Oft

Famous quotes containing the word oft:

    Thy best of rest is sleep,
    And that thou oft provok’st, yet grossly fear’st
    Thy death, which is no more.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Me of my lawful pleasure she restrained,
    And prayed me oft forbearance; did it with
    A pudency so rosy the sweet view on’t
    Might well have warmed old Saturn; that I thought her
    As chaste as unsunned snow.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth
    In strange eruptions; oft the teeming earth
    Is with a kind of colic pinched and vexed
    By the imprisoning of unruly wind
    Within her womb, which, for enlargement striving,
    Shakes the old beldame earth, and topples down
    Steeples and moss-grown towers.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
