INTEMPERANCE.

Boundless intemperance

In nature is a tyranny; it hath been

The untimely emptying of the happy throne,
And fall of many kings.

INTENTIONS, GOOD, DEFEATED.

We are not the first,

Who, with best meaning, have incurr'd the worst

INTENTS AND ACTS.

His act did not o'ertake his bad intent;

And must be buried but as an intent,

M. iv. 3.

K. L. v. 3.

That perish'd by the way: thoughts are no subjects;
Intents but merely thoughts.

Between the acting of a dreadful thing

And the first motion, all the interim is

Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream:
The genius, and the mortal instruments,
Are then in council; and the state of man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.

INTERRUPTION, VIOLENT.

And, like the tyrannous breathing of the north,
Shakes all our buds from growing.

INTRUDER.

M. M. v. 1.

J.C. ii. 1.

Cym. i. 4.

What! dares the slave

R. J. i. 5.

Come hither, cover'd with an antic face,
To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?

INVASION.

There comes a power

Into this scatter'd kingdom; who already,
Wise in our negligence, have secret feet
In some of our best ports, and are at point
To show their open banner.

Shall we, upon the footing of our land,
Send fair-play orders, and make compromise,
Insinuation, parley, and base truce,
To arms invasive? shall a beardless boy,
A cocker'd silken wanton brave our fields,
And flesh his spirit in a warlike soil,
Mocking the air with colours idly spread,
And find no check?

INVITATION.

K.L. iii. 1.

K. J. v. 1.

If your love do not persuade you to come, let not my letter.

M. V. iii. 2.

INVOCATION.

JOY.

My father's wit, and my mother's tongue, assist me !

LOYAL.

God, and his angels, guard your sacred throne,
And make you long become it!

POET'S.

O, for a muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention !

SOLDIER'S.

L. L. i. 2.

H.V. i. 2.

H.V. i. chorus.

St. George, that swing'd the dragon, and e'er since,
Sits on his horseback at mine hostess' door,
Teach us some fence!

K. J. ii. 1.

Take my cap, Jupiter, and I thank thee :-Hoo! Marcius is coming home!

Why, hark you ;

The trumpets, sackbuts, psalteries, and fifes,
Tabors, and cymbals, and the shouting Romans,
Make the sun dance.

But that I see thee here,

Thou roble thing! more dances my rapt heart
Than when I first my wedded mistress saw
Bestride my threshold.

C. ii. 1.

C. v. 4

C. iv. 5.

There appears much joy in him; even so much that joy could not show itself modest enough, without a badge of bitterness. *** A kind overflow of kindness: There are no faces truer than those that are so washed. How much better is it to weep at joy, than to joy at weeping!

IRRESOLUTION (See also HESITATION).

Our doubts are traitors,

And make us lose the good we oft might win,

By fearing to attempt.

That we would do,

M. A. i. 1.

M. M. i. 5.

We should do when we would; for this would changes,
And hath abatements and delays as many,

As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents;
And then this should is like a spendthrift's sigh,
That hurts by easing.

IRREVERENCE.

H. iv. 7.

Quaff'd off the muscadel, and threw the sops all in the sexton's face. T. S. iii. 2.

IRRITABILITY (See also QUARREL).

Come, come, thou art as hot a Jack in thy mood as any in

Italy.

Being incens'd, he's flint;

As humorous as winter, and as sudden
As flaws congealed in the spring of day.
His temper therefore must be well observ'd:
Chide him for faults, and do it reverently,
When you perceive his blood inclin'd to mirth;
But, being moody, give him line and scope,
Till that his passions, like a whale on ground,
Confound themselves with working.

R. J. iii. 1.

H.IV. PT. II. iv. 4.

A very little thief of occasion will rob you of a great deal of patience.

JUDGES, DILATORY.

C. ii. 1.

You dismiss the controversy bleeding, the more entangled by your hearing.

JUDGMENT, JUSTICE.

C. ii. 1.

I stand for judgment: answer; shall I have it? M.V. iv. 1.
Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all. H.VI. PT. 11. iii. 3.
A Daniel come to judgment! yea, a Daniel!

