VIRAGO,-continued. some scholar would conjure her; for, certainly, while she is here, a man may live as quiet in hell, as in a sanctuary.

VIRGINITY.

M. A. ii. 1.

Bless our poor virginity from underminers and blowers up. Is there no military policy, how virgins might blow up

men ?

VIRTUE.

Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.

A. W. i. I.

M.M. iii. 1.

But virtue, as it never will be mov'd,

Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven;
So lust, though to a radiant angel link'd,
Will sate itself in a celestial bed,

And prey on garbage.

H. i. 5.

Never could the strumpet,

With all her double vigour, art, and nature,

Subdues me quite: Ever, till now,

Once stir my temper; but this virtuous maid

When men were fond, I smil'd, and wonder'd how.

M.M. ii. 2.

Assume a virtue, if you have it not.

That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat

Of habit's devil, is angel yet in this;

That to the use of actions fair and good

He likewise gives a frock, or livery,

That aptly is put on.

H. iii. 4.

H. IV. PT. II. i. 2.

Virtue is of so little regard in these costermonger times, that true valour is turned bear-herd.

AND ABILITY.

I held it ever,

Virtue and cunning were endowments greater

Than nobleness and riches: careless heirs

May the two latter darken and expend;
But immortality attends the former,
Making a man a god.

REWARDED.

Virtue preserv'd from fell destruction's blast,
Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last.

VITUPERATION (See also ABUSE).

P. P. iii. 2.

P.P. v. Ep.

What man of good temper could endure this tempest of exclamation?

The bitter clamour of two eager tongues.

H. IV. PT. II. ii. 1.

R. II. i. 1.

UNANIMITY.

I would we were all of one mind, and one mind, good: O, there were desolation of jailers and gallowses. Cym. v. 4. UNDERLINGS.

Shallow. Use his men well, Davy; for they are arrant knaves, and will backbite.

Davy. No worse than they are back-bitten, Sir; for they have marvellous foul linen. H.IV. PT. II. v. 1.

UNFITNESS.

There is but one puritan amonst them, and he sings psalms to hornpipes.

On old Hyems' chin, and icy crown,
An od'rous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set.

UNFORTUNATE.

Thou, whom the heaven's plagues,

Have humbled to all strokes.

UNION. UNITY.

So we grew together,

Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet a union in partition;

Two lovely berries moulded on one stem:
So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart;
Two of the first, like coats in heraldry,

W.T. iv. 2.

M. N. ii. 2.

K. L. iv. 1.

Due but to one, and crowned with one crest.

M.N. iii. 2.

The amity that wisdom knits not, folly may easily untie.

T.C. ii. 3.

P. P. ii. 4.

Then you love us, we you, and we'll clasp hands:
When peers thus knit, a kingdom ever stands.
He, that parts us, shall bring a brand from heaven,
And fire us hence, like foxes.

UNKINDNESS.

K. L. v. 3.

Is there any cause in nature that makes these hard hearts?

H. i. 4.

M. V. ii. 7.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Gilded tombs do worms infold.

Nay, not as one would say, healthy; but so sound, as

things that are hollow.

M.M. i. 2.

UNVEILED.

To the greedy touch

Of common-kissing Titan.

UNWORTHINESS.

You are not worth the dust which the rude wind

Blows in your face.

Thou wert dignified enough,

Even to the point of envy, if 'twere made

Comparative for your virtues to be styl'd

The under hangman of his kingdom, and hated
For being preferr'd so well.

VOCATION.

Cym. iii. 4.

K. L. iv. 2.

Cym. ii. 3.

Why, Hal, 'tis my vocation, Hal; 'tis no sin for a man to labour in his vocation.

VOICE.

H. IV. PT. I. i. 2.

The shepherd knows not thunder from a tabor,
More than I know the sound of Marcius' tongue,
From every meaner man's.

MELODIOUS.

C. i. 6.

Who starves the ears she feeds, and makes them hungry,
The more she gives them speech.

