All that glitters is not gold.
I see two husbands, or mine eyes deceive me. " The Duke himself, and all the lords of Ephesus, are here to see the comedy." " Am I in earth, in heaven, or in hell?" " I am an ass, I am an ass!" " No man is an island, entire of itself." " I see two husbands, or mine own eyes deceive me." " The course of true love never did run smooth." " I am an ass!" " The time is out of joint; O cursed spite!" There’s none but witches do inhabit here. Time is a very deceptive thing. " I see two husbands, or mine eyes deceive me." " There's none but witches do inhabit here." “ The Duke himself, and all the lords of Ephesus, are here to see the strange event.” “ To me she speaks, she moves me for her theme.” “ I am an ass, I am an ass.” “ There’s none but witches do inhabit here.” “ I see two husbands, or mine own eyes deceive me.” " All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." " The Duke himself, and all the court, are here." " I am an ass, I am an ass" " I am not an angel, I am not a devil" " I have not seen him these two days" " No man is an island" " The Duke is very strange" " The time is out of joint" " There's none but witches do inhabit here" " To me she speaks, she moves me for her theme" " I see two husbands, or mine own, one, or both, the other" " I am a man more sinned against than sinning." " I am not an angel, I am not a devil." " The Duke cannot deny the course of law." " To me she speaks, she moves me for her theme." |
