Surprise in Jealousy commencing.

Think, my lord !-O heav'n, he echoes me!
As if there were some monster in his thought

Too hideous to be shown-Thou dost mean something :
I heard thee say but now-Thou lik’dst not that,
When Cassio left my wife--What didst not like?
And when I told thee he was of my counsel

In my whole course of wooing, thou cry'dst, indeed!
And didst contract and purse thy brow together,
As if thou hadst shut up within thy brain,

Some horrible conceit: if thou dost love me,
Show me thy thought.

Suspicion and Jealousy commencing.

Leo. Too hot, too hot :

Shakesp. Othello.

To mingle friendship far, is mingling bloods.
I have a tremor cordis on me :-my heart dances;
But not for joy,-not joy.-This entertainment
May a free face put on; derive a liberty
From heartiness, from bounty, fertile bosom,
And well become the agent: it may, I grant;
But to be paddling palms, and pinching fingers,
As now they are; and making practis'd smiles,
As in a looking glass; and then to sigh as 'twere
The mort o' the deer; O that is entertainment
My bosom likes not, nor my brows ;—Mamilius,
Art thou my boy?
Ibid. Winter's Tale.

Go to, go to.

Jealousy increasing.

How she holds up the neb, the bill to him,
And arms her with the boldness of a wife,
To her allowing husband! Gone already;

Inch-thick, knee deep, o'er head and ears a fork'd one.-
Go, play, boy, play;-thy mother plays, and I

Play too, but so disgrac'd a part, whose issue,

Will hiss me to my grave; contempt and clamour
Will be my knell.-Go, play, boy, play-

There have been,

Or I am much deceiv'd, cuckolds ere now,
And many a man there is ev'n at this present,

Now while I speak this, holds his wife by the arm,
That little thinks she hath been false in his absence.
Shakespeare's Winter's Tale:

Attempt to hide Jealousy.

Her. Are you mov'd, my lord?
Leo. No, in good earnest.—

How sometimes nature will betray its folly,
Its tenderness; and and make itself a pastime
To harder bosoms! looking on the lines
Of my boy's face, methoughts, I did recoil
Twenty-three years; and saw myself unbreech'd,
In my green velvet coat; my dagger muzzled,
Lest it should bite its master, and so prove,
As ornament oft does, too dangerous.-

How like, methought, I then was to this kernel,

This squash, this gentleman :-Mine honest friend,
Will you take eggs for money?

Jealousy confirmed.

Dost think I am so muddy, so unsettled, To appoint myself in this vexation, sully The purity and whiteness of my sheets,

Ibidem:

Which, to preserve, is sleep; which, being spotted,
Is goads, thorns, nettles, tails of wasps ?
Give scandal to the blood o' th' prince my son,
Who, I do think is mine, and love as mine,
Without ripe moving to't? Would I do this?
Could man so blench?

Jealousy mixed with Grief.

How blest am I

In my just censure! in my true opinion!
Alack for lesser knowledge !-how accurs'd
In being so bless'd! There may be in the cup
A spider steep'd, and one may drink, depart,
And yet partake no venom, for his knowledge
Is not infected; but if one present

Ibidem.

The abhorr'd ingredient to his eye, make known
How he hath drunk, he cracks his
gorge, his sides,
With violent hefts.I have drunk, and seen the spider!

Ibidem.

Jealousy mixed with Rage and Regret.

This fellow 's of exceeding honesty,
And knows all qualities with a learned spirit
Of human dealings: if I do prove her haggard,
Though that her jesses were my dear heart strings,
I'd whistle her off and let her down the wind
To prey at fortune. Haply, for I am black,
And have not those soft parts of conversation,
That chamberers have ; or, for I am declin'd
Into the vale of years—yet that's not much
She's gone, I am abus'd, and my relief
Must be to loath her. Oh the curse of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures our's
And not their appetites !

MODESTY, SUBMISSION.

Shakes. Othello.

Modesty is a diffidence of ourselves, accompanied with a delicacy in our sense of whatever is mean, indecent, or dishonourable; or a fear of doing these things, or of having them inputed to us. Submis

sion is an humble sense of our inferiority, and a quiet surrender of our powers to a superiour. Modesty bends the body forward, has a placid, downcast countenance, levels the eyes to the breast, if not to the feet, of the superiour character: the voice is low, the tone submissive, and the words few. Submission adds to these a lower bending of the head, and a spreading of the arms and hands downwards towards the person we submit to.

Modesty on being appointed to a high Station.

Now, good my lord,

Let there be some more test made of my metal,

Before so noble, and so great a figure

Be stamp'd upon it.

Shakes. Meas. for Meas.

Submission on Forgiveness of Crime.

O noble sir!

Your over-kindness doth wring tears from me :

I do embrace your offer, and dispose

From henceforth of poor Claudio. Shakes. Much Ado, &c.

SHAME.

Shame, or a sense of appearing to a disadvantage before one's own fellow-creatures, turns away the face from the beholders, covers it with blushes, hangs the head, casts down the eyes, draws down and contracts the eye-brows. It either strikes the person dumb, or, if he attempts to say any thing in his own defence, causes his tongue to falter, confounds his utterance, and puts him upon making a thousand gestures and grimaces to keep himself in countenance; all which only heighten his confusion and embarrassment.

Shame at being convicted of a Crime.

Oh my dread lord

I should be guiltier than my guiltiness,
To think I can be undiscernible

When I perceive your grace, like power divine,
Hath look'd upon my passes; then, good prince,
No longer session hold upon my shame,

But let my trial be mine own confession :
Immediate sentence then, and sequent death
Is all the grace I beg.

GRAVITY.

Ibid. Meas. for Meas.

Gravity, or seriousness, as when the mind is fixed, or deliberating on some important subject, smooths the countenance, and gives it an air of melancholy; the eye-brows are lowered, the eyes cast downwards, the mouth almost shut, and sometimes a little contracted. The posture of the body and limbs is composed, and without much motion: the speech slow and solemn, the tone without much variety.

Grave Deliberation on War and Peace.

Fathers, we once again are met in council :
Cæsar's approach has summon'd us together,

And Rome attends her fate from our resolves
How shall we treat this bold aspiring man?
Success still follows him, and backs his crimes :
Pharsalia gave him Rome. Egypt has since
Receiv'd his yoke, and the whole Nile is Cæsar's.
Why should I mention Juba's overthrow,

Or Scipio's death? Numidia's burning sands
Still smoke with blood: 'Tis time we should decree
What course to take; our foe advances on us,
And envies us even Lybia's sultry deserts.

Fathers, pronounce your thoughts; are they still fix'd
To hold it out and fight it to the last?

Or are your hearts subdu'd at length, and wrought,
By time and ill success, to a submission ?
Sempronius, speak.

INQUIRY.

Addison's Cato.

Inquiry into some difficult subject, fixes the body nearly in one posture, the head somewhat stooping, the eyes poring, andthe eye-brows contracted.

Inquiry mixed with Suspicion.

Pray you, once more

Is not your father grown incapable

Of reas'nable affairs? is he not stupid

With age and altering rheums? Can he speak, hear,
Know man from man, dispute his own estate?

Lies he not bed-rid, and again does nothing

But what he did being childish?

Shakespeare's Winter's Tale.

ATTENTION.

Attention to an esteemed or superiour character has nearly the same aspect as Inquiry, and requires silence; the eyes often cast down upon the ground; sometimes fixed upon the face of the speaker, but not too familiarly.

TEACHING OR INSTRUCTING.

Teaching, explaining, or inculcating, requires a mild serene air, sometimes approaching to an authori
