BELL-Go bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready, She strike upon the bell
I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan
Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and barsh

You are pictures out of doors, Bells in your parlours, wild-cats in your kitchens
Suence that dreadful bell; it frights the isle From her propriety
Fill our bowls once more; Let's mock the midnight bell

BELLIES.- With hearts in their bellies no bigger than pins' heads
The fatal bellman, Which gives the stern'st good-night

BELLMAN.

BELLOWED.
BELLOWS.

BELLY

He fastened on my neck, and bellowed out As he 'ld burst heaven
For flattery is the bellows blows up sin

- This whale, with so many tuns of oil in his belly

My belly's as cold as if I had swallowed snowballs for pills

I care not for my head fill my belly; one fruitful meal would set me to't

And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined

I am the fellow with the great belly, and he my dog.

The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby

Nor coign of vantage, but this bird Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle
The obscure bird Clamoured the livelong night.

The poor wren, The most diminutive of birds, will fight

And what will you do now? How will you live?— As birds do, mother

Poor bird! thou 'ldst never fear the net nor lime, The pitfall nor the gin
