A traveller! By my faith, you have great reason to be sad. I fear you have sold your own lands to see other men’s;

You have great reason to do Richard right,

As You Like It 4.1: 12

And your experience makes you sad. I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad — and to travel for it too!
10

Midsummer Night's Dream 4.1: 20

Much Ado About Nothing 5.2: 16

I mean in singing; but in loving, Leander the good swimmer, Troilus the first employer of pandars, and a whole bookful of these quondam carpet-mongers, whose names yet run smoothly in the even road of a blank verse, why, they were never so truly turn’d over and over as my poor self in love.
10

Hamlet 2.2: 234

... tribute on me, the adventerous knight shall use his foil and target, the lover shall not sigh gratis, the humorous man shall end his part in peace, the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle a’ th’ sere, and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt for’t. What players are they?

Merry Wives of Windsor 3.5: 4

Have I liv’d to be carried in a basket like a barrow of butcher’s offal? And to be thrown in the Thames? Well, and I be serv’d such another trick, I’ll have my brains ta’en out and butter’d, and give them to a dog for a new-year’s gift. The rogues slighted me into the river with as little remorse as they would have drown’d a blind bitch’s puppies, fifteen i’ th’ litter; and you may know by my size that ...

As You Like It 4.1: 18

Break an hour’s promise in love! He that will divide a minute into a thousand parts, and break but a part of the thousand part of a minute in the affairs of love, it may be said of him that Cupid hath clapp’d him o’ th’ shoulder, but I’ll warrant him heart-whole.

Into a thousand parts divide one man,

Romeo and Juliet 2.5: 38

... a man. Romeo! No, not he. Though his face be better than any man’s, yet his leg excels all men’s, and for a hand and a foot and a body, though they be not to be talk’d on, yet they are past compare. He is not the flower of courtesy, but I’ll warrant him, as gentle as a lamb.

... underhand means labor’d to dissuade him from it; but he is resolute. I’ll tell thee, Charles, it is the stubbornest young fellow of France, full of ambition, an envious emulator of every man’s good parts, a secret and villainous contriver against me his natural brother; therefore use thy discretion — I had as lief thou didst break his neck as his finger. And thou wert best look to’t; for if thou dost him any slight disgrace, or if he do not mightily grace himself on thee, he will practice against thee by poison, entrap thee by some treacherous device, and never leave thee till ...

Ay, of a snail; for though he comes slowly, he carries his house on his head; a better jointure I think than you make a woman. Besides, he brings his destiny with him. [continues next]

Measure for Measure 1.2: 17

And thou the velvet — thou art good velvet; thou’rt a three-pil’d piece, I warrant thee. I had as lief be a list of an English kersey as be pil’d, as thou art pil’d, for a French velvet. Do I speak feelingly now?
10

Measure for Measure 1.2: 77

If I 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 mortality of imprisonment. What’s thy offense, Claudio?
11

Merry Wives of Windsor 3.1: 35

Got’s will, and his passion of my heart! I had as lief you would tell me of a mess of porridge.

I had as lief trace this good action with you

Henry V 3.7: 23

Be warn’d by me then: they that ride so, and ride not warily, fall into foul bogs. I had rather have my horse to my mistress.

Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently, for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness. O, it offends me to the ...

Now in the rearward comes the Duke and his.

Fortune in favor makes him lag behind.

And I am your Rosalind.

As You Like It 4.1: 36

Not out of your apparel, and yet out of your suit. Am not I your Rosalind?

As You Like It 4.1: 27

It pleases him to call you so; but he hath a Rosalind of a better leer than you.

Richard II 1.4: 3

I brought high Herford, if you call him so,

Richard II 1.4: 4

But to the next high way, and there I left him.

Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in a holiday humor, and like enough to consent. What would you say to me now, and I were your very very Rosalind?

Comedy of Errors 1.2: 58

I am not in a sportive humor now:

I would kiss before I spoke.
10

King John 1.1: 155

Nay, I would have you go before me thither. [continues next]
10

As You Like It 4.1: 30

Nay, you were better speak first, and when you were gravell’d for lack of matter, you might take occasion to kiss. Very good orators when they are out, they will spit, and for lovers lacking (God warn us!) matter, the cleanliest shift is to kiss.
10

King John 1.1: 155

[continues previous] Nay, I would have you go before me thither.

King Lear 2.2: 100

Why, madam, if I were your father’s dog,

King Lear 2.2: 101

You should not use me so. Sir, being his knave, I will.

And I am your Rosalind.
10

As You Like It 4.1: 39

Then in mine own person, I die.
10

Coriolanus 5.6: 35

In mine own person; holp to reap the fame
13

As You Like It 4.1: 40

No, faith, die by attorney. The poor world is almost six thousand years old, and in all this time there was not any man died in his own person, videlicet, in a love-cause. Troilus had his brains dash’d out with a Grecian club, yet he did what he could to die before, and he is one of the patterns of love. Leander, he would have liv’d many a fair year though Hero had turn’d nun, if it had not been for a hot midsummer night;
10

Merry Wives of Windsor 5.5: 119

I came yonder at Eton to marry Mistress Anne Page, and she’s a great lubberly boy. If it had not been i’ th’ church, I would have swing’d him, or he should have swing’d me. If I did not think it had been Anne Page, would I might never stir! — and ’tis a postmaster’s boy.
10

Much Ado About Nothing 1.1: 75

I would scarce trust myself, though I had sworn the contrary, if Hero would be my wife.

