DOOM.

Away! By Jupiter,

This shall not be revok'd.

DOTARD.

K. L. i. 1.

The brains of my Cupid's knock'd out; and I begin to love, as an old man loves money, with no stomach.

DOVER CLIFFS.

How fearful

And dizzy 'tis to cast one's eyes below!

The crows, and choughs, that wing the midway air,
Show scarce so gross as beetles: Half way down
Hangs one that gathers samphire; dreadful trade!
Methinks he seems no bigger than his head :
The fishermen, that walk upon the beach,
Appear like mice; and yon tall anchoring bark,
Diminish'd to her cock; her cock, a buoy,
Almost too small for sight: The murm'ring surge,
That on the unnumber'd idle pebbles chafes,
Cannot be heard so high: I'll look no more;
Lest my brain turn, and the deficient sight
Topple down headlong.

DRAMAS.

A. W. iii. 2.

K. L. iv. 6.

The best of this kind are but shadows; and the worst are no worse, if imagination amend them.

DREAMS.

I talk of dreams;

Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy;
Which is as thin of substance as the air;

And more inconstant than the wind, which wooes
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,

M. N. v. 1.

And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,

Turning his face to the dew-dropping south.

R. J. i. 4.

I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream ;-past the wit of man to say what dream it was. Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream.

'Tis still a dream; or else such stuff as madmen

Tongue and brain out; either both, or nothing:
Or senseless speaking, or a speaking such

As sense cannot untie. Be what it is,
The action of my life is like it, which
I'll keep, if but for sympathy.

By the apostle Paul, shadows to-night

Have struck more terror to the soul of Richard,
Than can the substance of ten thousand soldiers,
Armed in proof, led on by shallow Richmond.
Poor wretches, that depend
On greatness' favour, dream as I have done,
Awake, and find nothing.

M. N. iv. 1.

DREAMS,-continued.

This is the rarest dream that e'er dull sleep
Did mock sad fools withal.

In thy faint slumbers, I by thee have watch'd,
And heard thee murmur tales of iron wars:
Speak terms of manage to thy bounding steed;
Cry, Courage!-to the field! And thou hast talk'd
Of sallies, and retires; of trenches, tents,
Of palisadoes, frontiers, parapets;
Of basilisks, of cannon, culverin;
Of prisoners' ransom, and of soldiers slain,
And all the currents of a heady fight.

Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war,
And thus hath so bestirr'd thee in thy sleep,
That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow,
Like bubbles on a late disturbed stream:
And in thy face strange motions have appear'd,
Such as we see when men restrain their breath
On some great sudden haste.

There is some ill a-brewing toward my rest,
For I did dream of money bags to-night.
Let not our babbling dreams affright our souls.
There are a kind of men so loose of soul,
That in their sleeps will mutter their affairs.
DRESS (See also ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN).
For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich;

H. IV. PT. I. ii. 3.

H. IV. PT. 1. ii. 3.

And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds,
So honour peereth in the meanest habit.
What, is the jay more precious than the lark,
Because his feathers are more beautiful?
Or is the adder better than the eel,

Because his painted skin contents the eye?

And now, my honey love,

We will return unto thy father's house;

And revel it as bravely as the best ;

With silken coats, and caps, and golden rings,
With ruffs, and cuffs, and farthingales, and things:
With scarfs, and fans, and double change of bravery,
And amber bracelets, beads, and all this knavery.

The tailor stays thy leisure,
To deck thy body with his rustling treasure.
My dukedom to a beggarly denier,
I do mistake my person all this while :
Upon my life, she finds, although I cannot,
Myself to be a marvellous proper man.
I'll be at charges for a looking-glass;
And entertain a score or two of tailors,
To study fashions to adorn my body.
Since I am crept in favour with myself,
1 will maintain it with some little cost.

DRESS,-continued.

The gown? why, ay;-Come, tailor, let us see't.
O mercy, God! what masking stuff is here?
What's this? a sleeve? 'tis like a demi-cannon:
What! up and down, carv'd like an apple-tart?
Here's snip,
and nip, and cut, and slish, and slash,
Like to a censer in a barber's shop:

Why, what, o' devil's name, tailor, call'st thou this! T. S. iv. 3.

Cloten. Thou villain base,

Know'st thou not me by my cloaths?

Guiderius.-No, nor thy tailor, rascal,

Who is thy grandfather: he made those cloaths,
Which, as it seems, make thee.

Cym. iv. 2.

I will never trust a man again for keeping his sword clean; nor believe he can have every thing in him for keeping his apparel neatly. DROWNING.

