Much Ado: Benedick: Think not on him till to-morrow: I'll devise thee brave punishments for him --Strike up, pipers!

Merchant of Venice: Gratiano: Well, while I live I'll fear no other thing so sore as keeping safe Nerissa's ring.
All's Well: King: Your gentle hands lend us, and take our hearts.
Merry Wives: Ford: Sir John, To Master Brook you yet shall hold your word; for he to-night shall lie with Mistress Ford.
Measure: Duke: So, bring us to our palace; where we'll show what's yet behind, that's meet you should know. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |
