Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral bak'd meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin's fee.
By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me.
To take arms against a sea of troubles.
For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ.
But to my mind, though I am native here, And to the manner born, it is a custom, More honored in the breach than the observance.
Angels and ministers of grace defend us.
I must be cruel only to be kind; Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.
There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.
Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world.
