Novelty is only in request; and it is dangerous to be aged in any kind of course, as it is virtuous to be constant in any undertaking.

Every one that flatters thee, T. A. iii. 2. Poems. Is no friend in misery. He does me double wrong, That wounds me with the flatteries of his tongue. R. II. iii. 2. FLATTERY,-continued. O villains, vipers, damn'd without redemption! Ah! when the means are gone that buy this praise, Why, what a candy deal of courtesy Flattery's the bellows blows up sin. Because I cannot flatter, and speak fair, Why these looks of care? Thy flatterers yet wear silk, drink wine, lie soft; I must prevent thee, Cimber. R. II. iii. 2. T. A. ii. 2. T. A. i. 1. H. IV. PT. I. i. 3. J. C. ii, 1. P. P. i. 2. R. III. i. 3. T. A. iv. 3. To think that Cæsar bears such rebel blood, That will be thaw'd from the true quality, With that which melteth fools; I mean, sweet words, For the love of grace, J. C. iii. 1.

H. iii. 2. C. E. iii. 2. K. J. i. 1. FLATTERY,―continued. I follow him to serve my turn upon him : FOOL. T. C. iii. 3. 0. i. 1. Why, thou silly gentleman! 0. i. 3.

I dare not call them fools; but this I think, This fellow's wise enough to play the fool; L. L. v. 2. But wise men, folly-fallen, quite taint their wit. T. N. iii. 1. A fool, a fool!I met a fool i' the forest, As I do live by food, I met a fool; Who laid him down, and bask'd him in the sun, In good set terms,—and yet a motley fool. I am sprighted with a fool. FOOLERY. A. Y. ii. 7. Cym. ii. 3. Foolery, Sir, does walk about the orb, like the sun; it shines every where. Observe him for the love of mockery. What folly I commit, I dedicate to you. FOOLING.

Yet, again, methinks, Some unborn sorrow, ripe in fortune's womb, A heavy summons lies like lead upon me. Methinks I see thee now thou art below, And threaten present blusters.
