Sc. 1. + +Why I, in this weak, piping time of peace, +Have no delight to pass away the time. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +To leave this keen encounter of our wits. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Was ever woman in this humor wooed? +Was ever woman in this humor won? + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +O, I have passed a miserable night, +So full of fearful dreams, of ugly sights, +That, as I am a Christian faithful man, +I would not spend another such a night, +Though 'twere to buy a world of happy days. + + +Act iv. Sc. 2. + +Thou troublest me; I am not in the vein. + + +Act iv. Sc. 4. + +Let not the heavens hear these telltale women +Hail on the Lord's anointed. + + +Act iv. Sc. 4. + +An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told + + +Act v. Sc. 2. + +Thus far into the bowels of the land +Have we marched on without impediment. + + +Act v. Sc. 2. + +True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings, +Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. + + +Act v. Sc. 3. + +The king's name is a tower of strength. + + +Act v. Sc. 4. + +I have set my life upon a cast, +And I will stand the hazard of the die. + + +Act v. Sc. 4. + +A horse! a horse! My kingdom for a horse! + + +KING HENRY VIII. + + +Act ii. Sc. 3. + +Verily, +I swear, 'tis better to be lowly born, +And range with humble livers in content, +Than to be perked up in a glistering grief, +And wear a golden sorrow. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +And then to breakfast with +What appetite you have. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness! +This is the state of man. To-day he puts forth +The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms +And bears his blushing honors thick upon him. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +O how wretched +Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favors! +There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to +That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, +More pangs and fears than wars or women have; +And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, +Never to hope again. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Had I but served my God with half the zeal +I served my king, he would not in mine age +Have left me naked to mine enemies. + +Act iv.

Sc. 2. + +I cannot tell what you and other men +Think of this life; but for my single self, +I had as lief not be as live to be +In awe of such a thing as I myself. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Dar'st thou, Cassius, now +Leap in with me into this angry flood, +And swim to yonder point?--Upon the word, +Accoutred as I was, I plunged in, +And bade him follow. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Ye gods, it doth amaze me, +A man of such a feeble temper should +So get the start of the majestic world, +And bear the palm alone. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world, +Like a Colossus, and we petty men +Walk under his huge legs, and peep about +To find ourselves dishonorable graves. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Let me have men about me that are fat; +Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights; +Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look; +He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Seldom he smiles; and smiles in such a sort, +As if he mocked himself, and scorned his spirit, +That could be moved to smile at anything. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +But, for mine own part, it was Greek to me. + + +Act ii. Sc. 1. + +Between the acting of a dreadful thing +And the first motion, all the interim is +Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream. + + +Act ii. Sc. 1. + +Yon are my true and honorable wife, +As dear to me as the ruddy drops +That visit my sad heart. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Cowards die many times before their deaths; +The valiant never taste of death but once. + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +Though last, not least, in love. + + +Act iii.

Sc. 2. + +Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved +Rome more. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Who is here so base, that would be a bondman? +If any, speak: for him have I offended. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2.. + +The evil that men do lives after them; +The good is oft interred with their bones. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +For Brutus is an honorable man; +So are they all, all honorable men. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept; +Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +But yesterday, the word of Caesar might +Have stood against the world; now lies he there, +And none so poor to do him reverence. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +If you have years, prepare to shed them now. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +See, what a rent the envious Casca made! + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +This was the most unkindest cut of all. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Great Caesar fell. +O what a fall was there, my countrymen! + + +Act iii.

Sc. 3. + +A friend should bear a friend's infirmities, +But Brutus makes mine greater than they are. + + +Act iv. Sc. 3. + +There is a tide in the affairs of men, +Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune: +Omitted, all the voyage of their life +Is bound in shallows, and in miseries. + + +Act v.

Sc. 4. + +Poor naked wretches, wheresoe'er you are, +That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm, +How shall your houseless heads, and unfed sides, +Your looped and windowed raggedness, defend you +From seasons such as these? + + * * * * * + +Take physic, pomp; +Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel. + + +Act iii.

