4. Juliet:
'Tis almost morning, I would have thee gone—
And yet no farther than a wan-ton's bird,
That lets it hop a little from his hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
And with a silken thread plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of his liberty.
Romeo:
I would I were thy bird.
Juliet:
Sweet, so would I,
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet
sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow. [Exit

Romeo And Juliet Act 2, scene 2, 176–185 End

5. Hamlet:
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
Hamlet Act 3, scene 1, 55–68 [Italics mine]

6. Othello:
One more, one more.
Be thus when thou art dead, and I will kill
thee
And love thee after. One more, and that's
the last.
So sweet was ne'er so fatal. I must weep,
But they are cruel tears. This sorrow's
heavenly,
It strikes where it doth love.
Othello Act 5, scene 2, 17–22
End

7. Lady Macbeth:
Why did you bring these daggers from the
place?
They must lie there. Go carry them, and smear
The sleepy grooms with blood.
Macbeth:
I'll go no more.
I am afraid to think what I have done;
Look on't again I dare not.
Lady Macbeth:
Infirm of purpose!
Give me the daggers. The sleeping and the
dead
Are but as pictures; 'tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil. End
Macbeth Act 2, scene 2, 45–52

8. Helena:
quot;Love looks not with the eyes but with the
mind.quot;
A Midsummer Night's Dream (I, i, 234)
Helena:
quot;We should be woo'd and were not made to
woo.quot;
A Midsummer Night's Dream (II, i, 242)

9. All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely
players;
They have their exits and their
entrances,
And one man in his time plays many
parts,
His acts being seven ages.
As You Like It Act 2, scene 7, 139–143 End

10. PET:
You lie, in faith; for you are call'd plain Kate,
And bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the
curst;
But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom,
Kate of Kate-hall, my super-dainty Kate,
For dainties are all Kates, and therefore,
Kate,(190)
Take this of me, Kate of my consolation;
Hearing thy mildness praised in every town,
Thy virtues spoke of, and thy beauty
sounded,
Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs,
Myself am moved to woo thee for my
wife.(195)
KAT:
Moved! in good time: let him that moved you
hither
Remove you hence: I knew you at the first
You were a moveable.
Taming of the Shrew (II, i, 190)
