We must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

SHAKS.: _Jul. Cæsar,_ Act iv., Sc. 3.


=Curses.=

Let this pernicious hour
Stand aye accursed in the calendar.

SHAKS.: _Macbeth,_ Act iv., Sc. 1.

But in their stead
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honor, breath,
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not.

SHAKS.: _Macbeth,_ Act v., Sc. 3.

It was that fatal and perfidious bark,
Built in th' eclipse, and rigg'd with curses dark.
