Hourly joys be still upon you!

A contract of true love to celebrate…

Long continuance, and increasing,
Hourly joys be still upon you!
—The Tempest,
Act IV, Scene i

Even such a passion doth embrace my bosom:
My heart beats thicker than a feverous pulse;
And all my powers do their bestowing lose…
You have bereft me of all words.
Troilus and Cressida,
Act III, Scene ii

Ere I could make thee open thy white hand
And clap thyself my love: then didst thou utter ‘I am yours for ever.’
–The Winter’s Tale,
Act I, Scene ii

O, could this kiss be printed in thy hand,
That thou mightst think upon these by the seal,
Through whom a thousand sighs are breathed for thee!
–Henry VI Part 2,
Act III, Scene ii

I woo’d thee with my sword,
And won thy love, doing thee injuries;
But I will wed thee in another key,
With pomp, with triumph and with revelling.
–A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
Act I, Scene i
