And fiends will snatch at it. Cold, cold, my girl!
Even like thy chastity.

William Shakespeare
Look, the world's comforter, with weary gait,
His day's hot task hath ended in the west:

And coal-black clouds, that shadow heaven's light,
Do summon us to part, and bid good night.

as any that she belie with false compare

In obstinate condolement is a course Of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief:

The quality of mercy is not strained,

The throned monarch better than his crown.

Repent what's past; avoid what is to come.

Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
So lust, though to a radiant angel link'd,
Will sate itself in a celestial bed,
And prey on garbage.

That will not be deep-search'd with saucy looks; Small have continual plodders ever won,

Have no more profit of their shining nights Than those that walk and wot not what they are.

To try me with affliction
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