To offend and judge, are distinct offices,
And of opposed natures.

M.V. iv. 1.

M. V. ii. 9.

O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason.

J.C. iii. 2.

This shows you are above,

You justicers, that these poor nether crimes
So speedily can venge!

K. L. iv. 2.

O, I were damn'd beyond all depth in hell,
But that I did proceed upon just grounds

To this extremity.

All friends shall taste

0. v. 2.

The wages of their virtue, and all foes

The cup of their deservings.

K. L. v. 3.

The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices

Make instruments to scourge us.

K. L. v. 3.

JUDGMENT, JUSTICE,-continued.

Thyself shalt see the act:
For, as thou urgest justice, be assur'd,
Thou shalt have justice, more than thou desir'st.

And where the offence is, let the great axe fall.

M. V. iv. 1.

H. iv. 5.

Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks:
Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw doth pierce it. K. L. iv. 6.
In the corrupted currents of this world,

Offence's gilded hand may shove by justice;
And oft 'tis seen, the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law: But 'tis not so above:
There is no shuffling, there the action lies
In his true nature; and we ourselves compell'd,
Even to the teeth and forehead of our faults,
To give in evidence.

I do believe,

Induc'd by potent circumstances, that

You are mine enemy; and make my challenge,
You shall not be my judge.

H. iii. 3.

H. VIII. ii. 4.

If I shall be condemn'd

Upon surmises; all proofs sleeping else,
But what your jealousies await; I tell you,
'Tis rigour, and not law.

Impartial are our eyes, and ears:
Were he my brother, nay, my kingdom's heir,
Now by my sceptre's awe I make a vow,
Such neighbour nearness to our sacred blood
Should nothing privilege him, nor partialize

W.T. iii. 2.

The unstooping firmness of my upright soul.

R. II. i. 1.

He shall have merely justice, and his bond. JUSTICE OF PEACE.

M.V. iv. 1.

He's a justice of peace in his county, simple though 1

stand here.

M.W. i. 1.

K.

KENT.

Kent, in the commentaries Cæsar writ,
Is term'd the civil'st place of all this isle:
Sweet in the country, because full of riches;
The people liberal, valiant, active, wealthy.

H.VI. PT. II. iv. 7,

KILLING.

To kill, I grant, is sin's extremest gust;
But, in defence, by mercy, it is just.
KINDNESS.

When your head did but ache,
I knit my handkerchief about your brows,
(The best I had, a princess wrought it me,)
And I did never ask it you again:

And with my hand at midnight held your head;
And, like the watchful minutes to the hour,
Still and anon cheer'd up the heavy time;

T. A. iii. 5.

Saying,—What lack you ?—and,-Where lies your grief?

K. J. iv. 1.

What would you have? your gentleness shall force,
More than your force move us to gentleness.

Blunt not his love;

Nor lose the good advantage of his grace,
By seeming cold, or careless of his will,
For he is gracious if he be observ'd.

You may ride us,

A. Y. ii. 7.

H. IV. PT. II. iv. 1.

With one soft kiss, a thousand furlongs, ere
With spur we heat an acre.

W.T. i. 2.

KINGS (See also AUTHORITY, CROWN, FALLEN GREATNESS).
He may not, as unvalu'd persons do,
Carve for himself; for on his choice depends
The safety and the health of the whole state;
And therefore must his choice be circumscrib'd
Unto the voice and yielding of that body,
Whereof he is the head.

O hard condition, twin-born with greatness,
Subject to the breath of every fool,

Whose sense no more can feel but his own wringing!

What infinite heart's ease must kings neglect,

That private men enjoy!

And what have kings, that privates have not too,

Save ceremony, save general ceremony?

And what art thou, thou idol ceremony?

What kind of god art thou, that suffer'st more
Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers?
What are thy rents? what are thy comings in?
O, ceremony, show me but thy worth

What, is thy soul of adoration?

Art thou aught else but place, degree, and form,
Creating awe and fear in other men?

Wherein thou art less happy, being fear'd,
Than they in fearing

H. i. 3.
