oh,
for references:
Macbeth:
MACBETH
The rest is labour, which is not used for you:
I\'ll be myself the harbinger and make joyful
The hearing of my wife with your approach;
So humbly take my leave.
ACT I, Scene IV
ROSS
My dearest coz,
I pray you, school yourself: but for your husband,
He is noble, wise, judicious, and best knows
The fits o\' the season. I dare not speak
much further;
But cruel are the times, when we are traitors
And do not know ourselves, when we hold rumour
From what we fear, yet know not what we fear,
But float upon a wild and violent sea
Each way and move. I take my leave of you:
Shall not be long but I\'ll be here again:
Things at the worst will cease, or else climb upward
To what they were before. My pretty cousin,
Blessing upon you!
Act IV, Scene II
can also be found in other Shakespeare plays:
Excerpts from William Shakespeare\'s Hamlet:
Hamlet: You cannot, sir, take from me
anything that I will more willingly part withal -- except my life, my life, ...
King Henry VI Part 3 by William Shakespeare:
Act 3. Scene II
I take my leave with many thousand thanks. GLOUCESTER ...
Cymbeline:
CORNELIUS, I humbly
take my leave. Exit. |
