ACCIDENT.-'T is an accident that heaven provides

This is an accident of hourly proof, Which I mistrusted not

Meas. for Meas. iv. 3.
Much A do, ii. 1.

Think no more of this night's accidents But as the fierce vexation of a dream Mid. N. Dream, iv. 1.

Yet doth this accident and flood of fortune So far exceed all instance

But as the unthought-on accident is guilty To what we wildly do

'Tis not a visitation framed, but forced By need and accident

And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents .

Spirits that admonish me And give me signs of future accidents
As place, riches, favour, Prizes of accident as oft as merit.
Let these threats alone, Till accident or purpose bring you to't.
Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident

Even his mother shall uncharge the practice And call it accident
Delays as many As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents
This accident is not unlike my dream: Belief of it oppresses me
Of moving accidents by flood and field, Of hair-breadth scapes .

The shot of accident, nor dart of chance, Could neither graze nor pierce
These bloody accidents must excuse my manners.

Do it at once; Orthy precedent services are all But accidents unpurposed

ACRE. - Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground
My bosky acres and my unshrubbed down, Rich scarf to my proud earth

In those holy fields Over whose acres walked those blessed feet.

If thou prate of mountains, let them throw Millions of acres on us. ACT. To perform an act Whereof what's past is prologue.

We do not act that often jest and laugh

Now puts the drowsy and neglected act Freshly on me.

His act did not o'ertake his bad intent, And must be buried but as an intent

One man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages

On us both did haggish age steal on, And wore us out of act.
Honours thrive, When rather from our acts we them derive
And would not put my reputation now In any staining act

He finished indeed his mortal act That day

The dignity of this act was worth the audience of kings and princes
The better act of purposes mistook Is to mistake again.

Though that my death were adjunct to my act, By heaven, I would do it.
This act is as an ancient tale new told, And in the last repeating troublesome
If I in act, consent, or sin of thought Be guilty

Be great in act, as you have been in thought

The most arch act of piteous massacre That ever yet this land was guilty of
The honour of it Does pay the act of it

The desire is boundless and the act a slave to limit

The book of his good acts, whence men have read His fame unparalleled
So smile the heavens upon this holy act.

Thy wild acts denote The unreasonable fury of a beast

My dismal scene I needs must act alone.
