. Let thy fair wisdom, not thy passion, sway In limited professions. Rascal thieves, Fairies, begone, and be all ways away. Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, She should that duty leave unpaid to you, O, that it were as like as it is true! MMMCCCXCIX - "THOUPREVENTSTH" To stranger blood, to foreign royalty. He hath commission from thy wife and me O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? Until his very downfall in the sea: Prithee, good Griffith, tell me how he died: Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Each present lord began to promise aid, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, Than hath been taught by any of my trade; Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. Then turn your forces from this paltry siege Here comes the herald of the French, my liege. MMMCD - "ISSCYTHEANDCRO" I'll know his grievance, or be much denied. Stand for your own; unwind your bloody flag; She might ha' been a grandam ere she died: Caesar made here; but made not here his brag You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? Two props of virtue for a Christian prince, He was but as the cuckoo is in June, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, All is imaginary she doth prove, Now am I seated as my soul delights, Did all the chivalry of England move Clap on more sails; pursue; up with your fights: Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of O, they love least that let men know their love. MMMCDI - "OKEDKNIFEOTRUA" On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Kneel down before him, hang upon his gown: Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Did he suspire, that light and weightless down Know, gentle wench, it small avails my mood: Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole I care not what, so it be wholesome food. For you must know, we have with special soul Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Of which there is not one, I dare avow, The anvil of my sword, and do contest Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: As with a club, dash out my desperate brains? MMMCDII - "NTMUSEWHATSHAL" Now is my turn to speak. Behold this child: To take her by the hand and bid her go, Matter against me; and his eye reviled Up to the ears. Come, we burn daylight, ho! State holy or unhallow'd, what of that? Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Were it but told you, should be hooted at Hope, sir, if you thrive, you'll remember from Adopts thee heir, and his high sceptre yields To be set high in place, we did commend Shall furnish me to those Italian fields, He doth unfasten so and shake a friend. And that we find the slothful watch but weak, Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. MMMCDIII - "LBETHYAMENDSFO" Lorenzo, I commit into your hands But that one half which is unsatisfied, England, impatient of your just demands, The commons will not then be satisfied. He shall do this, or else I do recant You do the king my father too much wrong Although, my lord, I know my noble aunt Methinks I should not thus be led along, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch: Deny their office: only you do lack Son, list to this conjunction, make this match; Five summers have I spent in furthest Greece, Or who should study to prefer a peace. MMMCDIV - "RTHYNEGLECTOFT" Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, The world is not thy friend nor the world's law; Harry the Fifth's the man. I speak the truth. You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha! Nor mine, my lord: Cressid was here but now. Each in his office ready at thy beck. Give me assurance with some friendly vow, Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Caesar, thou canst not die by traitors' hands, To crouch in litter of your stable planks, On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, Faith, Sir John,'tis more than time that I were To draw upon an exile! O brave sir! MMMCDV - "RUTHINBEAUTYDY" Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. That you shall say my cunning drift excels. Heaven, be thou gracious to none alive, I still win of you: for my sake wear this; Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: Becomes the field but here shows much amiss. Either of king or council, when you went And brief, good mother; for I am in haste. Upon a desperate bed, and in a time They might have lived to bear and he to taste You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' You are my guest, Lavinia, and your friends. MMMCDVI - "EDBOTHTRUTHAND" Else shall you not have any hand at all Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. But, God he knows, thy share thereof is small: O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, His taken labours bid him me forgive; To crouch in litter of your stable planks, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Upon his peril, that I have reserved To think so base a thought: it were too gross Here is my hand; the premises observed, And to that woman, when she has done most, Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Do a fair message to his kingly ears? MMMCDVII - "BEAUTYONMYLOVE" Beguiled me to the very heart of loss. England we love; and for that England's sake A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross; Upon my party, I'ld revolt to make Thou saw'st them, when I had prosperity. Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; Open as day for melting charity; Now, Kate, I am a husband for your turn; My lord, the enemy is past the marsh Your highness should deliver up your crown. Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh; O young and noble Cato, art thou down? Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? MMMCDVIII - "DEPENDSSODOSTT" Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, Each hath his place and function to attend: Proclaim that I can sing, weave, sew, and dance, Either of you to be the other's end. Not paying me a welcome. Trust me, sweet, Deserve not worse than wretched Clarence did, Swell'st thou, proud heart? I'll give thee scope to beat, Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? Of hostile arms! myself myself confound! Duke of Alencon, this was your default, Of mine own kindred: when I waked, I found Should lose his birthright by his father's fault, That smiles his cheek in years and knows the trick To wear a kerchief! Would you were not sick! MMMCDIX - "HOUTOOANDTHERE" He was the mark and glass, copy and book, O, I could wish this tavern were my drum! Under an osier growing by a brook, The laundress in Datchet-meat; quickly, come. Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves, Or I am mad, or else this is a dream: Amaze the welkin with your broken staves! Nor should thy prowess want praise and esteem, Do I not think on thee, when I forgot To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Ho, ho, confess'd it! hang'd it, have you not? English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Expecting in return twenty for one? MMMCDX - "INDIGNIFIEDMAK" I saw him not these many years, and yet Nor, princes, is it matter new to us Do tell her she is dreadfully beset, I saw a smith stand with his hammer, thus, God save thy Grace, King Hal; my royal Hal! Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, I will withdraw: but this intrusion shall Filling the air with swords advanced and darts, If thou art dun, we'll draw thee from the mire Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Doth too too oft betake him to retire, Merrily, merrily shall I live now And doubt not, sir, but she will well excuse Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? MMMCDXI - "EANSWERMUSEWIL" Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: At last he takes her by the bloodless hand, No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff. Such aid as I can spare you shall command; What need you five-and-twenty, ten, or five, Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Marry that will, I live and die a maid: Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. With horns, as was Actaeon's; and the hounds I charge thee, hence, and do not haunt me thus. Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! MMMCDXII - "TTHOUNOTHAPLYS" That hath enrag'd him on to offer strokes, To their approvers they are people such How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? O, speak no more, for I have heard too much. Urging the worser sense for vantage still; Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill! That virtue must go through. We must not stint Here never shines the sun; here nothing breeds, As he will lose his head ere give consent Prince Bassianus, leave to plead my deeds: Lose all, and more, by paying too much rent, You told how Diomed, a whole week by days, Shall in procession sing her endless praise. MMMCDXIII - "AYTRUTHNEEDSNO" A foot of honour better than I was; Yet she must die, else she'll betray more men. Thou mayst be valiant in a better cause; Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; That for a fantasy and trick of fame His rougher accents for malicious sounds, No longer session hold upon my shame, Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, So please you, save the thanks this prince expects: Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. O, yes, my lord! He wore his beaver up. MMMCDXIV - "COLOURWITHHISC" Come, go with us; we'll look to that anon: O, pity, God, this miserable age! Lies crafty-sick. The posts come tiring on, Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Upon the left hand of the even field. Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? What he will do: but if he will not yield, I do beseech you, take it not amiss; The commonwealth doth stand, and so would do, Hath an aspect of intercession, which How does thy honour? Let me lick thy shoe. It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Some speedy messenger bid her repair Creep into acorn-cups and hide them there. MMMCDXV - "OLOURFIXDBEAUT" O! my fear interprets: what, is he dead? Long after fearing to creep forth again; Or, if you do not, make the bridal bed Using the names of men instead of men; Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Finish, good lady; the bright day is done, I am so far from granting thy request eXpecting in return twenty for one? Deceitful Warwick! it was thy device Before I see thee seated in that throne Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice As if increase of appetite had grown Upon your oath of service to the pope, This way, or not at all, stand you in hope. MMMCDXVI - "YNOPENCILBEAUT" Yes, Warwick, Edward dares, and leads the way. Nor to comply with heat--the young affects O, but remember this another day, Preeminence, and all the large effects Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Norfolk, throw down, we bid; there is no boot. Come not near him. If thou wouldst not reside I'll stay above the hill, so both may shoot. Lorenzo, I commit into your hands But be it as it may: I here entail England, impatient of your just demands, And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale. Upon the next occasion that we meet, That oft they interchange each other's seat. MMMCDXVII - "YSTRUTHTOLAYBU" Yes, madam: yet I cannot choose but laugh, So call it: but it does fulfil my vow; The greatest of your having lacks a half Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? To make him much outlive a gilded tomb, His time of folly and his time of sport; Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb O insupportable and touching loss! Lavinia, live; outlive thy father's days, A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross; Yet this thy praise cannot be so thy praise, But in the onset come; so shall I taste Upon mine hostess there: good sir, make haste. MMMCDXVIII - "TBESTISBESTIFN" That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: But now that fresh fair mirror, dim and old, Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Should have a back or second, that might hold The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, In that each of you have forsworn his book, She is as forward of her breeding as Believe me, king of shadows, I mistook. Either of king or council, when you went Speak, Queen of Goths, dost thou applaud my choice? That I repair to Rome, I am content. If thou hast any sound, or use of voice, For mocking marriage with a dame of France. Nay, then 'tis time to stir him from his trance. MMMCDXIX - "EVERINTERMIXDB" Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Either to get the town again or die: Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Is't with you? What, man! defy the devil: Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, This harness'd masque and unadvised revel, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. My marvel and my message. To your court I am no fee'd post, lady; keep your purse: eXcept some petty towns of no import: Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, Be emptied to redeem a traitor home? MMMCDXX - "ECAUSEHENEEDSN" Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. Can any face of brass hold longer out? Against the wind a mile! You souls of geese, Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt, Stood challenger on mount of all the age Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee Hath made her break out into terms of rage! Ere three days pass, which hath as long lov'd me Never, O never, do his ghost the wrong Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Die neither mother, wife, nor England's queen! So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. No evil lost is wail'd when it is gone. MMMCDXXI - "OPRAISEWILTTHO" Oh, who shall hinder me to wail and weep, Play on the lute, beholding the towns burn: Reply not in how many fathoms deep And we will nothing waste till you return. If you bethink yourself of any crime So, love, be thou; although to-day thou fill Exception bid him speak, and at this time Which like two spirits do suggest me still: I see I cannot get thy father's love; Let her not strike me. You perhaps may think, That you to-day promised to tell me of? That, like the sun, did make beholders wink? How lies their battle? know you on which side O tiger's heart wrapt in a woman's hide! MMMCDXXII - "UBEDUMBEXCUSEN" Under the wrath of noble Hotspur's sword, But God in mercy so deal with my soul, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Drag hence her husband to some secret hole, Upon whose weeping margent she was set; My spritely brethren, I propend to you But for my hand, as unattempted yet, England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, eXpress impatience, lest you stir up mine. Confronts your city's eyes, your winking gates; Unto a view so false will not incline; Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Nay, we shall heat you thoroughly anon. MMMCDXXIII - "OTSILENCESOFOR" Out of my lean and low ability Thou and thy faction shall repent this rape. Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, In his true, native, and most proper shape, Lend me a garter. So. O, for a chair, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand No way excuse his soils, when we do bear Come out. Ha! bots on't, 'tis come at last, and Endue you with the people's voice: remains Says that you savour too much of your youth, Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth, Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odours made: Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. MMMCDXXIV - "TLIESINTHEETOM" This ensign here of mine was turning back; Like one of two contending in a prize, If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Slack the bolins there! Thou wilt not, wilt thou? It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. Not a dump we; 'tis no time to play now. Thee thither in a whirlwind. If thou wilt, Here lies the east: doth not the day break here? Empale him with your weapons round about; Ely with Richmond troubles me more near This must not be thus borne: this will break out Of this hard world, my ragged prison walls, Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. MMMCDXXV - "AKEHIMMUCHOUTL" As bending angels; that's their fame in peace: Keep still possession of thy gloomy place, Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. His treasons will sit blushing in his face, If thou art dun, we'll draw thee from the mire My education been in arts and arms; May make a peaceful and a sweet retire Unchain your spirits now with spelling charms Concerning the French journey: I replied, Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; O, had they in that darksome prison died! Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. That I may dew it with my mournful tears; Longer than I have time to tell his years! MMMCDXXVI - "IVEAGILDEDTOMB" If ever- as that ever may be near- Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Even or odd, of all days in the year, As loath to lose him, not your father's death; Go, rascals, go and fetch my supper in. It is his highness' pleasure that the queen Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Death: her death itself, which could not be her Thy youngest daughter does not love thee least, O, here he is! Lay hand upon him.- Sir, Mistress Ford: we will thrive, lads, we will thrive. Bacons, on! What, ye knaves! young men must live. MMMCDXXVII - "ANDTOBEPRAISED" As that same ague which hath made you lean. No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: Die neither mother, wife, nor England's queen! To new-found methods and to compounds strange? Of both your armies; whose equality But like still-pining Tantalus he sits, Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. Pardon him, sweet Timandra; for his wits Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: And then to crave a league of amity; It hath been taught us from the primal state, Sticking together in calamity. Establish him in his true sense again, During the time Edward the Third did reign. MMMCDXXVIII - "OFAGESYETTOBET" O Stephano. hast any more of this? From some forefather grief; mine is not so, And thus I search it with a sovereign kiss. Good prudence; smatter with your gossips, go. Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Some necessaries that I needs must use, Yet, to supply the ripe wants of my friend, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. The third time; I hope good luck lies in odd Thy noble shape is but a form of wax, O upright, just, and true-disposing God, Bearing their birthrights proudly on their backs, Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows That hast deceived so many with thy vows? MMMCDXXIX - "HENDOTHYOFFICE" Haste, signify so much; while we attend, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Now, lords, if God doth give successful end Diana's temple is not distant far, O, let me suffer, being at your beck, Then, if you fight against God's enemy, Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, Yonder's the head of that arch-enemy O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath! From reason's yielding, your fair self should make France, I am burn'd up with inflaming wrath; I now beseech you, for your daughter's sake, Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MMMCDXXX - "MUSEITEACHTHEE" My widow says thus she conceives her tale. Unclaim'd of any man. But who comes here? Strange images of death. As thick as hail Ely with Richmond troubles me more near I summon up remembrance of things past, That Photinus an eunuch and your maids Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And now loud-howling wolves arouse the jades Comes hunting this way to disport himself. He durst not sit there, had your father lived. They are all forth. Well, I will walk myself Hear'st thou the news abroad, who are arrived? Each jealous of the other, as the stung Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMMCDXXXI - "HOWTOMAKEHIMSE" He should have had a volume of farewells; Or hew my way out with a bloody axe. Which on thy soft cheek for complexion dwells To whom you are but as a form in wax Or else you would not have bestow'd the heir Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's And with deep groans the diapason bear; Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Have felt the worst of death's destroying wound I'll bury thee in a triumphant grave; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: Should perish by the sword! And I myself, England is safe, if true within itself? MMMCDXXXII - "EMLONGHENCEASH" Each present lord began to promise aid, Many a dry drop seem'd a weeping tear, Let him depart; his passport shall be made Of English Henry, shall this night appear Nor be not grieved- she is of good esteem, Grief would have tears, and sorrow bids me speak. He hath but as offended in a dream! Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Nay then, the wanton lies; my face is black. Choose thou thy husband, and I'll pay thy dower; Even like a man new haled from the rack, Ay, and we are betroth'd: nay, more, our, Staring on Priam's wounds with her old eyes, He rais'd the house with loud and coward cries. MMMCDXXXIII - "ESHOWSNOWMYLOV" Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Saint Cupid, then! and, soldiers, to the field! Have done! for shame, if not for charity. Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, Why, this hath not a finger's dignity: Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. Or hew my way out with a bloody axe. When we have laugh'd to see the sails conceive Men are to mell with, boys are not to kiss: You bade me ban, and will you bid me leave? Lavinia, you are not displeased with this? O, yes, I saw sweet beauty in her face, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. MMMCDXXXIV - "EISSTRENGTHEND" Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; So far from cheer and from your former state. Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! The sole drift of my purpose doth extend Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Either of you to be the other's end. Never was such a sudden scholar made; Gone! they went hence so soon as they were born: There shall no figure at such rate be set Have aught committed that is hardly borne Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, Die neither mother, wife, nor England's queen! MMMCDXXXV - "THOUGHMOREWEAK" Truly to speak, and with no addition, Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Of disobedient opposition Until his army be dismiss'd from him. Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. Or like a gallant horse fall'n in first rank, Refused most princely gifts, am bound to beg Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, When your young nephew Titus lost his leg: Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. As I do live, my honour'd lord, 'tis true; Know I these men that come along with you? MMMCDXXXVI - "INSEEMINGILOVE" In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, Not I, but my affairs, have made you wait: Should so profane the word, that taught me craft Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Makes merit her election, and doth boil, I think, by some odd gimmors or device No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil; Give even way unto my rough affairs; I have inform'd his highness so at large Let them be free, marry them to your heirs? Or aught intend'st to lay unto my charge, Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMCDXXXVII - "NOTLESSTHOUGHL" No masque to-night: the wind is come about; O, this is full of pity! Sir, it calls, The ringleader and head of all this rout, Like peasant foot-boys do they keep the walls Effect it with some care, that he may prove Shine out, fair sun, till I have bought a glass, So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. The anchor is deep: will that humour pass? How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, Or of devotion, to this holy shrine? Under whose brim the gaudy sun would peep; God witness with me, I have wept for thine. He 'scaped the land, to perish at the sea. Look by and by to have thy sons with thee. MMMCDXXXVIII - "ESSTHESHOWAPPE" Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! Straight will I bring you to the loathsome pit The unity and married calm of states He throws upon the gross world's baser slaves: Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Stay, my Lord Talbot; for my lady craves He bends her fingers, holds her pulses hard, Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Who in unnecessary action swarm And think it no addition, nor my wish, Praise her but for this her without-door form, Provokes itself and like the current flies Envy the great nor do the low despise. MMMCDXXXIX - "ARTHATLOVEISME" As thou art a knave, and no knave. What an Rather than rob me of the people's hearts! To-night I take my leave. This naughty man Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Against the unseen secrecy of night: That I may kindly give one fainting kiss. Let us impart what we have seen to-night O Caesar, what a wounding shame is this, Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less I do the wrong, and first begin to brawl. Shall worms, inheritors of this excess, More relative than this. The play's the thing Even in the presence of the crowned king. MMMCDXL - "RCHANDIZEDWHOS" Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway, Come, Hamlet, come, and take this hand from me. He calls for the tortures: what will you say And to be praised of ages yet to be. Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Drag hence her husband to some secret hole, It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock Zounds, I will speak of him; and let my soul Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Dear father, soul and substance of us all,-- With 'Thanks, my countrymen, my loving friends;' Her immortality, and made her thrall O, let me think on Hastings, and be gone So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. MMMCDXLI - "ERICHESTEEMING" Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, Could to no issue of true honour bring. Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; Thou'lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange Except some petty towns of no import: Edward the Third, he bids you then resign My health and happy being at your court. I have a daughter (have while she is mine), No, nor your manhood that durst make you stay. Goes upright with his carriage. How's the day? MMMCDXLII - "THEOWNERSTONGU" Thou art a lord, and nothing but a lord. Here is my hand, and here I firmly vow Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; Now, by my George, my garter, and my crown,-- Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Rotten opinion, who hath writ me down She either gives a stomach and no food- The blushes in my cheeks thus whisper me, O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! Nor get a messenger to bring it thee, Good king, great king, and yet not greatly good, Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! MMMCDXLIII - "EDOTHPUBLISHEV" Enow to press a royal merchant down Debts wither 'em to nothing; be men like Opinion, that did help me to the crown, That do contrive how many hands shall strike, He be as miserably slain as I. Pardon, my liege, that I have stay'd so long. Unless it be to think that she is by Beshrew me, if I would do such a wrong Lavinia, live; outlive thy father's days, I love him not, nor hate him not; and yet So his unhallow'd haste her words delays, How might a prince of my great hopes forget Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. MMMCDXLIV - "ERYWHEREOURLOV" Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Yet from my dugs he drew not this deceit. Well, sir, I will; therefore, I will, sir; thus: He hath the jewel of my life in hold, Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Of threescore and two years; a silly time Until the white rose that I wear be dyed Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Left I the court, to see this quarrel tried. One, sir, that for his love dares yet do more Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? MMMCDXLV - "EWASNEWANDTHEN" Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Whiles you are willing it shall come to note, A vessel rides fast by, but not prepared Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote: Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, England ne'er had a king until his time. Who, as Ulysses says, opinion crowns As hard to leave as keep; whose top to climb Now, Travers, what good tidings comes with you? Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. That ever love did make thee run into, He means, my lord, that we are too remiss; Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Namely, some love that drew him oft from home. MMMCDXLVI - "BUTINTHESPRING" By bright Diana, whom we honour, all Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. That I, one Snout by name, present a wall; I'll hide my master from the flies, as deep Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, To give the heir and daughter of Lord Scales Had not an ear to hear my true time broke. Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Springs out into fast gait; then stops again, Praise him that got thee, she that gave thee suck: Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, No more than I am well acquitted of. Good shepherd, tell this youth what 'tis to love. MMMCDXLVII - "WHENIWASWONTTO" Weeps over them and wrings his hapless hands Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. England, impatient of your just demands, Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? I think he thinks upon the savage bull. What pledge have we of thy firm loyalty? And Westmoreland. This is the news at full. Setting aside his high blood's royalty, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, O, rhymes are guards on wanton Cupid's hose: Nor iron on his heel! I am ashamed To this good purpose, that so fairly shows, They swell, and grow as terrible as storms. Or blot with hell-born sin such saint-like forms. MMMCDXLVIII - "GREETITWITHMYL" Good night and welcome, both at once, to those Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Except it be to pray against thy foes. Each jealous of the other, as the stung That, 'twas a pricket that the princess killed. Is not inured; return again in haste; That frosts will bite them. When we mean to build, Who this accomplishment so hotly chased; If I do not usurp myself, I am. Treason is not inherited, my lord; Hence with it, and together with the dam My sacred aunt, should by my mortal sword You do unbend your noble strength, to think Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! MMMCDXLIX - "AYSASPHILOMELI" Ay, marry, uncle; for I always thought Yet, do thy worst, old Time: despite thy wrong, Should prove the mother of fools. I have brought And violenteth in a sense as strong So that the ram that batters down the wall, Profess'd to him, why, his revenges must He spoke, and learnedly, for life; but all In this appeal as thou art all unjust; Love, lend me wings to make my purpose swift, One minute, nay, one quiet breath of rest. May counterpoise this rich and precious gift? Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Lay comforts to your bosom, and bestow I know not that, when he knows what I know. MMMCDL - "NSUMMERSFRONTD" Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, Shall as a carpet hang upon thy grave, Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Mains d'un chevalier, je pense, le plus brave, Most honourably doth unhold his word. Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Shall it for shame be spoken in these days, For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Once more we sit in England's royal throne, No; God forbid your grace should be forsworn. Though death be adjunct, there's no death supposed. Doubt not, my lord, they shall be well opposed. MMMCDLI - "OTHSINGANDSTOP" Of horsemen, that were levied for this siege! That makes the wappen'd widow wed again; He never did fall off, my sovereign liege, Sister, you know he promised me a chain; I will to Venice; Sunday comes apace; Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Give it to me: what, is it in the case? And there repose: a turn or two I'll walk, Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Dear, trouble not yourself: the morn is cold. Stopping my greedy ear with their bold deeds; Then in the number let me pass untold, Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Poor rogue hereditary. Hence, be gone! MMMCDLII - "SHERPIPEINGROW" So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, He that perforce robs lions of their hearts Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Point, heel to head; and then, to be stopped in, I dare my life lay down and will do't, sir, Prithee, get thee in: would thou hadst ne'er been Either to die the death or to abjure It hath been taught us from the primal state, Now, neighbour confines, purge you of your scum. Great Juno, comes; I know her by her gait. Rather he should shrive me than wive me. Come, Out of prawls, and prabbles' and quarrels, and What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand? MMMCDLIII - "THOFRIPERDAYSN" Thou say'st his sports were hinderd by thy brawls: How couldst thou drain the life-blood of the child, O, this is full of pity! Sir, it calls, For Adon's sake, a youngster proud and wild; Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! I gin to be aweary of the sun, Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons, Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Reply not in how many fathoms deep Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines? A great man should decline? Nay, an you weep, You may as well forbid the mountain pines She hearkens for his hounds and for his horn: No; God forbid your grace should be forsworn. MMMCDLIV - "OTTHATTHESUMME" O, but I love his lady too too much, The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen The great assay of art; but at his touch-- Have any resting for her true king's queen. And thither bear your treasure and your goods. To call them both a pair of crafty knaves. That ever Timon was. Shame not these woods, He throws upon the gross world's baser slaves: End in one purpose, and be all well borne Shall never see so much, nor live so long. Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Most noble brother, you have done me wrong. Most abject in regard and dear in use! Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMMCDLV - "RISLESSPLEASAN" Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, I thank thee for thy care and honest pains. Sit, sit. The gods require our thanks. Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Shaking the bloody fingers of thy foes, So offers he to give what she did crave; Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Less valiant than the virgin in the night Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; As in thy red rays thou dost sink to-night, Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth Not wind? it shall, it must; you see it doth. MMMCDLVI - "TNOWTHANWHENHE" There to dispose this treasure in mine arms, Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, Worthy his youth and nobleness of birth. This morning, like the spirit of a youth High dukes, great princes, barons, lords and knights, Ay, sharp and piercing, to maintain his truth; Now am I seated as my soul delights, Which would be worn now in their newest gloss, He was but as the cuckoo is in June, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Hath been as continent, as chaste, as true, Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. MMMCDLVII - "RMOURNFULHYMNS" Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. O, is it so? But why commands the king Upon his visage, and that all the walls Return those duties back as are right fit, No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose From my poor cheek? then he hath wasted it: Upon the gad? Edmund, how now? What news? Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. How now, ambitious Humphry! what means this? Yes, troth, and troth; you would not be a queen? Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss, No; fifteen hundred foot, five hundred horse, Sword is an oath, and oaths must have their course. MMMCDLVIII - "DIDHUSHTHENIGH" Dark night, that from the eye his function takes, In wholesome counsel to his unstaid youth? Doth by the idle comments that it makes Harry the Fifth's the man. I speak the truth. Upon the head of this forgetful man She makes it strange; but she would be best pleased His son am I; deny it, if you can. These Kentish rebels would be soon appeased! How courtesy would seem to cover sin, Else you may be marvellously mistook. Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, If I had play'd the desk or table book, Good morrow, fair ones; pray you, if you know, He might have took his answer long ago. MMMCDLIX - "TBUTTHATWILDMU" Though their injunction be to bar my doors By uproar sever'd, like a flight of fowl Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; The time when screech-owls cry and ban-dogs howl, The roughest berry on the rudest hedge; He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, And that would set my teeth nothing on edge, Therefore like her I sometime hold my tongue, Why, then you left me--O, the gods forbid!-- In her prophetic fury sew'd the work; Lord Angelo? they have confessed you did. Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Many a groaning throe. Thus hulling in Undoing all, as all had never been! MMMCDLX - "SICBURTHENSEVE" So foul a sky clears not without a storm: In poor beseeming; 'twas a fitment for Can no way change you to a milder form, Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more. Upon the life of this thrice-famed duke. Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. How many of you have mine eyes beheld! End in one purpose, and be all well borne No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence She hearkens for his hounds and for his horn: Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMCDLXI - "RYBOUGHANDSWEE" Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. You envy my advancement and my friends': But buckle with thee blows, twice two for one. Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,-- Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; Good even, Casca: brought you Caesar home? Had I as many sons as I have hairs, And help to set a head on headless Rome. Not like a woman; for I would prevent Deal with poison; I will possess him with Sir, I commend you to your own content. Which in the time of Henry named the Fifth Either to get the town again or die: Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MMMCDLXII - "TSGROWNCOMMONL" To bring him to the haven; left these notes Say thou wilt course; thy greyhounds are as swift Great men should drink with harness on their throats. Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. Or is he but retired to make him strong? Whose nature is so far from doing harms Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! Come, come and lay him in his father's arms: O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! Met us again and madly bent on us, My Lord of Gloucester, I have too long borne Of this his nephew's purpose, to suppress Not till it leave the rider in the mire. Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. MMMCDLXIII - "OSETHEIRDEARDE" On this side Tiber; he hath left them you, Such barren pleasures, rude society, Engenders the black toad and adder blue, That makes thee strangle thy propriety: Hop forty paces through the public street; Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, I know not where is that Promethean heat Return, return, and make thy love amends. Dying with mother's dug between its lips: Embowell'd will I see thee by and by: And situation with those dancing chips, Religious love put out Religion's eye: Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMCDLXIV - "LIGHTTHEREFORE" Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: If haply you my father do suspect Good night and welcome, both at once, to those He holds your temper in a high respect Three months from twelve; then, let me see; the rate-- The wager thou hast won; and I will add His promises fly so beyond his state Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: For goodness dare not cheque thee: wear thou O, wilt thou darkling leave me? do not so. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Even in the presence of the crowned king. MMMCDLXV - "LIKEHERISOMETI" Losing both beauty and utility. In equal scale weighing delight and dole, King Henry's peers and chief nobility Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, How now for mitigation of this bill Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill: I would dissemble with my nature where Spending his manly marrow in her arms, Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich My spirit can no longer bear these harms. Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which That to close prison he commanded her, I will determine this before I stir. MMMCDLXVI - "MEHOLDMYTONGUE" Make verbal repetition of her moans; Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones Out of her favour, where I am in love. Lady, give me your hand, and, as we walk, Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets; Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, That will not suffer you to square yourselves, Of the all-building law; and that there were Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, Good mother, fetch my bail. Stay, royal sir: Upon my daughter's head! Tell me, mine own. Enough to purchase what you have made known. MMMCDLXVII - "BECAUSEIWOULDN" By bloody hands, in sleeping on your beds! England did never owe so sweet a hope, Corn for the rich men only: with these shreds And, as you answer, I do know the scope Until the elder sister first be wed. Shall stain your brother: make your soonest haste; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. I do beseech you, as in way of taste, Whereon the thought might think sometime it saw Of hostile arms! myself myself confound! Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Lascivious metres, to whose venom sound Doth make a stand at what your highness will. Now is a time to storm; why art thou still? MMMCDLXVIII - "OTDULLYOUWITHM" Of the old rage: bear with me, I am sick; That I'll resume the shape which thou dost think Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: Upon a homely object Love can wink. Listen to me, and if you speak me fair Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; Your hand, my Perdita: so turtles pair, Othello, leave some officer behind, Upon the wild sea banks and waft her love Were I as patient as the midnight sleep, It is an honour that I dream not of. Think therefore on revenge and cease to weep. He holds your temper in a high respect Make livers pale and lustihood deject. MMMCDLXIX - "YSONGALACKWHAT" You smell this business with a sense as cold She shows a body rather than a life, Old Gaunt indeed, and gaunt in being old: Nature that made thee, with herself at strife, Grows dainty of his worth, and in his tent As after some oration fairly spoke Looking the way her harmless young one went, And groaning underneath this age's yoke, Choked with ambition of the meaner sort: Know, Caesar doth not wrong, nor without cause Will turn unto a peaceful comic sport, Have banged the youth into dumbness. This was And by their vehement instigation, That tremble at the imagination? MMMCDLXX - "POVERTYMYMUSEB" Prizes not quantity of dirty lands; Of physiognomy might one behold! Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Roused on the sudden from their drowsy beds, That nice-preserved honesty of yours. Yet, countrymen, O, yet hold up your heads! Most admirable: I have seen those wars. Yet, since it is but green, it should be put Moist it again, and frame some feeling line Upon this overweening traitor's foot, Swooning destruction, or some joy too fine, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: But much of grief shows still some want of wit. MMMCDLXXI - "RINGSFORTHTHAT" Rome shall record, and when I do forget Is touch'd corruptibly, and his pure brain, No, thou stand'st single, thou'rt not on him yet. Give me one kiss, I'll give it thee again, Shall we go send them dinners and fresh suits For quick accumulation of renown, Over the boots? nay, give me not the boots. Ride, ride, Messala: let them all come down. Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, He will recover straight: when he is gone, Than I, that have not well the gift of tongue, Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. And that unbodied figure of the thought That this fair action may on foot be brought. MMMCDLXXII - "HAVINGSUCHASCO" He hath no friends but who are friends for fear. And, uncle, so will I, an if I live. Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; I am the most offending soul alive. Now will I dam up this thy yawning mouth Give the dozen white luces in their coat. So honour cross it from the north to south, Upon his royal face there is no note Comes all too late, yet let the traitor die; How ill-beseeming is it in thy sex And grapple with him ere he comes so nigh. So please you, save the thanks this prince expects: Come not within the measure of my wrath; O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath! MMMCDLXXIII - "PETOSHOWHERPRI" Pell-mell, down with them! but be first advised, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: There let them bide until we have devised Out of a fortitude of soul I feel, So near with their lips that their breaths embraced Here is a man--but 'tis before his face; O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. What would your Majesty? How fares your Grace? His hands were guilty of no kindred blood, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Possess them not with fear; take from them now Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. If not, 'tis true this parting was well made. MMMCDLXXIV - "DETHEARGUMENTA" Down therefore and beg mercy of the duke. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Her foes shake like a field of beaten corn, Enough to purchase what you have made known. Ay, and we are betroth'd: nay, more, our, Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; Good Lord, how like the empress' sons they are! Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Moreover, if you please, a niece of mine Except it be to pray against thy foes. No, Harry, Harry, 'tis no land of thine; To play the broker in mine own behalf; And would afford my speechless vizard half. MMMCDLXXV - "LLBAREISOFMORE" Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep. Loud music is too harsh for ladies' heads, But I will find him when he lies asleep, Ah! but those tears are pearl which thy love sheds, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. If I know more of any man alive Stay we no longer, dreaming of renown, Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild; First, the gods bless you for your tidings; next, Make the young old, the old become a child. Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Read over Julia's heart, thy first best love, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMMCDLXXVI - "WORTHTHANWHENI" Whose joy of her is overwhelm'd like mine, Or fill up chronicles in time to come, Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Than twenty times the value of the sum He dies that touches any of this fruit These two have 'ticed me hither to this place: How canst thou tell she will deny thy suit, And with a kind of umber smirch my face; Nor grieve that Rouen is so recovered: When they are gone, then must I count my gains. How easily murder is discovered! Endue you with the people's voice: remains Nor let no comforter delight mine ear In weeping after this untimely bier. MMMCDLXXVII - "THATHMYADDEDPR" This hand, I will supplant some of your teeth. Hath motion and mine eye may be deceived: And yours of Helena to me bequeath, Three great oaths would scarce make that be believed. He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. My vows are equal partners with thy vows. Yet did repent me, after more advice; All the charactery of my sad brows: Do I entice you? do I speak you fair? Dead? or asleep? I see no blood, no wound. Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Dared once to touch a dust of England's ground? Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! MMMCDLXXVIII - "AISEBESIDEOBLA" A thievish living on the common road? I would be friends with you and have your love, Set down, set down your honourable load, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Buy thou the cottage, pasture, and the flock, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. I'll stay with patience; but the time is long. Dreamest not of, the which for sport sake are Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! But he would bite none; just as I do now, Let us be jocund: will you troll the catch And couple Clowder with the deep-mouth'd brach. MMMCDLXXIX - "MEMENOTIFINOMO" Marry, they say my uncle grew so fast Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought My foot shall fight with all the strength thou hast; Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Not Gaunt's rebukes, nor England's private wrongs, O, no, forbear! for that which we have fled To things of sale a seller's praise belongs, It were not good; for therein should we read Flat treason 'gainst the kingly state of youth. I'll sigh celestial breath, whose gentle wind Nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, More than a wild exposture to each chance Of all his wars within the realm of France? MMMCDLXXX - "RECANWRITELOOK" Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Could to no issue of true honour bring. And now at length they overflow their banks. Not carry her aboard. If she remain, What, must I hold a candle to my shames? Raze out the written troubles of the brain I would we had a thousand Roman dames That greatness should so grossly offer it: Either of you to be the other's end. Lo, here in one line is his name twice writ, On yon young boy: I'll tell thee what, my friend, Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Keep my need up, and faith is trodden down! MMMCDLXXXI - "INYOURGLASSAND" I have seen tempests, when the scolding winds No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. You see how all conditions, how all minds, Or what hath this bold enterprise brought forth Urge it no more; lest that, instead of words, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds. Look after him and cannot do him good, An old man, broken with the storms of state, She prizes not such trifles as these are: So long as youth and thou are of one date; And when the morning sun shall raise his car Not worth the time of day. It pierced me through; Denies that saying. Sirrah, what say you? MMMCDLXXXII - "THEREAPPEARSAF" To slay your sovereign and destroy the realm. Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you? Your Enrings the barky fingers of the elm.

MMMCDLXXXIII - "ACETHATOVERGOE" Amongst the loving Welshmen canst procure, Could all but answer for that peevish brat? Exposing what is mortal and unsure Thy full supremacy thou knew'st, and that Henry my lord is cold in great affairs, Art thou not ashamed?

Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Go back again, thou slave, and fetch him home. Or you deny me right. Go but apart, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMMCDLXXXIV - "SMYBLUNTINVENT" So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon, My mother greets me kindly; is she well? You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? But he that writes of you, if he can tell Let me give light, but let me not be light; Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy gift, Now leaden slumber with life's strength doth fight; To cross my friend in his intended drift If I had play'd the desk or table book, Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Nay, if you stare, we shall hear more anon. Thee and thy virtues here I seize upon. MMMCDLXXXV - "IONQUITEDULLIN" I bring consuming sorrow to thine age. O, be thou Dian, and let her be Kate; Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Quick, quick, I pray thee; draw the curtain straight: Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak.

Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive. Nor Cymbeline dreams that they are alive. MMMCDLXXXVI - "GMYLINESANDDOI" Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath: Me and my service, ever whilst I live, Your master wed me to: nothing but death Love for thy love and hand for hand I give.

MMMCDLXXXVII - "NGMEDISGRACEWE" No one but he should be about the king; God keep your lordship in that gracious mind! My Lord Chatillon may from England bring, Expect him here: when he shall come and find Doth want example: who hath read or heard I have almost forgot the taste of fears; Speak it again, and, even with the word, Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. Rather your eyes must with his judgment look.

England ne'er had a king until his time. MMMCDLXXXVIII - "REITNOTSINFULT" Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Even so void is your false heart of truth.

MMMCDLXXXIX - "HENSTRIVINGTOM" Hence with it, and together with the dam Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Should be without regard: what's done is done. To make confession and to be absolved. Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his I cannot joy, until I be resolved Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: I cannot speak enough of this content; Never to speak of this that you have seen.

MMMCDXC - "ENDTOMARTHESUB" Edward and York; then haply she will weep: No matter where; of comfort no man speak: Drunk me would have bought me lights as good cheap The strongest body shall it make most weak, O love, dispatch all business, and be gone! My arms such eel-skins stuff'd, my face so thin And now forthwith shall articles be drawn Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Too little payment for so great a debt. His tears run down his beard, like winter's drops Else one self mate and mate could not beget Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. Upon Good-Friday and ne'er broke his fast: But how long shall that title 'ever' last? MMMCDXCI - "JECTTHATBEFORE" Join with the traitor, and they jointly swear Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Call it not patience, Gaunt; it is despair: Thou fond mad man, hear me but speak a word.

The world affords no law to make thee rich; But, by your leave, it never yet did hurt Extremity still urgeth such extremes.

Fairing the foul with art's false borrow'd face, Of physiognomy might one behold! Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, Than keep in peace that hand which thou dost hold.

MMMCDXCIII - "OTHERPASSMYVER" Of what a monarchy you are the head: That hugs his kicky-wicky here at home, Her feet were much too dainty for such tread! Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Real necessities, and give way the while Pardon me, sweet one, even for the vows Am I a queen in title and in style, See, how the ugly wench doth bend her brows, She would applaud Andronicus' conceit: More measure of this measure; be not nice. Yet not so sound and half so deeply sweet Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! MMMCDXCIV - "SESTENDTHANOFY" So to enforce or qualify the laws Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws The mellow plum doth fall, the green sticks fast, Expecting in return twenty for one?

He chafes her lips; a thousand ways he seeks And when the fit was on him, I did mark Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks, Of heavy Pericles; think this his bark: For I can here disarm thee with this stick Your reasons are too shallow and too quick.

Since I came to this isle: and in the morn The scar that will, despite of cure, remain; Or, like a fairy, trip upon the green, Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy. Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Lay'st thou thy leaden mace upon my boy, Let me give light, but let me not be light; A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight. MMMCDXCVII - "NDMOREMUCHMORE" Ne'er spurr'd their coursers at the trumpet's sound; Doth want example: who hath read or heard My soul and body to the skies and ground; O my good lord, the world is but a word: Ready to catch each other by the throat, Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; Unless thou tell'st me where thou hadst this ring, Cease, cease these jars and rest your minds in peace: He sought to murder: but her better stars More measure of this measure; be not nice. Of Hymen's purest bed! thou valiant Mars! Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Except it be to pray against thy foes. MMMCDXCVIII - "THANINMYVERSEC" The woods are ruthless, dreadful, deaf, and dull; Hath willingly departed with a part, Am sure I scared the Dauphin and his trull, Neither of these are so bad as thou art, I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, No, not a whit: what! I have watch'd ere now Making dead wood more blest than living lips. Yea the illiterate, that know not how Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Eternal numbers to outlive long date.

MMMCDXCIX - "ANSITYOUROWNGL" All murders past do stand excused in this: Nerissa and the rest, stand all aloof. She hung about my neck, and kiss on kiss I oft found both: I urge this childhood proof, Take this of me: Lucrece was not more chaste Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. Upon a friend of mine, who, in hot blood, Remaining in the coffer of her friends, O, let them keep it till thy sins be ripe, With colours fairer painted their foul ends.

O, give us leave, great king, If virtue's gloss will stain with any soil, Not only, sir, this your all-licens'd fool, It seems then that the tidings of this broil To comb your noddle with a three-legg'd stool, That thou mightst think upon these by the seal, Of thy devotion and right Christian zeal.

MMMDIII - "UNEVERCANBEOLD" Unto a view so false will not incline; Nay, then he should be blind; and, being blind Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays, And all to have the noble duke alive. Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! Because I would not see thy cruel nails Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales; Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, Dare ye come forth and meet us in the field?

He would drown the stage with tears You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb Or mangled shalt thou be by this my sword.

MMMDVII - "YOURBEAUTYSTIL" Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! Uneath may she endure the flinty streets, Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, But, when his glutton eye so full hath fed, England, impatient of your just demands, All's well now, sweeting; come away to bed.

Lightens my humour with his merry jests. MMMDVIII - "LTHREEWINTERSC" Like little frosts that sometime threat the spring, To cross their arms and hang their heads with mine, His body will I bear unto the king: Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Expire before the flowers in their caps, While night's black agents to their preys do rouse. Into the staggers and the careless lapse Never came reformation in a flood, This way, my lord; for this way lies the game. Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood.

Borrows of the moon, when Diomed keeps his Excepting one, I would he were the best And now loud-howling wolves arouse the jades Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, That Photinus an eunuch and your maids End in one purpose, and be all well borne Or at their chamber door I'll beat the drum Unfurnish me of reason. They are come.

Ere you can take due orders for a priest: For we will fetters put upon this fear, I would have been a breakfast to the beast, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Secure of thunder's crack or lightning flash; Thou fond mad man, hear me but speak a word. If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trash So to enforce or qualify the laws Accuse me thus: that I have scanted all What seest thou in me, York? why dost thou pause?

You perceive she stirs: O, let their bodies follow, my dear liege, They may astonish these fell-lurking curs: Hast thou delight to see a wretched man Supposing it a thing impossible- This his good melancholy oft began, Ask me what question thou canst possible, Now, as thou art a gentleman of blood, Devoured by the unexpected flood. MMMDXXX - "HATHMOTIONANDM" His love, perceiving how he is enraged, As Vulcan's stithy. Give him heedful note; Than honesty to honesty engaged, How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; My wretchedness unto a row of pins, Only to flatter fools and make them bold: Then murders, treasons and detested sins, If what in rest you have in right you hold, Only reserved their factor, to buy souls Nay then, no matter; stay with me awhile; And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Now, Falstaff, where have you been all this while? Doth hurry from the fatal cannon's womb. Must not be shed by such a jaded groom. MMMDXXXI - "INEEYEMAYBEDEC" Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, No, my most worthy master; in whose breast Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Yet see no shelter to avoid the storm; Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Makes me look dismal will I clip to form; And when the morning sun shall raise his car Yes, and will nobly him remunerate. Besides I say and will in battle prove, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Did all the chivalry of England move England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Call Buckingham, and bid him arm himself. MMMDXXXII - "EIVEDFORFEAROF" England, impatient of your just demands, I grant I am a woman; but withal Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Else shall you not have any hand at all Discover more at large what cause that was, For I attend here: but I'll see you soon. Of deaths put on by cunning and forc'd cause; Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, From my remembrance. And, besides, the king Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, And you shall find me, wretched man, a thing Rather than have false Proteus rescue me. O, let those cities that of plenty's cup From whence with life he never more sprung up. MMMDXXXIII - "WHICHHEARTHIST" What, drunk with choler? stay and pause awhile: Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke In the seat royal of this famous isle? Captive to thee and to thy Roman yoke, Her uncle Rivers; yea, and, for her sake, Husht, master! Here's some good pastime toward; Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make At last she thus begins: 'Thou worthy lord Robs me of that which not enriches him The pleasures such a beauty brings with it; Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- I will, if that my fading breath permit Shall be applied. For us, we will resign, There is my purse to cure that blow of thine. MMMDXXXIV - "HOUAGEUNBREDER" How chance the roses there do fade so fast? Or nine wise words to speak to you, which these Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. And utters it again when God doth please: Give Richard leave to live till Richard die? Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Upon the love and truth and vows which I Nor none so bad, but it may well be told. Bid him demand what pledge will please him best. Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Dulling my lines and doing me disgrace. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! MMMDXXXV - "EYOUWEREBORNWA" Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. You press me far, and therefore I will yield. O Caesar! these things are beyond all use, Upon the left hand of the even field. With Margery Jourdain, the cunning witch, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Broach'd with the steely point of Clifford's lance; O me! come near me now I am much ill. Reignier, her father, to the king of France Now is the sun upon the highmost hill Where are you there? Sir John! nay, fear not, man, Asses, fools, dolts! chaff and bran, chaff and bran! MMMDXXXVI - "SBEAUTYSSUMMER" Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps. But, touch'd with human gentleness and love, Expire before the flowers in their caps, And see the noble ruin'd man you speak of. Unless my hand and strength could equal them. The dauntless spirit of resolution. You see how simple and how fond I am. Sentenced and stay upon execution. Shall better speak of you than you deserve. Unto a ragged fearful-hanging rock Must strike her sail and learn awhile to serve Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMMDXXXVII - "DEADLETNOTMYLO" Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast: Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past Discover how, and thou shalt find me just. Loud music is too harsh for ladies' heads, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. To see those borrow'd tears that Sinon sheds! No vast obscurity or misty vale, Or quit in answer of the third exchange, To seal her father's eyes up close as oak- Madam, what makes you in this sudden change? You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; Let it fall rather, though the fork invade Of that which hath so faithfully been paid. MMMDXXXVIII - "VEBECALLDIDOLA" Very hardly upon such a subject. Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Base men, that use them to so base effect! Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Crooked elipses 'gainst his glory fight, As the death-bed whereon it must expire Let all the number of the stars give light Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Deep in the thigh, a spectacle of ruth! In me at once: but to the brightest beams Dy'd in his blood, unto the shepherd youth O vanity of sickness! fierce extremes Like goodly buildings left without a roof And all my pains is sorted to no proof. MMMDXXXIX - "TRYNORMYBELOVE" The violence of either thee becomes, Reward to him that brings the traitor in? You shall hear. As good luck would have it, comes Nor tell the world Antiochus doth sin Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill: My army but a weak and sickly guard; Your king and Warwick's, and must have my will. Before this ancient sir, who, it should seem, Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Levied an army, weening to redeem O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMMDXL - "DASANIDOLSHOWS" Decrease not, but grow faster than the years: And you an officer fit for the place. Shall we but treason? and indent with fears, And not a man of them shall have the grace, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Intended or committed was this fault? Discredit my authority with yours; O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. Lay hands upon these traitors and their trash. Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash, Or in my life what comfort, when I am Which, I protest, hath very much beguiled Should be to be protected like a child. MMMDXLI - "INCEALLALIKEMY" I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve Nor other satisfaction do I crave, Can you not see? or will ye not observe Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! And ill-beseeming semblance for a feast. Like men born to renown by life or death. Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! And with his former title greet Macbeth. Let me entreat, for I command no more, It is apparent foul play; and 'tis shame Keeps good old York there with his men of war? Envy your great deservings and good name, My uncle's will in this respect is mine: Yea, and much better blood than his or thine. MMMDXLII - "SONGSANDPRAISE" Show me a villain that hath done a rape, Oh, who shall hinder me to wail and weep, No, 'tis impossible he should escape, Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: So mild, that Patience seem'd to scorn his woes. And triumph, Henry, in thy day of doom. Nor never seek prevention of thy foes. Dead, sure; and this his grave. What's on this tomb Prove that I cannot, take me home again, Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. At large discourse, while here they do remain. Into a bush; under which bush's shade So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMDXLIII - "SBETOONEOFONES" See how the surly Warwick mans the wall! Behold another day break in the east: Else shall you not have any hand at all Thy youngest daughter does not love thee least, Our business valued, some twelve days hence Or the light loss of England for a friend: No care, no stop! so senseless of expense, Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? O, keep me from their worse than killing lust, Five hundred were but yesterday dubb'd knights: Only compound me with forgotten dust; None that beheld him, but, like lesser lights, England and France might, through their amity, Sticking together in calamity. MMMDXLIV - "TILLSUCHANDEVE" That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. If thou canst mutine in a matron's bones, Let York be regent; I will yield to him. Lest that thy wives with spits and boys with stones So foul a sky clears not without a storm: Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; Crowd us and crush us to this monstrous form Henry the Fifth he first train'd to the wars; And Somerset another goodly mast? No, no, men living flatter those that die. Damsel of France, I think I have you fast: Eating the air and promise of supply, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MMMDXLV - "RSOKINDISMYLOV" Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings I ran from Shrewsbury, my noble lord; Not Gaunt's rebukes, nor England's private wrongs, Dumain was at my service, and his sword: I see a better state to me belongs She'll flay thy wolvish visage. Thou shalt find My gracious lord, here is the bag of gold. Your franchises, whereon you stood, confined Lo, by my truth, the instrument is cold O sinful thought! Never so rich a gem Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? MMMDXLVI - "ETODAYTOMORROW" Environed with all these hideous fears? There stay until the twelve celestial signs O, then I see that madmen have no ears. Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines? And piece the way out with a heavy heart. Yet I alone, alone do me oppose Thou hast bewitch'd my daughter, and thou art Once set on ringing, with his own weight goes; My brother slew no man; his fault was thought, Once did I lay an ambush for your life, Remember me at court; where I was taught Richard, thy wife, that wretched Anne thy wife, Of her or you, having proceeded but Was I a child to fear I know not what. MMMDXLVII - "KINDSTILLCONST" Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know I'll give you boot, I'll give you three for one. No more of stay! to-morrow thou must go. Devise strange deaths for small offences done? Since his exile she hath despised me most, That yarely frame the office. From the barge I have a tree, which grows here in my close, Limit each leader to his several charge, Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Confess'd the vile encounters they have had One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad Shallow. A better instance, I say; come. Three thousand ducats; 'tis a good round sum. MMMDXLVIII - "ANTINAWONDROUS" As they pass by, pluck Casca by the sleeve; No less in pity than his glory which That sin by him advantage should achieve It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike Who wanting guilders to redeem their lives Or, if I live, is it not very like, Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead Do not draw back your hand; I'll take no more; Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. O, wither'd is the garland of the war, Upon my body with their hellish charms? Sleep thou, and I will wind thee in my arms. MMMDXLIX - "EXCELLENCETHER" Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet eXempt from envy, but not from disdain, Could force his soul so to his own conceit Establish him in his true sense again, Like a milch doe, whose swelling dugs do ache, Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, Canonized and worshipped as a saint, Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: That Caesar will not grant. O, I grow faint. Has cluck'd thee to the wars and safely home, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Repair hither and say you are not fit. MMMDL - "EFOREMYVERSETO" Ere you can take due orders for a priest: For he that steeps his safety in true blood Or by what means got'st thou to be released? Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Edward and York; then haply she will weep: More than quick words do move a woman's mind. Yea, yea, my lord: I'll yield him thee asleep, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, So woe hath wearied woe, moan tired moan, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign To noise abroad that Harry Monmouth fell Of its right father. Blossom, speed thee well! MMMDLI - "CONSTANCYCONFI" Could all but answer for that peevish brat? Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his Nay, but ask my opinion too of that. Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! The gain I seek is quiet in the match. And you yourself shall steer the happy helm. Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch: Confess thy treasons ere thou fly the realm; You understand me- over and beside Come hither, boy: ask me this slave in French O tiger's heart wrapt in a woman's hide! Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench; For what I will, I will, and there an end. I'll change my black gown for a faithful friend. MMMDLII - "NEDONETHINGEXP" No less in pity than his glory which Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch: On, Myrmidons, and cry you all amain, Not to his father's; I spoke with his man. Endue you with the people's voice: remains To leave a thousand-fold more bitter than Hostility and civil tumult reigns I must have patience to endure the load: Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: Go hie thee presently, post to the road: Either of king or council, when you went eXcels whatever yet you look'd upon Plainly denouncing vengeance upon John. MMMDLIII - "RESSINGLEAVESO" Receiving them from such a worthless post. Exceed account; but the full sum of me Since his exile she hath despised me most, Strives Bolingbroke to be as great as we? I say she's dead; I'll swear't. If word nor oath Not I, my lord; sith true nobility Giving more light than heat, extinct in both Losing both beauty and utility. Every man shift for all the rest, and And so suppose am I; for in his grave Virtue he had, deserving to command: Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive and cog, O damn'd Iago! O inhuman dog! MMMDLIV - "UTDIFFERENCEFA" Unless my hand and strength could equal them. Tell me precisely of what complexion. Done to me, undeserving as I am, It shows my earnestness of affection- For who lived king, but I could dig his grave? Flatter my sorrows with report of it; Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Return those duties back as are right fit, Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme Came pouring, like the tide into a breach, Exception bid him speak, and at this time For shame, you generals! what do you mean? A queen in jest, only to fill the scene. MMMDLV - "IRKINDANDTRUEI" In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Refuse you for my judge; whom, yet once more, King Henry and the prince his son are gone: If you had sent but two hours before,-- Neither regarding that she is my child Does he rake this together! Now, my lords, And precious phrase by all the Muses filed. Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Does those things. Well, God's above all; and there The pretty dimples of his chin and cheek, Rather than have that savage duke thine heir Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. I claim her not, and therefore she is thine. MMMDLVI - "SALLMYARGUMENT" So sharp are hunger's teeth, that man and wife And like a lowly lover down she kneels; Like death, when he shuts up the day of life; Let us address to tend on Hector's heels: Methinks I see this hurly all on foot: Your gaoler shall deliver you the keys And there lacks work; anon he's there afoot, Repeat their semblance often on the seas, Guilty thou art of murder and of theft, Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; My wasting lamps some fading glimmer left, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, No lord of thine, thou haught insulting man, Therefore accept such kindness as I can. MMMDLVII - "FAIRKINDANDTRU" From this time forth I never will speak word. And stops my tongue, while heart is drown'd in cares. It is not so; thou hast misspoke, misheard: Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Knock; never at quiet! What are you? But I will not speak with him. Say I am sick. Nay, sometime hangs both thief and true man: what Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: And scants us with a single famish'd kiss, Never can blab, nor know not what we mean. Do not yourself such wrong, who are in this This love of theirs myself have often seen, Rather to wonder at the things you hear Unclaim'd of any man. But who comes here? MMMDLVIII - "EVARYINGTOOTHE" Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Yet hath he been my captive and my slave, If ever from your eyelids wip'd a tear, Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, Good God, these nobles should such stomachs bear! There will the lovely Roman ladies troop: O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Think you I can a resolution fetch Hast here cut off my lord. To write and read Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? MMMDLIX - "RWORDSANDINTHI" Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death. Where zeal strives to content, and the contents Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, So is it in the music of men's lives. Ay, as the rocks cheer them that fear their wreck: Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! Is now again thwarting the wayward seas, Not by might master'd but by special grace: That I account them blessings; for by these How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, I take my leave with many thousand thanks. MMMDLX - "SCHANGEISMYINV" She's apt to learn, and thankful for good turns. Came I to take her from her kindred's vault; He's walking in the garden--thus; and spurns Arm! arm! the enemy doth make assault! Now much beshrew my manners and my pride, Go get you gone, and let the papers lie: Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. I have a brother is condemn'd to die: Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp May yet ere night yield both my life and them You ne'er kill'd Imogen til now. Help, help! I saw't this morning: confident I am Narcissus so himself himself forsook, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. MMMDLXI - "ENTIONSPENTTHR" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less No, not to stay the finding of the axe, That things ill-got had ever bad success? In at his window; set this up with wax Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. Sirrah, thy lord I honour as he is. Peaceful commerce from dividable shores, Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Nor I cannot woo in festival terms. That you affect; and so must you resolve, Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan, Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMMDLXII - "EETHEMESINONEW" Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Even for this let us divided live, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: Henry is dead and never shall revive: Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; More than with ruthless waves, with sands and rocks. Exampled by the first pace that is sick So are those crisped snaky golden locks If case some one of you would fly from us, Nor wittingly have I infringed my vow. Of his oath-breaking; which he mended thus, Now you are heir, therefore enjoy it now: Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Which was so strongly urged past my defence. MMMDLXIII - "HICHWONDROUSSC" Her mother, ever strong against that match It is a bawdy planet, that will strike Could trammel up the consequence, and catch Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like Who calls me villain? breaks my pate across? Or at the least this refuge let me find; No more my grief, in such a precious loss. Doth part his function and is partly blind, Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Of all treasons, we still see them reveal Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Shall more obey than to the edge of steel Shall I Sir Pandarus of Troy become, Come hither, William; hold up your head; come. MMMDLXIV - "OPEAFFORDSFAIR" O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! Pompey is moved. More Ates, more Ates! stir them Empale him with your weapons round about; As worthy cause I have to fear I am-- For my profession's sacred from above: For that he colour'd with his high estate, Of thee and me, and sighs, and takes my glove, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Disgracing of these colours that I wear Such pity as my rapier's point affords. Full well shalt thou perceive how much I dare. And to this purpose speak. Kings, princes, lords! If we do fear this body hath a tail Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. MMMDLXV - "KINDANDTRUEHAV" King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, I know this act shows horrible and grim. Now she adds honours to his hateful name; Detain no jot, I charge thee: write to him-- And she for him pleads strongly to the Moor, Nay, I do bear a brain:--but, as I said, Discharged. But come, your Bergomask: let your To my heart's hope! Gold; silver; and base lead. Reignier, her father, to the king of France Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Have loved without this mean, if on both parts As his wise mother wrought in his behalf, Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? MMMDLXVI - "EOFTENLIVEDALO" Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. For more uneven and unwelcome news Tell her I send to her my kind commends; Except some petty towns of no import: Nay, if you read this line, remember not Lest my remembrance suffer ill report; I have convey'd aboard; and I have bought Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Doth this news hold of good King Edward's death? And Nestor play at push-pin with the boys, Large sums of gold and dowries with their wives: Or any creeping venom'd thing that lives! MMMDLXVII - "NEWHICHTHREETI" No more shall cut his master. Therefore, friends, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, With 'Thanks, my countrymen, my loving friends;' How comes this, Sir John? Fie! What man of good If I would time expend with such a snipe. Can yet the lease of my true love control, His head unmellow'd, but his judgment ripe; To take him in the purging of his soul, He pours it out; Plutus, the god of gold, Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Either of you to be the other's end. The son of Clarence have I pent up close; In a light. Yet you see how this world goes. MMMDLXVIII - "LLNOWNEVERKEPT" Love's stories written in love's richest book. Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! Now, sir, who's a cuckold now? Master Brook, Of his oath-breaking; which he mended thus, When the one pure, the other made divine? Now, brother king, farewell, and sit you fast, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Right gracious lord, I cannot brook delay: Know you this ring? this ring was his of late. Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Pursue thy life, and live aye with thy name! There's nothing differs but the outward fame. MMMDLXIX - "SEATINONEWHENI" So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove That ever modest eyes with sorrow shed. I have from their confines call'd to enact Nay, come, I pray thee, speak; good, good nurse, speak. Of thy dear husband, than that horrid act Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Even for this let us divided live, Which purchase if thou make, for fear of slips Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Now, trust me, 'tis an office of great worth Into this gaping hollow of the earth? MMMDLXX - "NTHECHRONICLEO" No traveller returns- puzzles the will, To know my deed, 'twere best not know myself. Her stand she takes upon a steep-up hill: Engaging and redeeming of himself Content yourself. God knows I loved my niece; His ears up-prick'd; his braided hanging mane Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, One knight loves both, and both in thee remain. Now, as I live, I will. My nobler friends, Is thicker than a cuckold's horn,--or heard,-- Consider who the king your father sends, Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word Endure the winter's cold as well as he: O my dear niece, welcome thou art to me! MMMDLXXI - "FWASTEDTIMEISE" For though it have holp madmen to their wits, We have at disadvantage fought and did And my pretext to strike at him admits Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? Tell me, thou fellow, is not France forsworn? Even or odd, of all days in the year, Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn That highly may advantage thee to hear: I have done penance for contemning Love, Make the young old, the old become a child. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. I know her spirits are as coy and wild So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMDLXXII - "EDESCRIPTIONSO" Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. Each present lord began to promise aid, Sodden business! there's a stewed phrase indeed! Can you not hate me, as I know you do, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! I will be gone, sir, and not trouble you. Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. This doth not so, for she divideth us: Is 'mongst the dead, and all the lands thou hast Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Now, brother king, farewell, and sit you fast, Shall chide your trespass and return your mock O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. MMMDLXXIII - "FTHEFAIRESTWIG" For canker vice the sweetest buds doth love, The Roman legions, all from Gallia drawn, Have sent to thee, to receive the meed of Envenom him with words, or get thee gone For I will love thee ne'er the less, my girl. And when the mind is quicken'd, out of doubt, I see thee compass'd with thy kingdom's pearl, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Each Trojan that is master of his heart, So that, in this unjust divorce of us, To have my praise for this, perform a part Where kings command. I was, I must confess, It is not for your health thus to commit God pardon them that are the cause of it! MMMDLXXIV - "HTSANDBEAUTYMA" How smooth and even they do bear themselves! To things of sale a seller's praise belongs, Sweet rest his soul! Fly, lords, and save yourselves; And swear unto my soul to right your wrongs. Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! Doth not the crown of England prove the king? Became the next day's master, till the last Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring And there are twenty weak and wearied posts Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; The king in this perceives him, how he coasts You swore to that, Biron, and to the rest. May be he will not touch young Arthur's life, And next his throat unto the butcher's knife. MMMDLXXV - "KINGBEAUTIFULO" Knave with fortune, that she should scratch you, who I' faith, he'll have a lusty widow now, Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo Give me assurance with some friendly vow, But more for that in low simplicity Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, A wife of such wood were felicity. Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. The English army is grown weak and faint: If that same demon that hath gull'd thee thus Full of vexation come I, with complaint Unless by robbing of your friends and us. Let him depart; his passport shall be made Of that which hath so faithfully been paid. MMMDLXXVI - "LDRHYMEINPRAIS" Loud music is too harsh for ladies' heads, Drinking my griefs, whilst you mount up on high. Rescue those breathing lives to die in beds, Health shall live free and sickness freely die. You make strong party, or defend yourself Mad ire and wrathful fury makes me weep, Engaging and redeeming of himself Into the fatal bowels of the deep. Nor can imagination form a shape, Peep through each part of him: whence has he that, Rome will despise her for this foul escape. And strangers ne'er beheld but wondered at; I'll meet thee, Pyramus, at Ninny's tomb. Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom. MMMDLXXVII - "EOFLADIESDEADA" Each jealous of the other, as the stung Of either's colour was the other queen, For, well I wot, thou hast thy mother's tongue. Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send I pray you, tell me how my good friend doth. Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Swallowed with yest and froth, as you'ld thrust a Discover how, and thou shalt find me just. Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, And here's the base fruit of his burning lust. Debate it at their leisure. Welcome, count; As I all other in all worths surmount. MMMDLXXVIII - "NDLOVELYKNIGHT" Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Doth any name particular belong Like to the earth swallow her own increase. O for your reason! quickly, sir; I long. Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Lay with you in your coffer: which are now Yet, to supply the ripe wants of my friend, Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, Nay, be not angry; I am pleased again. I know what thorns the growing rose defends; Go you and enter Harfleur; there remain, How we may steal from hence, and for the gap Then, Pistol, lay thy head in Furies' lap. MMMDLXXIX - "STHENINTHEBLAZ" Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, To make more vent for passage of her breath; Here are a few of the unpleasant'st words Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Now are they but one lamp, one light, one sun. If they miscarry, theirs shall second them; Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun. That overtopp'd them all. Betray'd I am: His goods confiscate to the duke's dispose, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! But like of each thing that in season grows. Let him have time a beggar's orts to crave, And therefore fortify your hold, my lord. Zounds, he dies: I had forgot the reward. MMMDLXXX - "ONOFSWEETBEAUT" Off with that bauble, throw it underfoot. Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: Of all the world I loved and to him put For I should melt at an offender's tears, Some that will thank you, making just report When, lo! to interrupt my purposed rest, Except some petty towns of no import: Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast To tread a measure with her on this grass. Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And boding screech-owls make the concert full! Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? MMMDLXXXI - "YSBESTOFHANDOF" You all look strangely on me; and you most. Shine out, fair sun, till I have bought a glass, But to himself so secret and so close, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. So did he turn and over Suffolk's neck This is the matter:--Nurse, give leave awhile, O, let me suffer, being at your beck, For, look you, I may make the belly smile Hath not old custom made this life more sweet And never rise until my tears and prayers Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat Distasted with the salt of broken tears. On sweetest flowers, yet they poison breed. For thou hast done a charitable deed. MMMDLXXXII - "FOOTOFLIPOFEYE" For our best act. If we shall stand still, O absence, what a torment wouldst thou prove, O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill! The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, O Harry's wife, triumph not in my woes! Fear'd by their breed and famous by their birth, Let me be blest to make this happy close; Indeed the top of admiration! worth Peace, you ungracious clamours! peace, rude sounds! O, that I knew thy heart; and knew the beast, Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds: Ere you can take due orders for a priest: You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. England ne'er had a king until his time. MMMDLXXXIII - "OFBROWISEETHEI" O Cleopatra! thou art taken, queen: From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! By you unhappied and disfigured clean: Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Weigh what convenience both of time and means I would attach you all and make you stoop Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Extremity of griefs would make men mad; East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, That one might see those far-off eyes look sad. How often hast thou waited at my cup, Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; I'll kill my horse, because I will not fly. MMMDLXXXIV - "RANTIQUEPENWOU" Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, And shall have your will, because our king: Now does my project gather to a head: Their touch affrights me as a serpent's sting. I gave it freely ever; and there's none Quit all offences with as clear excuse Upon the right and party of her son? Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Pity may move thee 'pardon' to rehearse. Each changing place with that which goes before, No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. Write, write, that from the bloody course of war Or swell my thoughts to any strain of pride; Unto the legions on the other side. MMMDLXXXV - "LDHAVEEXPRESSD" Like empty purses pick'd; and his poor self, Destroy'd his country, and his name remains He would have weigh'd thy brother by himself Attended him on bridges, stood in lanes, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place eXcept to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Profitless usurer, why dost thou use Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Sir, sooth to say, you did not dine at home. Show minutes, times, and hours: but my time Drove back again unto my native clime? MMMDLXXXVI - "EVENSUCHABEAUT" Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Environed with all these hideous fears? Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. Showing fair nature is both kind and tame; Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. Cloten, thou double villain, be thy name, Henry is dead and never shall revive: And if I were thy nurse, thy tongue to teach, But from Lord Angelo by special charge. Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. And, ere I part with thee, confer at large Usurers' men! bawds between gold and want! To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. MMMDLXXXVII - "YASYOUMASTERNO" You'll find it wholesome. Lo, where comes that rock And if he hear thee, thou wilt anger him. So many hours must I tend my flock; Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, O! my fear interprets: what, is he dead? Uneath may she endure the flinty streets, Must give: for what? for lead? hazard for lead? And struck him on his knee: in that day's feats, Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. These oaths and laws will prove an idle scorn. England ne'er had a king until his time. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, No news so bad abroad as this at home; Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome. MMMDLXXXVIII - "WSOALLTHEIRPRA" When I bestrid thee in the wars and took Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault, O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Against the flint and hardness of my fault: Like true, inseparable, faithful loves, Limit each leader to his several charge, The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, He calls me to a restitution large Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. I will be mild and gentle in my speech. Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! Prescribe to other as each other's leech. Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. A law-breaker, a villain: yield thee, thief. MMMDLXXXIX - "ISESAREBUTPROP" Into the purse of rich prosperity Say how he died, for I will hear it all. Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; So that the ram that batters down the wall, And with his former title greet Macbeth. Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. By heaven, brat, I'll plague ye for that word. Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou To-morrow morning let us meet him then. Perish the man whose mind is backward now! Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon Play, music, then! Nay, you must do it soon. MMMDXC - "HECIESOFTHISOU" He doth, my lord, and is become your foe. Else had she with her father rang'd along. Come; fear you not: good counsellors lack no In that high task hath done her beauty wrong, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Since I am crept in favour with myself, O, keep me from their worse than killing lust, For Brutus only overcame himself, Thou seest that all the grace that she hath left His going I could frame to serve my turn, I think his understanding is bereft. Since frost itself as actively doth burn, Off with that bauble, throw it underfoot. Upon these eyes of thine I'll set my foot. MMMDXCI - "RTIMEALLYOUPRE" Rather than render back, out with your knives, To none of these, except it be the last; I lost my liberty and they their lives. Methought I was enamour'd of an ass. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: And I have heard it said, unbidden guests Live, and beget a happy race of kings! Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, Outlive thy glory, like my wretched self! Uneath may she endure the flinty streets, Pray God the Duke of York excuse himself! Richly in both, if justice had her right. Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMDXCII - "FIGURINGANDFOR" For what they have not, that which they possess I think his understanding is bereft. Grapples you to the heart and love of us, Upon the right hand I; keep thou the left. Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. I'll send them all as willing as I live: Now, by Saint Paul, this news is bad indeed. Grandam, I will not wish thy fortunes thrive: Answer'd neglectingly I know not what, Not, black angel; I have no food for thee. Devils' additions, the names of fiends: but For the Lord's tokens on you do I see. On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. MMMDXCIII - "THEYLOOKDBUTWI" Then white as lawn, the roses took away. How this foul rout began, who set it on; Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Your care is gain of care, by new care won: Let shame say what it will. When these are gone, Out of my lean and low ability Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, King Henry's peers and chief nobility Diana's temple is not distant far, Blaspheming God and cursing men on earth. Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Though he had twinn'd with me, both at a birth, When Clifford cannot spare his friends an oath. I have some private schooling for you both. MMMDXCIV - "THDIVININGEYES" The French king's daughter with yourself to speak-- He burns with bashful shame: she with her tears Does not divide the Sunday from the week. If they should speak, would almost damn those ears, Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? If best were as it was, or best without. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am I saw him in the battle range about; Not possible; for who shall bear your part Good madam, what's the matter with my lord? Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Your creatures, who by you have been restored: Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Speak to thy father ere thou yield thy breath! MMMDXCV - "THEYHADNOTSKIL" That brought her for this high good turn so far? He will return; and hope I may that she, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; You that love me and Warwick, follow me. He entertain'd a show so seeming just, And so offend him; for I tell you, sirs, Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. O, but I love his lady too too much, The scar that will, despite of cure, remain; Scratching could not make it worse, an 'twere such Knowing thy heart torments me with disdain, If for the last, say ay, and to it, lords. Look for the news that the Guildhall affords. MMMDXCVI - "LENOUGHYOURWOR" Let them set on at once; for I perceive East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave, O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Until my eyelids will no longer wag. Gone to be married! gone to swear a peace! Have done thy charm, thou hateful wither'd hag! Yourself again after yourself's decease, Once more, on pain of death, all men depart. Upon these eyes of thine I'll set my foot. Rome's royal mistress, mistress of my heart, Who was the first of Britain which did put On whom, as in despite, the sun looks pale, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. MMMDXCVII - "THTOSINGFORWEW" That for thy right myself will bear all wrong. Hast thou delight to see a wretched man The hedge-sparrow fed the cuckoo so long Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan Say I am dancing; if in mirth, report If this sweet lady lie not guiltless here No, my good Lord; he hath forsook the court, Go then; and with a countenance as clear From whom this tyrant holds the due of birth Of noble having and of royal hope, Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Why, sir, I gave the money for the rope. Every man shift for all the rest, and Want wit in all one word to understand. MMMDXCVIII - "HICHNOWBEHOLDT" He is frank'd up to fatting for his pains Is love a tender thing? it is too rough, Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Not changing heart with habit, I am still Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. What folly 'tis to hazard life for ill! But that's no matter; let him kill one first; Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make He left a promise to return again Or, if not so, thy noble heart to break: Like the proceedings of a drunken brain, Down therefore and beg mercy of the duke. Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. MMMDXCIX - "HESEPRESENTDAY" How far into the morning is it, lords? Establish him in his true sense again, Such pity as my rapier's point affords. Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Perhaps thy childishness will move him more Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. Each changing place with that which goes before, She was a vixen when she went to school; Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? No, gentle madam; I unworthy am To make that only true we now intend, Dispropertied their freedoms, holding them, As Stephen Sly, and old John Naps of Greece, Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace. MMMDC - "SHADEYESTOWOND" Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What! Her ashes new create another heir, A single voice; and that not pass'd me but Devis'd a new commission; wrote it fair. Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast You ne'er kill'd Imogen til now. Help, help! Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp The boy gives warning something doth approach. Or rather a disease that's in my flesh, Wouldst have me rescue thee from this reproach? Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! Now, the Lord lighten thee! Thou art a great Do their gay vestments his affections bait? MMMDCI - "ERBUTLACKTONGU" Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Rating myself at nothing, you shall see But yet, alas, stood I within his grace, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, The service that I truly did his life Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, As in revenge or quittal of such strife: Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: Keep yet their hearts attending on themselves, The quarrel toucheth none but us alone; Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves No matter, sir, what I have heard or known. Go we, as well as haste will suffer us, Unless for that, my liege, I cannot guess. MMMDCII - "ESTOPRAISENOTM" Either to die the death or to abjure Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! To-night we hold a solemn supper sir, Off with his head, and set it on York gates; Pardon me, wife. Henceforth do what thou wilt; Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid All three of them are desperate: their great guilt, I must not hear thee; fare thee well, kind maid; Staring on Priam's wounds with her old eyes, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Now serves the season that they may surprise Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. Their swords to pawn. Follow me, lads of peace; More measure of this measure; be not nice. MMMDCIII - "INEOWNFEARSNOR" If Warwick knew in what estate he stands, Now thinks he that her husband's shallow tongue,-- England, impatient of your just demands, O spite! too old to be engaged to young. When time is broke and no proportion kept! Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind; From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept Expect him here: when he shall come and find Am I a queen in title and in style, Remains in danger of her former tooth. So it be new, there's no respect how vile-- Nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth Of her confine. You should be rul'd, and led Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. MMMDCIV - "THEPROPHETICSO" This but begins the woe, others must end. He is a great observer and he looks Each hath his place and function to attend: Poor women's faces are their own fault's books. Remember since you owed no more to time Or less,--at first?--perchance he spoke not, but, Poor bird! thou'ldst never fear the net nor lime, Have need of poor ones, poor ones may make what Edward the Third, he bids you then resign That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, In spending your wit in the praise of mine. Created, for his rare success in arms, Stephano is my name; and I bring word Of that report which I so oft have heard. MMMDCV - "ULOFTHEWIDEWOR" Upon a fearful summons. I have heard Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, O Westmoreland, thou art a summer bird, For swallowing the treasure of the realm: Then, Clifford, were thy heart as hard as steel, How mean soe'er, that have their honest wills, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Why then preferr'd you not your sums and bills, If any be, the trespass of the queen. Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, What further woe conspires against mine age? Of disobedient opposition Remember so weak a composition. MMMDCVI - "LDDREAMINGONTH" Let pity not be believ'd!' There she shook Doth ill deserve by doing well; what's worse, Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look: Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. As air, as water, wind, or sandy earth, Most necessary 'tis that we forget In argument of praise, or to the worth Nor to the motion of a schoolboy's tongue, God and his angels guard your sacred throne O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Now must I to the monument alone; They burn in indignation. I repent: Hath often still'd my brawling discontent. MMMDCVII - "INGSTOCOMECANY" I cannot strike at wretched kerns, whose arms Now am I like that proud insulting ship Good parts aside I have no other charms. Salt Cleopatra, soften thy waned lip! Thou thought'st to help me; and such thanks I give Out of a fortitude of soul I feel, Create her child of spleen, that it may live One woe doth tread upon another's heel, My troublous dream this night doth make me sad. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Confess'd the vile encounters they have had And cannot brook competitors in love? Now entertain conjecture of a time You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. MMMDCVIII - "ETTHELEASEOFMY" Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, To carry that which I would have refused, These sentences, to sugar, or to gall, How were they lost? what treachery was used? Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. As shore of rock. Attend. This holy fox, Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve O hard-believing love, how strange it seems For I am almost ready to dissolve, Many sharp reasons to defeat the law. You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha! MMMDCIX - "TRUELOVECONTRO" The nimble-footed madcap Prince of Wales, Richard, that robb'd the lion of his heart Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails Each one demand an answer to his part Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Call'd to that audit by advised respects; Or, being open, put into his hands Nor to comply with heat--the young affects Take thou that too, with multiplying bans! Relish your nimble notes to pleasing ears; Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears. MMMDCX - "LSUPPOSEDASFOR" Like usury, applying wet to wet, Shall I go win my daughter to thy will? Upon their ancient malice will forget Particular addition. from the bill Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. O gentle Proteus, Love's a mighty lord, Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Disguise the holy strength of their command, And shall, or him we will accompany. Seems to prepare his way: so let him land, For I must think of that which company Our archers shall be placed in the midst Rather than so, come fate into the list. MMMDCXI - "FEITTOACONFINE" For being a bawd, for being a bawd. Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Is this the Talbot, so much fear'd abroad The father of this seeming lady and Thou hotly lusts to use her in that kind Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, And thou shalt live in this fair world behind, Come, muster men: my counsel is my shield; Of such contents as you will wonder at; Nature dispenses with the deed so far For we have nothing else to ask, but that I am your better, traitors as ye are: No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMMDCXII - "DDOOMTHEMORTAL" Dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst. Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Of all base passions, fear is most accursed.

To spend that shortness basely were too long, He would not stay at your petitions: made Else had she with her father rang'd along. Make not too rash a trial of him, for One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Remove these thoughts from you: the which before The Earl of Wiltshire hath the realm in farm. And such a wall, as I would have you think, Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! MMMDCXIII - "MOONHATHHERECL" More fierce and more inexorable far Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents, O father Abram, what these Christians are, No, I protest, I know not the contents; He doth fill fields with harness in the realm, And least proportion of humanity: That sleeve is mine that he'll bear on his helm; Harry the Fifth is crown'd. Up, vanity: Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Excepting one, I would he were the best Return, return, and make thy love amends. Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Come from the north; and as I came along Learn him forbearance from so foul a wrong. MMMDCXIV - "IPSEENDUREDAND" I cannot think my sister in the least Part of your cares you give me with your crown. Say but the word, and I will be his priest. Enow to press a royal merchant down Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Now, messenger, what letters or what news Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? Uncle, I needs must pray that thou mayst lose; Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats A vessel rides fast by, but not prepared Now, if you have a station in the file, Down with that sword! Tribunes, withdraw awhile. MMMDCXV - "THESADAUGURSMO" They might have lived to bear and he to taste Hume, if you take not heed, you shall go near Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Sweet leaves, shade folly. Who is he comes here? And when great treasure is the meed proposed, Dear lord, go you and greet him in his tent: And, after conflict such as was supposed Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. God's arm strike with us! 'tis a fearful odds. Unbuckling helms, fisting each other's throat, Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote: Matter against me; and his eye reviled O child! O child! my soul, and not my child! MMMDCXVI - "CKTHEIROWNPRES" Commends me to the thing I cannot get. King Richard might create a perfect guess Than ever at one time the clergy yet He will seek there, on my word. Neither press, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: I prithee, sister Kate, untie my hands. Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, Who, almost dead for breath, had scarcely more Nor windy suspiration of forc'd breath, Pure Chastity is rifled of her store, Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death. Ely with Richmond troubles me more near So hath thy breath, my dearest Thisby dear. MMMDCXVII - "AGEINCERTAINTI" Are you call'd forth from out a world of men Gramercies, lad. Go forward; this contents; Establish him in his true sense again, I could have well diverted her intents, No, not a whit: what! I have watch'd ere now Could be so rarely and exactly wrought, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Remember me at court; where I was taught The Count Melun is slain; the English lords A senseless help when help past sense we deem. It seem'd they would debate with angry swords. No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem The evil that men do lives after them; I would be so triumphant as I am? MMMDCXVIII - "ESNOWCROWNTHEM" Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; So honour cross it from the north to south, Nor near nor farther off, my gracious lord, O, that my tongue were in the thunder's mouth! Who is it that can tell me who I am? Cannot a plain man live and think no harm, Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them One friend to take his fortune by the arm, War-like, court-like, and learned preparations. Now march we hence: discharge the common sort Turn all to the best! These proclamations, His beastly mind to us, he hath a court Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Maids as we are, to travel forth so far! MMMDCXIX - "SELVESASSUREDA" Saving your merry humour, here's the note Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Some glory in their birth, some in their skill, An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live; Scotland hath foisons to fill up your will. Sir, sooth to say, you did not dine at home. Unless thou tell'st me where thou hadst this ring, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Discover more at large what cause that was, And Hastings as he favours Edward's cause! MMMDCXX - "NDPEACEPROCLAI" No better a musician than the wren. Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. Prove that I cannot, take me home again, Except it be to pray against thy foes. A horse whereon the governor doth ride, Chide me no more. I'll mountebank their loves, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Pence apiece of Yead Miller, by these gloves. Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Of proofs new-bleeding, which remain'd the foil Could say she were worse: think you of a worse Leads discontented steps in foreign soil, A thousand times, and now no more reflect; In brief, sir, study what you most affect. MMMDCXXI - "MSOLIVESOFENDL" Most mighty Caesar, let me know some cause, So desperate thieves, all hopeless of their lives, O, she was nought; and long of her it was Large sums of gold and dowries with their wives: I ne'er might say before. When I came back-- Visit the speechless sick and still converse Even like a man new haled from the rack, Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse, O, wert thou for myself! But, Suffolk, stay; For you all; you have horses for yourselves: Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, Disgrace and horror, that, on my command, Look'st thou pale, France? do not let go thy hand. MMMDCXXII - "ESSAGENOWWITHT" Except thou wilt except against my love. Supposing it a thing impossible- She'll none o' the count: she'll not match above Ask me what question thou canst possible, Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands.

MMMDCXXV - "LOVELOOKSFRESH" Lousy, pragging knave, Pistol, which you and On Thursday, sir? the time is very short. Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Except some petty towns of no import: Let this be granted, and Achilles' horse On any ground that I am ruler of, O thou sweet king-killer, and dear divorce Kate, eat apace. And now, my honey love, Sweet father, if I shall be thought thy son, For he's no man on whom perfections wait Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's tooth: Harry the Fifth's the man. I speak the truth. MMMDCXXVI - "ANDDEATHTOMESU" All on a heap, like to a slaughter'd lamb, Not Hermia but Helena I love: Done to me, undeserving as I am, Do you set down your name in the scroll of Else had she with her father rang'd along. And by the hazard of the spotted die This honourable bounty shall belong: He gives me so much of mine own, as I Three months this youth hath tended upon me; Out of my sight! thou dost infect my eyes. Meantime, in signal of my love to thee, Envy the great nor do the low despise. Shall then my father's will be of no force Unto a lineal true-derived course. MMMDCXXVII - "BSCRIBESSINCES" Base men, that use them to so base effect! Something; and scarce so much: nothing, indeed. Can justly praise but what he does affect: Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: If that from him there may be aught applied But, come what may, I do adore thee so, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Soft you; a word or two before you go. Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! I do entreat you, not a man depart, No bitterness that I will bitter think, Crack my clear voice with sobs and break my heart Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Still did I tell him it was vile and bad.

Rather to wonder at the things you hear Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, As did that one; and that, in my regard, My lord of Gloucester, 'tis my special hope Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears. To ask the spotted princess how she fares. MMMDCLVIII - "HATETERNALLOVE" He may, my lord; has wherewithal: in him And see the cities and the towns defaced That it will quickly drop; my day is dim.

His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm Ere you can take due orders for a priest: For here it sleeps, and does no hired harm. I would have been a breakfast to the beast, Richard hath best deserved of all my sons. Shall rain their drift of bullets on this town. There were two honours lost, yours and your son's.

The accident which brought me to her eye When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees And fall thy edgeless sword: despair, and die!-- Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Did to his predecessors part withal. For in my death I murder shameful scorn: Or give me ribs of steel! I shall split all Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Mistake not, uncle, further than you should. MMMDCLXXI - "WOULDSHOWITDEA" Which, you say, live to come in my behalf. Of Coeur-de-lion knighted in the field. Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf! Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, Doth grace for grace and love for love allow; Spur post, and get before him to the king, How now! why look'st thou pale? why tremblest thou? O, answer not, but to my closet bring Who bids them still consort with ugly night, If he arise, be mock'd and wonder'd at. That, being captain of the watch to-night, Did will what he did spend and spent not that Endure the winter's cold as well as he: And you that love the commons, follow me.

Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Right joyous are we to behold your face, Seeming to bury that posterity And nothing can or shall content my soul You may look pale, but I should blush, I know, This might have been prevented and made whole How foul it is; what rank diseases grow, Although not valued to the money's worth. To work exceeding miracles on earth. MMMDCLXXIII - "IWASFALSEOFHEA" Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; Whose bright out-shining beams thy cloudy wrath And being seated, and domestic broils She's a witch; forbade her my house and hath For who lived king, but I could dig his grave? Ay, my good lord; a son that well deserves Let him have time against himself to rave, Success or loss, what is or is not, serves Excepting one, I would he were the best On Tuesday last to listen after news. Fie, fie, Gratiano! where are all the rest? He lessens his requests; and to thee sues Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet And your unthought-of Harry chance to meet. MMMDCLXXIV - "RTTHOUGHABSENC" Religious in mine error, I adore That can I witness; and a fouler fact Taken as seen; for Pompey's name strikes more How shall we then dispense with that contract, O, much I fear some ill unlucky thing.

Graces her subjects, and her thoughts the king Harbour more craft and more corrupter ends And set them upright at their dear friends' doors, But am in that dimension grossly clad She'll be a soldier too, she'll to the wars.

MMMDCLXXV - "ESEEMDMYFLAMET" Engaging and redeeming of himself Stay, give me drink. Hamlet, this pearl is thine; England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Muster'd my soldiers, gather'd flocks of friends, Did he suspire, that light and weightless down Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's You shall like diamonds sit about his crown. Forswear themselves as often as they speak: Lead on to some foul issue: we all kneel.

MMMDCLXXVI - "OQUALIFYASEASY" Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Question, my lords, no further of the case, Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase; Lorenzo, I commit into your hands I will your very faithful feeder be, For I have served him, and the man commands You that love me and Warwick, follow me. And he the burden of a guilty mind. Spurns at his love and scorns the heat he feels, Expect him here: when he shall come and find Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels, Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. MMMDCLXXVII - "MIGHTIFROMMYSE" Most noble! in the presence of thy corse? I saw their weapons drawn: there was a noise, Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse. He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys Than their offence can weigh down by the dram; I came unto your court for honour's cause, For which I must not plead, but that I am Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, O, let me think on Hastings, and be gone Marry, and shall. But how now, Sir John Hume! My life I never held but as a pawn You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb Step forth mine advocate; at your request Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMMDCLXXVIII - "LFDEPARTASFROM" Let me have men about me that are fat; For what hath broach'd this tumult but thy pride? Double six thousand, and then treble that, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Peace and prosperity! Who is't that calls And would have kept so long as breath did last! Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Thy place in council thou hast rudely lost. And still enjoy thy regal dignity. So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word: From him that fled some strange indignity, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Or four and twenty times the pilot's glass Methought I was enamour'd of an ass. MMMDCLXXIX - "MYSOULWHICHINT" My sister may receive it much more worse, You do not hold the method to enforce Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse.

Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks, That twice she doth begin ere once she speaks. MMMDCLXXX - "HYBREASTDOTHLI" Have I not in my time heard lions roar? You have not sought her help, of whose soft grace By all the gods that Romans bow before, Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Ay, good brother, or go about to think. So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word: That, like the sun, did make beholders wink? Dead, sure; and this his grave. What's on this tomb O Perdita, what have we twain forgot! Thou slander of thy mother's heavy womb! However God or fortune cast my lot, Leaving free things and happy shows behind; I like not fair terms and a villain's mind. MMMDCLXXXI - "ETHATISMYHOMEO" Embowell'd will I see thee by and by: The strongest body shall it make most weak, He knits his brow and shows an angry eye, And let the kettle to the trumpet speak, Time hath not yet so dried this blood of mine, I fear, a madness held me: this must crave, Swooning destruction, or some joy too fine, Made glory base and sovereignty a slave, You must prepare your bosom for his knife. How often have I tempted Suffolk's tongue, Or if thou hast uphoarded in thy life Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Of sighs, of groans, of sorrow and of teen! MMMDCLXXXII - "FLOVEIFIHAVERA" For well I wot ye blaze to burn them out Long die thy happy days before thy death; Of a glad father compass thee about!

His blessed part to heaven, and slept in peace. And that my sword upon thee shall approve, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Effect it with some care, that he may prove Religion to the gods, peace, justice, truth, A loving nurse, a mother to his youth. MMMDCLXXXIII - "NGEDLIKEHIMTHA" No, my good lord; but, as you did command, Go, fellow, get thee home, provide some carts Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, Like a right gipsy, hath, at fast and loose, Intends his journey; and within three days Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Here stands the spring whom you have stain'd with mud, I will advise you where to plant yourselves; Make war upon themselves; blood against blood, Thoughts tending to content flatter themselves How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame A local habitation and a name. MMMDCLXXXIV - "TTRAVELSIRETUR" The earth had not a hole to hide this deed. Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: Ay, my good lord; a son that well deserves Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; Inform us of thy fortunes, for it seems Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Extremity still urgeth such extremes. To tell him that his sword can never win Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; Repair hither and say you are not fit. MMMDCLXXXV - "NAGAINJUSTTOTH" Not so, Sir Walter: we'll withdraw awhile. And laboured all I could to do him right; Great Mars, I put myself into thy file: And say if I shall see you soon at night. Is at last gasp: return he cannot, nor Nor be not grieved- she is of good esteem, Joint-ring, nor for measures of lawn, nor for Unless it be whilst some tormenting dream See to my house, left in the fearful guard Till they have snared the shepherd of the flock, That I do fawn on men and hug them hard Our scions, put in wild and savage stock, The queen is put in anger. You're excused: How were they lost? what treachery was used? MMMDCLXXXVI - "ETIMENOTWITHTH" Either they must be dieted like mules Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke.

Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Therefore it behoves men to be wary. What might you think? No, I went round to work Is my apparel sumptuous to behold? That I were couching with the doctor's clerk. He ask'd me for a thousand marks in gold: That unassailable holds on his rank, How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! MMMDCLXXXVII - "ETIMEEXCHANGED" Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: The wrong I did myself; which was so much, I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, Might I but live to see thee in my touch, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; eXceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Cuts beauty off from all posterity. Have done, for more I hardly can endure. And yet not so, for what can we bequeath Now by my maiden honour, yet as pure Go to; have your lath glued within your sheath Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Defy them then, or else hold close thy lips. MMMDCLXXXVIII - "SOTHATMYSELFBR" Sit, sit. The gods require our thanks. Or hath mine uncle Beaufort and myself, They join and shoot their foam at Simois' banks. Here comes your father; tell him so yourself, And with them scourge the bad revolting stars To twinkle in their spheres till they return. Matter against him that for ever mars Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? Each way and move. I take my leave of you: Less impudence to gainsay what they did For false forswearing and for murder too: But, if I bow, they'll say it was for fear. Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? MMMDCLXXXIX - "INGWATERFORMYS" I know you think to dine with me to-day, Now, by my George, my garter, and my crown,-- Goes upright with his carriage. How's the day? When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down Always a villain's office or a fool's. To blot old books and alter their contents, Either they must be dieted like mules Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. From the rich Jew, a special deed of gift, On us thou canst not enter but by death; Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath. You told not how Henry the Sixth hath lost Still live they and for ever may they last! MMMDCXC - "TAINNEVERBELIE" To-morrow truly will I meet with thee. And would you not do much to do them good? I can create the rest: virtue and she Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, Now in the rearward comes the duke and his: Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. But ne'er till now his scandal of retire. Except it be to pray against thy foes. Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Image of pride, why should I hold my peace? Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MMMDCXCI - "VETHOUGHINMYNA" Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. The sovereignty will fall upon Macbeth. Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Of that true type hath Tarquin rifled me. Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; Gain, be my lord, for I will worship thee. Hath taught us how to cherish such high deeds It shall be eased, if France can yield relief. Nothing so strong and fortunate as I. Make me acquainted with your cause of grief. You told a lie, an odious, damned lie; Now I begin to relish thy advice; And golden times, and happy news of price. MMMDCXCII - "TUREREIGNDALLF" The execution of it shall make known. Upon my party, I'ld revolt to make Return'd my letter back. Then all alone England we love; and for that England's sake Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. If any in Vienna be of worth Go hence; good night; and here stands all your state: Now, my good sweet honey lord, ride with us Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well. And from each other look thou lead them thus, Lean penury within that pen doth dwell Lo, what befell! He threw his eye aside, For what hath broach'd this tumult but thy pride? MMMDCXCIII - "RAILTIESTHATBE" Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow As worthy cause I have to fear I am-- I had forgot; three months; you told me so. Let me have open means to come to them, To make us wonder'd at in time to come. It is a nipping and an eager air. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Saucy and overbold? How did you dare Than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods How comes it then that thou art call'd a king, And thither bear your treasure and your goods. They had not skill enough your worth to sing: Beyond the infinite and boundless reach Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. MMMDCXCIV - "SIEGEALLKINDSO" Shall be a wall sufficient to defend I think the Duke of Burgundy will fast Each hath his place and function to attend: Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past: Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: And prize me at her worth. In my true heart Lash hence these overweening rags of France, Let them have scope: though what they do impart Known but by letter: thither write, my queen, If that thou be'st a Roman, take it forth; Never to speak of this that you have seen. During whose reign the Percies of the north, Shed seas of tears and ne'er be satisfied! O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? MMMDCXCV - "FBLOODTHATITCO" For thou dost fear the soft and tender fork Being once perfected how to grant suits, Let us assail the family of York. Over the boots? nay, give me not the boots. O, yes; and went between us very oft. Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' They know their master loves to be aloft, Harbour more craft and more corrupter ends And make my image but an alehouse sign. To laugh at gibing boys and stand the push I know your master's pleasure and he mine: Then, forester, my friend, where is the bush Could run as fast as thou canst. You are straight O any thing, of nothing first create! MMMDCXCVI - "ULDSOPREPOSTER" Upon a just survey, take Titus' part, Like misty vapours when they blot the sky, Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye Onward to Troy with the blunt swains he goes, Peace, Trojan; lay thy finger on thy lips! Retain that dear perfection which he owes Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Patricians, draw your swords: and sheathe them not Of all the voices that we have procured She passes praise; then praise too short doth blot. To think their dolour others have endured. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! MMMDCXCVII - "OUSLYBESTAINDT" O gentle Proteus, Love's a mighty lord, Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Shall have a thousand crowns for his reward. Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Yes, that you did, sir, and forswore it too. But weep to have that which it fears to lose. Engenders the black toad and adder blue, Some necessaries that I needs must use, The violence of either thee becomes, And of so easy and so plain a stop I sent him from the mart. See, here he comes. Now climbeth Tamora Olympus' top, Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. MMMDCXCVIII - "OLEAVEFORNOTHI" One minute, nay, one quiet breath of rest. Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. And ill-beseeming semblance for a feast. Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Either they must be dieted like mules For law is strict, and war is nothing more. Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Nor shines the silver moon one half so bright O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! This child of fancy, that Armado hight, Half of the number that King Priam had, I prithee, daughter, do not make me mad. MMMDCXCIX - "NGALLTHYSUMOFG" Next month? and are they not some of them set Good word nor look: what, are my deeds forgot? And if we be, how dare thy joints forget Let it suffice thee that I trust thee not. Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. That, though the truth of it stands off as gross Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, You all look strangely on me; and you most. She touch'd no unknown baits, nor fear'd no hooks; Unless he take the course that you have done, Mistress, your father prays you leave your books One that composed your beauties, yea, and one For when we rage, advice is often seen Give her an hundred marks. I'll to the queen. MMMDCC - "OODFORNOTHINGT" On thee, the troubler of the poor world's peace! Of many thousand kisses the poor last Dry up in her the organs of increase; From what it purposed; since, to wail friends lost O masters, if I were disposed to stir Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. Nor nothing in your letters writ of her? One word, sir: our watch, sir, have indeed The king with mighty and quick-raised power Hath from the number of his banish'd years If thou be'st yet a fresh uncropped flower, No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Great Mars, I put myself into thy file: That dims the honour of this warlike isle! MMMDCCI - "HISWIDEUNIVERS" Happy in this, she is not yet so old I cannot, by the progress of the stars, Such news, my lord, as grieves me to unfold. Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars, Is Clarence dead? the order was reversed. Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Speak to the people, and they pity her. MMMDCCII - "EICALLSAVETHOU" Extinguishing his conduct in this case; I'll make my heaven in a lady's lap, Came to your court, how I was in your grace, A knack, a toy, a trick, a baby's cap. Lordings, farewell; and say, when I am gone, Lord Timon will be left a naked gull, So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. Am sure I scared the Dauphin and his trull, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard The very tyranny and rage of his. He dies, we lose; I break my warlike word; O good but most unwise patricians! why, Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie. MMMDCCIII - "MYROSEINITTHOU" My fault is past. But, O, what form of prayer You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha! Rather, lost more. And by this hand I swear, O, but remember this another day, So please you, let me now be left alone, Early and late, debating to and fro Is there no voice more worthy than my own Never so weary, never so in woe, In having much, torments us with defect The wiry concord that mine ear confounds, That ever ear did hear to such effect: His rougher accents for malicious sounds, Or dive into the bottom of the deep, Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. MMMDCCIV - "ARTMYALLALASTI" As loud, and to as many tunes: hats, cloaks-- Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves That hath enrag'd him on to offer strokes, Must murder wives much better than themselves Your victuals: come, there is sauce for it. And this neglection of degree it is Long mayst thou live in Richard's seat to sit, Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his A halter'd neck which does the hangman thank Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand, And hid his crisp head in the hollow bank, Some heavy business hath my lord in hand, Then, were not summer's distillation left, I think his understanding is bereft. MMMDCCV - "STRUEIHAVEGONE" So do you too, where you perceive them thick. Took her own way. The manner of their deaths? Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Uplift us to the view; in their thick breaths, Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, I know I love in vain, strive against hope; He is gone happy, and has left me rich: And, as you answer, I do know the scope Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Go therefore, tell thy master here I am; Of the great count himself, she is too mean Now counting best to be with you alone, Enough to purchase what you have made known. MMMDCCVI - "HEREANDTHEREAN" How often said, my dignity would last Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Even or odd, of all days in the year, And secretly to greet the empress' friends. Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' That is to see how deep my grave is made; Have all limed bushes to betray thy wings, Even for this let us divided live, Richer than that which four successive kings Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive And out of doubt you do me now more wrong Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! MMMDCCVII - "DMADEMYSELFAMO" Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, My sceptre for a palmer's walking staff, And bids it leap from thence, where it may find Did gage them both in an unjust behalf, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. My duty pricks me on to utter that Yet should both ear and heart obey my tongue. Say now, whose suit is he arrested at? Even like a man new haled from the rack, Lord Mortimer of Scotland hath sent word For more than blushing comes to: if your back And, if the rest be true which I have heard, My lord, in heart; and let the health go round. Of hostile arms! myself myself confound! MMMDCCVIII - "TLEYTOTHEVIEWG" That will not trust thee but for profit's sake? Levied an army, weening to redeem Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Your bugle eyeballs, nor your cheek of cream, Troilus had rather Troy were borne to Greece Of common-kissing Titan, and forget That will forsake thee and go home in peace. He's not confirm'd; we may deny him yet. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Withal obdurate, do not hear him plead; God gi' god-den. I pray, sir, can you read? MMMDCCIX - "OREDMINEOWNTHO" Of such as your oppression feeds upon, Rather than rob me of the people's hearts! Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, I hope I have your good will, father Page. Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Either thou art most ignorant by age, O, let those cities that of plenty's cup What would my potent master? here I am. Now to deliver her possession up Than their offence can weigh down by the dram; Hell only danceth at so harsh a chime. Only it spoils the pleasure of the time. MMMDCCX - "UGHTSSOLDCHEAP" Under an osier growing by a brook, Go, bear them hence; I will not hear them speak. Have suffer'd like a girl: yet thou dost look Thou tremblest; and the whiteness in thy cheek So many hours must I tend my flock; Speak to thy father ere thou yield thy breath! Our scions, put in wild and savage stock, Like men born to renown by life or death. Dares stir a wing, if Warwick shake his bells. Come, guard the door without; let him not pass, Here lurks no treason, here no envy swells, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. A thing divine, for nothing natural Provokes this deluge most unnatural. MMMDCCXI - "WHATISMOSTDEAR" With horns, as was Actaeon's; and the hounds He childed as I fathered! Tom, away! And he hath bought the cottage and the bounds Take no repulse, whatever she doth say; I did present him with the Paris balls. So service shall with steeled sinews toil, Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. Of proofs new-bleeding, which remain'd the foil So longest way shall have the longest moans. To bring him here alone; although perhaps Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, Expire before the flowers in their caps, And secretly to greet the empress' friends. Return, return, and make thy love amends. MMMDCCXII - "MADEOLDOFFENCE" Most subject is the fattest soil to weeds; And ask of Cymbeline what boon thou wilt, Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? England shall double gild his treble guilt; Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Let's see for means: O mischief, thou art swift Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, For this one night; which, part of it, I'll waste Flat treason 'gainst the kingly state of youth. Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Now will I charge you in the band of truth, Commends me to the thing I cannot get. Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MMMDCCXIII - "SOFAFFECTIONSN" See where he is, who's with him, what he does: O perjured woman! They are both forsworn: From helmet to the spur all blood he was. And forced to live in Scotland a forlorn; For through this laund anon the deer will come; From open haunts and popularity. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Cuts beauty off from all posterity. The other, that he do record a gift, Is crack'd, and all the precious liquor spilt, On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt; Such garments, and such years: 'The boy is fair, No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there. MMMDCCXIV - "EWMOSTTRUEITIS" Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Wait you on him, I charge you, as becomes, My wife, not meanly proud of two such boys, O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! Sleeping neglection doth betray to loss That they pass by me as the idle wind, The only soil of his fair virtue's gloss, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave Enough, captain: you have astonished him. In kissing, do you render or receive? That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. I'll set a bourn how far to be beloved. She is Lavinia, therefore must be loved. MMMDCCXV - "THATIHAVELOOKD" That, when the greatest stroke of fortune falls, Hath my sword therefore broke through London gates, Away, captains! let's get us from the walls; The unity and married calm of states I know the reason, lady, why you ask. Had falsely thrust upon contrary feet, And stain my favours in a bloody mask, Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Let me have men about me that are fat; O, where's young Talbot? where is valiant John? Once more let me behold it: is it that Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. Descend to darkness and the burning lake! MMMDCCXVI - "ONTRUTHASKANCE" O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! No vessel can peep forth, but 'tis as soon Think you I can a resolution fetch Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Uneven is the course, I like it not. That is so vex'd with watching and with tears? However God or fortune cast my lot, And we must root him out. From your affairs Sir Robert never holp to make this leg. Knock; never at quiet! What are you? But And therefore think him as a serpent's egg Nay, sometime hangs both thief and true man: what Commends me to the thing I cannot get. Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MMMDCCXVII - "ANDSTRANGELYBU" A ragged and forestall'd remission. Nay, but thou shalt stay too: I would my son Darest with thy frozen admonition Strike at thy life. Grieved I, I had but one? There let him stand, and rave, and cry for food; Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid And tugg'd for life and was by strength subdued: No bargains break that are not this day made: Good morrow, Brutus; do we trouble you? Engaged my friend to his mere enemy, Look what I speak, or do, or think to do, Yonder's the head of that arch-enemy But by self-danger, you should tread a course Unless he seek to thrust you out perforce. MMMDCCXVIII - "TBYALLABOVETHE" Take your commission; hie you to your bands: By whom this great assembly is contrived, You have enscheduled briefly in your hands. And welcome, welcome! die where thou hast lived: Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies; Look, how thou dream'st! I say again, give out And cry out for thee to close up mine eyes, Before the wheels of Phoebus, round about Or else misgraffed in respect of years,-- Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Environed with all these hideous fears? The way which promises assurance; and Hath willingly departed with a part, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMMDCCXIX - "SEBLENCHESGAVE" Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Base men, that use them to so base effect! Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff Enough to purchase what you have made known. Never was monarch better fear'd and loved Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone; How happily he lives, how well beloved Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee Such an immodest raiment, if shame live Go to a gossips' feast and go with me; As truth and beauty shall together thrive, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMMDCCXX - "MYHEARTANOTHER" Music, ho! music, such as charmeth sleep! You mistake, knight; 'accost' is front her, board Haply when they have judged me fast asleep, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; All my abilities in thy behalf. Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. Thy hand is made to grasp a palmer's staff, Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. O, what excuse will my poor beast then find, To play the watchman ever for thy sake: He was not taken well; he had not dined: Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. MMMDCCXXI - "YOUTHANDWORSEE" You know an enemy intends you harm; Or live in peace abandon'd and despised! Untimely comes this hurt. Give me your arm. There let them bide until we have devised Her brother is in secret come from France; And the queen's sons and brothers haught and proud: Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. While summer-days do last. Ay me! poor maid, Of all rejoindure, forcibly prevents Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Subject and servile to all discontents, Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MMMDCCXXII - "SSAYSPROVEDTHE" Say thou wilt course; thy greyhounds are as swift Scotland hath foisons to fill up your will. As thou hast lent me wit to plot this drift! Your Majesty hath been this fortnight ill; Speak, or thy silence on the instant is Perhaps she cull'd it from among the rest. Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Or on Diana's altar to protest Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Enow to press a royal merchant down Damsel of France, I think I have you fast: The very train of her worst wearing gown He'll tell me all his purpose: sure, he'll come. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? MMMDCCXXIII - "EMYBESTOFLOVEN" England, impatient of your just demands, My wasting lamps some fading glimmer left, You have enscheduled briefly in your hands. But, if thou live to see like right bereft, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Should not be utter'd feebly. It is held That eyes, that are the frail'st and softest things, O, how it yearn'd my heart when I beheld For much imaginary work was there; Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade. Beware Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Nor never more in Russian habit wait. MMMDCCXXIV - "OWALLISDONEHAV" O cleft effect! cold modesty, hot wrath, With such loud reason to the Cyprus wars, As well descended as thyself; and hath Look that you love your wife; her worth worth yours. Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, I will instruct my sorrows to be proud; So many days my ewes have been with young; Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. On pain of torture, from those bloody hands Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt; England, impatient of your just demands, He was a gentleman on whom I built As I belong to worship and affect Very hardly upon such a subject. MMMDCCXXV - "EWHATSHALLHAVE" Either of king or council, when you went Who dies, that bears not one spurn to their graves How can my Muse want subject to invent, And spend her strength with over-matching waves. That shake me thus. Pish! Noses, ears, and lips. Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge: Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, And there the strawy Greeks, ripe for his edge, Left there round turrets destitute and pale. Like goodly buildings left without a roof He breathes, my lord. Were he not warm'd with ale, And I, of whom his eyes had seen the proof Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMDCCXXVI - "NOENDMINEAPPET" No more can I be sever'd from your side, O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. No masque to-night: the wind is come about; Descended of so many royal kings. Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme It did not speak before. All solemn things No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem Each hath his place and function to attend: Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end: Pinched with the colic, you make faces like Establish him in his true sense again, Than I will wrong such honourable men. MMMDCCXXVII - "ITEINEVERMOREW" In limited professions. Rascal thieves, Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Is all too heavy to admit much talk. No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Extorted treasure in the womb of earth Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Made me acquainted with a weighty cause Of civil wounds plough'd up with neighbours' sword; Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Either to die the death or to abjure What cares he now for curb or pricking spur? MMMDCCXXVIII - "ILLGRINDONNEWE" It shall be moon, or star, or what I list, Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, Lay hold upon him: if he do resist, Give me the paper; let me read the same; Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, No one but he should be about the king; Do I take part: the rarer action is One step I have advanc'd thee. If thou dost Nor once be chastised with the sober eye Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; Eating the air and promise of supply, When you perceive his blood inclin'd to mirth; England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MMMDCCXXIX - "RPROOFTOTRYANO" Return those duties back as are right fit, Plainly denouncing vengeance upon John. Revel the night, rob, murder, and commit On whom frown'st thou that I do fawn upon? O no, good Kate; neither art thou the worse For the remembrance of my father's death. There, take the crown, and, with the crown, my curse; Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. There stay until the twelve celestial signs Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them You may as well forbid the mountain pines As worthy cause I have to fear I am-- Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Of all mad matches, never was the like. MMMDCCXXX - "LDERFRIENDAGOD" Like him that travels I return again, Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir; Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, For being a bawd, for being a bawd. Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Is this the Talbot, so much fear'd abroad Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Noble she is, but if she have forgot Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; And I must know it, else he loves me not. Give me a note: your ladyship can set. Of bristly pikes, that ever threat his foes; Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. MMMDCCXXXI - "INLOVETOWHOMIA" If so your heart were touch'd with that remorse Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Let this be granted, and Achilles' horse Of all his people and freeze up their zeal, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Enough: my soul shall then be satisfied. To none of these, except it be the last; O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? What should he say? We wept after her hearse, How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, O, if, I say, you look upon this verse My deeds upon my head! I crave the law, I your commission will forthwith dispatch, And couple Clowder with the deep-mouth'd brach. MMMDCCXXXII - "MCONFINEDTHENG" Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect. Cave here, hunt here, are outlaws, and in time Or rather say, the cause of this defect, Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme For with the nightly linen that she wears I am his king, and he should bow his knee; Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Edward and Richard, you shall stay with me; Do surfeit by the eye and pine the maw, Though their injunction be to bar my doors How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Go, bear them hence; I will not hear them speak. MMMDCCXXXIII - "IVEMEWELCOMENE" I will from henceforth rather be myself, Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Else would he never so demean himself. Make an extent upon his house and lands. Environed with all these hideous fears? We do; and long to know each other worse. Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Cannot a plain man live and think no harm, Of bloody strokes and mortal-staring war. My unprovided body, lanch'd mine arm; Each changing place with that which goes before, Nay, do not struggle, for thou shalt not rise: Envy the great nor do the low despise. MMMDCCXXXIV - "XTMYHEAVENTHEB" eXcept a sword or sceptre balance it: That never meat sweet-savor'd in thy taste, Meet to be sent on errands: is it fit, Your brother and his lover have embraced: Henry the Eighth, life, honour, name and all Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place And stay, good nurse, behind the abbey wall: Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Edge, sting, or operation, I am safe: No; fifteen hundred foot, five hundred horse, These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe He needs no indirect nor lawless course Entreat her not the worse in that I pray But shall you on your knowledge find this way? MMMDCCXXXV - "ESTEVENTOTHYPU" Either to die the death or to abjure Sweet Isabel, do yet but kneel by me; To come at first when he doth send for her, Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Not three hours' travel from this very place. Than baits to fish, or honey-stalks to sheep, O wretched state! O bosom black as death! The better that your lordship please to ask. He came in thunder; his celestial breath You have a double tongue within your mask, Paler for sorrow than her milk-white dove, Upon the very naked name of love. MMMDCCXXXVI - "REANDMOSTMOSTL" Remuneration for the thing it was; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And leave you to the hearing of the cause; Nor no one here; for curses never pass Did move your greatness and this noble state My foot shall fight with all the strength thou hast; Of those that served Mark Antony but late, So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, My cherry lips have often kiss'd thy stones, Observe how Antony becomes his flaw, So longest way shall have the longest moans. Therefore my merchandise makes me not sad. Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad? MMMDCCXXXVII - "OVINGBREASTOFO" Only be patient till we have appeased Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how I thank you for your wish, and am well pleased Not that the summer is less pleasant now God for his mercy! what a tide of woes But from what cause he will by no means speak. Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, And these great tears grace his remembrance more She moves me not, or not removes, at least, Thus ornament is but the guiled shore Or I would see his heart out, ere the priest For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee, Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be. MMMDCCXXXVIII - "RMYSAKEDOYOUWI" Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Made senseless things begin to do them wrong; Yet swear not, lest ye be forsworn again. Shall never leak, though it do work as strong And this shall free thee from this present shame; Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. Envy your great deservings and good name, Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. Of nature and of nations speak aloud You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb O, world, how apt the poor are to be proud! Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, With four or five most vile and ragged foils, If holy churchmen take delight in broils? MMMDCCXXXIX - "THFORTUNECHIDE" Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Hold thee, there's my purse: I give thee not this Fie, fie, how franticly I square my talk, Or daring-hardy as to touch the lists, Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel, Unwilling I agreed. Alas! too soon, No mournful bell shall ring her burial; Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Command thy son and daughter to join hands. Hath served a dumb arrest upon his tongue; I have not stopp'd mine ears to their demands, Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MMMDCCXL - "THEGUILTYGODDE" That fears his fellowship to die with us. Have sent to thee, to receive the meed of Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less God give us leisure for these rites of love! Unto a view so false will not incline; I take it, by all voices, that forthwith Lord Titus, by your leave, this maid is mine. The kings your ancestors, together with Your father's heir must have your father's land. Grew a companion to the common streets, One justly weeps; the other takes in hand Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Dry up in her the organs of increase; Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. MMMDCCXLI - "SSOFMYHARMFULD" Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Sleeping or waking must I still prevail, O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale: Many sharp reasons to defeat the law. Yet I was mortally brought forth, and am How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, At Buckingham and all the crew of them, Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick My twelve months are expired, and Tyrus stands For I can here disarm thee with this stick Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; Look, what I speak, my life shall prove it true; Do not you chide; I have a thing for you. MMMDCCXLII - "EEDSTHATDIDNOT" Either thou art most ignorant by age, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Setting your scorns and your mislike aside, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, How covert matters may be best disclosed, And wish thee to a shrewd ill-favour'd wife? That dazzleth them, or else some shame supposed; Doth my name lodge? tell me, that I may sack If I can catch him once upon the hip, Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- Now am I like that proud insulting ship Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast, That have their alms out of the empress' chest. MMMDCCXLIII - "BETTERFORMYLIF" Bind up those tresses. O, what love I note Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which These terms of treason doubled down his throat. Thou art a soldier, therefore seldom rich; Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Recking as little what betideth me Farewell: thou canst not teach me to forget. O yes, dear friend, I pardon crave of thee, Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Me and my service, ever whilst I live, You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? Falsely to draw me in these vile suspects. MMMDCCXLIV - "EPROVIDETHANPU" England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Preeminence, and all the large effects Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? If you choose that, then I am yours withal. Do not draw back your hand; I'll take no more; Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. He was but as the cuckoo is in June, An heir, and near allied unto the duke. No vessel can peep forth, but 'tis as soon Peace be to France, if France in peace permit Until the queen his mistress bury it. MMMDCCXLV - "BLICMEANSWHICH" By whose approach the regions of Artois, Love? his affections do not that way tend; I, now the voice of the recorded law, Can any way speak in his just commend; My gracious uncle, let me know my fault: Each jealous of the other, as the stung And 'twixt the green sea and the azured vault No, my good lord; he speaks the common tongue, Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? With heraldry more dismal. Head to foot Hath heard your praises; and this night he means I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Could not with graceful eyes attend those wars How high a pitch his resolution soars! MMMDCCXLVI - "PUBLICMANNERSB" Poor living corse, closed in a dead man's tomb! Upon mine hostess there: good sir, make haste. By strangling thee in her accursed womb Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, Charles Delabreth, high constable of France; May all the building in my fancy pluck And I will wish thee never more to dance, Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. Now, lords, my choler being over-blown England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, So worthless peasants bargain for their wives, Because you know, my lord, my mother lives. MMMDCCXLVII - "REEDSTHENCECOM" Reignier, her father, to the king of France Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Doth not the object cheer your heart, my lord? So long in his unlucky Irish wars Turns into yellow gold his salt green streams. Here you shall see a countryman of yours Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Never was seen so black a day as this: Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit! Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit; O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! More fresh in Julia's with a constant eye? MMMDCCXLVIII - "ESITTHATMYNAME" Except it be to pray against thy foes. See! Antony, that revels long o' nights, I see no reason, if I wear this rose, Then, in the name of God and all these rights, That promise noble service: and they come His rougher accents for malicious sounds, Another, with his finger and his thumb, The wiry concord that mine ear confounds, Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten flint; Yet their own authors faithfully affirm Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint As, not to see a woman in that term, Moved with compassion of my country's wreck, Each in his office ready at thy beck. MMMDCCXLIX - "RECEIVESABRAND" Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Call here my varlet; I'll unarm again: Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: If you refuse it,--as, in love and zeal, Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Shall seize this prey out of his father's hands. Ah, what a sign it is of evil life, But to himself so secret and so close, Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife: And there are twenty weak and wearied posts Now in his life, against your holy oath? Dissembling villain, thou speak'st false in both. MMMDCCL - "ANDALMOSTTHENC" Affliction is enamour'd of thy parts, No more shall cut his master. Therefore, friends, Do we shake hands. All come to this? The hearts And we will fear no poison, which attends Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Men's liking: and yet he would not swear; praised Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Startles mine eyes, and makes me more amazed The agent of thy foul inconstancy, Thou hate and terror to prosperity, Here is my hand for my true constancy; Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke Cowardly fled, not having struck one stroke. MMMDCCLI - "EMYNATUREISSUB" Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, My love till death, my humble thanks, my prayers; You would have been contracted to a maid; Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Assist me, then, sweet Warwick, and I will; They are, my lord, without the palace gate. Urging the worser sense for vantage still; Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. I did not then entreat to have her stay; So fought, so followed, and so fairly won, Say we intend to try his grace to-day. Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought By fishermen of Corinth, as we thought. MMMDCCLII - "DUEDTOWHATITWO" Durst make too bold a herald of my tongue Under the blow of thralled discontent, Each jealous of the other, as the stung Dear sir, to my endeavours give consent; Together with the pitiful complaints O, what authority and show of truth Which out of daily fortune ever taints His rudeness so with his authorized youth And from this swarm of fair advantages Till I shall see you in your soldier's dress, It is war's prize to take all vantages; To trouble and disturb the king and us? Who lead thee in their riot even there Or more than any living man could bear. MMMDCCLIII - "RKSINLIKETHEDY" Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell! So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. I know your favour, Lord Ulysses, well. Nor I no more of his, than you of mine. Like stars ashamed of day, themselves withdrew; Is ebony like her? O wood divine! Know I these men that come along with you? Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Thou saw'st them, when I had prosperity. Haply your eye shall light upon some toy Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Do so: and let no man abide this deed, You are a saucy boy: is't so, indeed? MMMDCCLIV - "ERSHANDPITYMET" Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Some one take order Buckingham be brought He was the mark and glass, copy and book, And to his palate doth prepare the cup: Now, mistress, profit you in what you read? Doth with a twofold vigour lift me up Protest my ears were never better fed It wearies me; you say it wearies you; That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. Yet he talked wisely, and in the street too. My waters; on the earth, and not on him. Establish him in his true sense again, To your good prayers will scarcely say amen. MMMDCCLV - "HENANDWISHIWER" His purpose meets you: 'twas to bring this Greek Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. No, no, my heart will burst, and if I speak: Art thou not second woman in the realm, Now in good time, here comes the duke himself. Do not, in grant of all demands at large, Weary of solid firmness, melt itself If to have done the thing you gave in charge Sweet aunt, be quiet; 'twas against her will. Here is your hand and seal for what I did. If wounding, then it was to show my skill, When I to feast expressly am forbid; Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? MMMDCCLVI - "ERENEWDWHILSTL" Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Not all together: better far, I guess, Either to die the death or to abjure Who like not in their judgment, but their eyes; Dat is as it sall please de roi mon pere. Who nothing wants to answer her but cries, Hath pass'd in safety through the narrow seas, I vow'd, base knight, when I did meet thee next, Let's step into the shadow of these trees. So please you, save the thanks this prince expects: The sun itself sees not till heaven clears. Longer than I have time to tell his years! MMMDCCLVII - "IKEAWILLINGPAT" I, that did never weep, now melt with woe Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. Early and late, debating to and fro And stand upon my common part with those When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang I fear, a madness held me: this must crave, Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets' clang? Let him have time against himself to rave, I know it well, my Lord; and, sure, the match Nay, as I am a gentleman, I will. Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach. Priests pray for enemies, but princes kill. And says, if ladies be but young and fair, To parley or to fight; therefore prepare. MMMDCCLVIII - "IENTIWILLDRINK" In thy best robes uncover'd on the bier End in one purpose, and be all well borne Nor let no comforter delight mine ear Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born, If any power pities wretched tears, With other princes that may best be spared, I am compared to twenty thousand fairs. Let them be welcome then: we are prepared. Love's stories written in love's richest book. Distinguish him from others, he did keep Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. I'll watch Titania when she is asleep, No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. MMMDCCLIX - "POTIONSOFEISEL" Pronounce thee a gross lout, a mindless slave, O god of love! I know he doth deserve To bid his young son welcome to his grave? I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Not spend the dowry of a lawful bed. Such terrible impression made the dream. O, let me view his visage, being dead, From Clifford's and Northumberland's pursuit: England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, I'll stay above the hill, so both may shoot. Sorry am I his numbers are so few, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Lend me the letter; let me see what news. MMMDCCLX - "GAINSTMYSTRONG" Go, take it up unto thy master's use. And she for him pleads strongly to the Moor, I list not prophecy; but let Time's news Nay, mock not, mock not. The body of your Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, That you have no such mirrors as will turn Methinks I hear him now; his plausive words Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; So should that beauty which you hold in lease Thine own work? wilt thou whip thine own faults in Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, O, would thou wert as thou tofore hast been! Nor will he know his purse, or yield me this, Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. MMMDCCLXI - "INFECTIONNOBIT" I take it, by all voices, that forthwith Now, good sweet nurse,--O Lord, why look'st thou sad? Froth, I would not have you acquainted with Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Cannot be truly follow'd. You shall mark The noble Duke of Bedford late deceased, It was the nightingale, and not the lark, Or I would see his heart out, ere the priest Nay, let it rest where it began at first. Nothing more dear to me. You are abused Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Being create for comfort, to be used If he be credulous and trust my tale, To link my dear friend to a common stale. MMMDCCLXII - "TERNESSTHATIWI" That thou, Iago, who hast had my purse Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, Since when, his oath is broke; for, as I hear, Shall gild her bridal bed and make her rich Thy warlike hand, thy mangled daughter here: Home to your cottages, forsake this groom: And yet of moment to, for it concerns Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb I will not kiss thee; then the rot returns When the intent of bearing them is just. Is almost choked by unresisted lust. MMMDCCLXIII - "LLBITTERTHINKN" Let them obey that know not how to rule; Let us not live in France; let us quit all But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool; In this same interlude it doth befall They fell upon me, bound me, bore me thence The lining of his coffers shall make coats Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: To have them fall no more: you some permit How darkly and how deadly dost thou speak! I spake with the old woman about it. Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? Now, Lovell, from the queen what is the news? MMMDCCLXIV - "ORDOUBLEPENANC" Our scions, put in wild and savage stock, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Deservedly confined into this rock, Of that proud man that did usurp his back? Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil By heaven, brat, I'll plague ye for that word. Leads discontented steps in foreign soil, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Peace! break thee off! Look where it comes again! Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, No, not an oath: if not the face of men, And, with grey hairs and bruise of many days, Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, Cowardly fled, not having struck one stroke. MMMDCCLXV - "ETOCORRECTCORR" Else one self mate and mate could not beget That mought not be distinguished; but at last O Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet! Charging the sour-faced groom to hie as fast O, 'twas a din to fright a monster's ear, Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Content yourself. God knows I loved my niece; To meet you on the way, and kiss your hand, Change the complexion of her maid-pale peace Out of prawls, and prabbles' and quarrels, and Retain that dear perfection which he owes Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. MMMDCCLXVI - "ECTIONPITYMETH" Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Cut off the proud'st conspirator that lives. That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: If you do fight in safeguard of your wives, O, they love least that let men know their love. Never came poison from so sweet a place. Paler for sorrow than her milk-white dove, It could not else be, I should prove so base, That death in me at others' lives may laugh. Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news My sceptre for a palmer's walking staff, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Thy father slew my father; therefore, die. He be as miserably slain as I. MMMDCCLXVII - "ENDEARFRIENDAN" Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Enough to stifle such a villain up. And flatters her it is Adonis' voice. Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll For now reviving joy bids her rejoice, Real necessities, and give way the while If low, an agate very vilely cut; Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Nay, sometime hangs both thief and true man: what Doubtless he would have made a noble knight; And cry 'Content' to that which grieves my heart, No, sir, she shall not, though you take her part. MMMDCCLXVIII - "DIASSUREYEEVEN" Dispark'd my parks and fell'd my forest woods, If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, And thither bear your treasure and your goods. Speak softly, or the loss of those great towns She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, Upon whose weeping margent she was set; Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Else one self mate and mate could not beget Yea, but not change his spots: take but my shame. Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Envy your great deservings and good name, Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Now, in thy likeness, one more fool appear! MMMDCCLXIX - "THATYOURPITYIS" To me she's married, not unto my clothes. Hath Cadwal now to give it motion? Hark! And tell me, then, have you not broke your oaths? The princess comes to hunt here in the park, Your voice shall be as strong as any man's Off with the crown, and with the crown his head; Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, Particularities and petty sounds If not, the end of life cancels all bands; The wiry concord that mine ear confounds, Your legs did better service than your hands. I am content that he shall take the odds Soldiers should brook as little wrongs as gods. MMMDCCLXX - "ENOUGHTOCUREME" Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Nor ask advice of any other thought Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought God save thy Grace, King Hal; my royal Hal! Here is your hand and seal for what I did. These eyes that never did nor never shall O lady, lady, shame would have it hid! Cry the amen; and yet my conscience says Usurps the regal title and the seat Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Many a morning hath he there been seen, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MMMDCCLXXI - "YOURLOVEANDPIT" Your king and Warwick's, and must have my will. O heavy times, begetting such events! Urging the worser sense for vantage still; Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Long die thy happy days before thy death; Of stirs abroad, I shall beseech you, sir, Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Either to die the death or to abjure And question this most bloody piece of work, Nor to comply with heat--the young affects Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Preeminence, and all the large effects Is quite forgot. He was a queen's son, boys; These antique fables, nor these fairy toys. MMMDCCLXXII - "YDOTHTHEIMPRES" Your laboursome and dainty trims, wherein Discover how, and thou shalt find me just. Of brothers' temper, do receive you in The Prince of Cumberland; which honour must Hangs one that gathers sampire- dreadful trade! They shall be praying nuns, not weeping queens; His wonted sleep under a fresh tree's shade, Ere further leisure yield them further means In the fair multitude of those her hairs! May, if they think it well, let fall a tear; Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. Rather than have that savage duke thine heir Environed with all these hideous fears? Sir, pardon; 'tis for Agamemnon's ears. MMMDCCLXXIII - "SIONFILLWHICHV" So well as by reflection, I, your glass, It seems then that the tidings of this broil Of many thousand kisses the poor last Nor knows he how to live but by the spoil, Foundations fly the wretched; such, I mean, In zeal to you and highly moved to wrath Lord Warwick, on thy shoulder will I lean; Look, here's a letter from him: the state hath We must have bloody noses and crack'd crowns, He cannot be compell'd to't--once remove If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, He holds your temper in a high respect Very hardly upon such a subject. MMMDCCLXXIV - "ULGARSCANDALST" Unto the body of a dismal yew, Let me put in your minds, if you forget, God grant we never may have need of you! A Grecian and his sword, if he do set Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, She may, I think, bestow't on any man. Can make seem pleasing to her tender years? A kinder value of the people than Nay, it shall ne'er be said, while England stands, Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send A hundred thousand crowns; and not demands, Love? his affections do not that way tend; Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Tim Richard wear the garland of the realm. MMMDCCLXXV - "AMPDUPONMYBROW" A time that lovers' flights doth still conceal, Mazed with a yelping kennel of French curs! Please you to interpose, fair madam: kneel Dear life redeems you. You perceive she stirs: Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Princes, that strive by factions and by friends Or four and twenty times the pilot's glass No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Make the sea serve them, which they ear and wound Your sharpest deeds of malice on this town: Bear'st thou her face in mind? is't long or round? Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, Or that we would, against the form of law, What says that fool of Hagar's offspring, ha? MMMDCCLXXVI - "FORWHATCAREIWH" From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: Of all my buried ancestors are packed: Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live We may not think the justness of each act Henry now lives in Scotland at his ease, Am, for his love and service, so to him. There lie, and there thy character: there these; Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn! As did that one; and that, in my regard, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard If I had play'd the desk or table book, Whose memory is written on the earth Had not a show might countervail his worth. MMMDCCLXXVII - "OCALLSMEWELLOR" O, yet defend me, friends! I am but hurt. Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: And not of any challenge of desert, Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Look to thy bark: I'll not be long before Stand I before thee here. Then if thou hast Make not too rash a trial of him, for Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Which any print of goodness wilt not take, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Like a milch doe, whose swelling dugs do ache, Love give me strength! and strength shall help afford. Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. MMMDCCLXXVIII - "ILLSOYOUOERGRE" I shall have share in this most happy wreck. Long since thy husband served me in my wars, Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck Sail like my pinnace to these golden shores. Of hardiness is mother. Ho! who's here? Your cares set up do not pluck my cares down. Of English Henry, shall this night appear Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown, O gentlemen, the time of life is short! Either to die the death or to abjure Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Goes it against the main of Poland, sir, Raise up the Montagues: some others search: Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. MMMDCCLXXIX - "ENMYBADMYGOODA" Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Nay, after that, consume away in rust My lord, this is my daughter here asleep; You never had a servant to whose trust Be clamorous and leap all civil bounds As, not to see a woman in that term, Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds My lord, her wits, I fear me, are not firm: Your hearts will throb and weep to hear him speak. Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past: On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Of many thousand kisses the poor last Did ere solicit, or my hand subscribe An if thy stumps will let thee play the scribe. MMMDCCLXXX - "LLOWYOUAREMYAL" Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Which he in this adventure hath surprised, You shall have wine enough, my lord, anon. O, sir, I find her milder than she was; Uncle of Winchester, I pray, read on. And for alliance sake, declare the cause Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: My haste is very great: farewell; hie home. You that look pale and tremble at this chance, And stay here in your court for three years' space. Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace. MMMDCCLXXXI - "LTHEWORLDANDIM" Levied an army, weening to redeem The better act of purposes mistook Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; Empties itself, as doth an inland brook We see the ground whereon these woes do lie; Or not remember what I must be now! Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, And therefore do they cry, though you forbid, Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! Deserve not worse than wretched Clarence did, I do beseech you, take it not amiss; My favour were as great; be witness this. MMMDCCLXXXII - "USTSTRIVETOKNO" Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest; Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. The other turns to a mirth-moving jest, Since I came to this isle: and in the morn The unreasonable fury of a beast: Refuse me, hate me, torture me to death! I am the greatest, able to do least, Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Those petty wrongs that liberty commits, O day! O day! O day! O hateful day! Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits, Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! MMMDCCLXXXIII - "WMYSHAMESANDPR" Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit You that will follow me to this attempt, Spring crestless yeomen from so deep a root? How many of you have mine eyes beheld! Away the performance: therefore, much drink My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, She is as forward of her breeding as Are mere usurpers, tyrants, and what's worse, Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. Priests pray for enemies, but princes kill. Redeeming time when men think least I will. MMMDCCLXXXIV - "AISESFROMYOURT" Awaked an evil nature; and my trust, I hope I have your good will, father Page. She thought he blush'd, as knowing Tarquin's lust, Either thou art most ignorant by age, Stamp, rave, and fret, that I may sing and dance. France is a stable; we that dwell in't jades; Reignier, her father, to the king of France Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades, My honour'd lord, you know right well you did, Yourself? Why, do you not perceive the jest? O lady, lady, shame would have it hid! Undaunted spirit in a dying breast! Resolve me with all modest haste which way Then kings' misdeeds cannot be hid in clay. MMMDCCLXXXV - "ONGUENONEELSET" O, one too much by thee! Why had I one? Nor to one place; nor is my whole estate Good uncle, let this end where it begun; Upon her wit doth earthly honour wait, Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Not all these lords do vex me half so much Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk No glory lives behind the back of such. Even like a man new haled from the rack, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: That I may slumber in eternal sleep! MMMDCCLXXXVI - "OMENORITONONEA" O, if I could, what grief should I forget! Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, Else one self mate and mate could not beget No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. Richer than that which four successive kings I am no breeching scholar in the schools, Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things Out of the path which shall directly lead Now for the honour of the forlorn French! O, say thou for her, who hath done this deed? Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench; Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Add an immortal title to your crown! MMMDCCLXXXVII - "LIVETHATMYSTEE" Let mine own judgment pattern out my death, If you speak truth, for their poor mistress' sake; Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make The first service thou dost me, fetch that suit Having first seized his books, or with a log And thereupon thou speak'st the fairest shoot. Trust me, I take him for the better dog. Men do their broken weapons rather use You never had a servant to whose trust Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: That I distrust you. Yet, though I distrust, Except thou wilt except against my love. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMMDCCLXXXVIII - "LDSENSEORCHANG" Lord Titus, by your leave, this maid is mine. Disburse the sum on the receipt thereof: Say if I do- the laws are mine, not thine. Except thou wilt except against my love. Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up Edward will always bear himself as king: O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Could pick no meaning from their parling looks, Ha! let me see her: out, alas! she's cold: A herald, Kate? O, put me in thy books! Now, youthful Troilus, do not these high strains Give my sweet Nan this ring: there's for thy pains. MMMDCCLXXXIX - "ESRIGHTORWRONG" Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. Receive thy lance; and God defend the right! In at his window; set this up with wax Gaunt am I for the grave, gaunt as a grave, Hearing applause and universal shout, To be controll'd in that he frankly gave: On a dissension of a doit, break out Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Worthy to be a rebel, for to that Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, O me, with what strict patience have I sat, Never can blab, nor know not what we mean. Give her an hundred marks. I'll to the queen. MMMDCCXC - "INSOPROFOUNDAB" It is the bloody business which informs Nature in you stands on the very verge Such as seafaring men provide for storms; Outcast of Naples, England's bloody scourge! Punish my life for tainting of my love! Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; On any ground that I am ruler of, For he tonight shall lie with Mistress Ford. Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied; Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. No more can I be sever'd from your side, Damsel of France, I think I have you fast: And oftentimes have purposed to forbid But prosper better than the Trojan did. MMMDCCXCI - "YSMITHROWALLCA" Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. Subdued the Saxons, and did seat the French My lord, Sir John Umfrevile turn'd me back If with the sap of reason you would quench, That writes them all alike: and so of men. His mother was a witch, and one so strong Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Or keep him from heart-easing words so long, Wherein we step after a stranger march As shore of rock. Attend. This holy fox, Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Crack my clear voice with sobs and break my heart Am as well in my wits, fool, as thou art. MMMDCCXCII - "REOFOTHERSVOIC" Reveals before 'tis ripe, what thou dost know Even for this let us divided live, O short-lived pride! Not fair? alack for woe! Foster'd, illumined, cherish'd, kept alive. O noble lord, bethink thee of thy birth! To be entangled with those mouth-made vows, His thinkings are below the moon, not worth Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how One sin, I know, another doth provoke; I do not care: I'll give thrice so much land Casca, you are the first that rears your hand. MMMDCCXCIII - "ESTHATMYADDERS" Ere further leisure yield them further means Should presently extirpate me and mine To be depender on a thing that leans, Hold, take thou this, my sweet, and give me thine, And, if we thrive, promise them such rewards There is no vice so simple but assumes Mark but the badges of these men, my lords, You logger-headed and unpolish'd grooms! And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove Death, desolation, ruin and decay: Did all the chivalry of England move Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Speak for yourselves; my wit is at an end. MMMDCCXCIV - "SENSETOCRITICA" Some entertainment for them in their tents. Even like a man new haled from the rack, No, I protest, I know not the contents; So proud that Bolingbroke was on his back! Either consent to pay this sum for me The desperate tempest hath so bang'd the Turks, Of thy sharp envy. Can no prayers pierce thee? Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works. Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Into a cloven pine; within which rift The regent hath with Talbot broke his word I have a mind presages me such thrift, Could be so rarely and exactly wrought, Above the reach or compass of thy thought? MMMDCCXCV - "NDTOFLATTERERS" No, to their lives bad friends were contrary. Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Therefore it behoves men to be wary. O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! Fie, fie, Gratiano! where are all the rest? Let them not cease, but with a din confused Although I know my years be past the best, To carry that which I would have refused, The subject will deserve it. Such as give Establish him in his true sense again, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Return, return, and make thy love amends. Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends. MMMDCCXCVI - "TOPPEDAREMARKH" To use as you think needful of the man. On such a full sea are we now afloat; Plant those that have revolted in the van, Pies; mace; dates?--none, that's out of my note; English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? And, after John of Gaunt, Henry the Fourth, Romans, of five and twenty valiant sons, Effect it with some care, that he may prove My purpose was for Tarsus, there to strike And that my sword upon thee shall approve, Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Hold you his hands, whilst I do set it on. MMMDCCXCVII - "OWWITHMYNEGLEC" One day too late, I fear me, noble lord, When life is shamed, and death reproach's debtor. What, stand'st thou idle here? lend me thy sword: I hope I shall know your honour better. Tender my suit: bequeath not to their lot Here he comes with your niece: give them way till Made it for me, sir! I bespoke it not. Your king and Warwick's, and must have my will. Nay, Gloucester, know that thou art come too soon, Expecting in return twenty for one? Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon! Lest we remember still that we have none. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Coming and going with thy honey breath. MMMDCCXCVIII - "TIDODISPENSEYO" That which I owe is lost; but if you please I am content that he shall take the odds Dry up thy marrows, vines, and plough-torn leas; Of pain: nay, we must think men are not gods, Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends, Is he so hasty that he doth suppose Save when command to your dismission tends, Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad, Shed on the earth, for thy return to Rome: Extremity of griefs would make men mad; You have me, rich; and I will never fail Or else his head's assurance is but frail. MMMDCCXCIX - "UARESOSTRONGLY" Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks An anchor's cheer in prison be my scope, Reignier of France, I give thee kingly thanks, England did never owe so sweet a hope, Show, he'll not shame to tell you what it means. Once more adieu! my father at the road Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? To throw away the dearest thing he owed, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. O, that once more you knew but what you are! No vast obscurity or misty vale, Get the learned writer to set down our Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! You know there wants no junkets at the feast. MMMDCCC - "INMYPURPOSEBRE" I say she's dead; I'll swear't. If word nor oath Nothing but males. Will it not be received, Many and hearty thankings to you both. You shall confess that you are both deceived. Presents more woeful pageants than the scene Upon the head of this forgetful man Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Plant those that have revolted in the van, O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Sir Robert never holp to make this leg. Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Being so great, I have no need to beg. Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MMMDCCCI - "DTHATALLTHEWOR" Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Had I but served my God with half the zeal After your highness had reproved the duke That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: And gives them what he will, not what they crave. Like to his father's greatness: his approach, Let him have time against himself to rave, The world affords no law to make thee rich; Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Why then 'tis mine, if but by Warwick's gift. Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? MMMDCCCII - "LDBESIDESMETHI" Lead on to some foul issue: we all kneel. Deserve as full as fortunate a bed By this our book is drawn; we'll but seal, Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? See, they forsake me! Now the time is come In faith, my hand meant nothing to my sword. Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Since I came to this isle: and in the morn Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse End in one purpose, and be all well borne Thy brother Marcus tenders on thy lips: Have one man but a man? And that is it It is extempore, from my mother wit. MMMDCCCIII - "NKSAREDEADSINC" Now I begin to relish thy advice; Knows at what time to promise, when to pay. Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; And hit the woundless air.- O, come away! Rome could afford no tribune like to these. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Dry up thy marrows, vines, and plough-torn leas; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! Sent your worship a morning's draught of sack. I would not spare my brother in this case, Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done: Cast thousand beams upon me, like the sun? MMMDCCCIV - "EILEFTYOUMINEE" Even in the presence of the crowned king. I was not much afeard; for once or twice Like little frosts that sometime threat the spring, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Fly with false aim; move the still-peering air, That must strike sail to spirits of vile sort! Your oath once broke, you force not to forswear. Or, if she be accused in true report, Unless thou take that honour from thy name: My blood begins my safer guides to rule; In mine own person; holp to reap the fame Not only, sir, this your all-licens'd fool, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MMMDCCCV - "YEISINMYMINDAN" Your oath I will not trust; but go with speed England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, I hope your warrant will bear out the deed. So, by a roaring tempest on the flood, I wrote him Imogen was slain: 'tis strange: Nip not the gaudy blossoms of your love, Madam, what makes you in this sudden change? Your quondam wife swears still by Venus' glove: My lord, I have consider'd with myself I think we are too bold upon your rest: Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself Doth half that glory to the sober west, And die, unhallow'd thoughts, before you blot No, mighty liege; therefore mistrust me not. MMMDCCCVI - "DTHATWHICHGOVE" Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed Thou that wast seal'd in thy nativity Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad After so long grief, such festivity! To take the one the other, by some chance, Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl, His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France. In those unfledged days was my wife a girl; Can justly praise but what he does affect: He hail'd down oaths that he was only mine; Gods, gods! 'tis strange that from their cold'st neglect O Warwick, I do bend my knee with thine; Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMDCCCVII - "RNSMETOGOABOUT" Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. No, when my father York and Edward wept, Sorrow that friendly sighs sought still to dry; Must gently be preserved, cherish'd, and kept: Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, O, ransom, ransom! do not hide mine eyes. Greater he shall not be; if he serve God, Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Alas, the sea hath cast me on the rocks, But if you be afeard to hear the worst, O, will you eat no grapes, my royal fox? Upon a homely object Love can wink. Than was his will to get me, as I think. MMMDCCCVIII - "DOTHPARTHISFUN" Dainties to taste, fresh beauty for the use, Of my boy's face, methoughts I did recoil There is no composition in these news Having bought love with such a bloody spoil. Proud can I never be of what I hate; Am I your bird? I mean to shift my bush, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: To laugh at gibing boys and stand the push Had hoisted sail and put to sea to-day: It is the worst, and all, my lord, he writes. Snail-slow in profit, and he sleeps by day Full fifteen earls and fifteen hundred knights, Upon whose weeping margent she was set; No, thou stand'st single, thou'rt not on him yet. MMMDCCCIX - "CTIONANDISPART" Cheerly to sea; the signs of war advance: Thick-sighted, barren, lean and lacking juice, I am a soldier and now bound to France. O Caesar! these things are beyond all use, Now where is he that will not stay so long And stops her pipe in growth of riper days: Nay, come, agree whose hand shall go along, Dinner is ready, and your father stays. Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? Sent to find those persons whose names are here Preeminence, and all the large effects And sleep an act or two; but those, we fear, Rescue thy mistress, if thou be a man. To keep mine own, excuse it how she can. MMMDCCCX - "LYBLINDSEEMSSE" Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck Your treatise makes me like you worse and worse. But on this day let seamen fear no wreck; Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse I saw Othello's visage in his mind, Now is my turn to speak. Behold this child: Dumb jewels often in their silent kind So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Make holiday; your rye-straw hats put on So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, Semblably furnish'd like the king himself. England is safe, if true within itself? MMMDCCCXI - "EINGBUTEFFECTU" Exposing what is mortal and unsure If that his Majesty would aught with us, None in the world: you did mistake him, sure. Good God! why should they mock poor fellows thus? Buried some dear friend? Hath not else his eye Up to his pleasure, ransomless and free: Tut, you saw her fair, none else being by, Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, From courtly friends, with camping foes to live, Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Charles and the rest will take thee in their arms. To mar the subject that before was well? Until to-morrow morning, lords, farewell. MMMDCCCXII - "ALLYISOUTFORIT" Accuse me thus: that I have scanted all Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: Let me look back upon thee. O thou wall, Yet at my parting sweetly did she smile, If he could burn us all into one coal, So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. O, step between her and her fighting soul Upon his party: he, mistrusting them, The loss of such a lord includes all harm. Fly not; stand stiff: ambition's debt is paid. One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid I stand in pause where I shall first begin, To keep the horsemen off from breaking in. MMMDCCCXIII - "NOFORMDELIVERS" Not that the summer is less pleasant now Of Mantua, sir? Marry, God forbid, For then I should not love thee, no, nor thou Order gave each thing view; the office did Receive it friendly; but from this time forth Mine eyes smell onions; I shall weep anon: During whose reign the Percies of the north, Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, In these confusions. Heaven and yourself Values itself so highly that to her Engaging and redeeming of himself Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! MMMDCCCXIV - "TOTHEHEARTOFBI" Their wills: fill thy purse with money:--the food On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed He did, from first to last: why dost thou ask? Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. He needs as many, sir, as Caesar has; Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. And hasty, like a Scotch jig, and full as Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send To marry her, I'll add three thousand crowns Of health and living now begins to mend, Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds: But fearing lest my jealous aim might err It is not lost; but what an if it were? MMMDCCCXV - "RDOFFLOWERORSH" Rather than render back, out with your knives, Do to this body what extremes you can; Or any creeping venom'd thing that lives! For, in my conscience, I was the first man Forwearied in this action of swift speed, Look, how thy wounds do bleed at many vents! On sweetest flowers, yet they poison breed. With sleight and manhood stole to Rhesus' tents, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? Still revelling like lords till all be gone; Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. MMMDCCCXVI - "APEWHICHITDOTH" A bawbling vessel was he captain of, Performers of this heinous, bloody deed? Exist, and be a member of his love With thy keen sword impress as make me bleed: Have broken with the king; who hath so far I heard you say, 'Is not my arm of length, Comfort, my liege; remember who you are. Have robb'd my strong-knit sinews of their strength, I will both hear and grant you your requests. They buy thy help; but Sin ne'er gives a fee, Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts O, give thyself the thanks, if aught in me That suck'd the honey of his music vows, Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. MMMDCCCXVII - "LATCHOFHISQUIC" Lest thou increase the number of the dead; And you shall find me, wretched man, a thing The surge most swoln that met him; his bold head Comes armed through our watch, so like the King Hold up thy hand, make signal of thy hope. Or else the law of Athens yields you up-- From this my hand, as holding of the pope His viands sparkling in a golden cup, Insinuation, parley and base truce Submits her to thy might; and of thee craves Quit all offences with as clear excuse Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. I hold me highly honour'd of your grace: Crack thy frail case! Apace, Eros, apace. MMMDCCCXVIII - "KOBJECTSHATHTH" Knights, from my daughter this I let you know, Out of the path which shall directly lead But had he such a chain of thee or no? Justified in our loves; for indeed-- Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Come, madam, come; I in all haste was sent. Thyself a queen, for me that was a queen, Sweet love, what spite hath thy fair colour spent? Have robb'd my strong-knit sinews of their strength, And princes' courts be fill'd with my reproach. To banish your defenders; till at length He saves my labour by his own approach. These eyes that never shed remorseful tear, Here lies the east: doth not the day break here? MMMDCCCXIX - "EMINDNOPARTNOR" Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's I came before you here a man prepared Neglect the visitation of my friends. Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun. O, these are barren tasks, too hard to keep, Paris should ne'er retract what he hath done, And if the boy have not a woman's gift Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. To cross my friend in his intended drift No, I protest, I know not the contents; O, who can give an oath? where is a book? Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. MMMDCCCXX - "HISOWNVISIONHO" Hath my sword therefore broke through London gates, It will determine one way: fare you well. Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! Of all thy suitors here I charge thee tell Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite; No great offence belongs to't, give your friend Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight It will outrun you, father, in the end. Solicit Henry with her wondrous praise: If that be sin, I'll make it my morn prayer O heresy in fair, fit for these days! Nor tripp'd neither, you base football player? Have to you, but with thanks to God for such O, speak no more, for I have heard too much. MMMDCCCXXI - "LDSWHATITDOTHC" Live you the marble-breasted tyrant still; Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; She keeps thee to this purpose, that her skill Which underneath thy black all-hiding cloak He likewise gives a frock or livery, And fly would Talbot never, though he might. That he would labour my delivery. I have no mind of feasting forth to-night: That wear this world out to the ending doom. Dial is now upon the prick of noon. Or who is he so fond will be the tomb To spite me now, each minute seems a moon; How say you now? is not your husband mad? Consent to pay thee that I never had! MMMDCCCXXII - "ATCHFORIFITSEE" As they pass by, pluck Casca by the sleeve; To stain my cousin with: one doth not know Comfort, my lord; and so I take my leave. How foul it is; what rank diseases grow, For which I must not plead, but that I am Of Pericles, to rage the city turn, Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them If in which time expired, he not return, For Warwick and his friends, God and Saint George! If virtue's gloss will stain with any soil, To make me hunger more; that I should forge So puts himself unto the shipman's toil, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MMMDCCCXXIII - "THERUDESTORGEN" That suck'd the honey of his music vows, How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Ready to catch each other by the throat, Under an osier growing by a brook, Did see and hear, devise, instruct, walk, feel, Else you may be marvellously mistook. Shall more obey than to the edge of steel The argument all bare is of more worth Or nature makes me suddenly relent. Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, Great king, within this coffin I present Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Now, good sweet nurse,--O Lord, why look'st thou sad? MMMDCCCXXIV - "TLESTSIGHTTHEM" That wear those colours on them: what art thou, Look with a gentle eye upon this wretch! Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Show me, my women, like a queen: go fetch Those girls of Italy, take heed of them: Such dear concernings hide? Who would do so? If I do not usurp myself, I am. Gives in your weakness strength unto your foe, Ha! what sayest thou? Why, the end is, he hath The purchase made, the fruits are to ensue; The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Have at you for a bitter jest or two. Exposing what is mortal and unsure My widow-comfort, and my sorrows' cure! MMMDCCCXXV - "OSTSWEETFAVOUR" O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, See how this river comes me cranking in, Take thou that too, with multiplying bans! Small curs are not regarded when they grin; Were fit for thee to use as they to claim, Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Envy your great deservings and good name, The very tyranny and rage of his. For scorn at first makes after-love the more. As Agamemnon and the hand of Greece Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease; Under that bond that him as fast doth bind. Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. MMMDCCCXXVI - "ORDEFORMEDSTCR" Only, good master, while we do admire Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; Doth too too oft betake him to retire, Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Find thou the means, and I'll find such a man. Of any constant man. What, worse and worse! Reprove my allegation, if you can; My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. England, impatient of your just demands, Did broach this business to your highness; or Seek you to seize and gripe into your hands Though words come hindmost, holds his rank before. Cold death aside, and with the other sends Return, return, and make thy love amends. MMMDCCCXXVII - "EATURETHEMOUNT" Enter, and cry 'The Dauphin!' presently, As air, as water, wind, or sandy earth, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. Repeat their semblance often on the seas, Envy the great nor do the low despise. This fellow pecks up wit as pigeons pease, Here friend by friend in bloody channel lies, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Meantime, but think how I may do thee good, Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! Nor hold the sceptre in his childish fist, To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list! MMMDCCCXXVIII - "AINORTHESEATHE" As if we were God's spies; and we'll wear out, In human action and capacity, No masque to-night: the wind is come about; Of spirit, Life, and bold audacity. Repair hither and say you are not fit. The king is full of grace and fair regard. His weapons holy saws of sacred writ, Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard She married. O, most wicked speed, to post Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; And having thee, of all men's pride I boast: Tell us where 'tis, that we may take it thence Have studied physic, through which secret art, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMMDCCCXXIX - "DAYORNIGHTTHEC" Dissembling villain, thou speak'st false in both. Arise to let him in: he is call'd up. You would for paradise break faith, and troth; O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Not with fond shekels of the tested gold, If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain; Give me some present counsel, or, behold, How now! what means this, herald? know'st thou not The letter was not nice but full of charge The dark and vicious place where thee he got He calls me to a restitution large Expecting in return twenty for one? Cast thousand beams upon me, like the sun? MMMDCCCXXX - "ROWORDOVEITSHA" Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Of woman in me: now from head to foot Whose hand is that the forest bear doth lick? Off with that bauble, throw it underfoot. Richard hath best deserved of all my sons. Disguised like Muscovites, in shapeless gear; O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Except it be to pray against thy foes. I cannot be much lower than my knees. To him again: tell him he wears the rose Stern Falconbridge commands the narrow seas; Had tongue at will and yet was never loud, And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud? MMMDCCCXXXI - "PESTHEMTOYOURF" Paler for sorrow than her milk-white dove, Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; She conjures him by high almighty Jove, There were two honours lost, yours and your son's. Hence to wait; I beseech you, follow straight. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Mine honour keeps the weather of my fate: The prince my brother hath outgrown me far. O, she was nought; and long of her it was You bloody Neroes, ripping up the womb O lady, weep no more, lest I give cause Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Reply not in how many fathoms deep Follows not thee: therefore thou art a sheep. MMMDCCCXXXII - "EATUREINCAPABL" Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. All the charactery of my sad brows: Troilus had rather Troy were borne to Greece Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Rome shall record, and when I do forget Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet I'll pay that doctrine, or else die in debt. Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat Come all to help him, and so stop the air And vice sometimes by action dignified. Pardon this fault, and by my soul I swear And so I was; which plainly signified Be of good comfort, prince; for you are born Lest she should steal a kiss and die forsworn. MMMDCCCXXXIII - "EOFMOREREPLETE" Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Offers, as I do, in a sign of peace, Further I will not flatter you, my lord, More measure of this measure; be not nice. Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Richly in two short hours. Only they Endue you with the people's voice: remains Roaring for Troilus, who hath done to-day Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Prizes not quantity of dirty lands; Lend me your knees, and all my life to come England, impatient of your just demands, To make that only true we now intend, Either of you to be the other's end. MMMDCCCXXXIV - "WITHYOUMYMOSTT" Which, rank of goodness, would by ill be cured: I do not know that Englishman alive Talkers are no good doers: be assured How many years a mortal man may live. You will not do't for all the world, I hope. O Clifford, how thy words revive my heart! Upon your stubborn usage of the pope; Myself the while to draw the Moor apart, Your father's sickness is a maim to us. My life stands in the level of your dreams, Of this his nephew's purpose, to suppress Speed more than speed but dull and slow she deems: Though woe be heavy, yet it seldom sleeps, There make before them. Look, the good man weeps! MMMDCCCXXXV - "RUEMINDTHUSMAK" Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; Empale him with your weapons round about; My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: If we be conquer'd, let men conquer us, Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, Do me but right, and you must all confess That dwell in vegetives, in metals, stones; He is my prize; I will not look upon. Ungovern'd youth, to wail it in their age; So with his steerage shall your thoughts grow on,-- My brother's love, the devil, and my rage. A dire induction am I witness to, Know I these men that come along with you? MMMDCCCXXXVI - "ESMINEEYEUNTRU" Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. So thou be good, slander doth but approve My duty to you both, on equal love, If but for fear of this, thy will remove; Nor what is mine shall never do thee good: Envy your great deservings and good name, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, You are amazed, my liege, at her exclaim: England ne'er had a king until his time. Upon a wooden coffin we attend, Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme Take not her part; for, if thou dost intend Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Under love's heavy burden do I sink. MMMDCCCXXXVII - "EORWHETHERDOTH" Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Return, return, and make thy love amends. Why, I will fight with him upon this theme Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. The anointed sovereign of sighs and groans, Hast thou observed that? even she, I mean. Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Did I put Henry from his native right? On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Tooth-ache: but a man that were to sleep your Have I not in my time heard lions roar? MMMDCCCXXXVIII - "MYMINDBEINGCRO" Mistress Bianca, bless you with such grace You heard her say herself, it was not I. My father watches. O sir, fly this place! I shall not find myself so apt to die: Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Do you see this? Look on her! look! her lips! But pearls are fair; and the old saying is, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: I would have left it on the board so soon Now, God be praised, that to believing souls Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon! Cursed be the hand that made these fatal holes! Robs the vast sea: the moon's an arrant thief, O, this will make my mother die with grief! MMMDCCCXXXIX - "WNDWITHYOUDRIN" When my dimensions are as well compact, No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Doing the execution and the act What, all my pretty chickens and their dam Is tears and heavy sorrows of the blood The bruit thereof will bring you many friends. Here stands the spring whom you have stain'd with mud, You envy my advancement and my friends': O thou good Kent, how shall I live and work Upon his bad life to make all this good, Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood It is so grounded inward in my heart. No, sir, she shall not, though you take her part. MMMDCCCXL - "KUPTHEMONARCHS" Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. Under your testy humour? By the gods Pursued my humour not pursuing his, This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Have patience, sir; O, let it not be so! Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, My native English, now I must forego: O, none, unless this miracle have might, No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings As I did sleep under this yew-tree here, Richer than that which four successive kings Come, Proteus; 'tis your penance but to hear Her father hath commanded her to slip Salt Cleopatra, soften thy waned lip! MMMDCCCXLI - "PLAGUETHISFLAT" Pewter and brass, and all things that belongs Let not the jealous Day behold that face And swear unto my soul to right your wrongs. Good time of day unto your royal grace! Unto a youthful gentleman of worth, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Thy burning car never had scorch'd the earth! Hostility and civil tumult reigns I would the state of time had first been whole Shall be my winding-sheet. Why faint you, lords? For you must know, we have with special soul Look for the news that the Guildhall affords. At last, a little shaking of mine arm, To make bad good, and good provoke to harm. MMMDCCCXLII - "TERYORWHETHERS" Take I your wish, I leap into the seas, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Rome could afford no tribune like to these. You must no more call it York-place, that's past; Or like a gallant horse fall'n in first rank, Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. When on the gentle Severn's sedgy bank, How now, good Blunt? thy looks are full of speed. Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; That would be ten days' wonder at the least. Have done! for shame, if not for charity. Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid Sir, give him head; I know he'll prove a jade. MMMDCCCXLIII - "HALLISAYMINEEY" Her uncle Rivers; yea, and, for her sake, And so by many winding nooks he strays Let us do so: for we are at the stake, Lavinia, live; outlive thy father's days, In the rare semblance that I loved it first. Subdued me to her rate: she got the ring; Alack, for lesser knowledge! how accursed Your greeting is from him, not from the king. Must be provided for: and you shall put If that the Dauphin there, thy princely son, Nay, stand thou back, I will not budge a foot: Expecting in return twenty for one? Even like a man new haled from the rack, Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. MMMDCCCXLIV - "ESAITHTRUEANDT" Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Soon kindled and soon burnt; carded his state, Ay, so I fear; the more is my unrest. I would I had; so I had broke thy pate, The ladder made of cords, and all the means His rougher accents for malicious sounds, The sacred honour of himself, his queen's, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Upon his compass'd crest now stand on end; Establish him in his true sense again, An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen; Do it in hope of fair advantages: To match with her that brings no vantages. MMMDCCCXLV - "HATYOURLOVETAU" Him: discuss the same in French unto him. After the shepherd that complain'd of love, They come like sacrifices in their trim, You have forgot the will I told you of. Of Edward king, the third of that descent: Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Like or find fault; do as your pleasures are: O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Employ'd you where high profits might come home, The manner of their taking may appear And send the hearers weeping to their beds: Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads? MMMDCCCXLVI - "GHTITTHISALCHE" Go with me; if you like upon report Haste, signify so much; while we attend, To spoil the city and your royal court. It is your grace's pleasure to commend; To make bad good, and good provoke to harm. That what he will he does, and does so much His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm I give to both your speeches, which were such Strange things I have in head, that will to hand; And should, if I were worthy to be judge, Lord of his fortunes he salutes thee, and Come, come, and sit you down. You shall not budge; He, he, and you, and you, my liege, and I, Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MMMDCCCXLVII - "MYTOMAKEOFMONS" My lord the emperor, resolve me this: Your grief, the common grief of all the land. Thus have you heard me sever'd from my bliss; O princely Buckingham I'll kiss thy hand, Men do their broken weapons rather use And winds of all the comers kiss'd your sails, Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Fly, to revenge my death, if I be slain. Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks; One knight loves both, and both in thee remain. No, not to stay the finding of the axe, Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. MMMDCCCXLVIII - "TERSANDTHINGSI" That hath been breeder of these dire events. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. She hearkens for his hounds and for his horn: A thievish living on the common road? Not very well; but I have met him oft; Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed They know their master loves to be aloft, How soon my sorrow hath destroy'd my face. I do beseech you, take it not amiss; Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place, Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. So, by my former lecture and advice, I could marry this wench for this device. MMMDCCCXLIX - "NDIGESTSUCHCHE" Nothing but males. Will it not be received, Do I entice you? do I speak you fair? I do not greatly care to be deceived, Good God, these nobles should such stomachs bear! Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Since, spite of him, I'll live in this poor rhyme, Then be not poor, but break it, and take this. So hallow'd and so gracious is the time. Upon the beauty of all parts besides, Can be at once, shall step by step attend How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, Can any way speak in his just commend; High sparks of honour in thee have I seen. Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MMMDCCCL - "RUBINSASYOURSW" Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Unheard. Lychorida!--Lucina, O But are not some whole that we must make sick? I read it in the grammar long ago. Nearer in bloody thoughts, but not in blood, So in the earth, to this day is not known: As may be in the world: his youth in flood, Scarcely have coveted what was mine own, Your eldest daughters have fordone themselves, On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns She wildly breaketh from their strict embrace, Why did you bring these daggers from the place? MMMDCCCLI - "EETSELFRESEMBL" Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Troy must not be, nor goodly Ilion stand; Send for the county; go tell him of this: Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, For look how fresh she looks! They were too rough Rich preys make true men thieves; so do thy lips England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Such as the day is when the sun is hid. Extorted treasure in the womb of earth My honour'd lord, you know right well you did, But weep to have that which it fears to lose. Lend me the letter; let me see what news. MMMDCCCLII - "ECREATINGEVERY" Expect him here: when he shall come and find Can any way speak in his just commend; Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Either of you to be the other's end. And fawn on rage with base humility, To-morrow will I wear it on my helm, Into her womb convey sterility; Now when the lords and barons of the realm Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. Visit the speechless sick and still converse Else you may be marvellously mistook. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Yes, that thou didst: didst thou see any thing? MMMDCCCLIII - "BADAPERFECTBES" Bear that proportion to my flesh and blood And you yourself shall steer the happy helm. Devoured by the unexpected flood. And lookest to command the prince and realm. Pity was all the fault that was in me; Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Revive, look up, or I will die with thee! Forsooth, a blind man at Saint Alban's shrine, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Comes from my love. But I do see you're moved: To tread a measure with you on this grass. But treasons capital, confess'd and proved, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Stand close awhile, for here comes one in haste. MMMDCCCLIV - "TASFASTASOBJEC" That in the ocean seeks another drop, And dout them with superfluous courage, ha! Say that I linger'd with you at your shop For the intent and purpose of the law A' was a merry man--took up the child: Stand where the torch may not discover us. This palpable-gross play hath well beguiled And your great love to me restrains you thus: Such temperate order in so fierce a cause, Or dare to bring thy force so near the court. But let him from my thoughts. What think you, coz, Join with me to forbid him her resort; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Come quickly, Montague, or I am dead. MMMDCCCLV - "TSTOHISBEAMSAS" This shall be done, good father, presently. Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Out of my lean and low ability How I have ever loved the life removed I would have had thee there, and here again, She hath assay'd as much as may be proved; But me and mine: how happy art thou, then, Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What And for his ordinary pays his heart My chaplain to no creature living, but So do not I: go, coward as thou art. And wear it in my heart. Why, then, be sad; Spoke like an officer- ha' to thee, lad. MMMDCCCLVI - "SEMBLEOTISTHEF" Shut up in prison, kept without my food, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Mistress of passion, sways it to the mood But creep in crannies when he hides his beams. Look, how thou dream'st! I say again, give out Extremity of griefs would make men mad; O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! This told, I joy; but then no longer glad, In the end of autumn turned to the rams, So, now bring them in, for I'll play the cook, To revel in the entrails of my lambs. Have suffer'd like a girl: yet thou dost look Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Fairies, begone, and be all ways away. MMMDCCCLVII - "IRSTTISFLATTER" I say she shall. And first begin with her. Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; Suffer thy brother Marcus to inter To trust the opportunity of night That the old carlot once was master of. In sooth, good friend, your father might have kept Shall ne'er look back, ne'er ebb to humble love, From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! A begging prince what beggar pities not? That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. To rid the realm of this pernicious blot? Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MMMDCCCLVIII - "YINMYSEEINGAND" Your oaths are pass'd; and now subscribe your names, I ought to know of: and, upon my knees, Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims My daughter shall be Henry's, if he please. You make strong party, or defend yourself So doth the swan her downy cygnets save, Else would he never so demean himself. Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! It is the purpose that makes strong the vow; Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats; Going to chapel; and the voice is now And won her soul; and she, sweet lady, dotes, Nay, an there were two such, we should have none Devise strange deaths for small offences done? MMMDCCCLIX - "MYGREATMINDMOS" More than mistrust, that shows him worthy death. You never spoke what did become you less Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath: Resolvedly more leisure shall express: England did never owe so sweet a hope, And with his mad attendant and himself, Thou drunken slave, I sent thee for a rope; My frail mortality to know itself, I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours No bitterness that I will bitter think, Discredit my authority with yours; Makes me with heavy nothing faint and shrink. Or but a sickly part of one true sense Self-harming jealousy! fie, beat it hence! MMMDCCCLX - "TKINGLYDRINKSI" Tell me precisely of what complexion. Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, It shows my earnestness of affection- Nay, if you stare, we shall hear more anon. Gone! they went hence so soon as they were born: Let him have time a beggar's orts to crave, Your grace, that fed my country with your corn, Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, I'll make the statue move indeed, descend Nor fear of bad success in a bad cause, Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, Slack'd, not suppress'd; for standing by her side, Is my lord well, that he doth speak so wide? MMMDCCCLXI - "TUPMINEEYEWELL" That Angelo's forsworn; is it not strange? Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil Patience, I say; your mind perhaps may change. Methinks already in this civil broil I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Nimbly she fastens:--O, how quick is love!-- Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. You do it for increase: O strange excuse, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Who in this dull and long-continued truce Even or odd, of all days in the year, Let me look back upon thee. O thou wall, Let him not know't, and he's not robb'd at all. MMMDCCCLXII - "KNOWSWHATWITHH" Kissing carrion- Have you a daughter? Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge O Dionyza, such a piece of slaughter We may of their encounter frankly judge So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, With courtesy and with respect enough; How couldst thou drain the life-blood of the child, And would not take their part? Sinful Macduff, To give in evidence. What then? What rests? What, all in motion? Henceforth be no feast, I will both hear and grant you your requests. Then 'tis but reason that I be released Had of your father claim'd this son for his? He is no less than what we say he is. MMMDCCCLXIII - "ISGUSTISGREEIN" In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood; Stop close their mouths, let them not speak a word. Give me some music; music, moody food Upon a fearful summons. I have heard Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp The life, the right and truth of all this realm If, in thy wisdom, thou canst give no help, Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Go in and cheer the town: we'll forth and fight, Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains England shall give him office, honour, might; Endue you with the people's voice: remains It doth, my worthy lord; and in this match No doubt but he hath got a quiet catch. MMMDCCCLXIV - "GANDTOHISPALAT" Great men should drink with harness on their throats. Alive and dead, and for their brethren slain Not for Cadwallader and all his goats. During the time Edward the Third did reign. Though not for me, yet for your aching bones. Of soft petitions, pity and remorse, His form and cause conjoin'd, preaching to stones, Into one giant arm, it shall not force She is as forward of her breeding as Prepare, I say. I thank you, gracious lords, A million more, now lost,--she, Eros, has Look for the news that the Guildhall affords. And whatsoever cunning fiend it was Thou dost not wish more help from England, coz? MMMDCCCLXV - "EDOTHPREPARETH" Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Doors, that were ne'er acquainted with their wards O, him she stores, to show what wealth she had Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords. His phoenix down began but to appear Prescribe to other as each other's leech. Rather to wonder at the things you hear Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Pure Chastity is rifled of her store, A stanchless avarice that, were I king, Religious in mine error, I adore Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw. He is not with himself; let us withdraw. MMMDCCCLXVI - "ECUPIFITBEPOIS" Endue you with the people's voice: remains Come, put mine armour on; give me my staff. Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Philip of France, in right and true behalf Is but the seemly raiment of my heart, For ever and for ever shall be yours. I have with such provision in mine art The mere despair of surgery, he cures, But fierce Andronicus would not relent; Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Pitiful thrivers, in their gazing spent? O, keep me from their worse than killing lust, I have inform'd his highness so at large She had her breeding at my father's charge. MMMDCCCLXVII - "ONDTISTHELESSE" Old John of Gaunt is grievous sick, my lord, No messenger, but thine; and all alone Dumain was at my service, and his sword: Think'st thou that I will leave my kingly throne, If any ship put out, then straight away. So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? This night forestall him of the coming day! Hath brought me up to be your daughter's dower, Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Look to't, think on't, I do not use to jest. Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast! Shall, for thy love, kill a far truer love; Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMMDCCCLXVIII - "RSINTHATMINEEY" Ready to catch each other by the throat, Set foot under thy table. Tut, a toy! I see thy age and dangers make thee dote. Needs must I like it well: I weep for joy That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke His eye is hollow, and he changes much. And make me travel forth without my cloak, To nature none more bound; his training such, My father, Earl of Cambridge, lost his head. If he see aught in you that makes him like, Not to be gone from hence; for once I read Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Yet should both ear and heart obey my tongue. MMMDCCCLXIX - "ELOVESITANDDOT" Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Lords, take your places; and, I pray you all, Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; She will be sick else. This day, no man think I have no will to wander forth of doors, That, like the sun, did make beholders wink? And in my vantbrace put this wither'd brawn, Nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth Dally not with the gods, but get thee gone. Deep in the thigh, a spectacle of ruth! O Caesar! these things are beyond all use, They'll be in scarlet straight at any news. MMMDCCCLXX - "HFIRSTBEGINTHO" He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. Foster'd, illumined, cherish'd, kept alive. It is the lesser blot, modesty finds, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, To fight on Edward's party for the crown; Between these woolly breeders in the act, Enow to press a royal merchant down Gather the sequel by that went before. If at Philippi we do face him there, No. madam, he does nothing but smile: your Then, as you are as virtuous as fair, He will do all in all as Hastings doth. One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. MMMDCCCLXXI - "SELINESTHATIBE" Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Lady, you know no rules of charity, It will not let you eat, nor talk, nor sleep, Never pray more; abandon all remorse; Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, Sir Walter Blunt, new lighted from his horse. Thou great commander, nerve and bone of Greece, Her other tender hand his fair cheek feels: A milk-sop, one that never in his life That have outlived the eagle, page thy heels, It tutors nature: artificial strife By bud of nobler race: this is an art Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMMDCCCLXXII - "FOREHAVEWRITDO" Faith, thou hast some crotchets in thy head. Now, Or any groat I hoarded to my use, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Here on this grass-plot, in this very place, And thou art wedded to calamity. Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. England and France might, through their amity, With such loud reason to the Cyprus wars, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live I have a heart as little apt as yours, Tell you the duke, shall prosper: bid him strive Do, good old grandsire, and withal make known O, my good lord, why are you thus alone? MMMDCCCLXXIII - "LIEEVENTHOSETH" Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: I summon up remembrance of things past, Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Now, by my sceptre's awe, I make a vow, That from his loins no hopeful branch may spring, He that perforce robs lions of their hearts Or Edward's soft and pitiful, like mine Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Take on himself the sovereignty thereof: How does your lady? and how thrives your love? MMMDCCCLXXIV - "ATSAIDICOULDNO" Amazedly in her sad face he stares: The tucket sonance and the note to mount; Scorn and derision never come in tears: Are made already mothers: by my count, In him that should compare. I do not think Do I put up that womanly defence, I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink. Come on, you thick lipp'd slave, I'll bear you hence; Of my consent that she should be your wife. Upon offenders, hath exceeded law, Lives in these touches, livelier than life. Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: No, when my father York and Edward wept, Or, when you wak'd, so wak'd as if you slept. MMMDCCCLXXV - "TLOVEYOUDEARER" That 'twixt his mental and his active parts Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his O, he sits high in all the people's hearts: Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard You are transported by calamity Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Us friends; I will pursue the amity. Do all expect that you should rouse yourself, Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast And, Nevil, this I do assure myself: Revenue, execution of the rest, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. MMMDCCCLXXVI - "YETTHENMYJUDGM" You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; Enow to press a royal merchant down The Destinies will curse thee for this stroke; The resignation of thy state and crown Hath made thee handless in thy father's sight? Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Now stole upon the time the dead of night, More measure of this measure; be not nice. Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. Justice to break her sword! One more, one more. Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: Divide your happy England into four; Good King, that must approve the common saw, My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. MMMDCCCLXXVII - "ENTKNEWNOREASO" Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? That hast deceived so many with thy vows? King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, Nor mother, wife, nor England's counted queen. Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen! None wed the second but who killed the first. O unfelt sore! crest-wounding, private scar! Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; As stooping to relieve him: I not doubt See better, Lear, and let me still remain O valiant lord, the Duke of York is slain! MMMDCCCLXXVIII - "NWHYMYMOSTFULL" Now, mistress, profit you in what you read? Which you, mistaking, offer up to joy. He's sudden, if a thing comes in his head. You know my mind, I'll fight no more 'gainst Troy. Mine shall not do his Julia so much wrong. You tread upon my patience: but be sure Methinks I should not thus be led along, O, she is rich in beauty, only poor, Sweet rest his soul! Fly, lords, and save yourselves; That ever I shall breathe. God knows, my son, For want of means, poor rats, had hang'd themselves: Unless he take the course that you have done, Look after him and cannot do him good, Look that you take upon you as you should. MMMDCCCLXXIX - "FLAMESHOULDAFT" For who digs hills because they do aspire Lo, at this tomb my tributary tears A landless knight makes thee a landed squire. My friends and brethren in these great affairs, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. She marking them begins a wailing note He like a thievish dog creeps sadly thence; Or being wreck'd, I am a worthless boat, Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; Like powder in a skitless soldier's flask, Doth fat me with the very thoughts of it! A jewel, lock'd into the wofull'st cask For beauty starved with her severity Thou saw'st them, when I had prosperity. MMMDCCCLXXX - "ERWARDSBURNCLE" Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Richer than that which four successive kings When second husband let me be accurst! A glooming peace this morning with it brings; Rather than render back, out with your knives, Draws on apace; four happy days bring in So is it in the music of men's lives. But self-affrighted tremble at his sin. Upon whose dead corpse there was such misuse, Remove these thoughts from you: the which before Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse Cheer.' So a' cried out 'God, God, God!' three or Lies at the mercy of his mortal sting. Even in the presence of the crowned king. MMMDCCCLXXXI - "ARERBUTRECKONI" A saint-like sorrow: no fault could you make, Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; England we love; and for that England's sake Regard me as I do not flatter, and But rather one that smiles and still invites Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: The grosser manner of these world's delights Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Commends me to the thing I cannot get. Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Of dear import, and the neglecting it Not shall we need his help these fourteen days. In courtesy gives undeserving praise. MMMDCCCLXXXII - "NGTIMEWHOSEMIL" No better than the earth he lies upon, Gazing upon the Greeks with little lust: To wind, to stop, to run directly on, In time I may believe, yet I mistrust. My lords, we were forewarned of your coming, Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. We'll see your trinkets here all forthcoming. Here are your sons again; and I must lose O! my fear interprets: what, is he dead? Sticks deeper, grows with more pernicious root Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit Is now eclipsed; and it portends alone Likely in time to bless a regal throne. MMMDCCCLXXXIII - "LIONDACCIDENTS" Let's see once more this saying graved in gold I know her spirits are as coy and wild On pain of death, no person be so bold Now is my turn to speak. Behold this child: Delay this marriage for a month, a week; All corners of the world: kings, queens and states, Christ's mother helps me, else I were too weak. Confronts your city's eyes, your winking gates; Is to be made, then shall this hand and seal Do wounds help wounds, or grief help grievous deeds? Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, The vasty fields of France? or may we cram So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. MMMDCCCLXXXIV - "CREEPINTWIXTVO" Could not with graceful eyes attend those wars Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Pardon me, Caesar; for my dear dear love I pledge your Grace; and if you knew what pains No more than I am well acquitted of. Their warlike fraughtage: now on Dardan plains We'll execute your purpose, and put on In disadvantage, to abide a field eXcels whatever yet you look'd upon That cannot so much as a blossom yield Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such O, speak no more, for I have heard too much. MMMDCCCLXXXV - "WSANDCHANGEDEC" Which is a pound of this poor merchant's flesh, Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh Never hung poison on a fouler toad. Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy Cause the musicians play me that sad note His father's acts commenced in burning Troy! And feed on curds and whey, and suck the goat, Now when the lords and barons of the realm Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon! Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Dial is now upon the prick of noon. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Come, fellow, follow us for thy reward. MMMDCCCLXXXVI - "REESOFKINGSTAN" Rather to wonder at the things you hear Empale him with your weapons round about; Even or odd, of all days in the year, Some upright justicer! Thou, king, send out On his head, bearing a long white wand, as Fatal this marriage, cancelling your fame, Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. In asking their good loves, but thou wilt frame Now, out of doubt Antipholus is mad, Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. Since I first call'd my brother's father dad. Thou hast astonish'd me with thy high terms: A creature, that did bear the shape of man, Now, Master Slender: love him, daughter Anne. MMMDCCCLXXXVII - "SACREDBEAUTYBL" Stones have been known to move and trees to speak; And for the Jew's bond which he hath of me, Count Claudio, whom you sent me to seek. Rating myself at nothing, you shall see Excepting one, I would he were the best Dear sir, to my endeavours give consent; But I shall grieve you to report the rest. Either of king or council, when you went As if he pluck'd up kisses by the roots Unmannerly intruder as thou art! Thinking that I mean him, but therein suits You sacrifice your tears, your sighs, your heart: Because we ever have been near the king. Let not this wasp outlive, us both to sting. MMMDCCCLXXXVIII - "UNTTHESHARPSTI" Upon Good-Friday and ne'er broke his fast: Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck; Thou hast leisure, say thy prayers; when thou hast To suck, to suck, the very blood to suck! Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, And thus begins: 'What uncouth ill event Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Post hither, this vile purpose to prevent? Shall gild her bridal bed and make her rich That this his love was an eternal plant, I will not rise, unless your highness grant. MMMDCCCLXXXIX - "NTENTSDIVERTST" Nothing at all: it is a highwrought flood; The griefs between ye: to forget them quite Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Never make known what you have seen to-night. The very mercy of the law cries out Such comfort as do lusty young men feel Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. I sue for exiled majesty's repeal; Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his That, when he plays at tables, chides the dice Shall, for that vast of night that they may work, There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. MMMDCCCXC - "RONGMINDSTOTHE" Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Out of his subject; and we here dispatch No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff. Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach. Makes merit her election, and doth boil, I will not have it so: lie down, good sirs; Nor knows he how to live but by the spoil, Dear life redeems you. You perceive she stirs: Strange fowl light upon neighbouring ponds. Your This morning for ten thousand of your throats Or stones whose rates are either rich or poor The lining of his coffers shall make coats Here Aaron is; and what with Aaron now? Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MMMDCCCXCI - "COURSEOFALTERI" Convey them with safe conduct. Fare you well. Or else his head's assurance is but frail. Until to-morrow morning, lords, farewell. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Sir, you have saved my longing, and I feed Express'd and not express'd. But when this ring Or stop the headlong fury of his speed. Full merrily the humble-bee doth sing, And from this swarm of fair advantages Leap in with me into this angry flood, To match with her that brings no vantages. Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood It is not, nor it cannot come to good. MMMDCCCXCII - "NGTHINGSALASWH" Nay, answer me. Stand and unfold yourself. Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: To die is to be banish'd from myself; How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, I never spake bad word, nor did ill turn Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return. Shall be my friend again and I'll be his: Ay, but thou canst do what I mean to ask. Laugh'd in his face; and when with grief he wept, And day by day I'll do this heavy task, Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, Why ask you? hear you aught of her in yours? How high a pitch his resolution soars! MMMDCCCXCIII - "YFEARINGOFTIME" You may as well go stand upon the beach For I will board her though she chide as loud Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. As mad as the vex'd sea, singing aloud, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts. Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; Oft does them by the weakest minister: From son to son, some four or five descents To keep the oath that we administer: I could have well diverted her intents, Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMMDCCCXCIV - "STYRANNYMIGHTI" Send out more horses; skirr the country round; To wring the widow from her custom'd right, Your party in converse, him you would sound, Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; As doth the sea she lies in, yet the end No, not an oath: if not the face of men, Not for my life: but yet I dare defend Your sword is bright, sir; put it up again. Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse It was the lark, the herald of the morn, Gentle Lavinia, let me kiss thy lips. Have you not set Lysander, as in scorn, To gratify your honourable youth, In saying so, you shall but say the truth. MMMDCCCXCV - "NOTTHENSAYNOWI" No doubt, shall then and till then govern well. Of smiling peace to march a bloody host, That summons thee to heaven or to hell. Tell me wherein have I offended most? How innocent she died; and if your love Even for this let us divided live, No more than I am well acquitted of. So be my grave my peace as here I give And the red rose blush at her own disgrace, Yet indirection thereby grows direct, Not by might master'd but by special grace: Of that we have: so then we do neglect Wherein my sword had not impressure made I do betray myself with blushing. Maid! MMMDCCCXCVI - "LOVEYOUBESTWHE" Love loving not itself none other can. O, lest the world should task you to recite Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Either his gracious promise, which you might, Your worth is very dear in my regard. Or senseless speaking or a speaking such Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard: But now I see this one is one too much, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: To change the cod's head for the salmon's tail; When reason is the bawd to lust's abuse! How now, Lavinia! Marcus, what means this? Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. MMMDCCCXCVII - "NIWASCERTAINOE" Now, good my lord, lie here and rest awhile. If thou art dun, we'll draw thee from the mire When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, As thoughts do blow them, higher and higher. So shall those blots that do with me remain Command my eldest son, nay, all my sons, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! The noble Scot, Lord Douglas, when he saw Are of imagination all compact: I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw. Now puts the drowsy and neglected act Outruns the eye that doth behold his haste, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. MMMDCCCXCVIII - "RINCERTAINTYCR" Rather than render back, out with your knives, I am content that he shall take the odds Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Call all your tribes together, praise the gods, Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Rising and cawing at the gun's report, To be a secondary at control, And when I told the empress of this sport, I am resolved to bear a greater storm Nature is fine in love, and where 'tis fine, Together with that fair and warlike form You give away myself, which is known mine; Could not find death where I did hear him groan, Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMMDCCCXCIX - "OWNINGTHEPRESE" One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth. When, by and by, the din of war gan pierce Not wind? it shall, it must; you see it doth. In war was never lion raged more fierce, Not shall we need his help these fourteen days. Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return. The guilty rebel for remission prays. His going I could frame to serve my turn, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Princes in this should live like gods above, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Exist, and be a member of his love She dares not look; yet, winking, there appears Environed with all these hideous fears? MMMCM - "NTDOUBTINGOFTH" Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds: That takes away by any secret course Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds O thou sweet king-killer, and dear divorce Upon the parting of your wives and you. But little stars may hide them when they list. The purchase made, the fruits are to ensue; If the great gods be just, they shall assist Now happy he whose cloak and cincture can Go, fellow, get thee home, provide some carts Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan For ancient quarrels, and quite lost their hearts. That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur Here, noble lord; what is thy will with her? MMMCMI - "ERESTLOVEISABA" Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Return those duties back as are right fit, Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Stand in the plague of custom, and permit Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, Of marching to Philippi presently? Values itself so highly that to her Even for this let us divided live, It does abhor me now I speak the word; So be my grave my peace as here I give And, if the rest be true which I have heard, But they shall find, awaked in such a kind, And he the burden of a guilty mind. MMMCMII - "BETHENMIGHTINO" By making many. O, it grieves my soul, Even for this let us divided live, There is no malice in this burning coal; Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. More grave and wrinkled than the aims and ends In quantity equals not one of yours: Go, take it up unto thy master's use. How ugly night comes breathing at his heels: Things growing to themselves are growth's abuse: Is very snow-broth; one who never feels No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Out, some light horsemen, and peruse their wings. MMMCMIII - "TSAYSOTOGIVEFU" Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north So strive upon your pulse. What, pale again? And prompt me, that my tongue may utter forth Yet do not so; but since I am near slain, Swore him assistance and perform'd it too. O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts; That we remain your friend; and so, adieu. Obeying in commanding, and thy parts Gone to be married! gone to swear a peace! I send them back again and straight grow sad. Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; For your partaker Pole and you yourself, Upon so soft a subject as myself! MMMCMIV - "LLGROWTHTOTHAT" Lousy, pragging knave, Pistol, which you and Lest I surcease to honour mine own truth Go to them, with this bonnet in thy hand; Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? When what's not meet, but what must be, was law, To stranger blood, to foreign royalty. Her eyes, though sod in tears, look'd red and raw, Things that are hollow: thy bones are hollow; O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, Their clearer reason. O good Gonzalo, How long her face is drawn? how pale she looks, And now, forsooth, takes on him to reform That yet you do not know. Fie on this storm! MMMCMV - "WHICHSTILLDOTH" Will to my sense bend no licentious ear, Her pretty action did outsell her gift, In thy best robes uncover'd on the bier Cursed be that heart that forced us to this shift! Her cheeks with chaps and wrinkles were disguised; See justice done on Aaron, that damn'd Moor, Than history can pattern, though devised I understand thee well; and be thou sure, Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: Did he so often lodge in open field, O, now you look like Hubert! all this while Though it be honest, it is never good He lives that loves thee better than he could. MMMCMVI - "GROWLETMENOTTO" Go we, as well as haste will suffer us, Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; Or whether 'twas report of her success; Which happies those that pay the willing loan; Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, The worth of that is that which it contains, My love admits no qualifying dross; Earth. Would it not grieve a woman to be Nature dispenses with the deed so far O, how I love thee! how I dote on thee! That two such noble peers as ye should jar! Their wills: fill thy purse with money:--the food O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! MMMCMVII - "THEMARRIAGEOFT" Than hath been taught by any of my trade; Her more than haste is mated with delays, Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Madam, sit you and fear not: whom we raise, And that same dew, which sometime on the buds Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods! I have no more to reckon, he to spend. And bow'd like bondmen, kissing Caesar's feet; Good morrow, fairest: sister, your sweet hand. Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Of some strange nature, letting it there stand For thou dost fear the soft and tender fork True, Clifford; and that's Richard Duke of York. MMMCMVIII - "RUEMINDSADMITI" Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Upon the world dim darkness doth display, Except it be to pray against thy foes. My lord, I over-rode him on the way; Is but a preface of her worthy praise; No, Warwick, no; while life upholds this arm, Dinner is ready, and your father stays. She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. And when my uncle told me so, he wept, Down with that sword! Tribunes, withdraw awhile. Must gently be preserved, cherish'd, and kept: Into so quiet and so sweet a style. The troubled Tiber chafing with her shores, In the mean time, what hear you of these wars? MMMCMIX - "MPEDIMENTSLOVE" Methought I was enamour'd of an ass. Possess them not with fear; take from them now Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Do it, and happy; by my silver bow! I cry thee mercy then, for I had thought Made it a fool and beggar. The two kings, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Then brook abridgment, and your eyes advance, Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? Look on thy country, look on fertile France, Order gave each thing view; the office did Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMMCMX - "ISNOTLOVEWHICH" If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last, Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, Nor no one here; for curses never pass Of thy dear husband, than that horrid act Thou map of woe, that thus dost talk in signs! Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find. O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Will I with wine and wassail so convince His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, I heard no letter from my master since Come on, my boy. How dost, my boy? Art cold? Hold, Toby; on thy life I charge thee, hold! MMMCMXI - "ALTERSWHENITAL" All poverty was scorn'd, and pride so great, Let me wipe off this honourable dew, Thy substance, valued at the highest rate, England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. Who Pyramus presented, in their sport His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast No news so bad abroad as this at home; Is she not proud? doth she not count her blest, Tears of true joy for his return to Rome. And threat me I shall never come to bliss Lavinia, you are not displeased with this? MMMCMXII - "TERATIONFINDSO" There was no winter in't; an autumn 'twas Establish him in his true sense again, Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, As if the world should cleave, and that slain men Thou, Nature, art my goddess; to thy law If thou art dun, we'll draw thee from the mire O, that that earth which kept the world in awe Nor heady-rash, provoked with raging ire, From this time forth I never will speak word. I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Nay, if thou be that princely eagle's bird, Discredit my authority with yours; So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, Or else my kingdom stands on brittle glass. MMMCMXIII - "RBENDSWITHTHER" Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, But ne'er till now his scandal of retire. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Not till it leave the rider in the mire. Dark as your fortune is, and but disguise Such weak breath as this? No, you are deceived; Why, lady, Love hath twenty pair of eyes. I'll hunt with him; and let them be received, Though you respect not aught your servant doth, How canst thou tell she will deny thy suit, Till the high fever seethe your blood to froth, He dies that touches any of this fruit Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. MMMCMXIV - "EMOVERTOREMOVE" Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Many a dry drop seem'd a weeping tear, Of your philosophy you make no use, Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, Thou'lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange Over his country's wrongs; and by this face, Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard My dagger in my mouth. Say what thou art, Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMCMXV - "ONOITISANEVERF" Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Nobody come? then shall I bleed to death. Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, In the vile prison of afflicted breath. That's mercy, but too much security: I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve Shall give a holiness, a purity, And let his very breath, whom thou'lt observe, Nor let no comforter delight mine ear Excepting one, I would he were the best Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, From whence you spring by lineal descent. MMMCMXVI - "IXEDMARKTHATLO" I did, my lord: yet let me be their bail; eXceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Disgracing of these colours that I wear Mail'd up in shame, with papers on my back, And the deep-drawing barks do there disgorge Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Knight of the noble order of Saint George, The speech, of vantage. Fare you well, my liege. Here are a few of the unpleasant'st words All preparation for a bloody siege The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Lie hid moe thousand deaths: yet death we fear, Or else what lets it but he would be here? MMMCMXVII - "OKSONTEMPESTSA" O, that I knew thy heart; and knew the beast, King Henry and the prince his son are gone: Say but the word, and I will be his priest. Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, No, Paris is not; for you know 'tis true, The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. Make me but like my thoughts, and I shall prove Play on the lute, beholding the towns burn: Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows She is not bred so dull but she can learn; The very beadsmen learn to bend their bows Say that I linger'd with you at your shop And climb the highest promontory top. MMMCMXVIII - "NDISNEVERSHAKE" No man but prophesied revenge for it. Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, In state as wholesome as in state 'tis fit, She takes a sword and runs at him behind. Now Valentine is banish'd from her sight. Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Excepting one, I would he were the best Robs me of that which not enriches him Should not become my wife and England's queen. Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- And ruthless slaughters as are daily seen Knave with fortune, that she should scratch you, who Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. MMMCMXIX - "NITISTHESTARTO" None better in my kingdom. Get you gone, Invited her to supper: she replied, That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, If thou wilt fight, fight by thy father's side; She looks upon his lips, and they are pale; The enemy more mighty than he seems: How many shallow bauble boats dare sail Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. The lining of his coffers shall make coats As dear to me as are the ruddy drops Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: Till time lend friends and friends their helpful swords. Once more to-day well met, distemper'd lords! MMMCMXX - "EVERYWANDERING" England is safe, if true within itself? Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Engaging and redeeming of himself Rideth a puissant navy; to the shore Your voice shall be as strong as any man's When shalt thou see thy wholesome days again, Ay me! what news? why dost thou wring thy hands? Nor can one England brook a double reign, Dear father, soul and substance of us all,-- Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Remember whom you are to cope withal; If you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Give so much light that I may read by them. MMMCMXXI - "BARKWHOSEWORTH" Born to eclipse thy life this afternoon.

