Here's Agamemnon, an honest fellow enough, and one that loves
quails, but he has not so much brain as ear-wax; and the goodly
transformation of Jupiter there, his brother, the bull, the
primitive statue and oblique memorial of cockolds; a thrifty
shoeing-horn in a chain, hanging at his brother's leg, to what
form but that he is should wit larded with malice and malice
forced with wit turn him to? To an ass, were nothing; he is both
ass and ox: to an ox, were nothing; he is bo

Come, the croaking raven doth ...

Come, the croaking raven doth bellow for revenge.

The raven himself is hoarse

The raven himself is hoarse
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan
Under my battlements.

Thou said'st--O, it comes o'er...

Thou said'st--O, it comes o'er my memory
As doth the raven o'er the infected house,
Boding to all!--He had my handkerchief.

Did ever raven sing so like a ...

Did ever raven sing so like a lark
That gives sweet tidings of the sun's uprise?

Marry, by these special marks:...

Marry, by these special marks: first, you have learned, like Sir
Proteus, to wreathe your arms like a malcontent, to relish a
love-song like a robin-redbreast, to walk alone like one that had
the pestilence, to sigh like a schoolboy that had lost his A B C,
to weep like a young wench that had buried her grandam, to fast
like one that takes diet, to watch like one that fears robbing,
to speak puling like a beggar at Hallowmas.

For you know, nuncle,
The hedge-sparrow fed the cuckoo so long
That it's had it head bit off by it young.

Her tongue will not obey her h...

Her tongue will not obey her heart, nor can
Her heart inform her tongue--the swan's down-feather
That stands upon the swell at full of tide,
And neither way inclines.

We bodged again, as I have bee...

We bodged again, as I have been a swan
With bootless labor swim against the tide
And spend her strength with overmatching waves.

I am the cygnet to this pale f...

I am the cygnet to this pale faint swan,
Who chants a doleful hymn to his own death,
And from the organ-pipe of fraity sings
His soul and body to their lasting rest.

Let music sound while he doth ...

Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swanlike end,
Fading in music.

I will play the swan,
A...

I will play the swan,
And die in music.

Coal-black is better than anot...

Coal-black is better than another hue
In that it scorns to bear another hue;
For all the water in the ocean
Can never turn the swan's black legs to white,
Although she lave them hourly in the flood.

Who are the violets now

Who are the violets now
That strew the green lap of the new-come spring?

It had a dying fall;
O,...

It had a dying fall;
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor.

Perseverance, dear my lord,

Perseverance, dear my lord,
Keeps honor bright; to have done, is to hang
Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail
In monumental mock'ry.

But Hercules himself must yiel...

But Hercules himself must yield to odds;
And many strokes, though with a little axe,
Hews down and fells the hardest-timbered oak.

I am tied to the stake, and I ...

I am tied to the stake, and I must stand the course.

Good Margaret, run thee to the...

Good Margaret, run thee to the parlor.
There shalt thou find my cousin Beatrice
Proposing with the Prince and Claudio.
Whisper her ear and tell her, I and Ursley
Walk in the orchard, and our whole discourse
Is all of her. Say that thou overheard'st us;
And bid her steal into the pleached bower,
Where honeysuckles, ripened by the sun,
Forbid the sun to enter--like favorites,
Made proud

No, Antony, take the lot:

No, Antony, take the lot:
But, first or last, your fine Egyptian cookery
Shall have the fame. I have heard that Julius Caesar
Grew faw with feasting there.
