SHAME.
O shame, where is thy blush?
Hamlet, Act iii. Sc. 4. SHAKESPEARE.
Here shame dissuades him, there his fear prevails,
And each by turns his aching heart assails.
Metamorphoses: Actaeon, Bk. III.
OVID. Trans. of ADDISON.
All is confounded, all!
Reproach and everlasting shame
Sits mocking in our plumes.
King Henry V., Act iv. Sc. 5. SHAKESPEARE.
He was not born to shame:
Upon his brow shame was ashamed to sit.
Romeo and Juliet, Act iii. Sc. 2. SHAKESPEARE.
Himself sole author of his own disgrace.
Hope. W. COWPER.
Men the most infamous are fond of fame:
And those who fear not guilt, yet start at shame.
The Author. C. CHURCHILL.
Had it pleased Heaven
To try me with affliction; had he rained
All kinds of sores and shames on my bare head,
Steeped me in poverty to the very lips,
Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes,—
I should have found in some part of my soul
A drop of patience: but, alas, to make me
A fixed figure, for the time of scorn
To point his slow unmoving finger at!
Othello, Act iv. Sc. 2. SHAKESPEARE.
