Fortune reigns in gifts of the world.
O world, how apt the poor are to be proud!
These flowers are like the pleasures of the world.
Come the three corners of the world in arms, and we shall shock them.
Why, then the world ’s mine oyster, Which I with sword will open.
The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.

I swear again, I would not be a queen For all the world.
Let not the world see fear and sad distrust govern the motion of a kingly eye.
