SORROW,-continued.

All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise; our size of sorrrow,
Proportion'd to our cause must be as great,
As that which makes it.

A. C. iv. 13.

W. T. iii. 3.

This she delivered in the most bitter touch of sorrow, that e'er I heard virgin exclaim in.

Down, thou climbing sorrow, thy element's below.

But sorrow, that is couch'd in seeming gladness,
Is like that mirth fate turns to sudden sadness.
This sorrow's heavenly,

It strikes where it doth love.

And now and then an ample tear trill'd down
Her delicate cheek; it seem'd, she was a queen
Over her passion; who, most rebel-like,
Sought to be king o'er her.

A. W.i. 3.

K. L. ii. 4.

T.C. i. 1.

0. v. 2.

K. L. iv. 3.

Her nature became as a prey to her grief; in fine, made a groan of her last breath, and now she sings in heaven.

PARENTAL.

My grief

Stretches itself beyond the hour of death;

A. W. iv. 3.

The blood weeps from my heart, when I do shape,

In forms imaginary, the unguided days,

And rotten times that you shall look upon

When I am sleeping with my ancestors. H. IV. PT. 11. iv. 5.

MANLY.

One, whose subdu'd eyes,

Albeit unused to the melting mood,

Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees,

Their medicinal gum.

MOCKED.

These miseries are more than may be borne !

To weep with them that weep doth ease some deal,

0. v.2

But sorrow flouted at his double death. Tit. And. iii. 1.

UNCALLED FOR.

The tears live in an onion that should water this sorrow.

A. C. i. 2.

SOUL.

Though that be sick it dies not.

H. IV. PT. II. ii. 2.

SOUL,-continued.

Every subject's duty is the king's, but every subject's
soul is his own.
H. V. iv. 1.
Mount, mount, my soul, thy seat is up on high. R. II. v. 5.
Were souls do couch on flowers, we'll hand in hand,
And with our sprightly sport, make the ghosts gaze.

Since thou hast far to go, bear not along
The clogging burden of a guilty soul.
Swift-wing'd souls.

SOUR LOOKS.

A.C. iv. 12

R. II. i. 3.

R. III. ii. 3.

How tartly that gentleman looks! I never can see him but I am heart-burned an hour after.

M.A.1.

H. IV. PT. II. iii. 4.

You might have truss'd him, and all his apparel, into an eel-skin; the case of a treble hautboy was a mansion for him, a court; and now has he land and bees.

SPEECH (See also RECITATION).

H. IV. PT. II. iii. 2.

Before we proceed any further, hear me speak.
His speech sticks in my heart.

I would be loath to cast away my speech;
that it is excellently well penn'd, I have taken
to con it.

'Tis well said again;

And 'tis a kind of good deed, to say well:
And yet words are no deeds.

Spoke like a spriteful noble gentleman.

DISORDERED.

And when he speaks

C. i. 1.

A. C. i. 5.

for, besides great pains

T. N. i. 5.

H. VIII. iii. 2.

K. J. iv. 2.

'Tis like a chime a mending; with terms unsquar'd,
Which, from the tongue of roaring Typhon dropt,
Would seem hyperboles.

SPEED.

O, I am scalded with my violent motion
And spleen of speed to see your majesty.
Bloody with spurring; fiery red with haste.

T.C. i. 3.

K.J. v.7.

R. II. ii. 3.

SPIRITS (See also APPARITIONS, GHOSTS, ELVES, FAIRIES). Why, now I see there's mettle in thee; and even, from this instant, do build on thee a better opinion than ever before. 0. iv. 2.

SPIRITS,-continued.

Forth at your eyes, your spirits wildly peep.
That gallant spirit hath aspir'd the clouds.
The spirit of the time shall teach me speed.
INFERNAL.

Black spirits and white,

Red spirits and grey;
Mingle, mingle, mingle,

You that mingle may.

Now, ye familiar spirits, that are cull'd
Out of the powerful regions under earth,
Help me this once.

H. iii. 4.

R. J. iii. 1.

K. J. iii. 4.

M. iv. 1.

H.VI. PT. I. v. 3.

