8093 | Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, And batten on this moor? |
8093 | Crouching in the twilight- gray, Like a hunted thing at bay, In his brain one thought is rife: Why not end the bootless strife? |
8093 | Dead? |
8093 | Deep calleth unto deep, and what are we That hear the questions of that voice sublime? |
8093 | Did I say better? |
8093 | Did I say better? |
8093 | Did I yesterday Wash thy feet, my beloved, that they should run Quick to deny me,''neath the morning sun? |
8093 | Did no blood- stained dagger drop upon them? |
8093 | Did not great Julius bleed for justice sake? |
8093 | Did not the angels weep over the scene? |
8093 | Did not you speak? |
8093 | Did ye not hear it? |
8093 | Did you ever hear two married women take leave of each other at the gate on a mild evening? |
8093 | Did you ever stand in the crowded street, In the glare of a city lamp, And list to the tread of the millions feet In their quaintly musical tramp? |
8093 | Did you narrowly look?" |
8093 | Did you ne''er think what wondrous beings these? |
8093 | Did you ne''er think who made them, and who taught The dialect they speak, where melodies Alone are the interpreters of thought? |
8093 | Did you not speak? |
8093 | Did you think so? |
8093 | Do I dream? |
8093 | Do n''t you wish he was your papa?" |
8093 | Do not I know thou would''st? |
8093 | Do you confess so much? |
8093 | Do you confess the bond? |
8093 | Do you hear the rain, Mr. Caudle? |
8093 | Do you mark that? |
8093 | Do you need my help? |
8093 | Do you not come your tardy son to chide, That, lapsed in time and passion, lets go by The important acting of your dread command? |
8093 | Do you see nothing there? |
8093 | Do you think, sir, if you try, You can paint the look of a lie? |
8093 | Does he know how to spur up his virtue, and put a check- rein on his pride? |
8093 | Does it dare to mix with the pure air of heaven? |
8093 | Dost thou hear? |
8093 | Dost thou love me? |
8093 | Drooping?--sighs?-- Art thou not happy at the court? |
8093 | Enter Leah slowly, her hair streaming over her shoulders._ LEAH--[_solus_]-What seek I here? |
8093 | Even so? |
8093 | Firstly? |
8093 | For what? |
8093 | Frenchman, I presume?" |
8093 | Friendly, my child what about him, pray?" |
8093 | Friendly, what would they all say?" |
8093 | George would rather have his father lie?" |
8093 | George? |
8093 | Good morning, Doctor; how do you do? |
8093 | Great Spirit, what is this I dread? |
8093 | HAMLET,( C) Whither wilt thou lead me? |
8093 | Had I understood him?" |
8093 | Had you rather CÃ ¦ sar were living, and die all slaves, than that CÃ ¦ sar were dead, to live all freemen? |
8093 | Hark!-- Who lies i''the second chamber? |
8093 | Hate Mauprat? |
8093 | Hath Cassius lived To be but mirth and laughter to his Brutus, When grief and blood ill- tempered vexeth him? |
8093 | Have I not seen the strongest fall, The fairest led astray? |
8093 | Have we not heard the Bridegroom is so sweet? |
8093 | Have you eyes? |
8093 | Have you not love enough to bear with me, When that rash humour which my mother gave me Makes me forgetful? |
8093 | Have you the heart? |
8093 | He brokenly, timidly said,''Do they know I am thus?'' |
8093 | He 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? |
8093 | He pressed my hand-- that was not right; Why will men have such wicked ways? |
8093 | Her mother dying of the gift she gave, That precious gift, what else remained to him? |
8093 | His daily wages had been their sole support, and now that he was gone, what could they do? |
8093 | His eyes slowly filling with tear- drops, He falteringly says,"May I pray?" |
8093 | His feet are on the land, and fair His face is lifting to my face, For who shall now dispute the race? |
8093 | His--""Who gave him the little hatchet?" |
8093 | How cam''st thou hither?--tell me-- and for what? |
8093 | How came she by that light? |
8093 | How do you do, Cornelia? |
8093 | How far wilt thou, O Catiline, abuse our patience? |
8093 | How have I drunk the light of thy blue eye And could I see thee die? |
8093 | How is Mr. Kobble? |
8093 | How is it with you, lady? |
8093 | How is''t with me, when every noise appals me? |
8093 | How long shall thy madness outbrave our justice? |
8093 | How many has he now?" |
8093 | I an itching palm? |
8093 | I do n''t often meddle in other folks''business, do I? |
8093 | I durst not? |
8093 | I expected the bank man would call me in and say:"Little boy, are you good?" |
8093 | I have done the deed:--Did''st thou not hear a noise? |
8093 | I mean-- I-- Does your Eminence-- that is-- Know you Messire de Mauprat? |
8093 | I pray thee, bear my former answer back? |
8093 | I say, do you hear it? |
8093 | I went out and walked about, thinking,"what could he mean? |
8093 | I 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? |
8093 | I''st possible? |
8093 | I_ durst_ not? |
8093 | If on to- morrow morn you fail To answer what I ask, The lash shall force you-- do you hear? |
8093 | In Heaven? |
8093 | Is His heaven far to seek for those who drown? |
8093 | Is he not able to discharge the money? |
8093 | Is it come to this? |
8093 | Is it not Alonzo''s voice? |
8093 | Is it not so? |
8093 | Is it really come again? |
8093 | Is it so nominated in the bond? |
8093 | Is it you? |
8093 | Is not love the right of all,--like the air, the light? |
8093 | Is that the law? |
8093 | Is there One who knows and cares? |
8093 | Is there no remedy? |
8093 | Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? |
8093 | Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? |
8093 | Is this the man I worshipped? |
8093 | Is this your promise? |
8093 | Is your name Shylock? |
8093 | Is-- ah!--is he dead?" |
8093 | It is not so express''d; but what of that? |
8093 | It moves!--what form unseen, what being there With torch- like lustre fires the murky air? |
8093 | It was--''""His father could n''t?" |
8093 | JULIE: What doth he? |
8093 | Just 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?" |
8093 | K. HEN Who hath sent thee now? |
8093 | LADY C. What are you busy? |
8093 | LADY M. What do you mean? |
8093 | LADY M. Who was it that thus cried? |
8093 | LEAH.--And you believed I had taken it? |
8093 | LEAH.--Sent me money? |
8093 | LEAH.--What say you? |
8093 | LEAH.--You would tempt me again? |
8093 | Leah? |
8093 | Let me see; you do n''t own a foot of land in the world?" |
8093 | Likewise, there folks do n''t get hungry; So good people when they dies, Finds themselves well- fixed for ever-- Joe, my boy, wot ails your eyes? |
8093 | Lives he still-- if dead, still where is he? |
8093 | May I say"Father?" |
8093 | Mendez!--say, whose hand Among ye all?" |
8093 | Mister, have all bald- headed men got money?" |
8093 | Must I budge? |
8093 | Must I endure all this? |
8093 | Must I give way and room to your rash choler? |
8093 | Must I observe you? |
8093 | Must I stand and crouch Under your testy humour? |
