BUSINESS.-The business of this man looks out of him; we 'll hear him what he says Ant. and Cleo. v. 1.

'Tis not sleepy business; But must be looked to speedily and strongly There's business in these faces

Businesses. I am so full of businesses, I cannot answer thee acutely

I was well born, Nothing acquainted with these businesses

I have to-night dispatched sixteen businesses, a month's length a-piece
Having made me businesses which none without thee can sufficiently manage.

A thousand businesses are brief in hand, And heaven itself doth frown
BUSTLE. And leave the world for me to bustle in.

BUSY. Brief, I pray you; for you see it is a busy time with me.
With busy hammers closing rivets up.

My brain, more busy than the labouring spider, Weaves tedious snares
Take thy fortune; Thou find'st to be too busy is some danger

In the mean time, Let me be thought too busy in my fears
BUTCHER. - The very butcher of a silk button, a duellist
That I am meek and gentle with these butchers
Prithee, dispatch: The lamb entreats the butcher
BUTCHERY. - This is no place, this house is but a butchery
BUTT. Look, how you butt yourself in these sharp mocks!

I am your butt, and I abide your shot

The beast With many heads butts me away

The very pin of his heart cleft with the blind bow-boy's butt-shaft.

Here is my butt, And very sea-mark of my utmost sail

BUTT-END. — - That is the butt-end of a mother's blessing

Butterflies.-Pluck the wings from painted butterflies, To fan the moonbeams
Men, like butterflies, Show not their mealy wings but to the summer.
With no less confidence Than boys pursuing summer butterflies
Laugh At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues Talk of court news

Cæsar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius; come not near Casca

Is there no voice more worthy than my own, To sound more sweetly in great Cæsar's ear
O mighty Cæsar! dost thou lie so low?

I come to bury Cæsar, not to praise him

When that the poor have cried, Cæsar hath wept

But yesterday the word of Cæsar might Have stood against the world

And put a tongue In every wound of Cæsar

Imperious Cæsar, dead and turned to clay, Might stop a hole to keep the wind away

He is a soldier fit to stand by Cæsar And give direction

He that will have a cake out of the wheat must needs tarry the grinding.
The making of the cake, the heating of the oven, and the baking

Call you me fair? that fair again unsay.

You were best to call them generally, man by man

I am as like to call thee so again, To spit on thee again, to spurn thee too
What shall I call thee when thou art a man?

I can call spirits from the vasty deep. Why, so can I, or so can any man .