Macbeth 1.7: 58

By this hand, it will not kill a fly. But come, now I will be your Rosalind in a more coming-on disposition; and ask me what you will, I will grant it.

Taming of the Shrew 2.1: 6

Or what you will command me will I do,

And thou wilt have me die assur’d of it.

Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing? Come, sister, you shall be the priest, and marry us. Give me your hand, Orlando. What do you say, sister?

11

King John 3.1: 226

And tell me how you would bestow yourself.
14

As You Like It 4.1: 66

Say “a day,” without the “ever.” No, no, Orlando, men are April when they woo, December when they wed; maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives. I will be more jealous of thee than a Barbary cock-pigeon over his hen, more clamorous than a parrot against rain, more new-fangled than an ape, more giddy in my desires than a monkey. I will weep for nothing, like Diana in the fountain, and I will do that when you are dispos’d to be merry. I will laugh like a hyen, and that when thou art inclin’d to sleep.
14

Tempest 1.2: 185

Thou art inclin’d to sleep; ’tis a good dullness,
10

Henry IV Part 1 2.4: 45

That ever this fellow should have fewer words than a parrot, and yet the son of a woman! His industry is up stairs and down stairs, his eloquence the parcel of a reckoning. I am not yet of Percy’s mind, the Hotspur of the north, he that kills me some six or seven dozen of Scots at a breakfast, washes his ...
10

As You Like It 4.1: 74

Marry, to say she came to seek you there. You shall never take her without her answer, unless you take her without her tongue. O, that woman that cannot make her fault her husband’s occasion, let her never nurse her child herself, for she will breed it like a fool!
10

Merry Wives of Windsor 4.1: 38

Vengeance of Jinny’s case! Fie on her! Never name her, child, if she be a whore.
10

As You Like It 4.1: 77

I must attend the Duke at dinner. By two a’ clock I will be with thee again.

Henry IV Part 1 2.1: 13

I think it be two a’ clock.
10

Henry IV Part 1 2.1: 14

I prithee lend me thy lantern, to see my gelding in the stable.
11

As You Like It 4.1: 78

Ay, go your ways, go your ways; I knew what you would prove; my friends told me as much, and I thought no less. That flattering tongue of yours won me. ’Tis but one cast away, and so come death! Two a’ clock is your hour?
10

Double Falsehood 2.3: 113

... needs be married to one, that will none of you? You will be happy no body’s way but your own, forsooth. But, d’ye mark me, spare your tongue for the future; (and that’s using you hardly too, to bid you spare what you have a great deal too much of) go, go your ways, and d’ye hear, get ready within these two days to be married to a husband you don’t deserve. Do it, or, by my dead father’s soul, you are no acquaintance of mine.
10

Comedy of Errors 2.1: 3

Sure, Luciana, it is two a’ clock.

Henry V 3 Prologue: 2

As You Like It 4.1: 80

By my troth, and in good earnest, and so God mend me, and by all pretty oaths that are not dangerous, if you break one jot of your promise, or come one minute behind your hour, I will think you the most pathetical break-promise, and the most hollow lover, and the most unworthy ...

Well, Time is the old justice that examines all such offenders, and let Time try. Adieu.

Henry V 3.6: 46

We would have all such offenders so cut off; and we give express charge that in our marches through the country there be nothing compell’d from the villages; nothing taken but paid for; none of the French upbraided or abus’d in disdainful language; for when lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is ...
12

As You Like It 4.1: 83

You have simply misus’d our sex in your love-prate. We must have your doublet and hose pluck’d over your head, and show the world what the bird hath done to her own nest.
11

As You Like It 2.4: 3

I could find in my heart to disgrace my man’s apparel and to cry like a woman; but I must comfort the weaker vessel, as doublet and hose ought to show itself courageous to petticoat; therefore courage, good Aliena.
11

As You Like It 3.2: 117

Good my complexion, dost thou think, though I am caparison’d like a man, I have a doublet and hose in my disposition? One inch of delay more is a South-sea of discovery. I prithee tell me who is it quickly, and speak apace. I would thou couldst stammer, that thou mightst pour this conceal’d man out of thy mouth, as wine comes out of a narrow-mouth’d bottle, either too ...
11

As You Like It 3.2: 127

Alas the day, what shall I do with my doublet and hose? What did he when thou saw’st him? What said he? How look’d he?
12

Merry Wives of Windsor 3.1: 27

And youthful still, in your doublet and hose, this raw rheumatic day?
11

Merry Wives of Windsor 3.3: 15

Thou’rt a good boy. This secrecy of thine shall be a tailor to thee, and shall make thee a new doublet and hose. I’ll go hide me.

Much Ado About Nothing 5.1: 153
