King's Absence And Return, Typified: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

In murders and in outrage, bloody here; But when, from under this terrestrial ball, He fires the proud tops of the eastern pines, And darts his light through every guilty hole, Then murders, treasons, and detested sins, The cloak of night being pluck'd from off their backs, Stand bare and naked, trembling at themselves? R.II. iii. 2 _'S ADVISER. That man, that sits within a monarch's heart, And ripens in the sunshine of his favour, Would he abuse the countenance of the king, Alack, what mischiefs might he set abroach,— H. IV. PT. II. iv. 2

In shadow of such greatness! DEATH OF Δ. The cease of majesty Dies not alone; but, like a gulf, doth draw What's near it with it: it is a massy wheel, Fix'd on the summit of the highest mount, To whose huge spokes ten thousand lesser things Are mortis'd and adjoin'd; which, when it falls, Each small annexment, petty consequence, Attends the boisterous ruin.— H. iii. 3

'S EVIL. 'Tis call'd the evil: A most miraculous work in this good king: Which often, since my here-remain in England, I have seen him do. How he solicits heaven, Himself best knows: but strangely visited people, All swoln and ulcerous, pitiful to the eye, The mere despair of surgery, he cures; Hanging a golden stamp about their necks, Put on with holy prayers; and 'tis spoken, To the succeeding royalty he leaves— M. iv. 3

The healing benediction. Ay, Sir; there are a crew of wretched souls, That stay his cure; their malady convinces The great assay of art; but, at his touch, Such sanctity hath heaven given his hand,— M. iv. 3.

They presently amend.
