“But grieve not, while thou stayest,
My last disastrous times:
Think we have had a clear and glorious day
And Heaven did kindly to delay the storm,
Just till our close of evening.”
― John Dryden, All for Love

“Poor queen, so that thy state might be no worse,
I would my skill were subject to thy curse.
Here she did fall a tear; here in this place
I'll set a bank of rue, sour herb of grace.
Rue, even for ruth, here shortly shall be seen,
In the remembrance of a weeping queen.”
― William Shakespeare, Richard II

“Could not all this flesh
Keep in a little life?”
― William Shakespeare, King Henry IV, Part 1

“Think you there was or might be such a man
As this I dreamt of?”
― William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra
