=Fawning.=
And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, Where thrift may follow fawning. 690 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act iii., Sc. 2. =Fear.= Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin's fee; And, for my soul, what can it do to that, Being a thing immortal as itself? 691 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act i., Sc. 4. Of all base passions fear is most accurs'd. 692 SHAKS.: _1 Henry VI.,_ Act v., Sc. 2. Desponding fear, of feeble fancies full, Weak and unmanly, loosens ev'ry power. 693 THOMSON: _Seasons, Spring,_ Line 286. The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip To hand the wretch in order; But where ye feel your honor grip, Let that aye be your border. |
