“Sing all a green willow...
The fresh streams ran by her, and murmur’d her moans
Her salt tears fell from her, and soften’d the stones...
Sing willow, willow, willow.”
Othello, 4:3



The willow grows near water & symbolises grief & sorrow.

Without all ornament, itself and true,
Making no summer of another's green,
Robbing no old to dress his beauty new;
And him as for a map doth Nature store,
To show false Art what beauty was of yore.
Sonnet 68

Who pass'd, methought, the melancholy flood,
With that grim ferryman which poets write of,
Unto the kingdom of perpetual night.

I will lead them up and down
I am feared in field in town
Goblin, lead them up and down”

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the cauldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

- MacBeth Act IV, Scene 1

Whiles yet the dew's on ground, gather those flowers;
Make haste: who has the note of them?

To work mine end upon their senses that
This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I’ll drown my book.

Makes the night morning, and the noontide night.
Princes have but their titles for their glories,
An outward honour for an inward toil."
