ASHES. — I shall show the cinders of my spirits Through the ashes of my chance Ant. and Cleo v. 2. Asta. Roaming clean through the bounds of Asia

I will ferch you a toothpicker now from the furthest inch of Asia
Hollow pampered jades of Asia, Which cannot go but thirty mile a-day
Ask. And rather muse than ask why I entreat you

I wonder in my soul, What you would ask me, that I should deny.
ASLEEP.- - Will you laugh me asleep, for I am very heavy?.
This is a strange repose, to be asleep With eyes wide open
Then death rock me asleep, abridge my doleful days!
Where's my fool, ho? I think the world 's asleep.

ASTECT. Know my aspect, And fashion your demeanour to my looks
Of such vinegar aspect That they 'll not show their teeth in way of smile
I tell thee, lady, this aspect of mine Hath feared the valiant

Our arms, like to a muzzled bear, Save in aspect, hath all offence sealed up
That close aspect of his Does show the mood of a much troubled breast.
For our eyes do hate the dire aspect of civil wounds

Rendered such aspect As cloudy men use to their adversaries

O that I had been writ down an ass! .

I am such a tender ass, if my hair do but tickle me, I must scratch
What visions have I seen! Methought I was enamoured of an ass
Man is brat an ass, if he go about to expound this dream

With the help of a surgeon he might yet recover, and prove an ass
If it do come to pass, That any man turn ass, Leaving his wealth and ease.
I am not such an ass but I can keep my hand dry

As affectioned ass, that cons state without book and utters it by great swarths
Come, you virtuous ass, you bashful fool, must you be blushing?
New, what a thing it is to be an ass!

Upon mine honour, Then came each actor on his ass
