Long continuance, & increasing,
Hourly joys be still upon you!

"Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood …"

There aren't a lot of great mothers in Shakespeare, curiously.

Happy Mother's Day🌸

Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.

“I'll follow you, I'll lead you about a round,
Through bog, through bush, through brake, through brier:
Sometime a horse I'll be, sometime a hound,
A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire…”

When I was green in judgment, cold in blood,
To say as I said then!”
