William S:
"to speak puling, like a beggar at Hallowmas."
-Two Gentlemen of Verona
"He, like a puling cuckold, would drink up,
the lees and dregs of a flat tamed piece;"
-Troilus and Cressida
"And then to have a wretched puling fool,
A whining mammet, in her fortune's tender,"
-Romeo and Juliet
"Leave this faint puling and lament as I do,
In anger, Juno-like. Come, come, come."
-Coriolanus
