Part 1 (2/2)

Thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise, And make it halt behind her.

_The Tempest, A. 4. S. 1._

Good name in man and woman, Is the immediate jewel of their souls.

_Oth.e.l.lo, A. 3, S. 3._

Women are soft, pitiful, and flexible.

_Henry VI., Pt. 3, A. 1. S. 4._

Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Even such a woman oweth to her husband; And, when she's froward, peevish, sullen, sour, And not obedient to his honest will, What is she, but a contending rebel, And graceless traitor to her loving lord?

_Taming of the Shrew, A. 5, S. 2._

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appet.i.tes they feed: but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies.

_Antony and Cleopatra, A. 2, S. 2._

She's beautiful, and therefore to be wooed; She is a woman, therefore to be won.

_Henry VI., Pt. 1, A. 5, S. 3._

Say, that she rail; why, then I'll tell her plain She sings as sweetly as a nightingale; Say, that she frown; I'll say, she looks as clear As morning roses newly wash'd with dew; Say, she be mute, and will not speak a word; Then I'll commend her volubility, And say she uttereth piercing eloquence.

_Taming of the Shrew, A. 2, S. 1._

Flatter, and praise, commend, extol their graces; ... Say they have angels' faces.

That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.

_Two Gentlemen of Verona, A. 3. S. 1._

Bethink thee on her virtues that Surmount, And natural graces that extinguish art; * * * * *

And, which is more, she is not so divine, So full-replete with choice of all delights, But, with as humble lowliness of mind, She is content to be at your command.

_Henry VI., Pt. 1, A. 5, S. 5._
