Ambition's like a circle on the water,
  Which never ceases to enlarge itself,
    'Till by broad spreading it disperse to nought.

An affable and courteous gentleman.
      - [Gentlemen]

An arrant traitor as any is in the universal world, or in France, or in England.
      - [Traitor]

An envious fever of pale and bloodless emulation.

An eye like Mars, to threaten or command.

An honest man, sir, is able to speak for himself, when a knave is not.

An oak whose boughs were mossed with age, and high top bald with dry antiquity.

An old man is twice a child.
      - [Age]

An old man, broken with the storms of state,
  Is come to lay his weary bones among ye;
    Give him a little earth for charity!
      - [Resignation]

And all my mother came into mine eyes
  And gave me up to tears.
      - [Mothers]

And as imagination bodies forth
  The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
    Turns them to shape and gives to airy nothing
      A local habitation and a name.
        Such tricks has strong imagination
          That if he would but apprehend some joy,
            It comprehends some bringer of that joy;
              Or in the night imagining some fear,
                How easy is a bush supposed a bear?
      - [Imagination]

And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two,
  And sleep's again.
      - [Fear]

And blind oblivion swallowed cities up.
      - [Oblivion]

And do as adversaries do in law:
  Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
      - [Adversaries]

And either victory, or else a grave.
      - [Victory]

And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
      - [Angels]

And frame your mind to mirth and merrimnent,
  Which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.
      - [Merriment]

And her immortal part with angels lives.
      - [Soul]

And her sunny locks
  Hang on her temples like a golden fleece.
      - [Hair]

And his big manly voice,
  Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
    And whistles in his sound.
      - [Age]

And how his audit stands, who knows, save Heaven?
      - [Judgment]

And many an old man's sigh, and many a widow's,
  And many an orphan's water-standing eye--
    Men for their sons', wives for their husbands' fate,
      And orphans for their parents' timeless death,--
        Shall rue the hour that ever thou wast born.
      - [Tyranny]

And more such days as these to us befall!
      - [Birthday]

And send him many years of sunshine days!
      - [Birthday]

And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe,
  And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot;
    And thereby hangs a tale.
      - [Life]
