REBELLION,-continued.

O pity, God, this miserable age !—
What stratagems, how fell, how butcherly,
Erroneous, mutinous, and unnatural,
This deadly quarrel daily doth beget.

But now the Bishop

Turns insurrection to religion:

H.VI. PT. II. ii. 5.

Suppos'd sincere and holy in his thoughts,

He's follow'd both with body and with mind. H. IV. PT. I. i. 1.

What rein can hold licentious wickedness,

When down the hill he holds his fierce career?

We may as bootless spend our vain command
Upon th' enraged soldiers in their spoil,

As send precepts to the Leviathan

To come ashore.

You, lord Archbishop,

Whose see is by a civil peace maintain'd;

H.V. iii. 3.

Whose beard the silver hand of peace hath touch'd;
Whose learning and good letters peace hath tutor'd;
Whose white investments figure innocence,
The dove and very blessed spirit of peace,-
Wherefore do you so ill translate yourself,
Out of the speech of peace, that bears such grace,
Into the harsh and boist'rous tongue of war?
Turning your books to graves, your ink to blood,
Your pens to lances: and your tongue divine
To a loud trumpet, and a point of war? H. IV. PT. II. iv. 1.
The rebels are in Southwark; Fly, my lord!
Jack Cade proclaims himself Lord Mortimer,
Descended from the Duke of Clarence' house,
And calls your grace usurper, openly,
And vows to crown himself in Westminster.
His army is a ragged multitude

Of hinds and peasants, rude and merciless:
Sir Humphrey Stafford, and his brothers' death,
Hath given them heart and courage to proceed:
All scholars, lawyers, courtiers, gentlemen,

They call-false caterpillars, and intend their death.

H.VI. PT. 11. iv. 4.

Noble English, you are bought and sold;

Unthread the rude eye of rebellion,
And welcome home again discarded faith.

All the regions

Do smilingly revolt; and, who resist,
Are only mock'd for valiant ignorance,
And perish constant fools.

K. J. v. 4.

C. iv. 6.

REBELLION,-continued.

My lord, your son had only but the corps,
But shadows, and the shows of men, to fight:
For that same word, rebellion, did divide
The action of their bodies from their souls;
And they did fight with queasiness, constrain'd
As men drink potions; that their weapons only
Seem'd on our side, but for their spirits and souls,
This word, rebellion, it had froze them up,
As fish are in a pond.

Suffer it, and live with such as cannot rule,
Nor ever will be rul'd.

H. IV. PT. II. i. 1.

Wherefore do I this? so the question stands.
Briefly to this end:-We are all diseas'd;
And with our surfeiting, and wanton hours,
Have brought ourselves into a burning fever,
And we must bleed for it: of which disease,
Our late king, Richard, being infected, died.

You may as well

C. iii. 1.

H. IV. PT. II. iv. 1.

Strike at the heaven with your staves, as lift them
Against the Roman state; whose course will on
The way it takes, cracking ten thousand curbs
Of more strong link asunder, than can ever
Appear in your impediment."

No kind of traffic

Would I admit; no name of magistrate;
Letters should not be known: riches, poverty,
And use of service, none; contract, succession,
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none.

Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord,
That would reduce these bloody days again,
And make poor England weep in streams of blood.

RECITATION (See also SPEECH).

C. i. 1.

T. ii. 1.

R. III. v. 4.

'Fore God, my lord, well spoken; with good accent, and good discretion.

H. ii. 2.

We'll have a speech straight: Come, give us a taste of your quality; come, a passionate speech.

RECKONING.

H. ii. 2.

I am ill at reckoning, it fitteth the spirit of a tapster.

L. L. i. 2.

O Lord, Sir, it were a pity you should get your living by reckoning, Sir.

L. L. v. 2.

RECOGNITION.

Most reverend signior, do you know my voice?

Long is it since I saw him,

But time hath nothing blurr'd those lines of favour,

Which then he wore.

0. i. 1.

Cym. iv. 2.

Can virtue hide itself? Go to, mum, you are he; graces will appear, and there's an end.

RECOLLECTION, PAINFUL.

O, it comes o'er my memory,

As doth the raven o'er the infected house,
Boding to all.

RECOMPENCE.

Praise us as we are tasted, allow us as we prove.

RECOVERY.

This feather stirs; she lives! if it be so,
It is a chance that does redeem all sorrows
That ever I have felt.

RECREATION.

Sweet recreation barr'd, what doth ensue,
But moody and dull melancholy.
(Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair,)
And, at her heels, a huge infectious troop
Of pale distemperatures, and foes to life?
In food, in sport, and life-preserving rest
To be disturb'd, would mad or man, or beast.

