Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.

from Macbeth

A rose by any other name smells as sweet

(from the Wherefore art thou Romeo? speech. Incidentally it is a source of great annoyance, almost as much as pan pipe buskers, when people think wherefore means where. It means why.)

All of the pastoral bit (after exit, pursued by a bear) of the Winter's Tale.

Anyone seen any good Shakespeare lately? Went to see the new RSC Hamlet at Stratford a few weeks ago and it was brilliant.
