CONSCIENCE (See also SUICIDE). I'll teach you how you shall arraign your conscience, Or hollowly put on. Go to your bosom ; M. M. ii. 3. Knock there; and ask your heart what it doth know. Who has a breast so pure, But some uncleanly apprehensions Keep leets and law-days, and in sessions sit M. M. ii. 2. What stronger breast-plate than a heart untainted? I feel within me A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience. O. iii. 3. H. VI. PT. II. iii. 2. H. VIII. iii. 2 You shall see, anon; 'tis a knavish piece of work ; but what of that? Your majesty, and we that have free souls, it touches us not: Let the gall'd jade wince, our withers are unwrung. Why, let the stricken deer go weep, The hart ungalled play; For some must watch, while some must sleep; Thus runs the world away. I'll observe his looks; I'll tent him to the quick; if he do blench, I know my course. H. iii. 2. H. iii. 2. H. ii. 2. I'll not meddle with it, it is a dangerous thing, it makes a man a coward; a man cannot steal, but it accuseth him; a man cannot swear, but it checks him; a man cannot lie with a neighbour's wife, but it detects him: 'Tis a blushing shame-fac'd spirit, that mutinies in a man's bosom; it fills one full of obstacles: it made me once restore a purse of gold, that by chance I found; it beggars any man that keeps it; it is turned out of all towns and cities for a dangerous thing. R. III. i. 4. GUILTY. My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, How is't with me when every noise appals me? R. III. v. 3. M. ii. 2. CONSCIENCE, GUILTY,-continued. How smart H.VI. PT. III. v. 6. A lash that speech doth give my conscience! Methought the billows spoke and told me of it; Soft; I did but dream, O, coward conscience, how dost thou affright me! H. iii. 1. H. iii. 4. T. ii. 2. R.

Canst thou not minister to a mind diseas'd; SEARED. If it were a kybe, 'Twould put me to my slipper; but I feel not Let not our babbling dreams affright our souls; CONSPIRACY. While you here do snoring lie His time doth take: If of life you keep a care, Shake off slumber, and beware: Awake! Awake! M. v. 3. T. ii. 1. R. III. v. 3. T. ii. 2. CONSTANCY, CONJUGAL,—continued. To beggarly divorcement,-love him dearly, Unkindness may do much ; He counsels a divorce: a loss of her, Sir, call to mind, O. iv. 2. H.VIII. ii. 2. That I have been your wife in this obedience, O bid me leap, rather than marry Paris, H.VIII. ii. ii. Where serpents are; chain me with roaring bears; O'er-cover'd quite with dead men's rattling bones, And hide me with a dead man in his shroud; Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble; And I will do it without fear or doubt, To live an unstain'd wife to my sweet love. CONSTERNATION. Behold, destruction, frenzy, and amazement, CONSULTATION. Now sit we close about the taper here, CONSUMMATION. When the hurly-burly's done, R. J. iv. 1. T. C. v. 3. J.C. iv. 3.. M. i. 1 CONSPIRACY,―continued. O conspiracy! Sham'st thou to show thy dangerous brow by night, To mask thy monstrous visage? Seek none, conspiracy, For if thou path thy native semblance on, POPULAR. : It is a purpos'd thing, and grows by plot, CONSTANCY (See also FIDELITY). The fineness of which metal is not found In fortune's love; for then, the bold and coward, Do to this body what extremes you can; J. C. ii. 1. C. iii. 1. T.C. i. 3. A. Y. ii. 3. T. C. iv. 2. Now from head to foot, I am marble constant; now the fleeting moon A. C. v. 2. But I am constant as the northern star, Of whose true fix'd, and vesting quality, CONJUGAL. Here I kneel. If e'er my wish did trespass 'gainst his love, Or that I do not yet, and ever did, J.C. iii. 1. CONTEMPLATION. Contemplation makes a rare turkey-cock of him; how he jets under his advanced plumes! CONTEMPTIBLE. T. N. ii. 5. Put on him what forgeries you please; marry, none so rank CONTENT (See also MODERATION). Is our best having. Our content Verily, I swear 'tis better to be lowly born, And range with humble livers in content, My crown is in my heart, not on my head; H. ii. 1. H.VIII. ii. 3. H.VIII. ii. 3.
