That, as thou liv’dst a man, thou diest no less.
10

Timon of Athens 4.3: 309

... If thou wert the lion, the fox would beguile thee; if thou wert the lamb, the fox would eat thee; if thou wert the fox, the lion would suspect thee, when peradventure thou wert accus’d by the ass; if thou wert the ass, thy dullness would torment thee, and still thou liv’dst but as a breakfast to the wolf; if thou wert the wolf, thy greediness would afflict thee, and oft thou shouldst hazard thy life for thy dinner; wert thou the unicorn, pride and wrath would confound thee and make thine own self the conquest of thy fury; wert thou a bear, thou wouldst ...

10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 53

I must confess, I had no ill intent,
10

Sir Thomas More 5.1: 37

Poor silly wretch, I must confess indeed,
10

Sir Thomas More 5.1: 38

I had such writings as concern thee near;
10

Pericles 4.6: 62

That I came with no ill intent, for to me
12

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 55

And now I can perceive it was not fit
12

King Lear 3.5: 3

I now perceive, it was not altogether your brother’s evil disposition made him seek his death; but a provoking merit, set a-work by a reprovable badness in himself.
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 68

Fare ye well, all. The next time that we meet,
10

Troilus and Cressida 3.3: 271

Fare ye well, with all my heart.
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 71

Thou liv’dst a good fellow, and diedst an honest man.
10

Cymbeline 3.5: 109

It is Posthumus’ hand, I know’t. Sirrah, if thou wouldst not be a villain, but do me true service, undergo those employments wherein I should have cause to use thee with a serious industry, that is, what villainy soe’er I bid thee do, to perform it directly and truly, I would think thee an honest man. Thou shouldst neither want my means for thy relief nor my voice for thy preferment. [continues next]
10

Hamlet 2.2: 173

Then I would you were so honest a man. [continues next]
10

Troilus and Cressida 5.1: 33

With too much blood and too little brain, these two may run mad, but, if with too much brain and too little blood they do, I’ll be a curer of madmen. Here’s Agamemnon, an honest fellow enough, and one that loves quails, but he has not so much brain as ear-wax; and the goodly transformation of Jupiter there, his brother, the bull, the primitive statue and oblique memorial of cuckolds, a thrifty shoeing-horn in a chain, hanging at his brother’s leg — to what form but that he ...
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 72

Would I wear so fair on my journey! The first stretch is the worst, methinks.
10

Cymbeline 3.5: 109

[continues previous] It is Posthumus’ hand, I know’t. Sirrah, if thou wouldst not be a villain, but do me true service, undergo those employments wherein I should have cause to use thee with a serious industry, that is, what villainy soe’er I bid thee do, to perform it directly and truly, I would think thee an honest man.

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 74

Good Master Sheriff, I have an earnest suit,
10

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 61

Good Master Sheriff, seek not my overthrow:
11

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 89

I will, good Master Sheriff, I assure ye.
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 88

Commend me to that good Sheriff Master More,
10

Sir Thomas More 5.4: 37

Ah, Master Sheriff, you and I have been of old acquaintance! You were a patient auditor of mine, when I read the divinity lecture at St. Lawrence’s.
11

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 78

Let me die next, sir; that is all I crave:
10

Henry IV Part 1 2.4: 73

What, fought you with them all? [continues next]
11

Henry IV Part 1 2.4: 74

All? I know not what you call all, but if I fought not with fifty of them, I am a bunch of radish. If there were not two or three and fifty upon poor old Jack, then am I no two-legg’d creature. [continues next]
11

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 79

You know not what a comfort you shall bring
11

Henry IV Part 1 2.4: 74

[continues previous] All? I know not what you call all, but if I fought not with fifty of them, I am a bunch of radish. If there were not two or three and fifty upon poor old Jack, then am I no two-legg’d creature.
11

