ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, III,vii
A good rebuke,
Which might have well becomed the best of men,
To taunt at slackness...
CYMBELINE I,i
That a king's children should be so convey'd!
So slackly guarded! and the search so slow,
That could not trace them!
HENRY VI, Part 1, I,i
We will not fly, but to our enemies' throats:-
Bedford, if thou be slack, I'll fight it out.
HENRY VI, Part 2, I,ii
And, being a woman, I will not be slack
To play my part in Fortune's pageant.
KING LEAR, I,iii
If you come slack of former services,
You shall do well...
KING LEAR, II,iv
...If then they chanced to slack you,
We could control them....
OTHELLO, IV,i
But I do think it is their husbands' faults
If wives do fall: say that they slack their duties,
And pour our treasures into foreign laps;
PERICLES IV,ii
Alack that Leonine was so slack, so slow!
RICHARD III, I,iv
By heaven, the duke shall know how slack thou art!
ROMEO AND JULIET, IV,i
My father Capulet will have it so;
And I am nothing slow to slack his haste.
THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR III,iv
Well, I must of another errand to Sir John Falstaff from my two
mistresses: what a beast am I to slack it!
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW I,ii
Sir, I shall not be slack: in sign whereof,
Please ye we may contrive this afternoon,
And quaff carouses to our mistress' health...
THE WINTER'S TALE V,i
...the wrongs I have done thee stir
Afresh within me; and these thy offices,
So rarely kind, are as interpreters
Of my behindhand slackness!
TROILUS AND CRESSIDA III,iii
...but this Antenor,
I know, is such a wrest in their affairs,
That their negotiations all must slack,
Wanting his manage...

Look, PAL, I'm only going to say this ONCE:
BLEEDING HEAD GOOD -- HEALED HEAD BAD!
You CAN NOT have too muck sLacK!
