MACBETH. Act. 1. Sc. VII.
I dare do all that may become a man ;
Who dares do more is none 36
MEASURE FOR MEASURE Act II Sc. II
Not the king's crown, nor the deputed sword,
The marshal's truncheon, nor the judge's robe,
Become them, with one half so good, a grace
As mercy does. 37
Sc. iv.
'T were as good
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; 5 t is all as easy
Falsely to take away a life true made,
As to put metal in restrained means.,
To make a false one. 38
Better it were, a brother died at once
Than that a sister, by redeeming him.
Should die for ever. 39
Ignomy in ransom, and free pardon,
Are of two houses : lawful mercy
Is nothing akin to foul redemption. 40
