Bid ye so far forget yourselves? I gave ye CHANCELLOR. Thus far, My most dread sovereign, may it like your grace To let my tongue excuse all. What was purpos'd Concerning his imprisonment, was rather (If there be faith in men,) meant for his trial, And fair purgation to the world, than malice; I am sure, in me. K. HEN. Well, well, my lords, respect him; Am, for his love and service, so to him. I have a suit which you must not deny me; You must be godfather, and answer for her. CRANMER. The greatest monarch now alive may glory In such an honour; How may I deserve it, K. HENRY VIII., A. 5, s. 2. A HAPPY CONSCIENCE THE K. RICHARD. Who saw the sun to-day? RATCLIFF. Not I, my lord. K. RICH. Then he disdains to shine; for, by the book, He should have brav'd the east an hour ago: Ratcliff- K. RICH. The sun will not be seen to-day; The sky doth frown and lour upon our army. I would, these dewy tears were from the ground. Not shine to-day! Why, what is that to me, More than to Richmond? for the self-same heaven, That frowns on me, looks sadly upon him. K. RICHARD III., A. 5, s. 3. A MAN REAPS WHAT HE SOWS. PAROLLES. Good monsieur Lavatch, give my lord Lafeu this letter: I have ere now, sir, been better known to you, when I have held familiarity with fresher clothes; but I am now, sir, muddied in fortune's moat, and smell somewhat strong of her strong displeasure. CLOWN. Truly, fortune's displeasure is but sluttish, if it smell so strong as thou speakest of: I will henceforth eat no fish of fortune's buttering. PAR. My lord, I am a man whom fortune hath most cruelly scratched. LAFEU. And what would you have me to do? 'tis too late to pare her nails now. Wherein have you played the knave with fortune, that she should scratch you, who of herself is a good lady, and would not have knaves thrive long under her. There's a quart d'ecu for you: Let the justices make you for other business. and fortune friends; I am ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL, A. 5, s. 2. A MIND DISTURBED IS A MIND DISEASED. TRIFLES, light as air, Are, to the jealous, confirmations strong As proofs of holy writ. This may do something. The Moor already changes with my poison:Dangerous conceits are, in their natures, poisons, Which, at the first, are scarce found to distaste; But, with a little act upon the blood, Burn like the mines of sulphur.-I did say so:Look, where he comes!

'Tis not unknown to you, Antonio, How much I have disabled mine estate, By something showing a more swelling port Than my faint means would grant continuance: Nor do I now make moan to be abridg'd From such a noble rate; but my chief care Is, to come fairly off from the great debts, Wherein my time, something too prodigal, Hath left me gaged: To you, Antonio, I owe the most, in money, and in love; And from your love I have a warranty ANTONIO. I pray you, good Bassanio, let me know it; And, if it stand, as you yourself still do, BASS. In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, I shot his fellow of the self-same flight The self-same way, with more advised watch, I oft found both: I urge this childhood proof, way Which you did shoot the first, I do not doubt, Or bring your latter hazard back again, ANT. You know me well; and herein spend but time, To wind about my love with circumstance; I did receive fair speechless messages: Nor is the wide world ignorant of her worth; And many Jasons come in quest of her. ANT. Thou know'st, that all my fortunes are at sea; Nor have I money, nor commodity To raise a present sum: therefore go forth, MERCHANT OF VENICE, A. 1, s. 1. A NOBLE NATURE AT WAR WITH ARTIFICE.
