DISTRACTION. Contending with the fretful elements; Bids the winds blow the earth into the sea, That things might change or cease: tears his white hair; DISTRESS. The thorny point Of bare distress hath ta'en from me the show DISTURBERS. Who rather had, Though they themselves did suffer by't, behold DISUNION. When that the general is not like the hive, How, in one house, Should many people, under two commands, DOOM. Away! By Jupiter, This shall not be revok'd. DOTARD. K.L. iii. 1. A. Y. ii. 7. C. v. 6.

The best of this kind are but shadows; and the worst are no worse, if imagination amend them. DREAMS. I talk of dreams; Which are the children of an idle brain, M. N. v. 1. Begot of nothing but vain fantasy; Which is as thin of substance as the air; And more inconstant than the wind, which wooes And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence, R. J. i. 4. I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream; past the wit of man to say what dream it was. Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream. M. N. iv. 1.

With silken coats, and caps, and golden rings, To deck thy body with his rustling treasure. T. S. iv. 3. R. III. i. 2. The gown? why, ay ;-Come, tailor, let us see't. Why, what, o' devil's name, tailor, call'st thou this? T. S. iv. 3. DRESS,-continued. Cloten.-Thou villain base, Know'st thou not me by my cloaths? Guiderius.-No, nor thy tailor, rascal, Who is thy grandfather: he made those cloaths, Cym. iv. 2. I will never trust a man again for keeping his sword clean; nor believe he can have every thing in him for keeping his apparel neatly. DROWNING. Lord! methought what pain it was to drown! Often did I strive To yield the ghost; but still the envious flood A pox of drowning thyself! it is clean out DRUMS. Strike up the drums: and let the tongue of war Do but stir An echo with the clamour of thy drum, He's a good drum, my lord, but a naughty A. W. iv. 3. R. III. i. 4. R. III. i. 4. of the way. O. i. 3.

I will ask him for my place again; he shall tell me, I am a drunkard! Had I as many mouths as Hydra, such an answer would stop them all. To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast. One drunkard loves another of the name. He'll be as full of quarrel and offence As my young mistress' dog. O. ii. 3. L. L. iv. 3. O. ii. 3. I will, like a true drunkard, utter all to thee. And now, in madness, M. A. iii. 3. Being full of supper, and distempering draughts, To start my quiet.

Do not think, gentlemen, I am drunk;-this is my antient; this is my right hand, and this my left hand :-I am not drunk:-I can stand well enough; and speak well enough: Why, very well then; you must not think then that I am drunk. O. ii. 3. PIOUS.
