When proud pied April, dressed in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing,
That heavy Saturn laughed and leapt with him
Love, whose month is ever May,
Spied a blossom passing fair
Playing in the wanton air:…

And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer"

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date

As oft 'twixt May and April is to see,
When winds breathe sweet, untidy though they be."

"The ample proposition that hope makes
In all designs begun on earth below
Fails in the promised largeness: cheques and disasters
Grow in the veins of actions highest rear'd,
As knots, by the conflux of meeting sap,
Infect the sound pine and divert his grain
Tortive and errant from his course of growth."
(Troilus and Cressida)
"Th’expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in actin, and till action, lust
Is perjured, murd’rous, bloody, full of shame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
Enjoyed no sooner but despised straight,
Past reason hunted, and no sooner had,
Past reason hated, as a swallowed bait,
On purpose laid to make the taker mad.
Mad in pursuit and in possession so,
Had, having and in quest, to have extreme,
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe
Before a joy proposed behind a dream.
All this the world well knows yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell"
(Sonnets)
"I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die"

And every tongue brings in a several tale,
And every tale condemns me for a villain"
