There is a method in man's wickedness,-- It grows up by degrees. 2042 BEAUMONT AND FLETCHER: _A King and No King,_ Act v., Sc. 4.

May widows wed as often as they can, And ever for the better change their man; And some devouring plague pursue their lives, Who will not well be govern'd by their wives. 2043 DRYDEN: _Wife of Bath,_ Line 543.

=Wife.=

She is mine own: And I as rich in having such a jewel, As twenty seas, if all their sands were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold. 2044 SHAKS.: _Two Gent. of V.,_ Act ii., Sc. 4.

We'll leave a proof, by that which we will do, Wives may be merry, and yet honest too. 2045 SHAKS.: _Mer. W. of W.,_ Act iv., Sc. 2.

The wife, where danger or dishonor lurks, Safest and seemliest by her husband stays, Who guards her, or with her the worst endures. 2046 MILTON: _Par. Lost,_ Bk. ix., Line 267.

She is a bonnie wee thing, This sweet wee wife o' mine. 2047 BURNS: _My Wife's a Winsome Wee Thing._

Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless contiguity of shade. 2049 COWPER: _Task,_ Bk. ii., Line 1.

A poore soule sat sighing under a sycamore tree; Oh, willow, willow, willow! With his hand on his bosom, his head on his knee, Oh, willow, willow, willow! 2051 THOMAS PERCY: _Willow, Willow, Willow._

=Wind.=

What wind blew you hither, Pistol? Not the ill wind which blows none to good. 2052 SHAKS.: _2 Henry IV.,_ Act v., Sc. 3.

The wind is rising; it seizes and shakes The doors and window-blinds and makes Mysterious moanings in the halls; The convent-chimneys seem almost The trumpets of some heavenly host, Setting its watch upon our walls! 2053 LONGFELLOW: _Christus, Abbot Joachim._

A gentle wind of western birth, From some far summer sea, Wakes daisies in the wintry earth. 2054 GEORGE MACDONALD: _Songs of the Spring Days._

A melancholy sound is in the air, A deep sigh in the distance, a shrill wail Around my dwelling. 'Tis the Wind of night. 2055 WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT: _A Rain Dream._

=Windows.=

Rich windows that exclude the light, And passages that lead to nothing. 2056 GRAY: _A Long Story._

=Wine.=

Wine makes Love forget its care, And mirth exalts a feast. 2057 PARNELL: _Anacreontic, "Gay Bacchus, etc.",_ St. 2.

=Winter.=

Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York. 2061 SHAKS.: _Richard III.,_ Act i., Sc. 1.

See, Winter comes to rule the varied year, Sullen and sad, with all his rising train, Vapors, and clouds, and storms. 2062 THOMSON: _Seasons, Winter,_ Line 1.

But Winter has yet brighter scenes--he boasts Splendors beyond what gorgeous Summer knows; Or Autumn with his many fruits, and woods All flushed with many hues. 2063 WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT: _A Winter Piece._

No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array, But winter lingering chills the lap of May. 2064 GOLDSMITH: _Traveller,_ Line 171.

In rigorous hours, when down the iron lane The redbreast looks in vain For hips and haws, Lo, shining flowers upon my window-pane The silver pencil of the winter draws. 2065 ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON: _Winter._

=Wisdom.=

Wisdom and fortune combating together, If that the former dare but what it can, No chance may shake it. 2066 SHAKS.: _Ant. and Cleo.,_ Act iii., Sc. 11.

I hold a mouses wit not worth a leke, That hath but one hole for to sterten to. 2072 CHAUCER: _Canterbury Tales, The Wif of Bathes Prologue,_ Line 6154.

Wit's an unruly engine, wildly striking Sometimes a friend, sometimes the engineer. 2073 HERBERT: _Temple, Church Porch,_ St. 41.

Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide. 2074 DRYDEN: _Absalom and Achitophel,_ Pt. i., Line 163.

Men famed for wit, of dangerous talents vain, Treat those of common parts with proud disdain. 2075 CRABBE: _Patron,_ Line 229.

