Quotes
Hot sunne, coole fire, temperd with sweet aire,Black shade, fair nurse, shadow my white haireShine sun, burne fire, breath aire, and ease mee,Black shade, fair nurse, shroud me and please meShadow (my sweet nurse) keep me from burningMake not my glad cause, cause of mourning.Let not my beauties fire,Enflame unstaied desire,Nor pierce any bright eye,That wand[e]reth lightly.
Act I, scene i, lines 1–10
