d full oft, A woman's nay doth stand for naught? _The Passionate Pilgrim, Line 14._ Thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise, And make it halt behind her. _The Tempest, A. 4. S. 1._ Good name in man and woman, Is the immediate jewel of their souls. _Othello, A. 3, S. 3._ Women are soft, pitiful, and flexible. _Henry VI., Pt. 3, A. 1. S. 4._ Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Even such a woman oweth to her husband; And, when she's froward, peevish, sullen, sour, And not obedient to his honest will, What is she, but a contending rebel, And graceless traitor to her loving lord? _Taming of the Shrew, A. 5, S. 2._ Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appetites they feed: but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies. _Antony and Cleopatra, A. 2, S. 2._ She's beautiful, and therefore to be wooed; She is a woman, therefore to be won. _Henry VI., Pt. 1, A. 5, S. 3._ Say, that she rail; why, then I'll tell her plain She sings as sweetly as a nightingale; Say, that she frown; I'll say, she looks as clear As morning roses newly wash'd with dew; Say, she be mute, and will not speak a word; Then I'll commend her volubility, And say she uttereth piercing eloquence. _Taming of the Shrew, A. 2, S. 1._ Flatter, and praise, commend, extol their graces; ... Say they have angels' faces. That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman. _Two Gentlemen of Verona, A. 3. S. 1._ Bethink thee on her virtues that Surmount, And natural graces that extinguish art; * * * * * And, which is more, she is not so divine, So full-replete with choice of all delights, But, with as humble lowliness of mind, She is content to be at your command. _Henry VI., Pt. 1, A. 5, S. 5._ Let still the woman take An elder than herself; so wears she to him, So sways she level in her husband's heart. For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner lost and worn. Than women's are. _Twelfth Night, A. 2, S. 4. '
