Lady Capulet's "Examine every married lineament"

from Ulrici, 1873 edition:

That Shakespeare puts in the mouth of Juliet's mother such, so called, Euphuisms is certainly not withou a deep design. She is distinguished by the style and matter of her speech as a highly cultivated, but in truth an artificial, woman of the world of that day, of considerable address, but without feeling, without heart or soul, who thinks more of fashionable elegance of manners, social advantage, &c., than of true inner worth, and is, therefore, more devoted to the world than to the care and education of her daughter.
