Reckoning


I ne’er cost you a coach yet, nor put you to the dear repentance of a banquet. Beaumont and Fletcher.—Philaster, Act II. Scene 2.	1
So comes a reck’ning when the banquet’s o’er, The dreadful reck’ning, and men smile no more. Gay.—What d’ye Call It, Act II. Scene 9.	2
No reckoning made, but sent to my account With all my imperfections on my head. Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act I. Scene 5. (The Ghost to Hamlet.)	3
And I, with all my sins about me, hurl’d To th’ utter darkness of the lower world. Roscommon.—The Ghost, last Line but two.	4
I am ill at reckoning; it fits the spirit of a tapster. Shakespeare.—Love’s Labour’s Lost, Act I. Scene 2. (Armado to Moth.)	5
Ruminates like an hostess that hath no arithmetic but her brain to set down her reckoning. Shakespeare.—Troilus and Cress., Act III. Scene 3. (Thersites to Achilles.)	6