Though I am young, I scorn to flit On the wings of borrowed wit. 2076 GEORGE WITHER: _The Shepherd's Hunting._

=Witches.=

Midnight hags, By force of potent spells, of bloody characters, And conjurations, horrible to hear, Call fiends and spectres from the yawning deep, And set the ministers of hell at work. 2077 ROWE: _Jane Shore,_ Act iv., Sc. 1.

=Woe.=

But I have that within which passeth show; These but the trappings and the suits of woe. 2078 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act i., Sc. 1.

Woes cluster; rare are solitary woes; They love a train, they tread each other's heel. 2079 YOUNG: _Night Thoughts,_ Night iii., Line 63.

Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure Thrill the deepest notes of woe. 2080 BURNS: _Sweet Sensibility._

=Woman.=

Women are as roses; whose fair flower, Being once display'd, doth fall that very hour. 2082 SHAKS.: _Tw. Night,_ Act ii., Sc. 4.

Honor to women! to them it is given To garden the earth with the roses of Heaven. 2083 SCHILLER: _Honor to Women._

Nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote. 2084 MILTON: _Par. Lost,_ Bk. ix., Line 232.

O woman! lovely woman! Nature made thee To temper man; we had been brutes without you. 2085 OTWAY: _Venice Preserved,_ Act i., Sc. 1.

Where is the man who has the power and skill To stem the torrent of a woman's will? For if she will, she will, you may depend on 't; And if she won't, she won't; so there's an end on 't. 2086 _Copied from the pillar erected on the mount in the Dane John Field, Canterbury._ [_Examiner_: May 31, 1829.]

And yet believe me, good as well as ill, Woman's at best a contradiction still. Heaven, when it strives to polish all it can Its last best work, but forms a softer man. 2087 POPE: _Moral Essays,_ Epis. ii., Line 269.

Earth's noblest thing, a woman perfected. 2088 JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL: _Irene._

And whether coldness, pride, or virtue, dignify A woman; so she's good, what does it signify? 2089 BYRON: _Don Juan,_ Canto xiv., St. 57.

Oh, woman! in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made; When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou! 2090 SCOTT: _Marmion,_ Canto vi., St. 30.

The woman that deliberates is lost. 2091 ADDISON: _Cato,_ Act iv., Sc. 1.

A woman mixed of such fine elements That were all virtue and religion dead She'd make them newly, being what she was. 2092 GEORGE ELIOT: _The Spanish Gypsy,_ Bk. ii.

=Wonder.=

A schoolboy's tale, the wonder of an hour! 2094 BYRON: _Ch. Harold,_ Canto ii., St. 2.

=Woodland.=

Yon woodland, like a human mind, Has many a phase of dark and light; Now dim with shadows wandering blind, Now radiant with fair shapes of light. 2095 PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE: _The Woodland._

=Woodman.=

Woodman, spare that tree! Touch not a single bough! In youth it sheltered me, And I'll protect it now. 2096 GEORGE P. MORRIS: _Woodman, Spare that Tree._

'Tis well said again, And 'tis a kind of good deed to say well: And yet words are no deeds. 2098 SHAKS.: _Henry VIII.,_ Act iii., Sc. 2.

My words fly up, my thoughts remain below: Words without thoughts, never to heaven go. 2099 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act iii., Sc. 3.

Words, however, are things. 2102 OWEN MEREDITH: _Lucile,_ Pt. i., Canto ii., St. 6.

Men must work, and women must weep. 2105 CHARLES KINGSLEY: _The Three Fishers._

=World.=

Why, then, the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open. 2106 SHAKS.: _Mer. W. of W.,_ Act ii., Sc. 2.

You have too much respect upon the world: They lose it that do buy it with much care. 2107 SHAKS.: _M. of Venice,_ Act i., Sc. 1.

Fast by hanging in a golden chain, This pendent world, in bigness as a star. 2108 MILTON: _Par. Lost,_ Bk. ii., Line 1051.

This world is all a fleeting show, For man's illusion given; The smiles of joy, the tears of woe, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow-- There 's nothing true but Heaven. 2109 MOORE: _This World is all a Fleeting Show._
