Excerpt from Pearls of Shakespeare: A Collection of the Most Brillant Passages Found in His Plays

Contend for empire in thee; and thy goodness

Share with thy birthright! Love all, trust a few,

Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy

Rather in power, than use; and keep thy friend

Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,

But never tax'd for speech.

Too Ambitious Love.

I am undone; there is no living, none,

If Bertram be away. It were all one,

That I should love a bright particular star,

And think to wed it, he is so above me

In his bright radiance and collateral light

Must I be comforted, not in his sphere.

The ambition in my love thus plagues itself:

The hind that would be mated by the lion,

Must die for love. 'Twas pretty, though a plague.

To see him every hour; to sit and draw

His arched brows, his hawking eye, his curls,

In our hearts table; heart, too capable

Of every line and trick of his sweet favour:

But now hes gone, and my idolatrous fancy

Must sanctify his relics.

The Remedy Op Evils Generally In Ourselves

Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie.

Which we ascribe to Heaven: the fated sky

Gives us free scope; only, doth backward pull

Our slow designs, when we ourselves are dull.

Life Chequered.

The web of. our life is of a mingled yam, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not! and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our virtues.
