All's Well That Ends Well
[II, 3]

Lafeu

1113

Do not plunge thyself too far in anger, lest thou
hasten thy trial; which if—Lord have mercy on thee
for a hen! So, my good window of lattice, fare thee
well: thy casement I need not open, for I look
through thee. Give me thy hand.

All's Well That Ends Well
[V, 3]

Bertram

2781

You are deceived, my lord; she never saw it:
In Florence was it from a casement thrown me,
Wrapp'd in a paper, which contain'd the name
Of her that threw it: noble she was, and thought
I stood engaged: but when I had subscribed
To mine own fortune and inform'd her fully
I could not answer in that course of honour
As she had made the overture, she ceased
In heavy satisfaction and would never
Receive the ring again.

King of France

2940

The story then goes false, you threw it him
Out of a casement.

As You Like It
[IV, 1]

Rosalind

1931

Or else she could not have the wit to do this. The wiser,
the waywarder. Make the doors upon a woman's wit, and it will out
at the casement; shut that, and 'twill out at the key-hole; stop
that, 'twill fly with the smoke out at the chimney.

Cymbeline
[II, 4]

Posthumus Leonatus

1210

And therewithal the best; or let her beauty
Look through a casement to allure false hearts
And be false with them.

King Lear
[I, 2]

Edmund

392

It was not brought me, my lord: there's the cunning of it. I
found it thrown in at the casement of my closet.

Merry Wives of Windsor
[I, 4]

Hostess Quickly

405

What, John Rugby! I pray thee, go to the casement,
and see if you can see my master, Master Doctor
Caius, coming. If he do, i' faith, and find any
body in the house, here will be an old abusing of
God's patience and the king's English.

Midsummer Night's Dream
[III, 1]

Bottom

868

Why, then may you leave a casement of the great
chamber window, where we play, open, and the moon
may shine in at the casement.
