O heavens, can you hear a good man groan,
And not relent, or not compassion him?
- Titus Andronicus (IV, 1)

We must awake endeavour for defence;
For courage mounteth with occasion ... "

The powers, delaying, not forgetting, have
Incensed the seas and shores, yea, all the creatures,
Against your peace.

Ere you can take due orders for a priest:
Say you consent and censure well the deed,
And I'll provide his executioner,
I tender so the safety of my liege.

Pour the sweet milk of concord into Hell,
Uproar the universal peace, confound
All unity on Earth."

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.
-Shakespeare

But couch,
ho! here he comes, to beguile two hours in a sleep,
and then to return and swear the lies he forges.

"Here feel we but the penalty of Adam,
The seasons' difference, as the icy fang
And churlish chiding of the winter's wind,
Which, when it bites and blows upon my body,
Even till I shrink with cold, I smile."
- William Shakespeare, "As You Like It" (Act 2, Scene 1)
