These are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater Love's L. Lost, iv. 2.
Children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy

BEGUILE. — Light seeking light doth light of light beguile

How shall we beguile The lazy time, if not with some delight?

To beguile the old folks, how the young folks lay their heads together

I will bespeak our diet, Whiles you beguile the time and feed your knowledge
Would beguile Nature of her custom, so perfectly he is her ape.

O flattering glass, Like to my followers in prosperity, Thou dost beguile me!
To beguile the time, Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye
My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile The tedious day with sleep
I did consent, And often did beguile her of her tears

.

I am not merry; but I do beguile The thing I am, by seeming otherwise BEGUILED.- You have beguiled me with a counterfeit Resembling majesty Therefore is Love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguiled I am no flatterer: he that beguiled you in a plain accent was a plain knave Thou art not vanquished, But cozened and beguiled

To beguile many and be beguiled by one

BEGUN. Let us do those ends That here were well begun and well begot
This day, all things begun come to ill end

Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill

I have done my work ill, friends: O, make an end Of what I have begun BEHALF. You are too officious In her behalf that scorns your services

What an unweighed behaviour hath this Flemish drunkard picked - with the devil's name! . ii. 1.
Seeing how much another man is a fool when he dedicates his behaviours to love
Whom she hath in all outward behaviours seemed ever to abhor

All his behaviours did make their retire To the court of his eye.

His gait majestical, and his general behaviour vain, ridiculous, and thrasonical
Lest through thy wild behaviour I be misconstrued

The behaviour of the country is most mockable at the court
Lest over-eyeing of his odd behaviour.

This young man, for learning and behaviour Fit for her turn, well read in poetry.
Her affability and bashful modesty, Her wondrous qualities and mild behaviour
He was a frantic fool, Hiding his bitter jests in blunt behaviour
Thine eyes See it so grossly shown in thy behaviours

He has been yonder i' the sun practising behaviour to his own shadow
So shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviours from the great

It were a very gross kind of behaviour, as they say
Which give some soil perhaps to my behaviours

BEING. There is none but he Whose being I do fear

Every minute of his being thrusts Against my nearest of life.

It did seem to shatter all his bulk And end his being
Took such sorrow That he quit being.

Julius Cæsar, iii. 2. Romeo and Juliet, iv. 3.

BELDAM. - Old men and beldams in the streets Do prophesy upon it dangerously.
Shakes the old beldam earth and topples down Steeples and moss-grown towers
BE-LEE' D. Must be be-lee'd and calmed By debitor and creditor
BELIEF. Drove the grossness of the foppery into a received belief.
May in some little measure draw a belief from you, to do yourself good
Let belief and life encounter so As doth the fury of two desperate men
And to be king Stands not within the prospect of belief

Will not let belief take hold of him Touching this dreaded sight.
This accident is not unlike my dream: Belief of it oppresses me already.
BELIEVE. - Make us but believe, Being compact of credit, that you do love us
For others say thou dost deserve, and I Believe it better than reportingly
Believe then, if you please, that I can do strange things

I sometimes do believe, and sometimes do not.

BELL. He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper.
Slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth like bells, Each under each
If ever been where bells have knolled to church
Bell, book, and candle shall not drive me back

The midnight bell Did, with his iron tongue and brazen mouth, Sound on
His tongue Sounds ever after as a sullen bell

Ring, bells, aloud; burn, bonfires, clear and bright

BELL.

Go bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready, She strike upon the bell.
I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan
Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh

You are pictures out of doors, Bells in your parlours, wild-cats in your kitchens
Silence that dreadful bell; it frights the isle From her propriety
Fill our bowls once more; Let's mock the midnight bell

BELLIES. With hearts in their bellies no bigger than pins' heads
The fatal bellman, Which gives the stern'st good-night

BELLMAN.

For flattery is the bellows blows up sin

This whale, with so many tuns of oil in his belly

My belly's as cold as if I had swallowed snowballs for pills

I dare not for my head fill my belly; one fruitful meal would set me to't
And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined.

I am the fellow with the great belly, and he my dog.

A white beard? a decreasing leg? an increasing belly? is not your voice broken?
An I had but a belly of any indifferency, I were simply the most active fellow in Europe.
Who wears his wit in his belly and his guts in his head.

There was a time when all the body's members Rebelled against the belly
Your most grave belly was deliberate, Not rash like his accusers
BELLYFUL. Rumble thy bellyful! Spit, fire! spout, rain!
