“What need the bridge much broader than the flood? The fairest grant is the necessity.”

“Away and mark the time with fairest show,False face must hide what false heart dothknow.”

“Who makes the fairest show means the most deceit.”

“I am settled, and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat. Away, and mock the time with fairest show: False face must hide what the false heart doth know.”

“O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars Are in the poorest thing superfluous. Allow not nature more than nature needs, Man's life is cheap as beast's. Thou art a lady: If only to go warm were gorgeous, Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear'st Which scarcely keeps thee warm. But, for true need- You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!”

“The art of our necessities is strangeThat can make vile things precious.”

“O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note,to drown me in thy sister’s flood of tears.”
