INNOCENCE,-continued.

If powers divine

Behold our human actions, (as they do)
I doubt not then, but innocence shall make
False accusation blush, and tyranny
Tremble at patience.

ITSELF, NOT EXEMPT FROM MISFORTUNE.
Some innocents 'scape not the thunderbolt.

INNOVATION.

Thus we debase

W. T. iii. 2.

A. C. ii. 5.

The nature of our seats, and make the rabble

Call our cares, fears; which will in time break ope
The locks o' th' senate, and bring in the crows
To peck the eagles.

INSANITY.

We are not ourselves, when nature, being oppress'd,
Commands the mind to suffer with the body.

INSECURITY.

C. iii. 1.

K. L. ii. 4

We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it;

She'll close, and be herself; whilst our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former tooth.

M. iii. 2.

I am cabin'd, cribb'd, confin'd, bound in

To saucy doubts and fears.

M. iii, 4.

INSINUATION.

Thou cried'st, Indeed?

And didst contract and purse thy brow together,
As if thou had'st then shut up in thy brain
Some horrible conceit.

INTEMPERANCE.

Boundless intemperance

In nature is a tyranny; it hath been

The untimely emptying of the happy throne,
And fall of many kings.

INTENTIONS, GOOD, DEFEATED.

We are not the first,

Who, with best meaning, have incurr'd the worst

M. iv. 3.

K. L. v. 3.

That perish'd by the way: thoughts are no subjects;
Intents but merely thoughts.

Between the acting of a dreadful thing

And the first motion, all the interim is

Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream:
The genius, and the mortal instruments,

Are then in council; and the state of man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.

INTERRUPTION, VIOLENT.

And, like the tyrannous breathing of the north,
Shakes all our buds from growing.

INTRUDER.

M. M. v. 1.

J.C. ii. 1.

Cym. i. 4.

What! dares the slave

R. J. i. 5.

Come hither, cover'd with an antic face,
To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?

INVASION.

There comes a power

Into this scatter'd kingdom; who already,
Wise in our negligence, have secret feet
In some of our best ports, and are at point
To show their open banner.

Shall we, upon the footing of our land,
Send fair-play orders, and make compromise,
Insinuation, parley, and base truce,
To arms invasive? shall a beardless boy,
A cocker'd silken wanton brave our fields,
And flesh his spirit in a warlike soil,
Mocking the air with colours idly spread,
And find no check?

INVITATION.

K.L. iii. 1.

K. J. v. 1.

If your love do not persuade you to come, let not my letter.

M. V. iii. 2.

INVOCATION.

JOY.

My father's wit, and my mother's tongue, assist me!

LOYAL.

God, and his angels, guard your sacred throne,
And make you long become it!

POET'S

O, for a muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention!

SOLDIER'S.

H.V. i. chorus.

St. George, that swing'd the dragon, and e'er since,
Sits on his horseback at mine hostess' door,
Teach us some fence!

K. J. ii. 1.

Take my cap, Jupiter, and I thank thee:-Hoo! Marcius is coming home!

Why, hark you ;

The trumpets, sackbuts, psalteries, and fifes,

Tabors, and cymbals, and the shouting Romans,

C. ii. 1

Make the sun dance.

But that I see thee here,

C. v. 4

Thou roble thing! more dances my rapt heart
Than when I first my wedded mistress saw
Bestride my threshold.

C. iv. 5.

There appears much joy in him; even so much that joy could not show itself modest enough, without a badge of bitterness. *** A kind overflow of kindness: There are no faces truer than those that are so washed. How much better is it to weep at joy, than to joy at weeping!

IRRESOLUTION (See also HESITATION).

Our doubts are traitors,

And make us lose the good we oft might win,

By fearing to attempt.

That we would do,

M. A. i. 1.

M. M. i. 5.

We should do when we would; for this would changes,
And hath abatements and delays as many,

As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents;
And then this should is like a spendthrift's sigh,
That hurts by easing.

IRREVERENCE.

Quaff'd off the muscadel, and threw the sops all in the sexton's face. T. S. iii. 2.

IRRITABILITY (See also QUARREL).

Come, come, thou art as hot a Jack in thy mood as any in

Italy.

Being incens'd, he's flint;

As humorous as winter, and as sudden
As flaws congealed in the spring of day.
His temper therefore must be well observ'd:
Chide him for faults, and do it reverently,
When you perceive his blood inclin'd to mirth;
But, being moody, give him line and scope,
Till that his passions, like a whale on ground,
Confound themselves with working.

R. J. iii. 1.

H. IV. PT. II. iv. 4.

A very little thief of occasion will rob you of a great deal of patience.

JUDGES, DILATORY.

C. ii. 1.

You dismiss the controversy bleeding, the more entangled by your hearing.

JUDGMENT, JUSTICE.

I stand for judgment: answer; shall I have it?
Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all. H. VI.
A Daniel come to judgment! yea, a Daniel!
To offend and judge, are distinct offices,
And of opposed natures.

O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason.

The urging of that word judgment hath bred remorse in me.

JUDGMENT, JUSTICE,-continued.

4 P

Thyself shalt see the act:
For, as thou urgest justice, be assur'd,
Thou shalt have justice, more than thou desir'st.

M. V. iv. 1.

H. iv. 5.

And where the offence is, let the great axe fall.
Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks:

Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw doth pierce it. K. L. iv. 6.

In the corrupted currents of this world,

Offence's gilded hand may shove by justice;
And oft 'tis seen, the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law: But 'tis not so above:
There is no shuffling, there the action lies

In his true nature; and we ourselves compell'd,
Even to the teeth and forehead of our faults,
To give in evidence.

I do believe,

Induc'd by potent circumstances, that

You are mine enemy; and make my challenge,
You shall not be my judge.

H. iii. 3.

H. VIII. ii. 4.

If I shall be condemn'd

Upon surmises; all proofs sleeping else,
But what your jealousies await; I tell you,
'Tis rigour, and not law.

Impartial are our eyes, and ears:
Were he my brother, nay, my kingdom's heir,
Now by my sceptre's awe I make a vow,
Such neighbour nearness to our sacred blood
Should nothing privilege him, nor partialize
The unstooping firmness of my upright soul.
He shall have merely justice, and his bond.

KENT.

Kent, in the commentaries Cæsar writ,
Is term'd the civil'st place of all this isle:
Sweet in the country, because full of riches;
The people liberal, valiant, active, wealthy.
