 GIFT OF 
 
 Mrs. C, Grant Loomis 
 
ADDRESS. 
 
 The vast number of female portraits which have recently 
 been published in illustration of the productions of our 
 modern authors, naturally excite, in the least reflective 
 mind, the very obvious question, Wherefore have the sweet 
 and beautiful characters of our great Poet — of the great 
 Poet — of him with whose exquisite creations our imagina- 
 tions have been familiarized from our earliest infancy, been 
 neglected by the modern artist? Why has he, whose 
 writings contain the most gorgeous and endless mine of 
 lovely subjects for the pencil, been unheeded and forgotten, 
 while the more material heroines of authors comparatively 
 circumscribed and secondary, have been presented, and 
 re-presented to us, under every form and aspect, almost 
 usque ad fiauseam ? 
 
 This remarkable omission the present work is intended 
 to remedy.

VIOLA. 
 
 Duke. How dost thou like this tune ? 
 
 Viola. It gives a very echo to the seat 
 Where Love is thron'd. 
 
 Duke. Thou dost speak masterly : 
 My life upon't, young though thou art, thine eye 
 Hath stay'd upon some favour that it loves : 
 Hath it not, boy ? 
 
 Viola. A little, by your favour. 
 
 Duke. What kind of woman is't? 
 
 Viola. Of your complexion. 
 
 Duke. She's not worth thee then. What years, i' faith ? 
 
 Viola. About your years, my lord. 
 
 Duke. Too old, by heaven ; Let still the woman take 
 An elder than herself; so wears she to him. 
 So sways she level in her husband's heart. 
 For, boy, however we do praise ourselves. 
 Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm. 
 More longing, wavering, sooner lost and worn, 
 Than women's are. 
 
 Viola. I tliink it well, my lord. 
 
 Duke. Then let thy love be younger than thyself. 
 Or thy affection cannot hold the bent : 
 For women are as roses ; whose fair flower. 
 Being once displayed, doth fall that very hour. 
 
 Viola. And so they are : alas, that they are so ; 
 To die, even when they to perfection grow !

BEATRICE. 
 
 Benedick. By my sword, Beatrice, thou lovest me. 
 
 Beatrice. Do not swear by it, and eat it. 
 
 Benedick. I will swear by it, that you love me ; and I will 
 make him eat it, that says, I love not you. 
 
 Beatrice. Will you not eat your word? 
 
 Benedick. With no sauce that can be devised to it : !• protest 
 I love thee. 
 
 Beatrice. Why then, God forgive me ! 
 
 Benedick. What offence, sweet Beatrice ? 
 
 Beatrice. You have staid me in a happy hour ; I was about to 
 protest, I loved you. 
 
 Benedick. And do it with all thy heart. 
 
 Beatrice. I love you with so much of my heart that none is left 
 to protest. 
 
 Benedick. Come, bid me do any thing for thee. 
 
 Beatrice. Kill Claudio. 
 
 Benedick. Ha ! not for the wide world. 
 
 Beatrice. You kill me to deny it : Farefwell ! 
 
 Benedick. Tarry, sweet Beatrice. 
 
 Beatrice. I am gone, though I am here ; — there is no love 
 you : — nay, I pray you, let me go.

 Slender. I am not a-hungry, I thank you, forsooth : Go, sirrah,

 Slender. V faith, Pll eat nothing ; I thank you as much as though 
 I did. 
 
 Anne. I pray you. Sir, walk in. 
 
 Slender. I had rather walk here, I thank you : I bruised my 
 shin the other day with playing at sword and dagger with a master 
 of fence, three veneys for a dish of stewed prunes ; and, by my

PERDITA. 
 
 Perdita. Now, my fairest friend, 
 
 I would, I had some flowers o' the spring, that might 
 Become your time of day ; and yours ; and yours ; 
 
 Daffodils, 
 That come before the swallow dares, and take 
 The winds of March with beauty ; violets, dim, 
 But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes, 
 Or Cytherea's breath ; pale primroses, 
 That die unmarried, ere they can behold 
 Bright Phoebus in his strength ; bold oxlips, and 
 The crown-imperial ; lilies of all kinds. 
 The flower-de-luce being one ! O, these I lack, 
 To make you garlands of; and, my sweet friend, 
 To strew him o'er and o'er. 
 
