Amaze the welkin with your broken staves!— K. RICHARD III., A. 5, s. 3. DESTINY WITH AND WITHOUT K. RICHARD. All unavoided is the doom of destiny. Q. ELIZABETH. True, when avoided grace makes destiny: My babes were destin'd to a fairer death, ELY. And a true lover of the holy church. CANT. The courses of his youth promis'd it not. The breath no sooner left his father's body, And whipp'd the offending Adam out of him; To envelop and contain celestial spirits. H Never was such a sudden scholar made : So soon did lose his seat, and all at once, ELY. We are blessed in the change. The Gordian knot of it he will unloose, Any retirement, any sequestration ELY. The strawberry grows underneath the nettle, And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best, And so the prince obscur'd his contemplation Unseen, yet crescive in his faculty. CANT.

I am afraid, he would prove the better counterfeit. Therefore I'll make him sure: yea, and I'll swear I killed him. Why may not he rise, as well as I? Nothing confutes me but eyes, and nobody sees me. K. HENRY IV., PART I., A. 5, s. 4. DISEASE OF THE TONGUE. O DEAR discretion, how his words are suited! An army of good words; And I do know MERCHANT OF VENICE, A. 3, s. 5.

Nor know my voice! O, time's extremity! my COMEDY OF ERRORS, A. 5, s. 1. DISTRIBUTION OF PROVIDENCE.
