AUTHENTICITY. Five justices' hands to it, and authorities more than my pack will hold. AUTHOR (See also POET, RHYMSTER). Nay, do not wonder at it: you are made AUTHORITY (See also OFFICE). O place! O form! W.T. iv. 3. Cym. v. 3. How often dost thou with thy case, thy habit, Tis not the devil's crest. Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar, M. M. ii. 4. There, thou might'st behold the great image of authority: A dog's obeyed in office. Authority, though it err like others, Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself, That skins the vice o' the top. When Cæsar says, -Do this, it is perform'd. I shall remember: Authority bears a credent bulk, That no particular scandal once can touch But it confounds the breather. Who will believe thee, Isabel! My unsoil'd name, the austereness of my life, That you shall stifle in your own report, And smell of calumny. O, he sits high, in all the people's hearts; Well, I must be patient, there is no fettering K. L. iv. 6. M. M. ii. 2. J.C. i. 2. Μ. Μ. iv. 4. M. M. ii. 4. J.C. i. 3. of A. W. ii. 3.

Could great men thunder, AUTHORITY, continued. As Jove himself does, Jove would ne'er be quiet; For every pelting petty officer Would use his heaven for thunder; nothing but thunder. Merciful heaven! Thou rather, with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt, Split'st the unwedgeable and gnarled oak, Than the soft myrtle. O, but man! proud man! Dress'd in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd, As make the angels weep. M. M. ii. 2. AUTUMN. Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth BABBLER (See also TALKER). B. Fie, what a spendthrift he is of his tongue ! W.T. iv. 3. T. ii. 1. We go to use our hands, and not our tongues. R. III. i. 3. BACKING.

III. iii. 3. I love a ballad but even too well; if it be doleful matter merrily set down; or a very pleasant thing indeed, and sung lamentably. Traduc'd by odious ballads. W.T. iv. 3. A. W. ii. 1. BALLADS, continued. An I have not ballads made on you all, and sung to filthy tunes, let a cup of sack be my poison. H. IV. PT. II. ii. 2.

O master, if you did but hear the pedlar at the door, you would never dance again after a tabor and pipe; no, the bag-pipe could not move you: he sings several tunes, faster than you'll tell money; he utters them as he had eaten ballads, and all men's ears grow to their tunes. W. T. iv. 3. BANISHMENT. Banish'd, is banish'd from the world, R. J. iii. 3. And world's exile is death: then banish'd Banished? O friar, the damned use that word in hell; adieu; I've stoopt my neck under your injuries, Eating the bitter bread of banishment. R. J. iii. 3. R. II. iii. 1. Banish me? Banish your dotage; banish usury, That makes the senate ugly. T. A. iii. 5. BANTERING. With that, all laugh'd, and clapp'd him on the shoulder; Making the bold wag, by their praises, bolder: One rubb'd his elbow, thus; and fleer'd, and swore, A better speech was never heard before. L. L. v. 2. BANTERING. -continued. Close, in the name of jesting! GIRLS. The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen As is the razor's edge invisible, Cutting a smaller hair than may be seen; T. N. ii. 5. Seemeth their conference; their conceits have wings, Fleeter than arrows, bullets, wind, thought, swifter things. L. L. v. 2. BASENESS. Base and unlustrous as the smoky light That's fed with stinking tallow. Cym. i. 7. You shall mark That, doting on his own obsequious bondage, Many a duteous and knee-crooking knave, Wears out his time, much like his master's ass, For nought but provender, and, when he's old, cashier'd; Whip me such honest knaves. 0. i. 1. Some kinds of baseness Are nobly undergone; and most poor matters Point to rich ends. T. ii. 1. BASTARD. Bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard in valour; in every thing illegitimate. Why bastard? wherefore base? When my dimensions are as well compact, Ha! Fie, these filthy vices! It were as good T. C. v. 8. K. L. i. 2. To pardon him that hath from nature stolen A man already made, as to remit Their saucy sweetness, that do coin heaven's image In stamps that are forbid: 'tis all as easy Shall top the legitimate.

Because I will not do them the wrong to mistrust any, I BATCHELOR, continued. will do myself the right to trust none; and the fine is, for the which I may go the finer, I will live a batchelor. M. A. i. 1. M. A. i. 1. Shall I never see a batchelor of three score again? -'S RECANTATION. When I said I would die a batchelor, I did not think I should live till I were married. M. A. ii. 3. BATTLE (See also War). With boisterous untun'd drums, And harsh resounding trumpets' dreadful bray, R. II. i. 3. Being mounted, and both roused in their seats, And the loud trumpet blowing them together. H. IV. PT. II. iv. 1.
