And Peter Turf, and Henry Pimpernell;

Which never were, nor no man ever saw.

TWELFTH NIGHT.

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 odour.

Let still the woman take

An elder than herself: so wears she to him,
So sways she level in her husband's heart,
For, boy, however we do praise ourselves,
Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm,
More longing, wavering, sooner lost and won,
Than women's are.
Act ii. Sc. 4.

Twelfth Night continued.]

And dallies with the innocence of love,

Like the old age.

Act ii. Sc. 4.

She never told her love;

But let concealment, like a worm i' 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.

And all the brothers too.

In the contempt and anger of his lip!

But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes,

Or Cytherea's breath.

A wave o' th' sea, that you might ever do

Nothing but that.
