Not Erebus itself were dim enough

29-ii. 1.

234

To hide thee from prevention.

Diseases, desperate grown,

By desperate appliance are relieved,

Or not at all.

235

Such is the infection of the time,

That, for the health and physic of our right,
We cannot deal but with the very hand

Of stern injustice and confused wrong.

236

36-iv.3.

16-v. 2.

If that the heavens do not their visible spirits Send quickly down to tame these vile offences, 'Twill come,

Humanity must perforce prey on itself,

Like monsters of the deep.

237

34-iv. 2.

Though some of you, with Pilate, wash your hands,
Shewing an outward pity; yet you Pilates
Have here deliver'd me to my sour cross,
And water cannot wash away your sin.

238

17-iv. 1.

These growing feathers, pluck'd from Cæsar's wing, Will make him fly an ordinary pitch;

Who else would soar above the view of men,

And keep us all in servile fearfulness.

29-i. 1.

239

Before him

He carries noise, and behind him he leaves tears.

240

When first this order was ordain'd,

28-ii. 1.

Knights of the garter were of noble birth;
Valiant, and virtuous, full of haughty courage,
Such as were grown to credit by the wars;

21-iv. 1.

Not fearing death, nor shrinking for distress,
But always resolute in most extremes.

241

The horn and noise o' the monsters.

28-iii. 1.

242

Our fathers' minds are dead,

And we are govern'd with our mothers' spirits;
Our yoke and sufferance shew us womanish.

243

Authority bears a credent bulk,

That no particular scandal once can touch,
But it confounds the breather.

244

29-i. 3.

5-iv. 4.

Whether it be the fault and glimpse of newness;
Or whether that the body public be

A horse, whereon the governor doth ride,
Who, newly in the seat, that it may know

He can command, lets it straight feel the spur:
Whether the tyranny be in his place,

Or in his eminence that fills it up,

I stagger in.

245

His life is parallel'd

5-i. 3.

Even with the stroke and line of his great justice;

He doth with holy abstinence subdue

That in himself, which he spurs on his power

To qualify in others: were he meal'd

[nous;

With that which he corrects, then were he tyranBut this being so, he's just.

246

5-iv. 2.

What his high hatred would effect, wants not
A minister in his power: You know his nature,
That he's revengeful; and I know, his sword
Hath a sharp edge: it's long, and, it may be said,
It reaches far; and where 'twill not extend,
Thither he darts it.

25-i. 1.

247

When he speaks not like a citizen, You find him like a soldier: Do not take His rougher accents for malicious sounds, But, as I say, such as become a soldier, Rather than envy you.

248

He bore him in the thickest troop,

As doth a lion in a herd of neat:

28-iii. 3.

Or as a bear, encompass'd round with dogs;
Who having pinch'd a few, and made them cry,
The rest stand all aloof, and bark at him. 23-ii. 1.

249

I do not think, a braver gentleman,

More active-valiant, or more valiant-young,
More daring, or more bold, is now alive,
To grace this latter age with noble deeds.

250

In speech, in gait,

In diet, in affections of delight,

In military rules, humours of blood,

He was the mark and glass, copy and book,
That fashion'd others.

251

18-v. 1.

19-ii. 3.

He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age; doing, in the figure of a lamb, the feats of a lion: he hath, indeed, better bettered expectation.

252

In war was never lion raged more fierce,
In peace was never gentle lamb more mild.

6-i. 1.

17-ii. 1.

253

He, in his blaze of wrath, subscribes

To tender objects; but he, in heat of action,
Is more vindicative than jealous love.

26-iv. 5.

254

He stopp'd the fliers;

And, by his rare example, made the coward
Turn terror into sport; as waves before
A vessel under sail, so men obey'd,

And fell below his stem.

255

I had rather have my wounds to heal again,
Than hear say how I got them.

28-ii. 2.

28-ii. 2.

256

Thou art a soldier, therefore seldom rich.

27-i. 2.

257

His death (whose spirit lent a fire

Even to the dullest peasant in his camp)
Being bruited once, took fire and heat away
From the best-temper'd courage in his troops.

258

He has been bred i̇' the wars

19-i. 1.

Since he could draw a sword, and is ill-school'd
In boulted language; meal and bran together
He throws without distinction.

259

O, wither'd is the garland of the war,

The soldier's pole is fallen.

260

The present wars devour him: he is grown

Too proud to be so valiant.

Such a nature,

28-iii. 1.

30-iv. 13.

Tickled with good success, disdains the shadow
Which he treads on at noon.

261

Who lined himself with hope,

Eating the air on promise of supply,

Flattering himself with project of a power

28-i. 1.

Much smaller than the smallest of his thoughts;
And so, with great imagination,

Proper to madmen, led his powers to death,
And, winking, leap'd into destruction.

262

Whilst lions war, and battle for their dens,
Poor harmless lambs abide their enmity.

263

Our countrymen

19-i. 3.

23-ii. 5.

Are men more order'd, than when Julius Cæsar Smiled at their lack of skill, but found their courage Worthy his frowning at: Their discipline

(Now mingled with their courages) will make known To their approvers, they are people, such That mend upon the world.

264

31-ii. 4.

A fellow

That never set a squadron in the field,

Nor the division of a battle knows

More than a spinster; unless the bookish theoric,
Wherein the toged consuls can propose

As masterly as he mere prattle, without practice,
Is all his soldiership.

265

37-i. I.

The gallant militarist, that had the whole theoric of war in the knot of his scarf, and the practice in the chapet of his dagger. 11-iv. 3.

266

Captain! thou abominable cheater, art thou not ashamed to be called-captain? If captains were of my mind, they would truncheon you out, for taking their names upon you before you have earned them. You a captain, you slave! for what?

267

19-ii. 4.

That such a slave as this should wear a sword,
Who wears no honesty!

Theory.

34-ii.2.

The point of the scabbard.
