Name


Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls; Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis something, nothing; ’Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name, Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed. Shakespeare.—Othello, Act III. Scene 3.	1
My name is Norval; on the Grampian hills My father feeds his flocks; a frugal swain, Whose constant cares were to increase his store, And keep his only son, myself, at home. For I had heard of battles, and I long’d To follow to the field some warlike lord; And Heav’n soon granted what my sire denied. Home.—Douglas, Act II. Scene 1.	2
Auf.—What is thy name? Cor.—A name unmusical to Volscian’s ears, And harsh in sound to thine. Shakespeare.—Coriolanus, Act IV. Scene 5.	3
A Junius Brutus, a Pomponius, or a Julius, or any other rusty name unwashed by baptism. Disraeli.—On Ridiculous Titles. (Curiosities of Lit. Vol. 2, p. 485.)	4
One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name. Anonymous.—Quoted by Sir Walter Scott in Old Mortality, Chap. XXXIII.	5
