“Watch out he's winding the watch of his wit, by and by it will strike.”

“I wasted time, and now doth time waste me; For now hath time made me his numbering clock: My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch, Whereto my finger, like a dial's point, Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears. Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart, Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans Show minutes, times, and hours.”

“You are such a woman! A man knows not at what ward youlie.CRESSIDAUpon my back, to defend my belly; upon my wit, to defendmy wiles; upon my secrecy, to defend mine honesty; my mask, todefend my beauty; and you, to defend all these; and at all thesewards I lie at, at a thousand watches.PANDARUSSay one of your watches.CRESSIDANay, I'll watch you for that; and that's one of thechiefest of them too. If I cannot ward what I would not have hit,I can watch you for telling how I took the blow; unless it swellpast hiding, and then it's past watching.”

“Care keeps his watch in every old man’s eye,And where care lodges, sleep will never lie.”

“For some must watch, while some must sleep So runs the world away”

“Shame to him whose cruel striking, kills for thoughts of his own liking.”

“Make the doors upon a woman's wit,and it will out at the casement;shut that, and 'twill out at the key-hole;stop that, 'twill fly with the smoke out at the chimney.”
