Coward. A plague of all cowards, I say, and a vengeance too

A coward is worse than a cup of fack with lime in it

This fanguine coward

And thou a natural coward without instinct

For coward dogs, most spend their mouths, when what they seem to threaten runs

So cowards fight, when they can fly no further

By his rare example, made the coward turn terror into sport
Swear priests and cowards

die many times before their deaths

His coin, thips, legions may be a coward's

Plenty and peace breeds cowards

Father cowards, and base things fire bafe living to die with lengthen'd shame

And now our cowards, like fragments in hard voyages, became the life o' the need Ib. 5 3 Cowardice. Falfhood, cowardice, and low descent, three things that woman highly hold
