My tears gainsay.

O Lord, that lends me life,
Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!
For thou hast given me in this beauteous face
A world of earthly blessings to my soul,
If sympathy of love unite our thoughts.

Let him that is a true-born gentleman
And stands upon the honour of his birth,
If he suppose that I have pleaded truth,
From off this brier pluck a white rose with me.

To sport would be as tedious as to work.

Why, look you, I am whipp'd and scourged with rods,
Nettled and stung with pismires, when I hear
Of this vile politician, Bolingbroke.

#BBCShakespeare
Sometimes am I king;
Then treasons make me wish myself a beggar,
And so I am: then crushing penury
Persuades me I was better when a king;
Then am I king'd again: and by and by
Think that I am unking'd by Bolingbroke.

You thus employ'd, I will go root away
The noisome weeds, which without profit suck
The soil's fertility from wholesome flowers.

As in a soul remembering my good friends.

Let's purge this choler without letting blood.

Dame Judi Dench recites Sonnet 29 on the Graham Norton Show. A bit cheeky to call her a "Shakespeare jukebox".

" O happy dagger!
This is thy sheath;" - Romeo & Juliet (A5, S3)
I loved the animated tales they did in the early 90s. This illustration is taken from the book that went with it. Thank you #BBCShakespeare
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days. - Richard III (A1, S1) #BBCShakespeare
