INSINUATIONS.
The shrug, the hum, or ha; these petty brands,
That calumny doth use;--

When you have said, she's goodly, come between,
Ere you can say she's honest.

As proofs of holy writ.

The meat it feeds on.

And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

As dreams are made of, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Than love that would seem bid: love's night is noon.

Sweet love, changing his property,
Turns to the sourest and most deadly hate.
King Richard II. -- III. 2.
When love begins to sicken and decay,
It useth an enforced ceremony.

never did run smooth.
