As now we meet: You have deceiv'd our trust; Of broached mischief to the unborn times? K. HENRY IV., PART I., A. 4, s. 1. EVERY ONE HAS A WEAK SIDE,EVEN CESAR. And I CAN as well be hanged, as tell the manner of it: it was mere foolery. I did not mark it. I saw Mark Antony offer him a crown;-yet 'twas not a crown neither, 'twas one of these coronets; and, as I told you, he put it by once; but, for all that, to my thinking, he would fain have had it. Then he offered it to him again; then he put it by again: but, to my thinking, he was very loath to lay his fingers off it. then he offered it the third time; he put it the third time by and still as he refused it, the rabblement hooted, and clapped their chopped hands, and threw up their sweaty night-caps, and uttered such a deal of stinking breath because Cæsar refused the crown, that it had almost choaked Cæsar; for he swooned, and fell down at it: And for mine own part, I durst not laugh, for fear of opening my lips, and receiving the bad air. Before he fell down, when he perceived the common herd was glad he refused the crown, he plucked me ope his doublet, and offered them his throat to cut.-An I had been a man of any occupation, if I would not have taken him at a word, I would I might go to hell among the rogues-and so he fell. When he came to himself again, he said, If he had done, or said, any thing amiss, he desired their worships to think it was his infirmity. Three or four wenches, where I stood, cried, Alas, good soul!-and forgave him with all their hearts: But there's no heed to be taken of them; if Casar had stabbed their mothers, they would have done no less. JULIUS CESAR, A. 1, s. 2. EVIL BEGETS EVIL. AND, England, if my love thou hold'st at aught, The present death of Hamlet. Do it, England; my And thou must cure me: Till I know 'tis done, Howe'er my haps, my joys will ne'er begin. HAMLET, A. 4, s. 4. EVIL CONSCIENCE MAKES COWARDS. WHAT man dare, I dare: Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The arm'd rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger, Can such things be, And overcome us like a summer's cloud, Without our special wonder? you make me strange Even to the disposition that I owe, When now I think you can behold such sights, And keep the natural ruby of your cheeks, When mine are blanch'd with fear. It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood: Stones have been known to move, and trees to speak; Augurs, and understood relations, have By magot-pies, and choughs, and rooks, brought forth The secret'st man of blood. MACBETH, A. 3, s. 4. EVIL DEFENDING ITS OWN. MILK-LIVER'D man! That bear'st a cheek for blows, a head for wrongs; Who hast not in thy brows an eye discerning Thine honour from thy suffering; that not know'st, Fools do those villains pity, who are punish'd Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum? France spreads his banners in our noiseless land; With plumed helm thy slayer begins threats; Whilst thou, a moral fool, sitt'st still, and cry'st, Alack! why does he so? KING LEAR, A. 4, s. 2. EVIL ENDEAVOURING TO APOLO- Look, what is done cannot be now amended; Familiarly shall call thy Dorset-brother; To be the same in thine own act and valour, |
