Summary
This list, which contains 192 examples, is nearly if not quite complete.
The Two Gentlemen (5):

1. 1. 140 f.Sir, your glove.—Not mine, my gloves are on.
2. 1. 1.Go with me. Once more, new servant, welcome.
2. 4. 118.Madam, if your heart be so obdurate,
4. 2. 120.Measure for Measure (IO—see p. 323):

2. 3. 39.Say you so? then I shall pose you quickly.
2. 4. 51.Mark what I say, which you shall find by every
