King Henry V - Act 3 Scene 1


210. King Henry V

 

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead --
In peace, there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness, and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood, --

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining from the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and upon this charge,
Cry, 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!"

  

Romeo and Juliet- Act 1 Scene 5


211. Romeo and Juliet

The Hall in Capulet's House. All the guests, masquers, musicians waiting
--- Romeo (takes Juliet's hand)

 

If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy schrine, the gentle sin is this;
My lips, tow blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

  

A Midsummer-Night's Dream - Act 2 Scene 1


212. Titania and Bottom

  Oberon to Puck -  
    'And maidens call it Love - in - idleness.
Fetch me that flower, --- The juice of it, on sleeping eyelids laid,
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees. ---
I'll watch Titania when she is asleep
And drop the liquor of it in her eyes:
The next thing then she waking looks upon -
Be it on lion, or wolf, or bull --
She shall pursue it with the soul of love.		  
  Titania to Bottom -  
   

Come, sit thee down upon this flow'ry bed,
While I thy amiable cheeks do coy,
And stick musk - roses in thy sleek smooth head,
And kiss thy large ears, my gentle joy.

  

Macbeth - Act 3 Scene 2


213. Macbeth

  Macbeth  
    Duncan is in his grave;
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well;
Treason has done his worst: nor steel, nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing,
Can touch him further.		  
  Lady Macbeth  
   

Come on;
Gentle my lord, sleek o'er your rugged looks,
Be bright and jovial among your guests to-night.

  

King Henry V


214. King Henry V

Before the Battle of Agincourt.
King Henry talking to his soldiers in the night.

 

I think the King is but a man, as I am: the violet smells to him as it doth to me;
--- all his senses have but human conditions: his ceremonies laid by, in his nakedness he appears but a man; --- when he sees reason of fears, as we do, his fears. out of doubt, be of the same relish as we do ---
no man should possess him with any appearance of fear, lest he, by showing it, should dishearten his army.
