[112:1] "Gilbert White in his 'Naturalists' Calendar' as the result of observations taken from 1768 to 1793 puts down the flowering of the Hawthorn as occurring in different years upon dates so widely apart as the twentieth of April and the eleventh of June."--MILNER'S _Country Pleasures_, p. 83. HAZEL. (1) _Mercutio._ Her [Queen Mab's] chariot is an empty Hazel-nut Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub, Time out o' mind the fairies' coachmakers. _Romeo and Juliet_, act i, sc. 4 (67). (2) _Petruchio._ Kate like the Hazel twig Is straight and slender and as brown in hue As Hazel-nuts and sweeter than the kernels. _Taming of the Shrew_, act ii, sc. 1 (255). (3) _Caliban._ I'll bring thee to clustering Filberts. _Tempest_, act ii, sc. 2 (174). (4) _Touchstone._ Sweetest Nut hath sourest rind, Such a Nut is Rosalind. _As You Like It_, act iii, sc. 2 (115). (5) _Celia._ For his verity in love I do think him as concave as a covered goblet or a worm-eaten Nut. _Ibid._, act iii, sc. 4 (25). (6) _Lafeu._ Believe this of me, there can be no kernel in this light Nut. _All's Well that Ends Well_, act ii, sc. 5 (46). (7) _Mercutio._ Thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking Nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast Hazel eyes. _Romeo and Juliet_, act iii, sc. 1 (20). (8) _Thersites._ Hector shall have a great catch, if he knock out either of your brains; a' were as good crack a fusty Nut with no kernel. _Troilus and Cressida_, act ii, sc. 1 (109). (9) _Gonzalo._ I'll warrant him for drowning; though the ship were no stronger than a Nut-shell. _Tempest_, act i, sc. 1 (49). (10) _Titania._ I have a venturous fairy that shall seek The squirrel's hoard, and fetch thee new Nuts. _Midsummer Night's Dream_, act iv, sc. 1 (40). (11) _Hamlet._ O God, I could be bounded in a Nut-shell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.
