A miracle. Here's our own hands against our hearts. Come, I will have thee, but by this light I take thee for pity. Beatrice: I would not deny you, but by this good day, I yield upon great persuasion, and partly to save your life, for I was told you were in a consumption. Benedick: Peace. I will stop your mouth.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
In thy youth wast as true a lover, As ever sighed upon a midnight pillow
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie, And young affection gapes to be his heir That fair for which love groan'd for and would die, With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.
William Shakespeare
Some there be that shadows kiss Such have but a shadow's bliss.
William Shakespeare
Fair thoughts and happy hours attend on you.
William Shakespeare