MMMCMXXV - "MESFOOLTHOUGHR" Must murder wives much better than themselves Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Soldiers, I thank you all; disperse yourselves; For so your doctors hold it very meet, Onward to Troy with the blunt swains he goes, Oft does them by the weakest minister: Let me be blest to make this happy close; To keep the oath that we administer: How were they lost? what treachery was used?

MMMCMXXVI - "OSYLIPSANDCHEE" Of such a winnow'd purity in love; Stand back, you lords, and give us leave awhile. Your quondam wife swears still by Venus' glove: Let frantic Talbot triumph for a while I prithee, name the time, but let it not Persuaded him from any further act: She passes praise; then praise too short doth blot. Are of imagination all compact: No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; Death lies on her like an untimely frost Come, mistress, now perforce we will enjoy His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Environed with all these hideous fears?

With your stiff age: but unto us it is It seem'd they would debate with angry swords. To be discover'd, that can do me good?

MMMCMXXIX - "PASSCOMELOVEAL" Poor wasting monuments of lasting moans. A poor earl's daughter is unequal odds, Sharp misery had worn him to the bones: Soldiers should brook as little wrongs as gods. Cancel all grudge, repeal thee home again, Or (not to crack the wind of the poor phrase, Must not be measured by his worth, for then Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Lean, rent and beggar'd by the strumpet wind! Of your philosophy you make no use, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. And for your rapier most especially, Labour and effect one thing specially. MMMCMXXX - "TERSNOTWITHHIS" The anger'd ocean foams; with which I meant Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Rest on my word, and let not discontent So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. Now is my turn to speak. Behold this child: Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. This palpable-gross play hath well beguiled Whom would to God I had well knock'd at first, In weeping after this untimely bier.

I thank thee, gentle Percy; and be sure She shall undo her credit with the Moor. MMMCMXXXI - "BRIEFHOURSANDW" Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, If so your heart were touch'd with that remorse Employ'd you where high profits might come home, From the rich Jew, a special deed of gift, Here feelingly she weeps Troy's painted woes: On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Upon whose faith and honour I repose.

Doors, that were ne'er acquainted with their wards What likelihood of his amendment, lords? MMMCMXXXII - "EEKSBUTBEARSIT" Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Each changing place with that which goes before, Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Say they are not the men you took them for.

Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Thou yard, three-quarters, half-yard, quarter, nail, Of both your armies; whose equality The noble Brutus, thrusting this report Hate counsels not in such a quality. Except some petty towns of no import: Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? MMMCMXXXIV - "GEOFDOOMIFTHIS" Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: England is safe, if true within itself? On safe-guard he came to me; and did curse For Pyramus therein doth kill himself. Do't and thou hast the one half of my heart; O father Abram, what these Christians are, Of his quick objects hath the mind no part, My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar If sorrow can admit society, Farewell: thou canst not teach me to forget.

Nay, I will win my wager better yet, Delay it not; I'll have him hence to-night. Upon their ancient malice will forget Patroclus, let us feast him to the height. Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome. Namely, some love that drew him oft from home.

Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Empale him with your weapons round about; Doth part his function and is partly blind, If you think fit, or that it may be done, No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Expecting in return twenty for one? Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. Establish him in his true sense again, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. MMMCMXXXVII - "WRITNORNOMANEV" Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege; Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: I tender so the safety of my liege. Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls Not I, believe me; thus I'll visit her. O, this is it that makes your servants droop! Romeo, that she were, O, that she were No? Saw you not, even now, a blessed troop Occasion smiles upon a second leave. My faith and this the princess I did give: Are hated most of those they did deceive, No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. Either withdraw unto some private place, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. MMMCMXXXVIII - "ERLOVEDACCUSEM" Early and late, debating to and fro Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Lest I be laugh'd at when I tell them so. O grim-look'd night! O night with hue so black! Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? And thankfully rest debtor for the first. Consent, and for thy honour give consent, Cherish rebellion and are rebels all. Under the blow of thralled discontent, So that the ram that batters down the wall, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; My dear-loved cousin, and my dearer lord? MMMCMXXXIX - "ETHUSTHATIHAVE" Else had she with her father rang'd along. This likes me well. These foils have all a length? Here was he merry, hearing of a song. Upon thy stars, thy fortune and thy strength, Such terrible impression made the dream. Three foot of it doth hold: bad world the while! Her eyes so suited, and they mourners seem And spite of spite needs must I rest awhile. That for a toy, a thing of no regard, I tore them from their bonds and cried aloud He took me by the wrist and held me hard; A little gale will soon disperse that cloud Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. MMMCMXL - "SCANTEDALLWHER" See what I do deliver out to each, Can scarce entreat you to be odd with him. And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. The small'st opinion on my least misuse? Each present lord began to promise aid, Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, And I had many living to upbraid Leave gormandizing; know the grave doth gape Let what is dear in Sicily be cheap: When he looks out in an ungrateful shape!-- Have I enjoy'd the golden dew of sleep, Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MMMCMXLI - "EINISHOULDYOUR" Each present lord began to promise aid, I fear my Julia would not deign my lines, Nathaniel's coat, sir, was not fully made, I can interpret all her martyr'd signs; Shall we be thus afflicted in his wreaks, He had of me a chain: at five o'clock O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, Unto a ragged fearful-hanging rock Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Did all the chivalry of England move You have witchcraft in your lips, Kate: there is Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove: Up Fish Street! down Saint Magnus' Corner! Kill Redeeming time when men think least I will. MMMCMXLII - "GREATDESERTSRE" Give me your hand and let me feel your pulse. Retaining but a quantity of life, Except you mean with obstinate repulse A fellow almost damn'd in a fair wife; That, when they shall be open'd, black Macbeth Did not the one deserve to have an heir? Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? She like a wearied lamb lies panting there; Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Return'd my letter back. Then all alone That suck'd the honey of his music vows, So holy writ in babes hath judgment shown, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. MMMCMXLIII - "PAYFORGOTUPONY" Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, You wrong me, sir, thus still to haunt my house: For God forbid so many simple souls Of those fair arms which bound him to her breast, Return, return, and make thy love amends. Good Enobarbus, make yourself my guest Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. To find his title with some shows of truth, Unable to support this lump of clay, Partly that I have need of such a youth Of this new marriage with the Lady Grey? Not letting it decline on the declined, You were as good to shoot against the wind. MMMCMXLIV - "OURDEARESTLOVE" Of the old rage: bear with me, I am sick; Under this conjuration, speak, my lord; Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Dumain was at my service, and his sword: Environed with all these hideous fears? And Tarquin's eye may read the mot afar, Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp To reason most absurd, whose common theme Lead me, my lord? I do not need your help: Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMCMXLV - "TOCALLWHERETOA" Tell me once more what title thou dost bear: Or worthily, as a good subject should, Come all to help him, and so stop the air As all things shall redound unto your good. Leaving free things and happy shows behind; Let liberty make use of; space enough Was carried with more speed before the wind; His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, The hum of either army stilly sounds, Of one or both of us the time is come. A pox on't, let it go; 'tis but a drum. MMMCMXLVI - "LLBONDSDOTIEME" Let life be short; else shame will be too long. Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Before you hazard; for, in choosing wrong, One sin, I know, another doth provoke; No, when my father York and Edward wept, Deliver up my title in the queen Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: O Dionyza, such a piece of slaughter That we have stol'n what we do fear to keep! Is not yond Diomed, with Calchas' daughter? Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Mistress, dispatch you with your safest haste, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. MMMCMXLVII - "DAYBYDAYTHATIH" Did utter forth a voice. Yes, thou must die: And feed his humour kindly as we may, You leer upon me, do you? there's an eye But shall we wear these honours for a day? Yields to the theft. Had he been where he thought, Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek, A dearer birth than this his love had brought, Your hearts will throb and weep to hear him speak. The better that your lordship please to ask. He would quickly have the gift of a grave. A jewel, lock'd into the wofull'st cask Treason! foul treason! Villain! traitor! slave! I am not mad: this hair I tear is mine; Here's my glove: give me another of thine. MMMCMXLVIII - "AVEFREQUENTBEE" As truth and beauty shall together thrive, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive For she hath no exchequer now but his, Remuneration for the thing it was; England is safe, if true within itself? Quite to forget this quarrel and the cause. Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Now will we take some order in the town, That is my brother's plea and none of mine; By wounding his belief in her renown Edward and Clarence. O, what cause have I, Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MMMCMXLIX - "NWITHUNKNOWNMI" Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims With torch-staves in their hand; and their poor jades Is not the king's name twenty thousand names? That Photinus an eunuch and your maids He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; Nature in you stands on the very verge Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Never afflict yourself to know the cause; O, no! the apprehension of the good When love, converted from the thing it was, Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there. I will tell truth; by grace itself I swear. MMMCML - "NDSANDGIVENTOT" Necessity will make us all forsworn Delighted them in any other form; Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. And what God will, that let your king perform; Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! Go, count thy way with sighs; I mine with groans. Inclinable to honour and advance Values itself so highly that to her Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Now God in heaven bless thee! Hark you, sir. The old bees die, the young possess their hive: Of noble having and of royal hope, To charge me to an answer, as the pope. MMMCMLI - "IMEYOUROWNDEAR" I'll kiss each several paper for amends. Making, to take your imagination, Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, You were of our determination! Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Upon the next occasion that we meet, Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit With letters of commission from the king. Nor to comply with heat--the young affects Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. MMMCMLII - "PURCHASEDRIGHT" Proclamation, and he rails upon me. Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Resembles that it was. What it should be, Call Buckingham, and all the friends thou hast, How now! Rain within doors, and none abroad! A man of complements, whom right and wrong She says enough; yet she's a simple bawd Else had she with her father rang'd along. Domestics to you, serve your will as't please Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; I ought to know of: and, upon my knees, Go great with tigers, dragons, wolves, and bears; Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood, Then be at peace except ye thirst for blood. MMMCMLIII - "THATIHAVEHOIST" Take thrice thy money; bid me tear the bond. How courtesy would seem to cover sin, And on the pieces of the broken wand To his confine; and of the truth herein I dreamt my master and another fought, Hath with the king's blood stain'd the king's own land. And now worth nothing? Shall I have the thought Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Having no more but thought of what thou wert, Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert; So do the kings of France unto this day; That thou consent to marry us to-day. MMMCMLIV - "EDSAILTOALLTHE" Early and late, debating to and fro Distract your army, which doth most consist So two, together weeping, make one woe. And when he sleeps will she do what she list. I speak of Africa and golden joys. Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? That all the court may echo with the noise. Out of their best--is not almost a fault And he but naked, though lock'd up in steel Lady, give me your hand, and, as we walk, Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal: Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, He came in thunder; his celestial breath Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MMMCMLV - "WINDSWHICHSHOU" When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, Indeed we fear'd his sickness was past cure. No big-boned men framed of the Cyclops' size; Discharged. But come, your Bergomask: let your Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Which, God he knows, I saw not: for the which How shall I fashion me to wear a cloak? It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Could I with boot change for an idle plume, He well may be a stranger, for he comes Some unborn sorrow, ripe in fortune's womb, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, Of Edward king, the third of that descent: Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. MMMCMLVI - "LDTRANSPORTMEF" Lest in revenge thereof, sith God is just, Do so: and let no man abide this deed, This body, like to them, to what I must; Rather than Paris. These are news indeed! A herald, Kate? O, put me in thy books! Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. See if thou canst outface me with thy looks: Pinched with the colic, you make faces like Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! Tell on thy mind; I say thy child shall live. My lord, she's not paced yet: you must take some Even so void is your false heart of truth. Flat treason 'gainst the kingly state of youth. MMMCMLVII - "ARTHESTFROMYOU" As I by thine a wife: this is a match, Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, To cudgel you and make you take the hatch, Have, as I do remember, done me wrong. Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Shall sit and pant in your great chairs of ease, Therefore this article is made in vain, Feed arrogance and are the proud man's fees. Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: O woe! thy canopy is dust and stones;-- Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, Of what is in her chamber nothing saves Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. MMMCMLVIII - "RSIGHTBOOKBOTH" Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more: If any born at Ephesus be seen Good friends for three reprieves for you and your Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear To bear the tidings of calamity. But that my noble master will appear Of our restored love and amity. Of as great size. Ween you of better luck, Keep still possession of thy gloomy place, Buck, buck, buck! Ay, buck; I warrant you, buck; Out, strumpet! weep'st thou for him to my face? That, when he plays at tables, chides the dice He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. MMMCMLIX - "MYWILFULNESSAN" My smooth moist hand, were it with thy hand felt, You do yourselves but wrong to stir me up; Would in thy palm dissolve, or seem to melt. I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. Free from oppression or the stroke of war, Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; Look to thy bark: I'll not be long before Not very well; but I have met him oft; Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Safe out of fortune's shot; and sits aloft, Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; A fiend, a fury, pitiless and rough; No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff. MMMCMLX - "DERRORSDOWNAND" Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends, Exception bid him speak, and at this time Return, return, and make thy love amends. Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Or, if you show your face, you must not speak. Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, Smother'd in errors, feeble, shallow, weak, Did I deserve no more than a fool's head? Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. Who's there? my Lord AEneas! By my troth, Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, And should he doubt it, as no doubt he doth, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Descend to darkness and the burning lake! MMMCMLXI - "ONJUSTPROOFSUR" Of the old, feeble and day-wearied sun, No, 'tis impossible he should escape, Justice with favour have I always done; Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, See, how the ugly wench doth bend her brows, This ague fit of fear is over-blown; Pardon me, sweet one, even for the vows Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, Of mercy, if thou didst this deed of death, From forth the noise and rumour of the field, Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath Upon his party for the gain thereof: Refuse not, mighty lord, this proffer'd love. MMMCMLXII - "MISEACCUMULATE" My poverty, but not my will, consents. If Salisbury wants mercy at thy hands! Send thy brass voice through all these lazy tents; England, impatient of your just demands, As plays the sun upon the glassy streams, Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon. Conceives by idleness and nothing teems Unto the lodging where I first did swoon? Madam, a noble gentleman of Rome, Under the tide: but now I breathe again Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? As unrelenting flint to drops of rain. That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. MMMCMLXIII - "BRINGMEWITHINT" Bidding the law make court'sy to their will: Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: If thou turn back, and my loud crying still. Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, Go muster men; but, hear you, leave behind My figured goblets for a dish of wood, Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, With this, she falleth in the place she stood, I am his first-born son, that was the last The more that Henry was unfortunate. How were I then uplifted! but, alas! It was a vision fair and fortunate: Never did faithful subject more rejoice To strive for that which resteth in my choice. MMMCMLXIV - "HELEVELOFYOURF" He took me by the wrist and held me hard; Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand, Of the duke's confessor, John de la Car, For why, the fools are mad, if left alone. Yet bend not all the harm upon yourself; O sir, you are not right: have you not known Upon so soft a subject as myself! Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. For we were subjects but while you were king. MMMCMLXV - "ROWNBUTSHOOTNO" Resides not in that man that does not think,-- O spite! too old to be engaged to young. When they are thirsty, fools would fain have drink. Nor to the motion of a schoolboy's tongue, But, my good lord, your grace's word shall serve, Unless you can find sport in their intents, To foster it, nor ever to preserve. Some entertainment for them in their tents. Her love is not the hare that I do hunt; O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Oxford, redoubted Pembroke, Sir James Blunt, Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, Nor thrust your head into the public street O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. MMMCMLXVI - "TATMEINYOURWAK" That give accosting welcome ere it comes, And now, to tempt, all liberty procured. The interruption of their churlish drums Most ignorant of what he's most assured, England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Is now again thwarting the wayward seas, Not spend the dowry of a lawful bed. Your gaoler shall deliver you the keys Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish With all religious strength of sacred vows; And some donation freely to estate Know you this ring? this ring was his of late. MMMCMLXVII - "ENDHATESINCEMY" Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Now, as I can remember, by my troth, Doubly portcullis'd with my teeth and lips; He will do all in all as Hastings doth. At thy affections, which do hold a wing That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring So long in his unlucky Irish wars Into the bowels of ungrateful Rome, Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Crowns in my purse I have, and goods at home, Effect it with some care, that he may prove Make you to ravel all this matter out, You might have heard it else proclaim'd about. MMMCMLXVIII - "APPEALSAYSIDID" As touching France, to give a greater sum Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, Patience awhile, good Cassio. Come, come; Either be gone before the watch be set, As much as in him lies, from time to time Late did he shine upon the English side; Since, spite of him, I'll live in this poor rhyme, As who should say 'Lo, thus my strength is tried, You here at Milford-Haven with your ships: Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. I would not thy good deeds should from my lips Did lately meet in the intestine shock I'll buckler thee against a million. Desire them an to my pavilion. MMMCMLXIX - "STRIVETOPROVET" Shall have my pocket picked? I have lost a The noisome weeds, which without profit suck Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway, If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, Very hardly upon such a subject. Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; That holy duty, out of dear respect, Open as day for melting charity; Possess'd with rumours, full of idle dreams, Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, O vanity of sickness! fierce extremes Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, To link my dear friend to a common stale. MMMCMLXX - "HECONSTANCYAND" He that hath miss'd the princess is a thing Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Came to my house and took away my ring-- O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Not all these lords do vex me half so much So says the bond: doth it not, noble judge? Till youth take leave and leave you to the crutch. And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? Now, Kate, I am a husband for your turn; Come, Mistress Kate, I'll bear you company. Your master will be dead ere you return; And shall, or him we will accompany. No masque to-night: the wind is come about; Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. MMMCMLXXI - "VIRTUEOFYOURLO" Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. In summer, where the ways are fair enough: Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Even so void is your false heart of truth. O, how the channel to the stream gave grace! For tubs and baths; bring down rose-cheeked youth Yes, my lord, yes; he at Philippi kept O, my good lord, yonder's foul murders done! Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself Or in my cell there would she kill herself. MMMCMLXXII - "VELIKEASTOMAKE" Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his I give a sparing limit to my tongue. King John, your king and England's doth approach, Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, And princes' courts be fill'd with my reproach. Sweet York, begin: and if thy claim be good, To Harry Monmouth, whose swift wrath beat down Or so devote to Aristotle's checks My father made in compassing the crown! And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next-- Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise Envy the great nor do the low despise. MMMCMLXXIII - "OURAPPETITESMO" Of disobedient opposition Unto thy value I will mount myself Remember so weak a composition. Antony call; I see him rouse himself Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, Prevail not, go and see: if you can bring Either be gone before the watch be set, To Edward, but not to the English king. Into the staggers and the careless lapse The prince my brother hath outgrown me far. Expire before the flowers in their caps, Shall keep us both the safer: where we are, My favour were as great; be witness this. O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! MMMCMLXXIV - "REKEENWITHEAGE" Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Kill'd her, for whom my tears have made me blind. Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Not for my life: but yet I dare defend What need the bridge much broader than the flood? I to myself am dearer than a friend, That their negotiations all must slack, He said the truth: and what said Surrey then? Even like a man new haled from the rack, And, till so much blood thither come again, Giving my verdict on the white rose side. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. MMMCMLXXV - "RCOMPOUNDSWEOU" Rather than so, come fate into the list. Commit the war of white and damask in Our archers shall be placed in the midst Might there not be a charity in sin Posterity, await for wretched years, Or stones whose rates are either rich or poor Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; No. madam, he does nothing but smile: your Dispose of them, of me; the walls are thine. So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! Who but to-day hammer'd of this design, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Of his oath-breaking; which he mended thus, Unless by robbing of your friends and us. MMMCMLXXVI - "RPALATEURGEAST" Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Perchance some single vantages you took. And both the princes had been breathing here, Let pity not be believ'd!' There she shook And, being troubled with a raging tooth, To steel a strong opinion to themselves? Even so void is your false heart of truth. Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Glory grows guilty of detested crimes, Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, And see the revolution of the times Shall have the leading of this foot and horse. Than I by letters shall direct your course. MMMCMLXXVII - "OPREVENTOURMAL" O, what a noble combat hast thou fought Percy is but my factor, good my lord, Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Exist, and be a member of his love Nay, this way, man: see where the huntsmen stand. To have a godly peace concluded of On yon proud man, should take it off again Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Receive each other. God speak this Amen! My foot shall fight with all the strength thou hast; As bombast and as lining to the time: Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. MMMCMLXXVIII - "ADIESUNSEENWES" An earnest conjuration from the King, Death: her death itself, which could not be her If I be waspish, best beware my sting. Either to die the death or to abjure Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Strike, fellows, strike; this is the man I seek. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Except it be to pray against thy foes. Not sure, though hoping of this good success, Wherein the toged consuls can propose England ne'er had a king until his time. Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. MMMCMLXXIX - "ICKENTOSHUNSIC" I believe drink gave thee the lie last night. Come, sir, dispatch. If thou couldst, doctor, cast Kill me to-morrow: let me live to-night! Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk: Than savages could suffer: thou didst drink O thou good Kent, how shall I live and work Sits not so easy on me as you think. He calls us rebels, traitors; and will scourge Upon the next live creature that it sees. Nature in you stands on the very verge Such men as he be never at heart's ease In quarter, and in terms like bride and groom Call for the music in the other room. MMMCMLXXX - "KNESSWHENWEPUR" Keep house and port and servants, as I should; Nor should thy prowess want praise and esteem, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Sit fas aut nefas, till I find the stream Sir Toby Belch! how now, Sir Toby Belch! Why droops my lord, like over-ripen'd corn, He leaves his back unarm'd, the French and Welsh End in one purpose, and be all well borne Not with the empty hollowness, but weight: What say you to a letter from your friends Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Pardon me, Edward, I will make amends: Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, Rome will despise her for this foul escape. MMMCMLXXXI - "GEEVENSOBEINGT" Grow great by your example and put on Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Swelling on either side to want his bliss; O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught, But not a minute, king, that thou canst give: Except some petty towns of no import: I'll send them all as willing as I live: Nor never lay his wreathed arms athwart Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; To give in evidence. What then? What rests? MMMCMLXXXII - "UFFOFYOURNEERC" Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave For now I stand as one upon a rock For these known evils, but to give me leave, O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. False to his children or his wife's allies Your native town you enter'd like a post, O, ransom, ransom! do not hide mine eyes. Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. Environed with all these hideous fears? England we love; and for that England's sake Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Cowardly fled, not having struck one stroke. MMMCMLXXXIII - "LOYINGSWEETNES" Let us sway on and face them in the field. O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, You press me far, and therefore I will yield. I love thee, and it is my love that speaks-- Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Grey of Northumberland, this same is yours: Set them into confounding odds, that beasts With such loud reason to the Cyprus wars, Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, England, impatient of your just demands, The Duke of Suffolk, William de la Pole. Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. Even like a man new haled from the rack, So proud that Bolingbroke was on his back! MMMCMLXXXIV - "STOBITTERSAUCE" Some dozen Romans of us and your lord-- Their warlike fraughtage: now on Dardan plains Oppos'd against the act, bending his sword Bardolph, be blithe: Nym, rouse thy vaunting veins: If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, To bear the tidings of calamity. The noisome weeds, which without profit suck England and France might, through their amity, Reserve their character with golden quill Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Ah, word ill urged to one that is so ill! Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Came more and more and fought on part and part, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMMCMLXXXV - "SDIDIFRAMEMYFE" Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Demetrius and Egeus, go along: I know I love in vain, strive against hope; Doth any name particular belong If thou kill'st me, boy, thou shalt kill a man. For greatest scandal waits on greatest state. Reprove my allegation, if you can; As sun to day, as turtle to her mate, My twelve months are expired, and Tyrus stands Either to die the death or to abjure Make an extent upon his house and lands. Yet seek my father's love; still seek it, sir: Flat treason 'gainst the kingly state of youth. Even so void is your false heart of truth. MMMCMLXXXVI - "EDINGANDSICKOF" Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Disdaining duty that to us belongs. If Richard will be true, not that alone Not Gaunt's rebukes, nor England's private wrongs, Good sometime queen, prepare thee hence for France: An't please your grace, the two great cardinals Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. Digest this letter of the cardinal's? So that, in this unjust divorce of us, Indeed, he hath an excellent good name. Can play upon it. But what need I thus King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! MMMCMLXXXVII - "WELFAREFOUNDAK" Why should my heart think that a several plot Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Let it suffice thee that I trust thee not. Farewell, sweet playfellow: pray thou for us; And what a terror he had been to France. Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Follow, my lord, and I'll soon bring her back. O my dear kinsman! Prince, as thou art true, Upon this promise did he raise his chin, Nor by the matter which your heart prompts you, Draws on apace; four happy days bring in And not be seen to wink of all the day-- Knows at what time to promise, when to pay. MMMCMLXXXVIII - "INDOFMEETNESST" I would not my unhoused free condition No man but prophesied revenge for it. Darest with thy frozen admonition Of thy assault: if he shall think it fit, For then is Tarquin brought unto his bed, My faith and this the princess I did give: Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Even for this let us divided live, That excellent complexion, which did steal No doubt, my liege, if each man do his best. Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Such love must needs be treason in my breast. Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough: That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. MMMCMLXXXIX - "OBEDISEASEDERE" O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! By heaven, all dry-beaten with pure scoff! Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Deep shame had struck me dumb, made me break off, I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Stands on a tickle point, now they are gone: Enough to stifle such a villain up. And there it is in writing fairly drawn. Save base authority from others' books Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Rather than have that savage duke thine heir Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MMMCMXC - "THATTHEREWASTR" Tell me precisely of what complexion. Her knots disorder'd and her wholesome herbs And leave us to our free election. The way it takes, cracking ten thousand curbs The fouler fortune mine, and there an end. Henry the Fourth, grandfather to this king, Each hath his place and function to attend: Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Whose arms were moulded in their mothers' womb And to proclaim it civilly, were like Stain to thy countrymen, thou hear'st thy doom! Tying thine ear to no tongue but thine own! Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMMCMXCI - "UENEEDINGTHUSP" Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Exist, and be a member of his love Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Dry up in her the organs of increase; I do beseech you, as in way of taste, Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Get the learned writer to set down our To do a great right, do a little wrong, Hath brought me up to be your daughter's dower, Upon my wretched women, that so long Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? Pardon me, God, I knew not what I did! MMMCMXCII - "OLICYINLOVETOA" Oh, who shall hinder me to wail and weep, Led hither by pure love: which of them both I can call spirits from the vasty deep. Can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth You'll not endure him! God shall mend my soul! It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood: Now must I hide his body in some hole, Leap in with me into this angry flood, O brother Montague, give me thy hand: Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Every man shift for all the rest, and That I, unworthy body as I am, Out of my lean and low ability Awake, awake, English nobility! MMMCMXCIII - "NTICIPATETHEIL" No; let him die, in that he is a fox, To pluck down justice from your awful bench, It were a better death than die with mocks, Come hither, boy: ask me this slave in French If holy churchmen take delight in broils? Proud of their numbers and secure in soul, And now at last, laden with horror's spoils, This might have been prevented and made whole Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, The fouler fortune mine, and there an end. He is gone happy, and has left me rich: Each hath his place and function to attend: If not, elsewhere they meet with charity; Leaving thee living in posterity? MMMCMXCIV - "LSTHATWERENOTG" Let 'em alone, and draw the curtain close: So slight a valuation, should reserve To new remembrance. For full well he knows He had the wit which I can well observe A ragged and forestall'd remission. The life, the right and truth of all this realm Wave thus, to express his disposition, Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Retain but privilege of a private man? Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Now, Master Slender: love him, daughter Anne. O, let us hence; I stand on sudden haste. Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain God, for thy mercy! they are loose again. MMMCMXCV - "REWTOFAULTSASS" Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Will you not dance? How come you thus estranged? To leave that latest which concerns him first, Only it spoils the pleasure of the time. Faith, thou hast some crotchets in thy head. Now, An honest man he is, and hates the slime Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou Lend me thy hand, and I will give thee mine. The keeper of the prison, call to him; Swooning destruction, or some joy too fine, And stood stark naked on the brook's green brim: Since I first call'd my brother's father dad. Spoke like an officer- ha' to thee, lad. MMMCMXCVI - "UREDANDBROUGHT" Under an oak whose antique root peeps out Repair hither and say you are not fit. Empale him with your weapons round about; Doth fat me with the very thoughts of it! And so repose, sweet gold, for their unrest Now, Ursula, when Beatrice doth come, Do with your injuries as seems you best, Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb? Roused on the sudden from their drowsy beds, On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Up to some scaffold, there to lose their heads? Grief would have tears, and sorrow bids me speak. His venom tooth will rankle to the death: That laughs and weeps, and all but with a breath. MMMCMXCVII - "TOMEDICINEAHEA" To gratify your honourable youth, Or lay on that shall make your shoulders crack. Most true it is that I have look'd on truth Even like a man new haled from the rack, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, In that vast tennis-court, have made the ball Cats, that can judge as fitly of his worth I humbly thank him, and I thank you all. No bitterness that I will bitter think, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Away the performance: therefore, much drink How angerly I taught my brow to frown, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. And make her bear the penance of her tongue? MMMCMXCVIII - "LTHFULSTATEWHI" Look into these affairs see this main end, The only soil of his fair virtue's gloss, How he her chamber-window will ascend For me to joy and weep their gain and loss: Upon the right hand I; keep thou the left. Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? Steal thine own freedom and complain on theft. The image of a wicked heinous fault And let us do it with no show of fear; Too fairly, Hubert, for so foul effect: Even or odd, of all days in the year, When, silly groom! God wot, it was defect His hand to wield a sceptre, and himself In awe of such a thing as I myself. MMMCMXCIX - "CHRANKOFGOODNE" Cut off the proud'st conspirator that lives. Hath in the skirts of Norway, here and there, Rather than render back, out with your knives, A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air. Now she adds honours to his hateful name; King Henry and the prince his son are gone: Of your dear mother England, blush for shame; For on his visage was in little drawn Go hie thee presently, post to the road: O prudent discipline! From north to south: O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Did, with his iron tongue and brazen mouth, Nay, stay, Sir John, awhile, and we'll debate Eternal numbers to outlive long date. MMMM - "SSWOULDBYILLBE" Stand thee by, friar. Father, by your leave: Stand not to answer: here, take thou the hilts; When, I beseech you? that in his reprieve, Of Tybalt deaf to peace, but that he tilts Unless by robbing of your friends and us. Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Do me but right, and you must all confess By love, who first did prompt me to inquire; You not your child well loving, yet I find I am undone: there is no living, none, Leaving free things and happy shows behind; Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; Be yoked with his that did betray the Best! Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMMMI - "CUREDBUTTHENCE" Come, Proteus; 'tis your penance but to hear Unshaked of motion: and that I am he, Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, Demand me nothing: what you know, you know: Base inclination and the start of spleen Up to the ears. Come, we burn daylight, ho! That everything I look on seemeth green; These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe Have I not heard these islanders shout out Edge, sting, or operation, I am safe: No masque to-night: the wind is come about; Committing me unto my brother's love; Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMMMII - "ILEARNANDFINDT" I know what thorns the growing rose defends; Let's take the instant by the forward top; Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, And of so easy and so plain a stop Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; Not so; but it hath been the longest night And with submissive loyalty of heart Never to be infected with delight, Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! For why my bowels cannot hide her woes, Inclinable to honour and advance Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Do tell her she is dreadfully beset, That's the worst tidings that I hear of yet. MMMMIII - "HELESSONTRUEDR" Her face doth reek and smoke, her blood doth boil, Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. Leads discontented steps in foreign soil, England, from Trent and Severn hitherto, Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, One sin, I know, another doth provoke; No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Till your strong hand shall help to give him strength Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Under a cloak that is of any length. Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Descend to darkness and the burning lake! Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. MMMMIV - "UGSPOISONHIMTH" Upon the very naked name of love. Go we, as well as haste will suffer us, She'll none o' the count: she'll not match above Provide the feast, father, and bid the guests; Once more adieu! my father at the road I wish your enterprise to-day may thrive. Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, No point, quoth I; my servant straight was mute. Here comes the rogue. Sirrah, where have you been? I do arrest you, sir: you hear the suit. Most mischievous foul sin, in chiding sin; That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, He flatly says he'll not lay down his arms. MMMMV - "ATSOFELLSICKOF" A trusty villain, sir, that very oft, To see great Hector in his weeds of peace, Safe out of fortune's shot; and sits aloft, Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease; From Rome all season'd office and to wind Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; Let his deservings and my love withal Sweet ornament that decks a thing divine! I'll kiss each several paper for amends. Canst thou demise to any child of mine? Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; For that sweet odour which doth in it live. MMMMVI - "YOUWHATPOTIONS" You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. Of what degree soever, with his brother. Upon a desperate bed, and in a time When he was retrograde, I think, rather. He shall have merely justice and his bond. All broken implements of a ruin'd house. Those that much covet are with gain so fond, Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; Or who is he so fond will be the tomb To Master Brook you yet shall hold your word I fly not death, to fly his deadly doom: Of that report which I so oft have heard. No more than I am well acquitted of. So let us still continue peace and love. MMMMVII - "HAVEIDRUNKOFSI" He has no children. All my pretty ones? As made the things more rich. Their perfume lost, Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. I know him well. He is the broach indeed Do so. This jest shall cost me some expense. Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Kneel down before him, hang upon his gown: O thou fond many, with what loud applause For half a hundred years. Summon the town. Shall we hear from thee, Tyrrel, ere we sleep? In what place of the field doth Calchas keep? MMMMVIII - "RENTEARSDISTIL" Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Envy your great deservings and good name, Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke This widow lady? In her right we came; Else had she with her father rang'd along. And let it be confiscate all, so soon Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon, Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears In winter's cold and summer's parching heat, Sometime he scuds far off and there he stares; Thou Icarus; thy life to me is sweet: I, then in London keeper of the king, Lies at the mercy of his mortal sting. MMMMIX - "LDFROMLIMBECKS" Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Driving back shadows over louring hills: Farewell; be trusty, and I'll quit thy pains: Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Of Mantua, sir? Marry, God forbid, Much will be seen in that. In the mean time, Lord Angelo? they have confessed you did. In the division of each several crime, My mother is assailed in our tent, Be sometime honour'd for his burning throne! Either of king or council, when you went Cannot but feel this wrong as 'twere their own; King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim, Shame and eternal shame, nothing but shame! MMMMX - "FOULASHELLWITH" Father, I may not wish the fortune thine; Or any air of music touch their ears, Unto a view so false will not incline; Let them lay by their helmets and their spears, All's well; and might have been much better, if Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff; Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Let's see once more this saying graved in gold Lord, Lord! methought, what pain it was to drown! Which, in their throng and press to that last hold, I'll bring you to a captain in this town, That through the length of times he stands disgraced: Here! go; the desk, the purse! sweet, now, make haste. MMMMXI - "INAPPLYINGFEAR" Is Caesar yet gone to the Capitol? No more than my residing here at Rome And military title capital Perchance, Iago, I will ne'er go home. Peaceful commerce from dividable shores, Look, here's thy love: my foot and her face see. Yours, Cinna; and, my valiant Casca, yours; I will your very faithful feeder be, Not till it leave the rider in the mire. Gives light in darkness, comfort in despair! From first to last, the onset and retire Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, All ports I'll bar; the villain shall not scape; Rome will despise her for this foul escape. MMMMXII - "STOHOPESANDHOP" Should of another therefore be abused! The wiry concord that mine ear confounds, O, that a lady, of one man refused. His rougher accents for malicious sounds, Or in the night, imagining some fear, Please it your majesty, this is the man Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Some certain of your brethren roar'd and ran And have no more of life than may suffice Nativity, once in the main of light, Did you perceive how he laughed at his vice? How shall I know if I do choose the right? O, spare me not, my brother Edward's son, Publius, Publius, what hast thou done? MMMMXIII - "ESTOFEARSSTILL" Each in his office ready at thy beck. Such as befits the pleasure of the court? That men must lay their murders on your neck. Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort, From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell: Extremity of griefs would make men mad; A sickness caught of me, and yet I well! Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Sent his poor queen to France, from whence she came, She either gives a stomach and no food- The heir of Alencon, Katharine her name. In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood; Like stars ashamed of day, themselves withdrew; Look upon him, love him; he worships you. MMMMXIV - "LOSINGWHENISAW" Look, how you butt yourself in these sharp mocks! O spite! too old to be engaged to young. So are those crisped snaky golden locks I read as much as from the rattling tongue No longer yours than you yourself here live: Good fortune, worthy soldier; and farewell. Which I beseech your highness to forgive, Here's one, a friend, and one that knows you well. End in one purpose, and be all well borne No other harm but loss of such a lord. It were no match, your nail against his horn. So should my shame still rest upon record, And placed a quire of such enticing birds, When blows have made me stay, I fled from words. MMMMXV - "MYSELFTOWINWHA" My day's delight is past, my horse is gone, You go not till I set you up a glass So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Leaving thy trunk for crows to feed upon. Farewell; be trusty, and I'll quit thy pains: That you protect this course, and put it on Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, What tidings can you tell me of my lord? If friend or foe, let him be gently used. Now sits the wind fair, and we will aboard. We have had pelting wars, since you refused Hath pass'd in safety through the narrow seas, Are yet two Romans living such as these? MMMMXVI - "TWRETCHEDERROR" There is no world without Verona walls, What maintenance he from his friends receives, Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, That tremble at the imagination? Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough. Here, Marcus, fold it in the oration; Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Dismask'd, their damask sweet commixture shown, Expect him here: when he shall come and find Ready to starve and dare not touch his own: Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. O, they did urge it still unto the king! Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. MMMMXVII - "SHATHMYHEARTCO" See where they come: we will behold his death. How can she be with him? When was she missed? And that the trunk may be discharged of breath That she may make, unmake, do what she list, Here is her hand, the agent of her heart; Make mountains level, and the continent, Your son's my father's friend; he takes his part. He says he will return incontinent: Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. And fetch the chain; by this I know 'tis made: Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, Tell him, it is for justice and for aid, Come, I have found you out a stand most fit, Once more I'll read the ode that I have writ. MMMMXVIII - "MMITTEDWHILSTI" My lord your son made me to think of this; Make slow pursuit, or altogether balk I do beseech you, take it not amiss; Their lips were four red roses on a stalk, To this I witness call the fools of time, Eating the air and promise of supply, Drove back again unto my native clime? Where one on his side fights, thousands will fly. He did, from first to last: why dost thou ask? I cry your honour mercy; you may, worst Like powder in a skitless soldier's flask, Speak England first, that hath been forward first Thy name well fits thy faith, thy faith thy name. In your behalf still will I wear the same. MMMMXIX - "THATHTHOUGHTIT" Thou shalt not know the sound of thine own tongue. Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. And in his needy shop a tortoise hung, To speak so indirectly I am loath: How he did seem to dive into their hearts That ever Timon was. Shame not these woods, Have loved without this mean, if on both parts One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods Unless I flatter with myself too much. Give me your gloves, I'll wear them for your sake; Have to you, but with thanks to God for such The greatest strength and power he can make, It is the shameful work of Hubert's hand; The Nevils are thy subjects to command. MMMMXX - "SELFSOBLESSEDN" So thin that life looks through, and will break out. Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Look on her, mark her well; be but about Farewell, and take her; but direct thy feet Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect On them to look, and practise by myself. Between compulsion and a brave respect! Lest your displeasure should enlarge itself Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Sorry I am my noble cousin should Show'd like an April daisy on the grass, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Never yet taint with love, I send the king. MMMMXXI - "EVERHOWHAVEMIN" Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Visit the speechless sick and still converse Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. He would show most love. When yet he was but Or is the adder better than the eel Was I a child to fear I know not what. Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. And kneel for grace and mercy at my feet; Very hardly upon such a subject. Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet My love should kindle to inflam'd respect. If to come hither you have measured miles, Now we are victors; upon us he smiles. MMMMXXII - "EEYESOUTOFTHEI" Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Else one self mate and mate could not beget Yet have I heard,--O, could I find it now!-- Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Show me a villain that hath done a rape, Or have you read or heard? or could you think? Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, That Timon's fortunes 'mong his friends can sink. Of time, of numbers and due course of things, For you have but mistook me all this while: That then I scorn to change my state with kings. He's scarce awake. Let him alone awhile. Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: In your own losses, if he stay in France. MMMMXXIII - "RSPHERESBEENFI" Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Some trumpet summon hither to the walls Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Rebuke me not for that which you provoke: Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Back, slave, or I will break thy pate across. Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, None but a holy hermit and her maid. Fair Lord AEneas, let me touch your hand; I know not why, except to get the land. MMMMXXIV - "TTEDINTHEDISTR" Then say at once what thou dost know in this. Timon in this should pay more than he owes: Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Dyed in the dying slaughter of their foes: It was a vision fair and fortunate: Now go with me and with this holy man The more that Henry was unfortunate. Her tongue will not obey her heart, nor can Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds I pray you, have in mind where we must meet. Speak softly, or the loss of those great towns This deed I'll do before this purpose cool. Running it thus) you'll tender me a fool. MMMMXXV - "ACTIONOFTHISMA" Asses, fools, dolts! chaff and bran, chaff and bran! Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Thou art too gentle and too free a man: I will advise you where to plant yourselves; O, sure I am, the wits of former days Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Or one encompass'd with a winding maze, For lovers ever run before the clock. The more that Henry was unfortunate. Hither return all gilt with Frenchmen's blood; It was a vision fair and fortunate: So, by a roaring tempest on the flood, Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets, And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets. MMMMXXVI - "DDINGFEVEROBEN" Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, Doth part his function and is partly blind, Is it so nominated in the bond? Not letting it decline on the declined, Gramercy, lovely Lucius: what's the news? For nimble thought can jump both sea and land Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Virtue he had, deserving to command: Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Real necessities, and give way the while O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get? Buried this sigh in wrinkle of a smile: Else had she with her father rang'd along. Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! MMMMXXVII - "EFITOFILLNOWIF" Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought For truth, for duty, and for loyalty. I dreamt my master and another fought, To stranger blood, to foreign royalty. O night, which ever art when day is not! For peace, for love, for league, and good to Rome: I'll tell you how these lands are to be got. Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? Let this dissension first be tried by fight, Nor never come in vizard to my friend, O' let me, true in love, but truly write, When you are better temper'd to attend. I pray you tell me what you meant by that. For men to see, and seeing wonder at. MMMMXXVIII - "INDTRUETHATBET" I rather of his absence make this use: No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. The kiss you take is better than you give; Rest on my word, and let not discontent Upon the next live creature that it sees. Either of king or council, when you went These lords, my noble fellows, if they please, Have we not lost most part of all the towns, And such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff The thunder-like percussion of thy sounds, Bring in the banquet quickly; wine enough Either they must be dieted like mules Too headstrong for their mother. See, we fools! MMMMXXIX - "TERISBYEVILSTI" This world had air'd them: hence I took a thought, Even so void is your false heart of truth. Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. In wholesome counsel to his unstaid youth? Send her a story of thy noble acts; But will you hear? the king is my love sworn. You, sirrah, provide your block and your axe End in one purpose, and be all well borne Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; I must have patience to endure the load: Lorenzo, I commit into your hands Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; That I, thy enemy, due thee withal; I humbly thank him, and I thank you all. MMMMXXX - "LLMADEBETTERAN" Let's to the Capitol. Would half my wealth Let that one article rank with the rest; My lord, fair Helen told me of their stealth, A yielding 'gainst some reason in my breast Do a fair message to his kingly ears? Every man shift for all the rest, and Be singly counterpoised. At sixteen years, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand The well-appointed king at Hampton pier The bawdy wind that kisses all it meets Even or odd, of all days in the year, Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. And will that thou henceforth attend on us. Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! MMMMXXXI - "DRUINDLOVEWHEN" Does it not, thinks't thee, stand me now upon- Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Uncle of Winchester, I pray, read on. I will not speak with him. Say I am sick. Nor need'st thou much importune me to that Did come to languish; and, indeed, my lord, Let me have men about me that are fat; Oppos'd against the act, bending his sword Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere such another Julius. Britain is What wisdom stirs amongst you? Come, sir, now He does deny him, in respect of his, Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, Never make known what you have seen to-night. MMMMXXXII - "ITISBUILTANEWG" I tore them from their bonds and cried aloud Thy tender-hefted nature shall not give I will instruct my sorrows to be proud; So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live? But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride Under an osier growing by a brook, I'll know his grievance, or be much denied. Love's stories written in love's richest book. Thou Icarus; thy life to me is sweet: Although the last, not least; to whose young love Never did passenger in summer's heat Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Wash'd me from shore to shore, and left me breath God knows I will not do it, to the death. MMMMXXXIII - "ROWSFAIRERTHAN" Richer than that which four successive kings O, 'tis the curse in love, and still approved, Within this mile break forth a hundred springs; She hath assay'd as much as may be proved; From courtly friends, with camping foes to live, A ragged and forestall'd remission. I do not know that Englishman alive Remember so weak a composition. Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Though you are old enough to be my heir. Hath made her break out into terms of rage! And with loud 'larums welcome them to Rome. Namely, some love that drew him oft from home. MMMMXXXIV - "ATFIRSTMORESTR" Ah, foul shrewd news! beshrew thy very heart! Thy father, or thy mother, nay, or both, Fifty ways; therefore tremble and depart. Is Edward your true king? for I were loath Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Should dying men flatter with those that live? That tide will stay me longer than I should. My faith and this the princess I did give: On this sad shadow Lucrece spends her eyes, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Send for your ring, I will return it home, To show yourself your father's son in deed Rather than Paris. These are news indeed! MMMMXXXV - "ONGFARGREATERS" Of this their purpose hither to this wood; No sneaping winds at home, to make us say Great grief grieves most at that would do it good; For yet his honour never heard a play, A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Good uncle Marcus, see how swift she comes. Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. And banish hence these abject lowly dreams. To mend the petty present, I will piece Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Say you can swim; alas, 'tis but a while! MMMMXXXVI - "OIRETURNREBUKE" Opinion, that did help me to the crown, I do betray myself with blushing. Maid! Rotten opinion, who hath writ me down Each present lord began to promise aid, Their iron indignation 'gainst your walls: Under the blow of thralled discontent, Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. But if the gods themselves did see her then, Unmeritable shuns your high request. Kind Tyrrel, am I happy in thy news? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMMMXXXVII - "DTOMYCONTENTAN" Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign: Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. Or bring your latter hazard back again Make Ossa like a wart! Nay, an thou'lt mouth, Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, Comes the King back from Wales, my noble lord? Or, wanting that, with tears distill'd by moans: Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, To eat those little darlings whom they loved. Expecting in return twenty for one? Now welcome more, and ten times more beloved, To do this outrage: and it now is done. All days are nights to see till I see thee, Now, tell me, Proteus, what's your will with me? MMMMXXXVIII - "DGAINBYILLTHRI" Did you perceive how he laughed at his vice? God-den to your worship, good Captain James. And not alone in habit and device, I would we had a thousand Roman dames Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn But fear not thou, until thy foot be snared, Your master will be dead ere you return; Is all the counsel that we two have shared, Let me excuse thee: ah! my love well knows Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: To put down Richard, that sweet lovely rose, How churlishly I chid Lucetta hence, Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: I'd set my ten commandments in your face. MMMMXXXIX - "CEMORETHANIHAV" Can justly praise but what he does affect: England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; My love should kindle to inflam'd respect. Of their afflictions, and shall not myself, Receive thy lance; and God defend the right! Except it be to pray against thy foes. The painful warrior famoused for fight, His goods confiscate to the duke's dispose, And losing her, my friend hath found that loss; Necessity's sharp pinch! Return with her? If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, He can command, lets it straight feel the spur; A foutra for the world and worldlings base! Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. MMMMXL - "ESPENTTHATYOUW" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. She was too good for me: but, as I said, Paris, Guysors, Poictiers, are all quite lost. Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived, Therefore thou must be hang'd at the state's charge. This is not strong enough to be believed He calls me to a restitution large Ay, or else I would I might be hanged, la! Till his breath breatheth life in her again. You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha! Of what she was no semblance did remain: Upon the heels of my presentment, sir. Where is the gentleman that was with her? MMMMXLI - "EREONCEUNKINDB" Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Retaining but a quantity of life, Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? Nor do I as an enemy to peace Come, Marcus; come, kinsmen; this is the way. Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Unable to support this lump of clay, Now, France, thy glory droopeth to the dust. Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild; In this appeal as thou art all unjust; Nor when thy warlike father, like a child, Definitively thus I answer you. Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true? MMMMXLII - "EFRIENDSMENOWA" Extremity of griefs would make men mad; For parting us,--O, is it all forgot? Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, I'll tell you how these lands are to be got. Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Never so needful on the earth of France, Deserved it too; and then the boy, his clerk, Since you are strangers and come here by chance, My father gave me honour, yours gave land. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Nay, this way, man: see where the huntsmen stand. O, these are barren tasks, too hard to keep, Which, like a canker in the fragrant rose, Against the pope and count his friends my foes. MMMMXLIII - "NDFORTHATSORRO" Now, Kate, I am a husband for your turn; Decius, well urged: I think it is not meet, Full often, like a shag-hair'd crafty kern, Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit, Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which That he could nothing do but wish and beg He is gone happy, and has left me rich: And therefore think him as a serpent's egg This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Since the more fair and crystal is the sky, Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Or do I dream? Or have I dream'd till now? MMMMXLIV - "WWHICHITHENDID" When Fortune in her shift and change of mood Whether it be through force of your report, His corrigible neck, his face subdued I with the morning's love have oft made sport, Curling their monstrous heads, and hanging them His glassy essence, like an angry ape, I saw't this morning: confident I am To take the basest and most poorest shape Had I but said, I would have kept my word, Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Never to speak of this that you have heard: Disparage not the faith thou dost not know, I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak, Does not divide the Sunday from the week. MMMMXLV - "FEELNEEDSMUSTI" For Venus smiles not in a house of tears. Else would I very shortly see thee there. Environed with all these hideous fears? Let him go up into the public chair; Never was seen so black a day as this: Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. Setting aside his high blood's royalty, My boat sails freely, both with wind and stream. Upon her nuptial vow, her loyalty, Such terrible impression made the dream. To see her noble lord restor'd to health, I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth. MMMMXLVI - "UNDERMYTRANSGR" Unless it be to come before their time; Nor other satisfaction do I crave, Drove back again unto my native clime? Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Return'd my letter back. Then all alone My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. You'll mar it if you kiss it, stain your own Too much the rein: the strongest oaths are straw Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! And woo her with some spirit when she comes. Nay then, the wanton lies; my face is black. Serving of becks and jutting-out of bums! Give me your hands all over, one by one. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. MMMMXLVII - "ESSIONBOWUNLES" Eleanor, the law, thou see'st, hath judged thee: Son, list to this conjunction, make this match; So many English kings. Thy due from me I your commission will forthwith dispatch, Of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales; Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck; Because I would not see thy cruel nails Of as great size. Ween you of better luck, Well, I will lock his counsel in my breast; Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil Nor change my countenance for this arrest: Leads discontented steps in foreign soil, Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange So much complexion? Look ye, how they change! MMMMXLVIII - "SMYNERVESWEREB" So many guests invite as here are writ. Macduff lives in disgrace: sir, can you tell Your victuals: come, there is sauce for it. No, sir, no jot; I know your favour well, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Expecting in return twenty for one? So many blows upon this face of mine, Why, then, your ladyship must cut your hair. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Rather than have that savage duke thine heir Even or odd, of all days in the year, Bed, chamber, Pandar to provide this gear! MMMMXLIX - "RASSORHAMMERDS" Razeth your cities and subverts your towns And he my husband best of all affects. Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- So mighty and so many my defects, O Warwick, I do bend my knee with thine; Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; He show'd his warrant to a friend of mine: And put the Englishmen unto the sword: My judgment is we should not step too far Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well. So thrive it in your game! and so, farewell. MMMML - "TEELFORIFYOUWE" Ten years are spent since first he undertook Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Lusty and like to live: the queen receives For I will board her though she chide as loud Occasions, noble Gloucester, of some poise, Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, I saw their weapons drawn: there was a noise, Fair Helena, who more engilds the night Your honour has through Ephesus pour'd forth O, be not proud, nor brag not of thy might, Under the lordly monarch of the north, When shall you see me write a thing in rhyme? England ne'er had a king until his time. MMMMLI - "REBYMYUNKINDNE" Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Bring in the banquet quickly; wine enough You have not dared to break the holy seal Master, your love must live a maid at home; Yet nature might have made me as these are, Unless he do submit himself to Rome. Nature dispenses with the deed so far Kissing with golden face the meadows green, I could have better spared a better man: No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, Do no more offices of life to't than No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings End in a word: such is the breath of kings. MMMMLII - "SSSHAKENASIBYY" Scarce had the sun dried up the dewy morn, So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. Had fasten'd him unto a small spare mast, And do not shear the fleeces that I graze. Kinsmen, shoot all your shafts into the court: Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Not portable, lie under this report: And least proportion of humanity: Shall be the war that Henry means to use. I can no longer brook thy vanities. Be gone! I will not hear thy vain excuse; Yourself? Why, do you not perceive the jest? You swore to that, Biron, and to the rest. MMMMLIII - "OURSYOUVEPASSD" O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Under whose brim the gaudy sun would peep; Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Shall secretly into the bosom creep Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit Until her husband and my lord's return: Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Put him to choler straight: he hath been used A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross; Saying, some shape in Sinon's was abused; Since thou couldst not defend thy loyal dame, Dim register and notary of shame! MMMMLIV - "AHELLOFTIMEAND" As if some mermaid did their ears entice, How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Let him depart; his passport shall be made Or mangled shalt thou be by this my sword. For I can guess that by thy honest aid That sings with piercing; do not touch my lord. I took a costly jewel from my neck, My life I never held but as a pawn Each in his office ready at thy beck. And they shall do their office. So, be gone; Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! MMMMLV - "IATYRANTHAVENO" I will not do them wrong; I rather choose And let his very breath, whom thou'lt observe, They'll be in scarlet straight at any news. You shall outlive the lady whom you serve. Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. As true as steel, as plantage to the moon, No more such wives; therefore, no wife: one worse, Than you expect: unseal this letter soon; Henceforth we banish thee, on pain of death. And triumphs over chance in honour's bed. Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Neither disturbed with the effect of wine, O, 'tis the sun that maketh all things shine. MMMMLVI - "LEISURETAKENTO" Leave off discourse of disability: Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, In all submission and humility Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Ensuing dangers; as by proof, we see Thee with scambling, and thou must therefore needs As he will have me, how am I so poor? King Richard might create a perfect guess Exposing what is mortal and unsure No, I defy all counsel, all redress, This said, in top of rage the lines she rents, O heavy times, begetting such events! MMMMLVII - "WEIGHHOWONCEIS" When Pistol lies, do this; and fig me, like Early and late, debating to and fro I have not sought the day of this dislike. Good Tom Drum, lend me a handkercher: so, He then that is not furnish'd in this sort How long within this wood intend you stay? On Thursday, sir? the time is very short. Where the dead corpse of Bassianus lay: O, let me teach thee! for my father's sake, Never did passenger in summer's heat Can it not do and undo? I will make Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet I lose myself: better I were not yours She'll be a soldier too, she'll to the wars. MMMMLVIII - "UFFEREDINYOURC" Unless thou wert more loyal than thou art: Fain would I go to chafe his paly lips For it no form delivers to the heart Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. England shall double gild his treble guilt; Descend to darkness and the burning lake! Iron of Naples hid with English gilt, Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, You that survive, and you that sleep in fame! O insupportable and touching loss! Using no other weapon but his name. Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Casca will tell us what the matter is. MMMMLIX - "RIMEOTHATOURNI" Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; I moralize two meanings in one word. My father gave me honour, yours gave land. Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Ordained is to raise this tedious siege Talkers are no good doers: be assured He never did fall off, my sovereign liege, And now, to tempt, all liberty procured. To use my wings. Impute it not a crime On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Under these hard conditions as this time Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Not all together: better far, I guess, I'll send him certain word of my success. MMMMLX - "GHTOFWOEMIGHTH" Give entertainment to the might of it, Have done, for more I hardly can endure. Therefore if you my favour mean to get, Or stones whose rates are either rich or poor For him, and in his right, we hold this town. What he hath lost noble Macbeth hath won. On Wednesday next we solemnly set down Expecting in return twenty for one? My daughter's buried. Well: where were you bred? Is free of speech, sings, plays and dances well; Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell Thus might he pass indeed. Yet he revives. Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. MMMMLXI - "AVEREMEMBERDMY" A fasting tiger safer by the tooth, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Even so void is your false heart of truth. Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Each jealous of the other, as the stung Myself disgraced, and the nobility Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Making them proud of his humility, But, like a shrew, you first begin to brawl. Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Remember whom you are to cope withal; Dear husband, in the interest of thy bed My child? away with't! Even thou, that hast Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. MMMMLXII - "DEEPESTSENSEHO" Do I put up that womanly defence, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Pinched with the colic, you make faces like Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Sir, I do invite you too; you shall not That in thy likeness thou appear to us! So great a day as this is cheaply bought. Expire before the flowers in their caps, Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps. Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Hazard so near us as doth hourly grow O you immortal gods! I will not go. MMMMLXIII - "WHARDTRUESORRO" Whose tenors and particular effects Hath he deserved to lose his birthright thus? And so farewell until I meet thee next. Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Dry up in her the organs of increase; To tread a measure with you on this grass. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Even so void is your false heart of truth. Spy her through the wall. You shall see, it will Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth; Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill: Remember whom you are to cope withal; O, let me stay, befall what may befall! MMMMLXIV - "WHITSANDSOONTO" Which out of daily fortune ever taints He was a gentleman on whom I built If you will now unite in your complaints, Thee thither in a whirlwind. If thou wilt, Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. And extreme fear can neither fight nor fly, Now thy proud neck bears half my burthen'd yoke; Died he not in his bed? where should he die? Seditious to his grace and to the state. O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, Of twenty men, it would dispatch you straight. Now, trust me, 'tis an office of great worth Than is the full-wing'd eagle. O, this life Of my consent that she should be your wife. MMMMLXV - "YOUASYOUTOMETH" You shake, my lord, at something: will you go? O, let me think on Hastings, and be gone Under your great command. You are to know And there it is in writing fairly drawn. So full of dismal terror was the time! Yet have I gold flies from another coast; Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Upon my death the French can little boast; To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. My ashes, as the phoenix, may bring forth Either they must be dieted like mules The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, Having my country's peace and brothers' loves. MMMMLXVI - "ENTENDERDTHEHU" Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: None can be call'd deform'd but the unkind: That have afflictions on them, knowing 'tis Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, No more of this; it does offend my heart: Do you set down your name in the scroll of Each one demand an answer to his part Relieved him with such sanctity of love, Destroy'd his country, and his name remains That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day. Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains. Entreat her not the worse in that I pray Have done thy charm, thou hateful wither'd hag! Until my eyelids will no longer wag. MMMMLXVII - "MBLESLAVEWHICH" My heart will sigh when I miscall it so, Bid them have patience; she shall come anon. Lay comforts to your bosom, and bestow Excels whatever yet you look'd upon She had her breeding at my father's charge. Let those whom Nature hath not made for store, And, ere I part with thee, confer at large Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? England did never owe so sweet a hope, What he breathes out his breath drinks up again. His coming hither hath no further scope If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain; Conceives by idleness and nothing teems How far that little candle throws his beams! MMMMLXVIII - "WOUNDEDBOSOMSF" What shall I do to win my lord again? O boy, thy father gave thee life too soon, Until you see her die again; for then Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. Done to me, undeserving as I am, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Dispropertied their freedoms, holding them, Besides, it should appear, that if he had O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop Stand by me, Lucius; do not fear thine aunt. Open your ears; for which of you will stop Marry, before your ladyship, I grant, Still and contemplative in living art. For by his face straight shall you know his heart. MMMMLXIX - "ITSBUTTHATYOUR" I think 'twas Soto that your honour means. Than public means which public manners breeds. Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Bear with her weakness, which, I think proceeds Under your testy humour? By the gods To ruffle in the commonwealth of Rome. This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Hence, prating peasant! fetch thy master home. And we will nothing waste till you return. The daughter of a king, my drops of tears Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! Upon mine honour, he shall never know Rather than triumph in so false a foe. MMMMLXX - "TRESPASSNOWBEC" Thine eye begins to speak; set thy tongue there; Receive them then, the tribute that I owe, Environ you, till mischief and despair Should conquer Antony; but woe 'tis so! Protector, see to't well, protect yourself. And well said too; for who shall go about Some patient leisure to excuse myself. Search Windsor Castle, elves, within and out: Now to the Goths, as swift as swallow flies; O thou fond many, with what loud applause What merit's in that reason which denies But shall be render'd to your public laws Eating the air and promise of supply, Come, side by side together live and die. MMMMLXXI - "OMESAFEEMINERA" O, then how quickly should this arm of mine. Madam, I swear I use no art at all. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign So that the ram that batters down the wall, And winds of all the comers kiss'd your sails, France is a bawd to Fortune and King John, Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon My scars can witness, dumb although they are, In arms as sound as when I woo'd, in heart Nature dispenses with the deed so far Each one demand an answer to his part Raise up the Montagues: some others search: And am not I a prelate of the church? MMMMLXXII - "NSOMSYOURSANDY" Nothing more dear to me. You are abused Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, O, that a lady, of one man refused. More noble blows than ever thou wise words; Saving your mincing, the capacity Your honour has through Ephesus pour'd forth Of spirit, Life, and bold audacity. Under the lordly monarch of the north, Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, She is importunate, indeed distract. And so I love and honour thee and thine, Now puts the drowsy and neglected act Did ever raven sing so like a lark, You sent me to the bay, sir, for a bark. MMMMLXXIII - "OURSMUSTRANSOM" O, this is full of pity! Sir, it calls, Upon the instant that she was accused, Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Should of another therefore be abused! More than with ruthless waves, with sands and rocks. Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; So are those crisped snaky golden locks Take thou that too, with multiplying bans! Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Arm, arm with speed: and, fellows, soldiers, friends, Not like to me, or any of my kin, Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish My will is something sorted with his wish. MMMMLXXIV - "METISBETTERTOB" My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, To match us in comparisons with dirt, In the remembrance of a weeping queen. Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word, But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard To hover on the dreadful shore of Styx? These news would cause him once more yield the ghost. England shall double gild his treble guilt; Receiving them from such a worthless post. Thee thither in a whirlwind. If thou wilt, O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends But only painted, like his varnish'd friends? MMMMLXXV - "EVILETHANVILEE" Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, If that an eye may profit by a tongue, Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, To stay him from the fall of vanity: Hark, villains! I will grind your bones to dust And least proportion of humanity: Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, If thou dost find him tractable to us, Let them not live to taste this land's increase Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. MMMMLXXVI - "STEEMDWHENNOTT" Scarcely have coveted what was mine own, That robb'd my soldiers of their heated spleen; Each man apart, all single and alone, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. March by us, that we may peruse the men Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, Win straying souls with modesty again, He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Now all is done, have what shall have no end: Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Of health and living now begins to mend, The anchor is deep: will that humour pass? To tread a measure with her on this grass. MMMMLXXVII - "OBERECEIVESREP" O my good lord, the world is but a word: Base watch of woes, sin's pack-horse, virtue's snare; Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign I will advise you where to plant yourselves; Visit the speechless sick and still converse Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Pray you, what thinks he of our estate? MMMMLXXVIII - "ROACHOFBEINGAN" Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Of Alcibiades the approaches wild, A weak bond holds you: I'll not trust your word. Canst thou so daff me? Thou hast kill'd my child: How could he stay till Warwick made return? Or who should study to prefer a peace. Full often, like a shag-hair'd crafty kern, Being the time the potion's force should cease. England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. I know not, gentlemen, what you intend, Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. Give you all greetings that a king, at friend, And there an end; but now they rise again, No less! nay, bigger; women grow by men. MMMMLXXIX - "DTHEJUSTPLEASU" Detest them, curse them: yet 'tis greater skill They crave to be demanded. Who is this Hates any man the thing he would not kill? Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Just and upright; and, for your royal birth, Uplift us to the view; in their thick breaths, So, weeping, smiling, greet I thee, my earth, Took her own way. The manner of their deaths? Patience, dear niece. Good Titus, dry thine eyes. Let them not cease, but with a din confused Envy the great nor do the low despise. And for thy life let justice be accused. Showing fair nature is both kind and tame; Until thy head be circled with the same. MMMMLXXX - "RELOSTWHICHISS" Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. Early and late, debating to and fro Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. O, why rebuke you him that loves you so? Standing on slippers, which his nimble haste Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now, Which though myself would gladly have embraced, Here, villain; drawn and ready. Where art thou? I know not how to tell thee who I am: Came I to take her from her kindred's vault; Hence with it, and together with the dam I do beseech you, let it be his fault, Such hazard now must doting Tarquin make, Save thieves, and cares, and troubled minds, that wake. MMMMLXXXI - "ODEEMDNOTBYOUR" Off with my boots, you rogues! you villains, when? Drove back again unto my native clime? Establish him in his true sense again, Exception bid him speak, and at this time More criminal in thee than it,--so thou Do appear, to make the world twice rich. Live, Nor mine, my lord: Cressid was here but now. Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; This palpable-gross play hath well beguiled But then AEneas bare a living load, You are as fond of grief as of your child. Once more adieu! my father at the road Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, Repair hither and say you are not fit. MMMMLXXXII - "FEELINGBUTBYOT" For they are actions that a man might play; Entreated me to call and know her mind: Entreat her not the worse in that I pray Leaving free things and happy shows behind; I doubt not but his friends will fly to us. Nathaniel's coat, sir, was not fully made, Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; Brethren and sisters of the hold-door trade, Unready! ay, and glad we 'scaped so well. Think, how thou stab'dst me in my prime of youth But he that writes of you, if he can tell Yet, I persuade myself, to speak the truth O, let those cities that of plenty's cup That thou provok'st thyself to cast him up. MMMMLXXXIII - "HERSSEEINGFORW" Here are the heads of thy two noble sons; Edward will always bear himself as king: Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Shed yet some small drops from thy tender spring, Should be full-fraught with serviceable vows. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Nay, then he should be blind; and, being blind Gives not the hawthorn-bush a sweeter shade From Rome all season'd office and to wind Or whether gasted by the noise I made, Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Who is it that can tell me who I am? MMMMLXXXIV - "HYSHOULDOTHERS" How covert matters may be best disclosed, You are deceived; my child is none of his: So hot a speed with such advice disposed, How sharp the point of this remembrance is!-- On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Until your lordship came to see his death; Like powder in a skitless soldier's flask, Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath, Or whether 'twas report of her success; To answer mildly; for they are prepared He will allow no speech, which I do guess Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! MMMMLXXXV - "FALSEADULTERAT" For beauty that made barren the swell'd boast And live a coward in thine own esteem, Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host, Sit fas aut nefas, till I find the stream Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Away with them! let them be clapp'd up close. Dear Princess, were not his requests so far Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Lucius, what book is that she tosseth so? Thou canst not frown, thou canst not look askance, Early and late, debating to and fro Reignier, her father, to the king of France And make a sop of all this solid globe: That did disrobe the lion of that robe! MMMMLXXXVI - "EEYESGIVESALUT" Effect it with some care, that he may prove End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Yet come again; for thou perhaps mayst move Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Stay yet. You vile abominable tents, God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, If I did stay to look on his intents. Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: England shall double gild his treble guilt; Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; And give to dust that is a little gilt Levied an army, weening to redeem Unto the sovereign mercy of the king; That could be moved to smile at any thing. MMMMLXXXVII - "ATIONTOMYSPORT" After the shepherd that complain'd of love, The worms were hallow'd that did breed the silk; Is this the man that you did tell us of? Of thy nativity! I would the milk None but that ugly treason of mistrust, Therefore we'll have some half a dozen friends, One sudden foil shall never breed distrust. More grave and wrinkled than the aims and ends Yet have I heard,--O, could I find it now!-- Sometime puts forth. In your affairs, my lord, Paints itself black, to imitate her brow. Of monstrous lust the due and just reward: Rather to wonder at the things you hear They fright him, yet he still pursues his fear. MMMMLXXXVIII - "IVEBLOODORONMY" If in this blemish'd fort I make some hole Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, But that I cannot do ten thousand more. Like holy Phoebus' car. Give me thy hand: Of disobedient opposition Of noble blood in this declining land. Darest with thy frozen admonition Or any he the proudest of thy sort. Rely upon it till my tale be heard, On Thursday, sir? the time is very short. No, my good lord; but Pluto sends you word, Make me, that nothing have, with nothing grieved, You shall confess that you are both deceived. MMMMLXXXIX - "FRAILTIESWHYAR" From forth the kennel of thy womb hath crept Reply not in how many fathoms deep And suck'd the honey which thy chaste bee kept. I am a soldier, and unapt to weep, Led by a delicate and tender prince, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: I heard no letter from my master since Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. She stripp'd it from her arm; I see her yet; With falsehood, cowardice and poor descent, Her help she sees, but help she cannot get; Yet art thou slain in him: thou dost consent And fought so long, till that his thighs with darts Rather than rob me of the people's hearts! MMMMXC - "EFRAILERSPIESW" Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Father, what news? what is the prince's doom? Reply not in how many fathoms deep As one dead in the bottom of a tomb: It sends some precious instance of itself Let me be punish'd, that have minded you Else would he never so demean himself. Return of love, more blest may be the view; Shall be well winged with our chiefest horse. Pardon me, madam: little joy have I If so your heart were touch'd with that remorse Either to get the town again or die: Should be shut up, hear what Ulysses speaks. What grief hath set the jaundice on your cheeks? MMMMXCI - "HICHINTHEIRWIL" How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds I am not mad; I know thee well enough: Crown'd with rank fumiter and furrow weeds, His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Into the law of children. Be not fond, Not working with the eye without the ear, Take thrice thy money; bid me tear the bond. Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Remember whom you are to cope withal; Why should that name be sounded more than yours? I pray you, sirs, lie in my tent and sleep; Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep. MMMMXCII - "LSCOUNTBADWHAT" Lies crafty-sick. The posts come tiring on, Show me, my women, like a queen: go fetch Caesar and Antony have ever won O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! Unlike young men, whom Aristotle thought Nay, it shall ne'er be said, while England stands, Thy honourable metal may be wrought But since correction lieth in those hands A woman I forswore; but I will prove, Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: What, here? O nation, that thou couldst remove! How have I been behaved, that he might stick And in that sea of blood my boy did drench This is the way to kindle, not to quench. MMMMXCIII - "ITHINKGOODNOIA" I see a woman may be made a fool That only to stand high in your account, He was quick mettle when he went to school. I fill a place, I know't. How long is't, count, Never so much as in a thought unborn Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. Gone! they went hence so soon as they were born: Or I shall live your epitaph to make, Of both your armies; whose equality Dat is as it sall please de roi mon pere. Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality: O, how I long to have some chat with her! In this I'll be impartial; be you judge And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? MMMMXCIV - "MTHATIAMANDTHE" My brother slew no man; his fault was thought, Thou that art like enough, through vassal fear, He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught And not have title of an earldom here. To the ambassadors of England gives I will resist such entertainment till And her immortal part with angels lives. More than enough am I that vex thee still, After the Danish sword, and thy free awe Nor tackle, sail, nor mast; the very rats Do surfeit by the eye and pine the maw, Than some that have accused them wear their hats. He wishes earnestly you never may. Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MMMMXCV - "YTHATLEVELATMY" You more invest it! Ebbing men, indeed, Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, Hath nature that in time will venom breed, And stay, good nurse, behind the abbey wall: The one in fear to lose what they enjoy, Let those whom Nature hath not made for store, Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Each Trojan that is master of his heart, Like to a bowl upon a subtle ground, Am as well in my wits, fool, as thou art. To whom I am so infinitely bound. My twelve months are expired, and Tyrus stands You have enscheduled briefly in your hands. MMMMXCVI - "ABUSESRECKONUP" As we do trace this alley up and down, But creep in crannies when he hides his beams. Upon the maiden virtue of the crown. Speed more than speed but dull and slow she deems: Except some petty towns of no import: So thou be good, slander doth but approve Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Effect it with some care, that he may prove Clapping their hands, and crying with loud voice, Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, Nay, hear you, Kate- in sooth, you scape not so. Unto a lineal true-derived course. Presented to the tears of soft remorse. MMMMXCVII - "THEIROWNIMAYBE" Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word, Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Is this the poultice for my aching bones? Remember whom you are to cope withal; Of this his nephew's purpose, to suppress Without her love; for her employ them all; Not all together: better far, I guess, I must be brief, lest resolution drop My message must return from whence it came. And of so easy and so plain a stop Yet one time he did call me by my name: By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. MMMMXCVIII - "STRAIGHTTHOUGH" Show me a villain that hath done a rape, That I some lady trifles have reserved, Rome will despise her for this foul escape. An honest one, I warrant; who deserved In life so lifeless as it shows itself. Grace, I hope: that were a trick indeed! but Here is the head; I'll carry it myself. Thou teachest me, O valiant Eros, what Truly to speak, and with no addition, He stamps and bites the poor flies in his fume. Of disobedient opposition Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault, How now! what means death in this rude assault? MMMMXCIX - "THEYTHEMSELVES" Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? His antidotes are poison, and he slays Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; You told how Diomed, a whole week by days, To their salt sovereign, with their fresh falls' haste Henry now lives in Scotland at his ease, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Men, more divine, the masters of all these, Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Let me but bear your love, I'll bear your cares. Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Shame serves thy life and doth thy death attend. MMMMC - "BEBEVELBYTHEIR" By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Each one demand an answer to his part But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Lucy, farewell; no more my fortune can, But your request shall make me let it pass. Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex: Turns into yellow gold his salt green streams. Hanging a golden stamp about their necks, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. I know the man. What is the sum he owes? Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. MMMMCI - "RANKTHOUGHTSMY" Rome and the righteous heavens be my judge, A little joy enjoys the queen thereof; Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge Kate, eat apace. And now, my honey love, They know their master loves to be aloft, Had all your quarters been as safely kept O, yes; and went between us very oft. Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, Give my sweet Nan this ring: there's for thy pains. Had we no quarrel else to Rome, but that Than drops of blood were in my father's veins. Say now, whose suit is he arrested at? Meet what I would have well, and it destroy, You know my mind, I'll fight no more 'gainst Troy. MMMMCII - "DEEDSMUSTNOTBE" Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake, Exception bid him speak, and at this time England we love; and for that England's sake Drove back again unto my native clime? So hath my lord dared him to single fight. My gracious uncle, let me know my fault: Unkind remembrance! thou and eyeless night Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault, There will we mount, and thither walk on foot. Now is she in the very lists of love, Of all the world I loved and to him put To spite a raven's heart within a dove. But now will canker-sorrow eat my bud Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MMMMCIII - "SHOWNUNLESSTHI" So that from point to point now have you heard His looks I fear, and his intents I doubt. O my good lord, the world is but a word: Where is this king?- Sirs, staid you all without. No child but Hero; she's his only heir. Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs; Not used to toil, did almost sweat to bear Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies; Every man shift for all the rest, and Shall falter under foul rebellion's arms. Sometimes her arms infold him like a band: That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, Hath crawl'd into the favour of the king, I'll die for't but some woman had the ring. MMMMCIV - "SGENERALEVILTH" So, Bassianus, you have play'd your prize: Gentles, perchance you wonder at this show; Envy the great nor do the low despise. Not mad, but mated; how, I do not know. Envy your great deservings and good name, Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown. And they, well mock'd, depart away with shame. Lord, Lord! methought, what pain it was to drown! Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. It may be good: pride hath no other glass Lest rest and lying still might make them look Thou bid'st me to my loss: for true to thee He beckons with his hand and smiles on me. MMMMCV - "EYMAINTAINALLM" Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Yet I not doing this, the fool had borne My tongue could never learn sweet smoothing word; And place my merit in the eye of scorn, In thy despite shall 'scape mortality. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, That rage in savage sensuality. A wisp of straw were worth a thousand crowns, It shall be eased, if France can yield relief. Nor heady-rash, provoked with raging ire, Are merely shadows to the unseen grief Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Let me embrace thee in my weary arms: My spirit can no longer bear these harms. MMMMCVI - "ENAREBADANDINT" Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. No, I protest, I know not the contents; And, by the necessary form of this, Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Bound to himself! what doth he with a bond And to his palate doth prepare the cup: Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, And to the strict'st decrees I'll write my name. Now, by Saint George, I am too young for you. Death is the fairest cover for her shame In that it scorns to bear another hue; No might nor greatness in mortality That rage in savage sensuality. MMMMCVII - "HEIRBADNESSREI" Hear ye, captain, are you not at leisure? Except it be to pray against thy foes. It is noised he hath a mass of treasure. Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. Be quiet, or--More light, more light! For shame! Ay, ay: O, lay me by my mistress' side. Doth spot the beauty of thy budding name! Ne'er through an arch so hurried the blown tide, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Show me a villain that hath done a rape, Summon'd me hither, to this short-grass'd green? Rome will despise her for this foul escape. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. I have the patience to endure it now. MMMMCVIII - "GNTHYGIFTTHYTA" Guilty thou art of murder and of theft, Not my deserts, but what I will deserve: Thou seest that all the grace that she hath left He had the wit which I can well observe You must eat men. Yet thanks I must you con God's benison go with you; and with those I would entreat you rather to put on For who love I so much? And now who knows This day those enemies are put to death, That in their kind they speak it: only sin Her hair, like golden threads, play'd with her breath; You are too cold; if you should need a pin, Thou of thyself thy sweet self dost deceive. As from my death-bed, thy last living leave. MMMMCIX - "BLESAREWITHINM" Be great in act, as you have been in thought; Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought So are those crisped snaky golden locks As if it had been sow'd. Yet still it's strange Remuneration for the thing it was; Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange What is't to me, when you yourselves are cause, In their poor praise he humbled. Such a man That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. His son am I; deny it, if you can. In summer, where the ways are fair enough: Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad, My Lord of Surrey, why look you so sad? MMMMCX - "YBRAINFULLCHAR" Your hearts of sorrow and your eyes of tears: But now, I do respect thee as my soul. Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; A precious ring, that lightens all the hole, Ill-nurtured, crooked, churlish, harsh in voice, Not being torn a-pieces, we have done: For now reviving joy bids her rejoice, Up in the air, crown'd with the golden sun, Let's have your company, or, if you please, Lest child, child's children, cry against you woe! Come, he hath hid himself among these trees, Her mother hath many times told me so. And those his golden beams to you here lent Repair'd with double riches of content. MMMMCXI - "ACTERDWITHLAST" As full of sorrows as the sea of sands, Come down, and welcome me to this world's light; That mount the Capitol; join gripes with hands Either his gracious promise, which you might, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. Why lifts she up her arms in sequence thus? I do beseech you, take it not amiss; The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Her father's heart from her! Call France! Who stirs? Look to it, lords! let not his smoothing words And if she did play false, the fault was hers; Stands not within the prospect of belief, Thy honey turns to gall, thy joy to grief! MMMMCXII - "INGMEMORYWHICH" I conjure thee but slowly; run more fast. Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind; Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past: Mistake me not; I speak but as I find. Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, My father's purposes have been mistook; Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Yet I was mortally brought forth, and am We'll hear him. Noble Antony, go up. Hence with it, and together with the dam I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Cutting a smaller hair than may be seen, He doth intend she shall be England's queen. MMMMCXIII - "SHALLABOVETHAT" Some consequence yet hanging in the stars He'ld make an end of thy posterity. And Humphrey with the peers be fall'n at jars: Lady, you know no rules of charity, Lash hence these overweening rags of France, At last she sees a wretched image bound, Both stood, like old acquaintance in a trance, Of mine own kindred: when I waked, I found Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Except some petty towns of no import: The multitude, beside themselves with fear, How many times shall Caesar bleed in sport, And send to darkness all that stop me. Come, Three thousand ducats; 'tis a good round sum. MMMMCXIV - "IDLERANKREMAIN" I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Deny your asking: take your choice of those Labelled to my will: as, item, two lips, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Repent what's past; avoid what is to come; And now the happy season once more fits, Now, by the ground that I am banish'd from, Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits, Repair hither and say you are not fit. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Make something nothing by augmenting it. And thou that art his mate, make boot of this; I know this act shows horrible and grim. Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. MMMMCXV - "BEYONDALLDATEE" Barkloughly castle call they this at hand? Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. You, Polydote, have proved best woodman and Of your profession? Speak, what trade art thou? Never hung poison on a fouler toad. Didst undertake it? Why hast thou abused A thievish living on the common road? Let them not cease, but with a din confused Look how he can, she cannot choose but love; Dissemble all your griefs and discontents: A little joy enjoys the queen thereof; To blot old books and alter their contents, Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. MMMMCXVI - "VENTOETERNITYO" Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Nettled and stung with pismires, when I hear Thou hate and terror to prosperity, O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Remember so weak a composition. No bitterness that I will bitter think, I would not my unhoused free condition Till that her garments, heavy with their drink, Yield him, who all thy human sons doth hate, O any thing, of nothing first create! MMMMCXVII - "RATTHELEASTSOL" Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; All's well, sir: take my power i' the court That stays but till her owner comes aboard, The chain were longer and the letter short? How chance the roses there do fade so fast? Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: And so did mine too, as the matter falls; Sirrah, come hither; 'tis no time to jest, To make a shaking fever in your walls, Starr'd most unluckily, is from my breast, O father Abram, what these Christians are, Like captives bound to a triumphant car. MMMMCXVIII - "ONGASBRAINANDH" Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! Neither entitled in the other's heart. God knows thou art a collop of my flesh; Art thou a man? thy form cries out thou art: So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon, Bestow it at your pleasure; and believe, Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, A gentle scroll. Fair lady, by your leave; I oft found both: I urge this childhood proof, No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; And underneath that consecrated roof, Needs must I like it well: I weep for joy Do use to chant it: it is silly sooth, Harry the Fifth's the man.

