What a piece of work is a man! how in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me—no, woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to so.
