For our case is as theirs.

Beseech you, sir, be merry; you have cause,
So have we all, of joy; for our escape...

9

II,1,720

Sir,—

10

II,1,722

When every grief is entertain'd that's offer'd,
Comes to the entertainer—

14

II,1,753

beyond credit,—

17

II,1,764

That our garments, being, as they were, drenched in
the sea, hold notwithstanding their freshness and...

put them on first in Afric, at the marriage of...

as fresh as when we were at Tunis at the marriage...

24

II,1,802

Is not, sir, my doublet as fresh as the first day I
wore it? I mean, in a sort.

25

II,1,805

When I wore it at your daughter's marriage?

26

II,1,841

My lord Sebastian,
The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness...

27

II,1,847

It is foul weather in us all, good sir,
When you are cloudy.

28

II,1,851

Had I plantation of this isle, my lord,—

29

II,1,854

II,1,856

I' the commonwealth I would by contraries
Execute all things; for no kind of traffic...

II,1,869

Without sweat or endeavour: treason, felony,...

To excel the golden age.

to you: so you may continue and laugh at...

my discretion so weakly. Will you laugh...

Now, good angels
Preserve the king.

39

II,1,1056

What's the matter?

40

II,1,1066

Upon mine honour, sir, I heard a humming,
And that a strange one too, which did awake me:...

41

II,1,1074

Heavens keep him from these beasts!
For he is, sure, i' the island.

42

III,3,1554

My old bones ache: here's a maze trod indeed...

Like poison given to work a great time after,...

V,1,2157

Whether this be
Or be not, I'll not swear.
