Shakespeare, (v)

 

"Thou hast not half that power to do me harm

As I have to be hurt. Oh gull! Oh dolt

As ignorant as dirt! Thou hast done a deed, --

I care not for thy sword"

William Shakespeare

Othello, The Moor Of Venice Act IV Scene II

Shakespeare (iv)

 

"What studied torments, tyrant, hast for me?

What wheels? racks? fires? what flaying? boiling

in leads or oils? what older or newer torture

Must I receive, whose every word deserves

To taste of thy most worst? Thy tyranny

Together working with thy jealousies,--"

William Shakespeare

The Winter's Tale, Act III Scene III

Shakespeare (iii)

 

"O, he's as tedious

As is a tired horse, a railing wife;

Worse than a smoky house: --I had rather live

With cheese and garlic in a windmill, far,

Than feed on cates and have him talk to me

In any summer-house in Christiandom."

William Shakespeare

First Part Of King Henry IV, Act III Scene I

Shakespeare (ii)

 

"Drink, servant-monster, when I bid thee:

thy eyes are almost set in thy head."

William Shakespeare

The Tempest, Act III Scene II

Shakespeare

"I cannot tell: --things must be as they

may: men may sleep, and they may have their

throats about them at that time; and, some

say, knives have edges. It must be as it may:

though patience be a tired mare, yet she will

plod. There must be conclusions. Well, I

cannot tell."

William Shakespeare

Henry V, Act 2, Scene 1

"Antony,

Leave thy lascivious wassails. When thou once

Was beaten from Modena, where thou slew’st

Hirsius and Pansa, consuls, at thy heel

Did famine follow, whom thou fought’st against,

Though daintily brought up, with patience more

Than savages could suffer. Thou didst drink

The stale of horses and the gilded puddle

Which beasts would cough at. Thy palate then did

deign

The roughest berry on the rudest hedge.

Yea, like the stag when snow the pasture sheets,

The barks of trees thou browsèd. On the Alps

It is reported thou didst eat strange flesh

Which some did die to look on. And all this—

It wounds thine honor that I speak it now—

Was borne so like a soldier that thy cheek

So much as lanked not."

William Shakespeare

Antony And Cleopatra, Act 1 Scene 4

"What a wicked beast was I to disfurnish