 Florizel. What ? like a corse ? 
 
 Per. No, like a bank, for love to lie and play on ; 
 Not like a corse : or if, — not to be buried. 
 But quick, and in mine arms. Come, take your flowers : 
 Methinks, I play as I have seen them do 
 In Whitsun' pastorals : sure, this robe of mine 
 Does change my disposition. 
 
 Flo. What you do. 
 
 Still betters what is done. W^hen you speak, sweet, 
 I'd have you do it ever : w'hen you sing, 
 I'd have you buy and sell so ; so give alms ; 
 Pray so ; and, for the ordering your affairs, 
 To sing them too : When you do dance, I wish you 
 A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do 
 Nothing but that ; move still, still so, and own 
 No other function : Each your doing. 
 So singular in each particular. 
 Crowns what you are doing in the present deeds. 
 That all your acts are queens.

OPHELIA. 
 
 ErUer Ophelia, fantastically dressed with Straws and Flowers. 
 
 O heat, dry up my brains ! tears, seven times salt, 
 Burn out the sense and virtue of mine eye ! — 
 By heaven, thy madness shall be paid with weight. 
 Till our scale turn the beam. O rose of May ! 
 Dear maid, kind sister, sweet Ophelia ! — 
 O heavens ! is't possible, a young maid's wits 
 Should be as mortal as an old man's life ? 
 Nature is fine in love : and, where 'tis fine. 
 It sends some precious instance of itself 
 After the thing it loves. 
 Oph. They bore him barefaced on the bier ; 
 Hey no nonny, nonny hey nonny .- 
 And in his grave rain'd many a tear ; — 
 Fare you well, my dove ! 
 
 Laertes. Hadst thou thy wits, and didst persuade revenge. 
 It could not move thus. 
 
 Oph. You must sing, Down-a-down, an you call him a-down-a. 
 O, how the wheel becomes it ! it is the false steward, that stole his 
 master's daughter. 
 
 Laer. This nothing's more than matter. 
 
 Oph. There's rosemary, that's for remembrance ; pray you, love, 
 remember : and there is pansies, that's for thoughts. 
 
 Laer. A document in madness ; thoughts and remembrance filled. 
 Oph. There's fennel for you, and columbines: — there's rue for 
 you ; and here's some for me : — we may call it herb of grace 
 o' Sundays : — you may wear your rue with a difference. — There's a 
 daisy : — 1 would give you some violets ; but they withered all, when 
 my father died : — They say, he made a good end. —

HELENA. 
 
 Helena. O, were that all !— I think not on my father ; 
 
 And these great tears grace his remembrance more 
 
 Than those I shed for him. What was he like ? 
 
 I have forgot him : my imagination 
 
 Carries no favour in it but Bertram's. 
 
 I am undone ; there is no living, none, 
 
 If Bertram be away. It were all one, 
 
 That I should love a bright particular star, 
 
 And think to wed it, he is so above me : 
 
 In his bright radiance and collateral light 
 
 Must I be comforted, not in his sphere. 
 
 The ambition in my love thus plagues itself: 
 
 The hind, that would be mated by the lion. 
 Must die for love. 'Twas pretty, though a plague. 
 To see him every hour ; to sit and draw 
 His arched brows, his hawking eye, his curls, 
 In our heart's table ; heart, too capable 
 Of every line and trick of his sweet favour : 
 But now he's gone, and my idolatrous fancy 
 Must sanctify his relics. Who comes here ?

 Nurse. Marry, that, I think, be young Petruchio.

 Nurse. I know not. 
 
 Jul. Go, ask his name : — if he be married. 
 My grave is like to be my wedding bed. 
 
 Nurse. His name is Romeo, and a Montague; 
 The only son of your great enemy. 
 
