FRIEND,-continued.

And wheresoe'er we went, like Juno's swans
Still we went coupled and inseparable.

[blocks in formation]

Pay him six thousand, and deface the bond,

Double six thousand, and then treble that,
Before a friend of this description

A. Y. i. 3.

M. N. iii. 2.

Shall lose a hair through my Bassanio's fault.

M.V. iii. 2.

The amity that wisdom knits not, folly may easily untie.

T. C. ii. 3.

I should fear those, who dance before me now,
Would one day stamp upon me: It has been done;
Men shut their doors against a setting sun.

Every man will be thy friend

While thou hast wherewithal to spend ;
But if store of crowns be scant,

No man will supply thy want.

There are no tricks in plain and simple faith;
But hollow men, like horses hot at hand,
Make gallant show and promise of their mettle;
But when they should endure the bloody spur,
They fall their crests, and, like deceitful jades,
Sink in the trial.

Is all the counsel that we two have shar'd,
The sisters' vows, the hours that we have spent,
When we have chid the hasty-footed time
For parting us,-O, is all now forgot?
All school-days' friendship, childhood innocence?

T. A. i. 2.

Poems.

J. C. iv. 2.

M. N. iii. 2.

The great man down, you mark his favourite flies,
The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend;
For who not needs, shall never lack a friend;
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him an enemy.

Friendship's full of dregs.

Canst thou the conscience lack,

To think I shall lack friends? Secure thy heart;
If I could broach the vessels of my love,

And try the argument of hearts by borrowing,
Men, and men's fortunes, could I frankly use,
As I can bid thee speak.

H. iii. 2.

T. A. i. 2.

T. A. ii. 2.

FRIEND,—continued.

Thou dost conspire against thy friend, Iago,

If thou but think'st him wrong'd, and mak'st his ear
A stranger to thy thoughts.

O let me twine

Here I clip

Mine arms about that body, where against
My grained ash an hundred times hath broke,
And scar'd the moon with splinters!
The anvil of my sword; and do contest
As hotly and as nobly with thy love,
As ever in ambitious strength I did
Contend against thy valour.

Friendship is constant in all other things,
Save in the office and affairs of love.

By heaven, I cannot flatter! I defy
The tongues of soothers; but a braver place
In my heart's love, hath no man than yourself;
Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord.

O. iii. 3

C. iv. 5.

M. A. ii. 1.

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

Brutus hath riv'd my heart:

A friend should bear his friend's infirmities,

But Brutus makes mine greater than they are. J. C. iv. 3.

Give him all kindness: I had rather have
Such men my friends, than enemies.

That we have been familiar,

Ingrate forgetfulness shall poison, rather

Than pity note how much.

Now do I play the touch,

To try if thou be current gold indeed.

- COOLING.

I have not from your eyes that gentleness,
And show of love, as I was wont to have:

You bear too stubborn, and too strange a hand,
Over your friend that loves you.

Thou hast describ'd

A hot friend cooling: Ever note, Lucilius,

When love begins to sicken and decay,

It useth an enforced ceremony.

Mere fetches:

The images of revolt and flying off.

FRIENDSHIP ASSIMILATES FRIENDS.

For in companions

That do converse and waste the time together,
Whose souls do bear an equal yoke of love,

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. I. 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.

[blocks in formation]

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.

T. N. i. 4.

A gentleman born, master parson, who writes himself armigero; on any bill, warrant, quittance, or obligation, armigero.

GENTLEMEN.

We are gentlemen,

That neither in our hearts, nor outward eyes,

Envy the great, nor do the low despise.

GEOGRAPHY.

M. W. i. 1.

P. P. ii. 3.

Peering in maps for ports, and piers, and roads. M. V. i. 1.

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

And our vain blows malicious mockery.

Angels, and ministers of grace, defend us!

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

H. i. 1.

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?"

My hour is almost come,

When I to sulphurous and tormenting flames

H. i. 4.

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.

J.C. v. 5.

GIFTS (See also LOVE TOKENS).

Well, God give them wisdom that have it: and those that are fools, let them use their talents.

A giving hand, though foul, shall have fair praise.

Gifts then seem

Most precious, when the giver we esteem.

T. N. i. 5.

L. L. iv. 1.

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.

W.T. iv. 3.

Seven hundred pounds, and possibilities, is good gifts.

M. W. i. 1.

I am not in the giving vein to day.

R. III. iv. 2.

GLORY.

Glory is like a circle in the water,

Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,

"Till, by broad spreading, it disperse to nought.

H.VI. PT. I. i. 2.
