Be monster not thy feature
As mad as the vexed sea and singing aloud, crowned with rank furmiture
and furrow weeds
When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools
Lears shadow
Speak what we feel not what we aught to say
And my poor fool is hanged
Look on her: look, her lips, look there, look there!
Some good I mean to do despite mine own nature
I was contracted the them both: all three now marry in an instance
But his flawed heart…twixt thhe extremes of passion…burst smilingly
The wheel is come for circle, I am here
Jesters do oft prove prophet
We two alone will sing like birds I’the cage
We are not the first who with best meaning have incurred the worst
Ihad rather lose the battle than that sister should loosen him and me
Forget and forgive; I am old and foolish
Child changed father
A serviceable villain
That thou hast power to shake my manhood thus
