Quotations from Shakespeare By Starfall. |
An illustration of Shakespeare. He puts on a puppet show with two marionettes. |
A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse! | A silly king, dressed in shiny armor. A boy with a horse. The king offers the boy a coin. The boy shakes his head no. The king offers a chest of coins. The boy refuses again. The king finally offers his own crown. The boy accepts and gives the king his horse. |
Better three hours too soon than a minute too late! | The king gallops along. |
Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast. | The silly king and horse stumble. |
The purest spring is not so free from mud. | The horse drinks and splashes mud on the king's face. |
What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet. | The king picks a rose and offers it to his horse. The horse hugs the king. |
They do not love that do not show their love. | The king climbs up a tower with a rose for the queen. A dragon follows him. |
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. | The king on his knee, gives a rose to the queen. His helmet visor falls over his face. |
I am constant as the northern star. | A star rises in the sky. The queen throws kisses and releases hearts. |
Goodnight, goodnight. Parting is such sweet sorrow. | The silly king gets on his horse backwards and rides off. |
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. | Shakespeare is pictured again as a puppeteer. His marionettes are the king and queen. |