RECREANT SLAVE.

Yet I am thankful: if my heart were great,
'Twould burst at this: Captain, I'll be no more;
But I will eat and drink, and sleep as soft
As captain shall: simply the thing I am

M. A. ii. 1.

O. iv. 1.

T. C. iii. 2.

K. L. v. 3.

C. E. v. 1.

Shall make me live. Who knows himself a braggart,
Let him fear this; for it will come to pass,

That every braggart shall be found an ass:

Rust, sword! cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live!

Safest in shame! being fool'd, by foolery thrive !

There's place, and means, for every man alive. A. W. iv. 3. RECRUIT.

In very truth, Sir, I had as lief be hanged, Sir, as go; and yet, for mine own part, Sir, I do not care; but rather, because I am unwilling, and, for mine own part, I have a desire to stay with my friends; else, Sir, I did not care, for mine own part, so much. H. IV. PT. II. iii. 4.

REFINEMENT.

By the lord, Horatio, these three years I have taken notice of it; the age is grown so picked, that the toe of the peasant comes so near the heel of the courtier, that he galls his kibe.

H. v. 1.

I will be proud, I will read politic authors, I will baffle Sir Toby, I will wash off gross acquaintance, I will be point-device, the very man.

REFORM.

T. N. ii. 5.

God amend us, God amend! we are much out o' the way.

Consideration like an angel came,

And whipp'd the offending Adam out of him

Leaving his body as

paradise,

To envelop and contain celestial spirits.

The shame itself doth speak

For instant remedy.

My reformation, glittering o'er my fault,
Shall show more goodly, and attract more eyes,
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.

L. L. iv. 3.

H.V. i. 1.

K. L. i. 4.

H. IV. PT. I. i. 2.
I tell thee, Jack Cade, the clothier, means to dress the
commonwealth, and turn it, and set a new nap upon it.
H. VI. PT. II. iv. 2.

I must give over this life, and I will give it over; by the
Lord, an I do not, I am a villain.
H. IV. PT. 1. i. 2.

REGAL CEREMONIES (See also CEREMONY).

This gentle and unforc'd accord of Hamlet
Sits smiling to my heart; in grace whereof,
No jocound health, that Denmark drinks to-day,
But the great cannon to the clouds shall tell;
And the king's rouse the heaven shall bruit again,
Respeaking earthly thunder.

As he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out,
The triumph of his pledge.

H. i. 2.

H. i. 4.

There roar'd the sea, and trumpet-clangour sounds.
H. IV. PT. II. v. 5.

The king shall drink to Hamlet's better breath;
And in the cup an union shall he throw

Richer than that which four successive kings

In Denmark's crown have worn ;-Give me the cups;
And let the kettle to the trumpet speak,

The trumpet to the cannoneer without,

REGAL CEREMONIES,-continued.

The cannons to the heavens, the heavens to earth,
Now the king drinks to Hamlet.

A garish flag,

To be the aim of every dangerous shot:
A sign of dignity, a breath, a bubble.
The flattering index of a direful pageant,
One heav'd a high, to be hurl'd down below.

ILL-TIMED.

In this, the antique and well noted face
Of plain old form is much disfigured:
And, like a shifted wind unto a sail,

It makes the course of thought to fetch about:
Startles and frights consideration;

Makes sound opinion sick, and truth suspected,
For putting on so new a fashion'd robe.

REGARD.

Those that I reverence, those I fear; the wise:
At fools I laugh, not fear them.

H. v. 5.

R. III. iv. 4.

Cym. iv. 2.

Why, he is so made on here within, as if he were son and heir to Mars: set at upper end o' the table: no questions asked him by any of the senators, but they stand bald before him. C. iv. 5. Our general himself makes a mistress of him; sanctifies himself with 's hand, and turns up the white o' the eye to his discourse.

DEVOTIONAL.

I hold you as a thing enskied, and sainted;

C. iv. 5.

an immortal spirit;

M. M. i. 5.

And to be talk'd with in sincerity

As with a saint.

REGICIDE.

To do this deed,

Promotion follows: If I could find example

Of thousands, that had struck anointed kings,
And flourish'd after, I'd not do't: but since

Nor brass, nor stone, nor parchment, bears not one,
Let villainy itself forswear't.

Both have I spilt; 0, would the deed were good!
For now the devil, that told me,-I did well,
Says, that this deed is chronicled in hell.

R. II. v. 6.

If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly: If the assassination