Sc. 2. + +O swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, +That monthly changes in her circled orb, +Lest that thy love prove likewise variable. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Good-night, good-night! parting is such sweet sorrow, +That I shall say good-night till it be morrow. + + +Act ii. Sc. 3. + +Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears + +Act ii. Sc. 4. + +Stabbed with a white wench's black eye. + + +Act ii. Sc. 4. + +I am the very pink of courtesy. + + +Act ii.

Sc, 1. + +A plague o' both the houses! + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +_Rom_. Courage, man I the hurt cannot be much. +_Mer_. No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; +but 'tis enough. + + +Act iii. Sc. 3. + +Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy + + +Act iii. Sc. 5. + +Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day +Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain-tops. + + +Act iv. Sc. 2. + +Not stopping o'er the bounds of modesty. + + +Act v. Sc. I. + +My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne. + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +A beggarly account of empty boxes. + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +My poverty, but not my will, consents. + + +Act v.

Sc. 1. + +In the most high and palmy state of Rome, +A little ere the mightiest Julius fell, +The graves stood tenantless, and the sheeted dead +Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets. + + +Act i. Sc. 1. + +And then it started like a guilty thing +Upon a fearful summons. + + +Act i. Sc. 1. + +Some say, that ever 'gainst that season comes +Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, +This bird of dawning singeth all night long. +And then they say no spirit dares stir abroad, +The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike, +No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, +So hallowed and so gracious is the time. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +The head is not more native to the heart. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +A little more than kin, and less than kind. + + +Act i, Sc. 2. + +Seems, madam! nay, it is; I know not seems + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +But I have that within which passeth show; +These, but the trappings and the suits of woe. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +O that this too, too solid flesh would melt, +Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew! +Or that the Everlasting had not fixed +His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God! +How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable +Seem to me all the uses of this world! + + * * * * * + +That it should come to this! +Hyperion to a satyr! so loving to my mother, +That he might not beteem the winds of heaven +Visit her face too roughly. + + * * * * * + +Why, she would hang on him, +As if increase of appetite had grown +By what it fed on. + + * * * * * + +Frailty, thy name is woman! +A little month. + + * * * * * + +Like Niobe, all tears. + + * * * * * + +My father's brother; but no more like my father +Than I to Hercules. + + +Act i.

