Not in confidence Of author's pen or actor's voice

After all comparisons of truth, As truth's authentic author to be cited

I do not stram at the position, It is familiar, but at the author's drift
As if a man were author of himself, And knew no other kin.
The gods of Rome forfend I should be the author to dishonour you
No matter in the phrase that might indict the author of affectation
And he most violent author Of his own just remove.

The attribute to awe and majesty Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings
Art thou aught else but place, degree, and form, Creating awe and fear in other?.
Conscience is but a word that cowards use, Devised at first to keep the strong in awe Richard III. v. 3.

How wayward is this foolish love, That, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse
For I am rough and woo not like a babe.

.

So holy writ in babes hath judgement shown When judges have been babes
A daughter, and a goodly babe, Lusty and like to live.

So much feared abroad That with his name the mothers still their babes
A mother only mocked with two sweet babes

Ah, my tender babes! My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets
Pity, like a naked new-born babe, Striding the blast

I have given suck, and know How tender 't is to love the babe that milks me
And, heart with strings of steel, Be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!

Come, come, and take a queen Worth many babes and beggars!
BABOON. The strain of man 's bred out Into baboon and monkey
Cool it with a baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good
I would change my humanity with a baboon

BABY.

The baby beats the nurse, and quite athwart Goes all decorum Commend these waters to those baby eyes That never saw the giant world Look to 't in time; She 'll hamper thee, and dandle thee like a baby. The baby figure of the giant mass Of things to come at large.

Think yourself a baby; That you have ta'en these tenders for true pay

BACK. I think I have the back-trick simply as strong as any man

Shall seem as light as chaff, And good from bad find no partition

Counting myself but bad till I be best

You know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses
Bad is the world; and all will come to nought.

Eyes, that so long have slept upon This bold bad man

Although particular, shall give a scantling Of good or bad unto the general.
That would make good of bad, and friends of foes
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so
Almost as bad, good mother, As kill a king, and marry with his brother.

I must be cruel, only to be kind: Thus bad begins and worse remains behind
Bad is the trade that must play fool to sorrow, Angering itself and others
Heaven me such uses send, Not to pick bad from bad, but by bad mend!
