BROW.-Thou hast the right arched beauty of the brow that becomes the ship-tire
But speak you this with a sad brow? or do you play the flouting Jack?
But, in faith, honest as the skin between his brows

With a velvet brow, With two pitch-balls stuck in her face for eyes
Never paint me now: Where fair is not, praise cannot mend the brow
What peremptory eagle-sighted eye Dares look upon the heaven of her brow?
O, if in black my lady's brows be decked

.

Though the mourning brow of progeny Forbid the smiling courtesy of love.
The lover, all as frantic, Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt
In religion, What damned error, but some sober brow Will bless it?
To view with hollow eye and wrinkled brow An age of poverty.
'T is not your inky brows, your black silk hair, Your bugle eyeballs
As I guess By the stern brow and waspish action.

Unknit that threatening unkind brow, And dart not scornful glances
To sit and draw His arched brows, his hawking eye, his curls
My father had a mole upon his brow. -And so had mine.
O, that is entertainment My bosom likes not, nor my brows
You look As if you held a brow of much distraction
Black brows, they say, Become some women best
Hanged in the frowning wrinkle of her brow! And quartered in her heart!
When your head did but ache, I knit my handkercher about your brows.
Why do you bend such solemn brows on me? Think you I bear the shears of destiny?
With wrinkled brows, with nods, with rolling eyes

I see your brows are full of discontent, Your hearts of sorrow, and your eyes of tears
Beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow, Like bubbles in a late-disturbed stream 1 Henry IV. ii. 3.
This man's brow, like to a title-leaf, Foretells the nature of a tragic volume . 2 Henry IV. i. 1.

BROW.

It is not a confident brow, nor the throng of words that come .
As he whose brow with homely biggen bound Snores out the watch of night

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings Brutus will start a spirit as soon as Cæsar

There was a Brutus once that would have brooked The eternal devil.

I am not sick, if Brutus have in hand Any exploit worthy the name of honour

Brutus had rather be a villager Than to repute himself a son of Rome

Mark Antony shall love not Cæsar dead So well as Brutus living

The noble Brutus Hath told you Cæsar was ambitious.

For Brutus is an honourable man: So are they all, all honourable men

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know

I am no orator, as Brutus is; But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man

In your bad strokes, Brutus, you give good words

Think not, thou noble Roman, That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome

I am Brutus, Marcus Brutus, I; Brutus, my country's friend; know me for Brutus!
Brutus only overcame himself, And no man else hath honour by his death
BUBBLE. Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth.
Beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow, Like bubbles in a late-disturbed
