O, that this too too solid flesh would melt, thaw and resolve itself into a dew! Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!

How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed.

O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I! Is it not monstrous that this player here, but in a fiction, in a dream of passion,
  • could force his soul so to his own conceit
  • that from her working all his visage wann'd,
  • tears in his eyes, distraction in's aspect,
  • a broken voice, and his whole function suiting
with forms to his conceit? and all for nothing! For Hecuba! What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba, that he should weep for her? What would he do had he the motive and the cue for passion that I have?

06/08 There's fennel for you, and columbines: there's rue for you; and here's some for me: we may call it herb-grace o' Sundays.
05/14 O you must wear your rue with a difference.
04/23 There's a daisy: I would give you some violets, but they withered all when my father died.
