The milk of human kindness?

If I could find example

Of thousands that had struck anointed kings
And flourish'd after, I'd not do't: but since
Nor brass, nor stone, nor parchment, bears not one,
Let villany itself forswear't.

SHAKSPERE.-Winter's Tale, Act I. Scene 2.

What earthly name to interrogatories,
Can task the free breath of a sacred king?

Shall tithe or toll in our dominions;
But as we under heaven are supreme head,
So, under him, that great supremacy,
Where we do reign, we will alone uphold,
Without the assistance of a mortal hand:
So tell the Pope

SHAKSPERE.-King Lear, Act IV. Scene 6.
(The King to Gloster.)

The wisest sovereigns err like private men,
And royal hand has sometimes laid the sword
Of chivalry upon a worthless shoulder,

Which better had been branded by the hangman.
What then? Kings do their best-and they and we
Must answer for the intent, and not the event.

SCOTT.-Kenilworth, Chap. XXXII.

Here lies our sovereign lord the king,
Whose word no man relies on;

Who never says a foolish thing,

And never does a wise one.

Kings may be blessed, but Tam was glorious,
O'er a' the ills o' life victorious.

Byrom.)

And every kingdom hath a grave.

Ere I could

Give him that parting kiss, which I had set
Betwixt two charming words, comes in my father,
And, like the tyrannous breathing of the north,
Shakes all our buds from growing.

SHAKSPERE.-Cymbeline, Act I. Scene 4.
(Imogen to Pisanio )

While now her bending neck she plies
Backward to meet the burning kiss,
Then with an easy cruelty denies,

Yet wishes you would snatch, not ask the bliss.
FRANCIS' Horace, Ode XII. Line 25.

Once more for Pity; that I may keep the
Flavour upon my lips till we meet again.

KITTEN.

DRYDEN.-Don Sebastian, Act III. Scene 2.

I'm glad of 't, with all my heart:

I had rather be a kitten and cry mew,
Than one of these same metre ballad mongers;

I had rather hear a brazen candlestick turn'd,

Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree;

And that would set my teeth nothing on edge,
Nothing so much as mincing poetry;

"Tis like the forc'd gait of a shuffling nag.

Scene 1. (Hotspur to Glendower.)

KNAVE.—Knavery's plain face is never seen till used.
