MACBETH,-continued. And yet would'st wrongly win; thou'dst have, great Glamis, MAD-CAP. Why, what a mad-cap hath heaven lent us here! Well, then, once in my days I'll be a mad-cap. M. i. 5. K. J. i. 1. H. IV. PT. I. i. 2. MADNESS (See also DESPONDENcy, Derangement). Mad, call I it: for, to define true madness, A sight most pitiful in the meanest wretch; And he, repulsed, (a short tale to make,) Alack, 'tis he; why, he was met even now In our sustaining corn. Oh, he is more mad Than Telamon for his shield; the boar of Thessaly H. ii. 2. K. L. iv. 6. H. ii. 2. K. L. iv. 4. Was never so imbost. A. C. iv. 11. O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!

It is the very error of the moon; She comes more near the earth than she was wont; O, matter and impertinency mix'd! That he is mad, 'tis true; 'tis true, 'tis pity; And pity 'tis, 'tis true. Mad world, mad kings, mad composition. I am as mad as he, If sad and merry madness equal be. O prince, I conjure thee, as thou believ'st It is not madness, That I have utter'd bring me to the test, Madness in great ones must not unwatch'd go. METHODICAL. By mine honesty, If she be mad, (as I believe no other,) Her madness hath the oddest frame of sense, As e'er I heard in madness. MAGNANIMITY. Our spoils he kick'd at ; And look'd upon things precious, as they were Had I great Juno's power, And set thee by Jove's side. The strong-wing'd Mercury should fetch thee up, H. ii. 2. 0. v. 2. K.

You nimble lightnings, dart your blinding flames Feed not thy sovereign's foe, my gentle earth, Nor, with thy sweets, comfort his ravenous sense: K. L. ii. 4. MALEDICTION,-continued. As wicked dew, as e'er my mother brush'd, Richard yet lives, hell's black intelligencer; The plague of Greece upon thee, thou mongrel Hear, Nature, hear; * dear goddess, hear!
