Woe doth the heavier sit, 17-i. 3. 433 Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues We write in water. 25-iv. 2. 434. When rich villains have need of poor ones, poor ones may make what price they will. 6-iii. 3. 435 At seventeen years many their fortunes seek; But at fourscore, it is too late a week. 436 Foul deeds will rise, 10-ii. 3. Though all the earth o'erwhelm them to men's eyes.* 437 One woe doth tread upon another's heel, So fast they follow. 36-i. 2. 36-iv. 7. 18-v. 4. 438 Time, that takes survey of all the world, Must have a stop. 439 It is as easy to count atomies,† as to resolve the 10-iii. 2. 440 propositions of a lover. Affection, Mistress of passion, sways it to the mood 9-iv. 1. 441 Then all too late comes counsel to be heard, Where will doth mutiny with wit's regard. 17-ii. 1. 442 Virtue cannot so innoculate our old stock, but 36-iii. 1. we shall relish of it. 443 'Tis fond to wail inevitable strokes, As 'tis to laugh at them. 444 Thieves for their robbery have authority, When judges steal themselves. 28-iv. 1. * Numb. xxxii. 23. 5-ii. 2. † Motes. † Foolish. 445 It is a great sin, to swear unto a sin; But greater sin to keep a sinful oath. 33-v. 3. 450 Scorn at first, makes after-love the more. 2-iii. 1. handicrafts-men. 451 O miserable age! Virtue is not regarded in 22-iv. 2. great ones eat up the little ones. 452 Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the 33-ii. 1. 453 O, how full of briars is this working-day world! 10-i. 3. 454 'Tis safer to be that which we destroy, As passes colouring. Than, by destruction, dwell in doubtful joy. 455 Here's such ado to make no stain a stain, 456 Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. 15-iii. 2. 13-ii. 2. 4-ii. 5. 457 Merry larks are ploughman's clocks. 8-v. 2. 458 I run before my horse to market. 24-i. 1. 30-iv. 4. 459 To business that we love, we rise betime, 460 And go to it with delight. Brevity is the soul of wit, 36-ii. 2. 461 A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king; and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. 36-iv. 3. flood? 462 What need the bridge much broader than the 6-i. 1. and ill together. 463 The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good 11-iv. 3. 464 Fortune reigns in gifts of the world, not in the lineaments of nature. 10-i. 2. 465 Slander lives upon succession; For ever housed, where it once gets possession. 14-iii. 1. 466 Every fault's condemn'd, ere it be done. 5-ii. 2. 4-v. 1. 467 'Gainst knave and thief men shut their gate. 468 469 470 It is not meet That every nice* offence should bear his com29-iv. 3. ment. Not evert We are not the first, Who, with best meaning, have incurr'd the worst. 471. To offend and judge, are distinct offices, And of opposed natures. 34-v. 3. 9-ii. 9. 472 All's not offence that indiscretion finds, And dotage terms so. 34-ii. 4. 473 Feasts In every mess have folly, and the feeders 13-iv. 3. 474 Though authority be a stubborn bear, yet he is oft led by the nose with gold. 13-iv. 3. * Trifling. † Always. 475 'Tis safer to Avoid what's grown than question how 'tis born. 13-i. 2. 476 Men, that make Envy, and crooked malice, nourishment, 25-v. 2. 477 Pity is the virtue of the law, And none but tyrants use it cruelly. 27-iii. 5. 482 How much better is it to weep at joy, than to joy at weeping? 6-i. 1. 483 Our very eyes Are sometimes like our judgments, blind. 31-iv. 2. 484 Foolery does walk about the orb, like the sun; 4-iii. 1. it shines every where. 485 Love yourself: and in that love, Not unconsider'd leave your honour. 25-i. 2. 486 The art of our necessities is strange, 487 That can make vile things precious. 34-iii. 2.

A virtuous mind may recede from goodness in the execution of a royal commission. † Interest. Of the truth of this Hazael, king of Syria, affords a striking instance. See 2 Kings, viii. 12, 13.

But in battalions. 491 When sorrows come, they come not single spies, 36-iv. 5. 492 We are such stuff As dreams are made of, and our little life 1-iv. 1. unquietness ? 493 What is he for a fool, that betroths himself to 6-i. 3. without deserving. 494 Reputation;-oft got without merit, and lost 37-ii. 3. 495 Briefly die their joys, That place them on the truth of girls and boys. 31-v. 5. 496 Than faults may shake our frames. We are made to be no stronger 497 When good-will is show'd, though it come too 5-ii. 4. short, The actor may plead pardon. 30-ii. 5. 501 Notes of sorrow, out of tune, are worse Than priests and fanes that lie. 31-iv. 2. 502 Put armour on thine ears, and on thine eyes. 503 More pity, that the eagle should be mew'd,* While kites and buzzards prey at liberty. * Confined, 24-i. 1. 27-iv. 3. |
