When she did well, what did ther elce amiss? 
When she did ill what empires could have pleased? (Sir Walter Ralegh, 
"The Ocean to Cynthia" (qtd. by Montrose 2006, 91) 
 
I press'd me none but good householders, yeoman's sons ... 
Such a commodity of warm slaves. (Falstaff, Henry IV, Part One, 4.2.14- 
17) 
 
King and commander of our commonweal, 
The wide world's emperor, do I consecrate 
My sword, my chariot and my prisoners. (Titus, Titus Andronicus 1.1.247- 
49)
