1532. Love is wise in folly, foolish-witty. (Ven. Ad. 1. 838.) O hard-believing love . . Despair and hope make thee ridiculous. (Ib. 1. 988; M. Ado, ii. 3, 7–21.) 1588. Whom thou would'st observe, blow off thy cap. (Tim. Ath. iv. 3.) 1537. Have honey in thy mouth. Thy sugared tongue. (Lucrece, 1. 893.) 1561. Love delights in youth. (2 Hen. IV. ii. 4, 272-277.) 1573. Il n'est pas si fol qu'il en porte l'habit. He with the Romans was esteemed so, As silly-jeering idiots are with kings, For sportive words, and uttering foolish things; But now he throws that shallow habit by, Wherein deep policy did him disguise. (Lucrece, 1. 1807–1820.) Temptations have since then been born to us. (W. T. i. 2.) APPENDIX L. A COMPARATIVE TABLE SHOWING APPROXIMATELY THE NUMBER OF PROMES ENTRIES ALLUDED TO IN THE PLAYS.1 These lists do not include the extra quotations in Appendix K, nor repetitions of expressions or ides when these occur very close together. Much difficulty has been found in classifying the entries, which often seem to have been used in several different ways-similes drawn from proverbs, turns of expression free classical quotations, &c. The second and third columns include only sentences in English. A far larer number of similes, &c., will be found amongst the entries from Erasmus, which are reckoned amongst Lat quotations in column 5. In the early plays, the turns of expression are few, but often repeated. entries on folios 110 and 111. The Comedy of Errors and 2 Henry VI. have no morning and evening salutations, nor any allusions to Hereabouts begin the improvements in 'continuances' noticed at No. 1379. In this and the following plays there is much more variety in the entries alluded to and far less repetition INDEX.
