Oh eyes, no eyes, but fountains fraught with tears;
Oh life, no life, but lively form of death;
Oh world, no world, but mass of public wrongs,
Confused and filled with murder and misdeeds.

The Spanish Tragedy (1592)
For what's a play without a woman in it?
The Spanish Tragedy (1592)

And chill my throbbing heart with trembling fear.

Where words prevail not, violence prevails
But gold doth more than either of them both.

That know not how to remedy our own.
The Spanish Tragedy (1592)
In time the savage bull sustains the yoke,
In time all haggard hawks will stoop to lure,
In time small wedges cleave the hardest oak,
In time the flint is pierced with softest shower.
The Spanish Tragedy (1592)

Within a pair of minutes, thereabout:
A lump bred up in darkness.

Duly twice a morning
Would I be sprinkling it with fountain-water.
At last it grew, and grew, and bore, and bore,
Till at the length
It grew a gallows, and did bear our son,
It bore thy fruit and mine: O wicked, wicked plant.
Misattributed
