Their hissing necks upon them from above, And mingle kisses-such as I would give them. Hatred of a rival in glory. He is my bane, I cannot bear him; One heaven and earth can never hold us both; ANGER, RAGE, FURY. Revenge. Rowe's Tamerlane. When hatred and displeasure rise high on a sudden from an apprehension of injury received, and perturbation of mind in consequence of it, it is called anger; and rising to a very high degree, and extinguishing humanity, becomes rage and fury. Anger, when violent, expresses itself with rapidity, noise, harshness, and sometimes with interruption and hesitation, as if unable to utter itself with sufficient force. It wrinkles the brows, enlarges and heaves the nostrils, strains the muscles, clinches the fist, stamps with the foot, and gives a violent agitation to the whole body. The voice assumes the highest tone it can adopt consistently with force and loudness, though sometimes to express anger with uncommon energy, the voice assumes a low and forcible tone. Narrative in suppressed Anger. My liege, I did deny no prisoners. And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held A pouncet-box which ever and anon, He gave I then all smarting with my wounds being cold, Out of my grief and my impatience Answer'd neglectingly, I know not what, He should, or he should not ;-for he made me mad, To see him shine so brisk, and smell so sweet, And talk so like a waiting gentlewoman, Of guns, and drums, and wounds, (heav'n save the mark!) And telling me the sovereign'st thing on earth, Was parmacity for an inward bruise; And I beseech you, let not his report, Betwixt my love and your high majesty. Shakespeare's Henry IV. First Part. Scorn and violent Anger, reproving. Tut! tut! Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle, Why have those banish'd and forbidden legs Dar'd once to touch a dust of England's ground? But more than why-Why have they dar'd to march Frighting her pale fac'd villages with war, And ostentation of despised arms? Com'st thou because the anointed king is hence? Why foolish boy, the king is left behind, REVENGE. Shakes. Rich. II. Revenge is a propensity and endeavour to injure the offender, which is attended with triumph and exultation when the injury is accomplished. It expresses itself like malice, but more openly, loudly, and triumphantly. Determined Revenge. I know not: if they speak but truth of her These hands shall tear her; if they wrong her honour, Time hath not yet so dry'd this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention, Nor fortune made such havock of my means, Eager Revenge. Ibid. Much Ado, &c. Oh, I could play the woman with mine eyes, Bring thou this fiend of Scotland, and myself; Heav'n forgive him too! Shakes. Macbeth. Unrestrained Fury. Alive! in triumph! and Mercutio slain! Away to heaven, respective lenity, And fire-ey'd fury be my conduct now !--- Romeo and Juliet. REPROACH. Reproach is settled anger or hatred chastising the object of dislike, by casting in his teeth the severest censures upon his imperfections or misconduct : the brow is contracted, the lip turned up with scorn, the head shaken, the voice low, as if abhorring, and the whole body expressive of aversion. 1 Reproaching with Stupidity and Inconstancy. Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels? You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! And do you now put on your best attire? Be gone; Run to your houses; fall upon your knees, Shakesp. Jul. Cas. Reproaching with want of Friendship, You have done that you should be sorry for. That they pass by me, as the idle wind, To you for gold to pay my legions, Which you deny'd me: Was that done like Cassius? When Marcus Brutus grows so covetous, To lock such rascal-counters from his friends, Reproaching with want of Manliness. 0 proper stuff! This is the very painting of your fears; Authoriz'd by her grandam. Shame itself! Ibid Ibid. Macbeth. Reproaching with want of Courage and Spirit. Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward, Thou little valiant, great in villany! |
