Page 39 - Take but degree away, untune that string, And, hark, what discord follows ! each thing meets In mere oppugnancy : the bounded waters Should lift their bosoms higher than the shores, And make a sop of all this solid globe : Strength should be lord of imbecility, And the rude son should strike his father dead : Force should be right ; or rather, right and wrong, Between whose endless jar justice resides, Should lose their names, and so should justice too.

Page 5 - Tis two or three, my lord, that bring you word, Macduff is fled to England. Macb. Fled to England? Len. Ay, my good lord. Macb. Time, thou anticipat'st my dread exploits : The flighty purpose never is o'ertook, Unless the deed go with it. From this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand. And even now, To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done. The castle of Macduff I will surprise ; Seize upon Fife ; give to the edge o' the sword His wife, his babes,...
Page xii - Troy. Come, Cressida, my cresset light, Thy face doth shine both day and night, Behold, behold thy garter blue Thy knight his valiant elbow wears, That when he SHAKES his furious SPEARE, The foe, in shivering fearful sort, May lay him down in death to snort. Cress. O knight, with valour in thy face, Here take my skreene, wear it for grace; Within thy helmet put the same, Therewith to make thy enemies lame.
