That strain again! It had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough no more: 'Tis not so sweet as it was before.

William Shakespeare
Although the last, not least.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger At whose approach ghosts wandring here and there Troop home to church-yards.... For fear lest day should look their shames upon, They willfully exile themselves from light, And must for aye consort with black brow'd night.
William Shakespeare

It was a lover and his lass, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, That o'er the green corn-field did pass, In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding Sweet lovers love the spring.
William Shakespeare
Upon his royal face there is no note how dread an army hath enrounded him.
William Shakespeare
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.

Ill deeds are doubled with an evil word.

You know who you are, but know not who you could be.
