Letter "W" » William Shakespeare
"I love a ballad but even too well if it be doleful matter merrily
set down, or a very pleasant thing indeed and sung lamentably."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Ballads
"Therefore doth heaven divide
The state of man in divers functions,
Setting endeavor in continual motion;
To which is fixed as an aim or butt
Obedience; for so work the honeybees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
They have a king, and officers of sorts,
Where some like magistrates correct at home,
Others like merchants venture trade abroad,
Others like soldiers armed in their stings
Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds,
Which pillage they with merry march bring home
To the tent-royal of their emperor,
Who, busied in his majesties, surveys
The singing masons building roofs of gold,
The civil citizens kneading up the honey,
The poor mechanic porters crowding in
Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate,
The sad-eyed justice with his surly hum
Delivering o'er to executors pale
The lazy yawning drone."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Bees
"To apprehend thus
Draws us a profit from all things we see,
And often, to our comfort, shall we find
The sharded beetle in a safer hold
Than is the full-winged eagle."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Beetles
"The sense of death is most in apprehension,
And the poor beetle that we tread upon
In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
As when a giant dies."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Beetles
"The sense of death is most in apprehension."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Beetles
"Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you; and
sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Beggary
"It needs not nor it boots thee not, proud queen,
Unless the adage must be verified,
That beggars mounted run their horse to death."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Beggary
"Not that I have the power to clutch my hand
When his fair angels would salute by palm,
But for my hand, as unattempted yet,
Like a poor beggar, raileth on the rich.
Well, whiles I am a beggar, I will rail
And say there is no sin but to be rich;
And being rich, my virtue then shall be
To say there is no vice but beggary."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Beggary
"I see, sir, you are liberal in offers.
You taught me first to beg, and now methinks
You teach me how a beggar should be answered."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Beggary
