You taught me first to beg; and now methinks
You teach me how a beggar should be answered.
The Merchant of Venice, 4. 1

The moon shines bright: in such a night as this,
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees
And they did make no noise, in such a night
Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls
And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents,
Where Cressid lay that night.
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1

In such a night
Stood Dido with a willow in her hand
Upon the wild sea banks and waft her love
To come again to Carthage.
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here we will sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold:
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins.
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1

I am never merry when I hear sweet music.
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1

How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1

The nightingale, if she should sing by day,
When every goose is cackling, would be thought
No better a musician than the wren.
How many things by season seasoned are
To their right praise and true perfection!
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1

This night methinks is but the daylight sick.
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1

These blessed candles of the night.
The Merchant of Venice, 5. 1
