Seventh Passage

Hippolyta

   I was with Hercules and Cadmus once

  When in a woord of Crete they ayed the bear

  With hounds of Sparta. Never did I hear

  Such gallant chiding; for, besides the groves,

  The skies, the fountains, every region near

  Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard

  So musical a discord, such sweet thunder. (Shakespeare 277 IV.I 111-117)

Fifth Passage

Cade    Be brave, then for your captain is brave and vows

reformation. There shall be in England seven halfpenny

loaves sold for a penny, the three-hooped pot shall have

ten hoops, and I will make it felony to drink small beer.

All the realm shall be in common, and in Cheapside

shall my palfrey go to grass. And when I am king, as

king I will be -

All Cade's Followers  God save your Majesty!
Cade I thank you good people! - there shall be no

money. All shall eat and drink on my score, and I will

apparel them all in one livery that they may agree like

brothers, and worship me their lord.

Butcher  The first thing we do let's kill all the lawyers.
Cade Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this lamentable

thing that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be

made parchment? That parchment, being scribbled

o'er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings, but I

say 'tis the bee's wax. For I did but seal once to a thing,

and I was never mine own man since. How now?

Who's there?

    Enter some bringing forth the Clerk of Chatham [Sexson]
Weaver The Clerk of Chatham - he can write and read
   and cast account.
Cade    O, monstrous!
Weaver    We took him setting of boys' copies.
Cade    Here's a villain.
Weaver    He's a book in his pocket with red letters in't.
Cade    Nay, then he is a conjurer!
Butcher    Nay, he can make obligations and write court

   hand.  (Shakespeare  845, Act IV, Sc. 2, Vrs. 69-97)

Fourth Passage

Macbeth

If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well

It were done quickly. If th' assassination

Could trammel up the consequence, and catch

With his surcease success, that but this blow

Might be the be-all and the end-all--here,

But here upon this bank and shoal of time,

We'd jump the life to come. But in these cases

We still have judgment here, that we but teach

Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return

To plague th' inventor. This evenhanded justice

Commends th' ingredience of our poisoned chalice

To our own lips. He's here in double trust:

Fist, as I am his kinsman and his subject,

Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,

Who should against his murderer shut the door,

Not bear the knife myself. Besides this Duncan

Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been

So clear in his great office, that his virtues

Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued against

The deep damnation of his taking-off;

 And pity, like a naked newborn babe

Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubin horsed

upon the sightless couriers of the air,

Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye

That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur

To prick the sides of my intent, but only

Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself

and falls on th' other- (Shakespeare, 16http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=338798903063429468427-8, Act 1, Sc. 7, Vrs. 1-27)

Horses, Boars, Bears, Lions, Leopards- always, always represent a metamorphoses.

"according to my argument, this lineage of the Boar (taken together with the Storm, that comes with it, and the Flower in the hand of the babe that rides it) is the key to Shakespeare's ethical system." (Hughes 551)

Third Reading

King

O paradox! Black is the badge of hell,

    The hue of dungeons, and the school of night,

And beauty's crest becomes the heavens well.  (Shakespeare, 233-4, Act IV, Sc. 3, Vrs. 250-2)

.....

Berowne

But love, first learned in a lady's eyes,

Lives not alone immured in the brain,

But, with the motion of all elements,

Courses as swift as thought in every power,

And gives to every power a double power,

Above their functions and their offices.

It adds a precious seeing to the eye:

A lover's eye will gaze an eagle blind.

A lover's ear will hear the lowest sound,

When the suspicious head of theft is stopped. (Shakespeare, 233-4, Act IV, Sc. 3, Vrs. 301-313)

Second Reading

Cleopatra

His legs bestrid the ocean; his reared arm

Crested the world; his voice was propertied

As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends;

But when he meant to quail and shake the orb,

He was as rattling thunder. For his bounty,

There was no winter in't: an Antony it was

That grew the more by reaping. His delights

Were dolphinlike, they showed his back above

The lement they lived in. In his livery

Walked crowns and crownets; realms and islands were

As plates dropped from his pocket,

Dolabella                                        Cleopatra-

Cleopatra

You lie up to the hearing of the gods.

But if there be nor ever were one such,

It's past the size of dreaming. Nature wants stuff

To vie strange forms with fancy, yet t' imagine

An Antony were nature's piece 'gainst fancy,

Condemning shadows quite. (Shakespeare, 1696-7, Act V, Sc. 2, Vrs. 83-101)
