Shakespeer quote with the word sting6/27/2023 ![]() The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest. ’Sblood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat’s tongue, you bull’s pizzle, you stockfish! O, for breath to utter what is like thee! You tailor’s-yard, you sheath, you bowcase, you vile standing tuck. There’s no more faith in thee than in a stewed prune. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,Īnd therefore is wing’d Cupid painted blind.Ī Midsummer Night’s Dream (Act I, Scene 1) Read in this light Juliet’s final words are both tragic, and dramatic innuendo. One on ‘sheath’ the Latin word for a vagina and again using the Elizabethan slang for orgasm, ‘die’. Most Shakespeare readers agree that Juliet’s line as she stabs herself involves two puns. The Taming of the Shrew (Act II, Scene 1) This is thy sheath There rust and let me die. If I be waspish, best beware of my sting. This above all: to thine own self be true,Īnd it must follow, as the night the day,Īnd though she be but little, she is fierce.Ī Midsummer Night’s Dream (Act III, Scene 2) The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,īut in ourselves, that we are underlings. Men at some time are masters of their fates: Hell is empty and all the devils are here. So peruse this list with your eyeballs and prepare to be bedazzled! In honor of Will’s birthday, Writer’s Relief has created a list of our favorite lines from Shakespeare-including one very unique stage direction. He also invented many words we still use today: bedazzled, dishearten, eventful, manager, and eyeball are just a few. Huzzah, lords and ladies! William Shakespeare was born in April 1564, so this is the perfect time to celebrate all the wonderful plays and poems he wrote.
