| AC I.ii.145 | [Antony to Enobarbus, of Cleopatra] I do not think there is mettle in death ... she hath such a celerity in dying |
| H5 III.chorus.2 | [Chorus] Thus with imagined wing our swift scene flies / In motion of no less celerity / Than that of thought |
| MM IV.ii.107 | [disguised Duke to himself] hath offence his quick celerity, / When it is borne in high authority |
| MM V.i.391 | [Duke to Isabella, of Claudio] It was the swift celerity of his death ... / That brained my purpose |
