(gentle music) (relaxing music) - I have of late, though where for I know not, lost all my mirth.
Forgone all custom of exercises and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame.
The earth seems to me a sterile Promontory.
This most excellent canopy, the air.
Look you this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire.
Why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.
What a piece of work is man?
How noble in reason.
How infinite in faculty, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action.
How like an angel in apprehension, hell like a God.
The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals and yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust.
Man delights not me.
No, no woman neither though, by you're smiling, you seem to say so.
