re linked and tied hand in hand, because it is by their influence that human hearts are so firmly united to each other.--_Burton._ The king-becoming graces--devotion, patience, courage, fortitude.--_Shakespeare._ Know you not, master, to some kind of men their graces serve them but as enemies? No more do yours; your virtues, gentle master, are sanctified and holy traitors to you. Oh, what a world is this, when what is comely envenoms him that bears it!--_Shakespeare._ How inimitably graceful children are before they learn to dance!--_Coleridge._ That word, grace, in an ungracious mouth, is but profane.--_Shakespeare._ Grace comes as oft clad in the dusky robe of desolation as in white attire.--_Sir J.
