Tis not the many oaths that make the truth; But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true.
Men's vows are women's traitors
Assure thee, if I do vow a friendship, I'll perform it to the last article." --Othello, Act III, Scene iii
Hath Romeo slain himself? Say thou but ay, And that bare vowel ay shall poison more Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice. I am not I,if there be such an ay, Or those eyes shut,that make thee answer ay: If he be slain say ay,or if not,no: Brief sounds,determine of my weal or woe.