 Jul. My only love sprung from my only hate ! 
 Too early seen unknown, and known too late ! 
 Prodigious birth of love it is to me. 
 That I must love a loathed enemy. 
 
 Nurse. What's this ? what's this ?

ROSALIND. 
 
 Orlando. Did you ever cure any so ? 
 
 Rosalind. Yes, one ; and in this manner. He was to imagine 
 me his love, liis mistress ; and I set him every day to woo me : At 
 which time would I, being but a moonish youth, grieve, be effemi- 
 nate, changeable, longing, and liking; proud, fantastical, apish, 
 shallow, inconstant, full of tears, full of smiles; for every passion 
 something, and for no passion truly any thing, as boys and women 
 are for the most part cattle of this colour : would now like him, now 
 loathe him ; then entertain him, then forswear him ; now weep for 
 him, then spit at him ; then I drave my suitor from his mad humour 
 of love, to a living humour of madness ; which was, to forswear the 
 full stream of the world, and to live in a nook merely monastic : 
 And thus I cured him ; and this way will 1 take upon me to wash 
 your liver as clean as a sound sheep's heart, that there shall not be 
 one spot of love in't. 
 
 Orl. I would not be cured, youth. 
 
 Ros. I would cure you, if you would but call me Rosalind, and 
 come every day to my cote, and woo me. 
 
 Orl. Now, by the faith of my love, I will ; tell me where it is. 
 
 Ros. Go with me to it, and I'll show it to you : and, by the 
 way, you shall tell me where in the forest you live : Will you go ? 
 
 Orl. With all my heart, good youth. 
 
 Ros. Nay, you must call me Rosalind : — Come, sister, will you 
 go ? (Exeunt. J

 Isab. My brother did love Juliet ; and you tell me, 
 That he shall die for it. 
 
 Ang. He shall not, Isabel, if you give me love. 
 
 Isab. I know, your virtue hath a licence in't. 
 Which seems a little fouler than it is. 
 To pluck on others. 
 
 Ang. Believe me, on mine honour. 
 
 My words express my purpose. 
 
 Isab. Ha ! little honour to be much believ'd. 
 And most pernicious purpose ! — Seeming, seeming ! — 
 I will proclaim thee, Angelo ; look for't : 
 Sign me a present pardon for my brother, 
 Or, with an outstretch'd throat, Pll tell the world

DESDEMONA. 
 
 Othello. These things to hear, 
 
 Would Desdemona seriously incline : 
 But still the house affairs would draw her thence ; 
 Which ever, as she could with haste despatch, 
 She'd come again, and with a greedy ear 
 Devour up my discourse : Which I observing, 
 Took once a pliant hour ; and found good means 
 To draw from her a prayer of earnest heart, 
 That I would all my pilgrimage dilate, 
 Whereof by parcels she had something heard. 
 But not intentively : I did consent ; 
 And often did beguile her of her tears. 
 When I did speak of some distressful stroke. 
 That my youth suffer 'd. My story being done. 
 She gave me for my pains a world of sighs : 
 She swore, — In faith, 'twas strange, 'twas passing strange ; 
 'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful : 
 She wish'd she had not heard it ; yet she wish'd 
 That heaven had made her such a man : she thank'd me ; 
 And bade me, if I had a friend that lov'd her, 
 I should but teach him how to tell my story. 
 And that would woo her. Upon this hint, I spake : 
 She lov'd me for the dangers I liad pass'd ; 
 And I lov'd her, that she did pity them.

 Alas, poor Proteus ! thou hast entertained

 Alas, poor fool ! why do I pity him 
 That with his very heart despiseth me ? 
 Because he loves her, he despiseth me ; 
 Because I love him, I must pity him. 
 This ring I gave him, when he parted from me, 
 To bind him to remember my good-will : 
 And now am I (unhappy messenger !) 
 To plead for that, which I would not obtain ; 
 To carry that, which I would have refused ; 
 To praise his faith, which I would have disprais'd. 
 I am my master's true confirmed love ; 
 But cannot be true servant to my master. 
 Unless I prove false traitor to myself. 
 Yet I will woo for him ; but yet so coldly,

