And make the babbling gossip of the air
Cry out.

Every wise man's son doth know.

My purpose is, indeed, a horse of that colour.

These most brisk and giddy-paced times.

Let still the woman take

An elder than herself: so wears she to him,

So

she level in her husband's heart:

For, boy, however we do praise ourselves,

More longing, wavering, sooner lost and worn,

Than women's are.

For the flowers now, that frighted thou let'st fall
From Dis's waggon! daffodils,

That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty; violets dim,
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes
Or Cytherea's breath; pale primroses,
That die unmarried, ere they can behold
Bright Phoebus in his strength, -a malady

King John. Act i. Sc. 1.

And if his name be George, I'll call him Peter;
For new-made honour doth forget men's names.
For he is but a bastard to the time
That doth not smack of observation.

Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it.

Shall tithe or toll in our dominions.

Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale
Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.

When Fortune means to men most good,
She looks upon them with a threatening eye.2
And he that stands upon a slippery place
Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up.

How now, foolish rheum!

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light

To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