8093 | Must I thus leave thee, Paradise? |
8093 | My father''s trade? |
8093 | My lord? |
8093 | My old friend''s ghost? |
8093 | My only strength and stay: forlorn of thee, Whither shall I betake me, where subsist? |
8093 | Never see the country did you? |
8093 | No cause-- you hate my foes? |
8093 | No little faces greet him as wo nt at the threshold; and to his hurried question--"Are they come?" |
8093 | No more assassins Now on the road? |
8093 | No-- no; no fairer were you then than at this hour to me, And dear as life to me this day, how could you dearer be? |
8093 | None? |
8093 | Nor did you nothing hear? |
8093 | Not a neighbour Passing, nod or answer will refuse To her whisper,"Is there from the fishers any news?" |
8093 | Not rank De Mauprat with my foes? |
8093 | Now, Cora, did''st thou not wrong me? |
8093 | Now, is n''t it true Tom''s the best fellow that ever you knew? |
8093 | Now, tell me, Are you guilty of this, or no?" |
8093 | Nurse!--What should she do here? |
8093 | O good painter, tell me true, Has your hand the cunning to draw Shapes of things that you never saw? |
8093 | O partner of my gladness, wife, what care, what grief is there, For me you would not bravely face,--with me you would not share? |
8093 | O what are all the notes that ever rung From war''s vain trumpet, by thy thundering side? |
8093 | O, save me, Hubert, save me? |
8093 | O, which way now is left for his retreat? |
8093 | Often? |
8093 | Oh, is it a phantom? |
8093 | Oh, when will day reveal a world unknown?" |
8093 | Oh, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? |
8093 | On what compulsion must I? |
8093 | One day George Washington''s father gave him a little hatchet for a--""Gave who a little hatchet?" |
8093 | One day his father--""Who''s father?" |
8093 | One who all his sorrow shares? |
8093 | Or did I wake and now but dream? |
8093 | Or, What good love may I perform for you? |
8093 | Perhaps she''ll wear a plainer dress when she''s as old as I,-- Would thee believe it, Hannah? |
8093 | Pray, why did not your father make A saddler, sir, of you?" |
8093 | Printer; how is your body today? |
8093 | QUEEN-- What have I done, that thou dar''st wag thy tongue In noise so rude against me? |
8093 | QUEEN.--Ah me, what act, That roars so loud, and thunders in the index? |
8093 | ROL.--Did Rolla ever counsel dishonour to his friend? |
8093 | ROL.--Dost thou love thy children and thy wife? |
8093 | ROL.--Hast thou children? |
8093 | ROL.--Soldier!--hast thou a wife? |
8093 | ROL.--What is to be his fate? |
8093 | ROL.--Where didst thou leave them? |
8093 | RUD.--How could I believe otherwise? |
8093 | RUD.--How say you? |
8093 | Remember thee? |
8093 | Reward or punishment?" |
8093 | SEN.--Away!--wouldst thou corrupt me? |
8093 | SEN.--How? |
8093 | SIR P.--Very well, ma''am, very well!--so a husband is to have no influence, no authority? |
8093 | ST. And when you are one, what do you intend? |
8093 | ST. Be it so-- What then? |
8093 | ST. Tell me what brings you, gentle youth, to Rome? |
8093 | ST. Well, having worn the mitre and red hat, And triple crown, what follows after that? |
8093 | ST. Well; and how then? |
8093 | Secondly? |
8093 | See''st thou here? |
8093 | Shall I be frightened when a madman stares? |
8093 | Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this? |
8093 | Shall I not have barely my principal? |
8093 | Shall I not then be stifled in the vault, To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in, And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes? |
8093 | Shall I of force be married to the Count? |
8093 | Shall I shrink From him who gave me birth? |
8093 | Shall Lewis have Blanche, and Blanche these provinces? |
8093 | Shall it be in wine? |
8093 | Shall not the roaring waters Their headlong gallop check? |
8093 | Shall she let it ring? |
8093 | She speaks, yet she says nothing: what of that? |
8093 | Should I have answered Caius Cassius so? |
8093 | Sir, is it true that you have known-- nay, are you The friend of-- Melnotte? |
8093 | So leavin''the ould cow puffin and blowin''in a shed, I wint to the house, and as luck would have it, whose should it be but Dennis''s? |
8093 | So says the bond;--Doth it not, noble judge? |
8093 | So you note his colours, Julie? |
8093 | Suppose it so,--what have you next in view? |
8093 | Suppose it was, what then? |
8093 | Tell you about it? |
8093 | Ten years pass, and Marguerite Smiles as Will kneels at her feet, Gazing fondly in her eyes, Praying,"Wo n''t you kiss me, sweet?" |
8093 | That dar''st, though grim and terrible, advance Thy miscreated front athwart my way To yonder gates? |
8093 | The doctor put up his eye- glass,--procured for such occasions:--"Ah,--what did you say this gentleman''s name was?" |
8093 | The doctor turned on him savagely:--"Here, now, what do you mean by such conduct as this? |
8093 | The first words he caught were:"Before papa died we always had Christmas, did n''t we, mamma?" |
8093 | The maiden answers,"Let us wait; To borrow trouble where''s the need?" |
8093 | The man lived in Philadelphia who, when young and poor, entered a bank, and says he,"Please, sir, do n''t you want a boy?" |
8093 | The prech''en? |
8093 | The red fox at my feet? |
8093 | Then he said, without any show of interest,--"Ah,--Ferguson,--what-- what did you say was the name of the party who wrote this?" |
8093 | Then you play from ear?" |
8093 | These eyes, that never did, nor never shall, So much as frown on you? |
8093 | These then, are the charms Which no man with impunity can view, Near which no woman dare attempt to stand? |
8093 | Think ye my noble father''s glaive, Could drink the life blood of a slave? |
8093 | This-- trial? |
8093 | Thou art admired-- art young; Does not his Majesty commend thy beauty-- Ask thee to sing to him?--and swear such sounds Had smoothed the brow of Saul? |
8093 | Thou dost not wish more help from England, coz? |
8093 | Thou proud mouth, ye proud lips, why did you not speak? |
8093 | Thou shalt not kill-- what of life have you left me? |
8093 | To induce you to release me-- to---- LEAH.--That I might release you? |
8093 | To whom do you speak this? |
8093 | Too fairly, Hubert, for so foul effect: Must you with hot irons burn out both mine eyes? |
8093 | Transition thus forms a very important part in vocal culture, and public speakers often ask the question:"How can I modulate my voice?" |
8093 | Was that done like Cassius? |
8093 | We said:"And he was told--""George told him?" |
8093 | Wears gold and azure? |
8093 | Well!--and you-- Has he addressed you often? |
8093 | Well, but finds it warm in town, eh? |
8093 | Well, now, how do you know? |
8093 | Well, what did he do?" |
8093 | What ails the woman standing near? |
8093 | What ails you dear Fanny? |
8093 | What are we waiting for, you and I? |
8093 | What are we waiting for? |
8093 | What cared he for money now? |

