It is not yet near day (Act III, scene 5) ; Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death (Act V, scene 3) -- Soliloquies from Hamlet. O that this too too solid flesh would melt (Act I, scene 2) ; All you host of heaven! O earth! What else? (Act 1, scene 5) ; O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I! (Act II, scene 2) ; I will tell you why: so shall my anticipation prevent your discovery (Act II, scene 2) ; To be or not to be: that is the question (Act III, scene 1) ; How all occasions do inform against me (Act IV, scene 4) ; What is he whose grief bears such an emphasis? (Act V, scene 1) -- Sonnet XVIII. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? -- Sonnet XXIXX. When, in disgrace with fortune and mens eyes -- Sonnet XXX. When to the sessions of sweet silent thought -- Sonnet XXXXIII. Full many a glorious morning have I seen -- Sonnet LXXIII. That time of year thou mayst in me behold.
