EYE-BROws.

Your brows are blacker; yet black brows, they say,
Become some women best; so that there be not
Too much hair there, but in a semi-circle,
Or half moon made with a pen.

- AND EARS.

My will enkindled by mine eyes and ears,

Two traded pilots 'twixt the dangerous shores
Of will and judgment.

FACE.

F.

If he be not one that truly loves you,
That errs in ignorance and not in cunning,
I have no judgment in an honest face.
Your face, my thane, is as a book, where men
May read strange matters.

FACILITY.

'Tis as easy as lying.

M. i. 5,

H. iii. 2.

Fairies, black, grey, green, and white,
You moon-shine revellers, and shades of night,

You orphan-heirs of fixed destiny,

Attend your office, and your quality.

M. W. v. 5,

Elves, list your names; silence, you airy toys.

Cricket, to Windsor chimneys shalt thou leap:

Where fires thou find'st unrak'd, and hearths unswept,

There pinch the maids as blue as bilberry:

Our radiant queen hates sluts and sluttery.

W.M. v. 5.

But that it eats our victuals, I should think

Here were a fairy.

Cym. iii. 6.

Come, now a roundel, and a fairy song;

Then, for the third part of a minute, hence;
Some, to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds;

Some, war with rear-mice for their leathern wings,

To make my small elves coats; and some, keep back

FAIRIES,-continued.

The clamorous owl, that nightly hoots, and wonders
At our quaint spirits.

M. N. ii. 3

Where's Pede?-Go you, and where you find a maid,
That, ere she sleep, has thrice her prayers said,
Raise up the organs of her fantasy,

Sleep she as sound as careless infancy;

But those that sleep, and think not on their sins,

Pinch them, arms, legs, back, shoulders, sides, and shins.

About, about;

Search Windsor-Castle, elves, within and out:

Strew good luck, ouphes, in every sacred room;
That it may stand till the perpetual doom,

In state as wholesome as in state 'tis fit;
Worthy the owner, and the owner it.
The several chairs of order look you scour
With juice of balm, and every precious flower:
Each fair instalment, coat, and several crest,
With loyal blazon, evermore be blest!
And nightly, meadow-fairies, look,
you sing,
Like to the Garter's compass, in a ring:

The expressure that it bears, green let it be,
More fertile-fresh than all the field to see;
And Hony soit qui mal y pense, write

In emerald tufts, flowers purple, blue, and white;
Like sapphire, pearl, and rich embroidery,

Buckled below fair knighthood's bending knee :
Fairies use flowers for their charactery.

Away; disperse.

And twenty glow-worms shall our lanterns be,

Pray you, lock hand in hand: yourselves in order set:

To guide our measure round about the tree.

eyes;

Be kind and courteous to this gentleman;
Hop in his walks, and gambol in his
Feed him with apricocks and dewberries,
With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries,
The honey bags steal from the humble bees,
And, for night-tapers, crop their waxen thighs,
And light them at the fiery glow-worm's eyes,
To have my love to bed, and to arise;
And pluck the wings from painted butterflies,

M.W. v.5.

FAIRIES, continued.

To fan the moon-beams from his sleeping eyes:
Nod to him, elves, and do him courtesies.

M. N. iii. 1.

EMPLOYMENT.

To tread the ooze of the salt deep;
To run upon the sharp wind of the north;
To do me business in the veins o' the earth,
When it is bak'd with frost.

FAITH,

Well, if ever thou dost fall from this faith, thou wilt prove a notable argument.

M. A. i. 1.

FALLEN GREATNESS (See also LIFE, DEATH, MIGHTY DEAD.) 'Tis a sufferance, panging

H. VIII. ii. 3.

As soul and body's severing.
Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: To-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope; to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him ;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost;
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a ripening,-nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do. I have ventur'd,
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea of glory;
But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride
At length broke under me; and now has left me,
Weary, and old with service, to the mercy
Of a rude stream, that must for ever hide me.
Vain pomp, and glory of this world, I hate ye;
I feel my heart new opened: O, how wretched
Is that poor man, that hangs on princes' favours!
There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars and women have;
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,

Never to hope again.

H. VIII. iii. 2.

But yesterday, the word of Cæsar might
Have stood against the world: now lies he there,

And none so poor to do him reverence.

