(1564–1616) (continued)   460     The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept.           Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 2. 461     O, it is excellent To have a giant’s strength; but it is tyrannous To use it like a giant.           Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 2. 462     But man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he ’s most assured, His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep.           Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 2. 463     That in the captain ’s but a choleric word Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy.           Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 2. 464     Our compell’d sins Stand more for number than for accompt.           Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 4. 465     The miserable have no other medicine, But only hope.           Measure for Measure. Act iii. Sc. 1. 466     A breath thou art, Servile to all the skyey influences.           Measure for Measure. Act iii. Sc. 1. 467     Palsied eld.           Measure for Measure. Act iii. Sc. 1. 468     The sense of death is most in apprehension; And the poor beetle, that we tread upon, In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great As when a giant dies.           Measure for Measure. Act iii. Sc. 1. 469     The cunning livery of hell.           Measure for Measure. Act iii. Sc. 1. 470     Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstruction and to rot; This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice; To be imprison’d in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendent world.           Measure for Measure.