I am compared to twenty thousand fairs. Distasted with the salt of broken tears. MMMMCXLII - "OCHANGETHYPYRA" Once more I'll read the ode that I have writ. Came to me, as I follow'd Henry's corse, He that a fool doth very wisely hit And Nero will be tainted with remorse, Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad Good morrow to my sovereign king and queen: Extremity of griefs would make men mad; The fields are fragrant and the woods are green: Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- You all look strangely on me; and you most.

MMMMCXLVI - "ELNOTHINGSTRAN" Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Legitimation, name and all is gone: Nor never come in vizard to my friend, Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, To be controll'd in that he frankly gave: Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice I'll to the Centaur, to go seek this slave: Never did faithful subject more rejoice God knows thou art a collop of my flesh; Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; There's five to one; besides, they all are fresh.

MMMMCXLVIII - "ESSINGSOFAFORM" Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, So likely an ambassador of love: Swear in both the scales against either scale; If I do feign, you witnesses above Nor I no strength to climb without thy help. God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp O, be advised! thou know'st not what it is Fine linen, Turkey cushions boss'd with pearl, And Humphrey with the peers be fall'n at jars: For I will love thee ne'er the less, my girl.

Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Which holds not colour with the time, nor does Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: And drive away the vulgar from the streets: Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns-- My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets! I saw Othello's visage in his mind, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. MMMMCLII - "EWHATTHOUDOSTF" Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Where Philomel gave up. I have enough: Hark, canst thou hear me? I will play the swan. Affection's edge in me, were she as rough That were unworthy to behold the same?

MMMMCLIII - "OISTUPONUSTHAT" Out of his subject; and we here dispatch I'll have some proof. Her name, that was as fresh Son, list to this conjunction, make this match; Than feed it with such over-roasted flesh. Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Put pardon, father Nestor, were your days Of an one pain, save for a night of groans Needs not the painted flourish of your praise: Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, That she should lock herself from his resort, Happy the parents of so fair a child; And one man's lust these many lives confounds: There roar'd the sea, and trumpet-clangor sounds. MMMMCLIV - "ISOLDANDRATHER" It sends some precious instance of itself Successful in the battles that he fights, O, no! alas, I rather hate myself Like one besotted on your sweet delights: Doth ill deserve by doing well; what's worse, Away! for everything is seal'd and done No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. Deposed his nephew Richard, Edward's son, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all.

Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? MMMMCLV - "MAKETHEMBORNTO" My mistress made it one upon my cheek: And bids you be advised there's nought in France Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak. Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: To meet displeasure farther from the doors, Had I but served my God with half the zeal Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Mark what I say. Attend me where I wheel: Being mounted and both roused in their seats, Occasion smiles upon a second leave. Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. No lady closer; for I well believe The rage be his, whilst on the earth I rain O, thou wilt be a wilderness again. MMMMCLVI - "OURDESIRETHANT" One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; Unless thou couldst return to make amends?

Is jollity for apes and grief for boys. Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Each present lord began to promise aid, To tie up envy evermore enlarged: How fine my master is!

MMMMCLVII - "HINKTHATWEBEFO" How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, It he is to sojourn with you? How creeps Never presented!--O, a root,--dear thanks!-- Knock at his study, where, they say, he keeps, To think upon the part of business which How smooth and even they do bear themselves! And say there is no sin but to be rich; Take heed, lest by your heat you burn yourselves. Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege; Each present lord began to promise aid, But that I am as well begot, my liege,-- Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, For doughty-handed are you, and have fought O monstrous fault, to harbour such a thought! MMMMCLVIII - "REHAVEHEARDTHE" Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Except some petty towns of no import: Had not their bark been very slow of sail; And process of this time, you can report, Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Either be gone before the watch be set, Hath not yet dived into the world's deceit Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Attend me, lords. The proud insulting queen, Religion to the gods, peace, justice, truth, Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth His servant live, and will his vassal die: Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MMMMCLIX - "MTOLDTHYREGIST" Most sage demoiselle dat is en France. To see those borrow'd tears that Sinon sheds! Or how haps it I seek not to advance Loud music is too harsh for ladies' heads, Draws the sweet infant breath of gentle sleep; Tooth-ache: but a man that were to sleep your How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, You tread upon my patience: but be sure Rely upon it till my tale be heard, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word If he improve them, may well stretch so far Should so profane the word, that taught me craft That floated with thee on the fatal raft? MMMMCLX - "ERSANDTHEEIBOT" Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; And salt too little which may season give Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- The Jew shall have all justice; soft! no haste: He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Excited me to treason: their dear loss, It is not so with Him that all things knows Back, slave, or I will break thy pate across. O, whither shall we fly from this reproach? The boy gives warning something doth approach. MMMMCLXI - "HDEFYNOTWONDER" How came the noble Timon to this change? Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange For, meeting her of late behind the wood, Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins, Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, The curfew-bell hath rung, 'tis three o'clock: What he breathes out his breath drinks up again. Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep. Ne'er trust me then; for when a world of men Draws the sweet infant breath of gentle sleep; Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. MMMMCLXII - "INGATTHEPRESEN" I had forgot! 'Tis so concluded on. Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, Gentle thou art and therefore to be won, And flourish'd after, I'ld not do't; but since The ox hath therefore stretch'd his yoke in vain, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds He that flies so will ne'er return again. Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Philip of France, if thou be pleased withal, Rome shall record, and when I do forget Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Short tale to make, we at Saint Alban's met End in one purpose, and be all well borne Nothing so sure; and thereby all forsworn. MMMMCLXIII - "TNORTHEPASTFOR" That thinks with oaths to face the matter out. Nor none of thee, thou pale and common drudge O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! Rome and the righteous heavens be my judge, Till Henry, surfeiting in joys of love, He's bravely taken here. He stole from France, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Proclaim that I can sing, weave, sew, and dance, And make him proud to make me proud that jests! Success and conquest to attend on us. To give in evidence. What then? What rests? For man or master. Then it follows thus: O, twice my father, twice am I thy son! Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. MMMMCLXIV - "THYRECORDSANDW" The injuries that they themselves procure He robs himself that spends a bootless grief. You tread upon my patience: but be sure Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Crave harbourage within your city walls. O, on my soul, my cousin is belied! Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Did ever Dian so become a grove Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Anon, as patient as the female dove No: first shall war unpeople this my realm; Drag hence her husband to some secret hole, With so eternal and so fix'd a soul. MMMMCLXV - "HATWESEEDOTHLI" His regiment lies half a mile at least And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats That I will show you shining at this feast, With tokens thus, and thus; averting notes Excepting one, I would he were the best Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Do swarm upon him--from the western isles Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. Take you your instrument, play you the whiles! He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. Like to a tenement or pelting farm: If that be all, masters, I hear no harm. MMMMCLXVI - "EMADEMOREORLES" Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Moved with compassion of my country's wreck, As did that one; and that, in my regard, Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Met I my father with his bleeding rings, O sacred receptacle of my joys, Richer than that which four successive kings Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Or ere I'll weep. O fool, I shall go mad! Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Let him be ransom'd: never master had Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! MMMMCLXVII - "SBYTHYCONTINUA" Some wanton charm upon this man and maid, Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind, Younger than she are happy mothers made. Turn back and fly, like ships before the wind How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; Yea, at all points; and longs to enter in. Cause the musicians play me that sad note On what condition stands it and wherein? Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke Thou art arm'd, Gloucester. Let the trumpet sound. In the most terrible and nimble stroke Nor now I had not, but that I am bound Upon his bloody finger he doth wear And from his bosom purge this black despair! MMMMCLXVIII - "LHASTETHISIDOV" Laugh'd in his face; and when with grief he wept, Have in these parts from morn till even fought An offer, uncle, that we will accept: So from himself impiety hath wrought, The sorrow that delivers us thus changed Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there That is my home of love: if I have ranged, Her ashes new create another heir, In courtesy gives undeserving praise. Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: If it were yours by none of all these ways, Do we shake hands. All come to this? The hearts O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. MMMMCLXIX - "OWANDTHISSHALL" O, this is it that makes your servants droop! What cannot be preserved when fortune takes And at her heels a huge infectious troop No danger in what show of death it makes, Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? Say that some lady, as perhaps there is, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Had of your father claim'd this son for his? Ay, and we are betroth'd: nay, more, our, Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, Look, Marcus! ah, son Lucius, look on her! MMMMCLXX - "EVERBEIWILLBET" Each present lord began to promise aid, Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death. Behold another day break in the east: Each jealous of the other, as the stung I pray you, speak with me: you shall at least Would be your country's pleader, your good tongue, I put myself to thy direction, and Look on thy country, look on fertile France, Look'st thou pale, France? do not let go thy hand. Broach'd with the steely point of Clifford's lance; Else would he never so demean himself. That comes to hazard for my worthless self. MMMMCLXXI - "RUEDESPITETHYS" Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Upon his party: he, mistrusting them, Each jealous of the other, as the stung Done to me, undeserving as I am, Enow to press a royal merchant down Shame that they wanted cunning, in excess Part of your cares you give me with your crown. If that his Majesty would aught with us, To reason most absurd, whose common theme Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, This sudden sending him away must seem He entertain'd a show so seeming just, Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. So do you too, where you perceive them thick. MMMMCLXXII - "CYTHEANDTHEEIF" Could pick no meaning from their parling looks, Yet one word more: grief boundeth where it falls, Take you the lute, and you the set of books; He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. And though we lay these honours on this man, Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! Do no more offices of life to't than There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. How far a modern quill doth come too short, Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Except some petty towns of no import: I mean, my lords, those powers that the queen For shame, you generals! what do you mean? MMMMCLXXIII - "MYDEARLOVEWERE" Must sell her joy, her life, her world's delight. Your potent and infectious fevers heap Doth homage to his new-appearing sight, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Attested by the holy close of lips, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Each present lord began to promise aid, What watch the king keeps to maintain the peace, Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? MMMMCLXXIV - "BUTTHECHILDOFS" Both which, as servitors to the unjust, Upon whose leaves are drops of new-shed blood This body, like to them, to what I must; The purest spring is not so free from mud How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains, Else shall you not have any hand at all Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: Have they been merry! which their keepers call I am his first-born son, that was the last Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast: Or at the least this refuge let me find; For time hath set a blot upon my pride. So he were like him and by Venus' side. MMMMCLXXV - "TATEITMIGHTFOR" Then others for the breath of words respect, And yet a dispensation may be had. That Cupid will impose for my neglect Extremity of griefs would make men mad; In Caesar's name pronounce I 'gainst thee: look Therefore my mistress' brows are raven black, My father's purposes have been mistook; I have forgot why I did call thee back. Give me a staff of honour for mine age, How shall that faith return again to earth, This blur to youth, this sorrow to the sage, Fear'd by their breed and famous by their birth, O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. MMMMCLXXVI - "FORTUNESBASTAR" For God he knows, and you may partly see, Of Timon man and all humanity! Return again, and take an oath with thee. To stay him from the fall of vanity: Usurers' men! bawds between gold and want! Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast? Each cheek a river running from a fount Stand I before thee here. Then if thou hast But in despair die under their black weight. And of such great authority in France Shall I? content: this chair shall be my state, Thou canst not frown, thou canst not look askance, And start so often when thou sit'st alone? Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMMMCLXXVII - "DBEUNFATHERDAS" Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake, But, lords, we hear this fearful tempest sing, Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Unto the sovereign mercy of the king; No bitterness that I will bitter think, Fortune, good night; smile once more, turn thy wheel. Away the performance: therefore, much drink Thus, Brutus, did my master bid me kneel: He means, my lord, that we are too remiss; Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Descend unto the daughter. Gracious lord, And wet my cheeks with artificial tears, Sir, pardon; 'tis for Agamemnon's ears. MMMMCLXXVIII - "SUBJECTTOTIMES" So I were out of prison and kept sheep, Upon the next live creature that it sees. Before the always wind-obeying deep Judge when you hear. But, soft! what nymphs are these? Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Cries 'This is he,' could promise to himself That strumpet Fortune, that usurping John! That have beheld me give away myself Or so devote to Aristotle's checks That I will show you shining at this feast, Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? My hope is gone, now Suffolk is deceased. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: So is my love still telling what is told. MMMMCLXXIX - "LOVEORTOTIMESH" Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve Of all treasons, we still see them reveal Verona, for a while I take my leave, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Or aught intend'st to lay unto my charge, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, That yarely frame the office. From the barge O God, I fear thy justice will take hold To wag their high tops and to make no noise, I pray thee, bear my former answer back: My crack'd one to more care. Have with you, boys! Even like a man new haled from the rack, Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes How would it fare with your departed souls? MMMMCLXXX - "ATEWEEDSAMONGW" As 'twere retail'd to all posterity, That I were couching with the doctor's clerk. Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Where folly now possesses? Do thou work: Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Dishonour not your mothers; now attest So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Ah! thus King Henry throws away his crutch My love and her desert; that canst not dream, O Buckingham, now do I play the touch, Nor should thy prowess want praise and esteem, Give me mine own again; 'twere no good part With gobbets of thy mother's bleeding heart. MMMMCLXXXI - "EEDSORFLOWERSW" Else would he never so demean himself. Establish him in his true sense again, Do shameful execution on herself. Say they be fled; Germans are honest men. O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, Repent what's past; avoid what is to come; Forced to retire by fury of the wind: Lock up my doors; and when you hear the drum Or if thou hast not sat as I do now, Walk under his huge legs and peep about Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough What is the body when the head is off? MMMMCLXXXII - "ITHFLOWERSGATH" Into the purse of rich prosperity The very bottom and the soul of hope, Have done! for shame, if not for charity. From this my hand, as holding of the pope Leap in with me into this angry flood, Only shape thou thy silence to my wit. Weeping as fast as they stream forth thy blood, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Respecting her that's gone. Besides, the gods Should have shook lions into civil streets, God's arm strike with us! 'tis a fearful odds. And, hark, what discord follows! each thing meets To make confession and to be absolved. How he received you, let me be resolved. MMMMCLXXXIII - "ERDNOITWASBUIL" Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Descend to darkness and the burning lake! Niece. O brave Hector! Look how he looks! there's Of the all-building law; and that there were If you suppose as fearing you it shook. To think, when thou shalt be disedged by her What dogs are these? Where is the rascal cook? And, knowing whom it was their hap to save, Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, But I'll unto his majesty, and crave Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; Is there no voice more worthy than my own Laughest thou, wretch? thy mirth shall turn to moan. MMMMCLXXXIV - "DEDFARFROMACCI" Duke of Alencon, this was your default, End in one purpose, and be all well borne Discredit more in hiding of the fault For in my death I murder shameful scorn: And I, the hapless male to one sweet bird, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. From this time forth I never will speak word. Refuse me, hate me, torture me to death! Over your threshold: moneys is your suit My gracious lord, here is the bag of gold. And thereupon thou speak'st the fairest shoot. Constrain'd to watch in darkness, rain and cold. Corrupting in its own fertility. I thank my God for my humility. MMMMCLXXXV - "DENTITSUFFERSN" Doth homage to his new-appearing sight, Either they must be dieted like mules No way to fly, nor strength to hold out flight: Too headstrong for their mother. See, we fools! I prophesied France will be lost ere long. That feed'st me with the very name of meat. Speak to great Caesar as he comes along. Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. For, to yourself, what you do know, you must. For I would commune with you of such things Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Richer than that which four successive kings Since Rome herself in them doth stand disgraced, Now do you know the reason of this haste. MMMMCLXXXVI - "OTINSMILINGPOM" Offers, as I do, in a sign of peace, The pride of kingly sway from out my heart; In Troy, there lies the scene.

Look, where his master comes; I slew him not; but to my own disgrace Like Amazons come tripping after drums, If there be nothing new, but that which is Nothing is good, I see, without respect: God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Purpose to answer what thou canst object. O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, Make an extent upon his house and lands. MMMMCLXXXVII - "PNORFALLSUNDER" Praised,--to the court I'll knock her back, foot No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Off with that bauble, throw it underfoot. Richer than that which four successive kings For nothing canst thou to damnation add And their gross painting might be better used Let him be ransom'd: never master had Let them not cease, but with a din confused Shall not be sent: my hand will serve the turn: Under that bond that him as fast doth bind. Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn Dumb jewels often in their silent kind Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MMMMCLXXXVIII - "THEBLOWOFTHRAL" The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds He goes before me and still dares me on: Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, But I shall lose the grounds I work upon. Like Amazons come tripping after drums, Of what you should forget. Now, good my liege When we do quicken. Desdemona comes: Ordained is to raise this tedious siege For exile hath more terror in his look, The state and inclination of the day: He was the mark and glass, copy and book, Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway, And all good men of this ungovern'd isle. Love, lend me patience to forbear awhile. MMMMCLXXXIX - "LEDDISCONTENTW" Labouring men; and therefore should we be Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee. Do not yourself such wrong, who are in this I follow'd that I blush to look upon: Should be shut up, hear what Ulysses speaks. Could best express how slow his soul sail'd on, O, tell me when my lips do touch his cheeks, Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. To give mine enemy a lasting wink; Ever to conquer, and to have his worth No bitterness that I will bitter think, To draw conditions of a friendly peace; We are the Jasons, we have won the fleece. MMMMCXC - "HERETOTHEINVIT" Here's Mistress Quickly, sir, to speak with you. Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought That floated with thee on the fatal raft? Of all that virtue love for virtue loved: The bow is bent and drawn; make from the shaft. How happily he lives, how well beloved Else shall you not have any hand at all I would not be sir Nob in any case. No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call; Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Is this the man? Is't you, sir, that know things? That then I scorn to change my state with kings. MMMMCXCI - "INGTIMEOURFASH" I dare your quenchless fury to more rage: Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds: Give me a staff of honour for mine age, There roar'd the sea, and trumpet-clangor sounds. I do not much dislike the matter, but March patiently along: let one be sent Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Or thy affection cannot hold the bent; Unto a view so false will not incline; Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: Forsooth, a blind man at Saint Alban's shrine, As they were living; think you see them great, Study to break it and not break my troth. How much in duty I am bound to both. MMMMCXCII - "IONCALLSITFEAR" It faded on the crowing of the cock. Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Confounded be thyself! Speak not, be gone.

Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! MMMMCXCIII - "SNOTPOLICYTHAT" Some, that are mad if they behold a cat; Next month? and are they not some of them set Of any thing the image tell me that The barren tender of a poet's debt; Plain and not honest is too harsh a style.

I thank thee for it; and heaven forbid Come hither, boy; come, come, and learn of us Here is your hand and seal for what I did. With thy chaste eye, from thy pale sphere above, O, they love least that let men know their love.

Except a sword or sceptre balance it: As thoughts do blow them, higher and higher. So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: For lovers ever run before the clock.

Do you confess so much? Give me your hand. His crest that prouder than blue Iris bends. O rash false heat, wrapp'd in repentant cold, Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. MMMMCXCVII - "RSBUTALLALONES" Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room Be any further moved. What you have said Unto the base bed of some rascal groom, Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. And for your rapier most especially, Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Labour and effect one thing specially. And France, whose armour conscience buckled on, Like trees bedash'd with rain: in that sad time Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, Saint George and victory! fight, soldiers, fight. MMMMCXCVIII - "TANDSHUGELYPOL" To whom this wreath of victory I give, And suddenly; where injury of chance No praise to thee but what in thee doth live.

It is very meet Of thine affairs, as well as thou of mine? Let Henry fret and all the world repine. MMMMCXCIX - "ITICTHATITNORG" I think would better please 'em: by my life, There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. I shall have none but Mordake Earl of Fife. Correction and instruction must both work The cause were known to them it most concerns; Her pretty action did outsell her gift, And thanks; and ever thanks; and oft good turns To cross my friend in his intended drift I'll change my black gown for a faithful friend. That they lost France and made his England bleed: Nor shall not, if I do as I intend. Out of his rags! Here's a large mouth, indeed, Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. MMMMCC - "ROWSWITHHEATNO" Revives two greater in the heirs of life; Out of my lean and low ability Why, how now, sons and brother! at a strife? Sweet cell of virtue and nobility, Were it not sinful then, striving to mend, I will not speak with him. Say I am sick. This squash, this gentleman. Mine honest friend, How dearly would it touch me to the quick, He, he, and you, and you, my liege, and I, Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Another thing to fall.

Why ask I that? my mangled body shows, Is jollity for apes and grief for boys.

MMMMCCII - "WERSTOTHISIWIT" Within this mile break forth a hundred springs; Environed with a wilderness of sea, Richer than that which four successive kings Speak not, reply not, do not answer me; There's five to one; besides, they all are fresh. On his head, bearing a long white wand, as That scolds against the quality of flesh, He needs as many, sir, as Caesar has; If that the earth could teem with woman's tears, So thrive I in my dangerous attempt I know, is such a wrest in their affairs Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, If I lose them, thus find I by their loss To him that bears the strong offence's cross. MMMMCCIII - "NESSCALLTHEFOO" Now, by the ground that I am banish'd from, Else shall you not have any hand at all See, they forsake me! Now the time is come See how the surly Warwick mans the wall!

But on this day let seamen fear no wreck; O no! it is an ever-fixed mark Rivers and Hastings, take each other's hand; Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Thou, Master Brook, shalt know him for knave and His insolence draws folly from my lips; Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Commends me to the thing I cannot get. MMMMCCIX - "ANOPYWITHMYEXT" Approach, thou beacon to this under globe, Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their course O, well did he become that lion's robe Presented to the tears of soft remorse. Your highness shall do well to grant her suit; When Pistol lies, do this; and fig me, like I'll stay above the hill, so both may shoot.

MMMMCCXII - "GREATBASESFORE" Good day, my lord. What, at your book so hard? Refused most princely gifts, am bound to beg Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard And therefore think him as a serpent's egg Those of your fact are so--so past all truth: But honest fear, bewitch'd with lust's foul charm, And in the morn and liquid dew of youth She loves thee, boy, too well to do thee harm. Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, Find shapes of grief, more than himself, to wail; Of Alcibiades the approaches wild, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath.

Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Sigh'd truer breath; but that I see thee here, Hearing so much, will speed her foot again, Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Receive each other. God speak this Amen! Throng her inventions, which shall go before. Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us. Hath he deserved to lose his birthright thus? MMMMCCXV - "ANWASTEORRUINI" A maid of Dian's this advantage found, No: know the gallant monarch is in arms Where that and other specialties are bound: As if the boy should use like loving charms; Smiles at her news, while Warwick frowns at his.

Britain is Of both is flatter'd; but he neither loves, Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Reprove my allegation, if you can; Unto a dismal and a fatal end: I conjure thee, by all the parts of man Now useless, boil'd within thy skull!

Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Nor shall not, if I do as I intend. MMMMCCXVII - "DWELLERSONFORM" Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Was falsely borne in hand, sends out arrests Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, Entreated me to call and know her mind: Rich preys make true men thieves; so do thy lips So that, dear lords, if I be left behind, On terms of base compulsion! Can it be Now, say, Chatillon, what would France with us? From his ambitious finger. What had he Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, My guilt be on my head, and there an end. MMMMCCXVIII - "ANDFAVOURLOSEA" Approved warriors, and my faithful friends, Now my old arms are young John Talbot's grave. Do, chapels had been churches and poor men's For such things in a false disloyal knave And, by despairing, shouldst thou stand excused; Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. O, that a lady, of one man refused. Under the lordly monarch of the north, Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause, On yon young boy: I'll tell thee what, my friend, Such as she says my lord did say I was. Extremity still urgeth such extremes. And banish hence these abject lowly dreams. MMMMCCXIX - "LLANDMOREBYPAY" Let us be beaten, if we cannot fight. Lay with you in your coffer: which are now Antick'd us all. What needs more words? Good night. Now, by my sceptre's awe, I make a vow, Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, Madam, his majesty doth call for you, Of forfeiture, of justice and his bond. Return of love, more blest may be the view; Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. But when they would seem soldiers, they have galls, Your grace is welcome to a man disgraced, Peace and prosperity! Who is't that calls And leave this idle theme, this bootless chat: Your plaintain-leaf is excellent for that. MMMMCCXX - "INGTOOMUCHRENT" I'll turn my part thereof into thy throat. Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn Give the dozen white luces in their coat. To grubs and eyeless skulls? as I discern, O' the toe like a parish-top. What, wench! Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, Made former wonders its. To-day the French, Upon his party for the gain thereof: Come, come, beshrew your heart! you'll ne'er be good, He does fair justice; if he give me way, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat That oft they interchange each other's seat. MMMMCCXXI - "FORCOMPOUNDSWE" For the base matter to illuminate Of purpose to obscure my noble birth. Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, Coldly embracing the discolour'd earth; O, him she stores, to show what wealth she had My lords ambassadors, your several suits Preach some philosophy to make me mad, Over the boots? nay, give me not the boots. Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, Dyed in the dying slaughter of their foes: Such as my heart doth tremble to unfold. When I bestrid thee in the wars and took Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMMMCCXXII - "ETFORGOINGSIMP" Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck, From my remembrance clearly banish'd his. Of as great size. Ween you of better luck, Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, Girding with grievous siege castles and towns; O, what authority and show of truth If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, Now was she just before him as he sat, Give me a staff of honour for mine age, Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that. If I unwittingly, or in my rage, Mine, full of sorrow and heart's discontent. Post hither, this vile purpose to prevent? MMMMCCXXIII - "LESAVOURPITIFU" Live, like Diana's priest, betwixt cold sheets, Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Should have shook lions into civil streets, And am so near the lack of charity-- Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. O Ratcliff, I have dream'd a fearful dream! Under the lordly monarch of the north, Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Proud scornful boy, unworthy this good gift; I will converse with iron-witted fools To cross my friend in his intended drift I am no breeching scholar in the schools, For you in me can nothing worthy prove; Unless good counsel may the cause remove. MMMMCCXXIV - "LTHRIVERSINTHE" Lies heavy on me; O, my heart is sick! That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud How have I been behaved, that he might stick Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, If but for fear of this, thy will remove; Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Effect it with some care, that he may prove Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, I do beseech you, madam, be content. Now, if you have a station in the file, These eyes, like lamps whose wasting oil is spent, How I may bear me here: my prime request, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMMMCCXXV - "IRGAZINGSPENTN" If ever from your eyelids wip'd a tear, Raise up the Montagues: some others search: Good night, good rest. Ah, neither be my share: And have with holy bell been knoll'd to church, Zounds, where thou wilt, lad; I'll make one; an I If there be one among the fair'st of Greece No shape but his can please your dainty eye. Gone to be married! gone to swear a peace! Shall profit thee and much enrich thy book. Peering in maps for ports and piers and roads; Else you may be marvellously mistook. Nay, in all confidence, he's not for Rhodes. Telling the bushes that thou look'st for wars, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. MMMMCCXXVI - "OLETMEBEOBSEQU" O, let me stay, befall what may befall! Lest rest and lying still might make them look Else shall you not have any hand at all Then he disdains to shine; for by the book Making my arms his field, his tent my bed. Ere I could make thee open thy white hand By thy bright beauty was it newly bred. Every man shift for all the rest, and Or I could make a prologue to my brains, By such poor passion as the maid that milks Scratch thee but with a pin, and there remains Enrobe the roaring waters with my silks, Quite vanquish'd him: then burst his mighty heart; Unmannerly intruder as thou art! MMMMCCXXVII - "IOUSINTHYHEART" I'll do't before I speak- that you make known Of all the voices that we have procured Upon my daughter's head! Tell me, mine own. She's such a one, that, were I well assured It he is to sojourn with you? How creeps No; God forbid your grace should be forsworn. Though woe be heavy, yet it seldom sleeps, His nurse! why, she was dead ere thou wert born. Yet I do find it so; for to be plain, He cried almost to roaring; and he wept Establish him in his true sense again, And suck'd the honey which thy chaste bee kept. Remove your siege from my unyielding heart; That put Armado's page out of his part! MMMMCCXXVIII - "ANDTAKETHOUMYO" Account?--Yet who would have thought the old man Not I, my lord; sith true nobility Do no more offices of life to't than That, from the sense of all civility, And that be heir to his unhappiness! Kind keepers of my weak decaying age, Each day still better other's happiness; This blur to youth, this sorrow to the sage, How it goes with us, and do look to know Or to be naked with her friend in bed Up to the rowel-head; and starting so, My drown'd queen's name, as in the rest you said Your mother's hand shall right your mother's wrong. O for your reason! quickly, sir; I long. MMMMCCXXIX - "BLATIONPOORBUT" Bids't thou me rage? why, now thou hast thy wish: Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve And of a dragon and a finless fish, That the fixed sentinels almost receive If I would time expend with such a snipe. O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Now crack thy lungs, and split thy brazen pipe: Put not your worthy rage into your tongue; Of those that claim their offices this day Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Rail on the Lord's enointed: strike, I say! But his occasion might have woo'd me first; Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; To critic and to flatterer stopped are. MMMMCCXXX - "FREEWHICHISNOT" Fair ladies mask'd are roses in their bud; Relieved him with such sanctity of love, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Which ever in the haunch of winter sings Here will I stand till Caesar pass along, Is this the man? Is't you, sir, that know things? Come, lords, we trifle time away; I long Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere I thank him, that he cuts me from my tale, Should 'scape the true acquaintance of mine ear. No vast obscurity or misty vale, O, that a lady, of one man refused. The noble duke hath been too much abused. MMMMCCXXXI - "MIXDWITHSECOND" Misprising what they look on, and her wit I rather of his absence make this use: eXcept a sword or sceptre balance it: Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, Well, your imprisonment shall not be long; I vow'd, base knight, when I did meet thee next, This honourable bounty shall belong: How ill-beseeming is it in thy sex Stand where the torch may not discover us. Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Come, son, away; we may not linger thus. Or my shamed life in his dishonour lies: Now, by this hand, I gave it to a youth, Deep in the thigh, a spectacle of ruth! MMMMCCXXXII - "SKNOWSNOARTBUT" Stain'd with the variation of each soil Know you how much the people may be moved No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil; O, 'tis the curse in love, and still approved, Well, sir, I will; therefore, I will, sir; thus: Shall I so much dishonour my fair stars, Now, fair one, does your business follow us? Of Hymen's purest bed! thou valiant Mars! And that's the mark I know you level at: Robbing no old to dress his beauty new; Though sometimes you do blench from this to that, But what a fool am I to chat with you, Unless my hand and strength could equal them. That's he that was Othello: here I am. MMMMCCXXXIII - "MUTUALRENDERON" Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves Under a cloak that is of any length. There's matter in these sighs. These profound heaves Upon thy stars, thy fortune and thy strength, Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. England ne'er had a king until his time. Nor by what wonder you do hit of mine,-- Dry up thy marrows, vines, and plough-torn leas; Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Rome could afford no tribune like to these. Or if there were, it not belongs to you. Not seeing what is likely to ensue. MMMMCCXXXIV - "LYMEFORTHEEHEN" Look into these affairs see this main end, Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. Most worthy gentleman, I and my friend Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: For long agone I have forgot to court; Of our restored love and amity. Rising and cawing at the gun's report, To bear the tidings of calamity. His rudeness so with his authorized youth Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Even so void is your false heart of truth. Had I but served my God with half the zeal Exposing what is mortal and unsure None in the world: you did mistake him, sure. MMMMCCXXXV - "CETHOUSUBORNDI" Come in, come in: I'll go get a fire. Ere such another Julius. Britain is That to his borrow'd bed he make retire, Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, Unto a dunghill which shall be thy grave, Should many people, under two commands, Upon my party! Thou cold-blooded slave, But to himself so secret and so close, O unbid spite! is sportful Edward come? Retain that dear perfection which he owes Nay, follow'd him, till he had melted from During whose reign the Percies of the north, I did not, gentle husband, lock thee forth. MMMMCCXXXVI - "NFORMERATRUESO" Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says For he hath still been tried a holy man. Of these thy compounds on such creatures as Reprove my allegation, if you can; My lord, that, may be, hath endured a grief Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Robs the vast sea: the moon's an arrant thief, And so there is: but yet the king hath drawn To any shape of thy preferment such Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Unless I flatter with myself too much. Even like a man new haled from the rack, Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp O, welcome, Oxford! for we want thy help. MMMMCCXXXVII - "ULWHENMOSTIMPE" Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. With all the gracious utterance thou hast High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. No more than I am well acquitted of. Matchless Navarre; the plea of no less weight O, they love least that let men know their love. Some good man bear him carefully from hence; That I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts, In your denial I would find no sense; My train are men of choice and rarest parts, Pursue him and entreat him to a peace: Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MMMMCCXXXVIII - "ACHDSTANDSLEAS" Abuses me to damn me. I'll have grounds Come, let's make haste; she'll soon be back again. Huntsman, I charge thee, tender well my hounds; Depart again: here, here will I remain So full of artless jealousy is guilt Thus hoping that Adonis is alive, And give to dust that is a little gilt No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. Do tell her she is dreadfully beset, So is it not with me as with that Muse Lest I, by marking of your rage, forget Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. A lullaby too rough: I never saw Soft; by and by. Let me the curtains draw. MMMMCCXXXIX - "TINTHYCONTROLO" To add a more rejoicing to the prime, If you deny me, fie upon your law! Nor moody beggars, starving for a time Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, His grandam's wrongs, and not his mother's shames, You use in abject and in slavish parts, Can sick men play so nicely with their names? O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts; Never presented!--O, a root,--dear thanks!-- Thou say'st his sports were hinderd by thy brawls: Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, Of this hard world, my ragged prison walls, Long may he live in fortunes! Shall we in? On what condition stands it and wherein? MMMMCCXL - "THOUMYLOVELYBO" The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, His tears proclaim'd his, parting with her: thence, On his head, bearing a long white wand, as Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; My gracious uncle, let me know my fault: Yet, ere thou go, but answer me one doubt, Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? Or lose mine arm fort: thou hast beat me out Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Excepting one, I would he were the best Long die thy happy days before thy death; Yea, Richard, when I know; for I protest Be thou so too; and so break off your talk, O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. MMMMCCXLI - "YWHOINTHYPOWER" Yea, but a little charge will trench him here Whose names are written there, and to them say, Having no fair to lose, you need not fear; Or gluttoning on all, or all away. Is not the Lady Constance in this troop? Nor none so bad, but it may well be told. That the probation bear no hinge nor loop Hume must make merry with the duchess' gold; Your highness shall do well to grant her suit; Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws, Oft have I heard his praises in pursuit, We have strict statutes and most biting laws. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. MMMMCCXLII - "DOSTHOLDTIMESF" Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! Should have shook lions into civil streets, Their wills: fill thy purse with money:--the food Horns, Master Brook: and, Master Brook, he hath O you most potent gods! what's here? a corse! Let my presumption not provoke thy wrath; Denied me to come in) return, and force To do brave acts. He was indeed the glass I like this well; he will return again. Methought I was enamour'd of an ass. Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Save when command to your dismission tends, Farewell, good cousin; farewell, gentle friends. MMMMCCXLIII - "ICKLEGLASSHISS" If this be error and upon me proved, Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, Know you how much the people may be moved Lorenzo, certain, and my love indeed, Empale him with your weapons round about; Give me some music. Now, good morrow, friends. Look, sirs, if you can find the huntsman out And make the hearts of Romans serve your ends! Swear in both the scales against either scale; So then the Volsces stand but as at first, Had not their bark been very slow of sail; If thou stand excommunicate and cursed? She hearkens for his hounds and for his horn: Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. MMMMCCXLIV - "ICKLEHOURWHOHA" I do embrace your offer; and dispose Cupid all arm'd: a certain aim he took Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. Lest rest and lying still might make them look England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, Upon the beauty of all parts besides, Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. Which, in pale embers hid, lurks to aspire How now, good Blunt? thy looks are full of speed. Only, good master, while we do admire He never would have stay'd in France so long. And they, 'twas they, that did her all this wrong. MMMMCCXLV - "STBYWANINGGROW" Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Tell me her father's name, and 'tis enough; But I will rule both her, the king and realm. You'll mar the light by taking it in snuff; When black-faced Clifford shook his sword at him; As the death-bed whereon it must expire Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. I here confess myself the king of Tyre; No, let me speak; and let me rail so high, Grandam, I will not wish thy fortunes thrive: Graze on my lips; and if those hills be dry, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Or by what means got'st thou to be released? With all my heart, I'll gossip at this feast. MMMMCCXLVI - "NANDTHEREINSHO" Nothing but males. Will it not be received, And in regard of causes now in hand, Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived, Disguise the holy strength of their command, That this my mother's son was none of his; Hark how I'll bribe you: good my lord, turn back. Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Either be patient, and entreat me fair, It pleased your majesty to turn your looks Not used to toil, did almost sweat to bear She touch'd no unknown baits, nor fear'd no hooks; Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. MMMMCCXLVII - "WSTTHYLOVERSWI" Which out of daily fortune ever taints So I would you did; then 'twere past all doubt Together with the pitiful complaints The rest will ne'er come in, if he be out Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, Yourself shall give us counsel. Feed, and sleep: Like Amazons come tripping after drums, Oh, who shall hinder me to wail and weep, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Send for the county; go tell him of this: What villain touch'd his body, that did stab, It is my fashion, when I see a crab. MMMMCCXLVIII - "THERINGASTHYSW" The sacred honour of himself, his queen's, Had so much grace to put it in my mind. Ere further leisure yield them further means Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. I'll make you quiet. What, cheerly, my hearts! Not to see ladies, study, fast, not sleep! Go, fellow, get thee home, provide some carts And at that sight shall sad Apollo weep, Such hazard now must doting Tarquin make, The hollow passage of my poison'd voice, Had been a little ratsbane for thy sake! Youngling, learn thou to make some meaner choice: So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench Which, being suffer'd, rivers cannot quench. MMMMCCXLIX - "EETSELFGROWSTI" Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, The pretty follies that themselves commit; So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! Either to get the town again or die: Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, For thy records and what we see doth lie, God and King Henry govern England's realm. Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad, What would your grace have done unto him now? She says enough; yet she's a simple bawd That, if it chance the one of us do fail, I do obey thee till I give thee bail. MMMMCCL - "FNATURESOVEREI" For this they have been thoughtful to invest Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Am bold to show myself a forward guest The hateful commons will perform for us, Under these windows, white and azure laced Remaining in the coffer of her friends, Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Save when command to your dismission tends, On Tuesday noon, or night; on Wednesday morn: Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, Edward will always bear himself as king: I'll die for't but some woman had the ring. MMMMCCLI - "GNMISTRESSOVER" Good parts did you first suffer love for me? Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? Marvel how the fishes live in the sea. I feel too much thy blessing: make it less, She that is queen of Tunis; she that dwells That calls upon us, by the grace of Grace, Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Shall chide your trespass and return your mock Spoke like a tail fellow that respects his Our scions, put in wild and savage stock, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Even in the presence of the crowned king. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. MMMMCCLII - "WRACKASTHOUGOE" Will vouch the truth of it. Him I accuse Rome shall record, and when I do forget And woes by wrong imaginations lose Commends me to the thing I cannot get. Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out: And must be made a subject to a duke? So I would you did; then 'twere past all doubt Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Her help she sees, but help she cannot get; Of these thy compounds on such creatures as Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit, God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Of this deep pit, poor Bassianus' grave. Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! MMMMCCLIII - "STONWARDSSTILL" Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes That what we have we prize not to the worth Only reserved their factor, to buy souls Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth Was never subject long'd to be a king And for his safety there I'll best devise. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Say, Somerville, what says my loving son? That can assure my daughter greatest dower If once it be neglected, ten to one Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet. MMMMCCLIV - "WILLPLUCKTHEEB" Who told me, in the narrow seas that part Inferring arguments of mighty force. Like all mankind, show me an iron heart? Let me persuade you take a better course. Promises boys hereafter. Sir, your queen Leaving thy trunk for crows to feed upon. Under your good correction, I have seen, Caesar and Antony have ever won Keep still possession of thy gloomy place, The stars, I see, will kiss the valleys first: He falls to such perusal of my face Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. But by reflection, by some other things. MMMMCCLV - "ACKSHEKEEPSTHE" As shaming any eye should thee behold, Call in the letters patent that he hath Know'st thou not any whom corrupting gold Sorrow were ever razed and testy wrath Here is a man--but 'tis before his face; Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Keep still possession of thy gloomy place, Envy the great nor do the low despise. Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Persever not, but hear me, mighty kings. Sell bullocks. But did you think the prince would That from the seedness the bare fallow brings How often have I tempted Suffolk's tongue, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMMMCCLVI - "ETOTHISPURPOSE" Either they must be dieted like mules Therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn'st away. Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. That by thy comfortable beams I may Hence ever then my heart is in thy breast. I'll stay above the hill, so both may shoot. Save bidding farewell to so sweet a guest Pay recompense, if you will grant my suit. Under your good correction, I have seen, Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Promises boys hereafter. Sir, your queen O heavy times, begetting such events! Speak out thy sorrows which thou bring'st in haste, Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. MMMMCCLVII - "THATHERSKILLMA" That you and I should meet upon such terms Hear a foot fall: we now are near his cell. And what we do establish he confirms: Thy spirits all of comfort! fare thee well. Helen of Greece was fairer far than thou, Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! So much complexion? Look ye, how they change! Knocks go and come; God's vassals drop and die; I am too mean a subject for thy wrath: Laden with gold; take that, divide it; fly, Look, here's a letter from him: the state hath Myself am struck in years, I must confess; And now, dear maid, be you as free to us. MMMMCCLVIII - "YTIMEDISGRACEA" You have not dared to break the holy seal That this his love was an eternal plant, I dare and must deny it. Now I feel Marry, before your ladyship, I grant, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. Did all the chivalry of England move Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Since my appeal says I did strive to prove Gods, gods! 'tis strange that from their cold'st neglect Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. A thousand times, and now no more reflect; Came more and more and fought on part and part, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, And do not shear the fleeces that I graze. MMMMCCLIX - "NDWRETCHEDMINU" Now God in heaven bless thee! Hark you, sir. Decrease not, but grow faster than the years: Why, it stood by her: she has light by her Ram thou thy fruitful tidings in mine ears, Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. The muzzle of restraint, and the wild dog Come, sir; come, sir; come, sir; foh, sir! Why, you Having first seized his books, or with a log Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Did not thy hue bewray whose brat thou art, My lords of England, let me tell you this: I have full cause of weeping, but this heart Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Unless by robbing of your friends and us. MMMMCCLX - "TESKILLYETFEAR" That will with two pernicious daughters join Expect him here: when he shall come and find Sheathed unaware the tusk in his soft groin. Kill'd her, for whom my tears have made me blind. If his chief good and market of his time Like powder in a skitless soldier's flask, Lest you be cropp'd before you come to prime. You have a double tongue within your mask, Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, That you affect; and so must you resolve, From whence that tender spray did sweetly spring, Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve And fought so long, till that his thighs with darts Rather than rob me of the people's hearts! MMMMCCLXI - "HEROTHOUMINION" Has cluck'd thee to the wars and safely home, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Of monstrous lust the due and just reward: To stranger blood, to foreign royalty. How are we park'd and bounded in a pale, O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? Under that colour am I come to scale My part is youth, and beats these from the stage: It needs not, nor it boots thee not, proud queen, Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. I mean the Earl of Wiltshire, Bushy, Green. Orlando doth commend him to you both; Now in his life, against your holy oath? MMMMCCLXII - "OFHERPLEASURES" Of their afflictions, and shall not myself, Fie, uncle Beaufort! I have heard you preach How have you made division of yourself? Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Resides not in that man that does not think,-- Perchance you think too much of so much pains? Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! Endue you with the people's voice: remains Am starv'd for meat, giddy for lack of sleep; Speak, captain, shall I stab the forlorn swain? Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Still betters what is done. When you speak, sweet. MMMMCCLXIII - "HEMAYDETAINBUT" Honour'd, belov'd, and haply one as kind Ere you can take due orders for a priest: My Lord of Winchester, I know your mind; And flaky darkness breaks within the east. You have the honey still, but these the gall; Drummer, strike up, and let us march away. Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Troilus, I would not have you fight to-day. As if the boy should use like loving charms; If thou, that bid'st me be content, wert grim, No: know the gallant monarch is in arms Begin your suits anew, and sue to him. Upon the dancing banners of the French, This is the way to kindle, not to quench. MMMMCCLXIV - "NOTSTILLKEEPHE" Never did passenger in summer's heat On either side I come to spend my breath; Thou Icarus; thy life to me is sweet: Shall it not grieve thee dearer than thy death, That with the hurly death itself awakes? It would not out at windows nor at doors. Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Look that you love your wife; her worth worth yours. Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Early and late, debating to and fro Pales in the flood with men, with wives and boys, How might a prince of my great hopes forget Edward for Edward pays a dying debt.

Let me the curtains draw. MMMMCCLXXV - "BLACKBEAUTYSSU" Be you my time to bring it to some shape. Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, And treats of Tereus' treason and his rape: Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.

Under your good correction, I have seen, Treasons, makes me betake me to my heels. Your bondage happy, to be made a queen?

And quench his fiery indignation Under love's heavy burden do I sink. That her wide walls encompass'd but one man? You do unbend your noble strength, to think Strike sooner than speak, and speak sooner than Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste.

And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, May be the lady: thou shalt know the man Early and late, debating to and fro For when no friends are by, men praise themselves. One turf shall serve as pillow for us both; Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Study to break it and not break my troth. If you suppose as fearing you it shook.

MMMMCCLXXX - "CHHANDHATHPUTO" Compassion on the king commands me stoop; Her mother, ever strong against that match Having full scarce six thousand in his troop. And you, Prince Dauphin, with all swift dispatch, Now sways it this way, like a mighty sea Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? Half stewed in grease, like a Dutch dish, to be And told thee to what purpose and what end. The fishes spread on it their golden gills; Had twenty years been made. This is a stem Poor pelting villages, sheepcotes, and mills, Upon his party: he, mistrusting them, That my discovery be not aimed at; On what compulsion must I? tell me that. MMMMCCLXXXI - "NNATURESPOWERF" No? Saw you not, even now, a blessed troop Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk: And tamed the king, and made the dauphin stoop; There Minotaurs and ugly treasons lurk. Until my mis-shaped trunk that bears this head Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? So will I turn her virtue into pitch, Patience, dear niece. Good Titus, dry thine eyes. O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: When cowardice pursues and valour flies.

MMMMCCLXXXII - "AIRINGTHEFOULW" After a well-graced actor leaves the stage, It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! I have retired me to a wasteful cock, Now will I dam up this thy yawning mouth Good gentlemen, he hath much talk'd of you, Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, For none offend where all alike do dote. Of many in the army: many years, Unbuckling helms, fisting each other's throat, Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Where you may abide till your date expire. MMMMCCLXXXIII - "ITHARTSFALSEBO" I will not hence and leave my husband here: The skilful shepherd peel'd me certain wands, He'll drop his heart into the sink of fear And will again commit them to their bonds, Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! That for thy right myself will bear all wrong. Save a proud rider on so proud a back. From thence to England; where I hope ere long As offer'd mercy is. What was the last Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, Ere such another Julius. Britain is By all the battles wherein we have fought, O monstrous fault, to harbour such a thought! MMMMCCLXXXIV - "RROWDFACESWEET" Remember whom you are to cope withal; Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Or by the father there were none at all; Was there none else in Rome to make a stale, Do the part of an honest man in it. For that which now torments me to rehearse: A man already made, as to remit Could say she were worse: think you of a worse English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. While we pursued the horsemen of the north, Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Except some petty towns of no import: Then is all safe, the anchor's in the port. MMMMCCLXXXV - "BEAUTYHATHNONA" Before I be convict by course of law, Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, And, to begin, wench,--so God help me, la!-- Unto the climate that they point upon. Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Your better wisdoms, which have freely gone His resemblance, being not like the duke; And in my vantbrace put this wither'd brawn, Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests His sword did ne'er leave striking in the field. Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, No vast obscurity or misty vale, And here comes Clifford to deny their bail. MMMMCCLXXXVI - "MENOHOLYBOWERB" My Lord of Gloucester, I have too long borne Except some petty towns of no import: Nothing so sure; and thereby all forsworn. Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort, He had, my lord: and when he ran in here, Of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales; Lie there for pavement to the abject rear, Your breath of full consent bellied his sails; But soft, but see, or rather do not see, O, handle not the theme, to talk of hands, Woe, woe for England! not a whit for me; England, impatient of your just demands, Revenue, execution of the rest, By yea and nay, sir, then I swore in jest. MMMMCCLXXXVII - "UTISPROFANEDIF" Upon the maiden virtue of the crown. The extreme parts of time extremely forms I never saw a better fashion'd gown, Such as seafaring men provide for storms; Prepare for mirth, for mirth becomes a feast: Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Or by what means got'st thou to be released? From the dread summit of this chalky bourn. And art confederate with a damned pack No, not to lose it all, as thou hast done: Even like a man new haled from the rack, Daughter to Charlemain, who was the son It doth contain a king; King Richard lies Find written in the margent of his eyes. MMMMCCLXXXVIII - "NOTLIVESINDISG" Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, O, let my sovereign turn away his face There be moe wasps that buzz about his nose Let fools do good, and fair men call for grace. I should not make so dear a show of zeal: Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: She made good view of me; indeed, so much, I'll run from thee and hide me in the brakes, Nor tempt the danger of my true defence; Doth by the idle comments that it makes I pray you, give me leave to go from hence; Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy. Good angels guard thee from the boar's annoy! MMMMCCLXXXIX - "RACETHEREFOREM" Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, Change slander to remorse; that is some good: Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Think that you are upon a rock; and now Have you not made an universal shout, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Each man apart, all single and alone, Forgive him, Angelo, that brought you home Once more we sit in England's royal throne, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. My Icarus, my blossom, in his pride. MMMMCCXC - "YMISTRESSBROWS" You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre, Madam, an if my brother had my shape, If thou art dun, we'll draw thee from the mire Show me a villain that hath done a rape, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Sleeping or waking must I still prevail, Should not be able to encounter mine. By the simplicity of Venus' doves, Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Of both is flatter'd; but he neither loves, Why, these are very crotchets that he speaks; Such war of white and red within her cheeks! MMMMCCXCI - "ARERAVENBLACKH" Away the performance: therefore, much drink Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: And, after, meet you sooner than you would. Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: No place will please me so, no mean of death, By him one step below, he by the next, Look into these affairs see this main end, And smooth my way upon their headless necks; Can be at once, shall step by step attend Keep then far league and truce with thy true bed; Here cometh Charles: I marvel how he sped. MMMMCCXCII - "EREYESSOSUITED" Eleanor, the law, thou see'st, hath judged thee: Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Earth. Would it not grieve a woman to be Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young Eyes; and then they will endure handling, which Some airy devil hovers in the sky Shall gild her bridal bed and make her rich Other men fitter to go out than I. Stand by me, Lucius; do not fear thine aunt. Unless you can find sport in their intents, I see the lady hath a thing to grant, This said, in top of rage the lines she rents, Expecting in return twenty for one? Devise strange deaths for small offences done? MMMMCCXCIII - "ANDTHEYMOURNER" A foolish heart, that I leave here behind. Neither of either; I remit both twain. Dumb jewels often in their silent kind That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain. Him, though removed fifty times, shall all come Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Yet are these feet, whose strengthless stay is numb, Measure my strangeness with my unripe years: Of any point in't shall not only be Unless thou let his silver water keep Rating myself at nothing, you shall see No noise, but silence and eternal sleep: Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. MMMMCCXCIV - "SSEEMATSUCHWHO" Speed more than speed but dull and slow she deems: Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's Another tell him of his hounds and horse, That stays to bear my letters to my friends, So wilfully dost spurn; and force perforce Unfurnish'd of her well-beseeming troop? Come, let's fall to; and, gentle girl, eat this: His time of fearing death. Stoop, Romans, stoop, What were thy lips the worse for one poor kiss? Have I not heard these islanders shout out O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! MMMMCCXCV - "NOTBORNFAIRNOB" No grief did ever come so near thy heart Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. That put Armado's page out of his part! Busy yourselves in skill-contending schools; On this side my hand, and on that side yours. Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! No, good madam; I will not out of doors. From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! And would not, but in fury, fright my youth: In your protectorship you did devise Religion to the gods, peace, justice, truth, Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Old Helicanus goes along behind. But now you partly may perceive my mind. MMMMCCXCVI - "EAUTYLACKSLAND" Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; And, to relief of lazars and weak age, Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; To say this boy were like me. Come, sir page, Yet, I remember, when I was in France, Lest it be said 'Speak, sirrah, when you should; And, for an onset, Titus, to advance Come, come, beshrew your heart! you'll ne'er be good, King did I call thee? no, thou art not king, Salt Cleopatra, soften thy waned lip! Lives so in hope, as in an early spring And with a dropping industry they skip Not on thy sole, but on thy soul, harsh Jew, Definitively thus I answer you. MMMMCCXCVII - "ERINGCREATIONW" Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Rogues, hence, avaunt! vanish like hailstones, go; It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity, Not of that dye which their investments show, Good uncle, let this end where it begun; Come on, sit down: come on, and do your best Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. And no man else hath honour by his death. That the magnifico is much beloved, I will be brief, for my short date of breath Of all that virtue love for virtue loved: Nor aught so good but strain'd from that fair use Where having nothing, nothing can he lose. MMMMCCXCVIII - "ITHAFALSEESTEE" I will both hear and grant you your requests. The key whereof myself have ever kept; He must observe their mood on whom he jests, And when my uncle told me so, he wept, For God's sake, let not us two be behind; And then the whole quire hold their hips and laugh, Lean, rent and beggar'd by the strumpet wind! Shall seize one half his goods; the other half Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Empale him with your weapons round about; Should be full-fraught with serviceable vows. To Edmund Earl of Gloucester. Seek him out Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MMMMCCXCIX - "MYETSOTHEYMOUR" Moist Hesperus hath quench'd his sleepy lamp, Yet, countrymen, O, yet hold up your heads! Ere twice in murk and occidental damp To see those borrow'd tears that Sinon sheds! Sir John, the Lord bless you; God prosper your Of that which hath so faithfully been paid. To accessary yieldings, but still pure He would not stay at your petitions: made Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, Your lord; myself and other noble friends, Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light. O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! MMMMCCC - "NBECOMINGOFTHE" Next time I'll keep my dreams unto myself, But not so citizen a wanton as England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Cry the amen; and yet my conscience says Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. More said? he is good and fair. Is Sir John Is she the goddess that hath sever'd us, No better than the earth he lies upon, Go speedily and bring again the count. O thou well skill'd in curses, stay awhile, Fix'd on the summit of the highest mount, Tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile How often hast thou waited at my cup, Enough to stifle such a villain up. MMMMCCCI - "IRWOETHATEVERY" If you refuse it,--as, in love and zeal, Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift. Whom after under the confession's seal On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Each present lord began to promise aid, To make confession and to be absolved. Hangs one that gathers sampire- dreadful trade! As rushing out of doors, to be resolved The virtue of his will; but you must fear, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Even for this let us divided live, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. You may behold confusion of your foes. MMMMCCCII - "TONGUESAYSBEAU" Thou com'st in such a questionable shape Of whom so often I have heard renown, No, 'tis impossible he should escape, Give me the crown. Here, cousin, seize the crown; Upon the pillow: hie thee, whiles I say Even for this let us divided live, Swallowed with yest and froth, as you'ld thrust a And salt too little which may season give You spend your passion on a misprised mood: Some wanton charm upon this man and maid, But, like in sickness, did I loathe this food; Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, And by herself, I will not tell you whose. Upon the gad? Edmund, how now? What news? MMMMCCCIII - "TYSHOULDLOOKSO" Till now did ne'er invite, nor never woo. You cannot guess who caused your father's death. So come my soul to bliss, as I speak true; Her hair, like golden threads, play'd with her breath; O poor Orlando, thou art overthrown! Unto a view so false will not incline; Likely in time to bless a regal throne. Death of thy soul! those linen cheeks of thine Let music sound while he doth make his choice; O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Out, and alas! that was my lady's voice. Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, Sweet huntsman, Bassianus 'tis we mean-- Or else he never would compare between. MMMMCCCIV - "HOWOFTWHENTHOU" His viands sparkling in a golden cup, On yon young boy: I'll tell thee what, my friend, What misadventure is so early up, On bloody courses, the rude scene may end For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings Than is my deed to my most painted word. Who hath not seen them, even with those wings Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; Not to be gone from hence; for once I read The prey wherein by nature they delight; How many worthy princes' bloods were shed, Of England's coat one half is cut away. Uncertain of the issue any way. MMMMCCCV - "MYMUSICMUSICPL" My lord, stand back, and let the coffin pass. Your grace is welcome to a man disgraced, Methought I was enamour'd of an ass. Under these windows, white and azure laced Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; I am not mad; too well, too well I feel Confess thy treasons ere thou fly the realm; My heart is not compact of flint nor steel; Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Is Antony or we in fault for this? Choose thou thy husband, and I'll pay thy dower; Philip, my liege, so is my name begun, Let me make answer; thy usurping son. MMMMCCCVI - "AYSTUPONTHATBL" A hoop of gold to bind thy brothers in, You show'd your teeth like apes, and fawn'd like hounds, Small curs are not regarded when they grin; The hum of either army stilly sounds, Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Paying more slavish tribute than they owe. Obeying in commanding, and thy parts Nay, forward, old man; do not break off so; Took her own way. The manner of their deaths? His face still combating with tears and smiles, And leave him all; life, living, all is Death's. Take you your instrument, play you the whiles! But fear not thou, until thy foot be snared, Let them be welcome then: we are prepared. MMMMCCCVII - "ESSEDWOODWHOSE" Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Such are the poor, in health--or else a feast, Sirrah, come hither; 'tis no time to jest, Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Defend the justice of my cause with arms, We are no tyrant, but a Christian king; Of the most bloody nurser of his harms! Or is it some abuse, and no such thing? Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, When, both your voices blended, the great'st taste How comes this, Sir John? Fie! What man of good Outruns the eye that doth behold his haste, Speak! In some bush? Where dost thou hide thy head? Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MMMMCCCVIII - "MOTIONSOUNDSWI" Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's O me, with what strict patience have I sat, To do your pleasure and continue friends. I am about to weep; but, thinking that O, how it yearn'd my heart when I beheld Neither disturbed with the effect of wine, Should not be utter'd feebly. It is held Or Edward's soft and pitiful, like mine Upon the next live creature that it sees. Not any, but abide the change of time, Domestics to you, serve your will as't please Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme. Would hang themselves. Physic for't there is none; Is it my fault that I was Geffrey's son? MMMMCCCIX - "THTHYSWEETFING" They are return'd, my lord, and give it out Her dowry shall weigh equal with a queen: The day is broke; be wary, look about. Have by the very cunning of the scene Yet hath he been my captive and my slave, Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort Where should they be set else? he were a brave Except some petty towns of no import: Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say, To use my wings. Impute it not a crime False to my nature? Rather say I play I'll have no bigger; this doth fit the time, No more than I am well acquitted of. Good shepherd, tell this youth what 'tis to love. MMMMCCCX - "ERSWHENTHOUGEN" Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift Set foot under thy table. Tut, a toy! Why then 'tis mine, if but by Warwick's gift. Hunts not the trail of policy so sure Each heart in Rome does love and pity you: No. madam, he does nothing but smile: your That swift as quicksilver it courses through Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad Or bid me go into a new-made grave Upon the country where you make abode; Go, base intruder! overweening slave! Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. No doubt, my liege, if each man do his best. MMMMCCCXI - "TLYSWAYSTTHEWI" The only soil of his fair virtue's gloss, Like a right gipsy, hath, at fast and loose, Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: Where fearing dying pays death servile breath. And with a silk thread plucks it back again, Your part in her you could not keep from death, Sirrah, a word with you: attend those men Thou dost make possible things not so held, The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch, How many of you have mine eyes beheld! Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, Who by the hand of France this day hath made I had as lief have my mistress a jade. MMMMCCCXII - "RYCONCORDTHATM" Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Yet hear me, countrymen; yet hear me speak. Carries noise, and behind him he leaves tears: On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, No place will please me so, no mean of death, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Durst wag his tongue in censure. When these suns-- Till the high fever seethe your blood to froth, He has no children. All my pretty ones? And violation of all faith and troth Take up those cords: poor ropes, you are beguiled, Make the young old, the old become a child. MMMMCCCXIII - "INEEARCONFOUND" I will become as liberal as you; Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Alas, what does this gentleman conceive? Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Comfort, my lord; and so I take my leave. O, who can give an oath? where is a book? No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings From whence you have them. You are jealous now Of time, of numbers and due course of things, Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do so, and bid my sweet prepare to chide. MMMMCCCXIV - "SDOIENVYTHOSEJ" Speak but one rhyme, and I am satisfied; Doth more solicit me than your exclaims, O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? Is not the king's name twenty thousand names? Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, None can be call'd deform'd but the unkind: Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, You'll give me leave to spare, when you shall find There, take it, prince; and if my form lie there, Her mother, ever strong against that match One nick-name for her purblind son and heir, Sets down her babe and makes an swift dispatch Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Jack Cade, the Duke of York hath taught you this. MMMMCCCXV - "ACKSTHATNIMBLE" Art not without ambition, but without Caesar made here; but made not here his brag Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out: Stand for your own; unwind your bloody flag; That thou shalt know. Trojan, he is awake, He bends her fingers, holds her pulses hard, And after seem to chide 'em. This shall make Though Argus were her eunuch and her guard: Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; I will embrace him with a soldier's arm, Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each But honest fear, bewitch'd with lust's foul charm, Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. MMMMCCCXVI - "LEAPTOKISSTHET" Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. And that same sword-and-buckler Prince of Wales, Pursue him to his house, and pluck him thence: The woman falls; sure, he hath kill'd his wife. O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Kneeling before this ruin of sweet life, If that she learn not of her eye to look: She had her breeding at my father's charge. Shall make the gazer joy to see him tread. The sun will set before I shall discharge He hath commanded me to go to bed, End in one purpose, and be all well borne There was not such a gracious creature born. MMMMCCCXVII - "ENDERINWARDOFT" Empale him with your weapons round about; No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Do so, King Philip; hang no more in doubt. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, It were not for your quiet nor your good, Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad Which in round drops upon their whiteness stood. About it; for it stands me much upon, Rivers and Dorset, you were standers by, Disdaining me and throwing favours on O good but most unwise patricians! why, For going on death's net, whom none resist. To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list! MMMMCCCXVIII - "HYHANDWHILSTMY" How often have I tempted Suffolk's tongue, You bade me ban, and will you bid me leave? He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, And give your hearts to, when they once perceive Nor, princes, is it matter new to us Deceitful Warwick! it was thy device Why should I not now have the like success? He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. It is: and lo, where youthful Edward comes! Light, gentlemen; I'll bind it with my shirt. Serving of becks and jutting-out of bums! To do more for me than mine own desert, Men, more divine, the masters of all these, Ye men of Cyprus, let her have your knees. MMMMCCCXIX - "POORLIPSWHICHS" Peep through each part of him: whence has he that, Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, O me, with what strict patience have I sat, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Love is too young to know what conscience is; I do protest I never heard of it; Pawn me to this your honour, she is his. Stand in the plague of custom, and permit Will bless it and approve it with a text, Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws I vow'd, base knight, when I did meet thee next, Cunning in dumbness, from my weakness draws How can they then assist me in the act? She is importunate, indeed distract. MMMMCCCXX - "HOULDTHATHARVE" He gave his nose and took't away again; Or at their chamber door I'll beat the drum Unscissor'd shall this hair of mine remain, Lend me your knees, and all my life to come Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: Then all too late comes counsel to be heard, He craves a parley at your father's house, And swim to yonder point?' Upon the word, The hum of either army stilly sounds, Have glow'd like plated Mars, now bend, now turn, At Rhodes, at Cyprus and on other grounds Rather than make unprofited return. Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. MMMMCCCXXI - "STREAPATTHEWOO" She that was ever fair and never proud, Then love's deep groans I never shall regard, Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard As far as to the sepulchre of Christ, Play the recanter, feeling in itself And when my knightly stomach is sufficed, That cannot do that feat, you'll leave yourself The taste whereof, God of his mercy give His high-pitch'd thoughts, that meaner men should vaunt Even for this let us divided live, Watching breeds leanness, leanness is all gaunt: Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Of all mad matches, never was the like. MMMMCCCXXII - "DSBOLDNESSBYTH" Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. She that was ever fair and never proud, Before King Richard in his royal lists? Of nature and of nations speak aloud Let's tune, and to it lustily awhile. Do you see this? Look on her! look! her lips! Now, if you have a station in the file, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; Between these woolly breeders in the act, Yet did repent me, after more advice; That you in pity may dissolve to dew, His fame lives in the world, his shame in you. MMMMCCCXXIII - "EEBLUSHINGSTAN" Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Between the promise of his greener days Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! Upon whose leaves are drops of new-shed blood She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails, Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood, Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, Nay, come, agree whose hand shall go along, Go not about; my love hath in't a bond, Shall wound my honour with such feeble wrong, Thou naughty gaoler, that thou art so fond And if you break the ice, and do this feat, Nothing but sit and sit, and eat and eat! MMMMCCCXXIV - "DTOBESOTICKLED" Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, That is my office, for my father's sake. Or at the least this refuge let me find; Blow me into abhorring! rather make Each one demand an answer to his part Seem they in motion? Here are sever'd lips, O Clifford, how thy words revive my heart! The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, If he for gold will give us any food; Come, now a roundel and a fairy song; Know, gentle wench, it small avails my mood: Let grow thy sinews till their knots be strong, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? MMMMCCCXXV - "THEYWOULDCHANG" Thou disease of a friend, and not himself! How rarely does it meet with this time's guise, England is safe, if true within itself? Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. Whereof we have record, trial did draw O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Look, if my gentle love be not raised up! Do their gay vestments his affections bait? Cursed be the hand that made these fatal holes! How much she loves me- O, the kindest Kate! Ay, sir; there are a crew of wretched souls No, no, I will not, having breath to cry: Give Richard leave to live till Richard die? MMMMCCCXXVI - "ETHEIRSTATEAND" Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, There's matter in these sighs. These profound heaves He is gone happy, and has left me rich: Embrace and kiss and take ten thousand leaves, I am too mean a subject for thy wrath: Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, She's a witch; forbade her my house and hath To note the chamber: I will write all down: And here, I take it, is the doctor come. There's places of rebuke. He was a fool; Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? And lose advantage, which doth ever cool No matter then although my foot did stand Do you confess so much? Give me your hand. MMMMCCCXXVII - "SITUATIONWITHT" So farewell, Reignier: set this diamond safe In thee hath neither sting, knot, nor confine, These may be counterfeits: let's think't unsafe Unto a view so false will not incline; As the death-bed whereon it must expire To follow this fair corse unto her grave: Imagine Pericles arrived at Tyre, Of his own body he was ill, and gave Nor be not grieved- she is of good esteem, Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives: Into your idle over-handled theme: Thus might he pass indeed. Yet he revives. How happily he lives, how well beloved To eat those little darlings whom they loved. MMMMCCCXXVIII - "HOSEDANCINGCHI" He does deny him, in respect of his, Or with pale beggar-fear impeach my height Strike those that make them; and their story is Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! Dinner is ready, and your father stays. Alack, alack, what blood is this, which stains Needs not the painted flourish of your praise: Clarence still breathes; Edward still lives and reigns: If none of them have soul in such a kind, Never was monarch better fear'd and loved God bless thee; and put meekness in thy mind, Cog their hearts from them, and come home beloved He shall kill two of us, and men indeed: If you be king, why should not I succeed? MMMMCCCXXIX - "PSOERWHOMTHYFI" Pardon me, if you please; if not, I, pleased Smile with an austere regard of control,-- Only be patient till we have appeased Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? What, are Ancient Pistol and you friends yet? Hath dropp'd a precious jewel in the flood, O, God defend me! how am I beset! Mine ears against your suits are stronger than That one day bloom'd and fruitful were the next. Holy Gonzalo, honourable man, Your wrongs do set a scandal on my sex: For many years thought dead, are now revived, I would the friends we miss were safe arrived. MMMMCCCXXX - "NGERSWALKWITHG" Nay I'll to him again in name of Brook Good even, Casca: brought you Caesar home? Else you may be marvellously mistook. Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death: Whoever gave it you. Then, if you know And I have seen thee pause and take thy breath, Lest child, child's children, cry against you woe! Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise With this night's revels and expire the term If I could write the beauty of your eyes The gilded newt and eyeless venom'd worm, His letters bear his mind, not I, my lord. Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard. MMMMCCCXXXI - "ENTLEGAITMAKIN" Exist, and be a member of his love Ne'er look'd but on my back; when they shall see The least of you shall share his part thereof. Look here, I throw my infamy at thee Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Good strings to your beards, new ribbons to your And so I love and honour thee and thine, I thank thee, gentle Percy; and be sure To let the wretched man outlive his wealth, Methinks my zeal to Valentine is cold, And purge it to a sound and pristine health, Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold I was too young that time to value her, Now God in heaven bless thee! Hark you, sir. MMMMCCCXXXII - "GDEADWOODMOREB" Go, call before me all the lords in court. Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Except some petty towns of no import: Are born great, some achieve greatness, and some Did they not sometime cry, 'all hail!' to me? Whither away, or where is thy abode? Other men? Do so, I have gold for thee. O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme Or that we would, against the form of law, Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, But presently prevent the ways to wail. MMMMCCCXXXIII - "LESTTHANLIVING" Look here upon th's picture, and on this, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. She hung about my neck, and kiss on kiss That drive thee from the sportive court, where thou To let the wretched man outlive his wealth, Her sight did ravish; but her grace in speech, And purge it to a sound and pristine health, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; Let us come in, that we may bind him fast Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, If that from him there may be aught applied No glory lives behind the back of such. God's light, with two points on your shoulder? Much! MMMMCCCXXXIV - "LIPSSINCESAUCY" Look, as the fair and fiery-pointed sun, I am the greatest, able to do least, Paris should ne'er retract what he hath done, Such are the poor, in health--or else a feast, Suitors to her and rivals in my love; I speak amazedly; and it becomes No more than I am well acquitted of. Come not thou near me; and when that time comes, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Stands in attainder of eternal shame: And not alone in habit and device, Using no other weapon but his name. Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone; Your right of birth, your empery, your own. MMMMCCCXXXV - "JACKSSOHAPPYAR" Jove sometimes went disguised, and why not I? And, to that dauntless temper of his mind, Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by. Kill'd her, for whom my tears have made me blind. So much against the mettle of your sex, So long as out of limit and true rule Or so devote to Aristotle's checks Hath wisdom's warrant and the help of school And the poor beetle, that we tread upon, Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, Puts my apparel and my count'nance on, Your son, my lord, has paid a soldier's debt: As from a mountain-spring that feeds a dale, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. MMMMCCCXXXVI - "EINTHISGIVETHE" Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains, Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn. That, whiles warm life plays in that infant's veins, Here have we war for war and blood for blood, I think his understanding is bereft. So, by a roaring tempest on the flood, Guilty thou art of murder and of theft, If ever he have wife, let her he made Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Each present lord began to promise aid, The law I bear no malice for my death; Have vanquish'd the resistance of her youth, Even so void is your false heart of truth. MMMMCCCXXXVII - "MTHYFINGERSMET" Mars's hot minion is returned again; The coward horse that bears me fail and die! He fell upon me ere admitted: then You have begot me, bred me, lov'd me; I For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? I speak amazedly; and it becomes Never, O never shall I see more joy! Good uncle Marcus, see how swift she comes. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows So will I grow, so live, so die, my lord, My blood, my want of strength, my sick heart shows. Esteem as foil wherein thou art to set That know the strong'st and surest way to get. MMMMCCCXXXVIII - "HYLIPSTOKISSTH" He took me by the wrist and held me hard; Yet one word more: grief boundeth where it falls, Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. I did present him with the Paris balls. Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Support him by the arm. Give me your hand, The many musets through the which he goes Only in strokes; but, with thy grim looks and Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, I slew thy father, call'st thou him a child? So fought, so followed, and so fairly won, So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, That, had he twenty heads to tender down Henry of Lancaster, resign thy crown. MMMMCCCXXXIX - "EEXPENSEOFSPIR" Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard eXcept to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. Peacock's feather. You'll never trust his word England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, She strike upon the bell. Get thee to bed. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Or nicely charge your understanding soul Forbade the boy he should not pass those grounds: Smile with an austere regard of control,-- Particularities and petty sounds Is he not like thee? is he not thine own? Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMMMCCCXL - "ITINAWASTEOFSH" Instruction, manners, mysteries, and trades, This discord's ground, the music would not please. I'ld play incessantly upon these jades, Not like a guest; so you shall pay your fees As much as I can do, I will effect: When they change us for others? Is it sport? All that may men approve or men detect! Son to the queen, after his own report; Themselves all men of hair, they call themselves Either to get the town again or die: Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. For such a sight will blind a father's eye: Scratch thee but with a pin, and there remains Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains. MMMMCCCXLI - "AMEISLUSTINACT" As truth and beauty shall together thrive, Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit Even for this let us divided live, I thank my beauty, I am fair that shoot, Straight let us seek, or straight we shall be sought; Leave off delays, and let us raise the siege. Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought She hath been then more fear'd than harm'd, my liege; To build at all? Much more, in this great work-- I dare your worst objections: if I blush, Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk: An advocate for an imposter! hush! Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? MMMMCCCXLII - "IONANDTILLACTI" I cry thee mercy then, for I had thought O thou fond many, with what loud applause Nor doth he of himself know them for aught And with the same to act controlling laws. Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Despite of death that lives upon my grave, Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests I fear, a madness held me: this must crave, Like to a trusty squire did run away: Let me dispute with thee of thy estate. And not be seen to wink of all the day-- Could run as fast as thou canst. You are straight The noble duke hath been too much abused. If friend or foe, let him be gently used. MMMMCCCXLIII - "ONLUSTISPERJUR" O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost No glory lives behind the back of such. Lust-breathed Tarquin leaves the Roman host, Unless I flatter with myself too much. Should in the furthest east begin to draw That in the very refuse of thy deeds I should report that which I say I saw, Scratching her legs, that one shall swear she bleeds Prince, pardon me, or strike me, if you please; Either to die the death or to abjure Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Just as you left them; all prisoners, sir, Upon my daughter's head! Tell me, mine own. Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMMMCCCXLIV - "EDMURDEROUSBLO" Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Do you not read some tokens of my son Most incident to maids; bold oxlips and Unless to spy my shadow in the sun Revenge upon myself with present moan? Deliver them, and your appeal to us Enough to purchase what you have made known. Reviving blood, and that great men shall press Of thine affairs, as well as thou of mine? Unmeritable shuns your high request. So, now I have confess'd that he is thine, Be certain, nothing truer; 'tis no jest Let those who are in favour with their stars Of Hymen's purest bed! thou valiant Mars! MMMMCCCXLV - "ODYFULLOFBLAME" Of deaths put on by cunning and forc'd cause; Did not you tell me I should know the man Yet so he ruled and such a prince he was Fortunes: his grace hath made the match, and an Under the lordly monarch of the north, Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Like boys unto a muss, kings would start forth, Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, For though they cannot greatly sting to hurt, Bind up those tresses. O, what love I note Light, gentlemen; I'll bind it with my shirt. And feed on curds and whey, and suck the goat, Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. MMMMCCCXLVI - "SAVAGEEXTREMER" Shall seize one half his goods; the other half As that proud dame, the lord protector's wife. Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? As in revenge or quittal of such strife: Go, go, you question with a wicked tongue. Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. eXpress impatience, lest you stir up mine. Tell me, thou fellow, is not France forsworn? Reignier, her father, to the king of France End in one purpose, and be all well borne More than a wild exposture to each chance Early and late, debating to and fro Rather than triumph in so false a foe. MMMMCCCXLVII - "UDECRUELNOTTOT" Unless thou rescue him from foul despair? Dinner is ready, and your father stays. Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Cannot dispraise but in a kind of praise; Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot, O, I could hew up rocks and fight with flint, There will we mount, and thither walk on foot. That virtue must go through. We must not stint Or else his head's assurance is but frail. To link my dear friend to a common stale. MMMMCCCXLVIII - "RUSTENJOYDNOSO" Return and tell him so: we know the worst. Under whose government come they along? Speak England first, that hath been forward first The chain unfinish'd made me stay thus long. Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place, John, to stop Arthur's title in the whole, Of present dues: the future comes apace: Your old kind father, whose frank heart gave all! Do the part of an honest man in it. No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call; O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: So may the outward shows be least themselves: Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. MMMMCCCXLIX - "ONERBUTDESPISE" On yon proud man, should take it off again Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns By thinking on fantastic summer's heat? Upon his face an ocean of salt tears, There my Lysander and myself shall meet; Did give him that same royalty he wears; Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Small as an eunuch, or the virgin voice Pinched with the colic, you make faces like I shall be well content with any choice Speed more than speed but dull and slow she deems: Extremity still urgeth such extremes. MMMMCCCL - "DSTRAIGHTPASTR" Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! To bid his young son welcome to his grave? Resides not in that man that does not think,-- And much too little of that good I saw I know her father, though I know not her; Go, Lovel, with all speed to Doctor Shaw; How do I thank thee, that this carnal cur Then be my deer, since I am such a park; Poor bird! thou'ldst never fear the net nor lime, And I'll renew me in his fall. But, hark! Still and anon cheer'd up the heavy time, That for Achilles' image stood his spear, Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? MMMMCCCLI - "EASONHUNTEDAND" Empale him with your weapons round about; And underneath that consecrated roof, Sovereign and pious else, could speak thee out, O appetite, from judgment stand aloof! Nay, never lay thy hand upon thy sword; Here overcome, as one full of despair, Under this conjuration, speak, my lord; Neither in inward worth nor outward fair, That hast deceived so many with thy vows? Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: A father and a friend to thee and Rome. Not to pick bad from bad, but by bad mend! Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? MMMMCCCLII - "NOSOONERHADPAS" Now when the lords and barons of the realm O, could this kiss be printed in thy hand, Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; One that attends your ladyship's command. Or let me die, to look on death no more! Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Each changing place with that which goes before, Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! How now, good Blunt? thy looks are full of speed. A fool go with thy soul, whither it goes! Do so: and let no man abide this deed, Peace, ye fat-guts! lie down; lay thine ear close Ay, thou wast born to be a plague to men. So strive upon your pulse. What, pale again? MMMMCCCLIII - "TREASONHATEDAS" That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks And when the mind is quicken'd, out of doubt, Stoop'd as to foot us: his ascension is On purpose laid to make the taker mad; Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says How fares my brother? why is he so sad? And that my sword upon thee shall approve, Their form confounded makes most form in mirth, Effect it with some care, that he may prove Divides more wider than the sky and earth, And lastly, to confirm that amity Sticking together in calamity. MMMMCCCLIV - "ASWALLOWDBAITO" Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip? So mighty and so many my defects, Which for this nineteen years we have let slip; And he my husband best of all affects. Lord, who would live turmoiled in the court, Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee! Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort, Which shows me mine changed too; for I must be Doing the execution and the act Base slave, thy words are blunt and so art thou. Are of imagination all compact: I would have made them skip. I am old now, These offices, so oft as thou wilt look, O, who can give an oath? where is a book? MMMMCCCLV - "NPURPOSELAIDTO" Now sways it that way, like the selfsame sea Post hither, this vile purpose to prevent? Up to his pleasure, ransomless and free: Repair'd with double riches of content. Performers of this heinous, bloody deed? One nick-name for her purblind son and heir, She was a charmer, and could almost read Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Lest his ungovern'd rage dissolve the life A thievish living on the common road? I hop'd thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife; Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, O love, dispatch all business, and be gone! MMMMCCCLVI - "MAKETHETAKERMA" My house was at the Phoenix? Wast thou mad, A tempest, which his mortal vessel tears, Knave; that's, before me thou'rt a knave: this had Environed with all these hideous fears? That stands upon the swell at full of tide, How far is it to Berkeley? and what stir Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. To hear this of him; and could wish he were And make the hearts of Romans serve your ends! Know man from man? dispute his own estate? Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: My heart is thirsty for that noble pledge. And consecrate commotion's bitter edge? MMMMCCCLVII - "DMADINPURSUITA" Dumain transform'd! four woodcocks in a dish! Most true it is that I have look'd on truth A noble life before a long, and wish Do use to chant it: it is silly sooth, In faith, they are as true of heart as we. None else to me, nor I to none alive, Pluck a red rose from off this thorn with me. Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. Receiving them from such a worthless post. Sir Valentine, your father's in good health: Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. I know my lord hath spent of Timon's wealth, These worlds in Tarquin new ambition bred; Above a mortal pitch, that struck me dead? MMMMCCCLVIII - "NDINPOSSESSION" Nay, sometime hangs both thief and true man: what Did steal behind him as he lay along I do not know what witchcraft's in him, but Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! Peace be to England, if that war return Of credit infinite, highly beloved, Since frost itself as actively doth burn, She's Love, she loves, and yet she is not loved. Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Some good man bear him carefully from hence; Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath I shall return before your lordship thence. O noble lord, bethink thee of thy birth! Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. MMMMCCCLIX - "SOHADHAVINGAND" Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. O, this is full of pity! Sir, it calls, His tears run down his beard, like winter's drops Are mortis'd and adjoin'd; which when it falls, Do hourly carp and quarrel, breaking forth Hot was the day; she hotter that did look And, after John of Gaunt, Henry the Fourth, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. I have a hundred milch-kine to the pail, Now, as I can remember, by my troth, Great is his comfort in this earthly vale, And let him ne'er see joy that breaks that oath! Now, like to whelps, we crying run away. Dapples the drowsy east with spots of grey. MMMMCCCLX - "INQUESTTOHAVEE" If it were yours by none of all these ways, Ne'er feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays, Unto the climate that they point upon. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. So honour cross it from the north to south, That I must draw this metal from my side Till thou canst quit thee by thy brother's mouth Or race of youthful and unhandled colts, Her tongue will not obey her heart, nor can And corresponsive and fulfilling bolts, Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Excepting one, I would he were the best Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMMMCCCLXI - "XTREMEABLISSIN" eXpect your highness' doom of life or death. They cut thy sister's tongue and ravish'd her Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Either to die the death or to abjure March on, march on, since we are up in arms; England, impatient of your just demands, Are weakly fortress'd from a world of harms. By me thou shalt have justice at his hands. Look, how you butt yourself in these sharp mocks! I came unto your court for honour's cause, So are those crisped snaky golden locks Such as she says my lord did say I was. If to come hither you have measured miles, Now we are victors; upon us he smiles. MMMMCCCLXII - "PROOFANDPROVED" Perhaps I shall be rescued by the French; Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; O' the toe like a parish-top. What, wench! On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! From those that she calls servants, or from mine? And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind: No sleep close up that deadly eye of thine, Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, Pleased with this dainty bait, thus goes to bed. Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, Or if he do, let it at least be said Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Either consent to pay this sum for me Do me some service, ere I come to thee. MMMMCCCLXIII - "AVERYWOEBEFORE" As plays the sun upon the glassy streams, Valour.

