Come what come may,
Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.
All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand.
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.
Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand?
I dare do all that may become a man:
Who dares do more, is none.
Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o' the milk of human kindness.
There's no art
To find the mind's construction in the face.
There's husbandry in heaven;
Their candles are all out.
There shall be done
A deed of dreadful note.
The night is long that never finds the day.
Safe in a ditch he bides,
With twenty trenched gashes on his head;
The least a death to nature.
Away, and mock the time with fairest show;
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
To that dauntless temper of his mind,
He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valour
To act in safety.
What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?
Stones have been known to move and trees to speak.
The devil damn thee black, thou cream-faced loon!
We have scotch'd the snake, not killed it.
