I pr'ythee now, my fon,
Go to them, with this bonnet in thy hand,
And thus far having firetch'd it, here be with them,
Thy knee buffing the ftones; for in fuch bufinefs
Action is eloquence, and the eyes of th' ignoranth
More learned than the ears; waving thy head,
Which often, thus, correcting thy ftout heart,
Now humble as the ripeft mulberry, WA
That will not hold the handling; or fay to them;
Thou art their foldier, and being bred in broils,
Haft not the foft way, which thou doft confefs
Were fit for thee to ufe, as they to claim, da
In afking their good loves; but thou wilt frame
Thyfelf, forfooth, hereafter theirs fo far,
As thou haft power and perfon. Coriolanus, A.3. Sc. 5.
O thou! whofe captain I account myself,
Look on my forces with a gracious eye;
Put in their hands thy bruifing irons of wrath,
That they may crush down with a heavy fall
Th' ufurping helmets of our adverfaries!
Make us thy minifters of chaftifement,
That we may praife thee in thy victory.
To thee I do commend my watchful foul,
Ere I'let fall the windows of mine eyes;
Sleeping and waking, oh, defend me ftill!
King Richard III. A. 5. Sc. 3.
With the consent of fupreme Jove, inform
Thy thoughts with noblenefs, that thou may'ft prove
To fhame invulnerable, and stick i' th' wars
Like a great fea-mark, ftanding every flaw,
And faving thofe that eye thee!
For Heaven now bids me : and the words I utter
Let none think flattery, for they'll find 'em truth.
This Royal Infant, heav'n ftill move about her!
Though in her cradle, yet now promifes
Upon this land a thousand thoufand bleffings,
Which time shall bring to ripenefs. She shall be
(But few or none living can behold that goodness)
A pattern to all princes living with her,
And all that fhall fucceed. Sheba was never
More covetous of wisdom and fair virtue,
Than this bleft foul fhould be. All princely graces,
That mould up fuch a mighty piece as this,
With all the virtues that attend the good,
Shall ftill be doubled on her. Truth fhall nurfe her; Holy and heav'nly thoughts ftill counfel her:
She fhall be lov'd and fear'd. Her own fhall blefs her;" Her foes fhake, like a field of beaten corn,
And hang their heads with forrow. Good grows with
In her days, ev'ry man fhall eat in fafety,
Under his own vine, what he plants; and fing
The merry fongs of peace to all his neighbours.
God fhall be truly known; and thofe about her
From her fhall read the perfect ways of honour,
And claim by thofe their greatnefs, not by blood."
Nor fhall this peace fleep with her; but as, when
The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phoenix,
Her afhes new-create another heir,
As great in admiration as herself;
So fhall the leave her bleffedness to one, noituulib 02
When heav'n fhall call her from this cloud of darkness,
Who from the facred afhes of her honour
Shall ftar-like rife, as great in fame as the was,
And fo ftand fix'd. Peace, Plenty, Love, Truth, Terror,
That were the fervants to this chofen infant,ol avad I
Shall then be his, and like a vine grow to him ov
Where-ever the bright fun of heav'n fhall fhine,viol
His honour and the greatnefs of his name
Shall be, and make new nations. He fhall flourish,od
And, like a mountain cedar, reach his branches woM
To all the plains about him: children's childrensɔ I

HOT Like a dull actor
I have forgot my part, and I am out,
Even to a full difgrace. Beft of my flesh,
Forgive my tyranny; but do not fay, sus
For that, forgive our Romans.-O, a kifs
Long as my exile, fweet as my revenge!
Now, by the jealous queen of heav'n, that kifs
I carried from thee, dear; and my true lip
Hath virgin'd it e'er fince.-Ye Gods, I prate;
And the most noble mother of the world
Leave unfaluted: fink my knees i' th' earth;
Of thy deep duty more impreffion fhew

Why have you ftol'n upon us thus? You come not
Like Cafar's fifter; the wife of Antony
Should have an army
The neighs of horfe to tell of her approach,
Long ere the did appear: the trees by th' way
Tere
Should have borne men, and expectation fainted,
Longing
ing for what it had not: nay, the duft
Should have afcended to the roof of heav'n,
Rais'd by your populous troops. But you are come
A market-maid to Rome, and have prevented
The oftentation of our love; which, left unfhewn,
Is often left unlov'd: we should have met you
By fea and land, fupplying every stage
With an augmented greeting.

Hold thee, from this, for ever. The barb'rous Scythian,
