1 |
I,2,177 |
Yonder man is carried to prison.
|
2 |
I,2,179 |
A woman.
|
3 |
I,2,181 |
Groping for trouts in a peculiar river.
|
4 |
I,2,183 |
No, but there's a woman with maid by him. You have
not heard of the proclamation, have you?
|
5 |
I,2,186 |
All houses in the suburbs of Vienna must be plucked down.
|
6 |
I,2,188 |
They shall stand for seed: they had gone down too,
but that a wise burgher put in for them.
|
7 |
I,2,192 |
To the ground, mistress.
|
8 |
I,2,195 |
Come; fear you not: good counsellors lack no
clients: though you change your place, you need not
change your trade; I'll be your tapster still.
Courage! there will be pity taken on you: you that
have worn your eyes almost out in the service, you
will be considered.
|
9 |
I,2,202 |
Here comes Signior Claudio, led by the provost to
prison; and there's Madam Juliet.
|
10 |
II,1,515 |
He cannot, sir; he's out at elbow.
|
11 |
II,1,536 |
Sir, if it please your honour, this is not so.
|
12 |
II,1,540 |
Sir, she came in great with child; and longing,
saving your honour's reverence, for stewed prunes;
sir, we had but two in the house, which at that very
distant time stood, as it were, in a fruit-dish, a
dish of some three-pence; your honours have seen
such dishes; they are not China dishes, but very
good dishes,—
|
13 |
II,1,548 |
No, indeed, sir, not of a pin; you are therein in
the right: but to the point. As I say, this
Mistress Elbow, being, as I say, with child, and
being great-bellied, and longing, as I said, for
prunes; and having but two in the dish, as I said,
Master Froth here, this very man, having eaten the
rest, as I said, and, as I say, paying for them very
honestly; for, as you know, Master Froth, I could
not give you three-pence again.
|
14 |
II,1,558 |
Very well: you being then, if you be remembered,
cracking the stones of the foresaid prunes,—
|
15 |
II,1,561 |
Why, very well; I telling you then, if you be
remembered, that such a one and such a one were past
cure of the thing you wot of, unless they kept very
good diet, as I told you,—
|
16 |
II,1,566 |
Why, very well, then,—
|
17 |
II,1,570 |
Sir, your honour cannot come to that yet.
|
18 |
II,1,572 |
Sir, but you shall come to it, by your honour's
leave. And, I beseech you, look into Master Froth
here, sir; a man of four-score pound a year; whose
father died at Hallowmas: was't not at Hallowmas,
Master Froth?
|
19 |
II,1,578 |
Why, very well; I hope here be truths. He, sir,
sitting, as I say, in a lower chair, sir; 'twas in
the Bunch of Grapes, where indeed you have a delight
to sit, have you not?
|
20 |
II,1,583 |
Why, very well, then; I hope here be truths.
|
21 |
II,1,591 |
Once, sir? there was nothing done to her once.
|
22 |
II,1,593 |
I beseech your honour, ask me.
|
23 |
II,1,595 |
I beseech you, sir, look in this gentleman's face.
Good Master Froth, look upon his honour; 'tis for a
good purpose. Doth your honour mark his face?
|
24 |
II,1,599 |
Nay; I beseech you, mark it well.
|
25 |
II,1,601 |
Doth your honour see any harm in his face?
|
26 |
II,1,603 |
I'll be supposed upon a book, his face is the worst
thing about him. Good, then; if his face be the
worst thing about him, how could Master Froth do the
constable's wife any harm? I would know that of
your honour.
|
27 |
II,1,612 |
By this hand, sir, his wife is a more respected
person than any of us all.
|
28 |
II,1,617 |
Sir, she was respected with him before he married with her.
|
29 |
II,1,642 |
Tapster; a poor widow's tapster.
|
30 |
II,1,644 |
Mistress Overdone.
|
31 |
II,1,646 |
Nine, sir; Overdone by the last.
|
32 |
II,1,659 |
Pompey.
|
33 |
II,1,661 |
Bum, sir.
|
34 |
II,1,667 |
Truly, sir, I am a poor fellow that would live.
|
35 |
II,1,670 |
If the law would allow it, sir.
|
36 |
II,1,673 |
Does your worship mean to geld and splay all the
youth of the city?
|
37 |
II,1,676 |
Truly, sir, in my poor opinion, they will to't then.
