1 HENRY VI., i. 5. 29
;
“the hearts of old gave hands; But our new heraldry is hands, not

OTHELLO, iii. 4. 43.

( “An Eagle argent in a field of blew
Rogero gave, Whilom the crest of Troy,”
Sir J. Harington's Orlando Furioso,
B. xxvi. st. 69.
“It spites him that Rogero dare aspire
To give his coat, being a berdlesse boy.”
Id. B. xxx. st. 17.
“Rose of the Queene of Loue belou'd;
Englands great kings, diuinely mou'd,
Gaue roses in their banner,”

“My hand shall neur giue my heart, my heart shall giue my hand.”
