Quotations from Shakespeare

By Starfall.
An illustration of Shakespeare. He puts on a puppet show with two marionettes.
A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse! A silly king, dressed in shiny armor. A boy with a horse. The king offers the boy a coin. The boy shakes his head no. The king offers a chest of coins. The boy refuses again. The king finally offers his own crown. The boy accepts and gives the king his horse.
Better three hours too soon than a minute too late! The king gallops along.
Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast. The silly king and horse stumble.
The purest spring is not so free from mud. The horse drinks and splashes mud on the king's face.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet. The king picks a rose and offers it to his horse. The horse hugs the king.
They do not love that do not show their love. The king climbs up a tower with a rose for the queen. A dragon follows him.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. The king on his knee, gives a rose to the queen. His helmet visor falls over his face.
I am constant as the northern star. A star rises in the sky. The queen throws kisses and releases hearts.
Goodnight, goodnight. Parting is such sweet sorrow. The silly king gets on his horse backwards and rides off.
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. Shakespeare is pictured again as a puppeteer. His marionettes are the king and queen.
