He speaks the mere contrary; crosses love not him

We are on the earth, Where nothing lives but crosses, cares, and grief
You are too impatient to bear crosses.

What perils past, what crosses to ensue.

Our crosses on the way Have made it tedious, wearisome, and heavy.

CROW. -- I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me

My lungs began to crow like chanticleer.

E'en a crow o' the same nest; not altogether so great as the first in goodness.

To thrill and shake Even at the crying of your nation's crow.

There with fantastic garlands did she come Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies
Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword.

CROWN. -
Against our laws, Against my crown, my oath, my dignity

From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth
Crowns him with flowers, and makes him all her joy

It becomes The throned monarch better than his crown

The fine 's the crown; Whate'er the course, the end is the renown
Within the hollow crown That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Now is this golden crown like a deep well

We must have bloody noses and cracked crowns, And pass them current too
Then happy low, lie down! Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
'T is not the balm, the sceptre, and the ball, The sword, the mace, the crown
Contrary to the king, his crown and dignity, thou hast built a paper-mill
Do but think How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown

A crown, or else a glorious tomb! A sceptre, or an earthly sepulchre !
My crown is called content; A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.
