William Shakespeare
He is white-livered and red-faced.
William Shakespeare
Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Save a proud rider on his back.
William Shakespeare
Away, you cut-purse rascal! you filthy bung, away! By this wine, I'll thrust my knife in your mouldy chaps, an you play the saucy cuttle with me. Away, you bottle-ale rascal! you basket-hilt stale juggler, you!
William Shakespeare
I am a feather for each wind that blows
William Shakespeare
Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, Pale in her anger washes all the air, That rheumatic diseases do abound And through this distemperature we see The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.
William Shakespeare
I would not wish any companion in the world but you.
William Shakespeare
