Recreation: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Sweet recreation barr'd, what doth ensue, But moody and dull melancholy. (Kinsman to grim and comfortless despair,) And, at her heels, a huge infectious troop T Of pale distemperatures, and foes to life? In food, in sport, and life-preserving rest To be disturb'd, would mad or man, or beast. C. E.v.— C. E. v. 1.

Recreant Slave

Yet I am thankful: if my heart were great, 'Twould burst at this: Captain, I'll be no more; But I will eat and drink, and sleep as soft As captain shall: simply the thing I am Shall make me live. Who knows himself a braggart, Let him fear this; for it will come to pass, That every braggart shall be found an ass: Rust, sword! cool, blushes! and, Parolles, live! Safest in shame! being fool'd, by foolery thrive ! There's place, and means, for every man alive. A. W. iv.