 At length Her Grace rose, and with modest paces 
 Came to the altar : where she kneel'd, and, saint-like, 
 Cast her fair eyes to heaven, and prayed devoutly. 
 Then rose again, and bow'd her to the people : 
 When by the Archbishop of Canterbury 
 She had all the royal makings of a Queen ; 
 As holy oil, Edward Confessor's crown, 
 The rod, and bird of peace, and all such emblems 
 Laid nobly on her ; which performed, the choir, 
 With all the choicest music of the kingdom, 
 Together sung Te Deum. So she parted. 
 And with the same full state pac'd back again, 
 To York-place, where the feast is held.

 But that my resolution helps me. — Milford, 
 When from the mountain-top Pisanio show'd thee, 
 Thou wast within a ken : O Jove ! I think. 
 Foundations fly the wretched : such, I mean. 
 Where they should be relieved. Two beggars told me, 
 I could not miss my way : will poor folks lie, 
 That have affliction on them ; knowing 'tis 
 A punishment, or trial ? Yes ; no wonder. 
 When rich ones scarce tell true : To lapse in fuhiess 
 Is sorer, than to lie in need ; and falsehood 
 Is worse in kings, tlian beggars. — My dear lord ! 
 Thou art one of the false ones : Now I think on thee. 
 My hunger's gone ; but even before, 1 was 
 At point to sink for food. — But what is this ? 
 Here is a path to it ; 'Tis some savage hold : 
 I M'ere best not call ; 1 dare not call : yet famine, 
 Ere clean it o'erthrow nature, makes it valiant. 
 Plenty, and peace, breeds cowards : hardness ever 
 Of hardiness is mother. — Ho ! who's here ? 
 If any thing that's civil, speak ; if savage. 
 Take, or lend. — Ho ! — No answer ; then I'll enter. 
 Best draw my sword ; and if mine enemy 
 But fear the sword like me, he'll scarcely look on't. 
 Such a foe, good heavens ! {She goes into the cave.

 Cleopatra. O Charmian, 
 
 Where think'st thou he is now ? Stands he, or sits he ? 
 Or does lie walk ? or is he on his horse ? 
 O happy horse, to bear the weight of Antony .' 
 Do bravely, horse ! for wot'st thou whom thou mov'st ? 
 The demy Atlas of this earth, the arm 
 And burgonet of men. — He's speaking now, 
 Or murmuring, ' Whereas my serpent of old Nile T 
 For so he calls me ; — -Now I feed myself 
 With most delicious poison : — Think on me. 
 That am with Phoebus' amorous pinches black. 
 And wrinkled deep in time ! Broad-fronted Caesar, 
 When thou wast here above the ground, I was 
 A morsel for a monarch : and great Pompey 
 Would stand, and make his eyes grow in my brow ; 
 There would he anchor his aspect, and die 
 With looking on his life.

QUEEN MARGARET. 
 
 Messenger. My lord ambassador, these letters aie for yoii ; 
 Sent from your brother, marquis Montague. 
 These from our king unto your majesty. — 
 And, madam, these for you ; from whom, I know not. 
 
 [ To Margaret. They all read their letters. 
 
 Oxford. I like it well, that our fair queen and mistress 
 Smiles at her news, while Warwick frowns at his. 
 
 Prince. Nay, mark, how Lewis stamps as he were nettled : 
 I hope, all's for the best. 
 
 King Lewis. Warwick, what are thy news? and your'.-, fair 
 queen ? 
 
 Qiieen Margaret. Mine, such as fills my heart with unhoped joys. 
 
 IVarivick. Mine, full of sorrow and heart's discontent. 
 
 A'. Litcis. What ! has your king married the Lady Grey ? 
 And now, to sooth your forgery and his. 
 Sends me a paper to persuade me patience ? 
 Is this the alliance that he seeks with France ? 
 Dare he presume to scorn us in this manner ? 
 
 Q. Mar. I told your majesty as much before : 
 This proveth Edward's love, and Warwick's honesty.
