DESERT,-continued. A forted residence, 'gainst the tooth of time, But let desert in pure election shine. M. M. v. 1. Tit. And. i. 1. (That satiate yet unsatisfied desire, That tub both fill'd and running) ravening first Happy! but most miserable Is the desire that's glorious. Blessed be those, DESOLATION. I, an old turtle, Will wing me to some wither'd bough; and there Lament till I am lost. Then was I as a tree Cym. i. 7. Cym. i. 7. W. T. v. 3. Whose boughs did bend with fruit; but in one night, Shipwreck'd upon a kingdom, where no pity, Alack, and what shall good old York there see, And what cheer there for welcome but my groans? There's nothing in this world can make me joy; Cym. iii. 3. H. VIII. iii. 1. R. II. i. 2. K. J. iii. 4. DESPAIR,-continued. Now let not Nature's hand Keep the wild flood confin'd! Let order die! O sovereign mistress of true melancholy, R. II. ii. 2. H. IV. PT. II. i. 1. The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me; May hang no longer on me; throw my heart Against the flint and hardness of my fault; Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder. I pull in resolution; and begin To doubt the equivocation of the fiend, That lies like truth. O, I am fortune's fool! I shall despair.There is no creature loves me ; Nay, wherefore should they? since that I myself For now I stand as one upon a rock, Who marks the waxing tide grow wave by wave, They have tied me to the stake, I cannot fly, Take the hint Which my despair proclaims; let that be left I 'gin to be a-weary of the sun, And wish the estate of the world were now undone. Fan you into despair. A. C. iv. 9. M. v. 5. R. J. iii. 1. R. III. v. 3. Tit. And. iii. 1. M. v. 7. A. C. iii. 9. M. v. 5. C. iii. 3. Your enemies, with nodding of their plumes, My very hairs do mutiny; for the white Reprove the brown for rashness; and they them A. C. iii. 9. DESPATCH. If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well M. i. 7. Come, to the forge with it then; shape it; I would not have things cool. M. W. iv. 2. DESPATCH,-continued. It makes us, or it mars us; think on that, Briefness, and fortune, work. We must do something, and i' the heat. Some say he's mad; others, that lesser hate him, He cannot buckle his distemper'd cause Within the belt of rule. Fortune knows, O. v. 1. K. L. ii. 1. K. L. i. 1. M. v. 2. We scorn her most when most she offers blows. A. C. iii. 9. Whip me, ye devils, From the possession of this heavenly sight! Blow me about in winds! roast me in sulphur! Our enemies have beat us to the pit : 0. v. 2. It is more worthy to leap in ourselves, J. C. v. 5. Yet I will try the last: Before my body I throw my warlike shield; lay on, Macduff; And damn'd be he that first cries" Hold! Enough!" M. v. 7. Ring the alarum bell: Blow wind, come wrack! M. v. 5. The time and my intents are savage wild ; Now could I drink hot blood, And do such business as the bitter day Would quake to look on. No, I defy all counsel, all redress, But that which ends all counsel, true redress, R. J. v. 3. H. iii. 2. Death, death. O all you host of heaven! O earth!-what else? K. J. iii. 4. And shall I couple hell?—O fie!-Hold, hold, my heart; And you, my sinews, grow not instant old, But bear me stiffly up. Ah, women, women! come; we have no friend But resolution and the briefest end. DESPONDENCY (See also DERANGEMENT, MADNESS). I am not mad; I would to heaven I were! H. i. 5. A. C. iv. 13. K. J. iii. 4. DESPONDENCY,-continued. My reasonable part produces reason I am sick of this false world; and will love nought Then, Timon, presently prepare thy grave; Lie, where the light foam of the sea may beat How stiff is my vile sense, That I stand up and have ingenious feeling Of my huge sorrows! better I were distract; So should my thoughts be sever'd from my griefs; The knowledge of themselves. O, that this too too solid flesh would melt, Or, that the everlasting had not fix'd His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God! Seem to me all the uses of this world! Fie on't! fie on't! 'tis an unweeded garden, That grows to seed; things rank, and gross in nature, Even here I will put off my hope, and keep it No longer for my flatterer. I have not that alacrity of spirit Nor cheer of mind that I was wont to have. Nothing I'll bear from thee But nakedness, thou détestable town! What say you now? what comfort have we now? All unavoided is the doom of destiny. Who gives any thing to poor Tom? K. J. iii. 4. T. A. iv. 3. K. L. iv. 6. H. i. 2. T. iii.3. R. III. v. 3. T. A. iv. 1. R. II. iii. 2. R. III. iv. 4. M. V. ii. 1. M. V. ii. 9. O. iii. 3. K. L. iii. 4. When nobles are their tailors' tutors. The man was noble, But with his last attempt he wip'd it out. K. L. iii. 2. 0. v. 3. DETERMINATION (See also RESOLUTION). How tender 'tis, to love the babe that milks me : I'll speak to it, though hell itself should gape, Cannot, is false; and that I dare not, falser; It was my will and grant; Then all too late comes counsel to be heard, My resolution, and my hands I'll trust; I am fire and air; my other elements DETRACTION.

Ay, an you had any eye behind you, you might see more detraction at your heels than fortunes before you. T. N. ii. 5. Happy are they that hear their detractions, and put them to mending. DEVICE. M. A. ii. 3. What a slave art thou to hack thy sword as thou hast done; and then say, it was in fight! H. IV. PT. I. ii. 4. DEVIL. Heaven prosper our sport! No one means evil but the devil, and we shall know him by his horns. M. W. v. 1. |
