William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
But thy eternal summer shall not fade.
William Shakespeare
Let never day nor night unhallowed pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done.
William Shakespeare
O my good lord, that comfort comes too late, 'Tis like a pardon after execution. That gentle physic, given in time, had cured me But now I am past all comforts here but prayers.
William Shakespeare
Base men being in love have then a nobility in their natures more than is native to them.
William Shakespeare
