Sometime we see a cloud that's dragonish; A vapour sometime like a bear or lion, A towered citadel, a pendant rock, A forked mountain, or blue promontory With trees upon't that nod unto the world, And mock our eyes with air. Thou hast seen these signs; They are black Vesper's pageants. - Antony and Cleopatra (Antony at IV, xiv) [Symbols] Good sirs, take heart: We'll bury him; and, then, what's brave, what's noble, Let's do't after the high Roman fashion, And make death proud to take us. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at IV, xv) [Bravery] I am dying, Egypt, dying. - Antony and Cleopatra (Antony at IV, xv) [Egypt] Bravest at the last, She levelled at our purposes, and being royal, Took her own way. - Antony and Cleopatra (Octavius Caesar at V, ii) [Suicide] For his bounty, There was no winter in't: An autumn 'twas That grew the more by reaping: his delights Were dolphin-like, thy showed his back above The element they lived in: in his livery Walked crowns and crownets: realms and islands were As plates dropped from his pocket. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at V, ii) [Benevolence : Philanthropy] Give me my robe, put on my crown, I have Immortal longings in me. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at V, ii) [Desire] His legs bestrid the ocean: his reared arm Crested the world: his voice was propertied As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends; But when he meant to quail and shake the orb, He was as rattling thunder. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at V, ii) [Royalty] My desolation does begin to make A better life. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at V, ii) [Desolation : Reform] My resolution's placed, and I have nothing Of woman in me: now from head to foot I am marble-constant: now the fleeting moon No planet is of mine. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at V, ii) [Constancy : Resolution] Our army shall In solemn show attend this funeral, And then to Rome. Come, Dolabella, see High order in this great solemnity. - Antony and Cleopatra (Caesar at V, ii) [Books (Last Lines)] Prithee go hence, Or I shall show the cinders of my spirits Through th' ashes of my chance. - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at V, ii) [Chance] Shall they hoist me up And show me to the shouting varletry Of censuring Rome? Rather a ditch in Egypt Be gentle grave unto me! Rather on Nilus' mud Lay me stark-nak'd and let the waterflies Blow me into abhorring! Rather make My country's high pyramides my gibbet And hang me up in chains! - Antony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra at V, ii) [Conquest] O, what a world is this, when what is comely, Envenoms him that bears it! - As You Like It [World] If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue. - As You Like It (Rosalind at epilogue) [Acting] As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion bequeathed me by will but poor a thousand crowns, and, as thou say'st, charged my brother on his blessing to breed me well: and there begins my sadness. - As You Like It (Orlando at I, i) [Books (First Lines)] (Celia:) Here come Monsieur Le Beau.
