Unmanly Grief

IS slander

Tandedge is sharper than the

Whose

sword, whose tongue

Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath
Rides on the posting winds and doth belie
All corners of the world. Kings, queens and
states,

Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave
This viperous slander enters.

Cymbeline. Act III, Sc. 4.

POST-MORTEM

OME grief shows much of love,

SOME

T

But much of grief shows still some want of wit.

Romeo and Juliet. Act III, Sc. 5.

O persever

In obstinate condolement is a course
Of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief;
It shows a will most incorrect to heaven,
A heart unfortified, a mind impatient,
An understanding simple and unschool'd.

Hamlet. Act I, Sc. 2.

ODERATE lamentation is the the dead, excessive grief the enemy to the living.

All's Well That Ends Well. Act I, Sc. 1.

TH

HE evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their
bones.

HERE'S hope a great man's memory may outlive his life half a year; but by'r lady, he must build churches then, or else shall he suffer not thinking on.

Henry V. Act I, Sc. 1.

HERE is some soul of goodness in things evil,

Would men observingly distil it out;

For our bad neighbour makes us early stirrers,
Which is both healthful and good husbandry.
Besides, they are our outward consciences,
And preachers to us all, admonishing
That we should dress us fairly for our end.

Thus may we gather honey from the weed,
And make a moral of the devil himself.

I

King Henry V. Act IV, Sc. 1I.

WILL be flesh and blood;

For there was never yet philosopher That could endure the toothache patiently, However they have writ the style of gods. Much Ado About Nothing.

Act V, Sc. I.

WEET are the uses of adversity,

Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life exempt from public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running
brooks,

Sermons in stones and good in everything.
As You Like It. Act II, Sc. I.

AJEST'S prosperity lies in the ear

Of him that hears it, never in the

Romeo and Juliet. Act II, Sc. 2.

HE crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark
When neither is attended; and I think
The nightingale, if she should sing by day,
When every goose is cackling, would be
thought

No better a musician than the wren.
How many things by season season'd are
To their right praise and true perfection!

HERE is no slander in an allow'd fool, though he do nothing but rail; nor no railing in a known discreet man, though he do nothing but reprove.
