Theme: the description of truth and issue in shakespeare's histories plan

§ “And you, my sinews, grow not instant old.” (Hamlet I:5);
§ “Which the false man does easy” (Macbeth II: 3).find the two forms of the adverb side by side in:
§ “She was new lodged and newly deified.” (A Lover's Complaint. 84).
The position of the article shows that mere is an adverb in:
§ “Heaven and our Lady gracious has it pleas’d.” (First Part of King Henry the Sixth);
§ “Ay, surely, mere the truth.” (All's Well That Ends Well III:5 ).
Such transpositions as “our lady gracious”, (adj.) where “gracious” is a mere epithet, are not common in Shakespeare. For example:
§ “My lady sweet, arise,” (Cymbeline II:3).
“My-lady” is more like one word than “our lady,” and is also an appellative. In appellations such transpositions are allowed. the two forms occur together:
§ “And she will speak most bitterly and strange.” (Measure for Measure V:1).
In Shakespeare’s works intransitive verbs sometimes acquire the transitional value. For example:
§ “Why this same strict and observant watch so nightly toils the subject of the land?” (Hamlet I:1).
§ In rare cases, the transitive verbs were used in the intransitive sense. For example verb “to lack (to be needed)”.
“… and what so poor a man as Hamlet is may do to express his love and friending to you, God willing, shall not lack.” (Hamlet I: 5).simple present for complete present with adverbs signifying “as yet,” &c. This is in accordance with the Latin idiom, “jampridem opto,” &c., and it is explicable on the ground that, when an action continued up to the present time is still continuing, the speaker may prefer the verb to dwell simply on the fact that the action is present, allowing the adverb to express the past continuousness:
§ “That's the worst tidings that I hear of yet.” (Henry IV I:4);
§ “How does your honour for this many a day?” (Hamlet III:3).Subjunctive after verbs of command and entreaty is especially common; naturally, since command implies a purpose.