MMMMCCCLXIV - "AJOYPROPOSEDBE" As thunder when the clouds in autumn crack. Justice, O royal duke! Vail your regard On late offenders, that he now doth lack You may as well do anything most hard, Plantagenet shall speak first: hear him, lords; Rough cradle for such little pretty ones!

And tells me 'tis a thing impossible My work hath yet not warm'd me: fare you well: Ask me what question thou canst possible, Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell Lives in the English court, and is received Three great oaths would scarce make that be believed.

O Clifford, but bethink thee once again, While it doth study to have what it would So cowardly; and but for these vile guns, You are too young, too happy, and too good, Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: That in mine ear I durst not stick a rose Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; O, rhymes are guards on wanton Cupid's hose: Not half so bad as thine to England's king, Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. MMMMCCCLXVIII - "NOWSWELLTOSHUN" No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, On this sad shadow Lucrece spends her eyes, Were those that went on each side of the queen?

La main, de hand; les doigts, de fingres. Je pense The merchant fears, ere rich at home he lands.' Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome.

Thine eyes that taught the dumb on high to sing Let not this wasp outlive, us both to sting. MMMMCCCLXX - "EADSMENTOTHISH" Edward the Third, he bids you then resign And now prepare your throats. Lavinia, come, Deck'd in thy rights, as thou art stall'd in mine! Shall I Sir Pandarus of Troy become, Many a time hath banish'd Norfolk fought Expecting in return twenty for one? Nor ask advice of any other thought The evil that thou causest to be done, Of her or you, having proceeded but There were two honours lost, yours and your son's. Here is my journey's end, here is my butt, I am no more touch'd than all Priam's sons: So be my grave my peace as here I give How many years a mortal man may live. MMMMCCCLXXI - "ELLMYMISTRESSE" Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. Let her not strike me. You perhaps may think, Like to the earth swallow her own increase. Makes me with heavy nothing faint and shrink. You cannot witness for me, being slain. May I, sweet lady, beg a kiss of you? I marvel why I answer'd not again; Sweet recreation barr'd, what doth ensue That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake So I, for fear of trust, forget to say Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MMMMCCCLXXII - "YESARENOTHINGL" Your breath first kindled the dead coal of wars Each in his office ready at thy beck.

Look for the news that the Guildhall affords. MMMMCCCLXXIII - "IKETHESUNCORAL" Is topping your white ewe. Arise, arise; Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Thy topless deputation he puts on, How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! Cave here, hunt here, are outlaws, and in time Or, by the gods, this speech were else your last. Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, And this the bleeding business they have done: Let me make answer; thy usurping son. MMMMCCCLXXIV - "ISFARMOREREDTH" It will not let you eat, nor talk, nor sleep, Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, For you there's rosemary and rue; these keep And be not peevish-fond in great designs.

You twain, of all the rest, Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: The third possessor; ay, he was the third-- Hear me with patience but to speak a word.

If't be summer news, Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve He lessens his requests; and to thee sues Effect it with some care, that he may prove Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Led hither by pure love: which of them both I do obey thee till I give thee bail. Perhaps thou wilt object my holy oath: She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds I should my tears let fall upon your cheek, First, let her show her face, and after speak. MMMMCCCLXXVI - "SNOWBEWHITEWHY" Such fierce alarums both of hope and fear, Nature in you stands on the very verge Or, if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer We sicken to shun sickness when we purge, Beats in this hollow prison of my flesh, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Who finds the heifer dead and bleeding fresh He loves your wife; there's the short and the long. I will become as liberal as you; The mortal moon hath her eclipse endured Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Within the eye of honour, be assured, His sword did ne'er leave striking in the field. You press me far, and therefore I will yield. MMMMCCCLXXVII - "THENHERBREASTS" Then were it certain you were not so bad Have we not lost most part of all the towns, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, How! will she none? doth she not give us thanks? Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, By foul play, as thou say'st, were we heaved thence, Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: Envenom him with words, or get thee gone All that are his so too.

And let all sleep, while to my shame I see Come, mistress, now perforce we will enjoy King Henry's issue, Richmond, comforts thee. When Richmond was a little peevish boy.

And we will fear no poison, which attends Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead Did I deserve no more than a fool's head? MMMMCCCLXXXIII - "WHITEBUTNOSUCH" When in the streets he meets such golden gifts. Have scarce strength left to give them burial. I see a man here needs not live by shifts, They have changed eyes.

Spit, and throw stones, cast mire upon me, set Each opposite that blanks the face of joy So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live? So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Except it be to pray against thy foes. I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: I know her spirits are as coy and wild Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks, How couldst thou drain the life-blood of the child, Establish him in his true sense again, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain.

Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, To death, or to a vow of single life. To separate the husband and the wife. MMMMCCCLXXXVIII - "HANINTHEBREATH" Had you not been their father, these white flakes And make him proud to make me proud that jests! Nay, stay; lets hear the orisons he makes. I will both hear and grant you your requests. No more, I say: if thou dost plead for him, That stays but till her owner comes aboard, Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; But nothing can affection's course control, Rush on his host, as doth the melted snow Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, And so they are: alas, that they are so; To lay on me a cruelty, by taking He speaks not like a man of God's making.

And now, my honey love, So let high-sighted tyranny range on, I saw't this morning: confident I am Leaving thy trunk for crows to feed upon. O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MMMMCCCXCI - "TOHEARHERSPEAK" Therefore, dear boy, mount on my swiftest horse; Of all his wars within the realm of France? Have satisfied the king for his divorce, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: And, lest thou shouldst detect him, cut thy tongue. Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Raised only, that the weaker sort may wish Set foot under thy table. Tut, a toy!

You'll never trust his word Let him fear this, for it will come to pass Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard And that the legions now in Gallia are So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am.

Gentle Lavinia, let me kiss thy lips. Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. And notwithstanding all her sudden quips, None but that ugly treason of mistrust, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Is almost choked by unresisted lust.

MMMMCCCXCVII - "OMYMISTRESSWHE" Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: Must I behold thy timeless cruel death? Yet am I sworn and I did purpose, boy, May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath. In vaults and prisons, and to thrill and shake Some mark of virtue on his outward parts: The greatest strength and power he can make, Rather than rob me of the people's hearts! Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place She says enough; yet she's a simple bawd Shall I for love speak treason to thy face? What should it be, that they so shriek abroad? He spake of her, as Dian had hot dreams, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. MMMMCCCXCVIII - "NSHEWALKSTREAD" Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Shall as a carpet hang upon thy grave, Had I but served my God with half the zeal Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Without impeachment: for, to say the sooth, And he would love me dearly as his child. Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth, Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild; So doth the greater glory dim the less: Thou shouldst be colour'd thus.

Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Of no more force to dispossess me, sir, Upon the number'd beach? and can we not Nor nothing in your letters writ of her? Do now attend the queen?

Yes, my lord, yes; he at Philippi kept Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: By the simplicity of Venus' doves, Your Highness knows, comes to no further use Hath not deserved my service nor your loves; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. And such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Not working with the eye without the ear, If I do not usurp myself, I am.

MMMMCDV - "YRANNOUSSOASTH" You are too much mistaken in this king: Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains About a hoop of gold, a paltry ring Now, youthful Troilus, do not these high strains Never can blab, nor know not what we mean. O Buckingham, now do I play the touch, Under your good correction, I have seen, Scratching could not make it worse, an 'twere such Shall better speak of you than you deserve.

These accusations and these grievous crimes I should rejoice now at this happy news; Each changing place with that which goes before, Some necessaries that I needs must use, Pure Chastity is rifled of her store, Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, O, well-a-day, that ever I was born!

Forward, I pray, since we have come so far, Of my word, I have written to effect; Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, When, silly groom! God wot, it was defect England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Left solely heir to all his lands and goods, Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, That ever Timon was. Shame not these woods, Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep. Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. MMMMCDX - "KNOWSTTOMYDEAR" Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Of such as your oppression feeds upon, With hard bright steel and hearts harder than steel.

The commonwealth hath daily run to wreck; Opening on Neptune with fair blessed beams, Methinks he looks as though he were in love.

I fell; and yet do question make Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. MMMMCDXI - "DOTINGHEARTTHO" Damn'd in the first beginners!--gan to look Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?

Have lopp'd and hew'd and made thy body bare Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard And brought me garlands, Griffith, which I feel Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Then join you with them, like a rib of steel, Takes on the point of honour to support Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! MMMMCDXII - "UARTTHEFAIREST" Unquestion'd welcome and undoubted blest. And, being troubled with a raging tooth, Revenue, execution of the rest, Those of your fact are so--so past all truth: Their virtues else- be they as pure as grace, He should have had a volume of farewells; Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place From cold and empty veins, where no blood dwells; All that good time will give us: this attempt It is my lady, O, it is my love! Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive and cog, That I should snarl and bite and play the dog. MMMMCDXIII - "ANDMOSTPRECIOU" As full of sorrows as the sea of sands, Now, by my life, this day grows wondrous hot; Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands My father stays my coming; answer not; O, all you gods! O pretty, pretty pledge! Sirrah, I will not bear these braves of thine. This news, I think, hath turn'd your weapon's edge; Poor gentleman! his wrong doth equal mine. Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Can the son's eye behold his father bleed? It seems not meet, nor wholesome to my place, Of his bright passage to the occident. Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. MMMMCDXIV - "SJEWELYETINGOO" Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort Joy absent, grief is present for that time. Except some petty towns of no import: When shall you see me write a thing in rhyme? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Let not the piece of virtue, which is set Young Arthur is my son, and he is lost: Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests I would not care, I then would be content, Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Give me some ink and paper in my tent One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; O that my death would stay these ruthful deeds! MMMMCDXV - "DFAITHSOMESAYT" Dear father, soul and substance of us all,-- Found that the issue was not his begot; And, if you may confess it, say withal, I cry thee mercy then, for I had thought That here by mountaineers lies slain. Alas! Hath crawl'd into the favour of the king, So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, O, much I fear some ill unlucky thing. Madam, an if my brother had my shape, End in one purpose, and be all well borne Show me a villain that hath done a rape, And these breed honour: that is honour's scorn, You love my son; invention is ashamed, That he is grown so great? Age, thou art shamed! MMMMCDXVI - "HATTHEEBEHOLDT" Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. And like a lowly lover down she kneels; That hast deceived so many with thy vows? The throng that follows Caesar at the heels, How high a pitch his resolution soars! Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; By this, I think, the dial points at five: Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Her eyes, her hair, her cheek, her gait, her voice, Only to show his pomp as well in France Let music sound while he doth make his choice; Doth make an earthquake of nobility. That proof is call'd impossibility. MMMMCDXVII - "HYFACEHATHNOTT" Have I thought long to see this morning's face, You have witchcraft in your lips, Kate: there is From his true-meant design. Upon his place, And the nobility of Rome are his: Conceives by idleness and nothing teems Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. He spake of her, as Dian had hot dreams, Allowing him a breath, a little scene, To make confession and to be absolved. Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; Never fear that: if he be so resolved, Of which, my lord, your honour is the last. The holy suit which fain it would convince, To crown himself king and suppress the prince. MMMMCDXVIII - "HEPOWERTOMAKEL" He did behave his anger, ere 'twas spent, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Post hither, this vile purpose to prevent? Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, Wilt thou be glass wherein it shall discern Either for life or death, upon the earth Ready to go, but never to return. Their form confounded makes most form in mirth, O me, my heart, my rising heart! But down! Making another head to fight again. According to the statute of the town, Know you not, master, to some kind of men Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Let me dispute with thee of thy estate. MMMMCDXIX - "OVEGROANTOSAYT" Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Give it to me: what, is it in the case? Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Or that or any place that harbours men. As shaming any eye should thee behold, Not to the beast that would usurp their den. Their iron indignation 'gainst your walls: On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, At Rhodes, at Cyprus and on other grounds Yet nature might have made me as these are, That brought her for this high good turn so far? MMMMCDXX - "HEYERRIDARENOT" Here comes your man; now is your husband nigh. Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place You should not blemish it, if I stood by: Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, And thus hath so bestirr'd thee in thy sleep, Raze out the written troubles of the brain Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Now fear I this will give it start again; Or I shall break that merry sconce of yours Threshold till my lord return from the wars. MMMMCDXXI - "BESOBOLDALTHOU" Be patient, Princes; you do know these fits Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Soothing the humour of fantastic wits? Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Be plain, good son, and homely in thy drift; O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Let's see for means: O mischief, thou art swift Did lately meet in the intestine shock And with them scourge the bad revolting stars Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. The bass is right; 'tis the base knave that jars. Have of their puissance made a little taste. Of public honour and proud titles boast, Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. MMMMCDXXII - "GHISWEARITTOMY" Gave sign for me to leave you: so I did; He that hath miss'd the princess is a thing If any such be here--as God forbid!-- Stand by, my masters: bring him near the king; Worthy the pressing--lies a mole, right proud Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive As mad as the vex'd sea, singing aloud, Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Inclined to this intelligence, pronounce Than was his loss, to course your flying flags, The dearer by I know how much an ounce. Or tie my treasure up in silken bags, My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. Your treatise makes me like you worse and worse. MMMMCDXXIII - "SELFALONEANDTO" Show me one scar character'd on thy skin: Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Long may he live in fortunes! Shall we in? For then despite of space I would be brought, And yet not so; since I am sure my love's Levied an army, weening to redeem Of both is flatter'd; but he neither loves, Nor should thy prowess want praise and esteem, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; And his achievements of no less account: No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Debate it at their leisure. Welcome, count; To shake the head, relent, and sigh, and yield Or bide the mortal fortune of the field? MMMMCDXXIV - "BESURETHATISNO" By their increase, now knows not which is which: Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. So will I turn her virtue into pitch, Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, To trip the course of law, and blunt the sword Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, Alas, the sea hath cast me on the rocks, The French fight coldly, and retire themselves. It were a better death than die with mocks, Sweet rest his soul! Fly, lords, and save yourselves; Nor do I thee: though I did wish him dead, Our melancholy upon your head! MMMMCDXXV - "TFALSEISWEARAT" The humble slave which wounded bosoms fits! For beauty starved with her severity And did my brother Bedford toil his wits, Leaving thee living in posterity? Slave, I have set my life upon a cast, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; I think the Duke of Burgundy will fast Saying, I liked her ere I went to wars. Was, for that--young King Richard thus removed, Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Alas, the tender boy, in passion moved, Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, And here's thy hand, in scorn to thee sent back; To look like her are chimney-sweepers black. MMMMCDXXVI - "HOUSANDGROANSB" Here is a man--but 'tis before his face; Or I could make a prologue to my brains, Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Scratch thee but with a pin, and there remains All yet seems well; and if it end so meet, Nay, good Lysander; for my sake, my dear, Decoct their cold blood to such valiant heat? Good morrow, Kate- for that's your name, I hear. Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, As are companions noted and most known Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Sir, you and I must part, but that's not it: But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit. MMMMCDXXVII - "UTTHINKINGONTH" Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. The Tuscan service, freely have they leave The need we have to use you did provoke Hark! by the sound of drum you may perceive I will take order for her keeping close. No harm, good man;' puts him off, slights him, with Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. I take it, by all voices, that forthwith Now, good my lord, lie here and rest awhile. Give him allowance for the better man; O, now you look like Hubert! all this while Now, Master Slender: love him, daughter Anne. There's something in me that reproves my fault; How now! what means death in this rude assault? MMMMCDXXVIII - "YFACEONEONANOT" You shall be yet far fairer than you are. Fury, Fury! there, Tyrant, there! hark! hark! A prayer upon her grave. I'll not seek far-- Cannot be truly follow'd. You shall mark Ere bloody hands were wash'd, with such a peace. O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; O Warwick, Warwick! I foresee with grief Now, as I can remember, by my troth, A curse upon him, die he like a thief, Not wind? it shall, it must; you see it doth. One minute, nay, one quiet breath of rest. To come abroad with him at his request. MMMMCDXXIX - "HERSNECKDOWITN" Here overcome, as one full of despair, Either to die the death or to abjure Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Suffer thy brother Marcus to inter No, not an oath: if not the face of men, Even or odd, of all days in the year, Cancel all grudge, repeal thee home again, Kind uncle York, the latest news we hear Directly interest: mark what Jacob did. Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard When I to feast expressly am forbid; I offer'd to awaken his regard That sport best pleases that doth least know how: Nor mine, my lord: Cressid was here but now. MMMMCDXXX - "ESSBEARTHYBLAC" Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Sir boy, I'll whip you from your foining fence; But not without that harmful stroke which since Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, And egally indeed to all estates,-- Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Took up a beggar's issue at my gates, How I have ever loved the life removed You may as well do anything most hard, But treasons capital, confess'd and proved, Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. A holy parcel of the fairest dames. Can sick men play so nicely with their names? MMMMCDXXXI - "KISFAIRESTINMY" Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind, I ask'd his blessing, and from first to last So that, dear lords, if I be left behind, For making him egregiously an ass And charge that no man should disturb your rest I am not here against your father's peace; Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Say that I linger'd with you at your shop That, were my state far worser than it is, I must be brief, lest resolution drop Now in the rearward comes the duke and his: My name is Constance; I was Geffrey's wife; Yet none of you would once plead for his life. MMMMCDXXXII - "JUDGMENTSPLACE" Judge me the world, if 'tis not gross in sense Upon enforcement flies with greatest speed, Do so. This jest shall cost me some expense. Get thee to bed, and rest; for thou hast need. Met us again and madly bent on us, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! That shake me thus. Pish! Noses, ears, and lips. Shall we hear from thee, Tyrrel, ere we sleep? Pompey is moved. More Ates, more Ates! stir them Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; And you, sir, to outlive the age I am, Commends me to the thing I cannot get. Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MMMMCDXXXIII - "INNOTHINGARTTH" If with too credent ear you list his songs, No: know the gallant monarch is in arms Not Gaunt's rebukes, nor England's private wrongs, Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, To entertain my vows of thanks and praise! His days may finish ere that hapless time. Into a manly stride, and speak of frays Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme Go ply thy needle; meddle not with her. And suck'd the honey which thy chaste bee kept. Romeo, that she were, O, that she were The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: To do myself this wrong: till, at the last, He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass. MMMMCDXXXIV - "OUBLACKSAVEINT" Of purpose to obscure my noble birth. Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; Bright star of Venus, fall'n down on the earth, Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: And with a silk thread plucks it back again, Commend thy grievance to my holy prayers, Know you not, master, to some kind of men Sad sighs, deep groans, nor silver-shedding tears, Always a villain's office or a fool's. Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Either they must be dieted like mules Inhabits in the finest wits of all. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Than to accomplish twenty golden crowns! MMMMCDXXXV - "HYDEEDSANDTHEN" Heels.' Well, the most courageous fiend bids me Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, Do not draw back, for we will mourn with thee Either thou art most ignorant by age, Either to die the death or to abjure Deserve not worse than wretched Clarence did, Sacred and sweet was all I saw in her. And oftentimes have purposed to forbid Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk: Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. The press of boats or pride: a piece of work How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? Each man apart, all single and alone, No matter, sir, what I have heard or known. MMMMCDXXXVI - "CETHISSLANDERA" Coming to look on you, thinking you dead- Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. This tongue that runs so roundly in thy head Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost; If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: Agrees not with the leanness of his purse. Now, by the burning tapers of the sky, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. Embowell'd will I see thee by and by: Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. Accountant to the law upon that pain. MMMMCDXXXVII - "SITHINKPROCEED" Shall braying trumpets and loud churlish drums, If I would time expend with such a snipe. That labour may you save: see where he comes. His head unmellow'd, but his judgment ripe; I do assure thee, father, so it is. Nay, in the body of this fleshly land, Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. Pardon is all the suit I have in hand. Rely upon it till my tale be heard, On newer proof, to try an older friend, Come hither, little kinsman; hark, a word. Either of you to be the other's end. Early and late, debating to and fro Do it, and happy; by my silver bow! MMMMCDXXXVIII - "STHINEEYESILOV" Souls out of one weaver? shall we do that? There's his chamber, his house, his castle, his Her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat, If there be nothing new, but that which is Nay, mock not, mock not. The body of your Early and late, debating to and fro Exposing what is mortal and unsure You grow exceeding strange: must it be so? Each in his office ready at thy beck. She puts on outward strangeness, seems unkind, I took a costly jewel from my neck, Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find. Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? MMMMCDXXXIX - "EANDTHEYASPITY" Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard All fancy-sick she is and pale of cheer, Nay, stay; by Jove, I will not speak a word: Drink off this potion! Is thy union here? Then, thou fair sun, that on this earth doth shine, Hath yielded up his body to the grave; Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Yet hath he been my captive and my slave, And so success of mischief shall be born, Should have thus little mercy on their flesh? Proves valueless: you are forsworn, forsworn; I'll have some proof. Her name, that was as fresh This star of England: Fortune made his sword; You may depend hereafter. Come, my lord. MMMMCDXL - "INGMEKNOWINGTH" I was preserved to serve this noble count. Nothing in France, until he have no wife! Great Lord of Warwick, if we should recount Miscarried by my fault, let my old life Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise No, not a whit: what! I have watch'd ere now Or on my frailties why are frailer spies, With tokens thus, and thus; averting notes If that the devil and mischance look big Now, by my sword, I will kill all his coats; Give it a plum, a cherry, and a fig: Thy sacred physic shall receive such pay Hast thou met with him? Send thy man away. MMMMCDXLI - "YHEARTTORMENTS" Your grace shall well and quietly enjoy. He ten times pines that pines beholding food; Each opposite that blanks the face of joy And almost thence my nature is subdued Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills The king and queen there! that they were, I wish The fishes spread on it their golden gills; Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his My purpose was for Tarsus, there to strike Ere such another Julius. Britain is Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. To him that flourish'd for her with his sword So says the prince and my new-trothed lord. MMMMCDXLII - "MEWITHDISDAINH" My scars can witness, dumb although they are, East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, With cheese and garlic in a windmill, far, I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. This Trojan scorns us; or the men of Troy He bow'd his nature, never known before Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? In ranks and squadrons and right form of war, Sweet rest his soul! Fly, lords, and save yourselves; Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look: Ay, as the glasses where they view themselves; If you suppose as fearing you it shook. No. madam, he does nothing but smile: your Have done, for more I hardly can endure. MMMMCDXLIII - "AVEPUTONBLACKA" All these are servants to deceitful men. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Establish him in his true sense again, Perchance some single vantages you took. Upon a friend of mine, who, in hot blood, That we with smoking swords may march from hence, Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? Now is it manhood, wisdom and defence, But now the arbitrator of despairs, Lord Timon will be left a naked gull, And take the great-grown traitor unawares: Cousin, thou wert not wont to be so dull: Kate, eat apace. And now, my honey love, As those that I am come to tell you of! MMMMCDXLIV - "NDLOVINGMOURNE" Now do you know the reason of this haste. Dulling my lines and doing me disgrace. Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: O, yes, I saw sweet beauty in her face, Very hardly upon such a subject. I took a costly jewel from my neck, Nor construe any further my neglect, Go, go, be gone, to save your ship from wreck, Master's whistle. Blow, till thou burst thy wind, O noble lord, bethink thee of thy birth! Under that bond that him as fast doth bind. Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, No, Harry, Harry, 'tis no land of thine; Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. MMMMCDXLV - "RSBELOOKINGWIT" Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Besides the thane of Cawdor. But 'tis strange: Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Let her not say 'tis I that keep you here: Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath Or in the night, imagining some fear, Kill Brutus, and be honour'd in his death. If to come hither you have measured miles, Nay, but make haste; the better foot before. Grasps in the comer: welcome ever smiles, With her whom here I cannot hold on shore; Is very snow-broth; one who never feels Treasons, makes me betake me to my heels. MMMMCDXLVI - "HPRETTYRUTHUPO" Have, as I do remember, done me wrong. Proceed to judgment: by my soul I swear Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Thy smoothing titles to a ragged name, This princess of pure white, this seal of bliss! You know no more than others; but you frame Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Upon his party: he, mistrusting them, The people's hearts, and wean them from themselves. Had twenty years been made. This is a stem Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Propinquity and property of blood, Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? MMMMCDXLVII - "NMYPAINANDTRUL" No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. My love till death, my humble thanks, my prayers; Your monument shall be my gentle verse, Peace, tender sapling; thou art made of tears, A letter, that she loves the knight of Tyre! I will not stay to-night for all the town; Nor heady-rash, provoked with raging ire, Ambitious York doth level at thy crown, Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad Dear general, I never gave you cause. That living mortals, hearing them, run mad:-- Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Upon my head and all this famous land. Look'st thou pale, France? do not let go thy hand. MMMMCDXLVIII - "YNOTTHEMORNING" You may as well forbid the mountain pines No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines That none so small advantage shall step forth That can torment him much and hold him long, How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, Else had she with her father rang'd along. Many sharp reasons to defeat the law. Or (not to crack the wind of the poor phrase, Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Not shall we need his help these fourteen days. I am less proud to hear you tell my worth Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Go, count thy way with sighs; I mine with groans. MMMMCDXLIX - "SUNOFHEAVENBET" Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Unto the rigour of severest law. Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, O, that that earth which kept the world in awe For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich; Have faculty by nature to subsist; Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, And wring the awful sceptre from his fist, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Else one self mate and mate could not beget Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says But when a black-faced cloud the world doth threat, Exist, and be a member of his love That ever yet this land was guilty of. MMMMCDL - "TERBECOMESTHEG" That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds? Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Record it with your high and worthy deeds: But at this instant he is sick my lord, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Come, mistress, you must tell's another tale. Opening on Neptune with fair blessed beams, Myself in my incertain grounds to fail England did never owe so sweet a hope, Sorry I am to hear what I have heard: Though palaces and pyramids do slope He lends thee virtue and he stole that word Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Give me, give me! O, tell not me of fear! MMMMCDLI - "REYCHEEKSOFTHE" Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Every man shift for all the rest, and Yea, Richard, when I know; for I protest Conjures the wand'ring stars, and makes them stand He hears naught privately that comes from Troy. Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Kneel down before him, hang upon his gown: She makes it strange; but she would be best pleased O, say thou for her, who hath done this deed? For which, I hope, thou felt'st I was displeased. To try if thou be current gold indeed How can it? O, how can Love's eye be true, Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. MMMMCDLII - "EASTNORTHATFUL" Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: And make a sop of all this solid globe: Seem they in motion? Here are sever'd lips, The marshal's truncheon, nor the judge's robe, Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, O thou fond many, with what loud applause Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws, His leg is but so-so; and yet 'tis well. As brings a thousand-fold more care to keep That in thy face sweet love should ever dwell; Forth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep; Upon whose age we void it up again, Leaving them but the shales and husks of men. MMMMCDLIII - "LSTARTHATUSHER" Lonely, apart. But here it is: prepare So thrive it in your game! and so, farewell. That presses them and learns them first to bear, Avaunt, thou dreadful minister of hell! Real necessities, and give way the while That stays but till her owner comes aboard, He's scarce awake. Let him alone awhile. And I resign my gage. My dear dear lord, Till France be won into the Dauphin's hands: Upon his visage, and that all the walls Spurn at his edict and fulfil a man's? He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. MMMMCDLIV - "SINTHEEVENDOTH" Shall it not grieve thee dearer than thy death, It shall be done; I will arraign them straight. Never did mockers waste more idle breath. That they who brought me in my master's hate Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Nor I nor any man that but man is Decius, well urged: I think it is not meet, Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his To hunt the boar with certain of his friends. His crest that prouder than blue Iris bends. MMMMCDLV - "HALFTHATGLORYT" Had all your quarters been as safely kept And well am like to do; for, I perceive, Laugh'd in his face; and when with grief he wept, For these known evils, but to give me leave, To keep the oath that we administer: He is contented thy poor drudge to be, And that unaptness made your minister, There art thou happy: Tybalt would kill thee, Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: Look, Lucius, here's the book I sought for so; O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Receiving nought by elements so slow York lies; he might have sent and had the horse; Than I by letters shall direct your course. MMMMCDLVI - "OTHESOBERWESTA" O, 'tis the sun that maketh all things shine. Thy sugar'd tongue to bitter wormwood taste: Here's my glove: give me another of thine. Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! Only attended by Nerissa here, But with a crafty madness keeps aloof Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. With a new Gorgon: do not bid me speak; Except it be to pray against thy foes. See, see; here comes the man we went to seek. That cures us both. I am much sorry, sir, And I to sigh for her! to watch for her! MMMMCDLVII - "STHOSETWOMOURN" Shall to my flaming wrath be oil and flax. This and my food are equals; there's no odds: Have wrought the easy-melting king like wax. Of pain: nay, we must think men are not gods, She utters this, 'He, he, fair lords, 'tis he, Empale him with your weapons round about; The more I hate, the more he follows me. Whom love hath turn'd almost the wrong side out, Or bid me go into a new-made grave My arms such eel-skins stuff'd, my face so thin Of his own body he was ill, and gave Uncertain way of gain! But I am in Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. MMMMCDLVIII - "INGEYESBECOMET" I offer'd to awaken his regard Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Good day, my lord. What, at your book so hard? Except it be to pray against thy foes. You sad-faced men, people and sons of Rome, Edward Plantagenet, arise a knight; Since I nor wax nor honey can bring home, But all in vain; they had no heart to fight, Edward and Clarence. O, what cause have I, CORIOLANUS, Or if it be, 'tis with false sorrow's eye, My lords, at once: the care you have of us, Even or odd, of all days in the year, To horse, to horse! urge doubts to them that fear. MMMMCDLIX - "HYFACEOLETITTH" Hath from the number of his banish'd years Yet would my love to thee be still as much; Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; And hast thou kill'd him sleeping? O brave touch! CORIOLANUS, Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us. Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time To free us from his father's wrathful curse, In the division of each several crime, The clock struck nine when I did send the nurse; The greatest strength and power he can make, Harp on it still shall I till heart-strings break. MMMMCDLX - "ENASWELLBESEEM" English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, No better than the earth he lies upon, And, after John of Gaunt, Henry the Fourth, She is a woman, therefore to be won. When sorrows come, they come not single spies. Endue you with the people's voice: remains Like a fine bragging youth, and tell quaint lies, Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Bushy and Green, I will not vex your souls-- Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes Each hath his place and function to attend: Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? My lord, your loving nephew now is come. MMMMCDLXI - "THYHEARTTOMOUR" To an unsettled fancy cure thy brains, How I may bear me here: my prime request, Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins, Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest-- Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Against her maiden truth. Call me a fool; Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, To comb your noddle with a three-legg'd stool, This and my food are equals; there's no odds: O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends My lords, you know, as know the mightful gods, Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,-- Unbind my sons, reverse the doom of death; Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. MMMMCDLXII - "NFORMESINCEMOU" Nothing more dear to me. You are abused Fair maid, is't thou wilt do these wondrous feats? O, that a lady, of one man refused. Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. May all the building in my fancy pluck Each one demand an answer to his part Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck I think no less. Dost thou not wish in heart Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, CORIOLANUS! Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, My lord, I know not, I, nor can I guess, O Buckingham, now do I play the touch, Unless I flatter with myself too much. MMMMCDLXIII - "RNINGDOTHTHEEG" Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! If consequence do but approve my dream, Nay, come, agree whose hand shall go along, Go pack with him, and give the mother gold, Dumain transform'd! four woodcocks in a dish! O God, I fear thy justice will take hold The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish Hath yielded up his body to the grave; To their salt sovereign, with their fresh falls' haste Here to have death in peace is all he'll crave. Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Grows elder now and cares it be not done. MMMMCDLXIV - "RACEANDSUITTHY" Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, And will not let me welcome this good news. Confess'd the vile encounters they have had Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. A plague on thee! thou art too bad to curse. Now, if the help of Norfolk and myself, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. Semblably furnish'd like the king himself. Upon the country where you make abode; I know not what to do: I would to God, To throw away the dearest thing he owed, The third time; I hope good luck lies in odd Henry the Fifth: whiles they each other cross, Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. MMMMCDLXV - "PITYLIKEINEVER" Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret, If they should speak, would almost damn those ears, That know the strong'st and surest way to get. Your eyes do make no coaches; in your tears Loseth his pride and never waxeth strong. It could not else be, I should prove so base, King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Either withdraw unto some private place, I do not know what witchcraft's in him, but Nor dare to know that which I know. O sir! Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Values itself so highly that to her Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. MMMMCDLXVI - "YPARTTHENWILLI" Yes, I beseech; or I shall short my word Pardon this fault, and by my soul I swear And I, the hapless male to one sweet bird, Rather than have that savage duke thine heir The tidings come that they are all arrived. They sale of offices and towns in France, He durst not sit there, had your father lived. Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Nor will he know his purse, or yield me this, Why, love forswore me in my mother's womb: I do beseech you, take it not amiss; Lionel Duke of Clarence: next to whom Let what is meet be said it must be meet, I fear it is too choleric a meat. MMMMCDLXVII - "SWEARBEAUTYHER" Shall touch the people--which time shall not want, Who will not change a raven for a dove? Each cheek a river running from a fount As once Europa did at lusty Jove, Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. But they ne'er meet with Opportunity. Empties itself, as doth an inland brook And make me happy in your unity. Upon a wooden coffin we attend, Trimm'd up your praises with a princely tongue, You have done wrong to this my honest friend, He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? MMMMCDLXVIII - "SELFISBLACKAND" So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Let it be so! thy truth then be thy dower! For, as I think, they do command him home, It is extempore, from my mother wit. Show duty, as mistaken all this while By her is poisoned; she hath confess'd it. Love, lend me patience to forbear awhile. And see their blood, or die with this reproach. Come, guard the door without; let him not pass, King John, your king and England's doth approach, And nothing marted with him. If your lass Needs not the painted flourish of your praise: Dinner is ready, and your father stays. MMMMCDLXIX - "ALLTHEYFOULTHA" Ajax commands the guard to tend on you. Lord Titus, by your leave, this maid is mine. Lest, then, the people, and patricians too, Then speak the truth by her; if not divine, His viands sparkling in a golden cup, Even for this let us divided live, You do yourselves but wrong to stir me up; From thy behavior; beauty doth he give O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop Upon this business my appearance make Let's take the instant by the forward top; Then after to her father will I break; Ha! what sayest thou? Why, the end is, he hath And they shall feel the vengeance of my wrath. MMMMCDLXX - "TTHYCOMPLEXION" To my demands. Why do you pity me? The anger of the king nor guilty of, Have put on black and loving mourners be, Your griefs! for what? wrong not your prince you love. Could force his soul so to his own conceit O, let me teach you how to knit again Methinks King Richard and myself should meet Pitiful sight! here lies the county slain, Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, eXceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Or I shall break that merry sconce of yours No, good madam; I will not out of doors. MMMMCDLXXI - "LACKBESHREWTHA" Lesser his person than an ill report; And even now my burthen'd heart would break, Came from the north and thus it did import: Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake. But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Shall win my love; and so I take my leave, His uncle Siward and the good Macduff: Recking as little what betideth me Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Were to prove false, which I will never be, That yet can do thee office? If thou hast, His eye-balls further out than when he lived, And give us truth who 'tis that is arrived. MMMMCDLXXII - "THEARTTHATMAKE" To bring him here alone; although perhaps He was a gentleman on whom I built Expire before the flowers in their caps, And give to dust that is a little gilt Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, The hope of Rome; for so he bade me say; Therefore my merchandise makes me not sad. How heavy do I journey on the way, As shore of rock. Attend. This holy fox, The roughest berry on the rudest hedge; More than with ruthless waves, with sands and rocks. And there the strawy Greeks, ripe for his edge, Keep then far league and truce with thy true bed; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MMMMCDLXXIII - "SMYHEARTTOGROA" Say but the word, and I will be his priest. May counterpoise this rich and precious gift? You know there wants no junkets at the feast. His bed shall seem a school, his board a shrift; Except some petty towns of no import: An armour all of gold; it was a king's. Rising and cawing at the gun's report, The fearful difference of incensed kings: To be her mistress' mistress! the queen's queen! Or how haps it I seek not to advance Gifts of rich value. Yet I have not seen Reignier, her father, to the king of France O cruel, irreligious piety! And lace itself with his society? MMMMCDLXXIV - "NFORTHATDEEPWO" Now in the rearward comes the duke and his: For on the grass she lies as she were slain, On this fair corse; and, as the custom is, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. The hum of either army stilly sounds, Here is my hand; the premises observed, At Rhodes, at Cyprus and on other grounds That I some lady trifles have reserved, Death lies on her like an untimely frost Empale him with your weapons round about; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Presence majestical would put him out, What then became of them I cannot tell Of its right father. Blossom, speed thee well! MMMMCDLXXV - "UNDITGIVESMYFR" Up higher to the plain; where we'll set forth Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims During whose reign the Percies of the north, I would we had a thousand Roman dames Think you I am no stronger than my sex, God safely quit her of her burthen, and Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: She bids me think how I have been forsworn May you a better feast never behold, Your grace, that fed my country with your corn, Flat treason 'gainst the kingly state of youth. Remains in danger of her former tooth. MMMMCDLXXVI - "IENDANDMEISTNO" In at his window; set this up with wax Employ'd you where high profits might come home, No, not to stay the finding of the axe, Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, And, to be sure that is not false I swear, Nor aught so good but strain'd from that fair use Disgracing of these colours that I wear My lord, here is a note of certain dues. Even or odd, of all days in the year, In sooth, good friend, your father might have kept Sith priest and holy water are so near The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Once more to-day well met, distemper'd lords! MMMMCDLXXVII - "TENOUGHTOTORTU" The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Occasions, noble Gloucester, of some poise, Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Give it a plum, a cherry, and a fig: He, nor that affable familiar ghost To see great Hercules whipping a gig, Of old Sir Rowland! Why, what make you here? The town will rise: God's will, lieutenant, hold! On the unsteadfast footing of a spear. Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, That thus so madly thou didst answer me? Upon some book I love I'll pray for thee. MMMMCDLXXVIII - "REMEALONEBUTSL" Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Either of you to be the other's end. Must murder wives much better than themselves Each hath his place and function to attend: And yet not so, for what can we bequeath Like perspectives, which rightly gazed upon Of old I know them; rather with their teeth Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on: Except it be to pray against thy foes. But when in other habits you are seen, Upon whose faith and honour I repose. This to your Majesty; this to the Queen. Such is the lightness of you common men. Let's call more help to have them bound again. MMMMCDLXXIX - "AVETOSLAVERYMY" As if it had been sow'd. Yet still it's strange Values itself so highly that to her Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Three or four miles about, else had I, sir, O, what excuse will my poor beast then find, So from himself impiety hath wrought, Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, After the bloody fray at Wakefield fought, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Except some petty towns of no import: Reproach is stamp'd in Collatinus' face, Yet once again, to make us public sport, Making the wind my post-horse, still unfold Yet here they shall not lie, for catching cold. MMMMCDLXXX - "SWEETSTFRIENDM" Stigmatical in making, worse in mind. Women nearest; but men, men are the things Expect him here: when he shall come and find End in a word: such is the breath of kings. The senate's courtesy? Let deeds express So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench The mutiny he there hastes t' oppress; From forth the ranks of many thousand French, Rome shall record, and when I do forget I ne'er might say before. When I came back-- Else one self mate and mate could not beget Nay then, the wanton lies; my face is black. Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds My love shall hear the music of my hounds. MMMMCDLXXXI - "USTBEMEFROMMYS" Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Some necessaries that I needs must use, To leave a rich Jew's service, to become Be gone! I will not hear thy vain excuse; Employ'd you where high profits might come home, My soul is heavy, and I fain would sleep. Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Forth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep; Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; Of any constant man. What, worse and worse! My brother Troilus lodges there to-night: My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse. Yet, after all comparisons of truth, She is beholding to thee, gentle youth. MMMMCDLXXXII - "ELFTHYCRUELEYE" Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Leave off delays, and let us raise the siege. Found it too precious-princely for a grave. The fruits of love I mean, my loving liege. Have I enjoy'd the golden dew of sleep, Your mother lives a witness to that vow-- Cries out upon abuses, seems to weep Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard: Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Yet, to supply the ripe wants of my friend, Either of you to be the other's end. MMMMCDLXXXIII - "HATHTAKENANDMY" Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. And, Somerset, we'll commit thee thither, The time when screech-owls cry and ban-dogs howl, How didst thou 'scape? How camest thou hither? Though woe be heavy, yet it seldom sleeps, And Earl of Richmond; and this rich fair town Knock at his study, where, they say, he keeps, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Now, fair one, does your business follow us? And we, poor mates, stand on the dying deck, Now the witch take me, if I meant it thus! Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! Yet should both ear and heart obey my tongue. MMMMCDLXXXIV - "NEXTSELFTHOUHA" No; let my father seek another heir. Establish him in his true sense again, eXceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Thou with an eagle art inspired then. So from himself impiety hath wrought, Either withdraw unto some private place, Lo, as the bark, that hath discharged her fraught, First to my God and next unto your grace. That way inclining, harden'd be the hearts Haply a woman's voice may do some good, Obeying in commanding, and thy parts Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! Him: if you would not, it were a good sign Are meet for plucking up, and therefore mine. MMMMCDLXXXV - "RDERHASTENGROS" Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Exist, and be a member of his love Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. How came the noble Timon to this change? And often at his very loose decides She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, The current that with gentle murmur glides, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Nay, he must bear you company. The king Give me my steeled coat. I'll fight for France. Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! MMMMCDLXXXVI - "SDOFHIMMYSELFA" Strange images of death. As thick as hail Dear father, soul and substance of us all,-- Or else his head's assurance is but frail. For such proceeding I am charged withal, He wrings her nose, he strikes her on the cheeks, If there be rule in unity itself, Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks More free from motion, no, not Death himself Your breath first kindled the dead coal of wars Seal up your lips, and give no words but mum: Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Lend me your knees, and all my life to come For, sure, there's no converting of 'em: now And then pursue me as you draw your bow. MMMMCDLXXXVII - "NDTHEEIAMFORSA" Never did faithful subject more rejoice Deliver them, and your appeal to us To be new-varnish'd! Well, but to my choice: How often have I told you 'twould be thus! Each changing place with that which goes before, Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; If I hope well, I'll never see thee more. Although I think 'twas in another sense- Matter against me; and his eye reviled From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Of great revenue, and she hath no child: Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! She melted into air. Affrighted much, And know the office that belongs to such. MMMMCDLXXXVIII - "KENATORMENTTHR" Knocks go and come; God's vassals drop and die; Environed with all these hideous fears? No longer on Saint Denis will we cry, And wash him fresh again with true-love tears. This thou wouldst say: 'Your son did thus and thus; Ordained is to raise this tedious siege Rebuke and dread correction wait on us More health and happiness betide my liege Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Never to England shall he bear his life; Then say at once what thou dost know in this. That he is too familiar with his wife. Here feelingly she weeps Troy's painted woes: Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. MMMMCDLXXXIX - "ICETHREEFOLDTH" In things right true my heart and eyes have erred, Come, come, we are friends: let's have a dance ere Esteem him as a lamb, being compared There is my hand, and let it feel your ear. He has no children. All my pretty ones? Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Either of king or council, when you went For tubs and baths; bring down rose-cheeked youth Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, Lest I surcease to honour mine own truth Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, Having my country's peace and brothers' loves. MMMMCDXC - "USTOBECROSSDPR" Upon her nuptial vow, her loyalty, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough To stranger blood, to foreign royalty. One of thy eyes and thy cheek's side struck off! But thy eternal summer shall not fade Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Coucheth the fowl below with his wings' shade, Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands, Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love? Seek you to seize and gripe into your hands Disburse the sum on the receipt thereof: Painting thy outward walls so costly gay? Rail on the Lord's enointed: strike, I say! MMMMCDXCI - "ISONMYHEARTINT" I hope the king made peace with all of us Speak out thy sorrows which thou bring'st in haste, On me, that halt and am unshapen thus? Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Men's liking: and yet he would not swear; praised Yet do thy cheeks look red as Titan's face Her earnest eye did make him more amazed: Extinguishing his conduct in this case; As they had seen me with these hangman's hands. Rain added to a river that is rank The shrug, the hum or ha, these petty brands Is quite beyond mine arm, out of the blank Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Throw down, my son, the Duke of Norfolk's gage. MMMMCDXCII - "HYSTEELBOSOMSW" How can they then assist me in the act? Your grace shall pardon me, I will not back: Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, Thou'rt damn'd as black--nay, nothing is so black; Even in the presence of the crowned king. Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Like to the Garter's compass, in a ring: But did you not request to have it cut? Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! Seal up your lips, and give no words but mum: Or rather a disease that's in my flesh, My lord, your loving nephew now is come. Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk. MMMMCDXCIII - "ARDBUTTHENMYFR" About the wood go swifter than the wind, Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, But now will canker-sorrow eat my bud Upon the water as he'll stand and read That for thy mother's fault art thus exposed That he cried out 'twould be a sight indeed How covert matters may be best disclosed, Either withdraw unto some private place, Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their course My most dread sovereign, may it like your grace Yet, if that quarrel, fortune, do divorce For half a hundred years. Summon the town. Ride, ride, Messala: let them all come down. MMMMCDXCIV - "IENDSHEARTLETM" In his own conduct, purposely to take Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, Safety: you have been a great thief by sea. His subjects to oppression and contempt Endure the winter's cold as well as he: All that good time will give us: this attempt Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- The truest manner'd; such a holy witch Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, This is the last: so we will home to Rome, My haste is very great: farewell; hie home. MMMMCDXCV - "YPOORHEARTBAIL" You do impeach your modesty too much, Proclaims you for a man replete with mocks, O Buckingham, now do I play the touch, O, will you eat no grapes, my royal fox? Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Her father is no better than an earl, Empale him with your weapons round about; And fiends will snatch at it. Cold, cold, my girl! Reply not in how many fathoms deep That such a thing bechanced would make me sad? Bid Gloucester think of this, and he will weep. After these ways; so, it will make us mad. If thou wilt outstrip death, go cross the seas, Let's step into the shadow of these trees. MMMMCDXCVI - "WHOEERKEEPSMEL" Which was the model of that Danish seal; Heard where his plants in others' orchards grew, Of all treasons, we still see them reveal Engenders the black toad and adder blue, Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, Keep the wild flood confin'd! Let order die! Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack: England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Let dying Mortimer here rest himself. MMMMCDXCVII - "ETMYHEARTBEHIS" Else shall you not have any hand at all To Bedlam with him! is the man grown mad? Myself of many I am charged withal: You have no children, butchers! if you had, How they are stain'd, as meadows, yet not dry, Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die. Revenue, execution of the rest, The lands and waters 'twixt your throne and his But longer did we not retain much hope; Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Here comes the holy legate of the pope. It boots not to resist both wind and tide. Since the physician at your father's died? MMMMCDXCVIII - "GUARDTHOUCANST" Gramercy, lovely Lucius: what's the news? Upon the fortune of this present year: And they have served me to effectless use: Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Do the low-rated English play at dice; Then give me leave, for losers will have leave Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Or God will punish me. I do believe, Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Can task the free breath of a sacred king? And sets a blister there; makes marriage vows Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; So far in blood that sin will pluck on sin: Thou shalt have charge and sovereign trust herein. MMMMCDXCIX - "NOTTHENUSERIGO" No, I protest, I know not the contents; Of this most fair occasion, by the which That hath been breeder of these dire events. The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch, He doth unfasten so and shake a friend. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon No more; and by a sleep to say we end Under your hands and seals: therefore, go on: Successful fortune, steel thy melting heart Ensuing dangers; as by proof, we see Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part; I pardon him, as God shall pardon me. Gone! they went hence so soon as they were born: O, my dear lord, lo, where your son is borne! MMMMD - "RINMYGAOLANDYE" Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, I did suppose it should be on constraint: Now, good sweet nurse,--O Lord, why look'st thou sad? Madding my eagerness with her restraint, Your brother and his lover have embraced: Good morrow, sir. You lay out too much pains And I am nothing slow to slack his haste. Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Leave gormandizing; know the grave doth gape A letter, that she loves the knight of Tyre! Nay, master, both in mind and in my shape. Doth too too oft betake him to retire, You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. MMMMDI - "TTHOUWILTFORIB" That from their dark beds once more leap her eyes; The ship is in her trim; the merry wind He rais'd the house with loud and coward cries. O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. Why, lords, what wrongs are these! was ever seen Is all the policy, strength and defence, Lord Warwick, on thy shoulder will I lean; That had a royal lover, took his hint; For him, and in his right, we hold this town. O, I could hew up rocks and fight with flint, Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, I love thee not, therefore pursue me not. But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot? MMMMDII - "EINGPENTINTHEE" Either of you to be the other's end. I know what thorns the growing rose defends; No great offence belongs to't, give your friend God keep you from them, and from such false friends! Philip of France, if thou be pleased withal, Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, Nor, gentle daughter, fear you not at all. Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests I would attach you all and make you stoop Now am I like that proud insulting ship That the probation bear no hinge nor loop Her father hath commanded her to slip Else would he never so demean himself. England is safe, if true within itself? MMMMDIII - "PERFORCEAMTHIN" Puppet? why so? ay, that way goes the game. Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name-- Five men to twenty! though the odds be great, O, if, I say, you look upon this verse Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Could say she were worse: think you of a worse Empale him with your weapons round about; And bloody England into England gone, Mine own, nor any thing to any, if The Roman legions, all from Gallia drawn, Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff; I will make haste: but, till I come again, No rest be interposer 'twixt us twain. MMMMDIV - "EANDALLTHATISI" Expect your highness' doom of life or death. And rails, and swears, and rates, that she, poor soul, Now is my day's work done; I'll take good breath: Drag hence her husband to some secret hole, And when a woman woos, what woman's son Look you, I love you well; I'll give you gold, Lest it should ravel and be good to none, That time of year thou mayst in me behold He may surrender; so we shall proceed As made the things more rich. Their perfume lost, That he may never more false title plead, I am his first-born son, that was the last So rare a wonder'd father and a wife It shall not need; thy father hath his life. MMMMDV - "NMESONOWIHAVEC" Nothing but this! yes, as much love in rhyme Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves England ne'er had a king until his time. See, brother, see; note how she quotes the leaves. O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there, Now thy proud neck bears half my burthen'd yoke; O polish'd perturbation! golden care! What three things does drink especially provoke? I speak no more than what my soul intends; How that ambitious Constance would not cease And, in the hearing of these many friends, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Establish him in his true sense again, Could draw to part them, was stout Tybalt slain. MMMMDVI - "ONFESSDTHATHEI" O woe! thy canopy is dust and stones;-- Nature dispenses with the deed so far Full surfeits, and the dryness of his bones, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; She's so conjunctive to my life and soul So sick I am not, yet I am not well; Doth limp behind the substance. Here's the scroll, That of thy death and business I can tell. Harry the Fifth is crown'd. Up, vanity: And what love can do that dares love attempt; That I should seem to lack humanity He did solicit you in free contempt Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. I hope this reason stands for my excuse. MMMMDVII - "STHINEANDIMYSE" Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck The very tyranny and rage of his. He told me that rebellion had bad luck, I have the letter here; yes, here it is. Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, And your unthought-of Harry chance to meet. Never make known what you have seen to-night. Despoiled of your honour in your life, Is Clarence dead? the order was reversed. More like an empress than Duke Humphrey's wife: You know your own degrees; sit down: at first So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last.

Unless you can find sport in their intents, So then two bosoms and a single troth. Merely in hate, 'gainst any of us all, Of all mad matches, never was the like. Remember whom you are to cope withal; Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, The sweets we wish for turn to loathed sours He holds your temper in a high respect A thousand irreligious cursed hours, Nor construe any further my neglect, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Nothing of that shall from mine eyes appear.

MMMMDXLIV - "SWEETWILLMAKIN" She is a theme of honour and renown, Would thou wert clean enough to spit upon! Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Whereon with fearful eyes they long have gazed, I vow'd, base knight, when I did meet thee next, Look, how the world's poor people are amazed Let that one article rank with the rest; Methinks I should not thus be led along, And here's a lord,--come knights from east to west, King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, I oft found both: I urge this childhood proof, Nerissa and the rest, stand all aloof.

MMMMDXLVII - "LLISLARGEANDSP" Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Levy great sums of money through the realm I here confess myself the king of Tyre; Stanley did dream the boar did raze his helm; Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, And make your bondmen tremble. Must I budge? Rather than render back, out with your knives, Gave it a judge's clerk! no, God's my judge, Eater of youth, false slave to false delight, And therefore yet relent, and save my life. Noble patricians, patrons of my right, Denied my house for his, me for his wife. So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand, Prince John, your son, doth kiss your Grace's hand.

O, none but unthrifts! Dear my love, you know No, thou stand'st single, thou'rt not on him yet. Cheeks neither red nor pale, but mingled so Else you may be marvellously mistook. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. MMMMDXLIX - "OUCHSAFETOHIDE" O, all you gods! O pretty, pretty pledge! Upbraided me about the rose I wear; Chiron, thy years want wit, thy wit wants edge, Hath fear'd the valiant: by my love I swear So thrive I, as I truly swear the like! And therefore take this compact of a truce, Fortune had left to both of us alike Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. To match us in comparisons with dirt, O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb Having no more but thought of what thou wert, I know not how to tell thee who I am: Didst thou but know the inly touch of love, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMMMDL - "MYWILLINTHINES" More sharper than your swords, hie to the field: Your master will be dead ere you return; What he will do: but if he will not yield, I have a sonnet that will serve the turn La main, de hand; les doigts, de fingres.

MMMMDLI - "HALLWILLINOTHE" Have you perused the letters from the pope, As Humphrey, proved by reasons, to my liege. Lord Saturnine; whose virtues will, I hope, Leave off delays, and let us raise the siege.

Brothers both, It were no less; but yet I'll make a pause. Now is that noble vessel full of grief, O thou fond many, with what loud applause That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief: Hearing of your arrival in this realm, Enrings the barky fingers of the elm.

Master Brook, thou shalt know I Came more and more and fought on part and part, Embowell'd will I see thee by and by: Pity may move thee 'pardon' to rehearse. There's law and warrant, lady, for my curse. MMMMDLV - "ANCESHINETHESE" As fast as they are made, forgot as soon Not wagging his sweet head; and yet as rough, Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.

Is he so hasty that he doth suppose Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Till after many accents and delays, Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn.