If your worship will take order for the drabs and
the knaves, you need not to fear the bawds.
|
38 |
II,1,681 |
If you head and hang all that offend that way but
for ten year together, you'll be glad to give out a
commission for more heads: if this law hold in
Vienna ten year, I'll rent the fairest house in it
after three-pence a bay: if you live to see this
come to pass, say Pompey told you so.
|
39 |
II,1,694 |
I thank your worship for your good counsel:
[Aside]
but I shall follow it as the flesh and fortune shall
better determine.
Whip me? No, no; let carman whip his jade:
The valiant heart is not whipt out of his trade.
|
40 |
III,2,1518 |
'Twas never merry world since, of two usuries, the
merriest was put down, and the worser allowed by
order of law a furred gown to keep him warm; and
furred with fox and lamb-skins too, to signify, that
craft, being richer than innocency, stands for the facing.
|
41 |
III,2,1539 |
Indeed, it does stink in some sort, sir; but yet,
sir, I would prove—
|
42 |
III,2,1552 |
I spy comfort; I cry bail. Here's a gentleman and a
friend of mine.
|
43 |
III,2,1568 |
Troth, sir, she hath eaten up all her beef, and she
is herself in the tub.
|
44 |
III,2,1574 |
Yes, faith, sir.
|
45 |
III,2,1584 |
I hope, sir, your good worship will be my bail.
|
46 |
III,2,1592 |
You will not bail me, then, sir?
|
47 |
IV,2,1887 |
If the man be a bachelor, sir, I can; but if he be a
married man, he's his wife's head, and I can never
cut off a woman's head.
|
48 |
IV,2,1899 |
Sir, I have been an unlawful bawd time out of mind;
but yet I will be content to be a lawful hangman. I
would be glad to receive some instruction from my
fellow partner.
|
49 |
IV,2,1915 |
Pray, sir, by your good favour,—for surely, sir, a
good favour you have, but that you have a hanging
look,—do you call, sir, your occupation a mystery?
|
50 |
IV,2,1919 |
Painting, sir, I have heard say, is a mystery; and
your whores, sir, being members of my occupation,
using painting, do prove my occupation a mystery:
but what mystery there should be in hanging, if I
should be hanged, I cannot imagine.
|
51 |
IV,2,1925 |
Proof?
|
52 |
IV,2,1933 |
Sir, I will serve him; for I do find your hangman is
a more penitent trade than your bawd; he doth
oftener ask forgiveness.
|
53 |
IV,2,1939 |
I do desire to learn, sir: and I hope, if you have
occasion to use me for your own turn, you shall find
me yare; for truly, sir, for your kindness I owe you
a good turn.
|
54 |
IV,3,2117 |
I am as well acquainted here as I was in our house
of profession: one would think it were Mistress
Overdone's own house, for here be many of her old
customers. First, here's young Master Rash; he's in
for a commodity of brown paper and old ginger,
ninescore and seventeen pounds; of which he made
five marks, ready money: marry, then ginger was not
much in request, for the old women were all dead.
Then is there here one Master Caper, at the suit of
Master Three-pile the mercer, for some four suits of
peach-coloured satin, which now peaches him a
beggar. Then have we here young Dizy, and young
Master Deep-vow, and Master Copperspur, and Master
Starve-lackey the rapier and dagger man, and young
Drop-heir that killed lusty Pudding, and Master
Forthlight the tilter, and brave Master Shooty the
great traveller, and wild Half-can that stabbed
Pots, and, I think, forty more; all great doers in
our trade, and are now 'for the Lord's sake.'
|
55 |
IV,3,2138 |
Master Barnardine! you must rise and be hanged.
Master Barnardine!
|
56 |
IV,3,2143 |
Your friends, sir; the hangman. You must be so
good, sir, to rise and be put to death.
|
57 |
IV,3,2147 |
Pray, Master Barnardine, awake till you are
executed, and sleep afterwards.
|
58 |
IV,3,2150 |
He is coming, sir, he is coming; I hear his straw rustle.
|
59 |
IV,3,2152 |
Very ready, sir.
|
60 |
IV,3,2159 |
O, the better, sir; for he that drinks all night,
and is hanged betimes in the morning, may sleep the
sounder all the next day.
