Her only fault, and that is faults enough, Is that she is intolerable curst And shrewd and froward, so beyond all measure That, were my state far worser than it is, I would not wed her for a mine of gold. Taming of the Shrew. Act I. Sc. 2. L. 88. </poem>

And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks

The fear o' hell's the hangman's whip
To laud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honor grip,
Let that aye be your border.
Burns—Epistle to a Young Friend.
Fear is an ague, that forsakes
And haunts, by fits, those whom it takes;
And they'll opine they feel the pain
And blows they felt, to-day, again.

His fear was greater than his haste:
For fear, though fleeter than the wind,
Believes 'tis always left behind.

Like one, that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round, walks on,
And turns no more his headj
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.

His frown was full of terror, and his voice
Shook the delinquent with such fits of awe
As left him not, till penitence had won
Lost favor back again, and clos'd the breach

The clouds dispell'd, the sky resum'd her light,
And Nature stood recover'd of her fright. '
But fear, the last of ills, remain'd behind,
And horror heavy sat on every mind.

We are not apt to fear for the fearless, when we
are companions in their danger.