Sc. 3. + +And in the morn and liquid dew of youth. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. +The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried +Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel. + + * * * * * + +Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice. +Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, +But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy; +For the apparel oft proclaims the man. + + * * * * * + +Neither a borrower nor a lender be. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +Springes to catch woodcocks. + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +But to my mind--though I am native here, +And to the manner born--it is a custom +More honored in the breach than the observance. + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +Angels and ministers of grace, defend us! + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, +That I will speak to thee. + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +Let me not burst in ignorance! + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +I do not set my life at a pin's fee. + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word +Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy young blood; +Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres; +Thy knotted and combined locks to part, +And each particular hair to stand on end, +Like quills upon the fretful Porcupine. + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +O my prophetic soul! my uncle! + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there! + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +No reckoning made, but sent to my account +With all my imperfections on my head. + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +The glowworm shows the matin to be near +And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire. + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave, +To tell us this. + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, +Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +The time is out of joint. + + +Act ii. Sc. 1. + +This is the very ecstasy of love. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Brevity is the soul of wit. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +That he is mad, 'tis true; 'tis true, 'tis pity; +And pity 'tis, 'tis true. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Doubt thou the stars are tire; +Doubt that the sun doth move; +Doubt truth to be a liar; +But never doubt I love. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2, + +Still harping on my daughter. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Though this be madness, yet there's method in it. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in +faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action, +how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a God! + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Man delights not me--nor woman neither. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +I know a hawk from a hand-saw. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Come, give us a taste of your quality. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +'Twas caviare to the general. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba? + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +The play's the thing, +Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king. + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +To be, or not to be? that is the question: +Whether 'tis nobler in the mind, to suffer +The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, +Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, +And, by opposing, end them?--To die--to sleep-- +No more--and, by a sleep, to say we end +The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks +That flesh is heir to--'tis a consummation +Devoutly to be wished. To die--to sleep-- +To sleep! perchance, to dream--ay, there's the rub; +For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, +When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, +Must give us pause. + + * * * * * + +The spurns +That patient merit of the unworthy takes; +When he himself might his quietus make +With a bare bodkin. Who would fardels bear, +To grunt and sweat under a weary life, +But that the dread of something after death-- +The undiscovered country, from whose bourne +No traveler returns--puzzles the will, +And makes us rather bear those ills we have, +Than fly to others that we know not of? +Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, +And thus the native hue of resolution +Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought. + + * * * * * + +Nymph, in thy orisons +Be all my sins remembered. + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, +thon shalt not escape calumny. + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +The glass of fashion, and the mould of form, +The observed of all observers! + + +Act iii. Sc. X. + +Now see that noble and most sovereign reason, +Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +It out-herods Herod. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Suit the action to the word, the word to the action. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +To hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +I have thought some of nature's journeymen had made men, and not made +them well, they imitated humanity so abominably. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp; +And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, +Where thrift may follow fawning. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Give me that man +That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him +In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of hearts, +As I do thee. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Something too much of this. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Here's metal more attractive. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +The lady doth protest too much, methinks. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Let the galled jade wince, our withers are un-wrung. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Why, let the strucken deer go weep, +The hart ungalled play; +For some must watch, while some must sleep; +Thus runs the world away. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +It will discourse most eloquent music. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Very like a whale. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +They fool me to the top of my bent. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +'Tis now the very witching time of night, +When churchyards yawn, and hell itself breathes out +Contagion to this world. + + +Act iii. Sc. 3. + +O my offence is rank, it smells to heaven + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +Look here, upon this picture, and on this; +The counterfeit presentment of two brothers. +See what a grace was seated on this brow! +Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself; +An eye like Mars, to threaten and command. +A combination, and a form, indeed, +Where every god did seem to set his seal, +To give the world assurance of a man. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +A king Of shreds and patches. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +This is the very coinage of your brain. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +Lay not that flattering unction to your soul. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +Assume a virtue, if you have it not. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +For 'tis the sport to have the engineer +Hoist with his own petard. + + +Act iv. Sc. 5. + +When sorrows come, they come not single spies, +But in battalions! + + +Act iv. Sc. 5. + +There's such divinity doth hedge a king, +That treason can but peep to what it would. + + +Act v.

I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest; of +most excellent fancy. + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of +merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +To what base uses we may return, Horatio! + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +Imperial Caesar, dead, and turned to clay, Might stop a hole to keep the +wind away. + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +Sir, though I am not splenetive and rash, Yet have I in me something +dangerous. + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +The cat will mew, and dog will have his day. + + +Act v. Sc. 2. + +There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will. + + +Act v. Sc. 2. + +There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. + + +Act v. Sc. 2. + +A hit, a very palpable hit. + + * * * * * + + +OTHELLO. + + +Act i. Sc. 1. + +But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve +For daws to peck at. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +Most potent, grave, and reverend seigniors. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +The very head and front of my offending +Hath this extent, no more. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +I will a round, unvarnished tale deliver +Of my whole course of love. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +Wherein I spoke of most disastrous chances, +Of moving accidents, by flood and field; +Of hair-breadth 'scapes i' the imminent deadly breach. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +My story being done +She gave me for my pains a world of signs: +She swore, In faith, 'twas strange, 'twas passing; strange; +'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful: +She wished she had not heard it; yet she +wished +That Heaven had made her such a man. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +Upon this hint I spake. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +I do perceive hero a divided duty. + + +Act ii. Sc. 1. + +For I am nothing, if not critical. + + +Act ii.

