LUCIO
If could speak so wisely under an arrest, I would send for certain of my creditors: and yet, to say the truth, I had as lief have the foppery of freedom as the morality of imprisonment. What's thy offence, Claudio?
ROMEO
Ay, so I fear; the more is my unrest.
CORIOLANUS
Ha!
CORIOLANUS
Come, leave your tears: a brief farewell: the beast With many heads butts me away. Nay, mother, Where is your ancient courage? you were used To say extremity was the trier of spirits; That common chances common men could bear; That when the sea was calm all boats alike Show'd mastership in floating; fortune's blows, When most struck home, being gentle wounded, craves A noble cunning: you were used to load me With precepts that would make invincible The heart that conn'd them.
KING EDWARD IV
Hold, Richard, hold; for we have done too much.
All Citizens
Amen, amen. God save thee, noble consul!
CORIOLANUS
At Antium lives he?
FLORIZEL
My good Camillo, She is as forward of her breeding as She is i' the rear our birth.
QUEEN ELIZABETH
So long as hell and Richard likes of it.
Huntsman
This way, my lord; for this way lies the game.
PERDITA
I see the play so lies That I must bear a part.
LEONTES
I think so. Kill'd! She I kill'd! I did so: but thou strikest me Sorely, to say I did; it is as bitter Upon thy tongue as in my thought: now, good now, Say so but seldom.
GREMIO
Saving your tale, Petruchio, I pray,
QUEEN ELIZABETH
You have no cause.
