Hoy-day!
What a sweep of vanity comes this way!

Methinks I am a prophet new in...

Methinks I am a prophet new inspired
And thus, expiring, do foretell of him:
His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,
For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
Small show'rs last long, but sudden storms are short;
He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes;
With eager feeding doth choke the feeder;
Light vanity, insatiate cormorant,
Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.

Where doth the world thrust fo...

Where doth the world thrust forth a vanity
(So it be new, there's no respect how vile)
That is not quickly buzzed into his ears?

There are grades of vanity, th...

There are grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in
concealing it.

We are oft to blame in this,

We are oft to blame in this,
'Tis too much proved, that with devotion's visage
And pious action we do sugar o'er
The devil himself.

William Shakespeare 03.03.2018 03:03:03 6495 quotes

Let me be cruel, not unnatural...

Let me be cruel, not unnatural;
I will speak daggers to her, but use none.
My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites:
How in my words somever she be shent,
To give them seals never, my soul, consent!

Away, and mock the time with f...

Away, and mock the time with fairest show;
False face must hide what the false heart doth khow.

O serpent heart, hid with a fl...

O serpent heart, hid with a flow'ring face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?

So smooth he daubed his vice w...

So smooth he daubed his vice with show of virtue
That, his apparent open guilt omitted--
I mean, his conversation with Shore's wife--
He lived from all attainder of suspects.

O that this too too sullied fl...

O that this too too sullied flesh would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,
Or that the Everlasting had not fixed
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter.

They have tied me to a stake. ...

They have tied me to a stake. I cannot fly,
But bear-like I must fight the course.

If thou dost slander her and t...

If thou dost slander her and torture me,
Never pray more; abandon all remorse;
On horror's head horrors accumulate;
Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amazed;
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Greater than that.

O, break, my heart! poor bank...

O, break, my heart! poor bankrout, break at once!
To prison, eyes; ne'er look on liberty!
Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here,
And thou and Romeo press one heavy bier!

Discomfort guides my tongue

Discomfort guides my tongue
And bids me speak of nothing but despair.

William Shakespeare 03.03.2018 03:03:03 6495 quotes

But, O thou tyrant,
Do not repent these things, for they are heavier
Than all thy woes can stir. Therefore betake thee
To nothing but despair.

He who has never hoped can nev...

He who has never hoped can never despair.

We have scorched the snake, no...

We have scorched the snake, not killed it.
She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former tooth.

When last the young Orlando pa...

When last the young Orlando parted from you,
He left a promise to return again
Within a hour; and pacing through the forest,
Chewing the food of sweet and bitter fancy,
Lo, what befell!

Tell me where is fancy bred,

Tell me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart, or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
Reply, reply.
It is engend'red in the eyes,
With gazing fed, and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.

William Shakespeare 03.03.2018 03:03:03 6495 quotes

So full of shapes is fancy

So full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.
