APOLOGIST.

I have laboured for the poor gentleman, to the extremest shore of my modesty.

APOLOGY.

M. M. iii. 2.

What, shall this speech he spoke for our excuse?
Or shall we on without apology.

APOPLEXY.

R. J. i. 4.

This apoplexy is, as I take it, a kind of lethargy, an't please your lordship; a kind of sleeping in the blood, a whoreson tingling. H. IV. PT. I. i. 2.

APOTHECARY.

I do remember an apothecary,—

And hereabouts he dwells,-whom late I noted
In tatter'd weeds, with overwhelming brows,
Culling of simples; meagre were his looks,
Sharp misery had worn him to the bones:
And in his needy shop a tortoise hung,
An alligator stuff'd, and other skins
Of ill-shap'd fishes; and about his shelves
A beggarly account of empty boxes,

Green earthen pots, bladders and musty seeds,
Remnants of packthread, and old cakes of roses,
Were thinly scatter'd to make up a show.
Noting this penury, to myself I said,—
An' if a man did need a poison now,
Whose sale is present death in Mantua.
Here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him.

APPARITION (See also GHOSTS, SPIRITS).

R. J. v. 1.

I have heard (but not believ'd) the spirits of the dead
May walk again: if such thing be, thy mother
Appear'd to me last night; for ne'er was dream
So like a waking.

APPEAL.

W. T. iii. 3.

And here I stand:-judge, my masters. H. IV. PT. 1. ii. 4.

APPELLATIONS OF JUVENILE ENDEARMENT.

Adoptedly; as school-maids change their names
By vain, though apt affection.

APPLAUSE, POPULAR (See also POPULARITY, MOB).
And there is such confusion in my powers,

As, after some oration fairly spoke

By a beloved prince, there doth

appear

Among the buzzing pleased multitude:
Where every something being blent together,
Turns to a wild of nothing.

M. M. i. 5.

M. V. iii. 2,

APPREHENSION.

Heaven! that I had thy head! he has found the meaning.

OF THE WORTHLESS.

Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile;
Filths savour but themselves.

APTITUDE.

Your spirits shine through you.

I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats;

If it be man's work, I will do it.

ARDOUR, MILITARY (See also War).

O let the hours be short,

P. P. i. Ï.

K. L. iv. 2.

M. iii. 1.

K. L. v. 3.

Till fields, and blows, and groans applaud our sport.

ARITHMETICIAN.

Forsooth, a great arithmetician.

ARMAMENT, SAILING.

H. IV. PT. I. i. 3.

Thus with imagin'd wing our swift scene flies,
In motion of no less celerity

Than that of thought. Suppose that you have seen
The well-appointed King at Hampton pier
Embark his royalty, and his brave fleet

With silken streamers the young Phoebus fanning.
Play with your fancies; and in them behold,
Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing:
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confus'd; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O do but think,
You stand upon the rivage, and behold

A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur.

ARMY (See also WAR).

0. i. 1.

H.V. ii. chorus.

A braver choice of dauntless spirits
Than now the English bottoms have waft o'er,
Did never float upon the swelling tide,
To do offence and scath in Christendom.
The interruption of their churlish drums
Cuts off more circumstance: they are at hand,
To parley, or to fight; therefore prepare.
England, impatient of your just demands,
Hath put himself in arms; the adverse winds,
Whose leisure I have staid, have given him time

K. J. ii. 1.

to 4 would speed so wæser under an arrest, I would send

ARREST,-continued.

for certain of my creditors: and yet, to say the truth, I had as lief have the foppery of freedom, as the morality of imprisonment.

ART AND NATURE.

M. M. i. 3.

Nature is made better by no mean,

But nature makes that mean; so, o'er that art
Which, you say, adds to nature, is an art

That nature makes.

This is an art

W.T. iv. 3.

Which does mend nature,―change it rather; but
The art itself is nature.

W.T. iv. 3.

ASSIMILATION.

The mightiest mace in fortune nature brings
To join like likes, and kiss ike native things.
ASTRONOMERS.

These earthly godfathers of heaven's lights,
That give a name to every ixed star.
Have no more profit of their shining nights

Than those that walk and wot not what they are.
Too much to know, is to know nought but mine,
And every godfather can give a name.

There lurks a still and dumb discoursive devil,
That tempts most cunningly.

Sticks deeper; grows with more pernicious root
