Pronoun
this, plural these

  1. The thing, item, etc. being indicated.

#: This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune,�often the surfeit of our own behaviour,�we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical pre-dominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star! My father compounded with my mother under the dragon's tail, and my nativity was under ursa major; so that it follows I am rough and lecherous.�Tut! I should have been that I am, had the maidenliest star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardizing. � Shakespeare, King Lear, Act 1. Scene 2.
