Captiousness: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

You must needs learn, lord, to amend this fault. Though sometimes it show greatness, courage, blood, (And that's the dearest grace it renders you) Yet oftentimes it doth present harsh rage, Defect of manners, want of government, Pride, haughtiness, opinion, and disdain: The least of which haunting a nobleman, Loseth men's hearts; and leaves behind a stain Upon the beauty of all parts besides, Beguiling them of commendation.— H. IV. PT. I. iii. 1.
