DUKE SENIOR: And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

By the triple Hecat’s team
From the presence of the sun,
Following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolic.

O, cut my lace, lest my heart, cracking it,
Break too! The Queen, the Queen,
The sweet’st, dear’st creature’s dead.

In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood…
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect.

I think our country sinks beneath the yoke,
It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash
Is added to her wounds.

Goodman Verges, sir, speaks a little off the matter; an old man, sir, and his wits are not so blunt as, God help, I would desire they were, but in faith, honest as the skin between his brows.

Marry, sir, they have committed false report; moreover they have spoken untruths; secondarily, they are slanders; sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady; thirdly, they have verified unjust things; and to conclude, they are lying knaves.

Ay, but to die, and go we know not where;
To lie in cold obstruction, and to rot;
This sensible warm motion to become
A kneaded clod…

Give me my robe, put on my crown, I have
Immortal longings in me…

Methinks I hear
Antony call; I see him rouse himself
To praise my noble act. Husband, I come!…

I am fire and air; my other elements
I give to baser life.

He that plays the king shall be welcome, the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target, the lover shall not sigh gratis, the humorous man shall end his part in peace, and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt for’t.

I am thy father’s spirit,
Doom’d for a certain term to walk the night,
And for the day confined to fast in fires,
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
Are burnt and purged away.

Fairies, black, grey, green, and white,
You moonshine revelers, and shades of night,
You orphan heirs of fixéd destiny,
Attend your office and your quality.
Twenty glow-worms shall our lanterns be,
To guide our measure round about the tree.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold—
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