8093 | What do you think that old white mare of ours did while I was out ploughing last week? |
8093 | What good would forty heads do her? |
8093 | What hand is that whose icy press Clings to the dead with death''s own grasp, But meets no answering caress-- No thrilling fingers seek its clasp? |
8093 | What hands are here? |
8093 | What has happened? |
8093 | What have I done? |
8093 | What if your wife were that poor boy''s mother,-- And he only sixteen? |
8093 | What is it she does now? |
8093 | What is that? |
8093 | What is the world to them, Its pomp, its pleasure, and its nonsense all? |
8093 | What is to be done? |
8093 | What light through yonder window breaks? |
8093 | What makes you so nervous?" |
8093 | What man art thou, that, thus bescreened in night So stumblest on my counsel? |
8093 | What mercy can you render him, Antonio? |
8093 | What money? |
8093 | What satisfaction canst thou have to- night? |
8093 | What shall I swear by? |
8093 | What snowy crest Climbs out the willows of the west, All weary, wounded, bent, and slow, And dripping from his streaming hair? |
8093 | What sort of an animal must this Yankee cow be? |
8093 | What was thy delighted measure? |
8093 | What would be thy last request? |
8093 | What would you say to me, my Lady Stuart? |
8093 | What''s banished, but set free From daily contact of the things I loathe? |
8093 | What''s banished, but set free From daily contact with the things I loathe? |
8093 | What''s he that wishes so? |
8093 | What''s in a name? |
8093 | What''s the matter? |
8093 | What''though the field be lost`? |
8093 | What, if''twere_ your_ son, instead of another? |
8093 | What, rub and scrub your noble palace clean? |
8093 | What, silent still? |
8093 | What? |
8093 | What_ durst_ not tempt him? |
8093 | When I consider the heavens, the work of Thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man that Thou art mindful of him? |
8093 | When before the great throne you each shall stand,-- And he only sixteen? |
8093 | When the elements, melting with fervent heat, Shall proclaim the triumph of RIGHT complete? |
8093 | When was it she last walked? |
8093 | When? |
8093 | When? |

8093 | Whence is that knocking? |
8093 | Where do you live?" |

8093 | Which is the merchant here, and which the Jew? |
8093 | Who bade the sun Clothe you with rainbows? |
8093 | Who bound him hand and foot? |
8093 | Who could guess If ever more should meet those mutual eyes, Since upon night so sweet such awful morn could rise? |
8093 | Who dragged him down? |
8093 | Who grasped His gold-- his health-- his life-- his hope-- his all? |
8093 | Who in God''s wide world would weep, Should he brave death''s dreamless sleep? |
8093 | Who is here so base, that would be a bondman? |

8093 | Who''s there? |
8093 | Why does my hate melt away at this soft voice with which heaven calls to me? |
8093 | Why doth the Jew pause? |

8093 | Would you like to come to my concert?" |
8093 | Would''st thou withdraw it? |
8093 | Yea, what is all the riot man can make, In his short life, to thine unceasing roar? |
8093 | Yes, they''re mighty pretty, Joe, Smellin''of them''s made you happy? |
8093 | Yet of these flowers Of France, not one, in whose more honeyed breath Thy heart hears Summer whisper? |

8093 | You first and failing from a race? |
8093 | You have brought your bride a wreath? |
8093 | You know I ca n''t wear clogs; and, with no umbrella, the wet''s sure to give me a cold: it always does: but what do you care for that? |
8093 | You love him thus And yet desert him? |

8093 | for what purpose, love? |
8093 | from thee How shall I part, and whither wander down Into a lower world, to this obscure And wild? |
8093 | have ye flown? |
8093 | have you eyes? |

8093 | he said, in a low tone,"who and what are you?" |
8093 | he said,"what sound is that? |
8093 | he thought, were he to taste, Who could the end divine? |
8093 | how can I rest, With this shot- shattered head, and sabre- pierced breast? |
