William Shakespeare Quotes

Had It Pleased Heaven
To Try Me With Affliction; Had They Rain'd
All Kinds Of Sores And Shames On My Bare Head.
Steep'd Me In Poverty To The Very Lips,
Given To Captivity Me And My Utmost Hopes,
I Should Have Found In Some Place Of My Soul
A Drop Of Patience: But, Alas, To Make Me
A Fixed Figure For The Time Of Scorn
To Point His Slow Unmoving Finger At!
Yet Could I Bear That Too; Well, Very Well:
But There, Where I Have Garner'd Up My Heart,
Where Either I Must Live, Or Bear No Life;
The Fountain From The Which My Current Runs,
Or Else Dries Up; To Be Discarded Thence!
Or Keep It As A Cistern For Foul Toads
To Knot And Gender In! Turn Thy Complexion There,
Patience, Thou Young And Rose-lipp'd Cherubin,
Ay, There, Look Grim As Hell!
