The moon of Rome, chaste as the icicle that's curded by the frost from purest snow.
William Shakespeare
O sleep, O gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee, 1710. That thou no more will weigh my eyelids down, And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
William Shakespeare
Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak.
William Shakespeare
