Happier the man, whom favourable stars
Allot thee for his lovely bed-fellow!

The Taming of the Shrew
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which welcome we'll accept; feast here awhile,
Until our stars that frown lend us a smile.

Pericles, Prince of Tyre
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stars above us, govern our conditions.

King Lear
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it even so? Then I defy you, stars!

Romeo and Juliet

With an aspect more favourable.

The Winter's Tale
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where mortal stars, as bright as heaven's beauties,
But little stars may hide them when they list.
And little stars shot from their fixed places,
Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck;
And, constant stars, in them I read such art
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
Let those who are in favour with their stars
When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.
Co-supremes and stars of love,
Like stars ashamed of day, themselves withdrew;

Julius Caesar
------------------------------------------------------------------------

on to fortune.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

Julius Caesar

When beggars die there are no comets seen; the heavens themselves
blaze
forth the death of princes.

Julius Caesar

Who, being as I am, littered under Mercury was likewise a
snapper-up of
ill-considered trifles.

A Winter's Tale
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I find my Zenith doth depend upon
A most auspicious star: whose influence,
If now I court not, but omit, my fortunes
Will ever after droop.

The Tempest
------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I am constant as the Nothern Star,
Of whose true and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.

Julius Ceasar
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturn and Venus this year in conjunction! What says the almanac to
that?

Henry IV
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helena: Monsieur Parolles, You were bornunder a charitable star.

Parolles: Why under Mars?
Helena: The wars have so kept you under, that you needs be born under Mars.
Parolles: When he was predominant?
Helena: When he was retrogdade, I think, rather.

All's Well That Ends Well.
