x to lamb; as wolf to heifer's calf; Pard to the hind, or stepdame to her son. 665 SHAKS.: _Troil. and Cress.,_ Act iii., Sc. 2. =Fame.= Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Live register'd upon our brazen tombs. 666 SHAKS.: _Love's L. Lost,_ Act i., Sc. 1. Fame, if not double-faced, is double-mouthed, And with contrary blast proclaims most deeds: On both his wings, one black, the other white, Bears greatest names in his wild aery flight. 667 MILTON: _Samson Agonistes,_ Line 971. What's fame? a fancied life in others' breath, A thing beyond us, even before our death. 668 POPE: _Essay on Man,_ Epis. iv., Line 237. There was a morning when I longed for fame, There was a noontide when I passed it by. There is an evening when I think not shame Its substance and its being to deny. 669 JEAN INGELOW: _The Star's Monument,_ St. 81. Ah! who can tell how hard it is to climb The steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar? 670 BEATTIE: _Minstrel,_ Bk. i., St. 1. Or ravish'd with the whistling of a name, See Cromwell, damn'd to everlasting fame! 671 POPE: _Essay on Man,_ Epis. iv., Line 281. =Family.= Birds in their little nest agree; And 'tis a shameful sight When children of one family Fall out, and chide, and fight. 672 WATTS: _Divine Songs,_ Song xvii. =Famine.= Famine is in thy cheeks. 673 SHAKS.: _Rom. and Jul.,_ Act v., Sc. 1. =Fancy.= Tell me, where is fancy bred; Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply. It is engendered in the eyes, With gazing fed: and fancy dies In the cradle where it lies. 674 SHAKS.: _M. of Venice,_ Act iii., Sc. 2. _Song._ She's all my fancy painted her; She's lovely, she's divine. 675 WILLIAM MEE: _Alice Gray._ =Farewell.= Farewell! Farewell! Through keen delights It strikes two hearts, this word of woe. Through every joy of life it smites,-- Why, sometime they will know. 676 MARY CLEMMER: _Farewell._ Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been: A sound which makes us linger;--yet--farewell! 677 BYRON: _Ch. Harold,_ Canto iv., St. 186. =Fashion.= The fashion wears out more apparel than the man. 678 SHAKS.: _Much Ado,_ Act iii., Sc. 3. =Fate.= What fates impose, that men must needs abide; It boots not to resist both wind and tide. 679 SHAKS.: _3 Henry VI.,_ Act iv., Sc. 3. All human things are subject to decay, And when fate summons, monarchs must obey
