Such is my love, to thee I so belong, That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
William Shakespeare
What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers--shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
William Shakespeare
Come, and take choice of all my library, And so beguile thy sorrow.
William Shakespeare
