All the world’s a stage
Ariel’s Song
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises
Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind
Double, double toil and trouble
Fear no more the heat o’ the sun
Give me my robe, put on my crown
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
If we shadows have offended
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows
It was a lover and his lass
Let us sit upon the ground
Now my charms are all o’erthrown

Tell me where is Fancy bred

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow
Under the greenwood tree

When that I Was and a Little Tiny Boy
Where the bee sucks, there suck I
Who is Silvia?
