The woosel cock so black of hu...

The woosel cock so black of hue,
With orange-tawny bill,
The throstle with his note so true,
The wren with little quill--
. . . .
The finch, the sparrow, and the lark,
The plain-song cuckoo grey,
Whose note full many a man doth mark,
And dares not answer nay.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

I have heard
The cock, ...

I have heard
The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,
Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat
Awake the god of the day, and at his warning,
Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,
Th' extravagant and erring spirit hies
To his confine; and of the truth herein
This present object made probation.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Hark, hark! I hear

Hark, hark! I hear
The strain of strutting chanticleer
Cry cock-a-diddle-dowe.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

The early village cock
...

The early village cock
Hath twice done salutation to the morn:
Your friends are up and buckle on their armor.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Anon, as patient as the female...

Anon, as patient as the female dove
When that her golden couplets are disclosed,
His silence will sit drooping.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

. . . The dove and very blesse...

. . . The dove and very blessed spirit of peace, . . .

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

So shows a snowy dove trooping...

So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Last night the very gods showe...

Last night the very gods showed me a vision--
I fast and prayed for their intelligence--thus:
I saw Jove's bird, the Roman eagle, winged
From the spongy south to this part of the west,
There vanished in the sunbeams; which portends,
Unless my sins abuse my divination,
Success to th' Roman host.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

My free drift
Halts not...

My free drift
Halts not particularly, but moves itself
In a wide sea of wax; no levelled malice
Infects one comma in the course I hold,
But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on,
Leaving no tract behind.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

On Tuesday last

On Tuesday last
A falcon, now tow'ring in her pride of place,
Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

My falcon now is sharp and pas...

My falcon now is sharp and passing empty,
And till she stoop she must not be full-gorged,
For then she never looks upon her lure.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

When they him spy,
As w...

When they him spy,
As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye,
Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort,
Rising and cawing at the gun's report,
Sever themselves and madly sweep the sky;
So at his sight away his fellows fly,
And at our stamp here o'er and o'er one falls;
He murder cries and help from Athens calls.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

I am but mad north-north-west....

I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly I know
a hawk from a handsaw.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Between two hawks, which flies...

Between two hawks, which flies the higher pitch,
Between two dogs, which hath the deeper mouth,
Between two blades, which bears the better temper,
Between two horses, which doth bear him best,
Between two girls, which hath the merriest eye,
I have perhaps some shallow spirit of judgment;
But in these nice sharp quillets of the law,
Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

No marvel, an it like your maj...

No marvel, an it like your majesty,
My Lord Protector's hawks do tower so well;
They know their master loves to be aloft
And bears his thoughts above his falcon's pitch.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

When I bestride him, I soar, I...

When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Dost thou love hawking? Thou ...

Dost thou love hawking? Thou hast hawks will soar
Above the morning lark.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

What, is the jay more precious...

What, is the jay more precious than the lark
Because his feathers are more beautiful?
Or is the adder better than the eel
Because his painted skin contents the eye?

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Now begin;
For look whe...

Now begin;
For look where Beatrice, like a lapwing runs
Close by the ground, to hear our conference.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Then my dial goes not true; I ...

Then my dial goes not true; I look this lark for a bunting.
