As who should say I were but timorous.

I’ll do any thing now that is virtuous, but I am out of the road of rutting forever.
10

Merchant of Venice 1.1: 114

10

Troilus and Cressida 1.2: 80

Why, you know ’tis dimpled. I think his smiling becomes him better than any man in all Phrygia.

And she is fair and, fairer than that word,
10

Edward III 1.2: 98

Hath she been fairer, Warwick, than she is?
13

Edward III 2.1: 85

Devise for fair a fairer word than fair,

Edward III 2.1: 86

And every ornament that thou wouldest praise,
10

Love's Labour's Lost 4.1: 58

“By heaven, that thou art fair, is most infallible; true, that thou art beauteous; truth itself, that thou art lovely. More fairer than fair, beautiful than beauteous, truer than truth itself, have commiseration on thy heroical vassal!

Sonnet 107: 1

Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul

Sonnet 107: 2

Of the wide world, dreaming on things to come,
