Frequency: 1

Here are all of the speeches where languageless shows up across the corpus:

Troilus and Cressida

Why , he stalks up and down like a peacock —
a stride and a stand ; ruminates like an hostess
that hath no arithmetic but her brain to set
down her reckoning ; bites his lip with a politic regard ,
as who should say There were wit in this
head an ’twould out — and so there is , but it lies
as coldly in him as fire in a flint , which will not
show without knocking . The man’s undone forever ,
for if Hector break not his neck i’ th’ combat ,
he’ll break ’t himself in vainglory . He knows not
me . I said Good morrow , Ajax , and he replies
Thanks , Agamemnon . What think you of this
man that takes me for the General ? He’s grown a
very land-fish , languageless , a monster . A plague of
opinion ! A man may wear it on both sides , like a
leather jerkin .
