Shall I bend low, and in a bondman's key,
With bated breath and whispering humbleness.

My lord,
If I can get him within my pistol's length,
I'll make him sure enough: so, farewell to your highness.

[II, 1]

First Fisherman

O, sir, things must be as they may; and what a man
cannot get, he may lawfully deal for—his wife's soul.

Simonides

1015

Knights, from my daughter this I let you know,
That for this twelvemonth she'll not undertake
A married life.
Her reason to herself is only known,
Which yet from her by no means can I get.

Pericles
[II, 5]

Second Knight

1020

May we not get access to her, my lord?

It pleaseth me so well, that I will see you wed;
And then with what haste you can get you to bed.

Get fire and meat for these poor men:
'T has been a turbulent and stormy night.

Cerimon

1415

Hush, my gentle neighbours!
Lend me your hands; to the next chamber bear her.
Get linen: now this matter must be look'd to,
For her relapse is mortal. Come, come;
And AEsculapius guide us!

Bawd

Why to give over, I pray you? is it a shame to get
when we are old?

Pericles

Bawd

1722

Boult, take you the marks of her, the colour of her
hair, complexion, height, age, with warrant of her
virginity; and cry 'He that will give most shall
have her first.' Such a maidenhead were no cheap
thing, if men were as they have been. Get this done
as I command you.

Pericles
[IV, 6]

Bawd

1949

Fie, fie upon her! she's able to freeze the god
Priapus, and undo a whole generation. We must
either get her ravished, or be rid of her. When she
should do for clients her fitment, and do me the
kindness of our profession, she has me her quirks,
her reasons, her master reasons, her prayers, her
knees; that she would make a puritan of the devil,
if he should cheapen a kiss of her.
