Page 99 - But I, that am not shaped for 'sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass ; I, that am 'rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph ; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling Nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent ' before my time Into this breathing world, — scarce ' half made-up ; And that so lamely and unfashionable, That dogs bark at me, as I halt by them...
Page 99 - That dogs bark at me, as I halt by them ; — Why I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass, away the time ; Unless to spy my shadow in the sun, And descant on mine own deformity ; And therefore, — since I cannot prove a lover,, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, — I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

Page 99 - Our bruised arms hung up for monuments; Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds, To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber, To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
Page 99 - Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York ; And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Page 99 - Deform'd, unfinish'd, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them — Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to see my shadow in the sun And descant on mine own deformity.
Page 99 - And descant on mine own deformity ; And therefore, — since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, — I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days. Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous, By drunken prophecies, libels, and dreams, To set my brother Clarence, and the king, In deadly hate the one against the other...
Page 44 - I cannot tell: this same truth is a naked and open daylight, that doth not show the masques and mummeries, and triumphs of the world, half so stately and daintily as candle-lights. Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that sheweth best by day ; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond or carbuncle that sheweth best in varied lights.
Page 54 - Predicate s,mte». of the first proposition is made the Subject of the next ; and so on, to any length, till finally the Predicate of the last of the Premises is predicated (in the Conclusion) of the Subject of the first : eg A is B, B is C, C is D, D is E ; therefore A is E.
Page 99 - I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days. Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous, By drunken prophecies, libels, and dreams, To set my brother Clarence, and the king, In deadly hate the one against the other; And, if king Edward be as true and just, As I am subtle, false, and treacherous, This day should Clarence closely be mewed up, About a prophecy, which says — that G Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be.
