h sword will open. Act v. Sc. 1. They say, there is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death. TWELFTH NIGHT. Act i. Sc. 1. If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it; that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.-- That strain again--it had a dying fall; O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south, That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odor. Act i. Sc, 3. I am sure care's an enemy to life. Act i. Sc. 5. 'Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on. Act ii. Sc. 3. Dost thou think, because them art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale? Act ii. Sc. 4. She never told her love, But let concealment, like a worm in the bud, Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, And, with a green and yellow melancholy, She sat, like Patience on a monument, Smiling at grief.

Drest in a little brief authority, * * * * * Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven As make the angels weep. Act iii. Sc. 1. The miserable have no other medicine, But only hope. Act iii. Sc. 1. The sense of death is most in apprehension; And the poor beetle that we tread upon In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great As when a giant dies. Act iii. Sc. 1. Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstruction, and to rot. Act iv. Sc. 1.
