EXAMPLES.

3. MIRTH. [See Shakspeare's Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet.]

"A fool, a fool I met a fool i' the forest.

A motley fool, a miserable varlet;

As I do live by food I met a fool,

Who laid him down and basked in the sun."

4. Joy. (Inexpressible madness.) [See Romeo and Juliet, and Othello.]

"Imoinda, oh! this separation

Has made you dearer, if it can be so,
Than you were ever to me! You appear
Like a kind star to my benighted steps,

To guide me on to happiness."

4. (Approaching transports.)

"Oh! Joy, thou welcome stranger, twice three years, I have not felt thy vital beam, but now

It warms my veins, and plays about my heart;

A fiery instinct lifts me from the ground,

And I could mount to the very stars with rapture."

5. LOVE. (Romeo and Juliet).

Rom. "With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out:

And what love can do, that dares love attempt,
Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me."

Jul. "If they do see thee, they will murder thee."

Rom. "Alack! there lies more peril in thine eye,

Than twenty of their swords; look thou but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity."

Seems, madam, nay it is; I know not seems.
'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
Nor customary suits of solemn black,

Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,
No, nor the fruitful river in the eye,

Together with all modes, forms, shows of grief,
That can denote me truly.

(Approaching distraction.)

Thou canst not speak of what thou dost not feel;
Wert thou as young as I, Juliet thy love,
An hour but married, Tybalt murdered,
Doating like me, and like me banished,
Then thou mightst tear thy hair,
And fall upon the ground as I do now.

(Manly.)

O now forever,

* *

Farewell the tranquil mind; farewell content,
Farewell the plumed troop and the big war,

That make ambition virtue! O farewell,
Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner, and all quality,

Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war !
Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone.

10.-HOPE.

If I may trust the flattery of sleep,

My dreams presage some joyful news at hand;
