William Shakespeare. (1564-1616)

Titus Andronicus.

Sweet mercy is nobility’s true badge.

Titus Andronicus. Act i. Sc. 2.

She is a woman, therefore may be woo’d;
She is a woman, therefore may be won;
She is Lavinia, therefore must be loved.
What, man! more water glideth by the mill
Than wots the miller of; 1 and easy it is
Of a cut loaf to steal a shive.

Titus Andronicus. Act ii. Sc. 1.

The eagle suffers little birds to sing.

Titus Andronicus. Act iv. Sc. 4.

Note 1.
