Cassius, you yourself Are much condemned to have an itching palm

I do not know the man I should avoid So soon as that spare Cassius

Cassius is A wretched creature and must bend his body, If Cæsar carelessly but nod on him.

I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die.

It is as proper to our age To cast beyond ourselves in our opinions.

Thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought CASTING. There was casting up of eyes, holding up of hands

CASTLE.

Comes at the last and with a little pin Bores through his castle wall This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself Though castles topple on their warders' heads.

What though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care.
I could play Ercles rarely, or a part to tear a cat in, to make all split

Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose, Or I will shake thee!
Snail-slow in profit, and he sleeps by day More than the wild-cat
Men there are love not a gaping pig; Some, that are mad if they behold a cat.
Why he cannot abide a gaping pig; Why he, a harmless necessary cat
She shall have no more eyes to see withal than a cat

I could endure any thing before but a cat, and now he's a cat to me
A pox upon him for me, he 's more and more a cat

Tut, never fear me; I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream

Playing the mouse in absence of the cat, To tear and havoc more than she can eat
It follows then the cat must stay at home; Yet that is but a crushed necessity.
The mouse ne'er shunned the cat as they did budge.
