joyfully stake everything on her _honor_. By heaven methinks it were an easy leap To pluck bright _honor_ from the pale-fac'd moon. That merit which gives greatness and _renown_ diffuses its influence to a wide compass, but acts weakly on every single breast. Speak no more of his _renown_, Lay your earthly fancies down, And in the vast cathedral leave him, God accept him, Christ receive him. The young warrior did not fly; but met death as he went forward in his strength. Happy are they who dies in youth, when their _renown_ is heard! The paths of _glory_ lead but to the grave. _Glory_ long has made the sages smile; 'tis something, nothing, words, illusion, wind. Not once or twice in our rough island-story The path of duty was the way to _glory_. He was a charming fellow, clever, urbane, free-handed, with all that fortunate quality in his appearance which is known as _distinction._ Never get a _reputation_ for a small perfection if you are trying for _fame_ in a loftier area. One may be better than his _reputation_ or his conduct, but never better than his principles. I see my _reputation_ is at stake My _fame_ is shrewdly gor'd. CASSIO. _Reputation, reputation, reputation!_ O! I have lost my reputation. I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation, Iago, my reputation! IAGO. As I am an honest man, I thought you had received some bodily wound. You have a good _repute_ for gentleness and wisdom. _Celebrity_ sells dearly what we think she gives. Kings climb to _eminence_ Over men's graves. _Notoriety_ is short-lived; _fame_ is lasting. <Hatred, hate, animosity, ill-will, enmity, hostility, bitterness, malice, malevolence, malignity, rancor, resentment, dudgeon, grudge, spite>. The _hatred_ we bear our enemies injures their happiness less than our own. _Hate_ is like fire; it makes even light rubbish deadly. He generously forgot all feeling of _animosity_, and determined to go in person to his succor. That thereby he may gather The ground of your _ill-will_, and so remove it. No place is so propitious to the formation either of close friendships or of deadly _enmities_ as an Indiaman. There need be no _hostility_ between evolutionist and theologian. Shall we be thus afflicted in his wreaks, His fits, his frenzy, and his _bitterness?_ Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
