Thy heart is big; get thee apart and weep. Passion, I see, is catching; for mine eyes, Seeing those beads of sorrow stand in thine, Begin to water. - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar (Antony at III, ii) And as the butcher takes away the calf And binds the wretch and beats it when it strains, Bearing it to the bloody slaughterhouse, Even so remorseless have they borne him hence; And as the dam runs lowing up and down, Looking the way her harmless young one went, And can do naught but wail her darling's loss, Even so myself bewails good Gloucester's case With said unhelpful tears, and with dimmed eyes Look after him and cannot do him good, So mighty are his vowed enemies. His fortunes I will weep, and 'twixt each groan Say 'Who's a traitor? Gloucester he is none.' - William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth, Part II (King Henry at III, i) I cannot weep, for all my body's moisture Scarce serves to quench my furnace-burning heart; Nor can my tongue unload my heart's great burden, For selfsame wind that I should speak withal Is kindling coals that fires all my breast And burns me up with flames that tears would quench. - William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth, Part III (Richard, Duke of Gloucester at II, i) See, see what show'rs arise, Blown with windy tempest of my heart Upon thy wounds, that kills mine eye and heart. - William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth, Part III (Father at II, v) Lords, knights and gentlemen, what I should say My tears gainsay; for every word I speak, Ye see I drink the water of my eye. - William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth, Part III (Queen Margaret at V, iv) You think I'll weep.
