William Shakespeare
This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-Paradise.
William Shakespeare
Bring me a constant woman to her husband, One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure, And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour-a great patience.
William Shakespeare
My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw.
William Shakespeare
Bad is the trade that must play fool to sorrow, Ang'ring itself and others.
