I will be treble-sinewed, hearted, breathed, And fight maliciously for when mine hours Were nice and lucky, men did ransom lives Of me for jests but now I'll set my teeth And send to darkness all that stop me.
William Shakespeare
Image

William Shakespeare
Image
If [God] send me no husband, for the which blessing I am at him upon my knees every morning and evening.
William Shakespeare
Image
Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen from lender's books, and defy the foul fiend.
William Shakespeare