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 88

Commend me to that good Sheriff Master More,
10

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 2

We may give ear to petty felonies.
10

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 3

Master Sheriff More, what is this fellow?
11

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 60

I will procure they pardon for that jest. [continues next]
11

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 61

Good Master Sheriff, seek not my overthrow: [continues next]
10

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 89

I will, good Master Sheriff, I assure ye.
10

Sir Thomas More 2.4: 160

Master Sheriff More, you have preserved the city
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 74

Good Master Sheriff, I have an earnest suit,
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 89

And tell him, had’t not been for his persuasion,
10

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 61

[continues previous] Good Master Sheriff, seek not my overthrow:
14

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 97

Well is he worthy of it, by my troth,
14

As You Like It 5.3: 4

By my troth, well met. Come, sit, sit, and a song. [continues next]
11

Much Ado About Nothing 3.5: 17

... talking; as they say, “When the age is in, the wit is out.” God help us, it is a world to see! Well said, i’ faith, neighbor Verges. Well, God’s a good man; and two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind. An honest soul, i’ faith, sir, by my troth he is, as ever broke bread; but God is to be worshipp’d; all men are not alike, alas, good neighbor! [continues next]
14

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 98

An honest, wise, well-spoken gentleman;
14

As You Like It 5.3: 3

[continues previous] Well met, honest gentleman.
11

Much Ado About Nothing 3.5: 17

[continues previous] ... old man, sir, he will be talking; as they say, “When the age is in, the wit is out.” God help us, it is a world to see! Well said, i’ faith, neighbor Verges. Well, God’s a good man; and two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind. An honest soul, i’ faith, sir, by my troth he is, as ever broke bread; but God is to be worshipp’d; all men are not alike, alas, good neighbor!
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 106

Because thou shalt be sure to taste no worse
10

Sir Thomas More 3.1: 88

And, for I will be sure thou shalt not shear,
10

Sir Thomas More 3.1: 89

Besides, because it is an odious sight

Taming of the Shrew 4.4: 32

To have him match’d; and if you please to like [continues next]
10

Taming of the Shrew 4.4: 33

No worse than I, upon some agreement [continues next]
10

Richard II 3.2: 120

And all goes worse than I have power to tell. [continues next]
10

King Lear 3.3: 3

Go to; say you nothing. There is division between the Dukes, and a worse matter than that. I have receiv’d a letter this night — ’tis dangerous to be spoken; I have lock’d the letter in my closet. These injuries the King now bears will be reveng’d home; there is part of a power already footed: we must incline to the King. I will ... [continues next]
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 107

Than I have taken that must go before thee.

Taming of the Shrew 4.4: 33

I have receiv’d a letter this night — ’tis dangerous to be spoken; I have lock’d the letter in my closet. These injuries the King now bears will be reveng’d home; there is part of a power already footed: we must incline to the King. I will look him and privily relieve ...
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 108

What though I be a woman? That’s no matter;
10

As You Like It 4.3: 24

She has a huswive’s hand — but that’s no matter. [continues next]
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 109

I do owe God a death, and I must pay him.
10

As You Like It 4.3: 25

[continues previous] I say she never did invent this letter,
10

Henry IV Part 2 3.2: 106

By my troth I care not; a man can die but once, we owe God a death. I’ll ne’er bear a base mind. And’t be my dest’ny, so; and’t be not, so. No man’s too good to serve ’s prince, and let it go which way it will, he that dies this year is quit for the next.
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 110

Husband, give me thy hand; be not dismayed;
10

All's Well That Ends Well 2.1: 179

Then shalt thou give me with thy kingly hand
10

All's Well That Ends Well 2.1: 180

What husband in thy power I will command.