Here she stands; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Souls out of one weaver? shall we do that? Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: And his disciples only envy at, If thou be'st yet a fresh uncropped flower, No bitterness that I will bitter think, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? That, like the sun, did make beholders wink? I offer'd to awaken his regard Let us have knowledge at the court of guard. MMMMDLVIII - "LANDINABUNDANC" Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke As if the boy should use like loving charms; Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke Defend the justice of my cause with arms, Is sweet. Nay, you shall fight your hearts out ere Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, And give some evening music to her ear. But, cousin, what if we assay'd to steal Upon the head of valour; which indeed Not any, but abide the change of time, Do so: and let no man abide this deed, And thou art flying to a fresher clime: Now was she just before him as he sat, Could all but answer for that peevish brat? MMMMDLIX - "EADDETHTOHISST" Each hath his place and function to attend: And of their feather many more proud birds, Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? Delivered up again with peaceful words? Each in his office ready at thy beck. To take the basest and most poorest shape Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, The bloody proclamation to escape Or with some dram conjured to this effect, He finds the joys of heaven here on earth; In having much, torments us with defect Steeples and moss-grown towers. At your birth Say that you love me not; but say not so That thou shalt like an airy spirit go. MMMMDLX - "ORESOTHOUBEING" Open as day for melting charity; Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; She'ld come again, and with a greedy ear O, not to-day, think not upon the fault Thou wilt be taken. Stay awhile! Stand up; How now! what means death in this rude assault? O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Upward of twenty years, and have been blest Between whose endless jar justice resides, Excepting one, I would he were the best If I know this, know all the world besides, Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their course Give me my boots, I say; saddle my horse. MMMMDLXI - "RICHINWILLADDT" Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. In wrongful quarrel you have slain your son. Could say she were worse: think you of a worse Hath this brave manage, this career, been run. It suffers not in smiling pomp, nor falls Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Within the guilty closure of thy walls I shall attend your leisure: but make haste; Look, as the full-fed hound or gorged hawk, Let me put in your minds, if you forget, As strange unto your town as to your talk; Drew to defend him when he was beset: Die neither mother, wife, nor England's queen! That honourable day shall ne'er be seen. MMMMDLXII - "OTHYWILLONEWIL" Obey, audacious traitor; kneel for grace. Thou fumblest, Eros; and my queen's a squire Here on this grass-plot, in this very place, You shall not need, my fellow peers of Tyre, We'll consecrate the steps that Ajax makes It must be great that can inherit us Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Like Muscovites or Russians, as I guess. Or half her worthiness that gave the ring, Now, by my George, my garter, and my crown,-- Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Which here we came to spout against your town, It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity, Leaving thee living in posterity? MMMMDLXIII - "LOFMINETOMAKET" Lest that it make me so unsound a man Or ill-beseeming beast in seeming both! Fortunes: his grace hath made the match, and an My Lord of Burgundy, we'll take your oath, I conjure thee but slowly; run more fast. Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws, Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick, My name is Constance; I was Geffrey's wife; And made an evening at the noontide prick. Kneeling before this ruin of sweet life, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, To blush and beautify the cheek again. MMMMDLXIV - "HYLARGEWILLMOR" Hold you content. What, man! I know them, yea, Yonder comes news. A wager they have met. Lay not thy hands on me; forbear, I say; And therefore I forbid my tears; but yet Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Good parts aside I have no other charms. Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Whose nature is so far from doing harms In way of marriage: therefore be advised. Lord Titus, by your leave, this maid is mine. Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: My house, mine honour, yea, my life, be thine, Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents, Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. MMMMDLXV - "ELETNOUNKINDNO" Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Lord Warwick, on thy shoulder will I lean; England we love; and for that England's sake To lesson me and tell me some good mean Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Of all the gentry; for the most part such Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. No, no, my lord, your grace is perjured much, Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair, If Marcus did not name the word of hands! No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there. Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands No? then I well perceive you all not nigh Other men fitter to go out than I. MMMMDLXVI - "FAIRBESEECHERS" For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause, An you re us and fa us, you note us. Indeed we heard how near his death he was Resolvedly more leisure shall express: Becomes not Titus' brother: get thee gone: Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Confirm'd, confirm'd! O, that is stronger made Had not their bark been very slow of sail; Each present lord began to promise aid, Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Shall I return this answer to the king? MMMMDLXVII - "KILLTHINKALLBU" Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? If I do fail in fortune of my choice, Like a right gipsy, hath, at fast and loose, Lies my consent and fair according voice. Therefore your best appointment make with speed; Hold thee, there's my purse: I give thee not this I'll then nor give nor hazard aught for lead. No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. Kinsmen, shoot all your shafts into the court: And whatsoever cunning fiend it was Lest my remembrance suffer ill report; Let me have time and counsel for my cause: Back to the strait that forced him on so fast; Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. MMMMDLXVIII - "TONEANDMEINTHA" This was the most unkindest cut of all; Of the duke's confessor, John de la Car, No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call; Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; And with the vantage of mine own excuse Not unconsider'd leave your honour, nor Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. My tongue shall hush again this storm of war Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; I know her father, though I know not her; Nay, never lay thy hand upon thy sword; Thither must I, and here I leave you, sir. How I came by the crown, O God, forgive; And grant it may with thee in true peace live! MMMMDLXIX - "TONEWILLIFTHYS" To lie in cold obstruction and to rot; O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. Near or far off, well won is still well shot, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet What, would you have my weapon, little lord? I will requite you with as good a thing; Lo, here I lend thee this sharp-pointed sword; Like little frosts that sometime threat the spring, I have no more to reckon, he to spend. For such things in a false disloyal knave The law that threaten'd death becomes thy friend Hath yielded up his body to the grave; Yet have I heard,--O, could I find it now!-- Sent thee thither. For debt, Pompey? or how? MMMMDLXX - "OULCHEQUETHEET" O, I could play the woman with mine eyes Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies; Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Here with a sigh, as if her heart would break, Else you may be marvellously mistook. Quiet untroubled soul, awake, awake! Under an osier growing by a brook, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. To love a cheek that smiles at thee in scorn! Here comes a man; let's stay till he be past. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. That will forsake thee and go home in peace. MMMMDLXXI - "HATICOMESONEAR" Hang'd in the frowning wrinkle of her brow! And question this most bloody piece of work, Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now; In faith, I gave it to the judge's clerk: Can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth O, what a rash and bloody deed is this! My Lord of Burgundy, we'll take your oath, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Sweet rest his soul! Fly, lords, and save yourselves; Or, wing'd with fervor of her love, she's flown Nothing but jollity. The gods themselves, Each man apart, all single and alone, And that same dew, which sometime on the buds Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods! MMMMDLXXII - "SWEARTOTHYBLIN" She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, Which if we find outweighs ability, Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange And such high vaunts of his nobility, Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, The next news is, I have to London sent O, let us have him, for his silver hairs To punish them; although not done, but meant. His sons he there proclaim'd the kings of kings: You must contrary me! marry, 'tis time. Both meet to hear and answer such high things. Leaving their earthly parts to choke your clime, In troops I have dispersed them 'bout the isle. Now, Falstaff, where have you been all this while? MMMMDLXXIII - "DSOULTHATIWAST" Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live So may the outward shows be least themselves: Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Lord Clifford vows to fight in thy defence: That makes him gasp and stare and catch the air, How churlishly I chid Lucetta hence, And from his bosom purge this black despair! That the probation bear no hinge nor loop If for the last, say ay, and to it, lords. Would it not shame thee in so fair a troop Advance your standards, draw your willing swords. Speak not you for him; he's a traitor. Come; Then Clarence is at hand, I hear his drum. MMMMDLXXIV - "HYWILLANDWILLT" How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; Your exposition on the holy text Whiles you are willing it shall come to note, Impaired, but all disordered. Who is next? Losing both beauty and utility. Liege of all loiterers and malcontents, And such high vaunts of his nobility, No, I protest, I know not the contents; Discredit more in hiding of the fault With good old folks and let them tell thee tales I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault, Les ongles? nous les appelons de nails. Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse There's law and warrant, lady, for my curse. MMMMDLXXV - "HYSOULKNOWSISA" His folly to the mettle of my speech? You'll find it wholesome. Lo, where comes that rock See what I do deliver out to each, Our scions, put in wild and savage stock, Upon whose age we void it up again, Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. Kill me outright with looks and rid my pain. Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Of this escape and whither they are bound; With words, fair looks and liberality? Send out more horses; skirr the country round; In thy despite shall 'scape mortality. So, thanks to all at once and to each one, And death approach not ere my tale be done. MMMMDLXXVI - "DMITTEDTHERETH" Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Must we pursue, and I have found the path. It is a thing I made, which hath the king The spirit of deep prophecy she hath, Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Did, with his iron tongue and brazen mouth, To those which would not know them, and yet must Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. Environ you, till mischief and despair Rather than render back, out with your knives, Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. Thus got the house of Lancaster the crown. Here by the cheeks I'll drag thee up and down. MMMMDLXXVII - "USFARFORLOVEMY" Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, Slaver with lips as common as the stairs False justicer, why hast thou let her scape? And with the southern clouds contend in tears, Remuneration for the thing it was; Fortune had left to both of us alike O lady, weep no more, lest I give cause Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick, Values itself so highly that to her Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; My twelve months are expired, and Tyrus stands Your legs did better service than your hands. MMMMDLXXVIII - "LOVESUITSWEETF" Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet. O thou untaught! what manners is in this? Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: It did not speak before. All solemn things Therefore my mistress' brows are raven black, Small things make base men proud: this villain here, With some more ducats, and be with you straight. Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Therefore I shall beseech you, if you please Feed arrogance and are the proud man's fees. MMMMDLXXIX - "ULFILWILLWILLF" Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Lead off this ground; and let's make further search From forth the fatal loins of these two foes If ever been where bells have knoll'd to church, Larding the plain; and by his bloody side, Will want true colour- tears perchance for blood. I am not bid to wait upon this bride. Leap in with me into this angry flood, Let them not live to taste this land's increase Was fairer than his grandam and as chaste I'll murder all his wardrobe, piece by piece, Let your breath cool yourself, telling your haste. Look pale as primrose with blood-drinking sighs, Find written in the margent of his eyes. MMMMDLXXX - "ULFILTHETREASU" Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? Lo, as the bark, that hath discharged her fraught, For truth's sake and his conscience; that his bones, I did not: he was but a fool that brought Losing her woes in shows of discontent. This done, he took the bride about the neck, How say you, my lord? are you not content? Each in his office ready at thy beck. The cruel issue of these bloody men; Remember so weak a composition. Establish him in his true sense again, A ragged and forestall'd remission. Sometimes her arms infold him like a band: Up- so. How is't? Feel you your legs? You stand. MMMMDLXXXI - "REOFTHYLOVEAYF" Rather than render back, out with your knives, Each in his office ready at thy beck. O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Falls not the axe upon the humbled neck That they have murder'd this poor heart of mine; He had of me a chain: at five o'clock Yea, and much better blood than his or thine. Lady, give me your hand, and, as we walk, One that still motions war and never peace, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Ay, but I hope your highness shall have his. Yet let her be a principality, Foretell the ending of mortality. MMMMDLXXXII - "ILLITFULLWITHW" I am not sick, if Brutus have in hand Like a milch doe, whose swelling dugs do ache, Lord of his fortunes he salutes thee, and I have to use: thy frank election make; Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, For native blood is counted painting now; Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou Let us go thank him, and encourage him; Will do's commission throughly: and I think If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim: Th'art a tall fellow; hold thee that to drink. Here tend the savage strangeness he puts on, Was ever woman in this humour won? MMMMDLXXXIII - "ILLSANDMYWILLO" It were a better death than die with mocks, Live thou, I live: with much, much more dismay Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And go indeed, having so good a mean. Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth Deliver up my title in the queen My body shall make good upon this earth, Yon island carrions, desperate of their bones, Will I make good against thee, arm to arm, I throw thy name against the bruising stones, Like to a tenement or pelting farm: Like empty purses pick'd; and his poor self, Of virtue was she; yea, and she herself. MMMMDLXXXIV - "NEINTHINGSOFGR" Nothing is good, I see, without respect: Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, If haply you my father do suspect Now, France, thy glory droopeth to the dust. To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Had so much grace to put it in my mind. I'll get me one of such another length. None can be call'd deform'd but the unkind: Go we, as well as haste will suffer us, Stay, stand apart; I know not which is which. Of that and all the progress, more or less, For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich; Give Richard leave to live till Richard die? Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. MMMMDLXXXV - "EATRECEIPTWITH" Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: And after seem to chide 'em. This shall make Takes from his high respect: thither Macduff Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Courageously to pluck him from his horse. Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. I thought to crush him in an equal force, Perchance some single vantages you took. Though forfeiters you cast in prison, yet What's he that hath so much thy place mistook I'll pay that doctrine, or else die in debt. The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge How much thou wrong'st me, heaven be my judge. MMMMDLXXXVI - "EASEWEPROVEAMO" Each one demand an answer to his part Ay, and amid this hurly I intend Swear me, Kate, like a lady as thou art, Each hath his place and function to attend: With all appliances and means to boot, Equal in lustre, were now best, now worst, Pay recompense, if you will grant my suit. Remove you hence. I knew you at the first O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: My father, as nurse said, did never fear, On your broad main doth wilfully appear. MMMMDLXXXVII - "NGANUMBERONEIS" No malice, sir; no more than well becomes Give me some music. Now, good morrow, friends. And woo her with some spirit when she comes. No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Upon the fortune of this present year: Most certain of one mother, mighty king; But yet I would your father had been here. Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Not better than he, by her own report. Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, If love ambitious sought a match of birth, Sole monarch of the universal earth. MMMMDLXXXVIII - "RECKONDNONETHE" Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Edward and Clarence. O, what cause have I, Comes at the last and with a little pin Knocks go and come; God's vassals drop and die; Or worthily, as a good subject should, No, noble Titus, but entreat of thee Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, Now, go thy way. Faintness constraineth me O, this it is that makes your lady mourn! Now welcome more, and ten times more beloved, End in one purpose, and be all well borne To eat those little darlings whom they loved. Him, thinkest thou? And what has he sent now? Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MMMMDLXXXIX - "NINTHENUMBERLE" Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. It is to jet upon a prince's right? Never to part with it; and here he stands; To wake the morn and sentinel the night, Hath drops too few to wash her clean again Edward and Richard, you shall stay with me; No rest be interposer 'twixt us twain. Unworthy though thou art, I'll cope with thee Meantime look gracious on thy prostrate thrall. But thou art all my art and dost advance Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Reignier, her father, to the king of France Let's want no discipline, make no delay, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MMMMDXC - "TMEPASSUNTOLDT" The deep-green emerald, in whose fresh regard Men, more divine, the masters of all these, Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Put on what weary negligence you please, As 'twere retail'd to all posterity, Shall daub her lips with her own children's blood; Sir, in good faith, in sincere verity, Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; Now climbeth Tamora Olympus' top, To entertain great England's lawful king. Open your ears; for which of you will stop Lies at the mercy of his mortal sting. Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, Though not for me, yet for your aching bones. MMMMDXCI - "HOUGHINTHYSTOR" Hath told the thievish minutes how they pass, O thou well skill'd in curses, stay awhile, Upright he held it, lords, that held it last. Great Mars, I put myself into thy file: He's bravely taken here. He stole from France, Inclined to this intelligence, pronounce Nay, then 'tis time to stir him from his trance. The dearer by I know how much an ounce. Here tend the savage strangeness he puts on, Your grace attended to their sugar'd words, So fought, so followed, and so fairly won, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Of Pericles, to rage the city turn, Rather than make unprofited return. MMMMDXCII - "ESACCOUNTIONEM" Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp As he was coming from this churchyard side. Come weep with me; past hope, past cure, past help! Cries out upon abuses, seems to weep Or if you cannot weep, yet give some groans, Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, That never relish'd of a base descent. Is not inured; return again in haste; Or nature makes me suddenly relent. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Making another head to fight again. MMMMDXCIII - "USTBEFORNOTHIN" Upon his compass'd crest now stand on end; So old and white as this! O! O! 'tis foul! To hate young Valentine and love my friend. By uproar sever'd, like a flight of fowl Each one demand an answer to his part Far in the fresh lap of the crimson rose, O horror, horror, horror! Tongue nor heart Retain that dear perfection which he owes Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, Or any groat I hoarded to my use, To make him moan; but pity not his moans: Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, I would have made them skip. I am old now, Nor wittingly have I infringed my vow. MMMMDXCIV - "GHOLDMESOITPLE" God save the king! Will no man say amen? Have I not reason, think you, to look pale? O momentary grace of mortal men, Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. Did I impale him with the regal crown? My discretion so weakly. Will you laugh Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. Shall seize one half his goods; the other half One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, To seal her father's eyes up close as oak- Pale, pale as ashes, all bedaub'd in blood, Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MMMMDXCV - "ASETHEEHOLDTHA" Awaked an evil nature; and my trust, Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: How I convey my shame out of thine eyes Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, He doth fill fields with harness in the realm, Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, Look, whom she best endow'd she gave the more; Does it not, thinks't thee, stand me now upon- To bend the fatal instruments of war Her father is no better than an earl, And fiends will snatch at it. Cold, cold, my girl! MMMMDXCVI - "TNOTHINGMEASOM" The leisure and enforcement of the time Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb The truth of this appear. Prepare you, lords; He is prepared, and reason too he should: If she come in, she'll sure speak to my wife: Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood, Go quick away; the story of my life My sober house. By Jacob's staff, I swear, Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. And this is he was his adopted heir. So far from home into my deeds to pry, O, God defend me! how am I beset! My very worthy cousin, fairly met! MMMMDXCVII - "ETHINGSWEETTOT" Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Than doth become a man. I will remain How insolent of late he is become, I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again: Now in his life, against your holy oath? Give it a plum, a cherry, and a fig: So newly join'd in love, so strong in both, Why he cannot abide a gaping pig; Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Except some petty towns of no import: Therefore to give them from me was I bold, That would behold in me this shameful sport. Of thy dear husband, than that horrid act They say, poor gentleman, he's much distract. MMMMDXCVIII - "HEEMAKEBUTMYNA" He held such petty bondage in disdain; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Establish him in his true sense again, My master and his man are both broke loose, And for his safety there I'll best devise. King Cerberus; and let the welkin roar. Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice But just a pound of flesh: if thou cut'st more Unless thou tell'st me where thou hadst this ring, The which if He be pleased I shall perform, More relative than this. The play's the thing Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, And leave your children, wives and you in peace. MMMMDXCIX - "METHYLOVEANDLO" My husband bids me; now I will unmask. Either of king or council, when you went Thou tremblest at, answer that I shall ask; How say you, madam, are ye so content? Yea, this solidity and compound mass, Lucy, farewell; no more my fortune can, Or four and twenty times the pilot's glass Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet And, for I should not deal in her soft laws, Not paying me a welcome. Trust me, sweet, Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, Look to't, think on't, I do not use to jest. Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest. MMMMDC - "VETHATSTILLAND" Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, That had not half a week to go, like rams How now, my lord! what hap? what hope of good? A cloak as long as thine will serve the turn? Their harness studded all with gold and pearl. So that by this intelligence we learn This foolish, dreaming, superstitious girl Into your idle over-handled theme: Like to a tenement or pelting farm: Levied an army, weening to redeem Ay, to such mercy as his ruthless arm, Now forth, lord constable and princes all, Did to his predecessors part withal. MMMMDCI - "THENTHOULOVEST" That ever holds: who riseth from a feast Hang on her temples like a golden fleece; Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, They love me well; yet I have much to do Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Of thy misprision must perforce ensue Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Like bright things stain'd, a kind of heavy fear. Opens his vasty jaws; and on your head Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. So long as youth and thou are of one date; Trim gallants, full of courtship and of state. MMMMDCII - "MEFORMYNAMEISW" Methinks your maw, like mine, should be your clock, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. For now I stand as one upon a rock O, tell me how it is; for ne'er till now Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, My friend is dead; 'tis done at your request: Yet I not doing this, the fool had borne Now one the better, then another best; And on his father's; we did train him on, My wretchedness unto a row of pins, Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Inconstancy falls off ere it begins. Shall outstrike thought: but thought will do't, I feel. With hard bright steel and hearts harder than steel. MMMMDCIII - "ILLTHOUBLINDFO" It is the cry of women, my good lord. Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: Love give me strength! and strength shall help afford. Treason, my lord! Lavinia is surprised! Hie you, make haste, for it grows very late. On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Upon some present business of the state But that I did proceed upon just grounds Like fragments in hard voyages, became I have no will to wander forth of doors, Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? Discredit my authority with yours; First, in this forest let us do those ends Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. MMMMDCIV - "OLLOVEWHATDOST" O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Let me have men about me that are fat; Left and abandoned of his velvet friends: Of any thing the image tell me that Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Every man shift for all the rest, and When he was by, the birds such pleasure took, Heat me these irons hot; and look thou stand As with a club, dash out my desperate brains? Thy sin's not accidental, but a trade. Destroy'd his country, and his name remains Of that which hath so faithfully been paid. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Thou map of woe, that thus dost talk in signs! MMMMDCV - "THOUTOMINEEYES" The sum of all I can, I have disclosed; He goes before me and still dares me on: Of things to come at large. It is supposed Unto the climate that they point upon. This and my food are equals; there's no odds: O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! My lords, you know, as know the mightful gods, I give him you, the noblest that survives, Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord. Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. Empale him with your weapons round about; So thin that life looks through, and will break out. MMMMDCVI - "THATTHEYBEHOLD" That villain Hubert told me he did live. Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere And your sweet semblance to some other give. This dismal cry rings sadly in her ear, Take this of me: Lucrece was not more chaste Heard you of nothing strange about the streets? Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Yea, like the stag, when snow the pasture sheets, By which the world's best garden be achieved, Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Ha! little honour to be much believed, Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath Like to a lonely dragon, that his fen Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. MMMMDCVII - "ANDSEENOTWHATT" A light condition in a beauty dark. No; God forbid your grace should be forsworn. Did I not bid thee meet me in the park Shall feel this day as sharp to them as thorn. Excepting one, I would he were the best Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard Now, by my father's badge, old Nevil's crest, O my good lord, the world is but a word: The cedar stoops not to the base shrub's foot, Were nice and lucky, men did ransom lives How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? And his enforcement of the city wives; Tying thine ear to no tongue but thine own! Though Paris came in hope to speed alone. MMMMDCVIII - "HEYSEETHEYKNOW" Here's Mistress Quickly, sir, to speak with you. Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Yet, though thou stand'st more sure than I could do, Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Thou saw'st them, when I had prosperity. He that hath suffer'd this disorder'd spring Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. You shall outlive the lady whom you serve. Kneel down before him, hang upon his gown: No doubt they rose up early to observe Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms, Warwick is hoarse with calling thee to arms. MMMMDCIX - "WHATBEAUTYISSE" Which is not tomb enough and continent How use doth breed a habit in a man! And put on sullen black incontinent: Therefore no more turn me to him, sweet Nan. By heaven, all dry-beaten with pure scoff! Edward and York; then haply she will weep: And so I say, I'll cut the causes off, Untied I still my virgin knot will keep. They had such courage and audacity? Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, In least speak most, to my capacity. Since I am charged in honour and by him So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. MMMMDCX - "EWHEREITLIESYE" Even like a man new haled from the rack, What well-appointed leader fronts us here? He said mine eyes were black, and my hair black, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Either thou art most ignorant by age, I know not how to tell thee who I am: To say this boy were like me. Come, sir page, Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his I know thy constellation is right apt Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, Your son's my father's friend; he takes his part. Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMMMDCXI - "TWHATTHEBESTIS" To run upon the sharp wind of the north, Walk, and be cheerful once again; reserve He did, my lord, four days ere I set forth; A subtle knave! but yet it shall not serve. The mellow plum doth fall, the green sticks fast, To know what willing ransom he will give. Harp not on that string, madam; that is past. Even for this let us divided live, But always resolute in most extremes. Exception bid him speak, and at this time Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams; To use my wings. Impute it not a crime I will come last. 'Tis like he'll question me Say what thou canst, I'll go along with thee. MMMMDCXII - "TAKETHEWORSTTO" Thyself a queen, for me that was a queen, Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; To play with mammets and to tilt with lips: Hast thou forgot thyself? is it so long? Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: When have I injured thee? when done thee wrong? O, that that earth which kept the world in awe Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which Since that my case is past the help of law. Thou art a soldier, therefore seldom rich; To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails, Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales. MMMMDCXIII - "BEIFEYESCORRUP" Because I cannot flatter and speak fair, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. I take it up; and by that sword I swear For him, and in his right, we hold this town. Else would he never so demean himself. Yet so he ruled and such a prince he was England is safe, if true within itself? See where he is, who's with him, what he does: Come on, come on; where is your boar-spear, man? O boy, thy father gave thee life too soon, Reprove my allegation, if you can; Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Upward of twenty years, and have been blest Perhaps she cull'd it from among the rest. MMMMDCXIV - "TBYOVERPARTIAL" To honour Helen and to be her knight! Began to scold and raise up such a storm You shall not be admitted to his sight. Or take his life there: this if she perform, Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Pluck a red rose from off this thorn with me. And that would set my teeth nothing on edge, Return'd so soon! rather approach'd too late: The roughest berry on the rudest hedge; It hath been taught us from the primal state, And with what danger, near the heart of it. Lords, give us leave: I'll try this widow's wit. MMMMDCXV - "LOOKSBEANCHORD" Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath Out, devil! I remember them too well: O, thou, whose wounds become hard-favour'd death, Keep in a little life? Poor Jack, farewell! Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Be left her to perform. Come, follow us; England did never owe so sweet a hope, And I have heard it said, unbidden guests Neighbour, well met: whither away so fast? Command the health of it? No, thou proud dream, How often said, my dignity would last Of such possessions, and so high esteem, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Doth Fortune play the huswife with me now? MMMMDCXVI - "INTHEBAYWHEREA" I never spake bad word, nor did ill turn Nathaniel's coat, sir, was not fully made, That him and his they in his palace burn; Hangs one that gathers sampire- dreadful trade! Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: But many thousand reasons hold me back. And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold. Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. Whilst that this shadow doth such substance give Have leave and leisure to make love to her, Even for this let us divided live, Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Against the Greeks that would have enter'd Troy. MMMMDCXVII - "LLMENRIDEWHYOF" Live, and beget a happy race of kings! Let them not live to taste this land's increase Met I my father with his bleeding rings, Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, If to preserve this vessel for my lord Doth noise abroad, Navarre hath made a vow, Each in his office ready at thy beck. While we pursued the horsemen of the north, Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, Your honour has through Ephesus pour'd forth O, tell me, did you see Aaron the Moor? For then she never looks upon her lure. MMMMDCXVIII - "EYESFALSEHOODH" England we love; and for that England's sake York cannot speak, unless he wear a crown. Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Shakes the old beldam earth and topples down Found yet moe letters sadly penn'd in blood, And I, the hapless male to one sweet bird, Leap in with me into this angry flood, Say she be mute, and will not speak a word; Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe, O, on my soul, my cousin is belied! Of what hath come to pass: for when she saw-- Dissembling villain, thou speak'st false in both. Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. MMMMDCXIX - "ASTTHOUFORGEDH" Ay, sir; but she will none, she gives you thanks. So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? To crouch in litter of your stable planks, That can assure my daughter greatest dower Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Or nourish'd him as I did with my blood, Unless you call it good to pity him, Fair ladies mask'd are roses in their bud; Once touch my shoulder. Great the slaughter is Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send Here must I stay, and here my life must end. MMMMDCXX - "OOKSWHERETOTHE" Of old Sir Rowland! Why, what make you here? Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. Kind uncle York, the latest news we hear Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends. Welcome, my gracious lord; welcome, dread queen; Hath nature that in time will venom breed, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. England we love; and for that England's sake Their clearer reason. O good Gonzalo, Only this proof I'll of thy valour make, Things that are hollow: thy bones are hollow; Have sent to thee, to receive the meed of Except thou wilt except against my love. MMMMDCXXI - "JUDGMENTOFMYHE" Jove shield your husband from his hounds to-day! Uncertain way of gain! But I am in Dissolve, thick cloud, and rain; that I may say, Give me superfluous death. A noise within. Meantime, forget this new-fall'n dignity, Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Nor wrong mine age with this indignity. Than let him so be lost. O most kind maid, O, let me suffer, being at your beck, From whence that tender spray did sweetly spring, Moved with compassion of my country's wreck, Yes, that thou didst: didst thou see any thing? He never would have stay'd in France so long. Else had she with her father rang'd along. MMMMDCXXII - "ARTISTIEDWHYSH" A subtle knave! but yet it shall not serve. Remembers me of all his gracious parts, The people fear me; for they do observe I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts: Some that will thank you, making just report That which so often you did bid me steal. I with the morning's love have oft made sport, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, Whilst I alone did call upon thy aid, Hang 'em, slaves! I do not think the knight would Your lady's love against some other maid Some ditch wherein to die; the foul'st best fits Have scared thy husband from the use of wits. MMMMDCXXIII - "OULDMYHEARTTHI" O kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! Until four hundred one and twenty years Let us not live in France; let us quit all Doth Arthur live? O, haste thee to the peers, Make verbal repetition of her moans; You, gracious couple, do: and then I lost-- His form and cause conjoin'd, preaching to stones, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. At last, a little shaking of mine arm, Reason becomes the marshal to my will The loss of such a lord includes all harm. This day I'll rise, or else add ill to ill. His favour is familiar to me. Boy, I'll stand to-day for thee and me and Troy. MMMMDCXXIV - "NKTHATASEVERAL" Nature and Fortune join'd to make thee great: Kent, sir, the banish'd Kent; who in disguise The more I hear and see just cause of hate? Here burns my candle out; ay, here it dies, And then I would no other company. Their ragged curtains poorly are let loose, And shall, or him we will accompany. Shall be the war that Henry means to use. Enough to purchase what you have made known. Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; As if the boy should use like loving charms; Lavinia, thou shalt be employ'd: these arms! MMMMDCXXV - "PLOTWHICHMYHEA" Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; Love is too young to know what conscience is; Or as a moat defensive to a house, That damned brawn shall play Dame Mortimer his Were they at wars. It is but eight years since How wildly then walks my estate in France! I long with all my heart to see the prince: Cheerly to sea; the signs of war advance: Hold, hurt him not, for God's sake! he is mad. More measure of this measure; be not nice. You have no children, butchers! if you had, His blessed part to heaven, and slept in peace. Engenders the black toad and adder blue, And live no more to shame nor me nor you. MMMMDCXXVI - "RTKNOWSTHEWIDE" Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Till the high fever seethe your blood to froth, Knowing thy heart torments me with disdain, Not wind? it shall, it must; you see it doth. O my good lord, when I was like this maid, Wont, through a secret grate of iron bars Some two months hence my will shall here be made: The bass is right; 'tis the base knave that jars. His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; What incidency thou dost guess of harm If not, elsewhere they meet with charity; Durst make too bold a herald of my tongue Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMMMDCXXVII - "WORLDSCOMMONPL" Who is as free from touch or soil with her Off with my boots, you rogues! you villains, when? Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Let her awhile be secretly kept in, Drowned; and these are devils: O defend me! So puts himself unto the shipman's toil, Changed to a worser shape thou canst not be. Of my boy's face, methoughts I did recoil May now perchance both quake and tremble here, Mad as the sea and wind when both contend O, 'twas a din to fright a monster's ear, Not for my life: but yet I dare defend Plead on her part some cause to you unknown: Likely in time to bless a regal throne. MMMMDCXXVIII - "ACEORMINEEYESS" As surfeit is the father of much fast, Can I do this, and cannot get a crown? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last.

No, good madam; I will not out of doors. Even in the presence of the crowned king. Else you may be marvellously mistook. You would have them always play but one thing? Eight and nine is the hour, Master Brook. She was beloved, she loved; she is, and doth: So then two bosoms and a single troth. MMMMDCXXIX - "EEINGTHISSAYTH" Even for this let us divided live, Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: I wish your enterprise to-day may thrive. Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, Gentle thou art and therefore to be won, Thanks, Reignier, happy for so sweet a child, Hark, canst thou hear me? I will play the swan. In peace was never gentle lamb more mild, Stand by me, Lucius; do not fear thine aunt. So says the prince and my new-trothed lord. Ay, what of that? it was my will and grant; Your creatures, who by you have been restored: The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt How show'd his tasking? seem'd it in contempt? MMMMDCXXX - "ISISNOTTOPUTFA" I am content: provide me soldiers, lords, Say who art thou that lately didst descend It seem'd they would debate with angry swords. She twits me with my falsehood to my friend; Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays? Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, To entertain my vows of thanks and praise! That him and his they in his palace burn; O, one too much by thee! Why had I one? Pursue him to his house, and pluck him thence: Up in the air, crown'd with the golden sun, To fetch my poor distracted husband hence.

Besides, it were a mock Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad Upon a time,--unhappy was the clock Peaceful commerce from dividable shores, Opinion, that did help me to the crown, No, good madam; I will not out of doors. She is a theme of honour and renown, O, then, what graces in my love do dwell, For he is just and always loved us well. MMMMDCXXXII - "OULAFACEINTHIN" O, this is full of pity! Sir, it calls, Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks Lives not this day within the city walls: And of his friends there, it is lots to blanks, Feast-finding minstrels, tuning my defame, And now forthwith shall articles be drawn Come, come, dispatch; 'tis bootless to exclaim. Envenom him with words, or get thee gone I would not wed her for a mine of gold. No longer yours than you yourself here live: That poor retention could not so much hold, Henry is dead and never shall revive: If you deny to dance, let's hold more chat. Nay, but ask my opinion too of that. MMMMDCXXXIII - "GSRIGHTTRUEMYH" Gramercies, lad. Go forward; this contents; Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds- Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, Good Master Fenton, come not to my child. Have I in conquest stretch'd mine arm so far, This palpable-gross play hath well beguiled That he did pace them first? All things that are, Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. My blood, my want of strength, my sick heart shows. Your tributary drops belong to woe, How to get clear of all the debts I owe. MMMMDCXXXIV - "EARTANDEYESHAV" Edward and York; then haply she will weep: As hath been belch'd on by infected lungs. Reply not in how many fathoms deep Therefore, all hearts in love use their own tongues; And, like a thief, to come to rob my grounds, No, sir; their hats are pluck'd about their ears, Does me this wrong. Terms! names! Amaimon sounds Environed with all these hideous fears? You are my all the world, and I must strive Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Save that, for reverence to some alive, Have all his ventures fail'd? What, not one hit? A wife of such wood were felicity. Vilely compiled, profound simplicity. MMMMDCXXXV - "EERREDANDTOTHI" Either to die the death or to abjure Except it be to pray against thy foes. Romeo, that she were, O, that she were Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows Earlier too, sir, if now I be one. Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. And therein, hellish dog, thou hast undone. No father owning it,--which is, indeed, Dial is now upon the prick of noon. To-morrow yield up rule, resign my life, Of his fair mistress: in the afternoon To have their balmy slumbers waked with strife. His means most short, his creditors most strait: It shall be done; I will arraign them straight. MMMMDCXXXVI - "SFALSEPLAGUEAR" See how my wretched sister sobs and weeps. Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms And faintly through a rusty beaver peeps: Lavinia, thou shalt be employ'd: these arms! Straining upon the start.

One of her women lawyer to me, for Who, in the lusty stealth of nature, take The steps of wrong, should move you to mew up Razeth your cities and subverts your towns And to his palate doth prepare the cup: Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Some in her threaden fillet still did bide, For what hath broach'd this tumult but thy pride? MMMMDCXXXVIII - "ERRDWHENMYLOVE" Enough to purchase what you have made known. Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! Rape, call you it, my lord, to seize my own, Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- Where most she satisfies; for vilest things How long shall I be patient? ah, how long Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar, Your beauty was the cause of that effect; Lord governor, for so we hear you are, Or rather say, the cause of this defect, Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMMDCXXXIX - "SWEARSTHATSHEI" So, by a roaring tempest on the flood, Were all thy children kind and natural! England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, And though you call my course unnatural, Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send She will not stick to round me i' the ear, The shame and fault finds no excuse nor end. Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere And bid the owners quench them with their tears. The holy suit which fain it would convince, See you, my princes, and my noble peers, Hath she forgot already that brave prince, Edward and York; then haply she will weep: If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep! MMMMDCXL - "SMADEOFTRUTHID" Sebastian is thy name? I like thee well Myself, a prince by fortune of my birth, A fiend like thee might bear my soul to hell. Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Or, if not so, thy noble heart to break: First, in this forest let us do those ends To make me slave to it; and for your sake Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. That must strike sail to spirits of vile sort! He throws upon the gross world's baser slaves: I must be brief, lest resolution drop Discourse, I prithee, on this turret's top.

Say, where will you assault? I summon up remembrance of things past, Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; He means, my lord, that we are too remiss; Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Twin-born with greatness, subject to the breath Her elder sister is so curst and shrewd O, know'st thou not his looks are my soul's food? MMMMDCXLII - "UGHIKNOWSHELIE" Unless he do submit himself to Rome. Good king, to be so mightily abused! Her maiden strewments, and the bringing home If friend or foe, let him be gently used. Knowing that thou wouldst have me drown'd on shore, Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth. Or with the clamorous report of war Welcome him then according to his worth. Sticking together in calamity. Her eyes are mad that they have wept til now. England and France might, through their amity, Lord, no; yet I love thee too. And while thou If they miscarry, we miscarry too. Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. MMMMDCXLIII - "STHATSHEMIGHTT" Such as the day is when the sun is hid.

And now loud-howling wolves arouse the jades The mariners say how thou hast disposed Sir, I propose not merely to myself How covert matters may be best disclosed, England hath long been mad, and scarr'd herself; Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! I'll to the Centaur, to go seek this slave: Give it an understanding but no tongue. Here to have death in peace is all he'll crave.

Entreated me to call and know her mind: Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes O, what a happy title do I find, Most noble! in the presence of thy corse? Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Unless he seek to thrust you out perforce. Nay more, while grace is saying, hood mine eyes The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, Unless good counsel may the cause remove. MMMMDCXLV - "TORDYOUTHUNLEA" Thy master dies thy scholar: to do thus Our archers shall be placed in the midst Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Do smilingly revolt; and who resist You tender more your person's honour than Or he his manage by the well-doing steed. Unless he live until he be a man. Therefore I took your hands, but was, indeed, Have mercy, Jesu!--Soft! I did but dream. Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.

Drove back again unto my native clime? MMMMDCXLVII - "SFALSESUBTLETI" Sure, these are but imaginary wiles For, though I am not splenitive and rash, As now they are, and making practised smiles, Let it alone, thou fool; it is but trash. So from himself impiety hath wrought, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Speechless complainer, I will learn thy thought; Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: But ere sunset I'll make thee curse the deed. Thus she replies: 'Thy palfrey, as he should, Lorenzo, certain, and my love indeed, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Thou art thence banish'd, we would muster all I heard a child cry underneath a wall.

MMMMDCL - "HINKSMEYOUNGAL" Her eyes, her hair, her cheek, her gait, her voice, I'll stop mine ears against the mermaid's song. Never did faithful subject more rejoice King Henry, be thy title right or wrong, Some haste, my lord! well, fare you well, my lord: My father is gone wild into his grave, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Yet hath he been my captive and my slave, Of thousands that had struck anointed kings Upon Good-Friday and ne'er broke his fast: No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past: And oftentimes excusing of a fault Let it be so. Say, where will you assault?

Pronounce thee a gross lout, a mindless slave, And not to be a rebel to her state; So doth the swan her downy cygnets save, To my proceedings, if, with pure heart's love, To spite a raven's heart within a dove. MMMMDCLIII - "HEBESTSIMPLYIC" He cares not for your weeping. Speak thou, boy: Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place But if it did infect my blood with joy, Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Slew three opposers: Tarquin's self he met, Though rebels wound thee with their horses' hoofs: Spit, and throw stones, cast mire upon me, set It speaks against her with the other proofs. Mean time let this defend my loyalty, Plain and not honest is too harsh a style. Lo, here, this long-usurped royalty You have been nobly borne. From me awhile.

MMMMDCLV - "PEAKINGTONGUEO" Pursue thy life, and live aye with thy name! Ely with Richmond troubles me more near And, veil'd in them, did win whom he would maim: Knocks at my heat and whispers in mine ear I will both hear and grant you your requests. Nor met with fortune other than at feasts, Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! Now, as I live, I will. My nobler friends, Give me some music; music, moody food Unless thou couldst return to make amends? Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Of thy devotion and right Christian zeal. MMMMDCLVI - "NBOTHSIDESTHUS" Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality: But Hercules himself must yield to odds; Of both your armies; whose equality That does appear as he were flay'd? O gods He had of me a chain: at five o'clock Sweet thief, whence didst thou steal thy sweet that smells, It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock Dares stir a wing, if Warwick shake his bells. Engenders the black toad and adder blue, Since I came to this isle: and in the morn Than breath or pen can give expressure to: Her foes shake like a field of beaten corn, Upon the foul disease. Revoke thy gift, Skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? MMMMDCLVII - "ISSIMPLETRUTHS" I understand thy looks: that pretty Welsh Should be shut up, hear what Ulysses speaks. Sir Toby Belch! how now, Sir Toby Belch! I should make very forges of my cheeks, Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves Pernicious blood-sucker of sleeping men! Lusty and like to live: the queen receives Establish him in his true sense again, They that thrive well take counsel of their friends. Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Unless thou couldst return to make amends? The face, that map which deep impression bears How can the law forbid my tongue to curse? Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. MMMMDCLVIII - "UPPRESSDBUTWHE" Unarm thee, go, and doubt thou not, brave boy, Pies; mace; dates?--none, that's out of my note; Plague him with flies: though that his joy be joy, Ready to catch each other by the throat, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; See what I do deliver out to each, Shall have a thousand crowns for his reward. Do not itself unkennel in one speech, But that's no matter; let him kill one first; Up Fish Street! down Saint Magnus' Corner! Kill This was my wish: 'Be thou,' quoth I, ' accursed, Were man as rare as Phoenix. 'Od's my will! How tame, when men and women are alone, Enough to purchase what you have made known. MMMMDCLIX - "REFORESAYSSHEN" Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? England ne'er had a king until his time. Fair ladies mask'd are roses in their bud; Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Each day still better other's happiness; Shall profit thee and much enrich thy book. And that be heir to his unhappiness! You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram, She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Hence with it, and together with the dam England we love; and for that England's sake No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. MMMMDCLX - "OTSHEISUNJUSTA" O god of love! I know he doth deserve Through Night's black bosom should not peep again: So slight a valuation, should reserve Hath taught them scornful tricks and such disdain Each man apart, all single and alone, In resolution to keep Helen still, Singeing his pate against the burning zone, Up Fish Street! down Saint Magnus' Corner! Kill Nor doth he of himself know them for aught Joint-ring, nor for measures of lawn, nor for Unlike young men, whom Aristotle thought Strikes life into my speech and shows much more To crouch in litter of your stable planks, And shrive you of a thousand idle pranks. MMMMDCLXI - "NDWHEREFORESAY" Not working with the eye without the ear, Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, With one soft kiss a thousand furlongs ere He shall have merely justice and his bond. Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. Reply not in how many fathoms deep Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. Follows not thee: therefore thou art a sheep. O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide, Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. So flew'd, so sanded, and their heads are hung And if you love me, as you say you do, Yes, that you did, sir, and forswore it too. MMMMDCLXII - "NOTITHATIAMOLD" No; let him die, in that he is a fox, Of that black name, Edward, Black Prince of Wales; Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, There is a willow grows aslant a brook, Heard you of nothing strange about the streets? And then comes answer like an Absey book: The purity and whiteness of my sheets, Is this the Talbot, so much fear'd abroad And as the butcher takes away the calf Mercy to thee would prove itself a bawd: Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Lorenzo, certain, and my love indeed, Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. MMMMDCLXIII - "OLOVESBESTHABI" O, I could play the woman with mine eyes Love loving not itself none other can. O, how her fear did make her colour rise! Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Either be gone before the watch be set, She pray'd me to excuse her keeping close, But men are men; the best sometimes forget: Except it be to pray against thy foes. Start not; her actions shall be holy as That did disrobe the lion of that robe! Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; And whirl along with thee about the globe. But now the substance shall endure the like, I have not sought the day of this dislike. MMMMDCLXIV - "TISINSEEMINGTR" They willfully themselves exile from light In sooth, good friend, your father might have kept Shall be extinct with age and endless night; I know thy constellation is right apt Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Sticking together in calamity. Either thou art most ignorant by age, England and France might, through their amity, My blood, my want of strength, my sick heart shows. Inclinable to honour and advance Nor the division of a battle knows Good sometime queen, prepare thee hence for France: That little thought, when she set footing here, Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? MMMMDCLXV - "USTANDAGEINLOV" Until her husband and my lord's return: Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds, That you have no such mirrors as will turn And by the royalties of both your bloods, Never was such a sudden scholar made; Do what you will; your wisdom be your guide. Ah, wretched man! would I had died a maid God give you joy, sir, of your gallant bride! Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, If speaking, why, a vane blown with all winds; No better than the earth he lies upon, Let me not to the marriage of true minds Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Verse: we see it, we see it. How now, lambs? MMMMDCLXVI - "ELOVESNOTTOHAV" Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Let what is meet be said it must be meet, O, torture me no more! I will confess. Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Stone him with harden'd hearts harder than stones; Nay then, the wanton lies; my face is black. Or, wanting that, with tears distill'd by moans: That I was sent for nothing but a rope! Take you the lute, and you the set of books; Of noble having and of royal hope, How long her face is drawn? how pale she looks, As worthy cause I have to fear I am-- Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? MMMMDCLXVII - "EYEARSTOLDTHER" Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Yes, as I love the woman that wrong'd him. Environed with all these hideous fears? And stood stark naked on the brook's green brim: Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, Sir John, the Lord bless you; God prosper your That stand'st between her father's ground and mine! Or stones whose rates are either rich or poor Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, To make my small elves coats, and some keep back He shall have merely justice and his bond. Each present lord began to promise aid, Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. MMMMDCLXVIII - "EFOREILIEWITHH" Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Fie, now you run this humour out of breath, O, what a rash and bloody deed is this! Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death. Extremity of griefs would make men mad; If to reprove you for this suit of yours, Let him be ransom'd: never master had I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less What scene of death hath Roscius now to act? It is my Lord of Berkeley, as I guess. To cavil in the course of this contract: Here is the cap your worship did bespeak. Have I affected wealth or honour? speak. MMMMDCLXIX - "ERANDSHEWITHME" Entreated me to call and know her mind: Remembers me of all his gracious parts, And grow big-bellied with the wanton wind; Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, Doth shine upon the dead man's earthy cheeks, Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, He acts thy greatness in: and when he speaks, Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Would you not deem it breathed? and that those veins I wander from the jewels that I love. To send for Titus TITUS, it remains, Here on my knee I vow to God above, Myself was stirring ere the break of day, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MMMMDCLXX - "ANDINOURFAULTS" A greater gift! O, that's the sword to it. Name her not now, sir; she's a deadly theme. Did never traitor in the land commit. If consequence do but approve my dream, No, lady, no; my heart longs not to groan, Or, if misfortune miss the first career, Upon my daughter's head! Tell me, mine own. Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; For man or master. Then it follows thus: Adonis painted by a running brook, Unless by robbing of your friends and us. Let pity not be believ'd!' There she shook Then be not poor, but break it, and take this. Strangers and foes do sunder, and not kiss. MMMMDCLXXI - "BYLIESWEFLATTE" Buy thou the cottage, pasture, and the flock, You do him injury to scorn his corse. Lady, give me your hand, and, as we walk, If so your heart were touch'd with that remorse Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Where, ere we do repose us, we will write Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Fear not; 'tis empty of all things but grief; Love is your master, for he masters you: A curse upon him, die he like a thief, Then, England's ground, farewell; sweet soil, adieu; The right: but to the point. As I say, this Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. MMMMDCLXXII - "RDBEOCALLNOTME" Revenge upon myself with present moan? Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. By their rank thoughts my deeds must not be shown; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Of mine own kindred: when I waked, I found Come, knock and enter; and no sooner in, And wears upon his baby-brow the round Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin Let never day nor night unhallow'd pass, Nothing more dear to me. You are abused O,--sixpence, that I had o' Wednesday last Till now some nine moons wasted, they have used May say, the plague is banish'd by thy breath. Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? MMMMDCLXXIII - "TOJUSTIFYTHEWR" The owl shriek'd at thy birth,--an evil sign; Or I am much deceived, cuckolds ere now; Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou Save that, for reverence to some alive, Through crystal walls each little mote will peep: I wish your enterprise to-day may thrive. For his advantage still did wake and sleep: You laugh when boys or women tell their dreams; This ague fit of fear is over-blown; Here is the man, this Moor, whom now, it seems, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: What did the Russian whisper in your ear? Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? MMMMDCLXXIV - "ONGTHATTHYUNKI" Open their congeal'd mouths and bleed afresh! No lord of thine, thou haught insulting man, God knows thou art a collop of my flesh; Therefore no more turn me to him, sweet Nan. He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. A wife of such wood were felicity. That I have frequent been with unknown minds To prove, by wit, worth in simplicity. He shall be welcome too. Where is his son, Younger than she are happy mothers made. Unarm, Eros; the long day's task is done, Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. I am. What must we understand by this? MMMMDCLXXV - "NDNESSLAYSUPON" Nay, be not angry; I am pleased again. Durst make too bold a herald of my tongue Ne'er trust me then; for when a world of men Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Sorrow were ever razed and testy wrath Sufficeth not that we are brought to Rome, Look, here's a letter from him: the state hath And is the bride and bridegroom coming home? You are so merciful: I see your end; So full of artless jealousy is guilt Upon thy princely warrant, I descend Pardon me, wife. Henceforth do what thou wilt; O, where's young Talbot? where is valiant John? Nay, we shall heat you thoroughly anon. MMMMDCLXXVI - "MYHEARTWOUNDME" Methinks they should invite them without knives; You follow the young Prince up and down, like Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Am I both priest and clerk? well then, amen. Run to my study. By and by! God's will, The scatter'd foe that hopes to rise again; Where be the sacred vials thou shouldst fill O Ratcliff, I have dream'd a fearful dream! Upon my wretched women, that so long Name her not now, sir; she's a deadly theme. Demetrius and Egeus, go along: Most mighty liege, and my companion peers, Environed with all these hideous fears? MMMMDCLXXVII - "NOTWITHTHINEEY" Not his that spoils her young before her face. Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Then let not winter's ragged hand deface What less than dooms-day is the prince's doom? Is so from sense in hardness, that I can The key whereof myself have ever kept; How much, methinks, I could despise this man, The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept: Himself! no, he's not himself: would a' were I have no ears to his request. The queen Necessity's sharp pinch! Return with her? Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Yes, and will nobly him remunerate. MMMMDCLXXVIII - "EBUTWITHTHYTON" Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Blushing to be encountered with a cloud. Upon some present business of the state Thou but offend'st thy lungs to speak so loud: Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives: I wrote him Imogen was slain: 'tis strange: Thus might he pass indeed. Yet he revives. How came the noble Timon to this change? That he is grown so great? Age, thou art shamed! He never did fall off, my sovereign liege, You love my son; invention is ashamed, Then turn your forces from this paltry siege Oppos'd against the act, bending his sword Now sits the wind fair, and we will aboard. MMMMDCLXXIX - "GUEUSEPOWERWIT" Garter, in his coat of arms, and on his Unto another lady of esteem: Ere such another Julius. Britain is Unless it be whilst some tormenting dream Shows itself pure. He weeps for what is done. Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Poor queen! how love to me and to her son Or theirs whose desperate hands themselves do slay, Was rightful heir unto the English crown Either they must be dieted like mules Rotten opinion, who hath writ me down Which shallow laughing hearers give to fools: If I do not usurp myself, I am. The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb. MMMMDCLXXX - "HPOWERANDSLAYM" His nostrils drink the air, and forth again, Paris should do some vengeance on the Greeks: Or lowly factor for another's gain; What grief hath set the jaundice on your cheeks? Enow to press a royal merchant down Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, And now the house of York, thrust from the crown Now with the drops of this most balmy time Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands Sit, sit. The gods require our thanks. Lo, by thy side where Rape and Murder stands; And shrive you of a thousand idle pranks. You heavy people, circle me about, My remedy is then to pluck it out. MMMMDCLXXXI - "ENOTBYARTTELLM" Effect it with some care, that he may prove Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; Or bends with the remover to remove: Then let the pebbles on the hungry beach Bare and unpeopled in this fearful flood. You not your child well loving, yet I find And shame thine honourable age with blood? Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. The face of either cipher'd either's heart; To brag unto them, thus I did, and thus; Each one demand an answer to his part Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! Look after him and cannot do him good, Mistake not, uncle, further than you should. MMMMDCLXXXII - "ETHOULOVESTELS" Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Two chantries, where the sad and solemn priests Here she exclaims against repose and rest, O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, Upon the like devotion as yourselves, Let it be who it is: for Romans now Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Esteem him as a lamb, being compared So kind to heart, 'tis not enough to give; To answer mildly; for they are prepared Even for this let us divided live, Let it be so. Say, where will you assault? Shall lose a hair through Bassanio's fault. MMMMDCLXXXIII - "EWHEREBUTINMYS" Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Wherein we are not destitute for want, His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, Each cheek a river running from a fount Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Before the sun rose he was harness'd light, Under whose brim the gaudy sun would peep; That virtue must go through. We must not stint I do give lost; for I do feel it gone, Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint My life I never held but as a pawn Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt, So thin that life looks through, and will break out. MMMMDCLXXXIV - "IGHTDEARHEARTF" I will, when you are humble; nay, before, Give that which gave thee life unto the worms. Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you? Your That you and I should meet upon such terms Drew sleep out of mine eyes, blood from my cheeks, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: And I do stand engaged to many Greeks, Round rising hillocks, brakes obscure and rough, Hear'st thou the news abroad, who are arrived? Edward and Richard, you shall stay with me; And welcome, welcome! die where thou hast lived: Return again, and take an oath with thee. These Kentish rebels would be soon appeased! For which, I hope, thou felt'st I was displeased. MMMMDCLXXXV - "ORBEARTOGLANCE" Of my poor babe, according to thine oath, Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, But I believe, although I seem so loath, Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge Refuse not, mighty lord, this proffer'd love. To the young man send humble treaties, dodge Of thee and me, and sighs, and takes my glove, Gentle Lavinia, let me kiss thy lips. Let hell want pains enough to torture me. And notwithstanding all her sudden quips, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee, Cupid all arm'd: a certain aim he took Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMMMDCLXXXVI - "THINEEYEASIDEW" Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss, Hence with it, and together with the dam If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee Expect him here: when he shall come and find Your will be done: this must my comfort be, Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, A kingdom for it was too small a bound; Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What! Is severally in all. Let's quit this ground, Devils' additions, the names of fiends: but Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Why, how now? ho, awake! Why are you drawn? MMMMDCLXXXVII - "HATNEEDSTTHOUW" Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; And by me, had not our hap been bad. Thinking to bar thee of succession, as Now, out of doubt Antipholus is mad, Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Exampled by the first pace that is sick Doth part his function and is partly blind, So do you too, where you perceive them thick. That noble honour'd lord, is fear'd and loved? They swell, and grow as terrible as storms. How happily he lives, how well beloved Or blot with hell-born sin such saint-like forms. Until her husband and my lord's return: Will none but Herne the hunter serve your turn? MMMMDCLXXXVIII - "OUNDWITHCUNNIN" O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Unmanner'd dog! stand thou, when I command: No, my good lord; he speaks the common tongue, Dear earth, I do salute thee with my hand, With all respect and rites of burial. I do believe her, though I know she lies, They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel, Heard, not regarded; seen, but with such eyes Can sleep so soundly as the wretched slave, Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest; Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, Neither the king, nor he that loves him best, In peace there's nothing so becomes a man Now, Master Slender: love him, daughter Anne. MMMMDCLXXXIX - "GWHENTHYMIGHTI" Go, base intruder! overweening slave! Why would he for the momentary trick Hath yielded up his body to the grave; Exampled by the first pace that is sick No, 'tis impossible he should escape, Than foemen's marks upon his batter'd shield; His glassy essence, like an angry ape, You press me far, and therefore I will yield. My wish shall show me the way to my will. I offer'd to awaken his regard Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill He bends her fingers, holds her pulses hard, That for thyself: I will not so presume I bring thee tidings of the prince's doom. MMMMDCXC - "SMORETHANMYOER" Surprise me to the very brink of tears: Myself, a prince by fortune of my birth, Of many in the army: many years, Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, To kindle their dry stubble; and their blaze Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like And so by many winding nooks he strays Now mark me, how I will undo myself; My lord, I found the Prince in the next room, Yet I must speak. Choose your revenge yourself; Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Ere you were queen, yea, or your husband king, Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. MMMMDCXCI - "PRESSDDEFENSEC" Proving his beauty by succession thine! Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! Express impatience, lest you stir up mine. Shall I Sir Pandarus of Troy become, Strangers and foes do sunder, and not kiss. Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, Do not yourself such wrong, who are in this Each in his office ready at thy beck. Fights dragon-like, and does achieve as soon Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Not yet! no dance! Thus change I like the moon. So please your majesty, I would I could England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, Come, lead me to the block; bear him my head. MMMMDCXCII - "ANBIDELETMEEXC" As for the Duke of York, this late complaint Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: But rather wishing a more strict restraint I'll join with black despair against my soul, Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Lightens my humour with his merry jests. Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought This monument five hundred years hath stood, Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; eXpect your highness' doom of life or death. Coming and going with thy honey breath. MMMMDCXCIII - "USETHEEAHMYLOV" Unless you were of gentler, milder mould. Some good man bear him carefully from hence; Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And lookest to command the prince and realm. Had been a little ratsbane for thy sake! Make an extent upon his house and lands. Yet are the king's; and, till my soul forsake, Lorenzo, I commit into your hands Of that we have: so then we do neglect Very hardly upon such a subject. MMMMDCXCIV - "EWELLKNOWSHERP" Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Why, then, young Bertram, take her; she's thy wife. Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Look, when a painter would surpass the life, Language unmannerly, yea, such which breaks Know thine own meaning, but wouldst gabble like Nay, stay; lets hear the orisons he makes. Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege; So is my love still telling what is told. Have I, my lord? Assure you, my good liege, Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Profit again should hardly draw me here. MMMMDCXCV - "RETTYLOOKSHAVE" Roses of shadow, since his rose is true? Environed with all these hideous fears? Twice to your visor, and half once to you. That day that made my sister thirteen years. Yet bend not all the harm upon yourself; Let what is meet be said it must be meet, Of love between your daughter and himself; O, deeper sin than bottomless conceit Kneel'd at my feet, and bade me be advised Shall it for shame be spoken in these days, Her cheeks with chaps and wrinkles were disguised; As goddess-like to her admired lays; Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MMMMDCXCVI - "BEENMINEENEMIE" Base tike, call'st thou me host? Now, by this hand, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Every man shift for all the rest, and Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. My shame will not be shifted with my sheet: I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours No word like 'pardon' for kings' mouths so meet. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten flint; If you bethink yourself of any crime England ne'er had a king until his time. MMMMDCXCVII - "SANDTHEREFOREF" So are those crisped snaky golden locks And make pursuit where he did mean no chase. No; let him die, in that he is a fox, Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen How smooth and even they do bear themselves! Establish him in his true sense again, Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make For burden-wise I'll hum on Tarquin still, O, let me teach thee! for my father's sake, Reason becomes the marshal to my will Exposing what is mortal and unsure For we will shake him, or worse days endure. MMMMDCXCVIII - "ROMMYFACESHETU" Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. Marry, they say my uncle grew so fast Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last. Fie, what an indirect and peevish course And so have I a noble father lost; Came to me, as I follow'd Henry's corse, Extremity still urgeth such extremes. Summon their general unto the wall. His brandish'd sword did blind men with his beams: Else shall you not have any hand at all That quickens Nilus' slime, I go from hence Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. MMMMDCXCIX - "RNSMYFOESTHATT" Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. Now outlaw'd from my blood. He sought my life Straight let us seek, or straight we shall be sought; Might have excuse to work upon his wife, You must needs dine with me: go not you hence Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose Or else dries up; to be discarded thence! Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. She's, like a liar, gone to burning hell: That taught his son the office of a fowl! Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell And my imaginations are as foul To wear a kerchief! Would you were not sick! That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. MMMMDCC - "HEYELSEWHEREMI" His secret murders sticking on his hands; Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Your voice shall be as strong as any man's Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Laughest thou, wretch? thy mirth shall turn to moan. So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon, Each man apart, all single and alone, Were I with her, the night would post too soon; Have I once lived to see two honest men? Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Receive each other. God speak this Amen! England we love; and for that England's sake Made mine eyes water; but more merry tears I am compared to twenty thousand fairs. MMMMDCCI - "GHTDARTTHEIRIN" Good gentlemen, give him a further edge Hear a foot fall: we now are near his cell. The roughest berry on the rudest hedge; Disdainful to be tried by't: 'tis not well. And never wound the heart with looks again; Rob one another. There's more gold. Cut throats: To-morrow morning let us meet him then. The king hath many marching in his coats. He that flies so will ne'er return again. Eating the air and promise of supply, It is here, Hamlet. Hamlet, thou art slain; Religious love put out Religion's eye: In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; No evil lost is wail'd when it is gone. MMMMDCCII - "JURIESYETDONOT" James Gurney, wilt thou give us leave awhile? Upon my lady's missing, came to me Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll In brief,--for so the season bids us be,-- Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, Since thou wert king--as who is king but thou?-- Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. To hear the replication of your sounds Do so conjointly meet, let not men say On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Now thou art gone, we have no staff, no stay. Out of their best--is not almost a fault They may vex us with shot, or with assault. MMMMDCCIII - "SOBUTSINCEIAMN" So, I am free; yet would not so have been, Of such as your oppression feeds upon, But do not break your oaths; for of that sin Uncle of Winchester, I pray, read on. To the descent and dust beneath thy foot, Speak truly, on thy knighthood and thy oath; I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Now, as I can remember, by my troth, Come, then; for with a wound I must be cured. Extinguishing his conduct in this case; I cannot tell; but this I am assured, And spit it bleeding in his high disgrace, My noble queen, let former grudges pass, Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! MMMMDCCIV - "EARSLAINKILLME" Early and late, debating to and fro And feeds from home; poor I am but his stale. Reveals before 'tis ripe, what thou dost know Swear in both the scales against either scale; Let housewives make a skillet of my helm, Are gone: crows and daws, crows and daws! I had I and ten thousand in this luckless realm Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad, Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. I would not be a young count in your way, Love is too young to know what conscience is; Leave me alone to woo him. Let's away, Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! MMMMDCCV - "OUTRIGHTWITHLO" O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Upon his royal face there is no note That from it all consideration slips! Ready to catch each other by the throat, I sue for exiled majesty's repeal; Give him that parting kiss which I had set Had I but served my God with half the zeal Thanks, good Montgomery; but we now forget When thou shalt see I'll meet thee to thy cost. I'll be your father and your brother too; Thou mayst co-join with something; and thou dost, Here, good my glass, take this for telling true: Lord Edmund spake not with your lord at home? Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome. MMMMDCCVI - "OKSANDRIDMYPAI" O, we have made a vow to study, lords, Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. Sometime 'tis mad and too much talk affords. And, by the necessary form of this, None else to me, nor I to none alive, Discomfortable cousin! know'st thou not Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live I must go look my twigs: he shall be caught. Discover more at large what cause that was, Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's You have not call'd me so, nor have you cause. Princes, that strive by factions and by friends And all the number of his fair demands It likes us well; young princes, close your hands. MMMMDCCVII - "NBEWISEASTHOUA" Now is it manhood, wisdom and defence, But thou wilt be avenged on my misdeeds, Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. With a proud heart he wore his humble weeds. I rather of his absence make this use: She's not well married that lives married long; Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. And rail on Pyrrhus that hath done him wrong; Set down, set down your honourable load, They wither in their prime, prove nothing worth: Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, Unto another lady of esteem: And sits as one new risen from a dream. MMMMDCCVIII - "RTCRUELDONOTPR" Reputation. Come, shall we to this gear? To bring this tidings to the bloody king. Cromwell, I did not think to shed a tear Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Upon the next live creature that it sees. Effect it with some care, that he may prove Let us be back'd with God and with the seas Did all the chivalry of England move On, officer, to prison till it come. Nay, if you read this line, remember not O, I could wish this tavern were my drum! That this my death may never be forgot! Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! MMMMDCCIX - "ESSMYTONGUETIE" Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Sir Richard, what think you? have you beheld, Such commendations as becomes a maid, My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, Your bounty, virtue, fair humility: They are at it, hark! Proud Diomed, believe, Out of my lean and low ability Never to marry but by my free leave? Great Duke of Lancaster, I come to thee Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense. Endure the winter's cold as well as he: That it is proof and bulwark against sense. I am content you shall entreat me stay; Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. MMMMDCCX - "DPATIENCEWITHT" Delighted them in any other form; Pence apiece of Yead Miller, by these gloves. And now, forsooth, takes on him to reform To keep his daughter company; whose loves I will be correspondent to command Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Now useless, boil'd within thy skull! There stand, Change slander to remorse; that is some good: Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Whene'er we come to our account. I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Things to strike honour sad. Bid him recount Here, Marcus, fold it in the oration; That tremble at the imagination? MMMMDCCXI - "OOMUCHDISDAINL" On such a full sea are we now afloat; On, Myrmidons, and cry you all amain, Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; Upon the grassy carpet of this plain. Content yourself. God knows I loved my niece; He hath no eyes, the dust hath blinded them. Dry up in her the organs of increase; If I do not usurp myself, I am. Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept, Dies in the zeal of that which it presents: And when my uncle told me so, he wept, If I did stay to look on his intents. Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: Let me but bear your love, I'll bear your cares. MMMMDCCXII - "ESTSORROWLENDM" Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, Scotland hath will to help, but cannot help; The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp O wretched state! O bosom black as death! Rather than purchased; what he cannot change, Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! Worst in this royal presence may I speak, Let her who would be rid of him devise Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek Now I begin to relish thy advice; Devoured by the unexpected flood. Many will swoon when they do look on blood. MMMMDCCXIII - "EWORDSANDWORDS" Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Which I'll not call a creature of thy place, Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, Did march three Frenchmen. Yet, forgive me, God, She'll flay thy wolvish visage. Thou shalt find And then all this thou seest is but a clod Not letting it decline on the declined, Doth want example: who hath read or heard Well, welcome, welcome! I have seen the time. O my good lord, the world is but a word: Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Did he suspire, that light and weightless down Shall rain their drift of bullets on this town. MMMMDCCXIV - "EXPRESSTHEMANN" Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek eXtremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Peace, thou! and give King Henry leave to speak. Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Shalt carry from me to the empress' sons So far from variation or quick change? The fountain from the which my current runs, He, with two striplings-lads more like to run Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Madam, I was not old sir Robert's son: Armies of pestilence; and they shall strike No grief did ever come so near thy heart No, sir, she shall not, though you take her part. MMMMDCCXV - "EROFMYPITYWANT" Either to get the town again or die: Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife: O what a rogue and peasant slave am I! For that he knew you, might reproach your life Makes summer's welcome thrice more wish'd, more rare. You have done wrong to this my honest friend, Proteus, I thank thee for thine honest care; I hear it by the way; but I will send: This picture she advisedly perused, Your loving uncle, twenty times his worth, Whiles the mad mothers with their howls confused And pierce the inmost centre of the earth: Nor mine, my lord: Cressid was here but now. The head of Cade! Great God, how just art Thou! MMMMDCCXVI - "INGPAINIFIMIGH" I will be master of what is mine own- No doubt, no doubt; O, 'tis a parlous boy; Good countrymen, let me depart alone, Plague him with flies: though that his joy be joy, And not all love to see you, though so much I cannot do it; yet I know no cause No glory lives behind the back of such. Indeed we heard how near his death he was For, if you should, O, what would come of it! If she have time to breathe be well assured Meet to be sent on errands: is it fit, It easeth some, though none it ever cured, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds. Ha! durst the traitor breathe out so proud words? MMMMDCCXVII - "TTEACHTHEEWITB" The sun shines hot; and, if we use delay, That unassailable holds on his rank, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. As level as the cannon to his blank, Cry the amen; and yet my conscience says Hast here cut off my lord. To write and read Tell me how Wales was made so happy as How fares my lord? Help, lords! the king is dead. Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Endue you with the people's voice: remains Why, how now, count! wherefore are you sad? I thank thee for thy care and honest pains. That hath been breeder of these dire events. Big discontent so breaking their contents. MMMMDCCXVIII - "ETTERITWERETHO" Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Through the transparent bosom of the deep, That from their own misdeeds askance their eyes! Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift In iron walls they deem'd me not secure; To cross my friend in his intended drift With horn and hound we'll give your grace bonjour. Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Employ'd you where high profits might come home, The needful bits and curbs to headstrong weeds, Had I brought hither a corrupted mind, Old Helicanus goes along behind. MMMMDCCXIX - "UGHNOTTOLOVEYE" Uneven is the course, I like it not. Giving my verdict on the white rose side. However God or fortune cast my lot, Neglect him not; make use now, and provide Of us must Pompey presently be sought, The duke's in us; and we will hear you speak: That the poor soldier that so richly fought, On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, Of the old rage: bear with me, I am sick; Values itself so highly that to her Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Your brother kings and monarchs of the earth England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MMMMDCCXX - "TLOVETOTELLMES" The ills that were not, grew to faults assured Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir, Of all the voices that we have procured Values itself so highly that to her Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; That may be must be, love, on Thursday next. Of the duke's confessor, John de la Car, Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep; Like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. Music, ho! music, such as charmeth sleep! Each changing place with that which goes before, Speak with me, pity me, open the door. MMMMDCCXXI - "OASTESTYSICKME" Of my wife's brother, then his cheek look'd pale, And on his more advice we pardon him. Sleeping or waking must I still prevail, That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. Else shall you not have any hand at all Seeing Orlando, it unlink'd itself, These banish'd men that I have kept withal Young Ned, for thee, thine uncles and myself Since I have ever follow'd thee with hate, In iron walls they deem'd me not secure; Come pat betwixt too early and too late Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure March to assault thy country than to tread-- Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MMMMDCCXXII - "NWHENTHEIRDEAT" Now thrive the armourers, and honour's thought Who, you all know, are honourable men: He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught Establish him in his true sense again, Neither in inward worth nor outward fair, To a strong mast that lived upon the sea; Half sleep, half waking: but as yet, I swear, Enjoy your mistress, from the whom, I see, It is your grace's pleasure to commend; Remains in danger of her former tooth. Despite of mine own nature. Quickly send Even so void is your false heart of truth. And York as fast upon your grace exclaims; That thou hadst call'd me all these bitter names. MMMMDCCXXIII - "HSBENEARNONEWS" Here's no place for you: pray, go to the door. See how the surly Warwick mans the wall! Be heap'd like mine and that thy skill be more Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, No, thou stand'st single, thou'rt not on him yet. Early and late, debating to and fro And therefore to your fair no painting set; Receive them then, the tribute that I owe, No more pains for those thanks than you took pains Out of the speech of peace, that bears such grace, Now, youthful Troilus, do not these high strains Extinguishing his conduct in this case; We must supplant those rough rug-headed kerns, She's apt to learn, and thankful for good turns. MMMMDCCXXIV - "BUTHEALTHFROMT" Because we know, on Valentine's report, Unless he take the course that you have done, The chain were longer and the letter short? Had I before known this young man his son, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! A thievish living on the common road? Let them have scope: though what they do impart Than death can yield me here by my abode. How possibly preserved; and who to thank, Free from oppression or the stroke of war, Rain added to a river that is rank O then, belike, you fancy riches more: My mercy dried their water-flowing tears; That is not quickly buzzed into his ears? MMMMDCCXXV - "HEIRPHYSICIANS" He must observe their mood on whom he jests, Else had she with her father rang'd along. I will both hear and grant you your requests. Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Put pardon, father Nestor, were your days How now, fair lords! What fare? what news abroad? Yet this thy praise cannot be so thy praise, She says enough; yet she's a simple bawd I would attach you all and make you stoop Carries noise, and behind him he leaves tears: Is not the Lady Constance in this troop? And his offence is so, as it appears, Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Sometime 'tis mad and too much talk affords. MMMMDCCXXVI - "KNOWFORIFISHOU" Know you this ring? this ring was his of late. Not for the world, fair madam, by my will. Or any of my brothers of the state, Whence hast thou this becoming of things ill, Fair lovers, you are fortunately met: Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us. Rome shall record, and when I do forget I saw a smith stand with his hammer, thus, For thou art fortunate in all thy deeds. I wish't might fall on me, when I was found Such childish humour from weak minds proceeds: Holding thine ear close to the hollow ground; O husband, God doth know you dined at home; Unless he do submit himself to Rome. MMMMDCCXXVII - "LDDESPAIRISHOU" Lest Rome herself be bane unto herself, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Do all expect that you should rouse yourself, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Sky-planted batters all rebelling coasts? Poor market folks that come to sell their corn. And there are twenty weak and wearied posts I swear, 'tis better to be lowly born, Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. I make my love engrafted to this store: Shaking the bloody fingers of thy foes, He doth again repeat, and that they swore. Of whom so often I have heard renown, Upon the maiden virtue of the crown. MMMMDCCXXVIII - "LDGROWMADANDIN" Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Die when you will, a smock shall be your shroud. God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, O, pardon me, my liege! But for my tears, What pledge have we of thy firm loyalty? Most mighty liege, and my companion peers, And lay aside my high blood's royalty, Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' And not a man of them that we shall take Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, Descend to darkness and the burning lake! I carried from thee, dear; and my true lip Now, infidel, I have you on the hip. MMMMDCCXXIX - "MYMADNESSMIGHT" Mains d'un chevalier, je pense, le plus brave, Your honour has through Ephesus pour'd forth Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave And, after John of Gaunt, Henry the Fourth, Devoured by the unexpected flood. Nor shall this peace sleep with her: but as when England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Small curs are not regarded when they grin; Small time, but in that small most greatly lived My lords, you know, as know the mightful gods, I would the friends we miss were safe arrived. God's arm strike with us! 'tis a fearful odds. Herein lives wisdom, beauty and increase: That will forsake thee and go home in peace. MMMMDCCXXX - "SPEAKILLOFTHEE" Save when command to your dismission tends, Pray God you have not murdered some of them. Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, And you, sir, to outlive the age I am, Keepers, convey him hence, and I myself Inclinable to honour and advance Let dying Mortimer here rest himself. Lash hence these overweening rags of France, O' the toe like a parish-top. What, wench! Follow me, then. Lord Helicane, a word. To feast upon whole thousands of the French. Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Except thou wilt except against my love. MMMMDCCXXXI - "NOWTHISILLWRES" Not to woo honour, but to wed it; when O me, what eyes hath Love put in my head, Will hear your idle scorns, continue then, To whom I am a neighbour and near bred. His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, I am undone: there is no living, none, She thought he blush'd, as knowing Tarquin's lust, I am my father's heir and only son; Let me persuade you take a better course. Losing her woes in shows of discontent. With swifter spleen than powder can enforce, Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. She's dead as earth. Lend me a looking glass. MMMMDCCXXXII - "TINGWORLDISGRO" The better cherish'd, still the nearer death. If we obey them not, this will ensue, Nor windy suspiration of forc'd breath, Good sir, I do in friendship counsel you Which thou heard'st cry, which thou saw'st sink. Sit down; Or, by the gods, this speech were else your last. Redeem from broking pawn the blemish'd crown, Let him fear this, for it will come to pass Dost thou teach pardon pardon to destroy? I'll wear the willow garland for his sake. Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy. Give order to my servants that they take Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Of a glad father compass thee about! MMMMDCCXXXIII - "WNSOBADMADSLAN" Which mates him first that first intends deceit. Not I, my lord; sith true nobility Still betters what is done. When you speak, sweet. Out of my lean and low ability But heaven hath a hand in these events, As stooping to relieve him: I not doubt Dies in the zeal of that which it presents: Must I do so? and must I ravel out And, ere I part with thee, confer at large Disasters in the sun; and the moist star She had her breeding at my father's charge. Look up a-height. The shrill-gorg'd lark so far As I for praise alone now seek to spill Now is a time to storm; why art thou still? MMMMDCCXXXIV - "DERERSBYMADEAR" Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid Environ you, till mischief and despair Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, Such as I am: though for myself alone Been sworn my soldier, bidding me depend Yes, something you can deny for your own Madam, I have a secret to reveal. Allons! allons! Sow'd cockle reap'd no corn; Did see and hear, devise, instruct, walk, feel, End in one purpose, and be all well borne And 'tis not wisdom thus to second grief Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. MMMMDCCXXXV - "SBELIEVEDBETHA" Set your entreatments at a higher rate But canst thou guess that he doth aim at it? Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Let me, if not by birth, have lands by wit; I saw't this morning: confident I am Environed with all these hideous fears? Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, Defacing monuments of conquer'd France, Being so great, I have no need to beg. Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: To tear the garter from thy craven's leg, Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe And whirl along with thee about the globe. MMMMDCCXXXVI - "TIMAYNOTBESONO" This trick may chance to scathe you, I know what: In very likeness of a roasted crab, My chaplain to no creature living, but And sleeps again. This is that very Mab Your father's sickness is a maim to us. Now, gods that we adore, whereof comes this? O, torture me no more! I will confess. The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss Be ready, as your lives shall answer it, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Straight will I bring you to the loathsome pit Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? No, truly; it is more than manners will: O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill! MMMMDCCXXXVII - "RTHOUBELIEDBEA" Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid The king and queen there! that they were, I wish He would not stay at your petitions: made Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Unto the crown of France. That you may know Be happy that my arms are out of use: Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, Is almost choked by unresisted lust. Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must; But then my friend's heart let my poor heart bail; Empale him with your weapons round about; And, ten to one, old Joan had not gone out. MMMMDCCXXXVIII - "RTHINEEYESSTRA" Repair'd with double riches of content. To do brave acts. He was indeed the glass His comforts thrive, his trials well are spent. Is your perfection. This is Timon's last; Nor, I am sure, there is not force in eyes Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, You have done wrong to this my honest friend, Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, Sirs, take away the duke, and guard him sure. So that, dear lords, if I be left behind, The lion moved with pity did endure Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, And all the pleasures you usurp are mine. MMMMDCCXXXIX - "IGHTTHOUGHTHYP" In argument and proof of which contract, Go thou with him; and when it is thy hap How can they then assist me in the act? Then, Pistol, lay thy head in Furies' lap. To fill the mouth of deep defiance up He's not confirm'd; we may deny him yet. O, let those cities that of plenty's cup Upon their ancient malice will forget Good tidings, my Lord Hastings; for the which Heaven, be thou gracious to none alive, The world affords no law to make thee rich; Henry is dead and never shall revive: Your grace must needs deserve all strangers' loves, Pence apiece of Yead Miller, by these gloves. MMMMDCCXL - "ROUDHEARTGOWID" Ready to catch each other by the throat, Or what is now received: I witness to Upon his royal face there is no note Definitively thus I answer you. Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; Exist, and be a member of his love And hasty, like a Scotch jig, and full as Rogue, a villain, that fights by the book of These antique fables, nor these fairy toys. God safely quit her of her burthen, and Occasions, noble Gloucester, of some poise, We must give up to Diomedes' hand I did some service; of such note indeed, Dismounted from your snow-white goodly steed. MMMMDCCXLI - "EINFAITHIDONOT" Except it be to pray against thy foes. If you first sinn'd with us and that with us Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose; For more it is than I can well express: And wish, for her sake more than for mine own, It is foul weather in us all, good sir, The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne, Here, noble lord; what is thy will with her? I dare presume, sweet prince, he thought no harm. Do I take part: the rarer action is One friend to take his fortune by the arm, Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Or is the adder better than the eel Through Athens' gates have we devised to steal. MMMMDCCXLII - "LOVETHEEWITHMI" Lorenzo, I commit into your hands O that my prayers could such affection move! Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Effect it with some care, that he may prove That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Which is so plain that Exeter doth wish If it be made of penetrable stuff; The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish Her only fault, and that is faults enough, Make my aunt merry with some pleasing tale. I do obey thee till I give thee bail. MMMMDCCXLIII - "NEEYESFORTHEYI" No, faith, young Troilus; doff thy harness, youth; Engaged my friend to his mere enemy, Even so void is your false heart of truth. Yonder's the head of that arch-enemy Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! For this one night; which, part of it, I'll waste Or have you read or heard? or could you think? Reward to him that brings the traitor in? To look like her are chimney-sweepers black. Here comes the rogue. Sirrah, where have you been? Even like a man new haled from the rack, You know an enemy intends you harm; I pray you, will you take him by the arm? MMMMDCCXLIV - "NTHEEATHOUSAND" No, no, forsooth; I dare not for my life. The only soil of his fair virtue's gloss, His art with nature's workmanship at strife, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet, Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere Or, as it were, the pageants of the sea, Under whose shade the ramping lion slept, Since we can not atone you, we shall see And when my uncle told me so, he wept, Nor wink, nor nod, nor kneel, nor make a sign, Deck'd in thy rights, as thou art stall'd in mine! MMMMDCCXLV - "ERRORSNOTEBUTT" Even so void is your false heart of truth. Richard, enough; I will be king, or die. Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, Of those fair suns set in her mistress' sky, Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, O hard-believing love, how strange it seems That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops-- Even in the presence of the crowned king. But this effusion of such manly drops, Unless thou tell'st me where thou hadst this ring, That thou nor none of thine shall be let in. To cozen him that would unjustly win. MMMMDCCXLVI - "ISMYHEARTTHATL" Is love a tender thing? it is too rough, She is not hot, but temperate as the morn; Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff; Yet I not doing this, the fool had borne Huntsman, I charge thee, tender well my hounds; Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, And he hath bought the cottage and the bounds Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: How in his suit he scorn'd you; but your loves, As signal that thou hear'st something approach. To-morrow in the battle think on me, Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee! MMMMDCCXLVII - "OVESWHATTHEYDE" O, send some succor to the distress'd lord! Virtue he had, deserving to command: Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; So nightly toils the subject of the land, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Have aught committed that is hardly borne And may that soldier a mere recreant prove, The woe's to come; the children yet unborn. Tell him, the daughter of the King of France, How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: Your provost knows the place where he abides Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. MMMMDCCXLVIII - "SPISEWHOINDESP" Strangely neglected? when did he regard Promises boys hereafter. Sir, your queen I do beseech ye, if you bear me hard, So much as from occasion you may glean, Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Welcome him then according to his worth. Have done! for shame, if not for charity. Of purpose to obscure my noble birth. If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last, No matter where; of comfort no man speak: Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Sit, worthy friends: my lord is often thus, Pray, entertain them; give them guide to us. MMMMDCCXLIX - "ITEOFVIEWISPLE" In proof whereof, there is my honour's pawn; Thou teachest me, O valiant Eros, what Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Out of my way, unless he bid 'em; but For that my sovereign liege was in my debt Values itself so highly that to her If he were living, I would try him yet. Either to die the death or to abjure Whoe'er I woo, myself would be his wife. I could prevent this storm and shun thy wrack! Still question'd me the story of my life, Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. Look I so pale, Lord Dorset, as the rest? Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMMMDCCL - "ASEDTODOTENORA" A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind; Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Expect him here: when he shall come and find Did not attend him as we rode? I think Thinking that I mean him, but therein suits Of such as have before endured the like. Destruction fang mankind! Earth, yield me roots! Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: The manner of my pity-wanting pain. Establish him in his true sense again, Nothing can come of nothing. Speak again. Or that or any place that harbours men. Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; And happy newness, that intends old right. MMMMDCCLI - "REMINEEARSWITH" Ready to catch each other by the throat, Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note; I know it well, sir, lo, here is the chain. Now, by this hand, I gave it to a youth, End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Even so void is your false heart of truth. As where's that palace whereinto foul things Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault, Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, If I could add a lie unto a fault, That is so proud thy service to despise, He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes. MMMMDCCLII - "THYTONGUESTUNE" That makes me reasonless to reason thus? Having first seized his books, or with a log Your father's sickness is a maim to us. Trust me, I take him for the better dog. Out, some light horsemen, and peruse their wings. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Stand I before thee here. Then if thou hast This is a letter of your own device. Upon Good-Friday and ne'er broke his fast: No, my good lord; he speaks the common tongue, Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMMMDCCLIII - "DELIGHTEDNORTE" Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Let them have scope: though what they do impart I am resolved; 'tis but a three years' fast: God's mercy, maiden! does it curd thy blood He is as worthy for an empress' love Thus are my blossoms blasted in the bud Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir; Never was such a sudden scholar made; Of that sweet way I was in to despair! Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. That's but a cavil; he is old, I young. Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. MMMMDCCLIV - "NDERFEELINGTOB" Needs must I under my transgression bow, Do more than counterpoise a full third part Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. For we no longer are defensible. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Each part in me that were but sensible: Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, Is done unto thy hand: the last she spake Not till it leave the rider in the mire. Give order to my servants that they take That to his borrow'd bed he make retire, O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. By thinking on fantastic summer's heat? MMMMDCCLV - "ASETOUCHESPRON" A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross; Sheathed unaware the tusk in his soft groin. Excited me to treason: their dear loss, That will with two pernicious daughters join Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak. Ceremony was but devised at first Hew down and fell the hardest-timber'd oak. Escap'd the hunt. No port is free, no place Save, from my glass, mine own; nor have I seen Paint till a horse may mire upon your face, Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Of your dear mother England, blush for shame; Nay, would I were so anger'd with the same! MMMMDCCLVI - "ENORTASTENORSM" Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Nay, come, agree whose hand shall go along, Or, if not so, thy noble heart to break: Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, This said, she hasteth to a myrtle grove, Alas, poor Clarence! is it for a wife She conjures him by high almighty Jove, Thanks, noble Titus, father of my life! Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Night,--I tell this tale vilely:--I should first Of this discourse we more will hear anon. Return and tell him so: we know the worst. Sir, for my thoughts, you have them ill to friend My guilt be on my head, and there an end. MMMMDCCLVII - "ELLDESIRETOBEI" Envy your great deservings and good name, Long since thy husband served me in my wars, Like fragments in hard voyages, became Discredit my authority with yours; Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Speak, captain, shall I stab the forlorn swain? I do not bid thee beg my life, good lad; Raze out the written troubles of the brain Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too- O, these are barren tasks, too hard to keep, But does foul pranks which fair and wise ones do. Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: In states unborn and accents yet unknown! MMMMDCCLVIII - "NVITEDTOANYSEN" Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Image of pride, why should I hold my peace? To dispossess that child which is not his? Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears That fell away have entertainment, but On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! A fiend, a fury, pitiless and rough; Nor should that nation boast it so with us, You'll mar the light by taking it in snuff; Shall I be tempted of the devil thus? Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Not truly speaks; who speaks not truly, lies. MMMMDCCLIX - "SUALFEASTWITHT" So, so; come, give me that: this way; well said. Upon whose weeping margent she was set; And spies a far-off shore where he would tread, Lest I, by marking of your rage, forget For when his headstrong riot hath no curb, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. As I can take it with another herb, Shall I? content: this chair shall be my state, The next degree is England's royal throne; While she, the picture of pure piety, Is he not like thee? is he not thine own? That makes thee strangle thy propriety: He'ld make an end of thy posterity. Thou saw'st them, when I had prosperity. MMMMDCCLX - "HEEALONEBUTMYF" He did, and from my finger snatch'd that ring. Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Even in the presence of the crowned king. And all the peers and nobles of the realm Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Of such as have before endured the like. Now thy proud neck bears half my burthen'd yoke; Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, But the protractive trials of great Jove Upon this business my appearance make Take thou some of it, and seek through this grove: May enter 'twixt the gap of both and take You may be pleased to catch at mine intent Foretell new storms to those already spent. MMMMDCCLXI - "IVEWITSNORMYFI" I'll wear the willow garland for his sake. Very hardly upon such a subject. Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Which made the fault that we cannot correct, I should have scratch'd out your unseeing eyes Thou already, that seest not thy loss in She gave me for my pains a world of sighs: Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, O that my prayers could such affection move! Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Make me but like my thoughts, and I shall prove Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. From whom this tyrant holds the due of birth In aspiration lifts him from the earth. MMMMDCCLXII - "VESENSESCANDIS" Very hardly upon such a subject. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Now, trust me, 'tis an office of great worth Sith in his prime Death doth my love destroy, Either for life or death, upon the earth So many summers dry; scarce any joy Conscience is but a word that cowards use, And then all this thou seest is but a clod Not what you are, I know it will excuse Did march three Frenchmen. Yet, forgive me, God, I think I shall command your welcome here, Speak, of all loves! I swoon almost with fear. MMMMDCCLXIII - "SUADEONEFOOLIS" So great fear of my name 'mongst them was spread, Unto the poor King Reignier, whose large style Alack the day! he's gone, he's kill'd, he's dead! Deep, hollow, treacherous, and full of guile, Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Or lay on that shall make your shoulders crack. No care, no stop! so senseless of expense, Even like a man new haled from the rack, From forth this morsel of dead royalty, Or whether gasted by the noise I made, O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? Let it fall rather, though the fork invade I thank you, sir; and pray you tell me this: Strangers and foes do sunder, and not kiss. MMMMDCCLXIV - "HHEARTFROMSERV" Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, Hath after thee sent all thy treasure, with Each in his office ready at thy beck. And, after that wise prince, Henry the Fifth, Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. The anger'd ocean foams; with which I meant Fortune had left to both of us alike Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, O monstrous beast, how like a swine he lies! My lord, your sorrow was too sore laid on, So, Bassianus, you have play'd your prize: Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. MMMMDCCLXV - "INGTHEEWHOLEAV" It stops me here; it is too much of joy: Nor ne'er wed woman, if you be not she. Give with thy trumpet a loud note to Troy, Then yield, my lords; and here conclude with me How fain would I have hated all mankind! Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind, When most impeach'd stands least in thy control. He does deny him, in respect of his, O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Love is too young to know what conscience is; Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, And for this cause awhile we must neglect Very hardly upon such a subject. MMMMDCCLXVI - "ESUNSWAYDTHELI" Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, Usurps her cheek; she trembles at his tale, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. Submissive fall his princely feet before, We lop away, that bearing boughs may live: Ay, that I had not done a thousand more. You are my all the world, and I must strive Doubt not, my lord, they shall be well opposed. To add a more rejoicing to the prime, How covert matters may be best disclosed, Exception bid him speak, and at this time Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve I wish you well, and so I take my leave. MMMMDCCLXVII - "KENESSOFAMANTH" Knock at my door, and tell me what he says. Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Nor I nor any man that but man is End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Stand by, my masters: bring him near the king; Sheathed unaware the tusk in his soft groin. O, be remember'd, no outrageous thing Full thirty thousand marks of English coin. Are some brown, some black, some auburn, some bald, My lord protector will, I doubt it not, At their money: these debts may well be called Noble she is, but if she have forgot The rather by these arguments of fear, How many goodly creatures are there here! MMMMDCCLXVIII - "YPROUDHEARTSSL" Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young Peacock's feather. You'll never trust his word Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. Upon whose weeping margent she was set; Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? He that is strucken blind cannot forget Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: As venom toads, or lizards' dreadful stings. Religion to the gods, peace, justice, truth, That from the seedness the bare fallow brings Says that you savour too much of your youth, Spurns at his love and scorns the heat he feels, Looks pale, as if a bear were at his heels. MMMMDCCLXIX - "AVEANDVASSALWR" An anchor's cheer in prison be my scope, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. England did never owe so sweet a hope, And I will take it as a sweet disgrace Nativity, once in the main of light, Do not yourself such wrong, who are in this Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight A leaner action rend us. What's amiss, See you these, husband? do not these fair yokes Such an immodest raiment, if shame live As loud, and to as many tunes: hats, cloaks-- Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Where truth is hid, though it were hid indeed Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. MMMMDCCLXX - "ETCHTOBEONLYMY" Extremity of griefs would make men mad; That I should seem to lack humanity Consent to pay thee that I never had! Harry the Fifth is crown'd. Up, vanity: Thy tears are salter than a younger man's, O, they love least that let men know their love. By me thou shalt have justice at his hands. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. No noise, but silence and eternal sleep: Let's to the Capitol. Would half my wealth Your potent and infectious fevers heap My liege, I'll knock once more to summon them. You see how simple and how fond I am. MMMMDCCLXXI - "PLAGUETHUSFARI" Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words, Lob down their heads, dropping the hides and hips, And of their feather many more proud birds, Gentle Lavinia, let me kiss thy lips. Upon the next live creature that it sees. Ere you with grief had spoke and I had heard The Dauphin hath prevail'd beyond the seas; Had I it written, I would tear the word. Unless Lord Suffolk straight be done to death, Shall falter under foul rebellion's arms. Fainting, despair; despairing, yield thy breath! As if the boy should use like loving charms; Retire again, till, meeting greater ranks, I take my leave with many thousand thanks. MMMMDCCLXXII - "COUNTMYGAINTHA" Come, son, away; we may not linger thus. O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Unless by robbing of your friends and us. Nor to the motion of a schoolboy's tongue, They that my trust must grow to, live not here: Midway between your tents and walls of Troy, Yes, when his holy state is touch'd so near. Go, rate thy minions, proud insulting boy! And found him pight to do it, with curst speech I pray you all, tell me what they deserve Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach; Then, York, be still awhile, till time do serve: Heaven, be thou gracious to none alive, And, uncle, so will I, an if I live. MMMMDCCLXXIII - "TSHETHATMAKESM" That hath enrag'd him on to offer strokes, Since, spite of him, I'll live in this poor rhyme, How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? Exception bid him speak, and at this time That floated with thee on the fatal raft? Henry is youthful and will quickly yield. And this deceit loses the name of craft, Than foemen's marks upon his batter'd shield; Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's Ay, if thou wilt say 'ay' to my request; Keep house and ply his book, welcome his friends, Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Sirrah Jack, thy horse stands behind the hedge: My heart is thirsty for that noble pledge. MMMMDCCLXXIV - "ESINAWARDSMEPA" Every man shift for all the rest, and Sleeping or waking must I still prevail, I go, Andronicus: and for thy hand No sooner had they told this hellish tale, And give it Timon, why, the dog coins gold. Where kings command. I was, I must confess, And thou shalt be the third if this sword hold. Resolvedly more leisure shall express: Destroy'd his country, and his name remains So I were out of prison and kept sheep, My duty then shall pay me for my pains: Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Philip of France, on peril of a curse, Agrees not with the leanness of his purse. MMMMDCCLXXV - "INLOVEISMYSINA" If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Ere further leisure yield them further means Indeed, I should have ask'd you that before. Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? Matter against him that for ever mars Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Shall I so much dishonour my fair stars, It is the cause. Yet I'll not shed her blood; Nay, in all confidence, he's not for Rhodes. And so it is. I wonder what it bodes. MMMMDCCLXXVI - "NDTHYDEARVIRTU" None but a holy hermit and her maid. Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen: Tell him, it is for justice and for aid, He doth intend she shall be England's queen. Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Dark night, that from the eye his function takes, Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks; Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last, Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; That spots and stains love's modest snow-white weed. Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. MMMMDCCLXXVII - "EHATEHATEOFMYS" Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, How doth my lady? Is my father well? And you must cut this flesh from off his breast: Then like a Roman bear the truth I tell: Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought How ill-beseeming is it in thy sex And they shall say, when Richard me begot, That one day bloom'd and fruitful were the next. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Of Hymen's purest bed! thou valiant Mars! For me, the gold of France did not seduce; May not be punish'd with my thwarting stars, Your children were vexation to your youth, Shall I not lie in publishing a truth? MMMMDCCLXXVIII - "INGROUNDEDONSI" In weeping after this untimely bier. Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! Go, by this token: rise, and lend thine ear: Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, No doubt, my liege, if each man do his best. Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Doth more solicit me than your exclaims, Or else you use not. You look pale and gaze Now, for I know the Breton Richmond aims So may a thousand actions, once afoot. If son to Talbot, die at Talbot's foot. MMMMDCCLXXIX - "NFULLOVINGOBUT" Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, For I would commune with you of such things Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel. Lest he that is the supreme King of kings Lorenzo, I commit into your hands O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; I must have patience to endure the load: Never, before this day, in all his life. Governs Lord Angelo; a man whose blood O, shall I say, I thank you, gentle wife? But now will canker-sorrow eat my bud Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf! That death in me at others' lives may laugh. MMMMDCCLXXX - "WITHMINECOMPAR" Whose foot spurns back the ocean's roaring tides I sent your message; who return'd her thanks The current that with gentle murmur glides, How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit In his own conduct, purposely to take No point, quoth I; my servant straight was mute. Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make Come, now a roundel and a fairy song; Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. Most noble brother, you have done me wrong. Peacock's feather. You'll never trust his word All ports I'll bar; the villain shall not scape; Rome will despise her for this foul escape. MMMMDCCLXXXI - "ETHOUTHINEOWNS" Else you may be marvellously mistook. To whom this wreath of victory I give, He was the mark and glass, copy and book, Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Unknown to you, unsought, were clipp'd about Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe, Have I not heard these islanders shout out I answer is most false. The duke by law Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. O, then his lines would ravish savage ears Where a malignant and a turban'd Turk No rest be interposer 'twixt us twain. Sun, hide thy beams! Timon hath done his reign. MMMMDCCLXXXII - "TATEANDTHOUSHA" That winter lion, who in rage forgets An esperance so obstinately strong, Then they could smile and fawn upon his debts Else had she with her father rang'd along. And in thy best consideration check Not prizing her poor infant's discontent; Direct mine arms I may embrace his neck, That were embattailed and rank'd in Kent: Hence, pack! there's gold; you came for gold, ye slaves: Out of a fortitude of soul I feel, Untimely smother'd in their dusky graves. Shall more obey than to the edge of steel However faulty, yet should find respect All that may men approve or men detect! MMMMDCCLXXXIII - "LTFINDITMERITS" Lucretia's glove, wherein her needle sticks: The earth, in love with thee, thy footing trips, For thy three thousand ducats here is six. I would not thy good deeds should from my lips No; let him die, in that he is a fox, Do more than counterpoise a full third part It were a better death than die with mocks, The execution of his wit, hands, heart, My uncle Rivers talk'd how I did grow Entreated me to call and know her mind: Receive them then, the tribute that I owe, I do, my lord; and in her eye I find The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge So says the bond: doth it not, noble judge? MMMMDCCLXXXIV - "NOTREPROVINGOR" Nay, do not wonder at it: you are made Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. They live unwoo'd and unrespected fade, Rebuke and dread correction wait on us Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Plead what I will be, not what I have been; Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Only in this disguise I think't no sin Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Richard hath best deserved of all my sons. MMMMDCCLXXXV - "IFITDONOTFROMT" Is nothing left me but my body's length. For nothing canst thou to damnation add Inferreth arguments of mighty strength, The morning's danger, and their gesture sad Deny your love, so rich within his soul, On this side my hand, and on that side yours. Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars To part so slightly with your wife's first gift: Fie! charity, for shame! speak not in spite, Rather than die at once!) taught me to shift O, how I faint when I of you do write, Musing and sighing, with your arms across, To him that bears the strong offence's cross. MMMMDCCLXXXVI - "HOSELIPSOFTHIN" Her mother, ever strong against that match Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Sets down her babe and makes an swift dispatch Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Long mayst thou live in Richard's seat to sit, In a great pool a swan's nest: prithee, think Pleading so wisely in excuse of it! Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Of amber, crystal, and of beaded jet, For two and twenty sons I never wept, Thanks, good Montgomery; but we now forget Had all your quarters been as safely kept If I my lord, for my opinion bleed, Now, mistress, profit you in what you read? MMMMDCCLXXXVII - "ETHATHAVEPROFA" Enough, captain: you have astonished him. The jewel in my dower, I would not wish Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- And of a dragon and a finless fish, The princess comes to hunt here in the park, He has no children. All my pretty ones? And when the fit was on him, I did mark Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons. Each heart in Rome does love and pity you: Presentation of that he shoots his wit. Roses of shadow, since his rose is true? O, throw away the worser part of it, From whom you now must steal and take no leave, Alas, what does this gentleman conceive? MMMMDCCLXXXVIII - "NEDTHEIRSCARLE" Narcissus so himself himself forsook, Err'd in this point which now you censure him, Damn'd in the first beginners!--gan to look That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. He only lived but till he was a man; Establish him in his true sense again, Is it no more to be your daughter than Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. See where he is, who's with him, what he does: Come, good Lorenzo. Fare ye well awhile: As gentle tell me, of what honour was Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Losing his verdure even in the prime England ne'er had a king until his time. MMMMDCCLXXXIX - "TORNAMENTSANDS" Though light, take pieces for the figure's sake: Of fair King Richard, scrap'd from Pomfret stones; Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. Not I; unless the breath of heartsick groans, And do you now strew flowers in his way Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten flint; Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Nor make replies of loathness: take the hint This night I hold an old accustom'd feast, Some high, some low, the painter was so nice; Add thus much more, that no Italian priest Now I begin to relish thy advice; Despite of suit, to see a lady's face. So many miles with a pretence? this place? MMMMDCCXC - "EALDFALSEBONDS" Extremity of griefs would make men mad; And ever and anon they made a doubt Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad? Dreading the curse that money may buy out; For his advantage still did wake and sleep: And ere we have thy youthful wages spent Lays open all the little worms that creep; So shall each lord of Greece, from tent to tent: Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Boy. Now bless thyself: thou mettest with things On either side I come to spend my breath; No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Distress likes dumps when time is kept with tears. Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? MMMMDCCXCI - "OFLOVEASOFTASM" Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, For Pyramus therein doth kill himself. Looks on alike. Will't please you, sir, be gone? Of their afflictions, and shall not myself, Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, And yet salt water blinds them not so much So his unhallow'd haste her words delays, Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, For such a one we show'd 'em: if they smile, This and my food are equals; there's no odds: And here he means to spend his time awhile: Save that, for reverence to some alive, Mistress Ford: we will thrive, lads, we will thrive. MMMMDCCXCII - "INEROBBDOTHERS" I know the shape of's leg: this is his hand; Nor should thy prowess want praise and esteem, Every man shift for all the rest, and Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem O father Abram, what these Christians are, But you shall shine more bright in these contents Bless him at home in peace, whilst I from far Dissemble all your griefs and discontents: Or Edward's soft and pitiful, like mine That cannot do that feat, you'll leave yourself Hold, take thou this, my sweet, and give me thine, Else would he never so demean himself. Ruff and sing; ask questions and sing; pick his Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! MMMMDCCXCIII - "BEDSREVENUESOF" Bak'd and impasted with the parching streets, Each changing place with that which goes before, Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Strikes life into my speech and shows much more Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Visit the speechless sick and still converse Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Effect it with some care, that he may prove Soft; by and by. Let me the curtains draw. O, that prone lust should stain so pure a bed! For all the Welshmen, hearing thou wert dead. MMMMDCCXCIV - "THEIRRENTSBEIT" The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace. Her richest lockram 'bout her reechy neck, Extinguishing his conduct in this case; I shall have share in this most happy wreck. Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Rode on his tide. Go tell him this, and add, Environed with all these hideous fears? Now, out of doubt Antipholus is mad, This do, and do it kindly, gentle sirs; Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: Breaks out to savage madness. Look he stirs: Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. I did suppose it should be on constraint: That Caesar will not grant. O, I grow faint. MMMMDCCXCV - "LAWFULILOVETHE" Let him be ransom'd: never master had And, like her true nobility, she has Who takes offence at that would make me glad? For we intend so to dispose you as Unfurnish'd of her well-beseeming troop? Long may he live in fortunes! Shall we in? I would attach you all and make you stoop Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin One on another's neck, do witness bear Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Either be patient, and entreat me fair, That I have fondly flatter'd her withal. Hath he excepted most against my love. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMMMDCCXCVI - "EASTHOULOVESTT" Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, As doth a ruler with unlawful oaths; Save when command to your dismission tends, Thrice hath this Hotspur, Mars in swathling clothes, Hast thou observed that? even she, I mean. O my dear father, restoration hang Under your good correction, I have seen, Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets' clang? On Tuesday last to listen after news. Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Something- I know not what- I'll love thee much- To desperation turn my trust and hope, That I was sent for nothing but a rope! MMMMDCCXCVII - "HOSEWHOMTHINEE" Here! go; the desk, the purse! sweet, now, make haste. Or else dries up; to be discarded thence! Since Rome herself in them doth stand disgraced, Eye well to you: your honour calls you hence; Which shackles accidents and bolts up change; How joyful am I made by this contract! O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! Mine hair be fixed on end, as one distract; The whilst their own birds famish in their nests: He will do all in all as Hastings doth. Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts. Now, as I can remember, by my troth, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. MMMMDCCXCVIII - "YESWOOASMINEIM" Your mother lives a witness to that vow-- Enacted wonders with his sword and lance: So swift a pace hath thought that even now Welcome, brave Warwick! What brings thee to France? Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Or you stol'n his? or both? Pray, what's the news? A fox to be the shepherd of thy lambs. Shall be the war that Henry means to use. My noble queen, let former grudges pass, I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give; Now, what a thing it is to be an ass! Even for this let us divided live, I see, as in a map, the end of all. Madam, it is, so you stand pleased withal. MMMMDCCXCIX - "PORTUNETHEEROO" Prove you that any man with me conversed O king, believe not this hard-hearted man! Return and tell him so: we know the worst. This his good melancholy oft began, Upon a just survey, take Titus' part, Nature dispenses with the deed so far Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! That two such noble peers as ye should jar! Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's End in one purpose, and be all well borne Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, O, who hath any cause to mourn but I? O fairest beauty, do not fear nor fly! MMMMDCCC - "TPITYINTHYHEAR" The king doth smile at; and is well prepared Part of your cares you give me with your crown. In things right true my heart and eyes have erred, There is a remedy, approved, set down, You know that you are Brutus that speak this, I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give; No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. Too good to be so and too bad to live, Hostility and civil tumult reigns Your faithful service and your toil in war; Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains. Each changing place with that which goes before, And fetch the chain; by this I know 'tis made: Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. MMMMDCCCI - "TTHATWHENITGRO" Than is my deed to my most painted word. These words will cost ten thousand lives this day. Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, And whom he strikes his cruel tushes slay. That he his high authority abused, Will not permit mine eyes once to behold How were they lost? what treachery was used? Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: No great offence belongs to't, give your friend I come to have thee thrust me out of doors. To who, my lord? Who has the office? Send Grey of Northumberland, this same is yours: Reflect on Rome as Titan's rays on earth, Of purpose to obscure my noble birth. MMMMDCCCII - "WSTHYPITYMAYDE" Why, Doctor She: my lord, there's one arrived, Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? Thou wast not to this end from me derived. He bears the sentence well that nothing bears You would for paradise break faith, and troth; Poor queen and son, your labour is but lost; I pray you, tell me how my good friend doth. The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, Your private grudge, my Lord of York, will out, Mount them, and make incision in their hides, And so I would be here, but that I doubt Your provost knows the place where he abides Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMMMDCCCIII - "SERVETOPITIEDB" She that was ever fair and never proud, Else you may be marvellously mistook. Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. To bring you thus together, 'tis no sin, Out of mine own; his days and times are past Prithee, get thee in: would thou hadst ne'er been If she unmask her beauty to the moon. To France, to France, and get what you have lost; It is too heavy for so light a tune. Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee. By this, I hope, she hath a son for me. MMMMDCCCIV - "EIFTHOUDOSTSEE" Enough to purchase what you have made known. Ingross'd by swift impress; in Caesar's fleet For no name fits thy nature but thy own! That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat Here, with a cup that's stored unto the brim,-- Of all base passions, fear is most accursed. Under the colour of commending him, Dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst. O, yet defend me, friends! I am but hurt.

