Talk with a man out at a window!--a proper saying!
      - William Shakespeare,
        Much Ado About Nothing
         (Beatrice at IV, i)

My lord shall never rest;
  I'll watch him tame and talk him out of patience;
    His bed shall seem a school, his board a shrift;
      I'll intermingle everything he does
        With Cassio's suit.
      - William Shakespeare,
        Othello the Moor of Venice
         (Desdemona at III, iii)

What cracker is this same that deafs our ears
  With this abundance of superfluous breath?

If I chance to talk a little wild, forgive me;
  I had it from my father.

The red wine first must rise
  In their fair cheeks, my lord; then we shall have 'em
    Talk us to silence.
      - William Shakespeare,
        The Life of King Henry the Eighth

No, pray thee, let it serve for table-talk;
  Then howsome'er thou speak'st, 'mong other things
    I shall digest it.
      - William Shakespeare,
        The Merchant of Venice
         (Lorenzo at III, v)

Tut, tut, my lord! we will not stand to prate;
  Talkers are no good doers. Be assured:
    We go to use our hands, and not our tongues.
      - William Shakespeare,
        The Tragedy of King Richard the Third
         (First Murderer at I, iii)

She sits tormenting every guest,
  Nor gives her tongue one moment's rest,
    In phrases batter'd, stale, and trite,
      Which modern ladies call polite.
      - Jonathan Swift,
        The Journal of a Modern Lady
