"Venus and Adonis", 1593 (unique copy in the Malone Collection in the
Bodleian Library, Oxford); "Lucrece", 1594; "Passionate Pilgrim",

letters and numbers refer to the page signatures and to the line of

While it cannot be regarded as certain that whenever Shakespeare
writes of jewels or of rings he means those in which precious stones
were set, several of the passages more or less clearly indicate this,
and we therefore present here the more characteristic of the lines in
question:
A Death's face in a ring.
_Love's Labour's Lost_, Act v, sc. 2, l. 616.
"Comedies", p. 142, col. A, line 36.
The dearest ring in Venice will I give you.
_Merchant of Venice_, Act iv, sc. 1, l. 435.
"Comedies", p. 181, col. B, line 27.
_Diana_. O behold this ring
Whose high respect and rich validity
Did lack a parallel; yet for all that
He gave it to a commoner of the camp,
If I be one.
_Count_. He blushes, and 'tis it:
Of six preceding ancestors, that gem,
Conferr'd by testament to the sequent issue,
Hath it been owned and worn.
_All's Well That Ends Well_, Act v, sc. 3, l. 191-198.
"Comedies", p. 253, col. A, lines 1-8.
My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter!
Fled with a Christian! O my Christian ducats!
Justice! the law! my ducats and my daughter!
A sealed bag, two sealed bags of ducats,
Of double ducats, stolen from me by my daughter!
And jewels, two stones, two rich and precious stones,
Stolen by my daughter! Justice! find the girl;
She hath the stones upon her, and the ducats.
_Merchant of Venice_, Act ii, sc. 8, l. 15-22.
"Comedies", p. 171, col. B, lines 23-30.
