I have seen tempests, when the scolding winds
Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen
The ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam,
To be exalted with the threat'ning clouds.

Seas
Rough with black winds, and storms
Unwonted.

Lightnings, that show the vast and foamy deep,
The rending thunders, as they onward roll,
The loud, loud winds, that o'er the billows sweep—
Shake the firm nerve, appal the bravest soul!

For a bright manhood, there is no such word

Tickled with good success, disdains the shadow
Which he treads on at noon.
Coriolanus, Act i. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft,
I shot his fellow of the self-same flight
The self-same way, with more advised watch.
To find the other forth; and by adventuring both,
I oft found both.
Merchant of Venice, Act i. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
