discourse
in
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
- a beast that wants discourse of reason,
Would have mourn'd longer,—married with mine uncle,
My father's brother; but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules: within a month;
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,

With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!†Scene 1.2
- That if you be honest and fair, your honesty should admit no
discourse to your beauty.†Scene 3.1 *
- Good my lord, put your discourse into some frame, and start
not so wildly from my affair.†Scene 3.2
- 'Tis as easy as lying: govern these ventages with your
finger and thumb, give it breath with your mouth, and it will
discourse most eloquent music.†Scene 3.2
- Alas, how is't with you,
That you do bend your eye on vacancy,
And with the incorporal air do hold discourse?†Scene 3.4
- Sure he that made us with such large discourse,
Looking before and after, gave us not
That capability and godlike reason
To fust in us unus'd.†Scene 4.4