P. P. v.1.

VOWS (See also LOVERS' Vows, Oaths).

Riotous madness,

To be entangled with those mouth-made vows
Which break themselves in swearing.

A. C. i. 3.

The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows

They are polluted offerings, more abhor'd
Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.

T.C. v. 3.

Men's vows are women's traitors! All good seeming,

By thy revolt, O husband, shall be thought

Put on for villany; not born, wher't grows;

But worn, a bait for ladies.

Cym. iii. 4.

T C. v.3.

T. G. ii. 6.

It is the purpose that makes strong the vow;
But vows to every purpose must not hold.
Unheedful vows may heedfully be broken.

CONNUBIAL, FALSIFIED (See also INCONTINENCE).
Such an act,

That blurs the grace and blush of modesty;

Calls virtue, hypocrite; takes off the rose

From the fair forehead of an innocent love,
And sets a blister there; makes inarriage vows
As false as dicers' oaths.

H. iii. 4.

UPSTART.

A man, they say, that from very nothing, beyond the imagination of his neighbours, is grown into an unspeaka

ble estate.

URGENCY.

The affair cries,—haste,

And speed must answer it.

The time will not allow the compliment,

Which very manners urges.

W. T. iv. 1.

O. i. 3.

K. L. v. 3.

R. III. v. 4.

Her business looks in her

With an importing visage.

A. W. v. 3.

A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

USURY.

That use is not forbidden usury,

Which happies those that pay the willing loan.
Banish usury, that makes the senate ugly.

USURERS.

Poems.

T. A. iii. 5.

Poor rogues, and usurers' men! bawds between gold and

USURPER.

want!

A sceptre snatch'd with an unruly hand,
Must be as boisterously maintain'd as gain'd:
And he that stands upon a slippery place,
Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up.

In the name of God,

How comes it then, that thou art call'd a king,
When living blood doth in these temples beat,
Which owe the crown that thou o'ermasterest?
Those he commands, move only in command,
Nothing in love: now does he feel the title
Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe
Upon a dwarfish thief.

A vice of kings;
A cut-purse of the empire and the rule;
That from a shelf the precious diadem stole
And put it in his pocket.

No hand of blood and bone

Can gripe the sacred handle of our sceptre,
Unless he do profane, steal, or usurp.

UTILITY AND DIGNITY.

A stirring dwarf we do allowance give
Before a sleeping giant.

w.

Though't be a sportful combat,

Yet in the trial much opinion dwells.

T.C. i. 3.

Nothing can seem foul to those that win. H.IV. PT. I. v. 1.

WAGGERY.

A waggish courage;

Ready in gibes, quick-answer'd, saucy, and
As quarrelous as a weasel.

WANDERER.

He that commends me to mine own content,
Commends me to the thing I cannot get
I to the world am like a drop of water,
That in the ocean seeks another drop;
Who, falling there to find his fellow forth,
Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself.

WANT.

Where nothing wants, that want itself doth seek.

WANTON.

Your worship's a wanton.

WANTONNESS.

Cym. iii. 4.

C. E. i. 2.

L. L. iv. 3.

M. W. ii. 2.

The spirit of wantonness is, sure, scared out of him; if the devil have him not in fee simple, with fine and recovery, he will never, I think, in the way of waste, attempt us again. M. W. iv. 2.

WAR (See also BATTLE).

The storm is up, and all is on the hazard.
Slaves for pillage fighting,

Obdurate vassals, fell exploits effecting,

J. C. v. 1.

In bloody deaths and ravishments delighting;
Nor children's tears, nor mothers' groans respecting.

Put armour on thine ears, and on thine eyes;
Whose proof, nor yells of mothers, maids, nor babes,
Nor sight of priests in holy vestments bleeding,
Shall pierce a jot.

The grappling vigour, and rough frown of war.
The imminent death of twenty thousand men,
That, for a fantasy, and trick of fame,
Go to their graves like beds; fight for a plot,
