All's Well That Ends Well
[IV, 3]

Second Lord

2194

I have told your lordship already, the stocks carry
him. But to answer you as you would be understood;
he weeps like a wench that had shed her milk: he
hath confessed himself to Morgan, whom he supposes
to be a friar, from the time of his remembrance to
this very instant disaster of his setting i' the
stocks: and what think you he hath confessed?

He hath confessed: away with him! he's a villain
and a traitor.

Come, sir: did you set these women on to slander
Lord Angelo? they have confessed you did.

Robert Shallow

96

If it be confessed, it is not redress'd: is not that

hath, at a word, he hath, believe me: Robert
Shallow, esquire, saith, he is wronged.

Winter's Tale
[V, 2]

Third Gentleman

One of the prettiest touches of all and that which
angled for mine eyes, caught the water though not
the fish, was when, at the relation of the queen's
death, with the manner how she came to't bravely
confessed and lamented by the king, how
attentiveness wounded his daughter; till, from one
sign of dolour to another, she did, with an 'Alas,'
I would fain say, bleed tears, for I am sure my
heart wept blood. Who was most marble there changed
colour; some swooned, all sorrowed: if all the world
could have seen 't, the woe had been universal.
