Have you not love enough to bear with me, when that rash humor which my mother gave me makes me forgetful.
No metal can--no, not the hangman's axe--bear half the keenness of thy sharp envy.
If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.
You cannot make gross sins look clear: To revenge is no valour, but to bear.
Bear with my weakness. My old brain is troubled. Be not disturbed with my infirmity.
How strange or odd some'er I bear myself, As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an antic disposition on.
Such is my love, to thee I so belong, That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
A friend should bear his friend's infirmities.
I bear a charmed life.
In time the savage bull doth bear the yoke.
So get the start of the majestic world And bear the palm alone.
I bear a charmed life, which must not yield To one of woman born.
More can I bear than you dare execute.
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger; Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
