Mark it, Cesario; it is old and plain;
The spinsters and the knitters in the sun,
And the free maids that weave their thread with bones,
Do use to chant it; it is silly sooth,
And dallies with the innocence of love,
Like the old age.
(Twelfth Night)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Let me twineMine arms about that body, where against
My grained ash an hundred times hath broke
And scarr'd the moon with splinters; here I clip
The anvil of my sword, and do contest
As hotly and as nobly with thy love
As ever in ambitious strength I did
Contend against thy valour.
William Shakespeare
By their rank thoughts, my deeds must not be shown,
Unless this general evil they maintain:
All men are bad, and in their badness reign.
William Shakespeare
Faith, he tonight hath boarded a land carack;
If it prove lawful prize, he's made forever.
William Shakespeare
Be wise, and get you home.
William Shakespeare
So is the time that keeps you as my chest,
Or as the wardrobe which the robe doth hide,
To make some special instant special-blest
By new unfolding his imprisoned pride.
William Shakespeare
My liege, and madam, to expostulate
What majesty should be, what duty is,
Why day is day, night is night, and time is time.
William Shakespeare
