FRIENDSHIP ASSIMILATES FRIENDS,-continued.
There must be needs a like proportion
Of lineaments, of manners, and of spirit.
FRIGIDITY (See also COLDNESS).

What a frosty-spirited rogue is this!
FROWN.

He parted frowning from me, as if ruin
Leap'd from his eyes.

FUNERAL RITES.

Her obsequies have been as far enlarg'd

M.V. iii. 4.

H. IV. PT. 1. ii. 3.

H. VIII. ii. 2

As we have warranty: Her death was doubtful;
And, but that great command o'er-sways the order,
She should in ground unsanctified have lodg'd
Till the last trumpet; for charitable prayers,

Shards, flints, and pebbles, should be thrown on her;
Yet here she is allow'd her virgin rites,

Her maiden strewments, and the bringing home
Of bell, and burial.

Let it be so, and let Andronicus

Make this his latest farewell to their souls.
In peace and honour rest you here, my sons;
Rome's readiest champions, repose you here,
Secure from worldly chances and mishaps.

TEARS.

Though fond nature bids us all lament,
Yet nature's tears are reason's merriment
But yet

It is our trick; nature her custom holds,
Let shame say what it will.

H v.1.

Tit. And. i. 2

R. J. iv. 5

Comfort, dear mother; God is much displeas'd,
That you take with unthankfulness his doing;
In common worldly things, 'tis call'd-ungrateful,
With dull unwillingness to repay a debt,

H. iv. 7

Which with a bounteous hand was kindly lent. R. III. ii. 2

FURY.

O, I warrant, how he mammock'd it!

Let me speak; and let me rail so high,

That the false housewife, Fortune, break her wheel,

Provok'd by my offence.

I understand a fury in your words,

But not the words.

FUTURITY.

O that a man might know

The end of this day's business, ere it come!

GAIETY.

See, where she comes, apparell'd like the spring. P. P. i. 1.
Flora, peering in April's front.

GALLANTS.

Trim gallants, full of courtship and of state.
Travell'd gallants

W. T. iv. 3.

That fill the court with quarrels, talk, and tailors.

GENTLEMAN.

I'll be sworn thou art;

L. L. v. 2.

H. VIII. i. 3.

Thy tongue, thy face, thy limbs, actions, and spirit,
Do give thee five-fold blazon.

Envy the great, nor do the low despise.

GHOST (See also APPARITIONS, SPIRITS, TERROR, GUILT).
For it is, as the air, invulnerable,

And our vain blows malicious mockery.

H. i. 1.

Angels, and ministers of grace, defend us!

Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damn’d,

Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell,
Be thy intents wicked or charitable,

That I will speak to thee.

Thou com'st in such a questionable shape,

But, soft: behold! lo where it comes again!

H. i. 4.

I'll cross it, though it blast me.-Stay, illusion!
If thou hast any sound, or use a voice,

Speak to me.

H. i. 1.

What may this mean,

That thou, dead corse, again, in complete steel,
Revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon,

Making night hideous; and we, fools of nature,
So horridly to shake our disposition,

GHOST,-continued.

With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
Say, why is this?

H. i. 4.

My hour is almost come,

When I to sulphurous and tormenting flames

Must render up myself.

H. i. 5.

O, answer me:

Why thy canoniz'd bones, hears'd in death,

Let me not burst in ignorance! but tell,

Have burst their cerements! why the sepulchre,

Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd

Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws,

To cast thee up again.

H. i. 4.

Why, what care I? If thou canst nod, speak too,

If charnel-houses, and our graves, must send

Those that we bury, back, our monuments

Shall be the maws of kites.

M. iii. 4.

The ghost of Cæsar hath appear'd to me

Two several times by night: at Sardis, once;
And, this last night, here in Philippi fields.
I know, my hour is come.

Most precious, when the giver we esteem.

Poems.

Win her with gifts, if she respect not words;
Dumb jewels often, in their silent kind,

More quick than words, do move a woman's mind.

T.G. iii. 1.

She prizes not such trifles as these are:

The gifts, she looks from me, are pack'd and lock'd
Up in my heart; which I have given already,

But not deliver'd.

R. J. i. 5.

When good manners shall lie all in one or hands, and they unwash'd too, 'tis a foul thing. GOODNESS TO BE ALWAYS PREFERRED. Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. M. iv. 3. GOOD THINGS.

Well, I cannot last for ever: But it was always yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing, to make it too common. If you will needs say I am an old man, you should give me rest. I would to God my name were not so terrible to the enemy as it is. I were better to be eaten to death with rust, than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion. H. IV. PT. II. i. 2.

GOOD WOMEN.

One in ten, quoth a'! an we might have a good woman born but every blazing star, or at an earthquake, 'twould mend the lottery well: a man may draw his heart out ere he pluck one.

Make rich the ribs, but bank'rout quite the wits. L. L. i. 1.

As thou has done with me:
And sleep, and snore, and rend apparel out.

M.V. ii. 5.
