William Shakespeare
If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide, By self-example mayst thou be denied.
William Shakespeare
Beauty, wit, High birth, vigour of bone, desert in service, Love, friendship, charity, are subjects all To envious and calumniating time.
William Shakespeare
Master, go on, and I will follow thee To the last gasp with truth and loyalty.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a slave, whom fortune's tender arm With favour never clasp'd but bred a dog.
William Shakespeare
A hand as fruitful as the land that feeds us His dew falls everywhere.
William Shakespeare
DEMETRIUS Relent, sweet Hermia: and, Lysander, yield Thy crazed title to my certain right. LYSANDER You have her father's love, Demetrius Let me have Hermia's: do you marry him.
William Shakespeare
