8093Heard you that strain of music light, Borne gently on the breeze of night,-- So soft and low as scarce to seem More than the magic of a dream? 8093 How came it then?"
8093How did he get there?

8093Madam,said the man, putting aside a newspaper and looking around,"what''s the matter with that young hyena?"
8093Measles, likely?
8093Mister,said the boy, after a short silence,"does it hurt to be bald- headed?"
8093Nay, who, I mean, instruction gave, Before that Virgin''s head you drew?
8093No, no, no; said he''d rather lose a thousand apple- trees than--"Said he''d rather George would?

8093What are you singing for?
8093What can we go in for?
8093What did he die of?
8093What on earth, then, have you got to make you happy? 8093 What shall it be?"

8093)_ MAD.--_(not noticing child)_ Where is she?
8093*****"Who did you say is waiting for me?"
8093--she smiled as she drew From her bosom two letters; and-- can it be true?
8093A beggar woman?
8093A drunken brother, a poor helpless sister, no mother, no father, no lover; why, where do you get all your happiness from?"
8093A king of shreds and patches,-- Save me, and hover o''er me with your wings, You heavenly guards!--What would your gracious figure?
8093A vision which fever hath fashion''d to sight?
8093ALON.--And die for me?
8093ALON.--How, is my hour elapsed?

8093And be sure that he knows how much to know, and knows how not to know too much?
8093And do thy kisses, like the rest, betray?
8093And do you want me to tell you I walked alive a murderer of my own child, who stood up to save me?
8093And do you want me to tell you how that mangled little mass killed her mother?
8093And do you want me to tell you the good fellowship you were drinkin''awhile ago brought all this on me?
8093And does delirium utter such sweet words Into a dreamer''s ear?
8093And dress your victuals( if there be any)?
8093And everybody said they did n''t know anything about it, and--""Anything about what?"
8093And he said,''Who has cut down my favourite apple- tree?''"
8093And his father told him--""Told who?"
8093And his father--""Whose father?"

8093And shall I on my only son Bestow a curse this day?
8093And the bank man said:"How do you vote?--excuse me, do you go to Sunday school?"
8093And the bank man said:"Little boy, are you good?"
8093And the words?

8093Come swift, O sweet; why falter so?
8093Come, merchant, have you anything to say?
8093Come, phial-- What if this mixture do not work at all?
8093Could he believe that the grand lady, all blazing with jewels, and whom everybody seemed to worship, would really sing his little song?
8093Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, And batten on this moor?
8093Crouching in the twilight- gray, Like a hunted thing at bay, In his brain one thought is rife: Why not end the bootless strife?
8093Dead?

8093Did you ne''er think what wondrous beings these?
8093Did you ne''er think who made them, and who taught The dialect they speak, where melodies Alone are the interpreters of thought?
8093Did you not speak?
8093Did you think so?
8093Do I dream?
8093Do n''t you wish he was your papa?"

8093Had I understood him?"
8093Had you rather CÃ ¦ sar were living, and die all slaves, than that CÃ ¦ sar were dead, to live all freemen?
8093Hark!-- Who lies i''the second chamber?
8093Hate Mauprat?
8093Hath Cassius lived To be but mirth and laughter to his Brutus, When grief and blood ill- tempered vexeth him?
8093Have I not seen the strongest fall, The fairest led astray?
8093Have we not heard the Bridegroom is so sweet?
8093Have you eyes?
8093Have you not love enough to bear with me, When that rash humour which my mother gave me Makes me forgetful?
8093Have you the heart?
8093He brokenly, timidly said,''Do they know I am thus?''
8093He kissed me-- and I knew''twas wrong, For he was neither kith nor kin; Need one do penance very long For such a tiny little sin?
8093He pressed my hand-- that was not right; Why will men have such wicked ways?
8093Her mother dying of the gift she gave, That precious gift, what else remained to him?
8093His daily wages had been their sole support, and now that he was gone, what could they do?
8093His eyes slowly filling with tear- drops, He falteringly says,"May I pray?"
8093His feet are on the land, and fair His face is lifting to my face, For who shall now dispute the race?
8093His--""Who gave him the little hatchet?"
8093How cam''st thou hither?--tell me-- and for what?
8093How came she by that light?
8093How do you do, Cornelia?
8093How far wilt thou, O Catiline, abuse our patience?
8093How have I drunk the light of thy blue eye And could I see thee die?
8093How is Mr. Kobble?
8093How is it with you, lady?
8093How is''t with me, when every noise appals me?
8093How long shall thy madness outbrave our justice?
8093How many has he now?"
8093I an itching palm?
8093I do n''t often meddle in other folks''business, do I?
8093I durst not?
8093I expected the bank man would call me in and say:"Little boy, are you good?"
8093I have done the deed:--Did''st thou not hear a noise?
8093I mean-- I-- Does your Eminence-- that is-- Know you Messire de Mauprat?
8093I pray thee, bear my former answer back?
8093I say, do you hear it?
8093I went out and walked about, thinking,"what could he mean?
8093I will not entertain so bad a thought.-- How, if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo Come to redeem me?
8093I''st possible?
8093I_ durst_ not?
8093If on to- morrow morn you fail To answer what I ask, The lash shall force you-- do you hear?

8093Is this the man I worshipped?
8093Is this your promise?
8093Is your name Shylock?
8093Is-- ah!--is he dead?"
8093It is not so express''d; but what of that?
8093It moves!--what form unseen, what being there With torch- like lustre fires the murky air?
8093It was--''""His father could n''t?"
8093JULIE: What doth he?
8093Just two days later, as I sat, half dozing, in my office chair, I heard a timid knock, and called in my brusque fashion,"Who is there?"
8093K. HEN Who hath sent thee now?
8093LADY C. What are you busy?