Lord! methought what pain it was to drown!
What dreadful noise of water in my ears!
What sights of ugly death within mine eyes!
Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks;
A thousand men that fishes gnaw'd upon.

A. W. iv. 3.

DRUMS.

Strike up the drums: and let the tongue of war
Plead for our interest.

Do but stir

An echo with the clamour of thy drum,
And even at hand a drum is ready brac'd,
That shall reverberate all as loud as thine;
Sound but another, and another shall,
As loud as thine, rattle the welkin's ear,
And mock the deep mouth'd thunder.

DRUNKARD (See WINE).

A howling monster: a drunken monster.

T. iii. 2.

O that men should put an enemy into their mouths, to steal away their brains!—that we should, with joy, revel, pleasure, and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!

O monstrous beast!-how like a swine he lies!

DRUNKARD,-continued.

;

When he is best, he is little worse than a man ; and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast. M. W. i. 2. Every inordinate cup is unblessed, and the ingredient is a devil. 0. ii. 3.

Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman; one draught above heat makes him a fool; the second mads him; and a third drowns him.

You see this fellow that is gone before ;

He is a soldier fit to stand by Cæsar

And give direction: and do but see his vice;
'Tis to his virtue a just equinox,

The one as long as th' other.

T. N. i. 4.

0. ii. 3.

I will ask him for my place again; he shall tell me, I am a drunkard! Had I as many mouths as Hydra, such an answer would stop them all. To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast!

One drunkard loves another of the name.

He'll be as full of quarrel and offence
As my young mistress' dog.

I will, like a true drunkard, utter all to thee.

And now, in madness,

Being full of supper, and distempering draughts,
Upon malicious bravery dost thou come,

To start my quiet.

Do not think, gentlemen, I am drunk ;-this is my antient this is my right hand, and this my left hand :—I am not drunk I can stand well enough; and speak well enough: Why, very well then; you must not think then that I am drunk.

PIOUS.

0. ii. 3.

I'll ne'er be drunk whilst I live again, but in honest, civil, godly company, for this trick: if I be drunk, I'll be drunk with those that have the fear of God, and not with drunken knaves. M. W. i. 1. DUELLIST.

Room for the incensed worthies.

L. L. v. 2.

God send cup, draws R. J. iii. 1.

Thou art one of those fellows, that, when he enters the confines
of a tavern, claps me his sword upon the table, and says,
me no need of thee! and, by the operation of the second
it on the drawer, when, indeed, there is no need.
If wrongs be evils, and enforce us kill,
What folly 'tis to hazard life for ill.

Your words have took such pains, as if they labour'd
To bring manslaughter into form, set quarrelling

T. A. iii. 5.

DUELLIST,-continued.

Upon the head of valour; which, indeed,
Is valour misbegot, and came into the world
When sects and factions were but newly born.

T. A. iii. 5.

He is a devil in a private brawl: souls and bodies hath he divorced three; and his incensement at this moment is so implacable, that satisfaction can be none but by pangs of death and sepulchre hob, nob, is his word; give't, or take't. T. N. iii. 4.

DUEL PREVented.

Boys of art, I have deceived you both; I have directed you to wrong places your hearts are mighty, and your skins are whole, and let burnt sack be the issue. M. W. iii. 1.

DULNESS.

Cudgel your brains no more about it; for your dull ass will never mend his pace with beating.

DUNS.

They answer, in a joint and corporate voice,
That now they are at fall, want treasure, cannot

Do what they would; are sorry-you are honourable,—
But yet they could have wish'd-they knew not-but
Something hath been amiss-a noble nature

May catch a wrench-would all were well-'tis pity—
And so, intending other serious matters,

H. v. 1.

After distasteful looks, and these hard fractions,

With certain half caps, and cold moving nods,
They froze me into silence.

T. A. ii. 2.

DUPE.

Whose nature is so far from doing harms,

That he suspects none; on whose foolish honesty
My practices ride easy.

K. L. i. 2.

EAGERNESS.

E.

My desire,

More sharp than filed steel, did spur me forth. EARTHQUAKES.

Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth

In strange eruptions: and the teeming earth
Is with a kind of cholic pinch'd and vex'd

By the imprisoning of unruly wind

Within her womb; which, for enlargement striving,
Shakes the old beldame earth, and topples down
Steeples and moss-grown towers.

ECHO.

Let us sit,

T. N. iii. 3.

H. IV. PT. I. iii. 1.

And, whilst the babbling echo mocks the hounds,
Replying shrilly to the well-tun'd horns,
As if a double hunt were heard at once.
