Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Sit

Why should a man, whose blood is warm within,
Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster?

Is’t possible? Sits the wind in that corner?
Shakespeare.—Much Ado About Nothing, Act II. Scene 3. (Benedick on hearing that Beatrice loves him.)
