Macb.

What is the night?

L. Macb. Almost at odds with morning, which is which.

Macbeth.

I am in blood

Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

My little spirit, see,

Sits in a foggy cloud, and stays for me.

Act iii. Sc. 4.

Ibid.

Sc. 5.

[blocks in formation]

How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags!

Ibid.

[blocks in formation]

What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?

[blocks in formation]

1 Let the air strike our tune,

Whilst we show reverence to yond peeping moon.

MIDDLETON: The Witch, act v. sc. 2.

Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell.

Macbeth. Act iv. Sc. 3.

Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell,

Uproar the universal peace, confound

All unity on earth.

Ibid.

Stands Scotland where it did?

Ibid.

Give sorrow words: the grief that does not speak
Whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break.

Ibid.

What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
At one fell swoop?

Ibid.

I cannot but remember such things were,

That were most precious to me.

Ibid.

Oh, I could play the woman with mine eyes
And braggart with my tongue.

Ibid.

The night is long that never finds the day.

Ibid.

Out, damned spot! out, I say!

Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard?

Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?

Ibid.

All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand.

Ibid.

Act v. Sc. 1.

Ibid.

Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane,

I cannot taint with fear.

My way of life

Is fall'n into the sere, the yellow leaf;
And that which should accompany old age,
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have; but in their stead
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath,
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not.

Sc. 3.

Doct.

Not so sick, my lord,

As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies,
That keep her from her rest.

Macb.
Cure her of that.
Canst thou not minister to a mind diseas'd,
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?

Doct.

Must minister to himself.

Therein the patient

Macb. Throw physic to the dogs: I'll none of it.

I would applaud thee to the very echo,
That should applaud again.

Macbeth. Act v. Sc. 3.

Hang out our banners on the outward walls;

The cry is still, "They come !" our castle's strength
Will laugh a siege to scorn.

My fell of hair

Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir

Ibid.

Sc. 5.

As life were in 't: I have supp'd full with horrors.

Ibid.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Ibid.

I pull in resolution, and begin

To doubt the equivocation of the fiend

That lies like truth: "Fear not, till Birnam wood

Do come to Dunsinane."

Ibid.

I gin to be aweary of the sun.

Macbeth. Act v. Sc. 5.

Blow, wind! come, wrack!

At least we 'll die with harness on our back.

Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death.

I bear a charmed life.

And be these juggling fiends no more believ'd,
That palter with us in a double sense:
That keep the word of promise to our ear
And break it to our hope.

Live to be the show and gaze o' the time.

Lay on, Macduff,

Ibid.

Sc. 6.

Sc. 8.1

Ibid.1

Ibid.1

And damn'd be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"

For this relief much thanks: 't is bitter cold,
And I am sick at heart.

Ibid.1

Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 1.

But in the gross and scope of my opinion,
This bodes some strange eruption to our state.

Whose sore task

Does not divide the Sunday from the week.

This sweaty haste

Ibid.

Ibid.

Doth make the night joint-labourer with the day.

Ibid.

In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,

The graves stood tenantless, and the sheeted dead
Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.

Ibid.

And then it started like a guilty thing

Upon a fearful summons.

Ibid.

Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,

The extravagant and erring spirit hies

To his confine.

Ibid.

1 Act v. Sc. 7 in Singer and White.

It faded on the crowing of the cock.

Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long:
And then, they say, no spirit dares stir1 abroad;
The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.

Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 1.

So have I heard, and do in part believe it.
But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,
Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill.2
The memory be green.

3

With an auspicious and a dropping eye,
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage,
In equal scale weighing delight and dole.

Ibid.

Sc. 2.

Ibid.

The head is not more native to the heart.

Ibid.

A little more than kin, and less than kind.

Ibid.

All that lives must die,

Passing through nature to eternity.

Ibid.

Seems, madam! nay, it is; I know not "seems." 'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,

Nor customary suits of solemn black.

Ibid.

But I have that within which passeth show;
These but the trappings and the suits of woe.

Ibid.

"Tis a fault to Heaven,

A fault against the dead, a fault to nature,

To reason most absurd.

Ibid.

Oh, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!

Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd

1 "Can walk" in White.

2 "Eastern hill" in Dyce, Singer, Staunton, and White.

8 "One auspicious and one dropping eye" in Dyce, Singer, and Staunton.
