FAME,-continued.

If a man do not erect, in this age, his own tomb ere he dies, he shall live no longer in monument, than the bell rings, and the widow weeps. *** An hour in clamour, and a quarter in rheum.

M. A. v. 2.

I would give all my fame for a pot of ale, and safety.

FANCY.

So full of shapes is fancy,

That it alone is high-fantastical.

H.V. iii. 2.

T. N. i. 1.

An old hat, and the humour of forty fancies stuck in it

[blocks in formation]

She knew her distance, and did angle for me,

Madding my eagerness with her restraint,

As all impediments in fancy's course

Are motives of more fancy.

A. W. v. 3.

We must every one be a man of his own fancy.

A. W. iv. 1.

In maiden meditation, fancy-free.

M. N. ii. 2.

FASHION.

See'st thou not, I say, what a deformed thief this fashion is? how giddily he turns about all the hot bloods between fourteen and five-and-thirty? M. A. iii. 3.

Eat, speak, and move, under the influence of the most received star; and though the devil lead the measure, such are to be followed.

A. W. ii. 1.

I see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the

man.

New customs,

Though they be never so ridiculous,
Nay, let them be unmanly, yet are follow'd.

These remnants

Of fool and feather, that they got in France,
With all their honourable points of ignorance
Pertaining thereunto.

M. A. iii. 3.

H.VIII. i. 3.

H.VIII. i. 3.

FASHION,-continued.

Death! my lord,

Their clothes are after such a pagan cut too.

Still, wars and letchery; nothing else holds burning devil take them!

FATE.

H. VIII. i. 3.

fashion: a T.C. v. 2.

O heavens! that one might read the book of fate;
And see the revolutions of the times

Make mountains level, and the continent

(Weary of solid firmness) melt itself
Into the sea! and, other times, to see

The beachy girdle of the ocean

Too wide for Neptune's hips: how chances mock,
And changes fill, the cup of alteration,

With divers liquors!

H. IV. PT. II. iii. 1.

What fates impose, that men must needs abide,
It boots not to resist both wind and tide.

of a sparrow.

H. IV. PT. III. iv. 3.

We defy augury; there is a special providence in the fall If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come : the readiness is all.

H. v. 2.

But, O vain boast!

Who can controul his fate?

0. v. 2.

Well, heaven forgive him, and forgive us all!
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall:
Some run from brakes of vice and answer none;
And some condemned for one fault alone.

M. M. ii. 1.

If thou read this, O Cæsar, thou may'st live;
If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.
Men, at some times, are masters of their fates.

J.C. ii. 3.

J.C. i. 2.

But, orderly to end where I begun,

Our wills and fates do so contrary run,
That our devices still are overthrown;

Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.

[blocks in formation]

FAVOUR.

For taking one's part that's out of favour: Nay, an thou canst not smile as the wind sits, thoul't catch cold shortly.

O, who shall believe,

But you misuse the reverence of your place;
Employ the countenance and grace of heaven,
As a false favourite does his prince's name
In deeds dishonourable.

Sickness is catching: O, were favour so!
I'll set thee in a shower of gold, and hail
Rich pearls upon thee.

FAVOURITES, PRESUMPTION OF.

Where honeysuckles, ripen'd by the sun,
Forbid the sun to enter;-like favourites,

K. L. i. 4.

H. IV. PT. II. iv. 2.

Made proud by princes, that advance their pride
Against that power that bred it.

FAULT.

M. N. i. 1.

A. C. ii. 5.

M. A. iii. 1.

I need not be barren of accusations; he hath faults, with surplus, to tire in repetition.

Time shall unfold what plaited cunning hides;
Who cover faults, at last shame them derides.

You shall find there

A man, who is the abstract of all faults
That all men follow.

Condemn the fault, and not the actor of it!
Why every fault's condemn'd ere it be done:
Mine were the very cipher of a function,

To find the faults whose fine stands in record,
And let go by the actor.

