But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on,
Leaving no tract behind.

Cymbeline
[II, 3]

Imogen

1125

Profane fellow
Wert thou the son of Jupiter and no more
But what thou art besides, thou wert too base
To be his groom: thou wert dignified enough,
Even to the point of envy, if 'twere made
Comparative for your virtues, to be styled
The under-hangman of his kingdom, and hated
For being preferred so well.

Cymbeline
[III, 6]

Guiderius

Were you a woman, youth,
I should woo hard but be your groom. In honesty,
I bid for you as I'd buy.
