Greeting: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

A hundred thousand welcomes: I could weep, And I could laugh; I am light, and heavy: Welcome: A curse begin at very root of his heart, That is not glad to see thee!— C. ii. 1.

The Lord in heaven bless thee, noble Harry! H. V. iv. 1. God-a-mercy, old heart! thou speakest cheerfully.— H. V. iv. 1

Why have you stolen upon us thus! You come not Like Cæsar's sister; the wife of Antony Should have an army for an usher, and The neighs of horse to tell of her approach, Long ere she did appear; the trees by the way, Should have borne men; and expectation fainted. Longing for what it had not: nay, the dust Shakespearian Dictionary. GRI Should have ascended to the roof of heaven, Rais'd by your populous troops: But you are come A market-maid to Rome; and have prevented The ostentation of our love, which, left unshown, Is often left unlov'd: we should have met you By sea, and land; supplying every stage— A.C iii. 6.

With an augmented greeting.

Simple

Trust me, sweet, Out of this silence yet I pick'd a welcome; And in the modesty of fearful duty I read as much, as from the rattling tongue Of saucy and audacious eloquence. Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity In least, speak most, to my capacity.— M. N. v. 1
