Here come the lords of Ross and Willoughby,
Bloody with spurring, fiery-red with haste.

Act 11.

Scene 3:

Within the hollow crown, That rounds the mortal temples of a king,

Scene 2. Keeps Death his court.

Act III.

As in a theatre, the eyes

of

men, After a well-grac'd actor leaves the stage, Are idly bent on him that enters next, Thinking his prattle to be tedious : Even so, or with much more contempt, men's eyes Did scowl on Richard ; no man cried, God save him; No joyful tongue gave him his welcome home.

Scene 2.

Act v.

TAMING OF THE SHREW.

Have I not in my time heard lions roar?
Have I not heard the sea, puff'd up with winds
Rage like an angry boar, chafed with sweat ?
Have I not heard great ordnance in the field,
And heaven's artillery thunder in the skies?
Have I not in a pitched battle heard
Loud clarions, neighing steeds, and trumpet's clang?
And do

you
tell
of a woman's tongue ?