Be pilot to me, and thy places shall

Julius Caesar 5.1: 73

Was Cassius born. Give me thy hand, Messala.
10

Julius Caesar 5.1: 74

Be thou my witness that against my will
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 111

This chair being chaired, then all our debt is paid.
10

Julius Caesar 3.1: 83

Fly not, stand still; ambition’s debt is paid.
11

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 112

Only two little babes we leave behind us,
11

Funeral Elegy: 195

What can we leave behind us but a name,
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 118

Why, well said, wife; i’faith, thou cheerest my heart:
10

Winter's Tale 1.2: 447

I saw his heart in ’s face. Give me thy hand, [continues next]
11

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 119

Give me thy hand; let’s kiss, and so let’s part.
10

Merry Wives of Windsor 3.1: 53

Peace, I say! Hear mine host of the Garter. Am I politic? Am I subtle? Am I a Machiavel? Shall I lose my doctor? No, he gives me the potions and the motions. Shall I lose my parson? My priest? My Sir Hugh? No, he gives me the proverbs and the no-verbs. Give me thy hand, terrestial; so. Give me thy hand, celestial; so. Boys of art, I have deceiv’d you both; I have directed you to wrong places. Your hearts are mighty, your skins are whole, and let burnt sack be the issue. Come, lay their swords to pawn. Follow me, lads of peace; follow, follow, follow.
10

Winter's Tale 1.2: 447

[continues previous] I saw his heart in ’s face. Give me thy hand,
11

Henry VIII 5.1: 116

In us, thy friend. Give me thy hand, stand up;
11

Henry VIII 5.1: 117

Prithee let’s walk. Now, by my holidame,
10

Antony and Cleopatra 4.8: 10

Wash the congealment from your wounds, and kiss
10

Antony and Cleopatra 4.8: 11

The honor’d gashes whole. Give me thy hand;
11

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 121

Now cheerily, lads! George Betts, a hand with thee;
11

Sir Thomas More 1.1: 44

Hold thee, George Betts, there’s my hand and my heart. By the Lord, I’ll make a captain among ye, and do somewhat to be talk of forever after.
11

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 127

And when that I am dead, for me yet say,
11

Pericles 2.1: 48

Which if you shall refuse, when I am dead,
11

Pericles 2.1: 49

For that I am a man, pray you see me buried.
11

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 130

It is too late, my lord; he’s dead already.
10

As You Like It 2.3: 74

But at fourscore it is too late a week;
10

Love's Labour's Lost 1.1: 108

So you, to study now it is too late,
10

Pericles 2.3: 112

Princes, it is too late to talk of love,
10

Henry VI Part 1 4.4: 1

It is too late, I cannot send them now.
10

King John 5.7: 1

It is too late, the life of all his blood
10

Hamlet 5.2: 207

It is the pois’ned cup, it is too late.
10

King Lear 5.3: 282

He’ll strike, and quickly too. He’s dead and rotten.
10

King Lear 5.3: 283

No, my good lord, I am the very man —
11

Othello 5.2: 83

But while I say one prayer! It is too late.
11

Othello 5.2: 84

O Lord, Lord, Lord!
11

Othello 5.2: 85

My lord, my lord!
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 131

I tell ye, Master Sheriff, you are too forward,
10

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 66

That is in England. I pray ye, Master Sheriff,
10

Sir Thomas More 1.2: 89

I will, good Master Sheriff, I assure ye.
10

Sir Thomas More 5.4: 37

Ah, Master Sheriff, you and I have been of old acquaintance! You were a patient auditor of mine, when I read the divinity lecture at St. Lawrence’s.
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 133

I think your pains will merit little thanks,
10

Much Ado About Nothing 5.4: 18

Friar, I must entreat your pains, I think.
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 138

It had not else been done so suddenly.
10

Double Falsehood 5.2: 51

Would grandsire time had been so kind to’ve done it;
10

Cymbeline 1.2: 16

Come, I’ll to my chamber. Would there had been some hurt done!
10

Cymbeline 1.2: 17

I wish not so, unless it had been the fall of an ass, which is no great hurt.
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 140

Did beg the lives of all, since on his word
10

Edward III 4.4: 155

Since all the lives his conquering arrows strike
10

Sir Thomas More 2.5: 142

And made him Lord High Chancellor of England.
10

Sir Thomas More 4.4: 159

Sir Thomas More, Lord Chancellor of England, I arrest you in the King’s name of high treason.
