NP but tangentially. Measure for Measure

[Mark Kohut]

the play from which Pynchon got a story title "Mortality and
Mercy in Vienna [which] live in thy tongue and heart", said by the Duke as he 
deputizes Angelo, 
who will prove [in the sense of test] that praise.............also is praised 
for all his 'belongings"
meaning 'qualities pertaining to'----Cf. Man Without Qualities---the earliest 
known substantive use with that meaning by centuries
sez the OED!-------

And velvet is an overt motif in an early speech---"Thou art good velvet"---now 
Elvis Kitsch in Inherent Vice

A---and, there is this line regarding Grace: "Grace is grace despite of all 
controversy"  which ends "thou thyself
art a wicked villain despite of all grace"...one says of another (not Angelo)
