(Merchant of Venice IV.i) They are sick? they are weary? They have travelld all the night? (King Lear II.iv) Dost thou come here to whine? (Hamlet V.i) Pray, be not sick, For you must be our housewife. (Cymbeline IV.ii) I pray you now, remembrance tomorrow on the lousy knave, mine host. (Merry Wives of Windsor III.iii) I can no other answer make but thanks, And thanks; and ever thanks (12th Night III.iii) Ill once more feast the rascals. (Timon of Athens III.iv) Gods body! the turkeys in my pannier are quite starved. (Henry IV, part 1 II.i) What, standest thou still, and hearest such a calling? Look to the guests within (Henry IV, part 1 II.iv) How now, daughter and cousin! Are you crept hither to see the wrestling? (As You Like It I.ii) We therefore have great cause of thankfulness (Henry V II.ii) Well feast each other ere we part; and lets Draw lots who shall begin. (Antony & Cleopatra II.vi)
