PORTER Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes and unprovokes. It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance. Therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery. It makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him; makes him stand to and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.

LENNOX Those of his chamber, as it seemed, had done t. 80 Their hands and faces were all badged with blood. So were their daggers, which unwiped we found Upon their pillows.

MACBETH Who can be wise, amazed, temprate, and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man. Th expedition of my violent love 90 Outrun the pauser, reason. Here lay Duncan, His silver skin laced with his golden blood, And his gashed stabs looked like a breach in nature For ruins wasteful entrance; there, the murderers, Steeped in the colors of their trade, their daggers 95 Unmannerly breeched with gore. Who could refrain, That had a heart to love, and in that heart Courage to make s love known?
