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

King Lear

A servingman , proud in heart and mind , that
curled my hair , wore gloves in my cap , served the
lust of my mistress’ heart and did the act of
darkness with her , swore as many oaths as I spake
words and broke them in the sweet face of heaven ;
one that slept in the contriving of lust and waked to
do it . Wine loved I deeply , dice dearly , and in
woman out-paramoured the Turk . False of heart ,
light of ear , bloody of hand ; hog in sloth , fox in
stealth , wolf in greediness , dog in madness , lion in
prey . Let not the creaking of shoes nor the rustling
of silks betray thy poor heart to woman . Keep thy
foot out of brothels , thy hand out of plackets , thy
pen from lenders’ books , and defy the foul fiend .
Still through the hawthorn blows the cold wind ;
says suum , mun , nonny . Dolphin my boy , boy , sessa !
Let him trot by .

King Lear

Tom will throw his head at them . — Avaunt , you
curs !
Be thy mouth or black or white ,
Tooth that poisons if it bite ,
Mastiff , greyhound , mongrel grim ,
Hound or spaniel , brach , or lym ,
Bobtail tike , or trundle-tail ,
Tom will make him weep and wail ;
For , with throwing thus my head ,
Dogs leapt the hatch , and all are fled .
Do de , de , de . Sessa ! Come , march to wakes
and fairs and market towns . Poor Tom , thy horn
is dry .

The Taming of the Shrew

You’re a baggage ! The Slys are no rogues . Look
in the chronicles . We came in with Richard Conqueror .
Therefore , paucas pallabris , let the world
slide . Sessa !