Sc. 3. + +Perdition catch my soul, +But I do love thee! and when I love thee not, +Chaos is come again. + + +Act iii. Sc. 3. + +Good name, in man and woman, dear my lord, +Is the immediate jewel of their souls. +Who steals my purse, steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; +'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; +But he that filches from me my good name +Robs roe of that which not enriches him, +And makes me poor indeed. + + +Act iii. Sc. 3. + +O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; +It is the green-eyed monster, which doth make +The meat it feeds on. + + +Act iii. Sc. 3. + +Trifles, light as air, +Are, to the jealous, confirmations strong +As proofs of holy writ. + + +Act iii.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/16732-h/images/001.jpg b/16732-h/images/001.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9531c85 --- /dev/null +++ b/16732-h/images/001.jpg diff --git a/16732.txt b/16732.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e35b8d1 --- /dev/null +++ b/16732.txt @@ -0,0 +1,16195 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Familiar Quotations, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Sc. 1. + +Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted? +Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just; +And he but naked, though locked up in steel, +Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted. + + +Act iii.

Sc. 6. + +Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; +The thief doth fear each bush an officer. + + +KING RICHARD III + + +Act i. Sc. 1. + +Now is the winter of our discontent +Made glorious summer by this sun of York; +And all the clouds that lowered upon our house, +In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. + + +Act i. Sc. 1. + +Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, +Deformed, unfinished, Bent before my time +Into this breathing world, scarce half made up. + + +Act i. Sc. 1. + +Why I, in this weak, piping time of peace, +Have no delight to pass away the time. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +To leave this keen encounter of our wits. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Was ever woman in this humor wooed? +Was ever woman in this humor won? + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +O, I have passed a miserable night, +So full of fearful dreams, of ugly sights, +That, as I am a Christian faithful man, +I would not spend another such a night, +Though 'twere to buy a world of happy days. + + +Act iv. Sc. 2. + +Thou troublest me; I am not in the vein. + + +Act iv. Sc. 4. + +Let not the heavens hear these telltale women +Hail on the Lord's anointed. + + +Act iv.

Sc. 3. + +Verily, +I swear, 'tis better to be lowly born, +And range with humble livers in content, +Than to be perked up in a glistering grief, +And wear a golden sorrow. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +And then to breakfast with +What appetite you have. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness! +This is the state of man. To-day he puts forth +The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms +And bears his blushing honors thick upon him. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +O how wretched +Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favors! +There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to +That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, +More pangs and fears than wars or women have; +And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, +Never to hope again. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Had I but served my God with half the zeal +I served my king, he would not in mine age +Have left me naked to mine enemies. + +Act iv.

Sc. 2. + +I cannot tell what you and other men +Think of this life; but for my single self, +I had as lief not be as live to be +In awe of such a thing as I myself. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Dar'st thou, Cassius, now +Leap in with me into this angry flood, +And swim to yonder point?--Upon the word, +Accoutred as I was, I plunged in, +And bade him follow. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Ye gods, it doth amaze me, +A man of such a feeble temper should +So get the start of the majestic world, +And bear the palm alone. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world, +Like a Colossus, and we petty men +Walk under his huge legs, and peep about +To find ourselves dishonorable graves. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Let me have men about me that are fat; +Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights; +Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look; +He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Seldom he smiles; and smiles in such a sort, +As if he mocked himself, and scorned his spirit, +That could be moved to smile at anything. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +But, for mine own part, it was Greek to me. + + +Act ii. Sc. 1. + +Between the acting of a dreadful thing +And the first motion, all the interim is +Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream. + + +Act ii. Sc. 1. + +Yon are my true and honorable wife, +As dear to me as the ruddy drops +That visit my sad heart. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Cowards die many times before their deaths; +The valiant never taste of death but once. + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +Though last, not least, in love. + + +Act iii.

