Henry VI, Part III
[II, 1] |
Richard III (Duke of Gloucester) |
724 |
Great Lord of Warwick, if we should recount
Our baleful news, and at each word's deliverance
Stab poniards in our flesh till all were told,
The words would add more anguish than the wounds.
O valiant lord, the Duke of York is slain!

King Lear
[IV, 4] |
Doctor |
2527 |
There is means, madam.
Our foster nurse of nature is repose,
The which he lacks. That to provoke in him
Are many simples operative, whose power
Will close the eye of anguish.

King Lear

Edgar |

Why, then, your other senses grow imperfect
By your eyes' anguish.

Midsummer Night's Dream
[V, 1] |
Theseus |
1864 |
Come now; what masques, what dances shall we have,
To wear away this long age of three hours
Between our after-supper and bed-time?
Where is our usual manager of mirth?
What revels are in hand? Is there no play,
To ease the anguish of a torturing hour?
Call Philostrate.

Othello
[V, 2] |
Lodovico |

[To IAGO] O Spartan dog,
More fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea!
Look on the tragic loading of this bed;
This is thy work: the object poisons sight;
Let it be hid. Gratiano, keep the house,
And seize upon the fortunes of the Moor,
For they succeed on you. To you, lord governor,
Remains the censure of this hellish villain;
The time, the place, the torture: O, enforce it!
Myself will straight aboard: and to the state
This heavy act with heavy heart relate.

Richard III
[IV, 4] |
Duchess of York |

Art thou so hasty? I have stay'd for thee,
God knows, in anguish, pain and agony.

Romeo and Juliet
[I, 2] |
Benvolio |

Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning,
One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish;
Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning;
One desperate grief cures with another's languish:
Take thou some new infection to thy eye,
And the rank poison of the old will die.
