96 NATURAL HISTORY OF SHAKESPEARE. 
Old Lady. With your theme, I could 
O’ermount the lark. 
King Henry VIII., Act ii. Scene 3. 
Romeo . It was the lark, the herald of the morn, 
Juliet. It is, it is, hie hence, be gone, away ; 
It is the lark that sings so out of tune, 
Straining harsh discords, and unpleasing sharps. 
Some say the lark makes sweet division; 
This doth not so, for she divideth us : 
Romeo and Juliet, Act iii. Scene 5. 
Edgar. From the dread summit of this chalky 
bourn : 
Look up a-height;—the shrill-gorged lark so far 
Cannot be seen or heard : 
King Lear, Act iv. Scene 6. 
Hark! hark ! the lark at heaven’s gate sings, 
Cymbeline, Act ii. Scene 3. 
Lo ! here the gentle lark, weary of rest, 
From his moist cabinet mounts up on high, 
And wakes the morning, from whose silver breast 
The sun ariseth in his majesty ; 
Venus and Adonis. 
Like to the lark at break of day arising 
From sullen earth sings hymns at heaven’s gate; 
Sonnet XXIX. 
ROBIN. 
Speed. ... to relish a love-song, like a robin- 
redbreast ; 
Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act ii. Scene 1 .
