lately spoke of him admiringly and mourningly: he...

5

I,1,32

Yes, but you will my noble grapes, an if...

16

II,1,680

Why, Doctor She: my lord, there's one arrived,
If you will see her: now, by my faith and honour,...

Not to be helped,—

26

II,3,910

Very hand of heaven.

31

II,3,924

In a most weak—
[pausing]...

32

II,3,935

Lustig, as the Dutchman says: I'll like a maid the
better, whilst I have a tooth in my head: why, he's...

33

II,3,939

'Fore God, I think so.

34

II,3,954

I'ld give bay Curtal and his furniture,
My mouth no more were broken than these boys',...

35

II,3,976

I had rather be in this choice than throw ames-ace
for my life.

36

II,3,985

Do all they deny her? An they were sons of mine,
I'd have them whipped; or I would send them to the...

48

II,3,1121

Yes, good faith, every dram of it; and I will not
bate thee a scruple.

49

II,3,1124

Even as soon as thou canst, for thou hast to pull at
a smack o' the contrary. If ever thou be'st bound...

50

II,3,1131

I would it were hell-pains for thy sake, and my poor
doing eternal: for doing I am past: as I will by...

51

II,3,1143

Sirrah, your lord and master's married; there's news
for you: you have a new mistress.

52

II,3,1148

Who? God?

kernel out of a pomegranate; you are a vagabond and...

and all, like him that leaped into the custard; and...

prayers. Fare you well, my lord; and believe this...

fellow there, whose villanous saffron would have...

65

IV,5,2476

'Twas a good lady, 'twas a good lady: we may pick a
thousand salads ere we light on such another herb.

66

IV,5,2480

They are not herbs, you knave; they are nose-herbs.

67

IV,5,2483

Whether dost thou profess thyself, a knave or a fool?

68

IV,5,2485

Your distinction?

69

IV,5,2487

So you were a knave at his service, indeed.

70

IV,5,2489

to suggest thee from thy master thou talkest of;...

IV,5,2512

tell thee so before, because I would not fall out...

tell you, since I heard of the good lady's death and...

body as when he numbered thirty: he will be here...

79

IV,5,2544

Madam, I was thinking with what manners I might
safely be admitted.

80

IV,5,2547

Lady, of that I have made a bold charter; but I
thank my God it holds yet.

81

IV,5,2555

A scar nobly got, or a noble scar, is a good livery
of honour; so belike is that.

82

IV,5,2558

Let us go see your son, I pray you: I long to talk
with the young noble soldier.

83

V,2,2644

And what would you have me to do? 'Tis too late to
pare her nails now. Wherein have you played the...

84

V,2,2652

You beg a single penny more: come, you shall ha't;
save your word.

85

V,2,2655

V,3,2877

Your reputation comes too short for my daughter; you
are no husband for her.

94

V,3,2908

I saw the man to-day, if man he be.

95

V,3,2964

He's a good drum, my lord, but a naughty orator.

96

V,3,2991
