The words of Mercury are harsh after the songs of Apollo.
Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul,/But I do love thee! and when I love thee not,/Chaos is come again.
As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods,/They kill us for their sport.
How use doth breed a habit in a man!
For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground/And tell sad stories of the death of kings.
Let’s go hand in hand, not one before another
All the world ’s a stage,/And all the men and women merely players.
O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend/The brightest heaven of invention!
His nature is too noble for the world:/He would not flatter Neptune for his trident,/Or Jove for ’s power to thunder.
And many strokes, though with a little axe,/Hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak.
He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man.
A plague o’ both your houses!
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
Golden lads and girls all must,/As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
If it were done when ’t is done, then ’t were well/It were done quickly
As an arrow shot/From a well-experienc’d archer hits the mark/His eye doth level at.
Had I but served my God with half the zeal/I served my king, he would not in mine age/Have left me naked to mine enemies.
If music be the food of love, play on
We have heard the chimes at midnight.
QuotePlaySpeaker
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
Such duty as the subject owes the prince,/Even such a woman oweth to her husband.
Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
To unpathed waters, undreamed shores.
The common curse of mankind,—folly and ignorance.
The better part of valour is discretion.
Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world/Like a Colossus, and we petty men/Walk under his huge legs and peep about/To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale/Her infinite variety.
The quality of mercy is not strain’d
Now is the winter of our discontent/Made glorious summer by this sun of York
That no Italian priest/Shall tithe or toll in our dominions.
The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
Our revels now are ended.
A young man married is a man that ’s marr’d
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,/Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!
I will make a Star-chamber matter of it.
