Full list of words from this list:

  1. ravish
    hold spellbound
    With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design
    Moves like a ghost.
  2. dudgeon
    a feeling of intense righteous anger
    Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses,
    Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still,
    And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,
    Which was not so before.
  3. prate
    speak about unimportant matters rapidly and incessantly
    Thou sure and firm-set earth,
    Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear
    Thy very stones prate of my whereabout,
    And take the present horror from the time,
    Which now suits with it.
  4. oppress
    come down on or keep down by unjust use of one's authority
    Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
    To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
    A dagger of the mind, a false creation,
    Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
  5. stealthy
    marked by quiet and caution and secrecy
    Now o'er the one halfworld
    Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse
    The curtain'd sleep; witchcraft celebrates
    Pale Hecate's offerings, and wither'd murder,
    Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf,
    Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace.
  6. palpable
    capable of being perceived
    I see thee yet, in form as palpable
    As this which now I draw.
