“The Humorous Lieutenant”
Act i. sc. 1. Second Ambassador’s speech:—
... “When your angers,
Like so many brother billows, rose together,
And, curling up your foaming crests, defied,” &c.

Act ii. sc. 1. Timon’s speech:—
“Another of a new way will be look’d at.”
“We must suspect the poets wrote, ‘of a new day.’ So immediately after,
... Time may
For all his wisdom, yet give us a day.”

Ib. sc. 3. Speech of Leucippe:—
“I’ll put her into action for a wastcoat.”
What we call a riding-habit,—some mannish dress.
