“Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words can utter.”

“For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth,Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech,To stir men’s blood: I only speak right on;I tell you that which you yourselves do know;”

“His forward voice now is to speak well of his friend. His backward voice is to utter foul speeches and to detract.”

“Then others for breath of words respect,Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.”

“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.”

“Madam, you have bereft me of all words,Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,”

“I yet beseech your majesty,--If for I want that glib and oily art,To speak and purpose not; since what I well intend,I'll do't before I speak,--that you make knownIt is no vicious blot, murder, or foulness,No unchaste action, or dishonour'd step,That hath deprived me of your grace and favour;But even for want of that for which I am richer,A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongueAs I am glad I have not, though not to have itHath lost me in your liking.”
