Court'sied when you have and kiss'd, — The wild waves whist, Foot it featly here and there; And, sweet sprites, the burden bear. -- The strain of strutting chanticleer Ariel. Full fathom five thy father lies; Pros. Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell :-Act 1, Sc. 2. And, but he's something stain'd With grief, that beauty's canker, thou mightst call him Seb. He receives comfort like cold porridge.-Act 2, Sc. 1. Ant. If but one of his pockets could speak, would it not say he lies?-Act 2, Sc. I. Seb. I think he will carry this island home in his pocket, and give it to his son for an apple, Ant. And sowing the kernels of it in the sea, bring forth more islands.--Act 2, Sc. I. Fran. Sir, he may live; I saw him beat the surges under him, And ride upon their backs; he trod the water, The surge most swoln that met him; his bold head To the shore, that o'er his wave-worn basis bow'd, He came alive to land. Act 2, Sc. I. Gon. The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness, When you should bring the plaster. Act 2, Sc. I. Seb. This is a strange repose, to be asleep Act 2, Sc. I. Seb. Thou dost snore distinctly; Act 2, Sc. I. Ant. For all the rest, They'll take suggestion as a cat laps milk; Act 2, Sc. I. Trin. What have we here? a man or a fish? dead or alive? A fish: he smells like a fish: a very ancient and fish-like smell; a kind of, not of the newest, poor-John. A strange fish! Were I in England now, (as once I was,) and had but this fish painted, not a holiday fool there but would give a piece of silver: there would this monster make a man; any strange beast there makes a man: when they will not give a doit to relieve a lame beggar, they will lay out ten to see a dead Indian.—Act 2, Sc. 2. Trin. Misery acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows. Fer. There be some sports are painful, and their labour Delight in them sets off: some kinds of baseness Fer. Are nobly undergone; and most poor matters For several virtues Have I lik'd several women; never any Step. Flout 'em and scout 'em ; And scout 'em and flout 'em ; Step. He that dies pays all debts :-Act 3, Sc. 2. Alon. The thunder, That deep and dreadful organ pipe, -Act 3, Sc. 3. Juno. Honour, riches, marriage—blessing, Ceres. Earth's increase, foison plenty, Pros. Barns and garners never empty; Vines, with clust'ring branches growing; Ceres' blessing so is on you.-Act 4, Sc. I. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, Ariel. Where the bee sucks there suck I; There I couch when owls do cry. On the bat's back I do fly After summer merrily, Merrily, merrily shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. Act 5, Sc. I. Pros. Let us not burden our remembrances with Gon. I prophesied, if a gallows were on land, * This passage probably owes its origin to the following lines in Lord Sterling's "Tragedie of Darius," 1604: "Those golden pallaces, those gorgeous halles, With fourniture superfluouslie faire : Those statelie courts, those sky encountring walles, Evanish all like vapours in the aire." THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA. Val. Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits. Act 1, Sc. I. Val. To be in love, where scorn is bought with groans; Coy looks with heart-sore sighs; one fading moment's mirth, With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights: If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain; If lost, why then a grievous labour won; Or else a wit by folly vanquished.—Act 1, Sc. I. Pro. Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud Val. And writers say, as the most forward bud Luc. Even so by love the young and tender wit Losing his verdure even in the prime, And all the fair effects of future hopes.-Act I, Sc. I. Julia. Your reason? Of many good I think him best. Luc. I have no other but a woman's reason; I think him so,-because I think him so.-Act 1, Sc. 2. Julia. His little speaking shows his love but small. Act 1, Sc. 2. |
