Richard II. i. 3.
With rough and all-unable pen, Our bending author hath pursued the story
I thank God and thee; He was the author, thou the instrument
Not in confidence Of author's pen or actor's voice

-

After all comparisons of truth, As truth's authentic author to be cited
I do not stram at the position, It is familiar, -- but at the author's drift
As if a man were author of himself, And knew no other kin.
The gods of Rome forfend I should be the author to dishonour you
No matter in the phrase that might indict the author of affectation
And he most violent author Of his own just remove.

Authority, though it err like others, Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself
Hence hath offence his quick celerity, When it is borne in high authority
For my authority bears of a credent bulk, That no particular scandal once can touch
O, what authority and show of truth Can cunning sin cover itself withal!
Small have continual plodders ever won Save base authority from others' books
Most sweet Hercules! More authority, dear boy, name more

If law, authority, and power deny not, It will go hard with poor Antonio

I beseech you, Wrest once the law to your authority

I must be patient; there is no fettering of authority

By his great authority; Which often hath no less prevailed

BABE. - Piteous plainings of the pretty babes, That mourned for fashion

How wayward is this foolish love, That, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse

A daughter, and a goodly babe, Lusty and like to live.

So much feared abroad That with his name the mothers still their babes

A mother only mocked with two sweet babes.

Ah, my tender babes! My unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets
Pity, like a naked new-born babe, Striding the blast

Dost thou not see my baby at my breast, That sucks the nurse asleep?

Wisely and truly wisely I say, I am a bachelor . .

BACK. I think I have the back-trick simply as strong as any man
Back-friend, a shoulder-clapper, one that countermands The passages of alleys

It will be of more price, Being spoke behind your back, than to your face

Need and oppression starveth in thine eyes, Contempt and beggary hangs upon thy back

I love and honour him, But must not break my back to heal my finger
Being offered him, he put it by with the back of his hand, thus.

Blow, wind! come, wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back

Among nine bad if one be good, There's yet one good in ten

A miscreant, Too good to be so and too bad to live

Shall seem as light as chaff, And good from bad find no partition
Didst thou never hear That things ill-got had ever bad success?
Counting myself but bad till I be best

You know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses
Bad is the world; and all will come to nought.

Eyes, that so long have slept upon This bold bad man.

Although particular, shall give a scantling Of good or bad unto the general.
That would make good of bad, and friends of foes

Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so
Almost as bad, good mother, As kill a king, and marry with his brother.

I must be cruel, only to be kind: Thus bad begins and worse remains behind
Bad is the trade that must play fool to sorrow, Angering itself and others

BADGE. - Joy could not show itself modest enough without a badge of bitterness
Black is the badge of hell, The hue of dungeons and the suit of night
Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true.

Go we near her that her ear lose nothing Of the false sweet bait that we lay for it
Have you with these contrived, To bait me with this foul derision?

Fish not, with this melancholy bait, For this fool gudgeon, this opinion
If the young dace be a bait for the old pike.

Be caught with cautelous baits and practice.

With words more sweet, and yet more dangerous, Than baits to fish
And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks

See you now; Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth.
Not born where 't grows, But worn a bait for ladies.

BAITED.Why stay we to be baited With one that wants her wits?
To be baited with the rabble's curse