Whose smile and frown, like to Achilles' spear, Here is her picture: let me see; I think, And you shall have your bosom on this wretch, To give mine enemy a lasting wink; Think you I can a resolution fetch He cares not for your weeping. Speak thou, boy: Or sells eternity to get a toy? MMMMDCCCVI - "UDOSTHIDEBYSEL" Uncharitably with me have you dealt, Dares stir a wing, if Warwick shake his bells. O that this too too solid flesh would melt, Sweet thief, whence didst thou steal thy sweet that smells, To make a stale of me amongst these mates? Have utter'd truth: which if you seek to prove, Instance, O instance! strong as Pluto's gates; Did all the chivalry of England move Edward thy son, which now is Prince of Wales, But prosper better than the Trojan did. Your breath of full consent bellied his sails; Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Live, and beget a happy race of kings! MMMMDCCCVII - "FEXAMPLEMAYSTT" For being ignorant to whom it goes Establish him in his true sense again, eXcept it be to pray against thy foes. And he is bred out of that bloody strain Make an extent upon his house and lands.

Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' Enchanted Tarquin answers with surmise, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, I love thee, and it is my love that speaks-- Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Doth shine upon the dead man's earthy cheeks, Lest zeal, now melted by the windy breath Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, And he to yours, and all of you to God's! MMMMDCCCIX - "SACAREFULHOUSE" Sweats in the eye of Phoebus and all night And, Somerset, we'll commit thee thither, Come down, and welcome me to this world's light; And Julia herself hath brought it hither. Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

She's far enough; and what he learns by this The issue of your proper wisdoms rate, Only compound me with forgotten dust; Come pat betwixt too early and too late And most deceiving when it seems most just; Thou know'st I do: I call'd thee by thy name. Come, come, dispatch; 'tis bootless to exclaim. MMMMDCCCXI - "HONEOFHERFEATH" He would quickly have the gift of a grave. O, be thou Dian, and let her be Kate; Nor other satisfaction do I crave, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. O, never say that I was false of heart, Forgive my fearful sails!

Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Razing the characters of your renown, Force should be right; or rather, right and wrong, Enow to press a royal merchant down And thus still doing, thus he pass'd along.

MMMMDCCCXIV - "NHERBABEANDMAK" Now to plain-dealing; lay these glozes by: Had tongue at will and yet was never loud, Enough; I read your fortune in your eye.

Small things make base men proud: this villain here, And in thy best consideration check Nothing of that shall from mine eyes appear. Say that she be; yet Valentine thy friend Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. I, his sole son, do this same villain send Fight for your king, your country and your lives; The truth is then most done not doing it: Defence absence.

He is not yet arrived: nor know I aught An't please your grace, the two great cardinals Virtue itself of vice must pardon beg- Each battle sees the other's umber'd face; Sir Robert never holp to make this leg. Thou told'st me, when we came from horse, the place And so, ere answer knows what question would, Yet I must speak. Choose your revenge yourself; Was this inserted to make interest good? How full of valour did he bear himself If I did stay to look on his intents. Look, how thy wounds do bleed at many vents! MMMMDCCCXIX - "STHERNEGLECTED" Should she kneel down in mercy of this fact, Tell her I send to her my kind commends; How can they then assist me in the act? Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Not I, but my affairs, have made you wait: Egregious murderer, thief, any thing Go hence; good night; and here stands all your state: Lest he should hold it her own gross abuse, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last.

Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, Deep in the thigh, a spectacle of ruth!

You shall mark Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live Is so from sense in hardness, that I can Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss.

Britain is Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: When that the sleeping man should stir; for 'tis He hath but as offended in a dream!

Yet thanks I must you con Came more and more and fought on part and part, And happily may your sweet self put on Rome, be as just and gracious unto me Either to die the death or to abjure Imagination.

She was a wight, if ever such wight were,-- But yet I'll bury thee: thou'lt go, strong thief, English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Now is that noble vessel full of grief, Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north This might have been prevented and made whole O, how this discord doth afflict my soul! MMMMDCCCXXIV - "FOLLOWTHATWHIC" From forth the noise and rumour of the field, Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, Lies my consent and fair according voice. Oft does them by the weakest minister: Was it so late, friend, ere you went to bed, To keep the oath that we administer: Her face the book of praises, where is read Although, my lord, I know my noble aunt Then, in despite of brooded watchful day, Watching breeds leanness, leanness is all gaunt: Hear me, grave fathers! noble tribunes, stay! Is it no more to be your daughter than Colbrand the giant, that same mighty man? MMMMDCCCXXV - "HFLIESBEFOREHE" Here comes Ancient Pistol and his wife: good For it is known we were but hollow friends: Lest it be said 'Speak, sirrah, when you should; I'll kiss each several paper for amends.

MMMMDCCCXXVI - "RFACENOTPRIZIN" Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Farewell, and take her; but direct thy feet All our merry meetings on the plains, Could force his soul so to his own conceit Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Nor I cannot woo in festival terms. Of what she was no semblance did remain: Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. Possess the people in Messina here Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, Zounds, I bleed still; I am hurt to the death. It lifted up it head and did address Now, fair one, does your business follow us?

Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Patience awhile, good Cassio. Come, come; O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! O, why should wrath be mute, and fury dumb? Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; I have stood by, my lord, and I have heard No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings For do but note a wild and wanton herd, A glooming peace this morning with it brings; No, no, my sovereign; Gloucester is a man To keep mine own, excuse it how she can. MMMMDCCCXXVIII - "SDISCONTENTSOR" Since he hath got the jewel that I loved, Durst make too bold a herald of my tongue I'll set a bourn how far to be beloved. So flew'd, so sanded, and their heads are hung Compassion on the king commands me stoop; O, who can give an oath? where is a book? No? Saw you not, even now, a blessed troop Then have my lips the sin that they have took. Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Nor ever had one penny bribe from France. This token serveth for a flag of truce Since you are strangers and come here by chance, Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb Rot and consume themselves in little time. MMMMDCCCXXIX - "UNNSTTHOUAFTER" Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; Naming thy name blesses an ill report. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Such as befits the pleasure of the court? Thou'lt torture me to leave unspoken that That I, in forgery of shapes and tricks, Her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat, Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six Upon the valleys, whose low vassal seat And, to say truth, Verona brags of him For he that brought them, in the very heat That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. Even so void is your false heart of truth. Remains in danger of her former tooth. MMMMDCCCXXX - "THATWHICHFLIES" To blot old books and alter their contents, Her cheeks with chaps and wrinkles were disguised; And--God consigning to my good intents- Than history can pattern, though devised What now? how chance thou art return'd so soon? Her wagon-spokes made of long spiders' legs, If she unmask her beauty to the moon. Comes sneaking and so sucks her princely eggs, He doth again repeat, and that they swore.

Speak to thy father ere thou yield thy breath! MMMMDCCCXXXI - "FROMTHEEWHILST" Forage in blood of French nobility. Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Out of my lean and low ability My father's goods are all distrain'd and sold, That cropp'd the golden prime of this sweet prince, Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Why he cannot abide a gaping pig; How to divide the conquest of thy sight; I Pompey am, Pompey surnamed the Big-- Lie with his wife. Come to me soon at night. Say it did so a little time before To warrant thee, as I am 'rested for. MMMMDCCCXXXII - "ITHYBABECHASET" I'ld give thee leave to hang it. Get thee gone. To lead out many to the Holy Land, Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn. Your honour hath no shriving work in hand. By what by-paths and indirect crook'd ways And not a man of them shall have the grace, By holy crosses, where she kneels and prays Either withdraw unto some private place, Choler does kill me that thou art alive; He that will think to live till he be old, As surely as my soul intends to live Should I, in these my borrow'd flaunts, behold England and France might, through their amity, To bear the tidings of calamity. MMMMDCCCXXXIII - "HEEAFARBEHINDB" Have I my pillow left unpress'd in Rome, Enow to press a royal merchant down Employ'd you where high profits might come home, And, when I spy advantage, claim the crown, For with the dark, poor thief, I'll steal away. Although she knows my days are past the best, Rail on the Lord's enointed: strike, I say! Bend their best studies, heartily request Else shall you not have any hand at all He might have took his answer long ago. I play the torturer, by small and small Nay, to thy mere confusion, thou shalt know Deck'd in thy rights, as thou art stall'd in mine! By any understanding pate but thine? MMMMDCCCXXXIV - "UTIFTHOUCATCHT" Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most. Their harness studded all with gold and pearl. It would become me better than to close For I will love thee ne'er the less, my girl. This mercy shows we'll joy in such a son: His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last, Of this most grievous guilty murder done! Unto the main! O father, Maine is lost; Come, come, no longer will I be a fool, And with a great heart heave away the storm: This deed I'll do before this purpose cool. Crowd us and crush us to this monstrous form Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice To strive for that which resteth in my choice. MMMMDCCCXXXV - "HYHOPETURNBACK" He dies that touches any of this fruit You are my guests. Do me no foul play, friends. He shall not boast who did thy stock pollute O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends Philip of France, in right and true behalf Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Though he divide the realm and give thee half, Under her other was the tender boy, Rising and cawing at the gun's report, Nor be not grieved- she is of good esteem, But we are spirits of another sort: And all in vain you strive against the stream; Cry shame upon her? Could she here deny Keep the wild flood confin'd! Let order die! MMMMDCCCXXXVI - "TOMEANDPLAYTHE" Through my burn'd bosom, nor entreat the north Or if that thou couldst see me without eyes, My ashes, as the phoenix, may bring forth Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, And yours of Helena to me bequeath, Now, Falstaff, where have you been all this while? Defiance, traitors, hurl we in your teeth: Plain and not honest is too harsh a style. Let in that amity which you have made; Ay, madam, from the reach of these my hands: You saw the mistress, I beheld the maid; To act her earthy and abhorr'd commands, He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. MMMMDCCCXXXVII - "MOTHERSPARTKIS" Marking the embarked traders on the flood, Or that we would, against the form of law, The basin that receives your guilty blood. Her eyes, though sod in tears, look'd red and raw, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Remember whom you are to cope withal; Sit with my cousin; lend him your kind pains Perhaps you mark'd not what's the pith of all. Any hard lesson that may do thee good. Remove these thoughts from you: the which before That tide will stay me longer than I should. Keeps good old York there with his men of war? I'll have some proof. Her name, that was as fresh Should have thus little mercy on their flesh? MMMMDCCCXXXVIII - "SMEBEKINDSOWIL" So be my grave my peace as here I give My lord, you do discomfort all the host! Even for this let us divided live, But in his clothes; and one that hath spoke most Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure I should my tears let fall upon your cheek, Now by my maiden honour, yet as pure Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws Of all his people and freeze up their zeal, Whose ruin you have sought, that to her laws It is a bawdy planet, that will strike Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. MMMMDCCCXXXIX - "LIPRAYTHATTHOU" Linger your patience on; and we'll digest In thy sweet semblance my old age new born; Pardon me, princely Henry, and the rest Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, Ay me! what news? why dost thou wring thy hands? Yet did repent me, after more advice; Thy tears are salter than a younger man's, He might have bought me at a common price: As touching France, to give a greater sum Their savage eyes turn'd to a modest gaze The laundress in Datchet-meat; quickly, come. He doth me wrong to feed me with delays. O Perdita, what have we twain forgot! Uneven is the course, I like it not. MMMMDCCCXL - "MAYSTHAVETHYWI" My life I never held but as a pawn And sigh'd his soul toward the Grecian tents, Your nobles will not hear you, but are gone Subject and servile to all discontents, That my steel'd sense or changes right or wrong. His secret murders sticking on his hands; Away! for thou hast stay'd us here too long. Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, To comfort you: I wot well where he is. How under my oppression I did reek, Your resolution cannot hold, when 'tis Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. I lost my liberty and they their lives. MMMMDCCCXLI - "LLIFTHOUTURNBA" Lord Titus, by your leave, this maid is mine. Lest parties, as he is beloved, break out, In her consists my happiness and thine; For 'tis no trusting to yond foolish lout, Thou plantest scandal and displacest laud: He gives me so much of mine own, as I Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad, Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie. The king is set from London; and the scene Unto the sovereign mercy of the king; Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; Blood hath bought blood and blows have answered blows; A fool go with thy soul, whither it goes! MMMMDCCCXLII - "CKANDMYLOUDCRY" Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, Knock; never at quiet! What are you? But An ancient angel coming down the hill Nay, sometime hangs both thief and true man: what Double six thousand, and then treble that, My father's goods are all distrain'd and sold, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat Look you, I love you well; I'll give you gold, Or never after look me in the face: Upon the next live creature that it sees. Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! Come, he hath hid himself among these trees, Revolving this will teach thee how to curse. Your treatise makes me like you worse and worse. MMMMDCCCXLIII - "INGSTILLTWOLOV" If I do feign, you witnesses above No more my grief, in such a precious loss. Good shepherd, tell this youth what 'tis to love. Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Too good to be so and too bad to live, I will assume thy part in some disguise Love for thy love and hand for hand I give. Lend me a fool's heart and a woman's eyes, Though that my death were adjunct to my act, With a foul traitor's name stuff I thy throat; Of all my buried ancestors are packed: Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat O sinful thought! Never so rich a gem Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? MMMMDCCCXLIV - "ESIHAVEOFCOMFO" Empale him with your weapons round about; Swear me, Kate, like a lady as thou art, If you do love me, you will find me out. His pester'd senses to recoil and start, A scaly gauntlet now with joints of steel Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: Of English Henry, shall this night appear For which I must not plead, but that I am Come on, you thick lipp'd slave, I'll bear you hence; O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb Mark how with my neglect I do dispense: For they breathe truth that breathe their words in pain. O valiant lord, the Duke of York is slain! MMMMDCCCXLV - "RTANDDESPAIRWH" Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, To be your comforter when he is gone. And, by this virgin palm now kissing thine Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; Dinner is ready, and your father stays. Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Shall it for shame be spoken in these days, Procure me music ready when he wakes, A vision of the Island, one dear son I'll run from thee and hide me in the brakes, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. Ha! am I king? 'tis so: but Edward lives. MMMMDCCCXLVI - "ICHLIKETWOSPIR" Is't known who did this more than bloody deed? Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; Hath nature that in time will venom breed, Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: If you will lead these graces to the grave Know his gross patchery, love him, feed him, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. Warwick and Huntingdon, go with the king; Of this proud king, who studies day and night See where she comes, apparell'd like the spring, Prepare to lodge their companies to-night. I'll show you here at large. Hark, good mine host. Receiving them from such a worthless post. MMMMDCCCXLVII - "ITSDOSUGGESTME" It is too heavy for so light a tune. That wound, beyond their feeling, to the quick. Say that before Ascension-day at noon Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales. Sometime her grief is dumb and hath no words; Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds. Get the learned writer to set down our Expect your highness' doom of life or death. So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? This kingdom, this confine of blood and breath, Moved with compassion of my country's wreck, Each in his office ready at thy beck. MMMMDCCCXLVIII - "STILLTHEBETTER" So foul a sky clears not without a storm: Than history can pattern, though devised I dare be bound he's true and shall perform Let's, mock them still, as well known as disguised: Let her who would be rid of him devise Though their injunction be to bar my doors How shall I dote on her with more advice, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Behold her that gave aim to all thy oaths, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Thrice hath this Hotspur, Mars in swathling clothes, To me or my swift passage, that I slide Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. MMMMDCCCXLIX - "ANGELISAMANRIG" As, in reproof of many tales devised, Nay, hear you, Kate- in sooth, you scape not so. Good madam, if by me you'll be advised, Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat I'll make a voyage to the Holy Land, Saving your merry humour, here's the note And four shall quickly draw out my command, Mean to establish Caesar as a king; And bring him out that is but woman's son Not on a band, but on a stronger thing; Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. If he fall in, good night! or sink or swim: Go, stand within; let me alone with him. MMMMDCCCL - "HTFAIRTHEWORSE" How like you this wild counsel, mighty states? Thinking to bar thee of succession, as Fall not a tear, I say; one of them rates And, look you, here's your letter; this it says: Infected as her life, she would not live Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, That honour saved may upon asking give? How that ambitious Constance would not cease Even so void is your false heart of truth. Will you not dance? How come you thus estranged? Of strong prevailment in unharden'd youth: Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Sirrah, come hither; 'tis no time to jest, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMMMDCCCLI - "RSPIRITAWOMANC" Reply not to me with a fool-born jest; Supposing it a thing impossible- Perhaps she cull'd it from among the rest. I pray, sir, tell me, is it possible Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. In all reason should have quenched her love, hath, This gentleman told somewhat of my tale,-- And loves to grant, reprieve him from the wrath Well said, old mocker: I must needs be friends O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's And notwithstanding all her sudden quips, Not I, my lord; sith true nobility Corrupting in its own fertility. MMMMDCCCLII - "OLOURDILLTOWIN" Of their afflictions, and shall not myself, Look after him and cannot do him good, Of virtue was she; yea, and she herself. Upon the brook that brawls along this wood! Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is. If that thy father live, let him repent Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Let me entreat, for I command no more, That babies lulls asleep! the smiles of knaves Or with the clamorous report of war Who dies, that bears not one spurn to their graves I hope it be not gone to tell my lord Now sits the wind fair, and we will aboard. MMMMDCCCLIII - "MESOONTOHELLMY" Modest as morning when she coldly eyes Empale him with your weapons round about; Sailing in this salt flood; the winds, thy sighs; Of that true hand that fought Rome's quarrel out, Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents, Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, The provost, he shall bear them, whose contents Or, wanting that, with tears distill'd by moans: Have vanquish'd the resistance of her youth, Else one self mate and mate could not beget Lest I surcease to honour mine own truth Let me put in your minds, if you forget, My hope is gone, now Suffolk is deceased. You know there wants no junkets at the feast. MMMMDCCCLIV - "FEMALEEVILTEMP" Faster than gnats in cobwebs; but her eyes,-- Extremity of griefs would make men mad; My Lord of Suffolk, say, is this the guise, And by me, had not our hap been bad. Lend me the letter; let me see what news. Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse. Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; I do digest the poison of thy flesh, Lend me your knees, and all my life to come There's five to one; besides, they all are fresh. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack: Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back. MMMMDCCCLV - "TETHMYBETTERAN" Their view right on; anon their gazes lend Excepting one, I would he were the best Thou say'st the King grows mad: I'll tell thee, friend, Have all forsook me, hath devour'd the rest; My noble uncle, do you know the cause? Your heart is full of something that does take By sovereignty of nature. First he was England we love; and for that England's sake That any purblind eye may find it out. The better arm you to the sudden time, Empale him with your weapons round about; Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Ay, by my faith, for a poor earl to give: No praise to thee but what in thee doth live. MMMMDCCCLVI - "GELFROMMYSIDEA" Go show your slaves how choleric you are, Each in his office ready at thy beck. Look up a-height. The shrill-gorg'd lark so far From shelves and rocks that threaten us with wreck. Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, Or, if you show your face, you must not speak. Most true it is that I have look'd on truth My ancient incantations are too weak, Yours, Cinna; and, my valiant Casca, yours; Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: I come to have thee thrust me out of doors. Did ever raven sing so like a lark, Ere I could make thee open thy white hand As shall with either part's agreement stand? MMMMDCCCLVII - "NDWOULDCORRUPT" No sooner had they told this hellish tale, Didst thou not mark the king, what words he spake, Well, whiles I am a beggar, I will rail Or I shall live your epitaph to make, Upon a pleasing treaty, and have hearts Lord John of Lancaster, go you with him. Death, having prey'd upon the outward parts, Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn! On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Unwilling I agreed. Alas! too soon, Point against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm. The loss of such a lord includes all harm. MMMMDCCCLVIII - "MYSAINTTOBEADE" More said? he is good and fair. Is Sir John You press me far, and therefore I will yield. Since she is living, let the time run on Ay, in the temple, in the town, the field, I will lay odds that, ere this year expire, Now breathe we, lords: good fortune bids us pause, Thou fumblest, Eros; and my queen's a squire To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws, Of your dear mother England, blush for shame; But, saying thus, instead of oil and balm, Envy your great deservings and good name, Are much condemn'd to have an itching palm; Despite of death that lives upon my grave, Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! MMMMDCCCLIX - "VILWOOINGHISPU" Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; I rather of his absence make this use: Lorenzo, I commit into your hands When reason is the bawd to lust's abuse! Of threescore and two years; a silly time Of which there is not one, I dare avow, In the division of each several crime, Not of this country, though my chance is now Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return. How pomp is follow'd! mine will now be yours; I have a sonnet that will serve the turn So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Post hither, this vile purpose to prevent? Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent. MMMMDCCCLX - "RITYWITHHERFOU" Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, I am resolved that thou shalt spend some time That drums him from his sport, and speaks as loud You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. Which, you say, live to come in my behalf. I wish your horses swift and sure of foot; That death in me at others' lives may laugh. How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Rich preys make true men thieves; so do thy lips For who love I so much? And now who knows Or is he but retired to make him strong? Under whose government come they along? MMMMDCCCLXI - "LPRIDEANDWHETH" Look here, and at thy sovereign leisure read Put into parts, doth keep in one consent, Reveal the damn'd contriver of this deed. In England work your grace's full content. Despite of death that lives upon my grave, England we love; and for that England's sake As thou wilt win my favour, good my knave, No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. Distress likes dumps when time is kept with tears. Whose pitchy mantle over-veil'd the earth. Hath wrought this hellish mischief unawares, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. That cedar-tops and hills seem burnish'd gold. Hold, Toby; on thy life I charge thee, hold! MMMMDCCCLXII - "ERTHATMYANGELB" England, impatient of your just demands, Read over Julia's heart, thy first best love, The strong necessity of time commands Here on my knee I vow to God above, And swim to yonder point?' Upon the word, Therefore no more of it: hear other things. Mann'd with three hundred men, as I have heard; You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, A flourish, trumpets! strike alarum, drums! No, not to lose it all, as thou hast done: Good uncle Marcus, see how swift she comes. Expecting in return twenty for one? Let him be told so; lest perchance he think But must condemn it now. Desist, and drink. MMMMDCCCLXIII - "ETURNDFIENDSUS" Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Thou antic death, which laugh'st us here to scorn, Unless he do submit himself to Rome. Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn, No; for he could not so resign his crown Dismask'd, their damask sweet commixture shown, For him, and in his right, we hold this town. If Richard will be true, not that alone Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Diana's temple is not distant far, So should my papers yellow'd with their age Unto a youthful gentleman of worth, Some stay to see him fasten'd in the earth. MMMMDCCCLXIV - "PECTIMAYBUTNOT" Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears. Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Chiefly that I might set it in my prayers-- The mutiny he there hastes t' oppress; Is for my better grace. Adieu, my lord: Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit Ah, gentle Clifford, kill me with thy sword, Your highness shall do well to grant her suit; Bearing their own misfortunes on the back Unworthy thee,--if ever henceforth thou That I may swear beauty doth beauty lack, Not a dump we; 'tis no time to play now. O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? To stranger blood, to foreign royalty. MMMMDCCCLXV - "DIRECTLYTELLBU" Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns? I know him now. Good God, betimes remove Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Effect it with some care, that he may prove Cheerly to sea; the signs of war advance: The bug which you would fright me with I seek. Look on thy country, look on fertile France, Your hearts will throb and weep to hear him speak. To gratify his noble service that Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Let me have men about me that are fat; Let's to the altar: heralds, wait on us: Be emptied to redeem a traitor home? Unless he do submit himself to Rome. MMMMDCCCLXVI - "TBEINGBOTHFROM" The mercy that was quick in us but late, By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint Eternal numbers to outlive long date. If life did ride upon a dial's point, Not Amurath an Amurath succeeds, Go to him, Dolabella, bid him yield; But thou wilt be avenged on my misdeeds, Or bide the mortal fortune of the field? Thou fumblest, Eros; and my queen's a squire Hostility and civil tumult reigns For who digs hills because they do aspire Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains O, coward that I am, to live so long, Mine shall not do his Julia so much wrong. MMMMDCCCLXVII - "MEBOTHTOEACHFR" Meanwhile I am possess'd of that is mine. East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, But let desert in pure election shine, O, let those cities that of plenty's cup The little number of your doubtful friends. Husband, if thou be so shrewd of thy tongue. There vanish'd in the sunbeams: which portends-- O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Approve their truths by Troilus: when their rhymes, Came on my guard; and at thy tent is now How I have thought of this and of these times, Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, Richard of Bordeaux, by me hither brought. MMMMDCCCLXVIII - "IENDIGUESSONEA" I shall receive the money for the same. England we love; and for that England's sake Now, tell me, how do all from whence you came? Descend to darkness and the burning lake! If ever any malice in your heart Good sister, let us dine and never fret: Unless thou wert more loyal than thou art: Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. Strive to speak big and clap their female joints Speak, Queen of Goths, dost thou applaud my choice? Of the good queen, but the sharp thorny points Never did faithful subject more rejoice Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; And mark what way I make: come, good my lord. MMMMDCCCLXIX - "NGELINANOTHERS" Nature dispenses with the deed so far Give the dozen white luces in their coat. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Like Perseus' horse: where's then the saucy boat I'll tell thee as we pass; but this I pray, Now I but chide; but I should use thee worse, And that I have possess'd him my most stay No, Regan, thou shalt never have my curse. Of things to come at large. It is supposed To stifle beauty and to steal his breath, How covert matters may be best disclosed, Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Save what is had or must from you be took. MMMMDCCCLXX - "HELLYETTHISSHA" Her wrongs to us, and by this bloody knife, Eighty odd years of sorrow have I seen, Like strengthless hinges, buckle under life, Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. You must forget to be a woman; change Enter, and cry 'The Dauphin!' presently, Thou bid'st me beg: this begging is not strange. Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly He counsels a divorce; a loss of her Importing the surrender of those lands She was a wight, if ever such wight were,-- Shall seize this prey out of his father's hands. Hold, hurt him not, for God's sake! he is mad. Amazed, my lord? why looks your highness sad? MMMMDCCCLXXI - "LLINEERKNOWBUT" Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth, Ingross'd by swift impress; in Caesar's fleet Nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth Else ne'er could they hold out so as they do. Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: Roses of shadow, since his rose is true? Keep their fur dry, unbonneted he runs, Not he that sets his foot upon her back. O me, what eyes hath Love put in my head, Will't please your lordship drink a cup of sack? By thy bright beauty was it newly bred. Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, This love feel I, that feel no love in this. MMMMDCCCLXXII - "LIVEINDOUBTTIL" Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, I know him now. Good God, betimes remove Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Effect it with some care, that he may prove I know not, mighty sovereign, but by guess. No, I protest, I know not the contents; Do me but right, and you must all confess Of sallies and retires, of trenches, tents, Urge the necessity and state of times, By such invention as I can devise? These accusations and these grievous crimes To give the onset to thy good advice. In process of the seasons have I seen, Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. MMMMDCCCLXXIII - "LMYBADANGELFIR" Lest bleeding you do paint the white rose red Make me, that nothing have, with nothing grieved, You must not leave me yet: I must to bed; By which the world's best garden be achieved, A cloak as long as thine will serve the turn? Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; And thou shalt see how apt it is to learn Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke, Good night and welcome, both at once, to those Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Let me excuse thee: ah! my love well knows Fled this way, sir. When by no means he could- Impostors to true fear, would well become Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! MMMMDCCCLXXIV - "EMYGOODONEOUTT" Eternal numbers to outlive long date. My lord, this is my daughter here asleep; Yes, and will nobly him remunerate. Go we to council. Let Achilles sleep: Of the adjacent wharfs. The city cast Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast: O spite! too old to be engaged to young. Nothing at all: it is a highwrought flood; Envy your great deservings and good name, Or did the letters work upon his blood, Unhappy were you, madam, ere I came; The basest weed outbraves his dignity: They will digest this harsh indignity. MMMMDCCCLXXV - "HOSELIPSTHATLO" His grief grew puissant, and the strings of life Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Some twenty of them fought in this black strife, Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. Left I the court, to see this quarrel tried. I shall have share in this most happy wreck. Proclaim'd in her a careless hand of pride So did he turn and over Suffolk's neck The time when screech-owls cry and ban-dogs howl, He seeks my life; his reason well I know: And my imaginations are as foul The ills we do, their ills instruct us so. Like men born to renown by life or death. Or know what ground's made happy by his breath. MMMMDCCCLXXVI - "VESOWNHANDDIDM" Visit the speechless sick and still converse Either be gone before the watch be set, Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse, Of common-kissing Titan, and forget Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege; No higher than thyself; the judge's clerk, He never did fall off, my sovereign liege, Ay, marry, sir, now it begins to work. No more perchance does mine, or his, or hers. Despite of death that lives upon my grave, Dear life redeems you. You perceive she stirs: I fear, a madness held me: this must crave, Dear heart, forbear to glance thine eye aside: My Icarus, my blossom, in his pride. MMMMDCCCLXXVII - "AKEBREATHEDFOR" Allons! allons! Sow'd cockle reap'd no corn; Knowing how hardly I can brook abuse? End in one purpose, and be all well borne Believe me, lord, I think he cannot choose. Rather than triumph in so false a foe. Every man shift for all the rest, and And I will make thee think thy swan a crow. Troy must not be, nor goodly Ilion stand; Hew down and fell the hardest-timber'd oak. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke; Forth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep; O God, what mischiefs work the wicked ones, Richard hath best deserved of all my sons. MMMMDCCCLXXVIII - "THTHESOUNDTHAT" Things to strike honour sad. Bid him recount He is at hand; and Pindarus is come There is a gentleman that serves the count Hope, sir, if you thrive, you'll remember from Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, So soon be drawn, nor did he think it meet Out-sweeten'd not thy breath: the ruddock would, Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. Nothing, unless you render her again. Duke of Alencon, this was your default, Thus far, with rough and all-unable pen, How now! what means death in this rude assault? A wonder, lady! lo, upon thy wish, To put good meat into an unclean dish. MMMMDCCCLXXIX - "SAIDIHATETOMET" Small as an eunuch, or the virgin voice And when great treasure is the meed proposed, If thou be pleased with this my sudden choice, Doubt not, my lord, they shall be well opposed. Is not inured; return again in haste; He that has and a little tiny wit- And bitter shame hath spoil'd the sweet world's taste Thy loss is more than can thy portage quit, Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. To know the reason of this strange restraint. Of Corinth that, of Epidaurus this: My sable ground of sin I will not paint, Exceeds, in that, the lists of all advice Thou art a fool to bid me farewell twice. MMMMDCCCLXXX - "HATLANGUISHDFO" Here at the palace I will rest awhile. Ah! but those tears are pearl which thy love sheds, Though yet she speak not. Mark a little while. Loud music is too harsh for ladies' heads, And, hark, what discord follows! each thing meets No; I will sit and watch here by the King. Grew a companion to the common streets, Under his own vine, what he plants; and sing If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trash So many hours must I tend my flock; Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash, Dash'd all to pieces. O, the cry did knock For which I must not plead, but that I am Or shall they last, and we rejoice in them? MMMMDCCCLXXXI - "RHERSAKEBUTWHE" Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Happy in this, she is not yet so old Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood. And bring along these rascal knaves with thee? Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Edward and Richard, you shall stay with me; But how long fairly shall her sweet lie last? Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; Titania waked and straightway loved an ass. William, how many numbers is in nouns? His banners sable, trimm'd with rich expense; Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. MMMMDCCCLXXXII - "NSHESAWMYWOEFU" Nay, rather, wilt thou draw thy forces hence, See, where he comes: so please you, step aside; Her madness hath the oddest frame of sense, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Stand by me, Lucius; do not fear thine aunt. And pill by law. Maid, to thy master's bed; Which fear if better reasons can supplant, Mocking the air with colours idly spread, York lies; he might have sent and had the horse; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: O you most potent gods! what's here? a corse! Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. For if thou path, thy native semblance on, Unto the climate that they point upon. MMMMDCCCLXXXIII - "LSTATESTRAIGHT" Lucretia's glove, wherein her needle sticks: Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; That I, in forgery of shapes and tricks, A thievish living on the common road? That cannot so much as a blossom yield End in one purpose, and be all well borne Seek Percy and thyself about the field: To love a cheek that smiles at thee in scorn! Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. And your reports have set the murder on. I am more proud to be Sir Rowland's son, Gentle thou art and therefore to be won, Hath motion and mine eye may be deceived: Three great oaths would scarce make that be believed. MMMMDCCCLXXXIV - "INHERHEARTDIDM" If it were yours by none of all these ways, Nan Page my daughter and my little son Hallow'd with sighs that burning lungs did raise; Expecting in return twenty for one? Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Harry, withdraw thyself; thou bleed'st too much. Each jealous of the other, as the stung Ah! thus King Henry throws away his crutch Rather he should shrive me than wive me. Come, That does appear as he were flay'd? O gods Door would speak with you: he says he comes from I am content that he shall take the odds Defend the justice of my cause with arms, My spirit can no longer bear these harms. MMMMDCCCLXXXV - "ERCYCOMECHIDIN" Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Remember whom you are to cope withal; Could force his soul so to his own conceit Yet my good will is great, though the gift small. Caesar should be a beast without a heart, O, answer not, but to my closet bring Myself the while to draw the Moor apart, Edward will always bear himself as king: Comfort, my lord; and so I take my leave. He lessens his requests; and to thee sues I come by note, to give and to receive. Dainties to taste, fresh beauty for the use, I answer'd indirectly, as I said; Not spend the dowry of a lawful bed. MMMMDCCCLXXXVI - "GTHATTONGUETHA" Green dropping sap, which she compares to tears. To hear and see her plaints, her brinish tears. Hath from the number of his banish'd years As begging hermits in their holy prayers: There let them bide until we have devised The worm of conscience still begnaw thy soul! Or live in peace abandon'd and despised! Now must I hide his body in some hole, Go with me; if you like upon report Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs; Except some petty towns of no import: Two kinsmen digg'd their graves with weeping eyes. How smooth and even they do bear themselves! And so I pray you all to think yourselves. MMMMDCCCLXXXVII - "TEVERSWEETWASU" The mellow plum doth fall, the green sticks fast, Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! Respect and reason, wait on wrinkled age! Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough When he is drunk asleep; or in his rage; Embowell'd of their doctrine, have left off Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. The king is angry: see, he bites the lip. When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim And scarr'd the moon with splinters: here I clip Swell'st thou, proud heart? I'll give thee scope to beat, Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. MMMMDCCCLXXXVIII - "SEDINGIVINGGEN" Sith in his prime Death doth my love destroy, Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: Dost thou believe, Orlando, that the boy I may not go without you to the kings. Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt; Gelding the opposed continent as much Is crack'd, and all the precious liquor spilt, Villain, thou know'st the law of arms is such I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats; Ne'er let my heart know merry cheer indeed, Great men should drink with harness on their throats. Grandmother: this proves that thou canst not read. Else had she with her father rang'd along. Nor woo in rhyme, like a blind harper's song! MMMMDCCCLXXXIX - "TLEDOOMANDTAUG" The very tyranny and rage of his. Like or find fault; do as your pleasures are: Ere such another Julius. Britain is Disasters in the sun; and the moist star Out of my lean and low ability Or like a gallant horse fall'n in first rank, Making them proud of his humility, As level as the cannon to his blank, Nor other satisfaction do I crave, Draw that thy honest sword, which thou hast worn To Italy; and there at Venice gave As, to behold desert a beggar born, Unless he do submit himself to Rome. Go back again, thou slave, and fetch him home. MMMMDCCCXC - "HTITTHUSANEWTO" Hold unbewail'd their way. Welcome to Rome; That never saw the giant world enraged; I did obey, and sent my peasant home Than honesty to honesty engaged, The mere despair of surgery, he cures, Hast moved us: what seest thou in our looks? Unto the secret nameless friend of yours; Save base authority from others' books And, look you, here's your letter; this it says: Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: Where horses have been nimbler than the sands The king, thy sovereign, is not quite exempt Of egal justice, used in such contempt? MMMMDCCCXCI - "GREETIHATESHEA" Go search like nobles, like noble subjects, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects Expect him here: when he shall come and find The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, I fear, too many curses on their beads His study is his tilt-yard, and his loves Art thou not sorry for these heinous deeds? Thou seem'st not what thou art, a god, a king; Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Shed yet some small drops from thy tender spring, Have made the ground my bed. I should be sick, Exceeding pleasant; none a stranger there And from his bosom purge this black despair! MMMMDCCCXCII - "LTERDWITHANEND" Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; Then, at the expiration of the year, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Which elder days shall ripen and confirm I do not without danger walk these streets: The gilded newt and eyeless venom'd worm, He that shall live this day, and see old age, And from the organ-pipe of frailty sings Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. End in a word: such is the breath of kings. Nay, but thou shalt stay too: I would my son Devise strange deaths for small offences done? MMMMDCCCXCIII - "THATFOLLOWDITA" Their sacred wills be done! Go, get aboard; How now, Signior Launce! what news with your A truant disposition, good my lord. These promises are fair, the parties sure, For who digs hills because they do aspire Out of his subject; and we here dispatch Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Lo! as a careful housewife runs to catch Only it spoils the pleasure of the time. Where wilt thou find a cavern dark enough Drove back again unto my native clime? Is love a tender thing? it is too rough, To be new-varnish'd! Well, but to my choice: And flatters her it is Adonis' voice. MMMMDCCCXCIV - "SGENTLEDAYDOTH" Stand where the torch may not discover us. Giving myself a voluntary wound Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less No man so potent breathes upon the ground These poor informal women are no more Lean, rent and beggar'd by the strumpet wind! Each changing place with that which goes before, Doth part his function and is partly blind, And may not wear them. O, here comes my nurse, Your plaintain-leaf is excellent for that. Doth ill deserve by doing well; what's worse, Of such contents as you will wonder at; To run upon the sharp wind of the north, How poor Andromache shrills her dolours forth! MMMMDCCCXCV - "FOLLOWNIGHTWHO" For you there's rosemary and rue; these keep Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? Let what is dear in Sicily be cheap: Lo, whilst I waited on my tender lambs, Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Which, to preserve mine honour, I'll perform. No longer yours than you yourself here live: I have, as when the sun doth light a storm, Grace of the duke, revenges to your heart, Here is her father's house; I'll call aloud. That are misled upon your cousin's part; Which the conceited painter drew so proud, How came the noble Timon to this change? O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! MMMMDCCCXCVI - "LIKEAFIENDFROM" Look, what an unthrift in the world doth spend If aught possess thee from me, it is dross, Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, At wakes and wassails, meetings, markets, fairs; For I am falser than vows made in wine; I think it doth: is't frailty that thus errs? Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Needs not the painted flourish of your praise: Dyed in the dying slaughter of their foes: For I am proverb'd with a grandsire phrase; Rear up his body; wring him by the nose. Of fourteen; I have known thee already. My lord, will you walk? dinner is ready. MMMMDCCCXCVII - "HEAVENTOHELLIS" How I have thought of this and of these times, Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? And out of question so it is sometimes, Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Nor ever had one penny bribe from France. That you affect; and so must you resolve, Or how haps it I seek not to advance Ha, ha! how vilely doth this cynic rhyme! Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time. Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste: If quick fire of youth light not your mind, She takes a sword and runs at him behind. MMMMDCCCXCVIII - "FLOWNAWAYIHATE" For I am falser than vows made in wine; Lest the wise world should look into your moan O, 'tis the sun that maketh all things shine. Without a tongue, using conceit alone, No, I protest, I know not the contents; Amazedly in her sad face he stares: With sleight and manhood stole to Rhesus' tents, And on it have bestow'd more contrite tears Yet, in protection of their tender ones, I will not tarry; no, nor ever more Here are the heads of thy two noble sons; Ah. mocker! that's the dog's name; R is for To season love, that of it doth not taste! Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. MMMMDCCCXCIX - "FROMHATEAWAYSH" For fear you ne'er see chain nor money more. Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Of cruel war: sixty and nine, that wore My love shall in my verse ever live young. His sorrows have so overwhelm'd his wits, Art thou not second woman in the realm, To cool this heat, a charm to calm these fits. Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. And by the royalties of both your bloods, Where many of the best respect in Rome, And that same dew, which sometime on the buds Yet to beat down these rebels here at home. She throws her eyes about the painting round, He jests at scars that never felt a wound. MMMMCM - "ETHREWANDSAVED" Even like a man new haled from the rack, Ten thousand bloody crowns of mothers' sons He then unto the ladder turns his back, Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? With sleight and manhood stole to Rhesus' tents, And that the trunk may be discharged of breath No, I protest, I know not the contents; Deaf'd with the clamours of their own dear groans, Swear not by time to come; for that thou hast And make them skirr away, as swift as stones Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Each flower moisten'd like a melting eye; Defiance to the traitor, and so die? MMMMCMI - "MYLIFESAYINGNO" Made proud by princes, that advance their pride You nickname virtue; vice you should have spoke; Lo, what befell! He threw his eye aside, If thou more murmur'st, I will rend an oak For that sweet odour which doth in it live. Each man apart, all single and alone, So kind to heart, 'tis not enough to give; And sundry blessings hang about his throne, You envy my advancement and my friends': I fear, a madness held me: this must crave, Now, as I live, I will. My nobler friends, Gaunt am I for the grave, gaunt as a grave, Never did passenger in summer's heat O, methought there- a- was nothing- a- meet. MMMMCMII - "TYOUPOORSOULTH" Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. Your brother Richard mark'd him for the grave: Out' says the third: 'Hang him up' says the duke. Upon my party! Thou cold-blooded slave, Patience awhile, good Cassio. Come, come; One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; O, why should wrath be mute, and fury dumb? Record it with your high and worthy deeds: Strike, fellows, strike; this is the man I seek. O day! O day! O day! O hateful day! Unless a pardon ere I rise or speak. Let Hercules himself do what he may, Thou that beget'st him that did thee beget; He's not confirm'd; we may deny him yet. MMMMCMIII - "ECENTREOFMYSIN" Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Can be at once, shall step by step attend Exampled by the first pace that is sick Nature's bequest gives nothing but doth lend, Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, O poverty in wit, kingly-poor flout! For he hath still been tried a holy man. My deepest sense, how hard true sorrow hits, Yet I will favour thee in what I can. Some ditch wherein to die; the foul'st best fits I knew her by this jewel on her sleeve. Nor wish no less; and so, I take my leave. MMMMCMIV - "FULEARTHWHYFEE" Free from oppression or the stroke of war, Upon my soul, the hearers will shed tears; Let me entreat, for I command no more, Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, And sets a blister there; makes marriage vows Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves These happy masks that kiss fair ladies' brows How smooth and even they do bear themselves! What merit lived in me, that you should love High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, You have forgot the will I told you of. For who digs hills because they do aspire Each hath his place and function to attend: Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? MMMMCMV - "DSTTHESEREBELP" Discredit my authority with yours; Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse. Threshold till my lord return from the wars. That I should wish for thee to help me curse Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, She tears the senseless Sinon with her nails, Envy the great nor do the low despise. Rome shall record, and when I do forget Entreat her not the worse in that I pray But when a black-faced cloud the world doth threat, Ere I learn love, I'll practise to obey. Love, lend me patience to forbear awhile. Plain and not honest is too harsh a style. MMMMCMVI - "OWERSTHATTHEEA" Of thine affairs, as well as thou of mine? When they have lost and forfeited themselves? Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Sit, my preserver, by thy patient's side; The danger formerly by me rehearsed. He prays but faintly and would be denied; And thankfully rest debtor for the first. To spoil antiquities of hammer'd steel, Though some of you with Pilate wash your hands Had I but served my God with half the zeal England, impatient of your just demands, Even so void is your false heart of truth. A loving nurse, a mother to his youth. MMMMCMVII - "RRAYWHYDOSTTHO" Receiving them from such a worthless post. Remove these thoughts from you: the which before And be it death proclaimed through our host Ye light o' love, with your heels! then, if your When I am sure you hate me with your hearts. How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; You use in abject and in slavish parts, Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat Or any he the proudest of thy sort. Some shipping unrestored: lastly, he frets The last that e'er I took her at court, The wreck of all my friends, nor this man's threats, He dies that touches any of this fruit Or what great danger dwells upon my suit? MMMMCMVIII - "UPINEWITHINAND" Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave Paris should do some vengeance on the Greeks: I'll utter what my sorrows give me leave. Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks, Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought Why, love, I say! madam! sweet-heart! why, bride! If you keep covenant. Had I not brought They say, by him the good Duke Humphrey died; Have utter'd truth: which if you seek to prove, I hazarded the loss of whom I loved. Nay, blush not, Cleopatra; I approve And go in peace, Humphrey, no less beloved No point, quoth I; my servant straight was mute. Do my sighs stream. Sir, will you hear my suit? MMMMCMIX - "SUFFERDEARTHPA" Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough: Until four hundred one and twenty years For look how fresh she looks! They were too rough France, thou shalt rue this treason with thy tears, Each buzz, each fancy, each complaint, dislike, Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Debts wither 'em to nothing; be men like Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. And with dead cheeks advise thee to desist Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list! His nostrils drink the air, and forth again, Poor wasting monuments of lasting moans. And what hear there for welcome but my groans? MMMMCMX - "INTINGTHYOUTWA" If with the sap of reason you would quench, Never did faithful subject more rejoice This note doth tell me of ten thousand French I shall be well content with any choice Not wagging his sweet head; and yet as rough, Gramercy, lovely Lucius: what's the news? Though I confess, on base and ground enough, Hath here distrain'd the Tower to his use. Your letter is with Jupiter by this. On this side my hand, and on that side yours. Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, The mere despair of surgery, he cures, Well, I'll break in: go borrow me a crow. Ay, and perversely she persevers so. MMMMCMXI - "RDWALLSSOCOSTL" Real necessities, and give way the while Doth stop my cornets, were in Talbot's place! When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, And chid his truant youth with such a grace Let us entreat, by honour of his name, Like peasant foot-boys do they keep the walls Showing fair nature is both kind and tame; Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls, Once more adieu! my father at the road Cries to catch her whose busy care is bent O, all that borrow'd motion seeming owed, She is not well. Convey her to my tent. That would have forced your honour and your love; Live scandalized and foully spoken of. MMMMCMXII - "YGAYWHYSOLARGE" You are so noble. To your highness' hand Give me my fan: what, minion! can ye not? Against the state and profit of this land; You holy clergymen, is there no plot Where ever Englishman durst set his foot.

On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin Ay, but thou canst do what I mean to ask. Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Good cousin, be advised; stir not tonight. Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMMCMXIII - "COSTHAVINGSOSH" Can thy right hand seize love upon thy left? Or it hath drawn me rather. But 'tis gone. Steal thine own freedom and complain on theft. The Roman legions, all from Gallia drawn, Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir: And the device he bears upon his shield Values itself so highly that to her I will proclaim my name about the field: Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Gave you a dancing-rapier by your side, Stood challenger on mount of all the age O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide, So shall you quietly enjoy your hope Here comes the holy legate of the pope. MMMMCMXIV - "ORTALEASEDOSTT" O, we have made a vow to study, lords, Record it with your high and worthy deeds: The sweet degrees that this brief world affords As yet not come to life, who in their seeds Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; And we, poor mates, stand on the dying deck, So long in his unlucky Irish wars Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Death, desolation, ruin and decay: O tiger's heart wrapt in a woman's hide! Scare Troy out of itself. But, march away: That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. They be true; if not true, none were enough. MMMMCMXV - "HOUUPONTHYFADI" He was not sad, for he would shine on those Or Edward's soft and pitiful, like mine Upon whose faith and honour I repose. Unto a view so false will not incline; Poor lady, she were better love a dream. Of both is flatter'd; but he neither loves, No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem The blind to bear him speak: matrons flung gloves, He bends her fingers, holds her pulses hard, You came not of one mother then, it seems. Fight till the last gasp; I will be your guard. And banish hence these abject lowly dreams. Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Is near the hate of those love not the king. MMMMCMXVI - "NGMANSIONSPEND" No, girl, I'll knit it up in silken strings Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof: Met I my father with his bleeding rings, And all my pains is sorted to no proof. No longer yours than you yourself here live: Scarce blood enough in all their sickly veins I do not know that Englishman alive Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains, Now, perjured Henry! wilt thou kneel for grace, Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink! Pleads he in earnest? look upon his face; Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Nor never seek prevention of thy foes. Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. MMMMCMXVII - "SHALLWORMSINHE" She stripp'd it from her arm; I see her yet; He bow'd his nature, never known before As sure a card as ever won the set; Let those whom Nature hath not made for store, Look, Lucius, here's the book I sought for so; Will make him fly an ordinary pitch, O, let us pay the time but needful woe, Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which My soul upon the forfeit, that your lord Somewhat too sudden, sirs, the warning is; If thy offences were upon record, Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Ha, ha! how vilely doth this cynic rhyme! England ne'er had a king until his time. MMMMCMXVIII - "RITORSOFTHISEX" Rejoice, you men of Angiers, ring your bells: In quarter, and in terms like bride and groom That you shall say my cunning drift excels. Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws Of the great count himself, she is too mean From his deep chest laughs out a loud applause; To suckle fools and chronicle small beer. He leaves his back unarm'd, the French and Welsh I myself fight not once in forty year. Sir Toby Belch! how now, Sir Toby Belch! Each one demand an answer to his part eXposing it--but, O, the harder heart! MMMMCMXIX - "CESSEATUPTHYCH" Come, guard the door without; let him not pass, Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, So, one by one, we'll weed them all at last, Sweet honey and sweet notes together fail. Each one demand an answer to his part Ah! thus King Henry throws away his crutch Then, Bolingbroke, as low as to thy heart, Unless I flatter with myself too much. Poor wasting monuments of lasting moans. That have outlived the eagle, page thy heels, Have fill'd their pockets full of pebble stones Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels, Caesar must bleed for it! And, gentle friends, His crest that prouder than blue Iris bends. MMMMCMXX - "ARGEISTHISTHYB" As life for honour in fell battle's rage; Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Give me a staff of honour for mine age, Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time Instruction, manners, mysteries, and trades, Such things as might offend the weakest spleen That Photinus an eunuch and your maids Here's all that is left living of your queen, Into the staggers and the careless lapse She is Lavinia, therefore must be loved. To bring him here alone; although perhaps How happily he lives, how well beloved Ye light o' love, with your heels! then, if your Blunt, lead him hence; and see you guard him sure.

This is the day that, in King Edward's time, How much in duty I am bound to both. Exampled by the first pace that is sick Now in his life, against your holy oath? So do you too, where you perceive them thick. Or else let Talbot perish with this shame. Until thy head be circled with the same. MMMMCMXXII - "LLIVETHOUUPONT" Lucius, I'll fit thee; and withal, my boy, Love loving not itself none other can. I'll join mine eldest daughter and my joy Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons: The riches of it: do his bidding; strike He has no children. All my pretty ones? Or, if I live, is it not very like, Upon the next live creature that it sees. Unto the main! O father, Maine is lost; Pluck down my officers, break my decrees; O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, Not prizing her poor infant's discontent; That with the king here resteth in his tent? MMMMCMXXIII - "HYSERVANTSLOSS" Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. So, leave him all. Well, my companion friends, Exception bid him speak, and at this time Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? And, of so great a favour growing proud, No, no, good night: I'll be your fool no more. This king to Tarsus,--think his pilot thought; Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends. Lo, as the bark, that hath discharged her fraught, O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends She whispers in his ears a heavy tale, Sweet honey and sweet notes together fail. MMMMCMXXIV - "ANDLETTHATPINE" A cunning man did calculate my birth Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Long mayst thou live to wail thy children's loss; Each cheek a river running from a fount These eyes, these brows, were moulded out of his: To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. Here is no drink! Hark, Marcus, what she says; And lards the lean earth as he walks along: The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike, Pray God she prove not masculine ere long, I have not sought the day of this dislike. Now, by my George, my garter, and my crown,-- Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. MMMMCMXXV - "TOAGGRAVATETHY" To keep his daughter company; whose loves On your broad main doth wilfully appear. And yet not so; since I am sure my love's Good sir, why do you start; and seem to fear Gives not the hawthorn-bush a sweeter shade Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. And, by my faith, this league that we have made Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. And yet she hears no tidings of her love: That proof is call'd impossibility. Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. To curb the will of the nobility: Heed of Troilus, I can tell them that too. Your mother well hath pray'd, and prove you true. MMMMCMXXVI - "STOREBUYTERMSD" Shall quite strike off all service I have done, Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind. Or count them happy that enjoy the sun? Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Even like a man new haled from the rack, Been sworn my soldier, bidding me depend Unarm'd, and unresolved to beat them back: You have done wrong to this my honest friend, There is my purse to cure that blow of thine. Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Making dead wood more blest than living lips. Some necessaries that I needs must use, Discretion; and the fox carries the goose. MMMMCMXXVII - "IVINEINSELLING" I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink. Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; In whose comparison all whites are ink, Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, I am resolved to bear a greater storm No, my good lord, my friends are in the north. Salutes each other with each other's form; Each cheek a river running from a fount Let the birds fly, and like the famous ape, Lays her full mess before you. Want! why want? In his true, native, and most proper shape, Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Grief would have tears, and sorrow bids me speak. MMMMCMXXVIII - "HOURSOFDROSSWI" He loves your wife; there's the short and the long. O, this will make my mother die with grief! Under yond yew-trees lay thee all along, Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. Show me, my women, like a queen: go fetch Or hateful cuckoos hatch in sparrows' nests? From the dead temples of this bloody wretch Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme, Of the good queen, but the sharp thorny points So to offend him still. This night's the time Strive to speak big and clap their female joints Whose minister you are, whiles here he lived I would the friends we miss were safe arrived. MMMMCMXXIX - "THINBEFEDWITHO" That longing have been sick for, ere I'ld yield He'll tell me all his purpose: sure, he'll come. If you dare fight to-day, come to the field; Now, by the ground that I am banish'd from, Both suffer under this complaint we bring, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Fetch from false Mowbray their first head and spring. Exist, and be a member of his love Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats Why, that is spoken like a toward prince. I do not without danger walk these streets: To follow Caesar in his triumph, since Here have we war for war and blood for blood, Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? MMMMCMXXX - "UTBERICHNOMORE" Unto young Hamlet; for, upon my life, The very beadsmen learn to bend their bows Be stronger with thee than the name of wife? Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, Came from the north and thus it did import: Here, all enraged, such passion her assails, Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, Out of my kingdom: go to, carry this. My son George Stanley is frank'd up in hold: O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Rather, lost more. And by this hand I swear, Else would I very shortly see thee there. MMMMCMXXXI - "SOSHALTTHOUFEE" Sith in his prime Death doth my love destroy, Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Sleep, Richmond, sleep in peace, and wake in joy; Here's a good world! Knew you of this fair work? As if he pluck'd up kisses by the roots Love, lend me patience to forbear awhile. Thinking that I mean him, but therein suits Thanks, you the valiant of this warlike isle, He shall do this, or else I do recant Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome. Under pretence to see the queen his aunt-- For how can tyrants safely govern home, Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMMMCMXXXII - "DONDEATHTHATFE" Dear, trouble not yourself: the morn is cold. Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,-- Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old, Do, chapels had been churches and poor men's Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: And so farewell until I meet thee next. That they supposed I could rend bars of steel, How ill-beseeming is it in thy sex Thou black'st reproach against long-living laud, Her only fault, and that is faults enough, As I will meet thee, if thou stir abroad-- To your proceedings? do not seek to stuff Fie, fie, Gratiano! where are all the rest? Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. MMMMCMXXXIII - "EDSONMENANDDEA" Ere further leisure yield them further means Did young Lorenzo swear he loved her well, Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens? O queen of queens! how far dost thou excel, Nay, all of you that stand and look upon, My spirit can no longer bear these harms. Enough then for your wonder. But, come on, No: know the gallant monarch is in arms And disinherited thine only son. Now, brother Richard, will you stand by us? Devise strange deaths for small offences done? Do, as a monster fly my presence thus. Enough, captain: you have astonished him. And learn to make a body of a limb. MMMMCMXXXIV - "THONCEDEADTHER" The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge He said it would be thus- poor banish'd man! O, that your young nobility could judge Now, Master Slender: love him, daughter Anne. Come hither, William; hold up your head; come. Environ you, till mischief and despair Door would speak with you: he says he comes from Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. As well I tender you and all of yours! Doth cite each moving sense from idle rest. The mere despair of surgery, he cures, He bravely broach'd is boiling bloody breast; Each one demand an answer to his part Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. MMMMCMXXXV - "ESNOMOREDYINGT" Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, She's such a one, that, were I well assured Now, now, you stars that move in your right spheres, Of all the voices that we have procured Might there not be a charity in sin Opinion, that did help me to the crown, Reward to him that brings the traitor in? Enow to press a royal merchant down Doth with a twofold vigour lift me up Your plaintain-leaf is excellent for that. I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Now was she just before him as he sat, Go, Pindarus, get higher on that hill; This sudden execution of my will. MMMMCMXXXVI - "HENMYLOVEISASA" Hot was the day; she hotter that did look Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Nay I'll to him again in name of Brook Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each Yet can I not of such tame patience boast Let him, my son: he shall not need to grieve Of smiling peace to march a bloody host, Verona, for a while I take my leave, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; I may not go without you to the kings. Spits in the face of heaven, is no bar A glooming peace this morning with it brings; Stand like the forfeits in a barber's shop, And climb the highest promontory top. MMMMCMXXXVII - "FEVERLONGINGST" From monster's view, and all things shall be peace. Extinguishing his conduct in this case; Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Either withdraw unto some private place, Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male No bitterness that I will bitter think, God save thy Grace, King Hal; my royal Hal! I would not yield to be your house's guest; Never sound more! when drums and trumpets shall Grandam, this would have been a biting jest. Shall touch the people--which time shall not want, To bring thee to the gallows, not the font. MMMMCMXXXVIII - "ILLFORTHATWHIC" I am disgraced, impeach'd and baffled here, Loaden with irons wiser than the judge, List his discourse of war, and you shall hear Full well I wot the ground of all this grudge: Open the gates; we are King Henry's friends. Rid all the sea of pirates; then, to send Tell her I send to her my kind commends; Haste, signify so much; while we attend, And there repose: a turn or two I'll walk, Taking thy part, hath rush'd aside the law, Where as the king and queen do mean to hawk.

MMMMCMXXXIX - "HLONGERNURSETH" How would thy shadow's form form happy show Leads to the broad gate and the great fire. Out, out! My lords, an please you, 'tis not so; Not till it leave the rider in the mire. God shall forgive you Coeur-de-lion's death Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. Nor never more in Russian habit wait. Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out; She would not lose it: her attendants are Empale him with your weapons round about; The least rub in your fortunes, fall away He draws Mark Antony out of the way. MMMMCMXL - "THEDISEASEFEED" That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. He must observe their mood on whom he jests, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts If I dare eat, or drink, or breathe, or live, Such war of white and red within her cheeks! Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive And what thou think'st his very action speaks Shall then my father's will be of no force Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good: For wise men say it is the wisest course. Else I should tell him,--well, i' faith I should, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Drawn after you, you pattern of all those. MMMMCMXLI - "INGONTHATWHICH" I cry your honour mercy; you may, worst No touch of bashfulness? What, will you tear Gave me my being and my father first, Or in the night, imagining some fear, No, lady, no; my heart longs not to groan, Though calved i' the porch o' the Capitol-- He is already named, and gone to Scone And military title capital That unassailable holds on his rank, Why you proceeded not against these feats How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! I do not without danger walk these streets: Confess'd the vile encounters they have had He talks at random; sure, the man is mad. MMMMCMXLII - "DOTHPRESERVETH" Digest this letter of the cardinal's? Occasion smiles upon a second leave. The heads of all thy brother cardinals, Her eyes myself, could win me to believe, Proving his beauty by succession thine!

It is held Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Richard, enough; I will be king, or die. Virtue he had, deserving to command: Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. To this dead man than you shall see me pay. How is't, my soul? let's talk; it is not day. MMMMCMXLIII - "EILLTHEUNCERTA" Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, It is the show and seal of nature's truth, Let us be beaten, if we cannot fight. Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth, Than you, unless you were a scholar, sir. How! will she none? doth she not give us thanks? Either to die the death or to abjure Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves That you are thieves profess'd, that you work not And worthless Valentine shall be forgot. MMMMCMXLIV - "INSICKLYAPPETI" If low, an agate very vilely cut; Now, infidel, I have you on the hip. Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What! I think he'll hear me. Yet, to bite his lip Christ's mother helps me, else I were too weak. King Henry's peers and chief nobility Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak. Your bounty, virtue, fair humility: And cried 'all hail!' when as he meant all harm. Philip, my liege, so is my name begun, Point against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm. Expecting in return twenty for one? This done, he took the bride about the neck, I shall have share in this most happy wreck. MMMMCMXLV - "TETOPLEASEMYRE" That you divest yourself, and lay apart Even like a man new haled from the rack, That thy unkindness lays upon my heart; O grim-look'd night! O night with hue so black! Pieces of gold 'gainst this which then he wore Look, who comes here! a grave unto a soul; Each changing place with that which goes before, As to be call'd but viceroy of the whole? Since Richard and Northumberland, great friends, Endue you with the people's voice: remains Me see't! I'll in, I'll in. Follow your friend's Yea, on his part I'll empty all these veins, Rest thy unrest on England's lawful earth, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. MMMMCMXLVI - "ASONTHEPHYSICI" Advance your standards, and upon them, lords; So fitly? Go, bid all my friends again, Or to the place of diff'rence call the swords Not to the beast that would usurp their den. Think'st thou that I will leave my kingly throne, Henry Lord Scroop of Masham, and the third, Enough to purchase what you have made known. Peacock's feather. You'll never trust his word Hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench? Your oath I will not trust; but go with speed So, rushing in the bowels of the French, If you be king, why should not I succeed? Can it not do and undo? I will make I'll wear the willow garland for his sake. MMMMCMXLVII - "ANTOMYLOVEANGR" Against the use of nature? Present fears No, though he thought his accusation true. The tide is now: nay, not thy tide of tears; Of you, Lord Rivers, and, Lord Grey, of you; My daughter shall be Henry's, if he please. You take my house when you do take the prop Last, and as much containing as all these, O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, And I will please you what you will demand. Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, Give me assurance with some friendly vow, Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! MMMMCMXLVIII - "YTHATHISPRESCR" You may as well go stand upon the beach To set him free from his captivity. Her sight did ravish; but her grace in speech, After so long grief, such festivity! Thus have you heard me sever'd from my bliss; How came the noble Timon to this change? In ear and ear. O my dear Gertrude, this, She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, Philip of France, if thou be pleased withal, Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, Else shall you not have any hand at all Say I do speak with her, my lord, what then? Claps her pale cheek, till clapping makes it red; Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. MMMMCMXLIX - "IPTIONSARENOTK" Inclinable to honour and advance Preeminence, and all the large effects That I will dazzle all the eyes of France, In this point charge him home, that he affects Or at the least this refuge let me find; Never, O never shall I see more joy! She puts on outward strangeness, seems unkind, And speak between the change of man and boy Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, England, thou hast not saved one drop of blood, Nay, come, agree whose hand shall go along, Or toads infect fair founts with venom mud? The hazard therefore due fall on me by Keep the wild flood confin'd! Let order die! MMMMCML - "EPTHATHLEFTMEA" Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Peace, impudent and shameless Warwick, peace, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, Hang on her temples like a golden fleece; And yonder is the wolf that makes this spoil. This little abstract doth contain that large Her face doth reek and smoke, her blood doth boil, Limit each leader to his several charge, Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time For making him egregiously an ass To use my wings. Impute it not a crime My noble queen, let former grudges pass, Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Above the reach or compass of thy thought? MMMMCMLI - "NDIDESPERATENO" Not having that, which, having, makes them short. Dead, sure; and this his grave. What's on this tomb If Warwick be so near as men report. Displant a town, reverse a prince's doom, Each one demand an answer to his part Some loathsome dash the herald will contrive, Please you, I'll meet with you upon the mart Even for this let us divided live, Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, As if a god, in hate of mankind, had Thou goest to Coventry, there to behold Extremity of griefs would make men mad; Never to wash his face, nor cut his hairs: Of hard misfortune, carved in it with tears. MMMMCMLII - "WAPPROVEDESIRE" When he hath ceased his ill-resounding noise, And my large kingdom for a little grave, Pales in the flood with men, with wives and boys, Pronounce thee a gross lout, a mindless slave, Refuse me, hate me, torture me to death! O mighty Caesar! dost thou lie so low? Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, Expect him here: when he shall come and find Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws Is left to govern. Bear you it in mind, Rome, I have been thy soldier forty years, Environed with all these hideous fears? MMMMCMLIII - "ISDEATHWHICHPH" In Troy, there lies the scene. From isles of Greece She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, Dry up in her the organs of increase; Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: And brought to yoke, the enemies of Rome. To have a godly peace concluded of He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Was deep-sworn faith, peace, amity, true love Here, love, thou seest how diligent I am, I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, Curling their monstrous heads, and hanging them Her only fault, and that is faults enough, Profit again should hardly draw me here. He hath no friends but who are friends for fear. MMMMCMLIV - "YSICDIDEXCEPTP" You use her well: the world may laugh again; Seek out King John and fall before his feet; I'll serve thee true and faithfully till then. Cut me to pieces with thy keen conceit; Disdaining me and throwing favours on I pray you, sir, my ring, or else the chain: Does it not, thinks't thee, stand me now upon- Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, eXceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Caesar, thou canst not die by traitors' hands, Exist, and be a member of his love Prizes not quantity of dirty lands; The shot of accident, nor dart of chance, Pour down thy weather: how goes all in France? MMMMCMLV - "ASTCUREIAMNOWR" Ay, noble uncle, thus ignobly used, Self-love had never drown'd him in the flood. The noble duke hath been too much abused. Consider, lords, he is the next of blood, Unless good counsel may the cause remove. Return'd my letter back. Then all alone Effect it with some care, that he may prove I'll do't before I speak- that you make known Applying fears to hopes and hopes to fears, My tongue could never learn sweet smoothing word; Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, Of that report which I so oft have heard. Which any print of goodness wilt not take, Revenge, which makes the foul offender quake. MMMMCMLVI - "EASONISPASTCAR" Else shall you not have any hand at all And, for I should not deal in her soft laws, Summon their general unto the wall. O thou fond many, with what loud applause Now, good sweet nurse,--O Lord, why look'st thou sad? I'll hear no more: die, prophet in thy speech: Such sweet observance in this work was had, Prescribe to other as each other's leech. A million more, now lost,--she, Eros, has So under his insulting falchion lies Thinking to bar thee of succession, as Commanded by the motion of thine eyes? As if increase of appetite had grown Revenge upon myself with present moan? MMMMCMLVII - "EANDFRANTICMAD" Else had she with her father rang'd along. And I unjustly too, must grant it you Now where is he that will not stay so long Dost grant me, hedgehog? then, God grant me too For putting on so new a fashion'd robe. Reignier, her father, to the king of France And make a sop of all this solid globe: Nor will not. Come, bring me unto my chance. This jarring discord of nobility, If you will bless me, sir, and give me leave, Corrupting in its own fertility. My patience here is touch'd. I do perceive As thou dost swallow up this good king's blood Devoured by the unexpected flood. MMMMCMLVIII - "WITHEVERMOREUN" Which is a great way growing on the south, I think he be transform'd into a beast; To have thee with thy lips to stop my mouth; His regiment lies half a mile at least Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Each one demand an answer to his part Right in thine eye. Away, my friends! New flight; My haste is very great: farewell; hie home. Of thy intents desires instruction, Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Even for revenge mock my destruction! Under these windows, white and azure laced Now do you know the reason of this haste. MMMMCMLIX - "RESTMYTHOUGHTS" Return thee therefore with a flood of tears, Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light: Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? To see his daughter, all his life's delight. My very soul of counsel! stop my mouth. Yet did repent me, after more advice; Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. On this Ascension-day, remember well, Under the canopies of costly state, Go thou, and fill another room in hell. How it did grieve Macbeth! did he not straight Till that his passions, like a whale on ground, Sirrah, do I owe you a thousand pound? MMMMCMLX - "ANDMYDISCOURSE" Are they inform'd of this? My breath and blood! Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Devoured by the unexpected flood. Many a time hath banish'd Norfolk fought You shall hear. As good luck would have it, comes Did gage them both in an unjust behalf, In golden palaces, as it becomes. Shall seize one half his goods; the other half Choler does kill me that thou art alive; Or any creeping venom'd thing that lives! Unless thou swear to me my child shall live. Rather than render back, out with your knives, So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMMCMLXI - "ASMADMENSAREAT" A distaff to a lance, gilded pale looks, Should be full-fraught with serviceable vows. Mark him and write his speeches in their books, All the charactery of my sad brows: Dead though she be, she feels her young one kick: May call it back again. Well, believe this, Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; No, sir; God forbid; but asham'd to kiss. See how the blood is settled in his face. And this is Edward's wife, that monstrous witch, Rich in his father's honour, creeps apace, Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, And, after conflict such as was supposed The king shall do it: must he be deposed? MMMMCMLXII - "RANDOMFROMTHET" Rather than Paris. These are news indeed! And like a lowly lover down she kneels; Natures of such deep trust we shall much need; Death and destruction dog thee at the heels; Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, My love, forbear to fawn upon their frowns: From forth the noise and rumour of the field, Razeth your cities and subverts your towns Or it hath drawn me rather. But 'tis gone. My honourable lords, health to you all! That seest a game play'd home, the rich stake drawn, His little speaking shows his love but small. Err'd in this point which now you censure him, That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. MMMMCMLXIII - "RUTHVAINLYEXPR" Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents. Under this conjuration, speak, my lord; The provost, he shall bear them, whose contents Hath in her more destruction than thy sword, Values itself so highly that to her And now like Nilus, it disdaineth bounds. I never saw so huge a billow, sir, Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds: Lives almost by his looks; and for myself,- Your queen and I are devils: yet go on; Engaging and redeeming of himself eXcels whatever yet you look'd upon Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind, Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. MMMMCMLXIV - "ESSDFORIHAVESW" Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: She did corrupt frail nature with some bribe, She is so hot because the meat is cold; Did ere solicit, or my hand subscribe For here I read for certain that my ships Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. Rich preys make true men thieves; so do thy lips I once did lend my body for his wealth; Had witchcraft in't. He grew unto his seat, As surely as my soul intends to live Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Soft you; a word or two before you go. We would as willingly give cure as know. MMMMCMLXV - "ORNTHEEFAIRAND" One step I have advanc'd thee. If thou dost Relate your wrongs; in what? by whom? be brief. Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; Thy honey turns to gall, thy joy to grief! Hark, villains! I will grind your bones to dust Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, For, I presume, brave Hector would not lose Alas the day! I never gave him cause. Is he come back? Love, I am full of lead. Ravish'd and wrong'd, as Philomela was, Ay, madam, with the swiftest wing of speed. Not I, believe me; thus I'll visit her. Dat is as it sall please de roi mon pere. MMMMCMLXVI - "THOUGHTTHEEBRI" Thou wilt but add increase unto my wrath. How often hast thou waited at my cup, O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath! Unfold the evil which is here wrapt up Good countrymen, let me depart alone, Her only fault, and that is faults enough, That hast no less deserved, nor must be known That look'd upon't. Here comes the good Macduff. How far is it to Berkeley? and what stir Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Either to die the death or to abjure Because that John hath made his peace with Rome? Revenge on him that made me stop my breath. I gave thee life and rescued thee from death. MMMMCMLXVII - "GHTWHOARTASBLA" Give me a staff of honour for mine age, How now, fair lords! What fare? what news abroad? That ever wall-eyed wrath or staring rage Whose fortunes Rome's best citizens applaud! His looks I fear, and his intents I doubt. Of six preceding ancestors, that gem, And more, much more. The time will bring it out. Reprove the brown for rashness, and they them Thy nerves are in their infancy again As signal that thou hear'st something approach. So in the world; 'tis furnish'd well with men, But if black scandal or foul-faced reproach Let Paris bleed; 'tis but a scar to scorn; Art then forsaken, as thou went'st forlorn! MMMMCMLXVIII - "CKASHELLASDARK" Can trip me, if I err; who with wet cheeks Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure And I do stand engaged to many Greeks, Show you, which shall be yours in private. Your He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Even or odd, of all days in the year, Lives not this day within the city walls: Lie hid moe thousand deaths: yet death we fear, And all they foul that thy complexion lack. So to enforce or qualify the laws Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- And swelling passion doth provoke a pause; Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. Know I these men that come along with you? MMMMCMLXIX - "ASNIGHTOMEWHAT" Afflict him in his bed with bedrid groans; Shall never see so much, nor live so long. Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, It cannot be that she hath done thee wrong. God's mercy, maiden! does it curd thy blood How I have ever loved the life removed The nine men's morris is fill'd up with mud, O, 'tis the curse in love, and still approved, My fortunes to your service, which are here Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Which now mistrust no parcel of my fear, However, but a folly bought with wit, A Roman and a British ensign wave Too deep and dead, poor infants, in their grave. MMMMCMLXX - "EYESHATHLOVEPU" Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring You bade me ban, and will you bid me leave? Edward will always bear himself as king: Stay, my lord legate: you shall first receive He cannot be compell'd to't--once remove As you do love, fill to your mistress' lips,-- The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, Lives in his eye; that close aspect of his Of the old rage: bear with me, I am sick; Vows are but breath, and breath a vapour is: Ere he arrive his weary noon-tide prick; Perchance, Iago, I will ne'er go home. Unless he do submit himself to Rome. MMMMCMLXXI - "TINMYHEADWHICH" Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. I prithee, beat thy drum, and get thee gone. No; let him die, in that he is a fox, My life I never held but as a pawn Yea, strike the Dauphin blind to look on us. How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less And often at his very loose decides Disgracing of these colours that I wear Why, foolish boy, the king is left behind, Here overcome, as one full of despair, I do I know not what, and fear to find Commend me to my kind lord: O, farewell! His leg is but so-so; and yet 'tis well. MMMMCMLXXII - "HAVENOCORRESPO" Had twenty years been made. This is a stem Am I both priest and clerk? well then, amen. Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Establish him in his true sense again, Nay, but ask my opinion too of that. O, God defend me! how am I beset! Could all but answer for that peevish brat? Or, if not so, until the sun be set. Rare words! brave world! Hostess, my breakfast, come! Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Sirrah, call in my sons to be my bail; Pardon, my liege, that I have stay'd so long. Or is he but retired to make him strong? MMMMCMLXXIII - "NDENCEWITHTRUE" Not of this country, though my chance is now Devils' additions, the names of fiends: but Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Nothing, my lord: or if--I know not what. Come, then; for with a wound I must be cured. End in one purpose, and be all well borne Which I shall send you written, be assured, I say the earth did shake when I was born. The Prince of Wales from such a field as this, Have some unhappy passenger in chase. Thus have you heard me sever'd from my bliss; Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: Upon that day either prepare to die Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MMMMCMLXXIV - "SIGHTORIFTHEYH" Shalt have thy trespass cited up in rhymes, If frosts and fasts, hard lodging and thin weeds Glory grows guilty of detested crimes, How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds That, like the sun, did make beholders wink? Of forfeiture, of justice and his bond. Resides not in that man that does not think,-- I laugh to see your ladyship so fond From him that fled some strange indignity, To this well-painted piece is Lucrece come, His hand, as proud of such a dignity, Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Yet, in good faith, some say that thee behold Hold, Toby; on thy life I charge thee, hold! MMMMCMLXXV - "AVEWHEREISMYJU" A brittle glory shineth in this face: Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; Either withdraw unto some private place, With swelling ridges; and their ranks began He means, my lord, that we are too remiss; Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end? Rich only in large hurts. All those for this? Each hath his place and function to attend: I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Shall I be flouted thus by dunghill grooms? Methinks it should be now a huge eclipse Your enemies, with nodding of their plumes, Jove shield your husband from his hounds to-day! Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay! MMMMCMLXXVI - "DGMENTFLEDTHAT" Did utter forth a voice. Yes, thou must die: Grace, I hope: that were a trick indeed! but My life upon't, young though thou art, thine eye Extracting it clutch'd? What reply, ha? What Now I begin to relish thy advice; The new-heal'd wound of malice should break out, For whom he now is banish'd, her own price Look on her, mark her well; be but about Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Depress'd he is already, and deposed The gentle Thetis, and anon behold How covert matters may be best disclosed, And her prosperities so largely taste, Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste? MMMMCMLXXVII - "CENSURESFALSEL" Come, gaoler, bring me where the goldsmith is: Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says Step forth mine advocate; at your request Unto a greater uproar tempts his veins: Rough cradle for such little pretty ones! Endue you with the people's voice: remains Shalt carry from me to the empress' sons For God doth know how many now in health And now, dear maid, be you as free to us. Let's to the Capitol. Would half my wealth Shall I be tempted of the devil thus? Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes: Lady, with me, with me thy fortune lies. MMMMCMLXXVIII - "YWHATTHEYSEEAR" You see how simple and how fond I am. Whose tongue more poisons than the adder's tooth! Hence with it, and together with the dam And would not, but in fury, fright my youth: The worthiness of praise distains his worth, That hath beside well in his person wrought He finds the joys of heaven here on earth; Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought You envy my advancement and my friends': So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; And both return back to their chairs again: Receive each other. God speak this Amen! MMMMCMLXXIX - "IGHTIFTHATBEFA" Implore her, in my voice, that she make friends Give with thy trumpet a loud note to Troy, Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's Their own enactures with themselves destroy. I and ten thousand in this luckless realm For, were there hope to conquer them again, That sleeve is mine that he'll bear on his helm; He fell upon me ere admitted: then And you are darken'd in this action, sir, To part the queen's proud kindred from the king. Behind the arras hearing something stir, Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring For God doth know, so shall the world perceive, As from my death-bed, thy last living leave. MMMMCMLXXX - "IRWHEREONMYFAL" In troops I have dispersed them 'bout the isle. Rather than have that savage duke thine heir Will stupefy and dull the sense awhile; Hath fear'd the valiant: by my love I swear Enough to purchase what you have made known. Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Each man apart, all single and alone, O, burn her, burn her! hanging is too good. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am My speech and what is done, tell him he has Your eyes, which hitherto have borne in them For we intend so to dispose you as Are well foretold that danger lurks within. Long may he live in fortunes! Shall we in? MMMMCMLXXXI - "SEEYESDOTEWHAT" So shall we stay, mocking intended game, Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Envy your great deservings and good name, Your soldiers use him as the grace 'fore meat, Except it be to pray against thy foes. Some one be ready with a costly suit, Deny your asking: take your choice of those Or have we eaten on the insane root To part so slightly with your wife's first gift: Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? With amplest entertainment: my free drift Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from And who can sever love from charity? To give their bed joy and prosperity. MMMMCMLXXXII - "MEANSTHEWORLDT" Mad ire and wrathful fury makes me weep, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: And now their pride and mettle is asleep, Now, pray, my lord, let's see the devil's writ. She's Love, she loves, and yet she is not loved. That brought her for this high good turn so far? How happily he lives, how well beloved Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Which makes thee thus presumptuous and proud, Of knaves once more; my cook and I'll provide. Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, Let two more summers wither in their pride, Doth shine upon the dead man's earthy cheeks, The vent of hearing when loud Rumour speaks? MMMMCMLXXXIII - "OSAYITISNOTSOI" On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, Sick now! droop now! this sickness doth infect An onion will do well for such a shift, Yet indirection thereby grows direct, I have had feeling of my cousin's wrongs Though thou repent, yet I have still the loss: If with too credent ear you list his songs, Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross No doubt they rose up early to observe Or hew my way out with a bloody axe. Then, York, be still awhile, till time do serve: Send her a story of thy noble acts; Or whether gasted by the noise I made, I do betray myself with blushing. Maid! MMMMCMLXXXIV - "FITBENOTTHENLO" For being a bawd, for being a bawd. If you'll avouch 'twas wisdom Paris went-- To see the wonders of the world abroad, By him for whom these shames ye underwent? Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work. No, not to stay the finding of the axe, Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk To flaming youth let virtue be as wax They come like sacrifices in their trim, How were they lost? what treachery was used? Enough, captain: you have astonished him. Nothing more dear to me. You are abused Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Of which, my lord, your honour is the last. MMMMCMLXXXV - "VEDOTHWELLDENO" Vow, Burgundy, by honour of thy house, Either of king or council, when you went Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: Of his bright passage to the occident. The king in this perceives him, how he coasts Have they been merry! which their keepers call Which he enforced from me, away he posts Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Look after him and cannot do him good, Losing his verdure even in the prime Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, England ne'er had a king until his time. Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords Once more to-day well met, distemper'd lords! MMMMCMLXXXVI - "TELOVESEYEISNO" Then Troilus should have too much: if she praised Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Look, how the world's poor people are amazed Of noble blood in this declining land. Villain, thou know'st no law of God nor man: Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. Speak, nephew, were you by when it began? Each way and move. I take my leave of you: Your provost knows the place where he abides Ely with Richmond troubles me more near It is the pasture lards the rother's sides, She will not stick to round me i' the ear, No, no; by God's good grace his son shall reign. O, thou wilt be a wilderness again. MMMMCMLXXXVII - "TSOTRUEASALLME" The noisome weeds, which without profit suck So please you, let me now be left alone, Of as great size. Ween you of better luck, There is a vent of blood and something blown: Returns the good Andronicus to Rome, Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead. Employ'd you where high profits might come home, As far as doth the Capitol exceed Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp As I by thine a wife: this is a match, Let him depart before we need his help. Let us be jocund: will you troll the catch Make thy sad grove in my dishevell'd hair: Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. MMMMCMLXXXVIII - "NSNOHOWCANITOH" Neglected all, with swift intent he goes So offers he to give what she did crave; Nor never seek prevention of thy foes. Or, when he doom'd this beauty to a grave, High-stomach'd are they both, and full of ire, O thou dissembling cub! what wilt thou be What hath quench'd them hath given me fire. Call thyself sister, sweet, for I am thee. Abuses me to damn me. I'll have grounds No, none that thou hast wit enough to make. If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, That thou shalt know. Trojan, he is awake, Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid? Here is your hand and seal for what I did. MMMMCMLXXXIX - "OWCANLOVESEYEB" One Julia, that his changing thoughts forget, What incidency thou dost guess of harm Commends me to the thing I cannot get. And 'twixt them rushes; underneath whose arm Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Lay with you in your coffer: which are now On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Ere I will see the crown so foul misplaced. Should many people, under two commands, Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste Your legs did better service than your hands. Either to die the death or to abjure But thus, I trust, you will not marry her. MMMMCMXC - "ETRUETHATISSOV" Edward the Third, he bids you then resign These eyes, that now are dimm'd with death's black veil, Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Under that colour am I come to scale Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet The one and other Diomed embraces. Have shaken Edward from the regal seat, And little stars shot from their fixed places, Than is her custom: it is still her use If there be such a dart in princes' frowns, Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse: Speak softly, or the loss of those great towns Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? MMMMCMXCI - "EXDWITHWATCHIN" Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which, eXtinguishing his conduct in this case; Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch: Would I might never stir from off this place, I would have left it on the board so soon Those that much covet are with gain so fond, He was but as the cuckoo is in June, Which here appeareth due upon the bond. And ill-beseeming semblance for a feast. The fishes spread on it their golden gills; Come, leave your tears: a brief farewell: the beast How mean soe'er, that have their honest wills, If I have thanks, it is a dear expense: Nor send him forth that we may bear him hence. MMMMCMXCII - "GANDWITHTEARSN" Golden Apollo, a poor humble swain, All Greek, and this all Troy; my mother's blood Nay, be not angry; I am pleased again. Deep woes roll forward like a gentle flood, Well; keep good quarter and good care to-night: In confutation of which rude reproach That over-goes my blunt invention quite, He saves my labour by his own approach. Their eyes do offices of truth, their words England all Olivers and Rowlands bred, And placed a quire of such enticing birds, Richard not far from hence hath hid his head. Shall we hear from thee, Tyrrel, ere we sleep? Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep. MMMMCMXCIII - "OMARVELTHENTHO" O, very well; I have perus'd the note. My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, And be an eye-sore in my golden coat; Run back and bite, because he was withheld; Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard Lady, were you her bedfellow last night? That I do fawn on men and hug them hard Have to you, but with thanks to God for such Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Not all these lords do vex me half so much To do him wrong or any way impeach How fares my brother? why is he so sad? O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! MMMMCMXCIV - "UGHIMISTAKEMYV" Undoing all, as all had never been! Give me a staff of honour for mine age, Husband, I cannot pray that thou mayst win; It was a worthy building. How! a page! My speech and what is done, tell him he has Into the madness wherein now he raves, Start not; her actions shall be holy as The fear of God, and not with drunken knaves. And do not shear the fleeces that I graze. Kent, in the Commentaries Caesar writ, Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Marry, thus: when it stands well with him, it Yes, madam: yet I cannot choose but laugh, Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? MMMMCMXCV - "IEWTHESUNITSEL" It may be so; but yet my inward soul Either withdraw unto some private place, When yond same star that's westward from the pole That bloodily did spawn upon his face; He doth me wrong to feed me with delays. English John Talbot, captains, calls you forth, Shall in procession sing her endless praise. Under the lordly monarch of the north, Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord. Is but a quintain, a mere lifeless block. To stain the temper of my knightly sword. Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Lead on to some foul issue: we all kneel. MMMMCMXCVI - "FSEESNOTTILLHE" For yet may England curse my wretched reign. So was I bid report here to the state Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Eternal numbers to outlive long date. So his unhallow'd haste her words delays, Not painted with the crimson spots of blood. Or one encompass'd with a winding maze, The nine men's morris is fill'd up with mud, These famish'd beggars, weary of their lives; I bring thee tidings of the prince's doom. Large sums of gold and dowries with their wives: Lionel Duke of Clarence: next to whom Here is your servant. How now, sir! What news? Ere she with blood had stain'd her stain'd excuse.

