INTERCOURSE to JEMMY DAWSON

INTERCOURSE.—The kindly intercourse will ever prove
A bond of amity and social love.

INTEREST.—Int’erst makes all seem Reason that leads to it.
Int’rest that does the zeal of sects create,
To purge a Church, and to reform a State.

Dryden.—The Maiden Queen, Act IV. Scene 1.

INTERPRETER.—Egad! I think the interpreter is the hardest to be understood of the two!

R. B. Sheridan.—The Critic, Act I. Scene 1.

INTOXICATION.—Man, being reasonable, must get drunk;
The best of life is but intoxication:
Glory, the grape, love, gold, in these are sunk
The hopes of all men, and of every nation;
But to return, get very drunk, and when
You wake with headache, you shall see what then.

Byron.—Don Juan, Canto II. Stanza 179.

INTRUDER.—Unmannerly intruder as thou art!

Shakespeare.—Titus Andronicus, Act II. Scene 3. (Tamora to Bassianus.)

IRELAND.—Long, from a nation ever hardly used,
At random censured, wantonly abused,
Have Britons drawn their sport; with partial view
Form’d general notions from the rascal few.

Churchill.—The Rosciad, Line 529.

IRONICALLY.—Fy, fy, Sir Anthony! you surely speak laconically.

ITCHING.—Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself
Are much condemn’d to have an itching palm.

Shakespeare.—Julius Cæsar, Act IV. Scene 3. (Brutus to Cassius.)

IVY.— He was
The ivy which had hid my princely trunk,
And suck’d my verdure out on’t.

Shakespeare.—The Tempest, Act I. Scene 2. (Prospero to Miranda.)

IVY.—Usurping ivy, briar, or idle moss;
Who, all for want of pruning, with intrusion
Infect thy sap, and live on thy confusion.

Shakespeare.—Com. of Errors, Act II. Scene 2. (Adriana to Antipholus of S.)

As creeping ivy clings to wood or stone,
And hides the ruin that it feeds upon.

Cowper.—The Progress of Error, Line 285.

JACK IN OFFICE.—I do despise them;
For they do prank them in authority,
Against all noble sufferance.
