SHAKESPEARE’S GARDEN 
Pro. If thou more murmur’st, I will rend an oak 
And peg thee in his knotty entrails till 
Thou hast howl’d away twelve winters. 
I. ii. 294. 
Gon. How lush and lusty the grass looks ! how green ! 
Ant. The ground indeed is tawny. 
Seb. With an eye of green in’t. 
II. i. 52. 
Seb. I think he will carry this island home in his pocket, 
and give it his son for an apple. 
Ant. And, sowing the kernels of it in the sea, bring forth 
more islands. 
II. i. 90. 
Gon. Had I plantation of this isle, my lord— 
Ant. He’ld sow’t with nettle-seed. 
Seb. Or docks, or mallows. 
Gon. And were the king on’t, what would I do? 
Seb. ’Scape being drunk, for want of wine. 
Gon. I’ the commonwealth I would by contraries 
Execute all things ; for no kind of traffic 
Would I admit; no name of magistrate ; 
Letters should not be known ; riches, poverty, 
And use of service, none ; contract, succession, 
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none; 
No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil; 
No occupation. 
II. i. 144. 
Cal. I pr’ithee, let me bring thee where crabs grow ; 
And I with my long nails will dig thee pig-nuts ; 
Show thee a jay’s-nest, and instruct thee how 
To snare the nimble marmoset; I’ll bring thee 
To clust’ring filberts, and sometimes I’ll get thee 
Young scamels from the rock. Wilt thou go with me ? 
II. ii. 171 
Now I will believe 
That there are unicorns ; that in Arabia 
There is one tree, the phoenix’ throne ; one phoenix 
At this hour reigning there. 
III. iii. 21. 
Iris. Ceres, most bounteous lady, thy rich leas 
Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats, and pease; 
Thy turfy mountains, where live nibbling sheep, 
And flat meads, thatch’d with stover, them to keep;