Glendower.-I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur.-Why, so can I; or so can any man:
But will they come when you do call for them?

Show his eyes, and grieve his heart;
Come like shadows, so depart.

Infected be the air whereon they ride,
And damn'd all those that trust them.

SPIRITING.

Pardon, master:

I will be correspondent to command,
And do my spiriting gently.

SPITE.

H. IV. PT. I. iii. 1.

M. iv. 1.

M. iv. 1.

T. i. 2.

'Sfoot, I'll learn to conjure and raise devils, but I'll see some issue of my spiteful execrations.

SPLEEN.

Out, you mad-headed ape!

A weasel hath not such a deal of spleen
As you are toss'd with.

With the spleen of all the under fiends.
SPLENDOR.

T.C. ii. 3.

H. IV. PT. I. ii. 3.
C. iv. 1.

As gorgeous as the sun at midsummer. H. IV. PT. I. iv. 1,
It stuck upon him, as the sun
In the grey vault of heaven.

SPORT.

Sport royal, I warrant you.

H. IV. PT. II. ii. 3.

T. N. ii. 3.

Nay, I'll come; if I lose a scruple of this sport, let me be boiled to death with melancholy.

T.N. ii. 5.

Very reverend sport, truly; and done in the testimony of

a good conscience.

L. L. iv. 2.

SPORT,-continued.

That sport best pleases, that doth least know how:
Where zeal strives to content, and the contents
Die in the zeal of them which it presents,
Their form confounded makes most form in mirth;
When great things labouring perish in their birth.

L. L. v. 2.

It is admirable pleasures and fery honest knaveries.

M. W. iv. 4.

There's no such sport, as sport by sport o'erthrown;
To make theirs ours, and ours none but our own:
So shall we stay, mocking intended game,
And they, well mock'd, depart away with shame.

L. L. v. 2. I'll make one in a dance, or so; or I will play on the tabor to the worthies, and let them dance the hay. L. L. v. 1.

LADIES.

Thus men may grow wiser every day! it is the first time that ever I heard, breaking of ribs was sport for ladies.

SPOT (See also BLOT, STAIN).

With a spot I damn him.

SPRING.

When daisies pied, and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver-white,

And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue,
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,

Mocks married men, for thus sings he,
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo. O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!

When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are ploughmen's clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,

And maidens bleach their summer smocks.

The cuckoo then, &c.

When well-apparell'd April on the heel

Of limping winter treads.

SPRING FLOWERS.

O Proserpina,

For the flowers now, that, frighted, thou let'st fall

From Dis's waggon! daffodils

That come before the swallow dares, and take

The winds of March with beauty; violets, dim,
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes,

A. Y. i. 2.

J.C. iv. 1.

L. L. v. 2.

R. J. i. 2.

SPRING,-continued.

Or Cytherea's breath; pale primroses,
That die unmarried, ere they can behold
Bright Phoebus in his strength, a malady
Most incident to maids; bold oxlips, and
The crown imperial; lilies of all kinds,
The flower-de-luce being one.

STAIN (See also BLOT, SPOT).
Out, damned spot: out, I

say.

W.T. iv. 3.

M. v.1.

All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweaten this little hand.

It doth confirm

Another stain, as big as hell can hold.

The more fair and crystal is the sky,
The uglier seem the clouds that in it fly.

STALKING.

I shall stalk about her door,

Like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks,
Staying for waftage.

STARE.

Now he'll outstare the lightning.

STARS (See also PLANETARY INfluence).
The stars above us govern our condition.
Diana's waiting women.

STEALING.

M. v. 1.

Cym. ii. 4.

R. II. i. 1.

T. C. iii. 2.

A. C. iii. 11.

K. L. iv. 3.

T.C. v. 2.

Convey, the wise it call: Steal! foh; a fico for the phrase.

AWAY.

Therefore, to horse;

And let us not be dainty of leave-taking,

But shift away: There's warrant in that theft,
Which steals itself, when there's no mercy left.

STRANGE OCCURRENCE.

M. W. i. 3.

M. ii. 3.

If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.

To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous

M. M. ii. 2.
