Shakespeare

Macbeth
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing

Othello
O balmy breath, that dost almost persuade
Justice to break her sword!  One more, One more!
Be thus when thou art dead, and I will kill thee,
And love thee after.  One more, and this the last!
So sweet was ne'er so fatal.  I must weep,
But they are cruel tears.  This sorrow's heavenly,
It strikes where it doth love.  She wakes

Hamlet
This above all:  to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man

Romeo and Juliet
Oh Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name!
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

But, soft!  what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the Sun!

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow
