It argues an act: and an act hath three branches; it is, to act, to do, to perform My outward action doth demonstrate The native act and figure of my heart. When the blood is made dull with the act of sport Though I am bound to every act of duty, I am not bound to that all slaves are free to. We shall remain in friendship, our conditions So differing in their acts Senseless bauble, Art thou a feodary for this act? It is no act of common passage, but A strain of rareness Few love to hear the sins they love to act ACTED. How many ages hence Shall this our lofty scene be acted over!
