As You Like It-Continued.

Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood;

Therefore my age is as a lusty winter,
Frosty, but kindly.

Act ii. Sc. 7.

And railed on lady Fortune in good terms,

In good set terms.

And looking on it with lack-lustre eye,

"Thus we may see," quoth he, "how the world wags.

And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe,
And then from hour to hour we rot and rot,

And thereby hangs a tale."

They have the gift to know it.

Withal, as large a charter as the wind,
To blow on whom I please.

Act ii. Sc. 7.

And all the men and women merely players:

As You Like It-Continued.

They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts.

And then, the whining school-boy, with his satchel,
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then, the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad

Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then, a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,

[ocr errors][ocr errors]

Full of wise saws, and modern instances,

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon.

Last scene of all,

That ends this strange, eventful history,
Is second childishness, and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans every thing.

Thou art not so unkind

As man's ingratitude.

Good wine needs no bush.

TAMING OF THE SHREW.

Act iv. Sc. 1.

And thereby hangs a tale.

Act v. Sc. 1.

My cake is dough.

[blocks in formation]

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.

Act iv. Sc. 3.

When you do dance, I wish you

A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do
Nothing but that.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.

That I should love a bright, particular star,
And think to wed it, he is so above me.

Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.
