O, it is excellent
To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant.

All's Well That Ends Well
[III, 1]

Welcome shall they be;
And all the honours that can fly from us
Shall on them settle. You know your places well;
When better fall, for your avails they fell:
To-morrow to the field.

The heart of Antony, Octavia is
A blessed lottery to him.

Winter's Tale
[IV, 4]

Camillo

2396

Gracious my lord,
You know your father's temper: at this time
He will allow no speech, which I do guess
You do not purpose to him; and as hardly
Will he endure your sight as yet, I fear:
Then, till the fury of his highness settle,
Come not before him.
