William Shakespeare
Teach me, dear...
Teach me, dear creature, how to think and speak;
Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit,
Smother'd in errors,...
I cannot, nor...
I cannot, nor I will not, hold me still;
My tongue, though not my heart, shall have his...
Against my soul's...

And now let's go hand in hand, not one before...

This world to me is like a lasting storm,
Whirring me from my friends.

Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just,
And he but...
Could I come...
Could I come near your beauty with my nails
I'd set my ten commandments in your face.
Forbear to judge,...
Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.

To shepherds looking on their silly sheep,

O God! methinks...
O God! methinks it were a happy life,
To be no better than a homely swain;
To sit upon a hill, as I do...
Stay we no...
Stay we no longer, dreaming of renown,
But sound the trumpets, and about our task.
A little fire...
