Forth at your eyes, your spirits wildly peep.
That gallant spirit hath aspir'd the clouds.
The spirit of the time shall teach me speed.

INFERNAL.

Black spirits and white,
Red spirits and grey;
Mingle, mingle, mingle,
You that mingle may.

Now, ye familiar spirits, that are cull'd
Out of the powerful regions under earth,
Help me this once.

H. iii. 4.

R. J. iii. 1.
K. J. iii. 4.

Μ. iv. 1.

H. VI. PT. I. v. 3.

Glendower.-I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur. Why, so can I; or so can any man:

But will they come when you do call for them?

H. IV. PT. I. iii. 1.

[blocks in formation]

'Sfoot, I'll learn to conjure and raise devils, but I'll see some issue of my spiteful execrations.

Out, you mad-headed ape!

T. C. ii. 3.

SPLEEN.

A weasel hath not such a deal of spleen
As you are toss'd with.

H. IV. PT. I. ii. 3.

[blocks in formation]

Nay, I'll come; if I lose a scruple of this sport, let me

be boiled to death with melancholy.

T.N. ii. 5.

Very reverend sport, truly; and done in the testimony of a good conscience.

L. L. iv. 2. SPORT, continued.

That sport best pleases, that doth least know how:
Where zeal strives to content, and the contents
Die in the zeal of them which it presents,
Their form confounded makes most form in mirth;
When great things labouring perish in their birth.

L. L. v. 2.

M. W. iv. 4.

It is admirable pleasures and fery honest knaveries.

There's no such sport, as sport by sport o'erthrown;
To make theirs ours, and ours none but our own:
So shall we stay, mocking intended game,
And they, well mock'd, depart away with shame.

L. L. v. 2.

I'll make one in a dance, or so; or I will play on the tabor to the worthies, and let them dance the hay.

LADIES.

L. L. v. 1.

Thus men may grow wiser every day! it is the first time that ever I heard, breaking of ribs was sport for ladies.

SPOT (See also BLOT, STAIN).
With a spot I damn him.

SPRING.

When daisies pied, and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue,
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men, for thus sings he,
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo. O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!

When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are ploughmen's clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach their summer smocks.

The cuckoo then, &c.

When well-apparell'd April on the heel
Of limping winter treads.

SPRING FLOWERS.

A.Y. i. 2.

J. C. iv. 1.

L. L. v. 2.

R. J. i. 2.

O Proserpina,

For the flowers now, that, frighted, thou let'st fall

From Dis's waggon! daffodils

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,

SPRING, continued.

Or Cytherea's breath; pale primroses,
That die unmarried, ere they can behold
Bright Phœbus in his strength, a malady
Most incident to maids; bold oxlips, and
The crown imperial; lilies of all kinds,
The flower-de-luce being one.

W.T. iv. 3.

Μ. ν.1.

All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweaten this little hand.

Μ. v. 1.

[blocks in formation]

I shall stalk about her door,

Like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks,
Staying for waftage.

T. C. iii. 2.

[blocks in formation]

Convey, the wise it call: Steal! foh; a fico for the phrase.

AWAY.

Therefore, to horse;

And let us not be dainty of leave-taking,

But shift away: There's warrant in that theft,
Which steals itself, when there's no mercy left.

STRANGE OCCURRENCE.

M. W. i. 3.

M. ii. 3.

If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.

STRATAGEM.

Saint Dennis bless this happy stratagem.

T. N. iii. 4.

STRENGTH.

O, it is excellent

H.VI. PT. I. iii. 2.

To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant.

M. M. ii. 2. STRIPLINGS, MILITARY.

Worthy fellows; and like to prove most sinewy swordsmen.

STRIKING.

A. W. ii. 1.

This cuff was but to knock at your ear, and beseech

T. S. iv. 1.

listening.

STUDY (See also LIGHT).

Study is like the heaven's glorious sun,

That will not be deep search'd with saucy looks;

Small have continual plodders ever won,

Save base authority, from others' books.

L. L. i. 1.

Why, universal plodding prisons up
The nimble spirits in the arteries;
As motion, and long-during action, tires
The sinewy vigour of the traveller.

So study evermore is overshot;
While it doth study to have what it would,
It doth forget to do the thing it should:
And when it hath the thing it hunteth most,
'Tis won, as towns with fire; so won, so lost.

L. L. iv. 3.

L. L. i. 1.

Biron. What is the end of study?
King. Why, that to know, which else we should not

know.

Biron. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense?

King.-Ay, that is study's god-like recompense.

I have drugg'd their possets

L.L. i. 1.

STUPEFACTION.

That death and nature do contend about them

[blocks in formation]

Why this it is, when men are rul'd by women. R. III. i. 1.

SUBMISSION.

You shall be as a father to my youth;

My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear;

And I will stoop and humble my intents

To your well-practis'd, wise directions. H. IV. PT. II. v. 2.

My other self, my counsel's consistory,

My oracle, my prophet!- My dear cousin,

I, as a child, will go by thy directions.

TO THE LAWS.

If the deed were ill,

R. III. ii. 2.

Be you contented, wearing now the garland,
To have a son set your decrees at nought;
To pluck down justice from your awful bench;
To trip the course of law, and blunt the sword
That guards the peace and safety of your person :
Nay, more; to spurn at your most royal image,
And mock your workings in a second body.
Question your royal thoughts, make the case yours;
Be now the father, and propose a son:
Hear your own dignity so much profan'd;
See your most dreadful laws so loosely slighted,

Behold yourself so by a son disdain'd;
And then imagine me taking your part,

And, in your power, soft silencing your son.

SUFFERANCE.

Of sufferance comes ease.

SUFFERING, UNJUST.

H.IV. PT. II. v. 2.

H. IV. PT. II. v. 4.

Upon such sacrifices, my Cordelia,

The gods themselves throw incense.

K. L. v. 3.

Why should hard-favour'd grief be lodg'd in thee,

When triumph is become an ale-house guest? R. II. v. 1.

SUICIDE (See also CONSCIENCE).

Against self-slaughter

There is a prohibition so divine,

That cravens my weak hand.

Cym. iii. 4.

To be, or not to be, that is the question :-
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind, to suffer
The stings and arrows of outrageous fortune;
Or, to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them? To die, -to sleep,-
No more; and, by sleep, to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, -'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die; -to sleep; -
