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

Much Ado About Nothing

My lord , my lord ,
I’ll prove it on his body if he dare ,
Despite his nice fence and his active practice ,
His May of youth and bloom of lustihood .

Troilus and Cressida


You are for dreams and slumbers , brother priest .
You fur your gloves with reason . Here are your
reasons :
You know an enemy intends you harm ;
You know a sword employed is perilous ,
And reason flies the object of all harm .
Who marvels , then , when Helenus beholds
A Grecian and his sword , if he do set
The very wings of reason to his heels
And fly like chidden Mercury from Jove
Or like a star disorbed ? Nay , if we talk of reason ,
Let’s shut our gates and sleep . Manhood and honor
Should have hare hearts , would they but fat their
thoughts
With this crammed reason . Reason and respect
Make livers pale and lustihood deject .
