“For you and I are past our dancing days”

“You have dancing shoes with nimble soles. I have a soul of lead.”

“When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that.”

“A miracle. Here's our own hands against our hearts. Come, I will have thee, but by this light I take thee for pity. Beatrice: I would not deny you, but by this good day, I yield upon great persuasion, and partly to save your life, for I was told you were in a consumption. Benedick: Peace. I will stop your mouth.”

“There was a star danced, and under that was I born.”

“And to be merry best becomes you; for, out of question, you were born ina merry hour.No, sure, my lord, my mother cried; but then therewas a star danced, and under that was I born.”

“Strike up our drums! Pursue the scatter'd stray.God, and not we, hath safely fought to day.”
