 PREFACE. 
 
 I have been induced to undertake the present work under 
 the idea that, in spite of the many excellent compilations of 
 the same class already in existence, there is scarcely one 
 that is at the same time complete, up-to-date, and sufficiently 
 explicit in the matter of references. To meet this want I 
 have given the fullest possible reference to chapter and verse 
 for each quotation ; and by drawing the quotations from 
 the best obtainable editions of the Authors themselves, and 
 not from other books of reference, I have, I hope, been able 
 to correct many errors which have crept in through the use 
 of " Quotations of Quotations ". 
 
 As it would have been impossible to have included in a 
 single volume a complete list of well-known quotations and 
 sayings from the earliest historic times to the present day, 
 this .work has been divided into Parts, the present volume 
 containing quotations from only English and American 
 Authors, translations being carefully excluded ; I have, 
 however, made an exception in the case of the English 
 Bible. 
 
 The second volume, edited by Mr. T. B. Harbottle, which 
 is now nearly ready for press, will contain quotations from 
 only Greek and Latin writers ; and it is hoped, if the 
 success of these two Parts warrants it, to complete the work 
 with a volume dealing with modern Continental writers. 
 
 My best thanks are due to many friends, especially to Mr. 
 W. Swan Sonnenschein and Mr. J. G. Cotton Minchin, 
 who, during the past five years, have kindly and materially 
 assisted me in my labours, by providing me with many 
 books essential to the undertaking, which I might otherwise 
 have been put to much difficulty and inconvenience to 
 obtain.

 The tender leaves of hope ; to-morrow blossoms, 
 And bears his blushing honours thick upon him ; 
 The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, 
 And — when he thinks, good easy man, full sure 
 His greatness is a-ripening — nips his root, 
 And then he falls as I do. I have ventur'd 
 Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, 
 This many summers in a sea of glory ; 
 But far beyond my depth : my high-blown pride 
 At length broke under me ; and now has left me, 
 Weary and old with service, to the mercy 
 Of a rude stream, that must for ever hide me. 
 Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye : 
 I feel my heart new open'd. O how wretched 
 Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours ! 
 There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, 
 That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, 
 More pangs and fears fhan wars or women have ; 
 And when he falls, he tails like Lucifer, 
 Never to hope again."

 The mere materials with which Wisdom builds, 
 
 Till smooth'd and squared, and fitted to its place, 
 
 Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich.

 Wisdom is humble that he knows no more."

 That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down, 
 And steep my senses in forgetfulness ? 
 Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs, 
 Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, 
 And hush'd with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber, 
 Than in the perfum'd chambers of the great, 
 Under the canopies of costly state, 
 And lull'd with sounds of sweetest melody ? 
 O thou dull god, why liest thou with the vile 
 
228 SLEEP, SILENCE' CHILD— SMALL DEBTS ARE LIKE. 
 
 In loathsome beds, and leav'st the kingly couch 
 
 A watch-case or a common 'larum-bell ? 
 
 Wilt thou upon the high and giddy mast 
 
 Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains 
 
 In cradle of the rude imperious surge, 
 
 And in the visitation of the winds, 
 
 Who take the ruffian billows by the top, 
 
 Curling their monstrous heads, and hanging them 
 
 With deafening clamour in the slippery shrouds, 
 
 That, with the hurly, death itself awakes ? — 
 
 Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose 
 
 To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude ; 
 
 And in the calmest and most stillest night, 
 
 With all appliances, and means to boot, 
 
 Deny it to a king ? Then, happy low, lie down ! 
 
 Uneasv lies the head that wears a crown."

 " The quality of mercy is not strain'd ; 
 It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven 
 Upon the place beneath : it is twice bless'd, 
 It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes: 
 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest ; it becomes 
 The throned monarch better than his crown : 
 His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, 
 The attribute to awe and majesty, 
 Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings ; 
 But mercy is above the sceptred sway, 
 It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, 
 It is an attribute to God himself; 
 And earthly power doth then show likest God's, 
 When mercy seasons justice : Therefore, Jew, 
 Though justice be thy plea, consider this,— 
 That in the course of justice, none of us 
 Should see salvation : we do pray for mercy ; 
 And that same prayer doth teach us all to render 
 The deeds of mercy."

 " To be, or not to be, — that is the question — 
 Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer 
 The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, 
 Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 
 And by opposing end them ? To die — to sleep — 
 No more ; and by a sleep to say we end 
 The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks 
 That flesh is heir to, — 'tis a consummation 
 Devoutly to be wished. To die- -to sleep ; — 
 

 TO BE WEAK— TO BUSINESS. 31 
 
 To sleep ! perchance to dream : ay, there's the rub ; 
 
 For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, 
 
 When we have shuffled off this mortal coil. 
 
 Must give us pause : there's the respect < "* 
 
 That makes calamity of so long life ; 
 
 For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, 
 
 Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, 
 
 The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, 
 
 The insolence of office, and the spurns ^ — 
 
 That patient merit of the unworthy takes, 
 
 When he himself might his quietus make 
 
 With a bare bodkin ? Who would fardels bear, 
 
 To grunt and sweat under a weary life, 
 
 But that the dread of something after death, — 
 
 The undiscovered country, from whose bourn 
 
 No traveller returns, — puzzles the will, 
 
 And makes us rather bear those ills we have 
 
 Than fly to others that we know not of ? 
 
 Thus, conscience does make cowards of us all ; 
 
 And thus the native hue of resolution 
 
 Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought ; 
 
 And enterprises of great pith and moment, 
 
 With this regard their currents turn awry, 
 
 And lose the name of action. — Soft you now 1 1 
 
 The fair Ophelia ! Nymph, in thy orisons / 
 
 Be all my sins remember'd." "

 Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe,

 Where fearing dying pays death servile breath."
