2.
As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion
bequeathed me by will but poor a thousand crowns,
and, as thou sayest, charged my brother, on his
blessing, to breed me well: and there begins my
sadness.
As You Like It
Boatswain!
The Tempest
Escalus.
Measure for Measure
Gregory, o' my word, we'll not carry coals.
Romeo and Juliet
Hence! home, you idle creatures get you home:
Julius Caesar
If music be the food of love, play on;
Twelfth Night
In delivering my son from me, I bury a second husband.
Alls Well that Ends Well
I learn in this letter that Don Peter of Arragon
comes this night to Messina.
Much Ado About Nothing
In sooth, I know not why I am so sad:
It wearies me; you say it wearies you;
The Merchant of Venice
I thought the king had more affected the Duke of
Albany than Cornwall.
King Lear
Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,
Live register'd upon our brazen tombs
And then grace us in the disgrace of death;
Love's Labours Lost
My lord, I'll tell you; that self bill is urged,
Which in the eleventh year of the last king's reign
Was like, and had indeed against us pass'd,
But that the scambling and unquiet time
Did push it out of farther question.
Henry V
Nay, but this dotage of our general's
O'erflows the measure:
Anthony and Cleopatra
Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour
Draws on apace;
MidSummer's Night Dream
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
Richard III
Proceed, Solinus, to procure my fall
And by the doom of death end woes and all.
The Comedy of Errors
Sir Hugh, persuade me not; I will make a Star-
chamber matter of it: if he were twenty [character's name
deleted]s,
he shall not abuse Robert Shallow, esquire.
Merry Wives of Windsor
Tranio, since for the great desire I had
To see fair Padua, nursery of arts,
I am arrived for fruitful Lombardy,
The pleasant garden of great Italy;
And by my father's love and leave am arm'd
With his good will and thy good company,
My trusty servant, well approved in all,
Here let us breathe and haply institute
A course of learning and ingenious studies.
The Taming of the Shrew
Tush! never tell me; I take it much unkindly
That thou, [character's name deleted], who hast had my purse
As if the strings were thine, shouldst know of this.
Othello
When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
MacBeth
Who's there?
Hamlet