Sc. 2. + +Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved +Rome more. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Who is here so base, that would be a bondman? +If any, speak: for him have I offended. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2.. + +The evil that men do lives after them; +The good is oft interred with their bones. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +For Brutus is an honorable man; +So are they all, all honorable men. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept; +Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +But yesterday, the word of Caesar might +Have stood against the world; now lies he there, +And none so poor to do him reverence. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +If you have years, prepare to shed them now. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +See, what a rent the envious Casca made! + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +This was the most unkindest cut of all. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Great Caesar fell. +O what a fall was there, my countrymen! + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Put a tongue +In every wound of Caesar, that should move +The stones of Borne to rise and mutiny. + + +Act iv. Sc. 2. + +There are no tricks in plain and simple faith. + + +Act iv. Sc. 3. + +I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, +Than such a Roman. + + +Act iv. Sc. 3. + +There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats +For I am armed so strong in honesty, +That they pass by me as the idle wind, +Which I respect not. + + +Act iv. Sc. 3. + +A friend should bear a friend's infirmities, +But Brutus makes mine greater than they are. + + +Act iv. Sc. 3. + +There is a tide in the affairs of men, +Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune: +Omitted, all the voyage of their life +Is bound in shallows, and in miseries. + + +Act v. Sc. 5. + +His life was gentle, and the elements +So mixed in him, that nature might stand up +And say to all the world, _This was a man_! + + * * * * * + + +ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA. + + +Act i.

Sc. 2. + +Tremble, thou wretch, +That hast within thee undivulged crimes, +Unwhipped of justice. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +I am a man +More sinned against than sinning. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +Poor naked wretches, wheresoe'er you are, +That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm, +How shall your houseless heads, and unfed sides, +Your looped and windowed raggedness, defend you +From seasons such as these? + + * * * * * + +Take physic, pomp; +Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel. + + +Act iii.

Sc. 2. + +Alack! there lies more peril in thine eye, +Than twenty of their swords. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +At lover's perjuries, +They say, Jove laughs. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +O swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, +That monthly changes in her circled orb, +Lest that thy love prove likewise variable. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Good-night, good-night! parting is such sweet sorrow, +That I shall say good-night till it be morrow. + + +Act ii. Sc. 3. + +Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears + +Act ii. Sc. 4. + +Stabbed with a white wench's black eye. + + +Act ii. Sc. 4. + +I am the very pink of courtesy. + + +Act ii.

No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; +but 'tis enough. + + +Act iii. Sc. 3. + +Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy + + +Act iii. Sc. 5. + +Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day +Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain-tops. + + +Act iv. Sc. 2. + +Not stopping o'er the bounds of modesty. + + +Act v. Sc. I. + +My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne. + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +A beggarly account of empty boxes. + + +Act v. Sc. 1. + +My poverty, but not my will, consents. + + +Act v.

Sc. 1. + +In the most high and palmy state of Rome, +A little ere the mightiest Julius fell, +The graves stood tenantless, and the sheeted dead +Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets. + + +Act i. Sc. 1. + +And then it started like a guilty thing +Upon a fearful summons. + + +Act i. Sc. 1. + +Some say, that ever 'gainst that season comes +Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, +This bird of dawning singeth all night long. +And then they say no spirit dares stir abroad, +The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike, +No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, +So hallowed and so gracious is the time. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +The head is not more native to the heart. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +A little more than kin, and less than kind. + + +Act i, Sc. 2. + +Seems, madam! nay, it is; I know not seems + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +But I have that within which passeth show; +These, but the trappings and the suits of woe. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +O that this too, too solid flesh would melt, +Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew! +Or that the Everlasting had not fixed +His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God! +How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable +Seem to me all the uses of this world! + + * * * * * + +That it should come to this! +Hyperion to a satyr! so loving to my mother, +That he might not beteem the winds of heaven +Visit her face too roughly. + + * * * * * + +Why, she would hang on him, +As if increase of appetite had grown +By what it fed on. + + * * * * * + +Frailty, thy name is woman! +A little month. + + * * * * * + +Like Niobe, all tears. + + * * * * * + +My father's brother; but no more like my father +Than I to Hercules. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral baked meats +Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +In my mind's eye, Horatio. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +He was a man, take him for all in all, +I shall not look upon his like again. + + +Act i. Sc. 2. + +A countenance more +In sorrow than in anger. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +And in the morn and liquid dew of youth. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. +The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried +Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel. + + * * * * * + +Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice. +Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, +But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy; +For the apparel oft proclaims the man. + + * * * * * + +Neither a borrower nor a lender be. + + +Act i. Sc. 3. + +Springes to catch woodcocks. + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +But to my mind--though I am native here, +And to the manner born--it is a custom +More honored in the breach than the observance. + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +Angels and ministers of grace, defend us! + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, +That I will speak to thee. + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +Let me not burst in ignorance! + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +I do not set my life at a pin's fee. + + +Act i. Sc. 4. + +Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word +Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy young blood; +Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres; +Thy knotted and combined locks to part, +And each particular hair to stand on end, +Like quills upon the fretful Porcupine. + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +O my prophetic soul! my uncle! + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there! + + +Act i. Sc. 5. + +No reckoning made, but sent to my account +With all my imperfections on my head. + + +Act i.

