for you are call'd plain Kate, and bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the curst; but Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate, ... from a wild Kate to a Kate conformable as other household Kates. h/t @shakespeare.lol

for thee
Image of this speech from a First Folio:

Ham. I will tell you why; fo fhall my anticipation preuent your difcouery of your fecricie to the King and Queene: moult no feather, I haue of late, but wherefore I know not, loft all my mirth, forgone all cuftome of ex-ercife; and indeed, it goes fo heauenly with my difpofiti-on that this goodly frame the Earth, feemes to me a fter-rill Promontory; this moft excellent Canopy the Ayre, look you, this braue ore-hanging, this Maiefticall Roofe, fretted with golden fire: why, it appeares no other thing to mee, then a foule and peftilent congregation of va-pours. What a piece of worke is a man! how Noble in Reafon? how infinite in faculty? in forme and mouing how expreffe and admirable? in Action, how like an An-gel? in apprehenfion, how like a God? the beauty of the world, the Parragon of Animals; and yet to me, what is this Quinceffence of Duft? Man delights not me; no, nor Woman neither; though by your fmiling you feeme to fay fo.

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a god!

The sheep for fodder follow the shepherd, the shepherd for food follows not the sheep; thou for wages followest thy master, thy master for wages follows not thee: therefore thou art a sheep.

Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven, Whiles, like a puff’d and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede.
