Act I. scene v. Content and Ang|er In me have but one face.--Act III. scene i. Force and great Feat Must put my garland on, where she will stick The queen of flowers.--Act V. scene i. [Sidenote: Instances of Shakspere's Personification in _The Two Noble Kinsmen_.] Thou (_Love_) mayst force the king To be his subject's vassal, and _induce Stale Gravity to dance_;--the pollèd bachelor, _Whose youth_, (like wanton boys through bon|fires,) [26:1]_Has skipt thy flame_, at seventy thou canst catch, And make him, to the scorn of his hoarse throat, Abuse young lays of love.--Act V. scene ii. Mercy and manly Cour|age Are bed fellows in his visage.--Act V. scene v. _Our Reasons are not proph|ets, When oft our Fancies are._--Act V. scene v. The hints which you have now perused, are not, I repeat, offered to you as by any means exhausting the elements of Shakspeare's manner of writing. They are meant only to bring to your memory such of his qualities of style as chiefly distinguish him from Fletcher, and are most prominently present in the play we are examining. [Sidenote: In bits of the _Two Noble Kinsmen_ several of Shakspere's distinctive qualities are often combin'd.] When we shall see those qualities instanced singly, they will afford a proof of Shakspeare's authorship: but that proof will receive an incalculable accession of strength when, as will more frequently happen, we shall have several of them displayed at once in the same passages. Your recollection of them will serve us as the lines of a map would in a journey on foot through a wild forest country: the beauty of the landscape will tempt us not seldom to diverge and lose sight of our path, and we shall need their guidance for enabling us to regain it. * * * * * [Sidenote: The story of _Palamon and Arcite_.]
