Curs: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

O'tis a foul thing, when a cur cannot keep himself in all companies! I would have, as one should say, one that taketh upon him to be a dog indeed, to be, as it were, a dog at all things.— T.G. iv. 4.
When a man's servant shall play the cur with him, look you, it goes hard: one that I brought up a puppy; one that I saved from drowning, when three or four of his blind brothers and sisters went to it! I have taught him-even as one would say precisely, -Thus I would teach a dog.— T.G. iv. 4.

Cursing

I would the gods had nothing else to do, But to confirm my curses!— C. iv. 2.
