Quotes

What is she that all our swains commend her? Holy, fair and wise is she.
Prince Alexei Romanov quoting Shakespeare

“Who is Silvia? What is she,
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admirèd be.
Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness,
And, being helped, inhabits there.
Then to Silvia let us sing,
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling:
To her let us garlands bring.
William Shakespeare, “Who Is Silvia?”

 

“Love’s labor lost.”
Paladin

“Love’s Labour Lost”
A Play by William Shakespeare

 

“Now is the winter of our discontent. May glorious summer but begin. “
Prince Alexei Romanov

 

“Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
Grim-visaged war hath smooth’d his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barded steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady’s chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp’d, and want love’s majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtail’d of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deformed, unfinish’d, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity:
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.
Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams,
To set my brother Clarence and the king
In deadly hate the one against the other:
And if King Edward be as true and just
As I am subtle, false and treacherous,
This day should Clarence closely be mew’d up,
About a prophecy, which says that ‘G’
Of Edward’s heirs the murderer shall be.
Dive, thoughts, down to my soul: here
Clarence comes.”
William Shakespeare, Richard III, spoken by Gloucester

 

“Waste not, want not”
Kim Chan

“His sisters and his cousins whom he reckons up by dozens; his sisters and his cousins and his aunts.”
Paladin

Captain Corcoran. (from poop)
Now give three cheers,
I’ll lead the way
Hurrah! Hurrah!

All.
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Enter Sir Joseph with Cousin Hebe.

Sir Joseph.
I am the monarch of the sea,
The ruler of the Queen’s Navee,
Whose praise Great Britain loudly chants.

Cousin Hebe.
And we are his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

Chorus.
And we/they are his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

Cousin Hebe & Chorus.
His sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

Sir Joseph.
When at anchor here I ride,
My bosom swells with pride,
And I snap my fingers at a foeman’s taunts.

Cousin Hebe.
And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

Chorus.
And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

Cousin Hebe & Chorus.
His sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

Sir Joseph Portercomes on board
But when the breezes blow,
I generally go below,
And seek the seclusion that a cabin grants.

Cousin Hebe.
And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

Chorus.
And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

Cousin Hebe & Chorus.
And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!
His sisters and his cousins,
Whom he reckons up by dozens,
And his aunts!
Gilbert & Sullivan, “Now Give Three Cheers”, HMS Pinafore

 

“Waste not, want not”
Kim Chan quoting a proverb

 

Whole volumes spoke of her. Holy, fair and wise was she.
Paladin quoting Shakespeare

 

Who is Silvia? what is she,
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admirèd be.
Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness,
And, being helped, inhabits there.
Then to Silvia let us sing,
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling:
To her let us garlands bring.”
William Shakespeare, “Who is Silvia”
