“Even now, now, very now, an old black ram
Is tupping your white ewe. Arise, arise;
Awake the snorting citizens with the bell,
Or else the devil will make a grandsire of you.
Arise I say!”
“O thou dull Moor! that handkerchief thou speak'st of
I found by fortune and did give my husband;
For often, with a solemn earnestness,
More than indeed belong'd to such a trifle,
He begg'd of me to steal it.”
“Her father loved me; oft invited me;
Still question’d me the story of my life,
From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes,
That I have passed.
I ran it through, even from my boyish days,
To the very moment that he bade me tell it.”
“Put money in thy purse.”
“Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the
immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.”

“O curse of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures ours,
And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
And live upon the vapour of a dungeon,
Than keep a corner in the thing I love
For others’ uses.”
“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.”
” Speak to me as to thy thinkings,
As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst of thoughts
The worst of words.”
"I am not what I am."

.
“…Fortinbras of Norway,
Theretopricked on by a most emulate pride,
Dared to combat; in which our most valiant Hamlet
Did slay this Fortinbras, who by a sealed compact
Well ratified by law and heraldry
Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands
Which he stood seized of to the conqueror.”
“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?”
“This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night day
Thou canst not be false to any man. “
“What an ass am I! This is most brave
that I, the son of a dear father murdered,
Prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell,
Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words
And fall a-cursing like a very drab,
A scullion!”
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.
Then up he rose and donned his clothes,
And dupped the chamber door,
Let in the maid, that out a maid,
Never departed more .
