O, Men's vows are women's traitors! All good seeming, By thy revolt, O husband, shall be thought Put on for villainy, not born where't grows, But worn a bait for ladies. - Cymbeline (Pisanio at III, iv) [Matrimony] Though those that are betrayed Do feel the treason sharply, yet the traitor Stands in worse case of woe. - Cymbeline (Imogen at III, iv) [Treason] Would you, in their serving, And with what imitation you can borrow From youth of such a season, 'fore noble Lucius Present yourself, desire his service, tell him Wherein you're happy, which will make him know, If that his head have ear in music; doubtless With joy he will embrace you, for he's honorable, And, doubling that, most holy. - Cymbeline (Pisanio at III, iv) [Honor] It fits us therefore ripely Our chariots and our horsemen be in readiness. - Cymbeline (Cymbeline at III, v) [Livery] All gold and silver rather turn to dirt, An 'tis no better reckoned but of these Who worship dirty gods. - Cymbeline (Arviragus at III, vi) [Wealth] Come, our stomachs Will make what's homely savory. - Cymbeline (Belarius at III, vi) [Hunger] No wonder, When rich ones scarce tell true. To lapse in fulness Is sorer than to lie for need, and falsehood Is worse in kings than beggars. - Cymbeline (Imogen at III, vi) [Lying] The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to. - Cymbeline (Balarius at III, vi) [Proverbs] Weariness Can snore upon the flint when resty sloth Finds the down pillow hard. - Cymbeline (Belarius at III, vi) [Proverbs : Rest : Sleep] (Cloten:) Thou villain base, Know'st me not by my clothes? (Guiderius:) No, nor thy tailor, rascal, Who is thy grandfather. He made those clothes, Which, as it seems, make thee. - Cymbeline (Cloten & Guiderius at IV, ii) [Apparel : Tailors] Cowards father cowards and base things sire base; Nature hath meal and bran, contempt and grace. - Cymbeline (Belarius at IV, ii) [Comparison] Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. - Cymbeline (Guiderius at IV, ii) [Death] Great griefs, I see, med'cine the less, for Cloten Is quite forgot. - Cymbeline (Belarius at IV, ii) [Grief] I am ill, but your being by me Cannot amend me; society is no comfort To one not sociable. - Cymbeline (Imogen at IV, ii) [Society] I know not why I love this youth, and I have heard you say Love's reason's without reason. - Cymbeline (Arviragus at IV, ii) [Love] Last night the very gods showed me a vision-- I fast and prayed for their intelligence--thus: I saw Jove's bird, the Roman eagle, winged From the spongy south to this part of the west, There vanished in the sunbeams; which portends, Unless my sins abuse my divination, Success to th' Roman host. - Cymbeline (Soothsayer at IV, ii) [Eagles] Nobly he yokes A smiling with a sigh, as if the sigh Was that it was for not being such a smile; The smile mocking the sigh that it would fly From so divine a temple to commix With winds that sailors rail at. - Cymbeline (Arviragus at IV, ii) [Smiles] O melancholy, Who ever yet could sound thy bottom, find The ooze, to show what coast thy sluggish crare Might eas'liest harbor in? - Cymbeline (Belarius at IV, ii) [Melancholy] So man and man should be, But clay and clay differs in dignity, Whose dust is both alike. - Cymbeline (Imogen at IV, ii) [Dignity] Some falls the means are happier to rise. - Cymbeline (Caius Lucius at IV, ii) [Proverbs] These flow'rs are like the pleasures of the world; This bloody man, the care on't. - Cymbeline (Imogen at IV, ii) [Flowers] They are as gentle As zephyrs blowing below the violet, Not wagging his sweet head; and yet as rough, Their royal blood enchafed, as the rud'st wind That by the top doth take the mountain pine And make him stoop to th' vale. - Cymbeline (Belarius at IV, ii) [Gentleness] Though mean and mighty, rotting Together, have one dust, yet reverence, That angel of the world, doth make distinction Of place 'tween high and low. - Cymbeline (Belarius at IV, ii) [Equality] To who? To thee? What art thou? Have not I An arm as big as thine? A heart as big? Thy words, I grant, are bigger, for I wear not My dagger in my mouth. - Cymbeline (Guiderius at IV, ii) [Words] With fairest flowers, Whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele, I'll sweeten thy sad grave. Thou shalt not lack The flower that's like thy face, pale primrose; nor The azured harebell, like thy veins; no, nor The leaf of eglantine, whom not to slander, Outsweet'ned not thy breath. - Cymbeline (Arviragus at IV, ii) [Flowers] Displaying page 81 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