There's something in me that reproves my fault;
But such a headstrong potent fault it is,
That it but mocks reproof.

C. i. 1.

K. L. i. 1.

A. C. i. 4.

M. M. ii. 2.

T. N. iii. 4.

There were none principal; they were all like one another, as halfpence are; every one fault seeming monstrous, till his fellow fault came to match it. A. Y. iii. 2. His worst fault is, he's given to prayer; he is something peevish that way; but nobody but has his fault:-but let that pass. M. W. i. 4.

I will not open my mouth so wide as a bristle may enter, in way of thy excuse. T. N. i. 5.

FAWNING.

Tut, Tut!

Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle ;

FAWNING,-continued.

I am no traitor's uncle ;-and that word grace,
In an ungracious mouth, is but profane.

FEAR.

Fears makes devils of cherubims.

R. II. ii. 3.

T.C. iii. 2.

Of all base passions, fear is most accurs'd.

H.VI. PT. I. V. 2.

His flight was madness: When our actions do not,
Our fears do, make us traitors.

Those linen cheeks of thine

M. iv. 2.

[blocks in formation]

If Cæsar hide himself, shall they not whisper,
Lo, Cæsar is afraid?

J.C. ii. 2

In time we hate that which we often fear.

A. C. i. 3.

This is the very painting of your fear.

O, these flaws and starts,

(Impostors to true fear) would well become
A woman's story at a winter's fire.

You make me strange,

M. iii. 4.

M. iii. 4.

Even to the disposition that I owe,

When now I think you can behold such sights,

And keep the natural ruby of your cheeks,

While mine are blanch'd with fear.

M. iii. 4.

Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling, without fear.

T.C. iii. 2.

The devil damn thee black, thou cream-fac'd loon!
Where got'st thou that goose look ?

M. v. 3.

T.C. iii. 2.

O, let my lady apprehend no fear: in all Cupid's pageant there is presented no monster.

There is not such a word
Spoke of in Scotland, as this term of fear.

H.IV. PT. I. iv. 1.

The love of wicked friends converts to fear;
That fear, to hate; and hate turns one, or both,
To worthy danger, and deserved death.

Why, what should be the fear?

I do not set my life at a pin's fee;
And, for my soul, what can it do to that,
Being a thing immortal?

R. II. v. 1.

H. i. 4.

FEAR,-continued.

Let not the world see fear and sad distrust
Govern the motion of a kingly eye.

I am sick and capable of fears;

K. J. v. 1.

Oppress'd with wrongs, and therefore full of fears;
A widow, husbandless, subject to fears;
A woman, naturally born to fears.

I have almost forgot the very taste of fears:
The time has been my senses would have cool'd
To hear a night-shriek; and my fell of hair
Would, at a dismal treatise, rouse, and stir,
As life were in't: I have supp'd full of horrors;
Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts,
Cannot once start me.

[blocks in formation]

K. J. iii. 1.

M. v. 5.

O. i. 3.

Novelty is only in request; and it is dangerous to be aged in any kind of course, as it is virtuous to be constant in any undertaking. There is scarce truth enough alive to make societies secure; but security enough, to make fellowships accursed: much upon this riddle runs the wisdom of the world.

FICTIONS.

More strange than true. I never may believe
These antique fables, nor these fairy toys.

TRAGIC.

What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba,
That he should weep for her?

FIDELITY (See also CONSTANCY, Love).

I'll yet follow

M.M. iii. 2.

M. N. v. 1.

The wounded chance of Antony, though my reason
Sits in the wind against me.

H. ii. 2.

A. C. iii. 8.

Though all the world should crack their duty to you,
And throw it from their soul; though perils did
Abound, as thick as thought could make them, and
Appear in forms more horrid; yet my duty,
As doth a rock against the chiding flood,

Should the approach of this wild river break,
And stand unshaken yours.

Why look you so upon me?

I am but sorry, not afear'd; delay'd,

H.VIII. iii. 2.
