For vilest things Become themselves in her, that the holy priests Bless her when she is riggish. - Antony and Cleopatra (Enobarbus at II, ii) [Women] Our courteous Antony, Whom ne'er the word of 'no' woman heard speak, Being barbered ten times o'er, goes to the feast, And for his ordinary pays his heart For what his eyes eat only. - Antony and Cleopatra (Enobarbus at II, ii) [Barber] That truth should be silent I had almost forgot. - Antony and Cleopatra (Enobarbus at II, ii) [Truth] The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne, Burned on the water: the poop was beaten gold; Purple the sails, and so perfumed that The winds were lovesick with them; the oars were silver, Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made The water which they beat to follow faster, As amorous of their strokes. - Antony and Cleopatra (Enobarbus at II, ii) [Boating : Perfume : Ships] To hold you in perpetual amity, To make you brothers, and to knit your hearts With an unslipping knot, take Antony Octavia to his wife; whose beauty claims No worse a husband than the best of men; Whose virtue and whose general graces speak That which none else can utter. - Antony and Cleopatra (Agrippa at II, ii) [Husbands] At land indeed Thou dost o'ercount me of my father's house: But since the cuckoo builds not for himself, Remain in't as thou mayst. - Antony and Cleopatra (Pompey at II, v) [Cuckoos] Give me mine angle, we'll to th' river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws; and as I draw them up, I'll think them every one an Antony, And say, 'Ah, ha! are caught!' - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at II, v) [Fishing] Give me some music: music, moody food Of us that trade in love. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at II, v) [Music] I do not like 'but yet, it does allay The good precedence: fie upon 'but yet,' 'But yet' is as a jailer to bring forth Some monstrous malefactor. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at II, v) [Doubt] Prithee, friend, Pour out the pack of matter to mine ear, The good and the bad together: he's friends with Caesar, In state of health, thou say'st, and thou say'st, free. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at II, v) [News] Ram thou fruitful tidings in mine ears, That long time have been barren. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at II, v) [News] Displaying page 71 of 186 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 [71] 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186
