Passage 1
To die, to sleep
No more and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation Devotedly to be wished. To die, to sleep
To sleep-perchance to dream: ay there‘s the rub, For in that sleep of death what dream may come? When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us a pause. There‘s the respect That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor‘s wrong, the proud man‘s contumely The pangs of despised love, the law‘s delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns, The patient merit of th‘ unworthy takes

Passage 2
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st. So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee..

Passage 3
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some boos also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books; else distilled books are, like common distilled waters, flashy things.

Passage 4
The youngster was in clothed in scarlet red, In scarlet fine and gay;
And he did frisk it over the plain, And chanted a roundelay.
As Robin Hood next morning stood, Amongst the leaves so gay;
There did he espy the same young man, Come drooping along the way.
The scarlet he wore the day before, It was clean cast away;
And at every step he fetched a sigh, Alack and well-a-day!‖

Passage 5
Death, be not proud, thou some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so:
For those whom thou think‘st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much pleasure; then from thee much must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul‘s delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war and sickness dwell, And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better by thy stroke; why swell‘st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death; thou shall die.

What though the field be lost?
All is not lost: the unconquerable will, And study of revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield: And what is else not to be overcome? That glory never shall his wrath or might Extort from me. To bow and sue for grace With suppliant knee, and deify his power Who, from the terror of this arm, so late Doubted his empire-that were low indeed; That were an ignominy and shame beneath
This downfall; since, by fate, the strength of gods And this empyreal substance, cannot fail;

Passage 8:
I lay down on the grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I
remember to have done in my life, and as I reckoned, above nine hours; for when I awaked, it was just daylight. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: for as I happened to lie on my back, I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground; and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same manner. .I likewise felt several slender figures across my body, from my armpits to my thighs. I could only look upwards; the sun began to grow hot, and the light offended my eyes. I heard a confused noise about me, but in the posture I lay, could see nothing except the sky. In a little time, I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin; when bending my eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back.
