Cardenio 5.2: 16

... pleasing art thou to us even in death! I love thee yet, above all women living, And shall do sev’n year hence. I can see nothing to be mended in thee But the too constant paleness of thy cheek. I‘d give the kingdom but to purchase there The breadth of a red rose in natural colour, And think it the best bargain that ever king made yet. But fate’s my hindrance, And I must only rest content with art; And that I’ll have in spite on’t. Is he come, sir?
10

Venus and Adonis: 115

Touch but my lips with those fair lips of thine

Sonnet 142: 5

Or if it do, not from those lips of thine,

Herbs for their smell, and sappy plants to bear:
12

Romeo and Juliet 2.3: 16

In plants, herbs, stones, and their true qualities;
12

Romeo and Juliet 2.3: 17

For nought so vile that on the earth doth live
10

Venus and Adonis: 169

Upon the earth’s increase why shouldst thou feed,
10

Theirs for the earth’s increase, mine for my sorrows?

By law of nature thou art bound to breed,

Thine eye darts forth the fire that burneth me,

Thy eye kindled the fire that burneth here,
11

Venus and Adonis: 199

Art thou obdurate, flinty, hard as steel?
10

Two Gentlemen of Verona 1.1: 113

... I could perceive nothing at all from her; no, not so much as a ducat for delivering your letter: and being so hard to me that brought your mind, I fear she’ll prove as hard to you in telling your mind. Give her no token but stones, for she’s as hard as steel.
11

Henry VI Part 3 1.4: 142

Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.

Merry Wives of Windsor 5.5: 1

... minute draws on. Now the hot-bloodied gods assist me! Remember, Jove, thou wast a bull for thy Europa, love set on thy horns. O powerful love, that in some respects makes a beast a man; in some other, a man a beast. You were also, Jupiter, a swan for the love of Leda. O omnipotent love, how near the god drew to the complexion of a goose! A fault done first in the form of a beast (O Jove, a beastly fault!) [continues next]

O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps,
11

Romeo and Juliet 3.3: 100

And now falls on her bed, and then starts up,

Venus and Adonis: 229

“Fondling,” she saith, “since I have hemm’d thee here
10

Troilus and Cressida 4.5: 193

Much Ado About Nothing 1.1: 50

With her the horse, and left Adonis there.
10

Taming of the Shrew 4.1: 29

Tell thou the tale. But hadst thou not cross’d me, thou shouldst have heard how her horse fell, and she under her horse; thou shouldst have heard in how miry a place, how she was bemoil’d, how he left her with the horse upon her, how he beat me because her horse stumbled, how she waded through the dirt to pluck him off me; how he swore, how she pray’d that never pray’d before; how I cried, how the horses ran away, how her bridle was burst; how I lost my crupper, with ...

Venus and Adonis: 725

Make modest Dian cloudy and forlorn,

Henry VI Part 3 4.8: 21

Or modest Dian, circled with her nymphs,
10

Venus and Adonis: 726

Lest she should steal a kiss and die forsworn.
10

Two Gentlemen of Verona 2.4: 147

Should from her vesture chance to steal a kiss,
10

Two Gentlemen of Verona 2.4: 148

And of so great a favor growing proud,
10

Venus and Adonis: 745

And not the least of all these maladies
10

Henry VI Part 2 1.3: 51

And grumbling York; and not the least of these [continues next]

Henry VI Part 2 3.2: 178

The least of all these signs were probable.

Venus and Adonis: 746

But in one minute’s fight brings beauty under;

12

Venus and Adonis: 750

As mountain snow melts with the midday sun.

Henry VI Part 2 3.1: 223

Free lords, cold snow melts with the sun’s hot beams:
10

Hamlet 4.5: 36

“White his shroud as the mountain snow”
10

Venus and Adonis: 764

A mischief worse than civil home-bred strife,
10

Julius Caesar 1.3: 11

Either there is a civil strife in heaven, [continues next]
10

Venus and Adonis: 765

Or theirs whose desperate hands themselves do slay,
10

Julius Caesar 1.3: 12

[continues previous] Or else the world, too saucy with the gods,
10

Venus and Adonis: 771

The kiss I gave you is bestow’d in vain,
10

All's Well That Ends Well 1.3: 122

I know I love in vain, strive against hope; [continues next]

Venus and Adonis: 772

And all in vain you strive against the stream,

My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, [continues next]

Othello 2.1: 135

[continues previous] How if fair and foolish?
11

Venus and Adonis: 776

And every tongue more moving than your own,

Richard III 5.3: 195

[continues previous] And every tongue brings in a several tale,

Venus and Adonis: 779

For know my heart stands armed in mine ear,
10

Cymbeline 3.4: 103

I have heard I am a strumpet, and mine ear, [continues next]

He hath abandon’d his physicians, madam, under whose practices he hath persecuted time with hope, and finds no other advantage in the process but only the losing of hope by time. [continues next]

Venus and Adonis: 802

Lust’s winter comes ere summer half be done;

Merry Wives of Windsor 2.1: 43

Take heed, ere summer comes or cuckoo-birds do sing.
10

Venus and Adonis: 805

More I could tell, but more I dare not say,
10

Richard II 2.1: 271

I spy life peering, but I dare not say
10

Venus and Adonis: 820

Whose ridges with the meeting clouds contend;

Henry VI Part 2 3.2: 384

And with the southern clouds contend in tears,
10

Venus and Adonis: 821

So did the merciless and pitchy night

All's Well That Ends Well 4.4: 24

Defiles the pitchy night; so lust doth play
11

Venus and Adonis: 824

Hath dropp’d a precious jewel in the flood,

As You Like It 2.1: 14

Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
10

Venus and Adonis: 829

And now she beats her heart, whereat it groans,

Much Ado About Nothing 2.3: 71

Then down upon her knees she falls, weeps, sobs, beats her heart, tears her hair, prays, curses: “O sweet Benedick! God give me patience!”
10

Hamlet 4.5: 5

There’s tricks i’ th’ world, and hems, and beats her heart,

Her heavy anthem still concludes in woe,

Venus salutes him with this fair good morrow:

Good morrow to this fair assembly.
11

Much Ado About Nothing 5.4: 35

Good morrow, Prince; good morrow, Claudio;

Anon Adonis comes with horn and hounds; [continues next]

A second fear through all her sinews spread,

Rape of Lucrece: 1266

That dying fear through all her body spread,

Venus and Adonis: 907

A thousand spleens bear her a thousand ways,

Twelfth Night 1.3: 63

King John 3.1: 19

What dost thou mean by shaking of thy head?

Troilus and Cressida 2.1: 19

Thou grumblest and railest every hour on Achilles, and thou art as full of envy at his greatness as Cerberus is at Proserpina’s beauty, ay, that thou bark’st at him.

Troilus and Cressida 2.1: 21

Thou shouldst strike him.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorr’d in my imagination it is!
