But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man; one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it; and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.

He that plays the king shall be welcome- his Majesty shall
have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and
target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall
end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose
lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind
freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.

I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream - past the wit of man to say what dream it was: man is but an ass, if he go about to expound this dream.... Methought I was, and methought I had - but man is but a patched fool, if he will offer to say what methought I had.... It shall be called Bottom's dream, because it hath no bottom.

Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan
The outward habit by the inward man.

But there is no such man; for, brother, men
Can counsel and speak comfort to that grief
Which they themselves not feel; but, tasting it,
Their counsel turns to passion, which before
Would give preceptial medicine to rage,
Fetter strong madness in a silken thread,
Charm ache with air and agony with words.

Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning; One pain is less'ned by another's anguish; Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning; One desperate grief cures with another's languish.

I'll never
Be such a gosling to obey instinct, but stand
As is a man were author of himself
And knew no other kin.
