valor
in
Romeo and Juliet
(Auto-generated)
- O sweet Juliet,
Thy beauty hath made me effeminate
And in my temper softened valor's steel.†p. 123.4 - Thy noble shape is but a form of wax,
Digressing from the valor of a man;
Thy dear love sworn but hollow perjury,
Killing that love which thou hast vowed to cherish;
Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love,
Misshapen in the conduct of them both,
Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask,
Is set afire by thine own ignorance,
And thou dismembered with thine own defense.†p. 149.7 - And this shall free thee from this present shame,
If no inconstant toy nor womanish fear
Abate thy valor in the acting it.†p. 185.7 *
