Is the single man therefore bless’d? No, as a wall’d town is more worthier than a village, so is the forehead of a married man more honorable than the bare brow of a bachelor; and by how much defense is better than no skill, by so much is a horn more precious than to want.

Winter's Tale 5.2: 10

Then have you lost a sight which was to be seen, cannot be spoken of. There might you have beheld one joy crown another, so and in such manner that it seem’d sorrow wept to take leave of them, for their joy waded in tears. There was casting up of eyes, holding up of hands, ...

Henry IV Part 2 1.2: 48

10

Cardenio 2.3: 40

Fit for no place but bawd to mine own flesh? You’ll prefer all your old courtiers to good services. If your lust keep but hot some twenty winters, we are like to have a virtuous world of wives, Daughters and sisters, besides kinswomen

Richard II 5.2: 90

Have we more sons? Or are we like to have?
10