Sc. 1. + +This is the very ecstasy of love. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Brevity is the soul of wit. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +That he is mad, 'tis true; 'tis true, 'tis pity; +And pity 'tis, 'tis true. + + +Act ii.

Sc. 2. + +Though this be madness, yet there's method in it. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in +faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action, +how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a God! + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Man delights not me--nor woman neither. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +I know a hawk from a hand-saw. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +Come, give us a taste of your quality. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +'Twas caviare to the general. + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba? + + +Act ii. Sc. 2. + +The play's the thing, +Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king. + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +To be, or not to be? that is the question: +Whether 'tis nobler in the mind, to suffer +The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, +Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, +And, by opposing, end them?--To die--to sleep-- +No more--and, by a sleep, to say we end +The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks +That flesh is heir to--'tis a consummation +Devoutly to be wished. To die--to sleep-- +To sleep! perchance, to dream--ay, there's the rub; +For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, +When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, +Must give us pause. + + * * * * * + +The spurns +That patient merit of the unworthy takes; +When he himself might his quietus make +With a bare bodkin. Who would fardels bear, +To grunt and sweat under a weary life, +But that the dread of something after death-- +The undiscovered country, from whose bourne +No traveler returns--puzzles the will, +And makes us rather bear those ills we have, +Than fly to others that we know not of? +Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, +And thus the native hue of resolution +Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought. + + * * * * * + +Nymph, in thy orisons +Be all my sins remembered. + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, +thon shalt not escape calumny. + + +Act iii. Sc. 1. + +The glass of fashion, and the mould of form, +The observed of all observers! + + +Act iii. Sc. X. + +Now see that noble and most sovereign reason, +Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +It out-herods Herod. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Suit the action to the word, the word to the action. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +To hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature. + + +Act iii.

Sc. 2. + +No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp; +And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, +Where thrift may follow fawning. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Give me that man +That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him +In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of hearts, +As I do thee. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Something too much of this. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Here's metal more attractive. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +The lady doth protest too much, methinks. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Let the galled jade wince, our withers are un-wrung. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Why, let the strucken deer go weep, +The hart ungalled play; +For some must watch, while some must sleep; +Thus runs the world away. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +It will discourse most eloquent music. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +Very like a whale. + + +Act iii. Sc. 2. + +They fool me to the top of my bent. + + +Act iii.

Sc. 4. + +Look here, upon this picture, and on this; +The counterfeit presentment of two brothers. +See what a grace was seated on this brow! +Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself; +An eye like Mars, to threaten and command. +A combination, and a form, indeed, +Where every god did seem to set his seal, +To give the world assurance of a man. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +A king Of shreds and patches. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +This is the very coinage of your brain. + + +Act iii. Sc. 4. + +Lay not that flattering unction to your soul. + + +Act iii.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/16732.zip b/16732.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..01f15d1 --- /dev/null +++ b/16732.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
