CROAKER. I would croak like a raven; I would bode, I would bode. CROWN, REGAL (See also KINGS). O polish'd perturbation! golden care! T.C. v. 2. H. IV. PT. II. iv. 4. A thousand flatteries sit within thy crown, How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown; R. II. ii. 1. And all that poets feign of bliss and joy. H. IV. PT. III. i. 2. By what by-paths, and indirect crook'd ways, I spake unto the crown as having sense, H. IV. PT. II. iv. 4 And thus upbraided it: The care on thee depending, Therefore thou, best of gold, art worst of gold; Preserving life in med'cine potable; But thou, most fine, most honour'd, most renown'd, Hast eat thy bearer up. Thus, my most royal liege, Accusing it, I put it on my head; To try with it, as with an enemy, That had before my face murder'd my father,— CRUELTY. H. IV. PT. II. iv. 4. O, be thou damn'd, inexorable dog! That souls of animals infuse themselves Govern'd a wolf; who, hang'd for human slaughter, M. V. iv. 1. CRUELTY,-continued. I am sorry for thee; thou art come to answer M. V. iv. 1. See, ruthless queen, a hapless father's tears; Yea, even my foes will shed fast-falling tears; And say,—Alas, it was a piteous deed! H. VI. Pt. 111. i. 4. Whose tongue more poisons than the adder's tooth! To triumph like an Amazonian trull, Upon their woes whom fortune captivates! H.VI. PT. II. i. 4. But neither bended knees, pure hands held up, CRUSADE. Therefore, friends, As far as to the sepulchre of Christ, (Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross Forthwith a power of English shall we levy; T. G. iii. 1. Whose arms were moulded in their mother's womb, Which fourteen hundred years ago, were nail'd, CUCKOLD. H. IV. PT. I. i. 1. Amaimon sounds well; Lucifer, well; Barbason, well; yet they are devils' additions, the names of fiends; but cuckold! wittol-cuckold! the devil himself hath not such M. W. ii. 2. a name. CUDGEL. I'll have the cudgel hallow'd and hung o'er the altar: it hath done meritorious service. M. W. iv. 2. CUPIDS. Some Cupids kill with arrows, some with traps. M. A. iii. 1. CURIOSITIES. I pray you, let us satisfy our eyes CURIOSITIES,—continued. With the memorials and the things of fame, CURRENTS, MARITIME. Like to the Pontic sea, Whose icy current, and compulsive course CURS. T. N. iii. 3. O. iii. 3. O'tis a foul thing, when a cur cannot keep himself in all companies! I would have, as one should say, one that taketh upon him to be a dog indeed, to be, as it were, a dog at all things. T.G. iv. 4. When a man's servant shall play the cur with him, look you, it goes hard: one that I brought up a puppy; one that I saved from drowning, when three or four of his blind brothers and sisters went to it! I have taught him-even as one would say precisely,-Thus I would teach a dog. CURSING. I would the gods had nothing else to do, CUSTOM (See also HABIT). T.G. iv. 4. C. iv. 2. Custom hath made it in him a property of easiness. Custom calls me to't: What custom wills in all things should we do't; Nice customs curt'sey to great kings. Assume a virtue if you have it not, That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat VILE. Though I am native here, And to the manner born,-it is a custom H. v. 1. More honour'd in the breach than the observance. H. i. 4. 72 DAGGERS. 1. I will speak daggers to her, but use none. DALLIANCE, UNSEASONABLE. No, when light-wing'd toys Of feather'd Cupid seel with wanton dullness That my disports corrupt and taint my business, And all indign and base adversities Make head against my estimation. A woman impudent and mannish grown Is not more loath'd than an effeminate man In time of action. I stand condemn'd for this; DANGER. There Monitaurs and ugly treason lurk. H. iii. 2. O. i. 3. T. C. iii. 3. H.VI. PT. I. v. 3. Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep. H.VI. PT. II. iii. 1. France, thou mayest hold a serpent by the tongue, A fasting tyger safer by the tooth Than keep in peace that hand which thou dost hold. K. J. iii. 1. "The purpose you undertake is dangerous :"-why, that's The welfare of us all If H.VI. PT. II. iii. 1. you do wrongfully seize Hereford's rights- R. II. ii. 1. DANGER,-continued. In rank Achilles, must or now be cropp'd, There is more in it than fair visage. OLD. 'Tis better playing with a lion's whelp DARING. As full of peril and adventurous spirit I dare damnation: To this point I stand. T. C. i. 3. H. VIII. iii. 2. A. C. iii. 11. H. IV. PT. I. i. 3 DARKNESS, ITS EFFECT ON THE FACULTY OF HEARING. It pays the hearing double recompense. MENTAL. H. i. 1. H. iv. 5. M. N. iii. 2. Madam, thou errest: I say, there is no darkness but ignorance; in which thou art more puzzled, than the Egyptians in their fog. DAUGHTERS. Fathers, from hence trust not your daughters, DAWN. The third hour of drowsy morning. The silent hour steals on, And flaky darkness breaks within the east. And yon grey lines that fret the clouds, Are messengers of day. This morning, like the spirit of youth Swift, swift, you dragons of the night!—that But, look, the dawn, in russet mantle clad, A. C. iv. 4. dawning Cym. ii. 2. Night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast; And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger; H. i. 1. H. i. 5. |