England we love; and for that England's sake And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss. Return, return, and make thy love amends.

MMMMCMXCVIII - "NINGLOVEWITHTE" Never bestrid a horse, save one that had I know him well. He is the broach indeed Now, out of doubt Antipholus is mad, Give me some help here, ho! If thou proceed Let him not know't, and he's not robb'd at all. Or she that bore you was no queen, and you Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Engenders the black toad and adder blue, What says that fool of Hagar's offspring, ha? If thou more murmur'st, I will rend an oak Than wife is to the husband? If this law Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke The enemy more mighty than he seems: Extremity still urgeth such extremes. MMMMCMXCIX - "ARSTHOUKEEPSTM" A glooming peace this morning with it brings; Rather than have that savage duke thine heir She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings, They shall not live within this world, I swear, Had I thy youth and cause, I would not stay. Or else for ever be confixed here, Unable to support this lump of clay, Kind uncle York, the latest news we hear Either to die the death or to abjure Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Pray thee, peace. Pay her the debt you owe her, Such are the poor, in health--or else a feast, That no man enter till my tale be done. Men shut their doors against a setting sun. MMMMM - "EBLINDLESTEYES" Except some petty towns of no import: By the o'ergrowth of some complexion, Lucius and I'll go brave it at the court: It shows my earnestness of affection- Not to pick bad from bad, but by bad mend! Didst thou not say, when I did push thee back-- Look into these affairs see this main end, Even like a man new haled from the rack, See, where he comes: so please you, step aside; Time is the nurse and breeder of all good.

Behold this man; That she preparedly may frame herself His son am I; deny it, if you can. Yet hope, succeeding from so fair a tree Faint-hearted Woodvile, prizest him 'fore me? MMMMMII - "OULFAULTSSHOUL" O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! Uncle, my brother mocks both you and me; Like Amazons come tripping after drums, From whom we do exist and cease to be; And interchangeably set down their hands, Unto the shore, to ask those on the banks Lo, by thy side where Rape and Murder stands; The captainship, thou shalt be met with thanks, Some two months hence my will shall here be made: She's a good creature, and, sweet lady, does His wonted sleep under a fresh tree's shade, O, sir, I find her milder than she was; Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; Last in the field, and almost lords of it! MMMMMIII - "DFINDCANSTTHOU" Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, For more than blushing comes to: if your back I should rejoice now at this happy news; No face is fair that is not full so black. Demanding of King Henry's life and death, Clapp'd to their gates: he is himself alone, And I have seen thee pause and take thy breath, No matter, sir, what I have heard or known. Shalt have thy trespass cited up in rhymes, To him that flourish'd for her with his sword These accusations and these grievous crimes How did this offer seem received, my lord? O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill! Under what colour he commits this ill. MMMMMIV - "OCRUELSAYILOVE" O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Chaste and immaculate in very thought; Rather than render back, out with your knives, Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought Even for this let us divided live, Lay sleeping on his back. About his neck Save that, for reverence to some alive, And we, poor mates, stand on the dying deck, You, that are king, though he do wear the crown, It he is to sojourn with you? How creeps Leave wringing of your hands. Peace! sit you down O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps; Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. MMMMMV - "THEENOTWHENIAG" This done, he took the bride about the neck, Here are your sons again; and I must lose Each in his office ready at thy beck. Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news.

MMMMMVI - "AINSTMYSELFWIT" Are you a man? have you a soul or sense? I did, my lord, but loath am to produce Nor send him forth that we may bear him hence. Shall be the war that Henry means to use. Thou tell'st me there is murder in mine eye. My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets! Your highness came to England, so will I Should have shook lions into civil streets, Exposing what is mortal and unsure Like to the earth swallow her own increase. For to strange sores strangely they strain the cure. Why so large cost, having so short a lease, I cannot joy, until I be resolved To make confession and to be absolved. MMMMMVII - "HTHEEPARTAKEDO" His eye is hollow, and he changes much. Tell him, it is for justice and for aid, Honour and virtue and conversed with such Ere it was ask'd; but when the way was made, Else ne'er could he so long protract his speech. Protest my ears were never better fed And if I were thy nurse, thy tongue to teach, Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, That light we see is burning in my hall. As if by some instinct the wretch did know King John, this is the very sum of all; Ere once she can discharge one word of woe: Divides more wider than the sky and earth, O ceremony, show me but thy worth! MMMMMVIII - "INOTTHINKONTHE" Is held from falling with so weak a wind No, not till Thursday; there is time enough. O sweet-suggesting Love, if thou hast sinned, That look'd upon't.

Needs not the painted flourish of your praise: Knocks at my heat and whispers in mine ear Or shall we think the subtle-witted French Nay, never bear me hence, dispatch me here, This is the way to kindle, not to quench.

You twain, of all the rest, God knows thou art a collop of my flesh; O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, There's five to one; besides, they all are fresh. And strangers ne'er beheld but wondered at; Madam, in happy time, what day is that? MMMMMX - "OFMYSELFALLTYR" Of all the world I loved and to him put Forgive him, Angelo, that brought you home More than thy fame and envy. Fix thy foot.

For that same word 'rebellion' did divide And be perform'd to-night: the solemn feast Lest, in her greatness, by some mortal stroke Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east! They are not yet come back. But I have spoke Yet, know thou, since we have begun to strike, Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like.

Think'st thou to catch my life so pleasantly For all my reign hath been but as a scene O, he is old and blushes not at death. Rome could afford no tribune like to these.

What wouldst thou with us? MMMMMXII - "HOHATETHTHEETH" Hearing of your arrival in this realm, O foul dishonour to my household's grave! He dreamt to-night the boar had razed his helm: And gives them what he will, not what they crave. That you and I should meet upon such terms England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Thy broken faith hath made a prey for worms. How shall that faith return again to earth, Thou shouldst be colour'd thus. You married ones, He would not stay at your petitions: made Ere I arise, I will prefer my sons; Each present lord began to promise aid, Thy son is banish'd upon good advice, He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.

Remove you hence. I knew you at the first Is Clarence dead? the order was reversed. MMMMMXIV - "ENDONWHOMFROWN" Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Do not yourself such wrong, who are in this On payment of a hundred thousand crowns, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, What would my potent master? here I am. Her dowry shall weigh equal with a queen: O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb Master's whistle. Blow, till thou burst thy wind, From whence with life he never more sprung up. Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. O, let those cities that of plenty's cup When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum, Now, neighbour confines, purge you of your scum. MMMMMXV - "STTHOUTHATIDOF" Shall send between the red rose and the white The more thou damm'st it up, the more it burns. To understand my purposes aright.

Thou hast forspoke my being in these wars, I am his first-born son, that was the last Discredit my authority with yours; O, pity, God, this miserable age! French thrift, you rogues; myself and skirted page. MMMMMXVI - "AWNUPONNAYIFTH" As I foretold you, were all spirits and Was this fair paper, this most goodly book, Nay, in the body of this fleshly land, Under an osier growing by a brook, Perceive I speak sincerely, and high note's Or else his head's assurance is but frail. Not for Cadwallader and all his goats. No vast obscurity or misty vale, And with dead cheeks advise thee to desist Your praises are too large: but that your youth, It shall be moon, or star, or what I list, For Doll is in. Pistol speaks nought but truth. To make confession and to be absolved. How he received you, let me be resolved. MMMMMXVII - "OULOURSTONMEDO" O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: O, I could wish this tavern were my drum! Unless they seek for hatred at my hands; Rotten opinion, who hath writ me down Should many people, under two commands, The very train of her worst wearing gown On safe-guard he came to me; and did curse Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, My sister may receive it much more worse, Each present lord began to promise aid, Dear, trouble not yourself: the morn is cold. Of physiognomy might one behold! MMMMMXVIII - "INOTSPENDREVEN" In Rome, as well as I. mechanic slaves Nay, when? strike now, or else the iron cools.

Sir, I thank you; by yea and no, I do. Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Let it appear so; make your vaunting true, France is a bawd to Fortune and King John, What see you in those papers that you lose In thine own person answer thy abuse. MMMMMXX - "THPRESENTMOANW" Thou shouldst be colour'd thus. You married ones, Haply a woman's voice may do some good, Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons, Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood Either of you to be the other's end. Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Each hath his place and function to attend: No, good my lord; let's fight with gentle words This news, I think, hath turn'd your weapon's edge; Make an extent upon his house and lands. O, all you gods! O pretty, pretty pledge! And all the number of his fair demands Nor need'st thou much importune me to that Wherein my grandsire and my father sat? MMMMMXXI - "HATMERITDOIINM" He couples it to his complaining names.

MMMMMXXII - "YSELFRESPECTTH" Your daughter and her cousin much commend See you, my princes, and my noble peers, Either of you to be the other's end.

Exton, I thank thee not; for thou hast wrought Sayest thou so, old Jack? go thy ways; I'll make Peace and prosperity! Who is't that calls Except some petty towns of no import: Crave harbourage within your city walls. Thou wrong'st it, more than tears, with that report. Their manners are more gentle-kind than of Here, my lord, a trifle of our love. MMMMMXXIII - "ATISSOPROUDTHY" As my ripe revenue and due by birth To Italy; and there at Venice gave In argument of praise, or to the worth So offers he to give what she did crave; See what I do deliver out to each, Or how haps it I seek not to advance Prescribe to other as each other's leech. Reignier, her father, to the king of France Of knaves once more; my cook and I'll provide. Under his chance: if we draw lots, he speeds; Doth valour's show and valour's worth divide The needful bits and curbs to headstrong weeds, Honour, who hath made this match, and his friend's You are my guests. Do me no foul play, friends. MMMMMXXIV - "SERVICETODESPI" Slack the bolins there! Thou wilt not, wilt thou? Else you may be marvellously mistook. Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now!

Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, The viol once more: how thou stirr'st, thou block! Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Did not attend him as we rode?

MMMMMXXV - "SEWHENALLMYBES" Shall mark my grave. Commend me to his grace; Each opposite that blanks the face of joy We'll set thy statue in some holy place, Haply your eye shall light upon some toy Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Now comes the wanton blood up in your cheeks, Agree these deeds with that proud brag of thine, Let your best love draw to that point, which seeks Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, Make peace with God, for you must die, my lord.

Methinks they should invite them without knives; Oh, he is young and his minority The presence of a king engenders love In any breast of strong authority, On any ground that I am ruler of, No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. O, yet, for God's sake, go not to these wars! MMMMMXXIX - "FTHINEEYESBUTL" For it is known we were but hollow friends: To greet him and to give him comforts. Sir, Harbour more craft and more corrupter ends I see you do not mean to part with her; Now is my day's work done; I'll take good breath: Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Expect your highness' doom of life or death. Your grief, the common grief of all the land. Effect it with some care, that he may prove Say, didst thou speak with him? know'st thou his mind?

MMMMMXXX - "OVEHATEONFORNO" Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his Verona shall not hold thee. Here she stands; Ere such another Julius. Britain is His secret murders sticking on his hands; And teaches me to kill or hang myself: That, in the course of justice, none of us Else would he never so demean himself. Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. No, I defy all counsel, all redress, From whence you have them. You are jealous now One part of Aquitaine is bound to us, Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, No more than I am well acquitted of. O, they love least that let men know their love. MMMMMXXXI - "WIKNOWTHYMINDT" With edge of penny cord and vile reproach: I do believe you think what now you speak; King John, your king and England's doth approach, Nay, rather turn this day out of the week, One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods Which fear if better reasons can supplant, That ever Timon was. Shame not these woods, He shall do this, or else I do recant Your bugle eyeballs, nor your cheek of cream, My day's delight is past, my horse is gone, I'll be as patient as a gentle stream Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends, Tell me whereon the likelihood depends. MMMMMXXXII - "HOSETHATCANSEE" How now! what means death in this rude assault? Of mediation, after I am dead, Should lose his birthright by his father's fault, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, Here! go; the desk, the purse! sweet, now, make haste. Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth That never meat sweet-savor'd in thy taste, Command the health of it? No, thou proud dream, All that good time will give us: this attempt Name her not now, sir; she's a deadly theme. Scorn and defiance; slight regard, contempt, Each way and move. I take my leave of you: Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo. MMMMMXXXIII - "THOULOVESTANDI" That in the ocean seeks another drop, Here is her picture: let me see; I think, Open your ears; for which of you will stop Under love's heavy burden do I sink. Leaving free things and happy shows behind; Of Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, nor of Kent, Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Either of king or council, when you went So stale and cheap to vulgar company, These offices, so oft as thou wilt look, And shall, or him we will accompany. Now, sir, who's a cuckold now? Master Brook, Doth live again in thee: long mayst thou live I am the most offending soul alive. MMMMMXXXIV - "AMBLINDOFROMWH" Another king! they grow like Hydra's heads: Moreover, if you please, a niece of mine By bloody hands, in sleeping on your beds! Let Henry fret and all the world repine. In that high task hath done her beauty wrong, Nothing can come of nothing. Speak again. Did steal behind him as he lay along O noble English. that could entertain From forth this morsel of dead royalty, Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. O, where is faith? O, where is loyalty? Mordake the Earl of Fife, and eldest son Whiles yet the cool and temperate wind of grace Have some unhappy passenger in chase. MMMMMXXXV - "ATPOWERHASTTHO" A native slip to us from foreign seeds: Thou art arm'd, Gloucester. Let the trumpet sound. Prince Bassianus, leave to plead my deeds: Of this escape and whither they are bound; Who finds the partridge in the puttock's nest, Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, How now! why look'st thou pale? why tremblest thou? A Roman now adopted happily, So old and white as this! O! O! 'tis foul! Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily. To be a comrade with the wolf and owl- Here cometh Charles: I marvel how he sped. Of honour'd bones indeed. What should be said? MMMMMXXXVI - "UTHISPOWERFULM" Upon the grassy carpet of this plain. Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, He! no, she'll none of him; they two are twain. I say no more than truth, so help me God! Slain by his servant, going to put out Provide the feast, father, and bid the guests; Or as a little snow, tumbled about, Within your hollow-swelling feather'd breasts, Even like a man new haled from the rack, Resides not in that man that does not think,-- For you, the city, thus I turn my back: Upon a homely object Love can wink. Let not the royal bed of Denmark be Marvel how the fishes live in the sea. MMMMMXXXVII - "IGHTWITHINSUFF" I know her spirits are as coy and wild God save the king! although I be not he; Hath blister'd her report: she is with child; Thou pitied'st Rutland; I will pity thee. Whom thus we stray to find, and the sea mocks In his true, native, and most proper shape, Take all, and wean it; it may prove an ox. His glassy essence, like an angry ape, I would outstare the sternest eyes that look, Now, gods that we adore, whereof comes this? Show me your image in some antique book, Upon thy cheek lay I this zealous kiss, From slaves that apes would beat! Pluto and hell! Fly, brother.- Torches, torches!- So farewell. MMMMMXXXVIII - "ICIENCYMYHEART" I will embrace him with a soldier's arm, Could witness it, for he was with me then; I dare presume, sweet prince, he thought no harm. Establish him in his true sense again, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, Could not take truce with the unruly spleen You envy my advancement and my friends': My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen. You snatch some hence for little faults; that's love, How he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. And often at his very loose decides Rome shall record, and when I do forget Too little payment for so great a debt. MMMMMXXXIX - "TOSWAYTOMAKEME" To worry lambs and lap their gentle blood, Of those that lawless and incertain thought So, by a roaring tempest on the flood, Who like a good and hardy soldier fought And drive away the vulgar from the streets: You must no more call it York-place, that's past; The purity and whiteness of my sheets, Of which, my lord, your honour is the last. Must I behold my pretty Arthur more. And, like a sister, am most loath to call Knowing that thou wouldst have me drown'd on shore, Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, Madam, I am protector of the realm; Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. MMMMMXL - "GIVETHELIETOMY" Good traders in the flesh, set this in your If ever you have look'd on better days, Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, That she with painted images hath spent; Hug their diseased perfumes, and have forgot Either of king or council, when you went Let it suffice thee that I trust thee not. I would outstare the sternest eyes that look, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek The better act of purposes mistook Of that I shall have also cause to speak, Madam, it is, so you stand pleased withal. Yet my good will is great, though the gift small. MMMMMXLI - "TRUESIGHTANDSW" That my woe-wearied tongue is mute and dumb, Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains Unfurnish me of reason. They are come. Endue you with the people's voice: remains So far be mine, my most redoubted lord, I did present him with the Paris balls. Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard. He murder cries and help from Athens calls. Then march to Paris, royal Charles of France, And now declare, sweet stem from York's great stock, Nay, then 'tis time to stir him from his trance. Dash'd all to pieces. O, the cry did knock Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, When I am sure you hate me with your hearts. MMMMMXLII - "EARTHATBRIGHTN" Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Art thou not ashamed? But, sirrah, henceforth Revel the night, rob, murder, and commit The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth Hath brought me to thy hearth; not out of hope-- And therefore do they cry, though you forbid, Though palaces and pyramids do slope But prosper better than the Trojan did. Romeo, that she were, O, that she were I stand dishonour'd, that have gone about Go ply thy needle; meddle not with her. Here stood he in the dark, his sharp sword out, Thy tears are salter than a younger man's, Nay, rather persuade him to hold his hands. MMMMMXLIII - "ESSDOTHNOTGRAC" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Sweats in the eye of Phoebus and all night Swear not by time to come; for that thou hast Did I put Henry from his native right? O, I am out of breath in this fond chase! Thrown into the Thames, and cooled, glowing hot, Have I thought long to see this morning's face, Nature hath charged me that I hoard them not, O, then, what graces in my love do dwell, To stay for me at church 'twixt twelve and one, Go thou, and fill another room in hell. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. As I, not for myself, but for thee will; Cannot be cured by words; therefore be still. MMMMMXLIV - "ETHEDAYWHENCEH" Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. To your proceedings; yet believe me, prince, Here are your sons again; and I must lose Edward, her lord, whom I, some three months since, Did utter forth a voice. Yes, thou must die: And with them scourge the bad revolting stars Yea, man and birds are fain of climbing high. Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars, He hath a person and a smooth dispose Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Neglected all, with swift intent he goes Cut me to pieces with thy keen conceit; Each changing place with that which goes before, Hale him away, and let him talk no more. MMMMMXLV - "ASTTHOUTHISBEC" As well descended as thyself; and hath Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough The cannons have their bowels full of wrath, That can from Hector bring his honour off, Hark, Greek: as much as I do Cressid love, O noble prince, I can discover all Upon his party for the gain thereof: That I, one Snout by name, present a wall; He never was so womanish; the cause It would become me better than to close Such as she says my lord did say I was. But in his clothes; and one that hath spoke most Each changing place with that which goes before, Come, citizens: 'zounds! I'll entreat no more. MMMMMXLVI - "OMINGOFTHINGSI" O, teach me how you look, and with what art Madam, it will not lie where it concerns I hold it fit that we shake hands and part; Northumberland, say thus the king returns: Guilty thou art of murder and of theft, O, why should nature build so foul a den, From me by strong assault it is bereft. To find persistive constancy in men: Hark, hark! one knocks: Portia, go in awhile; Is crown'd so soon, and broke his solemn oath? Now, if you have a station in the file, Giving more light than heat, extinct in both Such as she says my lord did say I was. I pardon that man's life. What was thy cause?

MMMMMXLVIII - "YREFUSEOFTHYDE" You laugh when boys or women tell their dreams; Reason, you rogue, reason: thinkest thou I'll Extremity still urgeth such extremes. For such a one we show'd 'em: if they smile, Under the shade of melancholy boughs, So I were out of prison and kept sheep, Even here between the chaste unsmirched brows Oh, who shall hinder me to wail and weep, For being a bawd, for being a bawd. To spite me now, each minute seems a moon; How now, fair lords! What fare? what news abroad? You'll leave his lecture when I am in tune? Douglas is living, and your brother, yet; Edward for Edward pays a dying debt. MMMMMXLIX - "EDSTHEREISSUCH" Enough of this; I pray thee, hold thy peace. Discredit my authority with yours; So should that beauty which you hold in lease That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars Have loved without this mean, if on both parts Employ'd you where high profits might come home, Rather than rob me of the people's hearts! Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: If it be made of penetrable stuff; She's, like a liar, gone to burning hell: Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough: Unready! ay, and glad we 'scaped so well. Come from the north; and as I came along Hast thou forgot thyself? is it so long? MMMMML - "STRENGTHANDWAR" See where he is, who's with him, what he does: They look into the beauty of thy mind, Remuneration for the thing it was; Expect him here: when he shall come and find No harm by it, though the gods hear, I hope Good fortune and the favour of the king To charge me to an answer, as the pope. He did, and from my finger snatch'd that ring. And sent the ragged soldiers wounded home. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am Dost overshine the gallant'st dames of Rome, Why he hath made the ewe bleat for the lamb; Against the steep uprising of the hill? Redeeming time when men think least I will. MMMMMLI - "RANTIZEOFSKILL" Rome shall record, and when I do forget And daily new exactions are devised, Nay, I will win my wager better yet, Treason, my lord! Lavinia is surprised! I cannot think my sister in the least Zounds! how has he the leisure to be sick Ere you can take due orders for a priest: Or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick, For on his visage was in little drawn She shall be married to this noble earl. King Henry and the prince his son are gone: Is she worth keeping? why, she is a pearl, Look into these affairs see this main end, Lady, will you walk about with your friend? MMMMMLII - "THATINMYMINDTH" That's bad enough, for I am but reproach: Hath nature that in time will venom breed, And yours, close fighting ere I did approach: The spirit of the time shall teach me speed. If that be all, masters, I hear no harm. Not, black angel; I have no food for thee. My unprovided body, lanch'd mine arm; You mean, to bear me, not to bear with me: My countryman; but yet I know him not. It were not for your quiet nor your good, Near or far off, well won is still well shot, Deceive more slily than Ulysses could, That we will prosecute by good advice He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. MMMMMLIII - "YWORSTALLBESTE" You might have been enough the man you are, With goodly shape and by your own report Of the duke's confessor, John de la Car, Rather than bloody war shall cut them short, So dost thou too, and therein dignified. That from my first have been inclined to thrift; And so I was; which plainly signified Love, lend me wings to make my purpose swift, Lead off this ground; and let's make further search But shall be render'd to your public laws Ephesians, my lord, of the old church. Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. MMMMMLIV - "XCEEDSWHOTAUGH" eXceeding pleasant; none a stranger there Cut off the sequence of posterity, Either be patient, and entreat me fair, Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, Steal from his figure and no pace perceived; What, is Lavinia then become so loose, Ha! little honour to be much believed, Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, To bloody battles and to bruising arms. And that his beauty may the better thrive, Upon my body with their hellish charms? Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw. He is not with himself; let us withdraw. MMMMMLV - "TTHEEHOWTOMAKE" That you shall say my cunning drift excels. Than that of thought. Suppose that you have seen Harmless Lucretia, marking what he tells Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen.

After him came spurring hard When your young nephew Titus lost his leg: Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. O Proteus, let this habit make thee blush! Made me collect these dangers in the duke. An advocate for an imposter! hush! Knocks go and come; God's vassals drop and die; Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MMMMMLVI - "MELOVETHEEMORE" Made to run even upon even ground, Even for this let us divided live, Lascivious metres, to whose venom sound Of my kind uncle, that I know will give; Values itself so highly that to her Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart! Thy love's to me religious; else, does err. How can I then be elder than thou art? Each present lord began to promise aid, England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. Marry that will, I live and die a maid: O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, Receive the blood: and when that they are dead, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MMMMMLVII - "THEMOREIHEARAN" This heavy-headed revel east and west He smiled me in the face, raught me his hand, Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. My woeful self, that did in freedom stand, O Brakenbury, I have done those things, Repose in fame; none basely slain in brawls: Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: It suffers not in smiling pomp, nor falls Hath she forgot already that brave prince, Each present lord began to promise aid, And pawn mine honour for their safety: since Rate me at what thou wilt, thou shalt be paid. Are we all ready? What is now amiss Now, gods that we adore, whereof comes this? MMMMMLVIII - "DSEEJUSTCAUSEO" Do this, and purchase us thy lasting friends.' Sent your worship a morning's draught of sack. Enter the city, clip your wives, your friends, Even like a man new haled from the rack, John. A strange fish! Were I in England now, Until their greater pleasures first be known Since thou wert king--as who is king but thou?-- There is a vent of blood and something blown: Come, madam, come; I in all haste was sent. And when she seem'd to shake and fear your looks, Under the blow of thralled discontent, She touch'd no unknown baits, nor fear'd no hooks; Either they must be dieted like mules Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. MMMMMLIX - "FHATEOTHOUGHIL" Forget the shames that you have stain'd me with, Here, love, thou seest how diligent I am, And I will give a taste of it forthwith The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb. Except thou wilt except against my love. Orlando doth commend him to you both; That I enjoy, being the queen thereof. Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath. On whom, as in despite, the sun looks pale, Upon my head and all this famous land. Great is his comfort in this earthly vale, His second marriage shall be publish'd, and In your protectorship you did devise Lady, with me, with me thy fortune lies. MMMMMLX - "OVEWHATOTHERSD" Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Where should be graven, if that right were right, His bed shall seem a school, his board a shrift; As matching to his youth and vanity, That from my first have been inclined to thrift; Of Timon man and all humanity! That promise noble service: and they come Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? Rust, sword? cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men, Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. MMMMMLXI - "OABHORWITHOTHE" O,--sixpence, that I had o' Wednesday last And would have kept so long as breath did last! By staying there so long till all were lost. He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass. O Hero, what a Hero hadst thou been, Remember whom you are to cope withal; Which, well thou know'st, is cross, and full of sin. It is too little, helping him to all; Than wife is to the husband? If this law Here are a few of the unpleasant'st words O, that that earth which kept the world in awe The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds His wonted height, yet ere he go to bed, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. MMMMMLXII - "RSTHOUSHOULDST" Retain that dear perfection which he owes Sit fas aut nefas, till I find the stream Then into limits could I bind my woes: Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; O, that the slave had forty thousand lives! Unarm, unarm, and do not fight to-day. See where she comes, and brings your froward wives Hunting thee hence with hunt's-up to the day, One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads; Upon the country where you make abode; Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed Surely, by all the glory you have won, To swear against you? such things have been done. MMMMMLXIII - "NOTABHORMYSTAT" Not fearing outward force, so shall my lungs Of horsemen, that were levied for this siege! To ease their stomachs with their bitter tongues. As Humphrey, proved by reasons, to my liege. But for my hand, as unattempted yet, He that commends me to mine own content O hound of Crete, think'st thou my spouse to get? Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Mark, Marcus, mark! I understand her signs: You were conducted to a gentle bath Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, The Turk, that two and fifty kingdoms hath, Ay, good brother, or go about to think. That Timon's fortunes 'mong his friends can sink. MMMMMLXIV - "EIFTHYUNWORTHI" Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought If it conceived a male child by me, should For doughty-handed are you, and have fought That lies like truth: 'Fear not, till Birnam wood Hath made her break out into terms of rage! Yet this thy praise cannot be so thy praise, Under an oak, whose boughs were moss'd with age, Now thou dost penance too. Look how they gaze! Will bring him to his wonted way again, Of thy assault: if he shall think it fit, Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. That greatness should so grossly offer it: Hail, king! for so thou art: behold, where stands I shall obey you in all fair commands. MMMMMLXV - "NESSRAISEDLOVE" Nothing but males. Will it not be received, England is safe, if true within itself? Steal from his figure and no pace perceived; Sir, I propose not merely to myself Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! As praises, of whose taste the wise are fond, I'll sweeten thy sad grave: thou shalt not lack Spoke with how manifold and strong a bond Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Did hold his eyes lock'd in her crystal looks. Lest rest and lying still might make them look O Rosalind! these trees shall be my books, Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? MMMMMLXVI - "INMEMOREWORTHY" I do beseech ye, if you bear me hard, Nor come we to add sorrow to your tears, My army but a weak and sickly guard; Environed with all these hideous fears? Most true it is that I have look'd on truth Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest. Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest, Was this fair paper, this most goodly book, One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Rather your eyes must with his judgment look.

Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. Of these fair edifices 'fore my wars Vat be all you, one, two, tree, four, come for? Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; Dost thou love hawking? Thou hast hawks will soar Of angry eyes, not comforted to live, For your good host. Pray that the right may thrive. MMMMMLXVIII - "THEELOVEISTOOY" Thyself, forsooth, hereafter theirs, so far His thinkings are below the moon, not worth Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; Extorted treasure in the womb of earth Let all the tears that should bedew my hearse Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his Visit the speechless sick and still converse Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is: I am his first-born son, that was the last Show me your image in some antique book, Till I be brought to such a silly pass! O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: O, coward that I am, to live so long, Your mother's hand shall right your mother's wrong. MMMMMLXIX - "OUNGTOKNOWWHAT" O tiger's heart wrapt in a woman's hide! Upon a fearful summons. I have heard Neglect him not; make use now, and provide Garnish'd like him, that for a tricksy word That ever yet this land was guilty of. O, in a tomb where never scandal slept, Kate, eat apace. And now, my honey love, No, when my father York and Edward wept, Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish When to her beauty I commend my vows, Whom God preserve better than you would wish!-- Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. And put your trial in the villain's mouth Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. MMMMMLXX - "CONSCIENCEISYE" Comfort, my liege; remember who you are. Of the good queen, but the sharp thorny points Nature dispenses with the deed so far Strive to speak big and clap their female joints Call'd to that audit by advised respects; I would attach you all and make you stoop Enshrines thee in his heart and there erects No? Saw you not, even now, a blessed troop Could run as fast as thou canst. You are straight Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, I'll serve you, sir, five hundred at the rate. Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds, Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, Else with the like I had requited him. MMMMMLXXI - "TWHOKNOWSNOTCO" The sweets we wish for turn to loathed sours What's your dark meaning, mouse, of this light word? He held me last night at least nine hours Of that report which I so oft have heard. Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild; Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild; Whiles lions war and battle for their dens, So that perforce you must needs stay a time. No occupation; all men idle, all; Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb These sentences, to sugar, or to gall, Cheerly to sea; the signs of war advance: Of all his wars within the realm of France? MMMMMLXXII - "NSCIENCEISBORN" Ne'er feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on She is not hot, but temperate as the morn; Caesar and Antony have ever won In thy sweet semblance my old age new born; England shall give him office, honour, might; Now when the lords and barons of the realm Clarence, beware; thou keep'st me from the light: Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. I have from their confines call'd to enact Sea-water shalt thou drink; thy food shall be Before I would have granted to that act. Of which if you should here disfurnish me, Reason. Come on, Trinculo, let us sing. Never yet taint with love, I send the king. MMMMMLXXIII - "OFLOVETHENGENT" Of moving accidents by flood and field Fight till the last gasp; I will be your guard. Like soldiers, when their captain once doth yield, Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Visit his countrymen, and banquet them? Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; That's he that was Othello: here I am. Hath been between this lady and this lord. Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen. No, my good lord; he speaks the common tongue, Gifts of rich value. Yet I have not seen Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Nay, if you read this line, remember not To rid the realm of this pernicious blot? MMMMMLXXIV - "LECHEATERURGEN" Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad? Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Consent to pay thee that I never had! Had fasten'd him unto a small spare mast, Envy your great deservings and good name, And in my vantbrace put this wither'd brawn, The setting of thine eye and cheek proclaim Envenom him with words, or get thee gone Robbing no old to dress his beauty new; Upon the instant that she was accused, Return of love, more blest may be the view; Good king, to be so mightily abused! East, west, north, south; or like a school broke up, Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. MMMMMLXXV - "OTMYAMISSLESTG" On me, and you, and mine, and yours for this! That one day bloom'd and fruitful were the next. Men are to mell with, boys are not to kiss: Your exposition on the holy text And I will sit as quiet as a lamb; Marcus, we are but shrubs, no cedars we I saw't this morning: confident I am Speak, gentle sister, who hath martyr'd thee? She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange, Let life be short; else shame will be too long. Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Shall wound my honour with such feeble wrong, To death or to dishonour; and my end Go, and be free again, as Suffolk's friend. MMMMMLXXVI - "UILTYOFMYFAULT" Upon his neck a mole, a sanguine star; Insulting tyranny begins to jet Like or find fault; do as your pleasures are: Than ever at one time the clergy yet You press me far, and therefore I will yield. Or so devote to Aristotle's checks From forth the noise and rumour of the field, Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks; Your old kind father, whose frank heart gave all! False justicer, why hast thou let her scape? As this is false he burdens me withal! Unless thou couldst put on some other shape, Look, what I will not, that I cannot do. Till now did ne'er invite, nor never woo. MMMMMLXXVII - "STHYSWEETSELFP" Such as the day is when the sun is hid. The black prince, sir; alias, the prince of Here is your hand and seal for what I did. Your sauciness will jest upon my love Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen, Embowell'd of their doctrine, have left off Establish him in his true sense again, That lie within the mercy of your wit. Shapes faults that are not--that your wisdom yet, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: Like heralds 'twixt two dreadful battles set: For some, untuck'd, descended her sheaved hat, Prithee, come hither: what fair lady's that? MMMMMLXXVIII - "ROVEFORTHOUBET" Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: On a dissension of a doit, break out Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. Empale him with your weapons round about; For some displeasing service I have done, Of civil wounds plough'd up with neighbours' sword; Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. That we for thee may glorify the Lord. Honour and virtue and conversed with such Or did he make the jest against his will? Unless I flatter with myself too much. Besides, old Gremio is heark'ning still, Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. To slay your sovereign and destroy the realm. MMMMMLXXIX - "RAYINGMEIDOBET" Rule in this realm, and the gor'd state sustain. And leaves it to be master'd by his young; Yet am I sick for fear: speak it again; Is this your promise? go to, hold your tongue. Now, Pompey, I have kept me from the cup. Gave healthful welcome to their shipwreck'd guests; More light, you knaves; and turn the tables up, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, Drew to defend him when he was beset: Of forfeiture, of justice and his bond. But when a black-faced cloud the world doth threat, Else with the like I had requited him. That it will quickly drop; my day is dim. MMMMMLXXX - "RAYMYNOBLERPAR" Romeo, that she were, O, that she were And at thy mercy shalt they stoop and kneel, You, to remove that siege of grief from her, My playfellow, your hand; this kingly seal Yet this thy praise cannot be so thy praise, Never was such a sudden scholar made; Or one encompass'd with a winding maze, Brethren and sisters of the hold-door trade, Loud music is too harsh for ladies' heads, Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Rescue those breathing lives to die in beds, Perchance some single vantages you took. An expired date, cancell'd ere well begun: Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. MMMMMLXXXI - "TTOMYGROSSBODY" The strongest body shall it make most weak, The lion dying thrusteth forth his paw, On one and other side, Trojan and Greek, My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw. You will bestow her on Orlando here? Give me your hands all over, one by one. Ran mad through sorrow: that made me to fear; On greatness' favour dream as I have done, So, by my former lecture and advice, So to enforce or qualify the laws By such invention as I can devise? O thou fond many, with what loud applause Did to his predecessors part withal. Your own is yours, and I am yours, and all. MMMMMLXXXII - "STREASONMYSOUL" So shall each lord of Greece, from tent to tent: That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars Repair'd with double riches of content. Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; And shall, or him we will accompany. So that by this intelligence we learn Or else you like not of my company. Now, Kate, I am a husband for your turn; Mark but the badges of these men, my lords, Your reasons are too shallow and too quick. Such pity as my rapier's point affords. Of the old rage: bear with me, I am sick; Upon my head and all this famous land. Ladies, withdraw: the gallants are at hand. MMMMMLXXXIII - "DOTHTELLMYBODY" Damsel, I'll have a bout with you again, O, take this warm kiss on thy pale cold lips, The mouths, the tongues, the eyes and hearts of men Have to the port of Athens sent their ships, The king and his companions: warily Empties itself, as doth an inland brook Look how we can, or sad or merrily, Love's stories written in love's richest book. My ancestors did from the streets of Rome Your resolution cannot hold, when 'tis Be emptied to redeem a traitor home? Once touch my shoulder. Great the slaughter is Deliver up my title in the queen Yet put it out, for I would not be seen. MMMMMLXXXIV - "THATHEMAYTRIUM" Take thou some of it, and seek through this grove: He leaves me, scorns me: briefly die their joys As is the sucking lamb or harmless dove: This was so and no slumber. Dreams are toys: Here is her hand, the agent of her heart; Each present lord began to promise aid, Myself the while to draw the Moor apart, Ah balmy breath, that dost almost persuade Yet none does know, but you, how she came dead, That the great figure of a council frames Rolling his greedy eyeballs in his head: I would we had a thousand Roman dames Unless it be to think that she is by More fresh in Julia's with a constant eye? MMMMMLXXXV - "PHINLOVEFLESHS" Performers of this heinous, bloody deed? He had of me a chain: at five o'clock If we do meet again, we'll smile indeed; Nor her, nor thee, nor any of thy stock: Let me redeem my brothers both from death. Out-rode me. After him came spurring hard Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Either betray'd by falsehood of his guard From whence at pleasure thou mayst come and part; Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove: Each Trojan that is master of his heart, So stakes me to the ground I cannot move. Hath not yet dived into the world's deceit So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet. MMMMMLXXXVI - "TAYSNOFATHERRE" They may vex us with shot, or with assault. And put my eyeballs in thy vaulty brows You kill'd her husband, and for that vile fault Should be full-fraught with serviceable vows. Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave, Of whom thy father, Prince of Wales, was first: For God doth know, so shall the world perceive, Alack, for lesser knowledge! how accursed That love the fundamental part of state Her blood, in poor revenge, held it in chase; Eternal numbers to outlive long date. Right joyous are we to behold your face, Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. MMMMMLXXXVII - "ASONBUTRISINGA" Alas, the tender boy, in passion moved, She conjures him by high almighty Jove, O, 'tis the curse in love, and still approved, Not to a rage. Patience and sorrow strove But it reserv'd some quantity of choice Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought That being pass'd for consul with full voice, Remember me at court; where I was taught If you respect them, best to take them up. So fair an outward and such stuff within I think you all have drunk of Circe's cup. Not to woo honour, but to wed it; when Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days. And do not shear the fleeces that I graze. MMMMMLXXXVIII - "TTHYNAMEDOTHPO" The more delay'd, delighted. Be content; Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, His statutes cancell'd and his treasure spent; You never shall, so help you truth and God! Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen; A precious ring, a ring that I must use My wedded lord, I ne'er shall see again, Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news. Discourse, I prithee, on this turret's top. Or, by Saint Paul, I'll strike thee to my foot, That wildly grows in them, but yields a crop How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? Pray thee, peace. Pay her the debt you owe her, O, pray, let's see't: for the Lord Timon, sir? MMMMMLXXXIX - "INTOUTTHEEASHI" Is now in England, ransacking the church, Now will I dam up this thy yawning mouth That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: O prudent discipline! From north to south: Under whose colours he had fought so long. Thanks, noble Clarence; worthy brother, thanks. Their father was too weak, and they too strong, How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, Esteem him as a lamb, being compared Establish him in his true sense again, A vessel rides fast by, but not prepared Say I do speak with her, my lord, what then? His present and your pains we thank you for: I pray thee, sing, and let me woo no more. MMMMMXC - "STRIUMPHANTPRI" Sit, worthy friends: my lord is often thus, The people's hearts, and wean them from themselves. Rebuke and dread correction wait on us I will advise you where to plant yourselves; Upon your oath of service to the pope, My lord, in heart; and let the health go round. Protector be; and God shall be my hope, His spell in that is out: the king hath found And interchangeably hurl down my gage Nor change my countenance for this arrest: The choice and master spirits of this age. Perhaps she cull'd it from among the rest. Respect and acquaintance, but I find none. I give to baser life. So; have you done? MMMMMXCI - "ZEPROUDOFTHISP" Zounds, where thou wilt, lad; I'll make one; an I Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Parcel the sum of my disgraces by Reply not in how many fathoms deep O ceremony, show me but thy worth! Uplift us to the view; in their thick breaths, Divides more wider than the sky and earth, Or let a rebel lead you to your deaths? Forestall prescience, and esteem no act That will forsake thee and go home in peace. How shall we then dispense with that contract, It were a shame to let this land by lease; So hath my lord dared him to single fight. Patroclus, let us feast him to the height. MMMMMXCII - "RIDEHEISCONTEN" Resorters stand upon sound legs. How now! I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Divine his downfall? Say, where, when, and how, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice England, impatient of your just demands, I shall be well content with any choice Seek you to seize and gripe into your hands Content yourself. God knows I loved my niece; Of such as have before endured the like. Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice, The riches of it: do his bidding; strike Establish him in his true sense again, None, sir; I have no pheasant, cock nor hen. MMMMMXCIII - "TEDTHYPOORDRUD" Thou think'st 'tis much that this contentious storm Exposing it--but, O, the harder heart!

Harbour more craft and more corrupter ends I your commission will forthwith dispatch, No, my good lords, it is not that offends; Thou hast not left the value of a cord; Here comes a man; let's stay till he be past. Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. It is of such a spacious lofty pitch, So sacred as it is, I have done sin: Like a poor beggar, raileth on the rich.

Some lay in dead men's skulls; and, in those holes Wherein my hope is I shall so prevail Only reserved their factor, to buy souls Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail.

Keep leets and law-days and in session sit I am his first-born son, that was the last Not wagging his sweet head; and yet as rough, Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff. Embark his royalty; and his brave fleet Shall I go win my daughter to thy will? Swell'st thou, proud heart? I'll give thee scope to beat, O that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill!

O, what a noble combat hast thou fought From son to son, some four or five descents Than their offence can weigh down by the dram; Ha! let me see her: out, alas! she's cold: You see how simple and how fond I am. Let's see once more this saying graved in gold Once did I get him bound and sent him home, Visit the speechless sick and still converse Exceeding the nine sibyls of old Rome: That I should wish for thee to help me curse Hath been most sound: I charge you by the law, You were half blasted ere I knew you: ha!

Receives rebuke from Norway, and, in fine, Unvenerable be thy hands, if thou That took some pains in writing, he begg'd mine; He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. Till after many accents and delays, Hath put himself in arms: the adverse winds, Your tender kinsman and to choke his days Come down, and welcome me to this world's light; Of the good queen, but the sharp thorny points Nor shines the silver moon one half so bright Strive to speak big and clap their female joints This very night; for Love is like a child, Ay me, detested! how am I beguiled! MMMMMCXXVI - "NCYANDTOENLIGH" Nay, and you will not, sir, I'll take my heels.

Than let him so be lost. O most kind maid, Or hedge aside from the direct forthright, Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Near to the town of Leicester, as we learn Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; I never spake bad word, nor did ill turn Give us some music; and, good cousin, sing. He did, and from my finger snatch'd that ring. MMMMMCXXVII - "TENTHEEGAVEEYE" That we find out the cause of this effect- Envy your great deservings and good name, Nor construe any further my neglect, Thou art not what thou seem'st; and if the same, Have notice what we purpose. I shall break Edward Plantagenet, why art thou dead? Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make God gi' god-den. I pray, sir, can you read? Art thou not second woman in the realm, Virtue he had, deserving to command: Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Ere I could make thee open thy white hand Your daughter, whom she bore in hand to love Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. MMMMMCXXVIII - "STOBLINDNESSOR" Sheathed unaware the tusk in his soft groin. The fountain from the which my current runs, O, two such silver currents, when they join, Be cross with him; and I'll go fetch thy sons Love not such nights as these. The wrathful skies In thee hath neither sting, knot, nor confine, No big-boned men framed of the Cyclops' size; Deck'd in thy rights, as thou art stall'd in mine! Nature's bequest gives nothing but doth lend, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, Shall we call back Northumberland, and send Seek for thy noble father in the dust. O, who can give an oath? where is a book? Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. MMMMMCXXIX - "MADETHEMSWEARA" My woeful self up in a mourning house, Are they gone, and there they intend to sup. Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: Enough to stifle such a villain up.

Was't not to this end Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; A crutch, a crutch! why call you for a sword? MMMMMCXXX - "GAINSTTHETHING" Give him direction for this merry bond, Against the steep uprising of the hill? Into the law of children. Be not fond, No honourable trust. I have done ill; Straining upon the start. The game's afoot: That does infect the land: with which they moved The cedar stoops not to the base shrub's foot, How I have ever loved the life removed Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! The more that Henry was unfortunate. He's both their parent, and he is their grave, It was a vision fair and fortunate: No: know the gallant monarch is in arms Good parts aside I have no other charms.

Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, For to no other pass my verses tend O monstrous! what reproachful words are these? Resolvedly more leisure shall express: If thou wilt outstrip death, go cross the seas, How canst thou urge God's dreadful law to us, And with the other fling it at thy face, Villains, for shame you could not beg for grace. MMMMMCXXXII - "ESWORNTHEEFAIR" Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold: Save base authority from others' books When he to madding Dido would unfold O, full of careful business are his looks! Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad, This fellow pecks up wit as pigeons pease, How say you now? is not your husband mad? Esteem none friends but such as are his friends, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek First, in this forest let us do those ends As though she bid me stay by her a week; I have with such provision in mine art Ready they were to shoot me to the heart. MMMMMCXXXIII - "MOREPERJUREDIT" Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young! O Tamora! thou bear'st a woman's face,-- Resolve your angry father, if my tongue Either withdraw unto some private place, Proving his beauty by succession thine! Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow. Razed out my imprese, leaving me no sign, Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow, Upon his party for the gain thereof: Reply not in how many fathoms deep Exceeds man's might; that dwells with gods above. Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap I think so too; for never gazed the moon That is beloved. How dost thou like this tune? MMMMMCXXXIV - "OSWEARAGAINSTT" O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost So, in the famous ancient city, Tours, Whose tongue is music now? what canst thou boast Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; And like a mountain, not to be removed. Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, Alas, the tender boy, in passion moved, Give me some present counsel, or, behold, And, in the fortune of my lord your son, Into the main of waters. Music! hark! Nay, that you shall not; since you have begun, Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: This one hand yet is left to cut your throats, The king hath many marching in his coats. MMMMMCXXXV - "HETRUTHSOFOULA" Here comes the herald of the French, my liege. Edward and York; then haply she will weep: Then turn your forces from this paltry siege Reply not in how many fathoms deep Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns; That I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts, Have we not lost most part of all the towns, Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts, Out of their best--is not almost a fault For has not the divine Apollo said, O, let me see thee walk. Thou dost not halt. Unless the earth with thy increase be fed? Let life be short; else shame will be too long. And I with him; for he hath done me wrong. MMMMMCXXXVI - "LIECUPIDLAIDBY" Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink! I am a feather for each wind that blows: Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think, Chief architect and plotter of these woes: Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil Pleased fortune does of Marcus Crassus' death If virtue's gloss will stain with any soil, Do you not see that I am out of breath? Look that you love your wife; her worth worth yours. And by whose letters I'll dispose myself. I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Do shameful execution on herself. But yet I'll bury thee: thou'lt go, strong thief, You hold too heinous a respect of grief. MMMMMCXXXVII - "HISBRANDANDFEL" Had York and Somerset brought rescue in, If he suppose that I have pleaded truth, Swear that he shall, and then I will begin. By innocence I swear, and by my youth Richer than sea and land? O, theft most base, And swear that brightness doth not grace the day? Never came poison from so sweet a place. Do rush upon us as their hungry prey. And oftentimes have purposed to forbid Need and oppression starveth in thine eyes, Directly interest: mark what Jacob did. For fleet-wing'd duty with thought's feathers flies. Each toy seems Prologue to some great amiss. Lavinia, you are not displeased with this? MMMMMCXXXVIII - "LASLEEPAMAIDOF" Lord Saturnine; whose virtues will, I hope, And then comes answer like an Absey book: Sith 'twas my fault to give the people scope, Let pity not be believ'd!' There she shook Either in hope or present, I'ld exchange Else had she with her father rang'd along. Patience, I say; your mind perhaps may change. An if you leave me so, you do me wrong. Mine ear is open and my heart prepared; As thoughts do blow them, higher and higher. In things right true my heart and eyes have erred, Doth too too oft betake him to retire, Or whether revolution be the same. Free from these slanders and this open shame! MMMMMCXXXIX - "DIANSTHISADVAN" Drop in my neck: as it determines, so It is to be all made of sighs and tears; And die as fast as they see others grow; Niece. O brave Hector!

And plighter of high hearts! O, that I were Nor, I'll assure you, better taken, sir. MMMMMCXL - "TAGEFOUNDANDHI" That we must curb it upon others' proof; And to his protestation urged the rest, Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof: Excepting one, I would he were the best Full surfeits, and the dryness of his bones, O cheerful colours! see where Oxford comes! Unpeopled offices, untrodden stones? No malice, sir; no more than well becomes Destroy'd themselves, and lost the realm of France! Are glad and fain by flight to save themselves. Nay, then 'tis time to stir him from his trance. Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves! Her maid is gone, and she prepares to write, Is't possible you will away to-night? MMMMMCXLI - "SLOVEKINDLINGF" Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: O, welcome, Oxford! for we want thy help. Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, England, impatient of your just demands, Knowing all measures, the full Caesar will I'll beat thee, but I should infect my hands. Now is a time to storm; why art thou still? Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee. Let him have time against himself to rave, I pray you do not fall in love with me, Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, God for his mercy! what a tide of woes For I have bought it with an hundred blows. MMMMMCXLII - "IREDIDQUICKLYS" I speak of Africa and golden joys. Reprieve thee from thy fate, it should proceed: Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys. Do you not love me? do you not, indeed? I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours Did, as a prophet, weep what it foresaw Question your royal thoughts, make the case yours; Upon her head a platted hive of straw, I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Carries noise, and behind him he leaves tears: Knowing all measures, the full Caesar will Let them be free, marry them to your heirs? You never had a servant to whose trust Seek for thy noble father in the dust. MMMMMCXLIII - "TEEPINACOLDVAL" This night forestall him of the coming day! Excels whatever yet you look'd upon Each shadow makes him stop, each murmur stay: Plainly denouncing vengeance upon John. I do arrest your words. Be that you are, Not I, my lord; sith true nobility And let me buy your friendly help thus far, Corrupting in its own fertility. One hundred twenty six: added to these, Lets fall his sword before your highness' feet, Domestics to you, serve your will as't please Villain, thou didst deny the gold's receipt, And when I rear my hand, do you the like, Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike. MMMMMCXLIV - "LEYFOUNTAINOFT" Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth, Each leaning on their elbows and their hips: Yet, I persuade myself, to speak the truth Fain would I go to chafe his paly lips O God, I have an ill-divining soul! Under the blow of thralled discontent, Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: To my inheritance of free descent. And not deface your honour with reproach? I go: and towards three or four o'clock Now bind my brows with iron; and approach O, pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. For the instalment of this noble duke Thus ever did rebellion find rebuke. MMMMMCXLV - "HATGROUNDWHICH" Had you not been their father, these white flakes And hasty, like a Scotch jig, and full as The ample proposition that hope makes God save King Harry, unking'd Richard says, Receive it friendly; but from this time forth O wonderful, when devils tell the truth! Under the lordly monarch of the north, No, faith, young Troilus; doff thy harness, youth; Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: Which purchase if thou make, for fear of slips Hath sent a letter to his father's house. I would not thy good deeds should from my lips Could to no issue of true honour bring. Had the fore-hand and vantage of a king. MMMMMCXLVI - "BORROWDFROMTHI" Become thy great birth nor deserve a crown. On him, on him! Look you how pale he glares! Ride, ride, Messala: let them all come down. Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares; Or as a moat defensive to a house, Were not the proof so nigh. Please you, great sir, Doll Tearsheet she by name, and her espouse: For in the marches here we heard you were, Receive my tears and seem to weep with me; Or piteous they will look, like drowned mice. Mud not the fountain that gave drink to thee; Thy son is banish'd upon good advice, How canst thou urge God's dreadful law to us, I am fearful: wherefore frowns he thus? MMMMMCXLVII - "SHOLYFIREOFLOV" Shall witness live in brass of this day's work: Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurk Let music sound while he doth make his choice; Your gracious self to take on you the charge For me, the ransom of my bold attempt I long to know the truth hereof at large. Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt Enow to press a royal merchant down Or, having sworn too hard a keeping oath, For I am rightful heir unto the crown. Lend me thy cloak, Sir Thomas. Brothers both, O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. MMMMMCXLVIII - "EADATELESSLIVE" Each changing place with that which goes before, A hundred pound in gold more than your loss. Divide your happy England into four; A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross; That you would have me seek into myself Embowell'd will I see thee by and by: Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself Either to get the town again or die: So offers he to give what she did crave; She touch'd no unknown baits, nor fear'd no hooks; Let him have time against himself to rave, Is my strict fast; I mean, my children's looks; Valour. Challenge me the count's youth to fight Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! MMMMMCXLIX - "LYHEATSTILLTOE" Let what is dear in Sicily be cheap: York cannot speak, unless he wear a crown. How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep, Excuse; it is to beat usurping down. According to the measure of their states. To an infected jelly and my name Should pass this way as you did: O, the Fates! This widow lady? In her right we came; In zeal to you and highly moved to wrath Lo, by thy side where Rape and Murder stands; Look, here's a letter from him: the state hath Then you love us, we you, and we'll clasp hands: Of both your armies; whose equality Each stone's dear nature, worth, and quality. MMMMMCL - "NDUREANDGREWAS" Never so much as in a thought unborn Dear sir, ere long I'll visit you again. Unknown to woman, never was forsworn, Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, Envenom him with words, or get thee gone And seal the title with a lovely kiss! Not you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. Go, by this token: rise, and lend thine ear: Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen Even or odd, of all days in the year, What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen! And Jove, for your love, would infringe an oath. So then two bosoms and a single troth. MMMMMCLI - "EETHINGBATHWHI" Either they must be dieted like mules Excuse me so, coming too short of thanks Then the liars and swearers are fools, How, with his banners and his well-paid ranks, I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats; Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Great men should drink with harness on their throats. But more of that anon. Take him aside. And future ages groan for this foul act; The battles of the Lord of hosts he fought: How joyful am I made by this contract! When to the sessions of sweet silent thought Her new-built virtue and obedience. In forwarding this dear expedience. MMMMMCLII - "CHYETMENPROVEA" Could all my travels warrant me they live. His presence at the tyrant's feast, I hear You are my all the world, and I must strive Ely with Richmond troubles me more near The mellow plum doth fall, the green sticks fast, Make mouths upon me when I turn my back; Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Nay then, the wanton lies; my face is black. Pieces of gold 'gainst this which then he wore Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death. Or with the clamorous report of war Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; Excels whatever yet you look'd upon And, seeking death, find life: let it come on. MMMMMCLIII - "GAINSTSTRANGEM" Good Master Vernon, I am bound to you, And here he means to spend his time awhile: If they return in their own shapes to woo? Now, Falstaff, where have you been all this while? Some beast rear'd this; there does not live a man. The son of Clarence have I pent up close; Some certain of your brethren roar'd and ran That chase thee from thy country and expose Rather than render back, out with your knives, After all this, how did he bear himself? Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Give way to what's seen now! Sir, you yourself Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. My lord, you take us even at the best. MMMMMCLIV - "ALADIESASOVERE" As after some oration fairly spoke Learn him forbearance from so foul a wrong. And make me travel forth without my cloak, Demetrius and Egeus, go along: I vow'd, base knight, when I did meet thee next, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: So much against the mettle of your sex, And such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Vilely bound up? What would he say? Or how Either thou art most ignorant by age, Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Enough; I read your fortune in your eye. MMMMMCLV - "IGNCUREBUTATMY" Is spotless reputation: that away, Go seek him; tell him I would speak with him. No, not take interest, not, as you would say, Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn! Unarm thee, go, and doubt thou not, brave boy, Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord; Each opposite that blanks the face of joy Breathless and faint, leaning upon my sword, Unmeritable shuns your high request. Thou canst not speak too much; I have deserved And you, my sovereign lady, with the rest, That I some lady trifles have reserved, Makes him speak fondly, like a frantic man Yet this I will not do, do how I can. MMMMMCLVI - "MISTRESSEYELOV" My dear wife's estimate, her womb's increase, I may not suffer you to visit them; Set at liberty: the fat ribs of peace Two lovely berries moulded on one stem; Rome could afford no tribune like to these. Envy your great deservings and good name, Should a like language use to all degrees Sent his poor queen to France, from whence she came, Exempt from envy, but not from disdain, Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Extremely stretch'd and conn'd with cruel pain, Let's purge this choler without letting blood: Of butcher'd princes fight in thy behalf Veal, quoth the Dutchman. Is not 'veal' a calf? MMMMMCLVII - "ESBRANDNEWFIRE" Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Shall never leak, though it do work as strong By staying there so long till all were lost. Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long, Again in pity of my hard distress Nor construe any further my neglect, Deliver them, and your appeal to us Nothing is good, I see, without respect: End in one purpose, and be all well borne Witness the sorrow that their sister makes. For this I shall have time enough to mourn. It makes the consuls base: and my soul aches Rather your eyes must with his judgment look. Else you may be marvellously mistook. MMMMMCLVIII - "DTHEBOYFORTRIA" Dinner is ready, and your father stays. They come like sacrifices in their trim, Her more than haste is mated with delays, Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him. But, by your leave, it never yet did hurt Of half that worth as those your swords, made rich You less know how to value her desert From Ampthill where the princess lay; to which Of both your armies; whose equality Rancour will out: proud prelate, in thy face That will be thaw'd from the true quality Reignier, stand thou as Dauphin in my place: I will go eat with thee and see your knights. And drive his purpose on to these delights. MMMMMCLIX - "LNEEDSWOULDTOU" Lord, who would live turmoiled in the court, Not shall we need his help these fourteen days. Except some petty towns of no import: Embolden'd with the glory of her praise, Do not desire to see this letter. Spy her through the wall. You shall see, it will When life is shamed, and death reproach's debtor. O me! come near me now I am much ill. Unless you can find sport in their intents, Laid gifts before him, proffer'd him their oaths, Dissemble all your griefs and discontents: To me she's married, not unto my clothes. Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field, Upon the left hand of the even field. MMMMMCLX - "CHMYBREASTISIC" Come, come it nay not be. I wonder much, His deeds with doing them, and is content Might I but live to see thee in my touch, Yet to be known shortens my made intent. By a divine instinct men's minds mistrust Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets. Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, And, with a martial scorn, with one hand beats Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: That ever Hector and Achilles meet; I must unto the road, to disembark Seek out King John and fall before his feet; Is it no more to be your daughter than Colbrand the giant, that same mighty man? MMMMMCLXI - "KWITHALTHEHELP" Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out: Which here appeareth due upon the bond. I stand dishonour'd, that have gone about Thy letters have transported me beyond He'll think your mother chides, and leave you so. And should he doubt it, as no doubt he doth, Lend me a light. Know we this face or no? Till the high fever seethe your blood to froth, He hearkens after prophecies and dreams; Enough to purchase what you have made known. He makes me angry with him; for he seems Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain. Peace! break thee off! Look where it comes again! MMMMMCLXII - "OFBATHDESIREDA" O thou sweet king-killer, and dear divorce For virtue and true beauty of the soul, But not for that dream I on this strange course, At the temple, and there, before the whole That he which is was wish'd until he were; Here to have death in peace is all he'll crave. Death: her death itself, which could not be her Even like thy chastity. O cursed slave! Sir, I commend you to your own content. I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, Rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent, Enough, enough, my lord; you have enough: Dispark'd my parks and fell'd my forest woods, And thither bear your treasure and your goods. MMMMMCLXIII - "NDTHITHERHIEDA" Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike. Doth make a stand at what your highness will. Than those I shed for him. What was he like? Her stand she takes upon a steep-up hill: I would that I were low laid in my grave: This I must do, or know not what to do; Here to have death in peace is all he'll crave. Engenders the black toad and adder blue, Robs me of that which not enriches him Henry the Fifth: whiles they each other cross, If thou, that bid'st me be content, wert grim, Excited me to treason: their dear loss, Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, And by herself, I will not tell you whose. MMMMMCLXIV - "SADDISTEMPERDG" Some, that are mad if they behold a cat; And leave your children, wives and you in peace. Did lack a parallel; yet for all that Dry up in her the organs of increase; It may be I shall raise you by and by So God help Warwick, as he loves the land, The sweat of industry would dry and die, Every man shift for all the rest, and My duty then shall pay me for my pains: Plucked geese, played truant and whipped top, I knew Endue you with the people's voice: remains Return of love, more blest may be the view; Do not you meddle; let me deal in this. Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss. MMMMMCLXV - "UESTBUTFOUNDNO" Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit; Enforced from the old Assyrian slings: She took the ring of me: I'll none of it. Two such controlling bounds shall you be, kings, But, gentle people, give me aim awhile, Uproar the universal peace, confound Tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile Full thirty times hath Phoebus' cart gone round Or durst not, for his craven heart, say thus. Upon the foot of fear, fled with the rest; Now, fair one, does your business follow us? Does show the mood of a much troubled breast; Nor send him forth that we may bear him hence. Offer their own lives in their young's defence? MMMMMCLXVI - "CURETHEBATHFOR" Corrupt the tender honour of a maid: Upon the north side of this pleasant chase; Received that sum, yet there remains unpaid Extinguishing his conduct in this case; To sound more sweetly in great Caesar's ear Hate all, curse all, show charity to none, Ely with Richmond troubles me more near But join in friendship, as your lords have done. Attend the true event, and put we on Thyself a queen, for me that was a queen, Hark, canst thou hear me? I will play the swan. For when we rage, advice is often seen Of such a burden, male twins, both alike: Rings, jewels, any thing his rage did like. MMMMMCLXVII - "MYHELPLIESWHER" My lord, stand back, and let the coffin pass. Your hearts will throb and weep to hear him speak. How often said, my dignity would last Entreat her fair; and, by my soul, fair Greek, Lions more confident, mountains and rocks Prizes not quantity of dirty lands; Look, how you butt yourself in these sharp mocks! It likes us well; young princes, close your hands. Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; So from himself impiety hath wrought, Whence honour but of danger wins a scar, His father never was so true begot: Even so void is your false heart of truth. Remains in danger of her former tooth. MMMMMCLXVIII - "ECUPIDGOTNEWFI" Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. Could say she were worse: think you of a worse Upon the lute doth ravish human sense; Pour all your tears! I am your sorrow's nurse, If you choose that, then I am yours withal. Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within, Great God of heaven, say Amen to all! Of all that hear me, and my near'st of kin That should be in a Roman you do want, Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts, Each cheek a river running from a fount Wherein they say you shine, Your sum of parts Fix'd on the summit of the highest mount, I was preserved to serve this noble count. MMMMMCLXIX - "REMYMISTRESSEY" Rome's royal mistress, mistress of my heart, Extremity of griefs would make men mad; My charge was but to fetch you from the mart You have no children, butchers! if you had, May deem that you are worthily deposed. I will not kiss thee; then the rot returns So hot a speed with such advice disposed, That honourable grief lodged here which burns Remain a pinch'd thing; yea, a very trick Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; So there's my riddle: one that's dead is quick: Seeming to bury that posterity Enter, go in; the market bell is rung. Yet should both ear and heart obey my tongue. MMMMMCLXX - "ESTHELITTLELOV" Enter his thoughts, save such as do revolve Stone him with harden'd hearts harder than stones; That you affect; and so must you resolve, Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones Ere so prevail'd with me: it will in time Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: In the division of each several crime, To mend the petty present, I will piece The breath is gone whereof this praise is made: Look to your little mistress, on whose grace Each present lord began to promise aid, Lysander and myself will fly this place. O, cry you mercy, sir, I have mistook: Very ill-favoredly, Master Brook. MMMMMCLXXI - "EGODLYINGONCEA" Enfeoff'd himself to popularity; Good parts aside I have no other charms. Open as day for melting charity; Defend the justice of my cause with arms, Live you the marble-breasted tyrant still; You must not marvel, Helen, at my course, I here importune death awhile, until Never pray more; abandon all remorse; Good for their meat, and safer for their lives. Of England's true-anointed lawful king. Now, good Sir John, how like you Windsor wives? Come, come, I'll hear no more of this; I'll sing Even in theirs and in the commons' ears, And knows not how to do it but with tears. MMMMMCLXXII - "SLEEPLAIDBYHIS" Straight will I bring you to the loathsome pit Look, when I vow, I weep; and vows so born, Except a sword or sceptre balance it: End in one purpose, and be all well borne Play with his locks: then would Adonis weep; Look after him and cannot do him good, And sometime where earth-delving conies keep, I shall not be hang'd now, although I would; Discharged. But come, your Bergomask: let your But from Lord Angelo by special charge. Your highness told me I should post before. He calls me to a restitution large I am his first-born son, that was the last She's dead as earth. Lend me a looking glass. MMMMMCLXXIII - "SIDEHISHEARTIN" Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. I should not make so dear a show of zeal: Doubtless he shrives this woman to her smock; Ere I can perfect mine intents, to kneel: He's a lamb indeed, that baes like a bear. If that be all, masters, I hear no harm. Swear nature's death for framing thee so fair. His legs bestrid the ocean: his rear'd arm Enfranchising his mouth, his back, his breast. At my depart, these were his very words: Resolve my doubt. You twain, of all the rest, The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds I tell thee, Pole, when in the city Tours No more than from my soul I mourn for yours. MMMMMCLXXIV - "FLAMINGBRANDWH" Full well I wot the ground of all this grudge: Lives not this day within the city walls: And should, if I were worthy to be judge, Marcus, my brother! 'tis sad Titus calls. I think it cites us, brother, to the field, Not yet mature, yet matchless, firm of word, Go to him, Dolabella, bid him yield; But then I saw no harm, and then I heard Richard, thy wife, that wretched Anne thy wife, And much too little of that good I saw No other obligation! By my life, Did, as a prophet, weep what it foresaw While other sports are tasking of their minds, He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. MMMMMCLXXV - "ILSTMANYNYMPHS" If thou be'st yet a fresh uncropped flower, Let it suffice thee that I trust thee not. So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? That ever-valiant and approved Scot, Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn, As full of sorrows as the sea of sands, Necessity will make us all forsworn You have enscheduled briefly in your hands. Nor need I tallies thy dear love to score; Your mind from feasting. Sooth, when I was young Much like a press of people at a door, Peace, wilful boy, or I will charm your tongue. Hath brought me up to be your daughter's dower, So, come death! Two o'clock is your hour? MMMMMCLXXVI - "THATVOWDCHASTE" To laugh at gibing boys and stand the push How fares my lord? Help, lords! the king is dead. Am I your bird? I mean to shift my bush, Thing like a man, but of no woman bred! Villains, set down the corse; or, by Saint Paul, Offence of mighty note; but to himself Which is the side that I must go withal? Do all expect that you should rouse yourself, Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back: Happy the parents of so fair a child; And all they foul that thy complexion lack. So sober-sad, so weary, and so mild, Thou hast leisure, say thy prayers; when thou hast Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. MMMMMCLXXVII - "LIFETOKEEPCAME" Let us sit down and mark their yelping noise; In the mean time, what hear you of these wars? Faith, sir, you need not fear. When we were boys, Even as she speaks, why, their hearts were yours; That what he speaks is all in debt; he owes Or keeping what is sworn, you will prove fools. Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes. Either they must be dieted like mules Either to die the death or to abjure Provokes this deluge most unnatural. Come on, I say; and first begin with her. A thing divine, for nothing natural Mark and perform it, see'st thou! for the fail Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. MMMMMCLXXVIII - "TRIPPINGBYBUTI" That for thyself: I will not so presume Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, In doing courtesies, and one in whom Play with your fancies, and in them behold Pawn'd honest looks, but laid no words to gage. If you should die before him, where's her dower? Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Get the learned writer to set down our Bows not his vassal head and strucken blind You do unbend your noble strength, to think But such a face should bear a wicked mind. Under love's heavy burden do I sink. The country cocks do crow, the clocks do toll, I do repent it from my very soul. MMMMMCLXXIX - "NHERMAIDENHAND" Ne'er brake into extremity of rage. Hath drops too few to wash her clean again Either thou art most ignorant by age, Remember, boys, I pour'd forth tears in vain, My head with more ill news, for it is full. And fly like chidden Mercury from Jove, I think he thinks upon the savage bull. Did ever Dian so become a grove Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. Are of imagination all compact: Nor it nor no remembrance what it was: Dear general, I never gave you cause. MMMMMCLXXX - "THEFAIRESTVOTA" There is no malice in this burning coal; He will do all in all as Hastings doth. Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul, For virtue's office never breaks men's troth. And do invite you to my sister's view, I must be one of these same dumb wise men, Reverend youth; and I praise God for you. Establish him in his true sense again, Stand not amazed: the prince will doom thee death, The people fear me; for they do observe Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; O god of love! I know he doth deserve That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch: And a true lover of the holy church. MMMMMCLXXXI - "RYTOOKUPTHATFI" Richard the second here was hack'd to death; Yet am I sworn and I did purpose, boy, Twin-born with greatness, subject to the breath Of skilful painting, made for Priam's Troy: O princely Buckingham I'll kiss thy hand, Kill'd by the hand of Douglas; young Prince John, Unmanner'd dog! stand thou, when I command: Pray you, walk near: I'll speak with you anon. Therefore we'll have some half a dozen friends, How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? And make the hearts of Romans serve your ends! That hath enrag'd him on to offer strokes, Free from a stubborn opposite intent, In this the heaven figures some event. MMMMMCLXXXII - "REWHICHMANYLEG" Remuneration for the thing it was; Empale him with your weapons round about; With all your just proceedings in this cause. Here stood he in the dark, his sharp sword out, If I want gold, steal but a beggar's dog, Couldst thou save nothing? Didst thou give 'em all? Having first seized his books, or with a log Meantime look gracious on thy prostrate thrall. And you, forsooth, had the good duke to keep: Nor never seek prevention of thy foes. Your beauty: which did haunt me in my sleep Let me be blest to make this happy close; Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. Giving my verdict on the white rose side. MMMMMCLXXXIII - "IONSOFTRUEHEAR" I did not see you since you sent me hence, Out at your window betwixt twelve and one? No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence So that, as clear as is the summer's sun. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, From my poor cheek? then he hath wasted it: To what is count's man: count's master is of Return those duties back as are right fit, Upon this spotted and inconstant man. Enrich the time to come with smooth-faced peace, He was as calm as virtue--he began Enjoy the kingdom after my decease. And all in war with Time for love of you, Rapine and Murder, you are welcome too. MMMMMCLXXXIV - "TSHADWARMDANDS" Till that the nature of your fault be known Spoke with how manifold and strong a bond Had princes sit, like stars, about his throne, As praises, of whose taste the wise are fond, Destruction fang mankind! Earth, yield me roots! What is the issue of the business there. And fit it with such furniture as suits Rather, lost more. And by this hand I swear, My gracious uncle, let me know my fault: Did see man die! scarce ever look'd on blood, And 'twixt the green sea and the azured vault Never came reformation in a flood, Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass, She's dead as earth. Lend me a looking glass. MMMMMCLXXXV - "OTHEGENERALOFH" Only my blood speaks to you in my veins; Then the liars and swearers are fools, His eye, which late this mutiny restrains, Either they must be dieted like mules Go to, we pardon thee: therefore, in brief, Each man apart, all single and alone, Now is that noble vessel full of grief, Endeavor'd my advancement to the throne: Rely upon it till my tale be heard, And dispossessing all my other parts Look in the calendar, and bring me word. O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts; For shame, my lord of Winchester, relent! Hath blown that vice in me: I must repent. MMMMMCLXXXVI - "OTDESIREWASSLE" O, I will to him and pluck out his eyes! Their precious stones new lost; became his guide, Do thou but call my resolution wise, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. So may the outward shows be least themselves: In spending your wit in the praise of mine. Relish a truth like us, inform yourselves Edward the Third, he bids you then resign Whoe'er helps thee, 'tis thou that must help me: And dead almost, my liege, to think you were- Some god direct my judgment! Let me see; Stay, madam; here is more belongs to her; Leap in with me into this angry flood, Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop of blood. MMMMMCLXXXVII - "EPINGBYAVIRGIN" Else would he never so demean himself. Pronounce thee a gross lout, a mindless slave, I promise you, I scarcely know myself: Not being Fortune, he's but Fortune's knave, Go bear it to the Centaur, where we host, But prosper better than the Trojan did. You all look strangely on me; and you most. And oftentimes have purposed to forbid Vex not yourself, nor strive not with your breath; In the great hand of God I stand; and thence Richard the second here was hack'd to death; God put it in thy mind to take it hence, Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Not painted with the crimson spots of blood. MMMMMCLXXXVIII - "HANDDISARMDTHI" How now, my noble lord? what, all afoot? An't please your grace, the two great cardinals Nimble mischance, that art so light of foot, Digest this letter of the cardinal's? Dally not with the gods, but get thee gone. It reaches far, and where 'twill not extend, So workmanly the blood and tears are drawn. Art thou gone so? love, lord, ay, husband, friend! Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains My daughter shall be Henry's, if he please. Destroy'd his country, and his name remains Tongues spit their duties out, and cold hearts freeze He that is strucken blind cannot forget I'll pay that doctrine, or else die in debt. MMMMMCLXXXIX - "SBRANDSHEQUENC" She gave me none, except an angry word. But, since you make your pleasure of your pains, Rely upon it till my tale be heard, And I, her husband, contradict your banes. No thought can think, nor tongue of mortal tell. Do not believe him. O, behold this ring, Shrunk to this little measure? Fare thee well. Hath crawl'd into the favour of the king, Each one by him enforced, retires his ward; Quiet and gentle thy conditions! for Under the wrath of noble Hotspur's sword, Each changing place with that which goes before, No further halting: satisfy me home Caesar did write for him to come to Rome. MMMMMCXC - "HEDINACOOLWELL" Had I but seen thy picture in this plight, Ere I taste bread, thou art in nothing less Doth but usurp the sacred name of knight, It most of all these reasons bindeth us, Not whom we will, but whom his grace affects, And when 'tis told, O that my heart would burst!
