Oh, I insist that if you read this poem when I’m, perhaps, mixed with clay, you must not even utter my poor name but let your love die with me in case the world, in its wisdom, should look closely at your mourning and mock you about me once I’ve gone.
No, if you read this line, don’t remember the hand that wrote it because I love you so much that I would like you to forget me rather than that, thinking about me, such thoughts would make you sad. When I’m dead don’t mourn for me any longer than you can hear the surly sullen bell telling the world that I’ve fled this vile world to live with the even more vile worms. Lest the wise world should look into your moan,Īnd mock you with me after I am gone. If thinking on me then should make you woe.īut let your love even with my life decay That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, Make good use of time, while I’m still around, Don’t wait for tomorrow, when I’m in the ground. Don’t try to remember how I used to be, Come by today and you can see. Don’t cry for me, when I’m no longer here, Come smile with me, no need for tears.
The hand that writ it, for I love you so, Don’t bring me flowers when I am dead, Come see me today, while I’m sick in bed. Than you shall hear the surly sullen bellįrom this vile world with vilest worms to dwell: Each Shakespeare’s play name links to a range of resources about each play: Character summaries, plot outlines, example essays and famous quotes, soliloquies and monologues: All’s Well That Ends Well Antony and Cleopatra As You Like It The Comedy of Errors Coriolanus Cymbeline Hamlet Henry IV Part 1 Henry IV Part 2 Henry VIII Henry VI Part 1 Henry VI Part 2 Henry VI Part 3 Henry V Julius Caesar King John King Lear Loves Labour’s Lost Macbeth Measure for Measure The Merchant of Venice The Merry Wives of Windsor A Midsummer Night’s Dream Much Ado About Nothing Othello Pericles Richard II Richard III Romeo & Juliet The Taming of the Shrew The Tempest Timon of Athens Titus Andronicus Troilus & Cressida Twelfth Night The Two Gentlemen of Verona The Winter’s Tale
