Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
(Auto-generated)
- To pay five ducats, five, I would not farm it;
Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole
A ranker rate, should it be sold in fee.†p. 201.6 *yield = give in, give way, or give up - She speaks much of her father; says she hears There's tricks i' the world, and hems, and beats her heart; Spurns enviously at straws; speaks things in doubt, That carry but half sense: her speech is nothing, Yet the unshaped use of it doth move The hearers to collection; they aim at it, And botch the words up fit to their own thoughts; Which, as her winks, and nods, and gestures yield them, Indeed would make one think there might be thought, Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily.
p. 205.6 *yield = give
- And therefore must his choice be circumscribed
Unto the voice and yielding of that body
Whereof he is the head.†p. 41.4
