CUPID. -It may be said of him that Cupid hath clapped him o' the shoulder.
She 'll not be hit With Cupid's arrow; she hath Dian's wit.
We'll have no Cupid hoodwinked with a scarf, Bearing a Tartar's painted bow of lath
Borrow Cupid's wings And soar with them above a common bound

Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim When King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid
No, do thy worst, blind Cupid; I'll not love.

When light-winged toys Of feathered Cupid seel with wanton dullness
Pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids, With divers-coloured fans.
Her andirons-I had forgot them were two winking Cupids Of silver
CUR. Yet did not this cruel-hearted cur shed one tear

And foot me as you spurn a stranger cur Over your threshold

Is it possible A cur can lend three thousand ducats?

Foolish curs, that run winking into the mouth of a Russian bear!

Small curs are not regarded when they grin ; But great men tremble when the lion roars 2 Hen. VI. iii. 1. But, like to village-curs, Bark when their fellows do

I spurn thee like a cur out of my way.

CURB. Most biting laws, The needful bits and curbs to headstrong weeds
Do a great right, do a little wrong, And curb this cruel devil of his will
Thus I'll curb her mad and headstrong humour

With the rusty curb of old father antic the law

CURD.

Good sooth, she is The queen of curds and cream. CURE. For to strange sores strangely they strain the cure. For past cure is still past care

I know most sure My art is not past power, nor you past cure

This league that we have made Will give her sadness very little cure

Care is no cure, but rather corrosive, For things that are not to be remedied
None can cure their harms by wailing them

To fear the worst oft cures the worse.

One desperate grief cures with another's languish

Come weep with me; past hope, past cure, past help!

Peace, ho, for shame! confusion's cure lives not In these confusions
Therefore my hopes, not surfeited to death, Stand in bold cure.

Curer.
CURIOUS.

He is a curer of souls, and you a curer of bodies.

Frank nature, rather curious than in haste, Hath well composed thee
CURIOUSLY. The which if I do not carve most curiously, say my knife 's naught.

CURL. For thou seest it will not curl by nature

CURRANCE. Never came reformation in a flood, With such a heady currance
CURRENT.

This is no answer, thou unfeeling man, To excuse the current of thy cruelty

It holds current that I told you yesternight.

Thou canst make No excuse current, but to hang thyself
He'll turn your current in a ditch, And make your channel his
Provokes itself and like the current flies Each bound it chafes

We must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures

With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action

It is the curse of kings to be attended By slaves that take their humours for a warrant.
Well could I curse away a winter's night, Though standing naked
2 Henry VI. iii. 2.
Ignorance is the curse of God, Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
You know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses Richard III. i. 2.
Can curses pierce the clouds and enter heaven? Why, then, give way, dull clouds !
End thy frantic curse, Lest to thy harm thou move our patience
Curses never pass The lips of those that breathe them in the air
Help me curse That bottled spider, that foul bunch-backed toad!
Their curses now Live where their prayers did

The common curse of mankind, folly and ignorance, be thine in great revenue! Troi. and Cress. ii. 3.
A curse begin at very root on 's heart, That is not glad to see thee!
A plague on thee! thou art too bad to curse

I will be satisfied: deny me this, And an eternal curse fall on you!

It hath the primal eldest curse upon 't, A brother's murder
Dowered with our curse, and strangered with our oath

Hamlet, iii. 3. King Lear, i. 1. Othello, i. 1.

'T is the curse of service, Preferment goes by letter and affection
O curse of marriage, That we can call these delicate creatures ours, And not their appetites!
Curse his better angel from his side, And fall to reprobation
CURSED be my tribe, If I forgive him!

.

What serpent hath suggested thee To make a second fall of cursed man?
Cursed be the hand that made these fatal holes! .
Cursed be the heart that had the heart to do it!

Cursed be that heart that forced us to this shift!.

The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right!
Cursed'st. Good fortune then! To make me blest or cursed'st among men.
CURSORARY. - I have but with a cursorary eye O'erglanced the articles
CURST. In faith, she 's too curst. Too curst is more than curst.
I was never curst; I have no gift at all in shrewishness

Her only fault, and that is faults enough, Is that she is intolerable curst.
They are never curst but when they are hungry

CURTAILED. I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature
CURTAIN. The fringed curtains of thine eye advance, And say what thou seest
We will draw the curtain and show you the picture.

Drew Priam's curtain in the dead of night

Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close; And let us all to meditation
Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night

CURTAL. - Hope is a curtal dog in some affairs

Tents, and canopies, Fine linen, Turkey cushions bossed with pearl CUSTARD.- Boots and spurs and all, like him that leaped into the custard CUSTARD-COFFIN. -It is a paltry cap, A custard-coffin, a bauble, a silken pie CUSTODY. - How darest thou trust So great a charge from thine own custody? CUSTOM. -Till custom make it Their perch and not their terror

Would you have me speak after my custom?

Yet, to supply the ripe wants of my friend, I'll break a custom.

CUSTOM. For herein Fortune shows herself more kind Than is her custom

Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp?
Would beguile Nature of her custom, so perfectly he is her ape
Nice customs curtsy to great kings.

Customs, Though they be never so ridiculous, Nay, let 'em be unmanly, yet are followed Hen. VIII. i. 3.
I do beseech you, Let me o'erleap that custom

Custom calls me to 't: What custom wills, in all things should we do 't
As the custom is, In all her best array bear her to church

All pity choked with custom of fell deeds

Think of this, good peers, But as a thing of custom: 't is no other

Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath To time and mortal custom

Is it a custom?-Ay, marry is 't

It is a custom More honoured in the breach than the observance
Sleeping within my orchard, My custom always of the afternoon
I have of late- but wherefore I know not-lost all my mirth, foregone all custom of exercises ii. 2.
If damned custom have not brassed it so That it is proof and bulwark against sense
That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat, Of habits devil, is angel yet in this
And as the world were now but to begin, Antiquity forgot, custom not known.
Nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will.
Custom hath made it in him a property of easiness
Wherefore should Stand in the plague of custom? .

The tyrant custom, most grave senators

I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment
Such things in a false disloyal knave Are tricks of custom
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety.
This is but a custom in your tongue; you bear a graver purpose, I hope
Stick to your journal course: the breach of custom Is breach of all
CUSTOMARY.Let us teach our trial patience, Because it is a customary cross
'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, Nor customary suits of solemn black
CUSTOM-SHRUNK. - What with poverty, I am custom-shrunk

Thou hidest a thousand daggers in thy thoughts

Do not you wear your dagger in your cap that day, lest he knock that about yours
I know where I will wear this dagger then

Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?
Art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation?

There's daggers in men's smiles: the near in blood, The nearer bloody.
This is the air-drawn dagger which, you said, Led you to Duncan
Let me be cruel, not unnatural: I will speak daggers to her, but use none
Speak to me no more; These words, like daggers, enter in mine ears
Thy words, I grant, are bigger, for I wear not My dagger in my mouth.
DAILY. -O, what men dare do! what men may do! what men daily do!.
