respect
“in Rome—Many of the best,”
JULIUS CAESAR, i. 2. 59
;
“A lost phrase, no longer permissible even in poetry,
although our only modern equivalent is the utterly unpoetical ‘many persons of the
highest respectability.’ So, again, in the present play [v. 5. 45] we have ‘Thou art a fellow of a good respect’”
(CRAIK)
. In Johnson's Dict. the first of these passages is
cited under “>respect” in
the sense of “reverend character.”
