William Shakespeare
Eternity was in our lips and eyes, Bliss in our brows' bent none our parts so poor But was a race of heaven.
William Shakespeare
Man, proud man, drest in a little brief authority, most ignorant of what he's most assur d, glassy essence, like an angry ape, plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven, as make the angels weep.
William Shakespeare
Good hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow.
William Shakespeare
In the modesty of fearful duty, I read as much as from the rattling tongue of saucy and audacious eloquence.
William Shakespeare
Thus have I, Wall, my part discharged so And, being done, thus Wall away doth go.
William Shakespeare