J. C. iii. 2.

O sun, thy uprise shall I see no more :

Fortune and Antony part here; even here
Do we shake hands. - All come to this? The hearts

That spaniel'd me at heels, to whom I gave
Their wishes, do discandy, melt their sweets
On blossoming Cæsar; and this pine is bark'd
That over-topp'd them all.

Α.Ο. iv. 10. FALLEN GREATNESS, -continued.

Iligh events as these

Strike those that make them: and their story is
No less in pity, than his glory, which

Brought them to be lamented.

Nay then, farewell!

A.C. v. 2

I've touch'd the highest point of all my greatness!
And, from that full meridian of my glory,
I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
And no man see me more.

H. VIII. iii. 2.

Where is thy husband now? where be thy brothers?
Where be thy two sons? wherein dost thou joy?
Who sues, and kneels, and says-God save the queen?
Where be the bending peers that flatter'd thee?
Where be the thronging troops that follow'd thee?
Decline all this, and see what now thou art.

A falcon, tow'ring in her pride of place,
Was, by a mousing owl, hawk'd at, and kill'd.
An argument that he is pluck'd, when hither
He sends so poor a pinion of his wing,
Which had superfluous kings for messengers,
Not many moons gone by.

O wither'd is the garland of the war,

R. III. iv. 4.

M. ii. 4.

A. C. iii. 10.

The soldier's pole is fallen; young boys, and girls
Are level now with men; the odds is gone,
And there is nothing left remarkable

Beneath the visiting moon.

A. C. iv. 13.

O mighty Cæsar! Dost thou lie so low?
Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils,
Shrunk to this little measure?

J.C. iii. 1.

'Tis certain, greatness, once fallen out with fortune,
Must fall out with men too: What the declin'd is,
He shall as soon read in the eyes of others,
As feel in his own fall:-for men, like butterflies,
Show not their mealy wings but to the summer.

T. C. iii. 3

Never so truly happy, my good Cromwell.

I know myself now; and I feel within me
A peace above all earthly dignities,

A still and quiet conscience. The king has cur'd me,
I humbly thank his grace; and from these shoulders,

These ruin'd pillars, out of pity, taken

A load would sink a navy, too much honour:

O, 'tis a burden, Cromwell, 'tis a burden,

Too heavy for a man that hopes for heaven. H. VIII, iii. 2.

FALLEN GREATNESS, continued.

My lord of Winchester, you are a little,
By your good favour, too sharp; men so noble,
However faulty, yet should find respect,
For what they have been: 'tis a cruelty,

To load a falling man.

H. VIII. v. 2.

His overthrow heap'd happiness upon him;
For then, and not till then, he felt himself,

And found the blessedness of being little.

H. VIII. iv. 2

What, amazed

At my misfortunes? can thy spirit wonder,
A great man should decline? Nay, an you weep,

I am fallen indeed.

H. VIII. iii. 2

There was the weight that pull'd me down. O Cromwell,

The king has gone beyond me, all my glories

In that one woman I have lost for ever:

No sun shall ever usher forth mine honours,

Or gild again the noble troops that waited

Upon my smiles. Go, get thee from me, Cromwell;

I am a poor fallen man, unworthy now

To be thy lord and master.

H. VIII. iii. 2.

Brave Percy: Fare thee well, great heart!

Ill-weav'd ambition, how much art thou shrunk !
When that this body did contain a spirit,
A kingdom for it was too small a bound;
But now, two paces of the vilest earth

Is room enough.

H. IV. PT. I. v. 4.

Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs,
Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes,
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth.
Let's choose executors, and talk of wills:
And yet not so, for what can we bequeath,
Save our deposed bodies to the ground?
Our lands, our lives, and all are Bolingbroke's,
And nothing can we call our own, but death;
And that small model of the barren earth,
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.
For heaven's sake let us sit upon the ground,
And tell sad stories of the death of kings:-
How some have been depos'd, some slain in war;-
Some haunted by the ghosts they have depos'd;
Some poison'd by their wives, some sleeping kill'd;
All murder'd.

O, my lord,

Press not a falling man too far; 'tis virtue:
His faults lie open to the laws; let them,

R. II. iii. 2.
