Conspiracy: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

While you here do snoring lie Open-ey'd conspiracy His time doth take: If of life you keep a care Shake off slumber, and beware: Awake! Awake!— T. ii. 2
O conspiracy! Sham'st thou to show thy dangerous brow by night, When evils are most free? O, then, by day, Where wilt thou find a cavern dark enough To mask thy monstrous visage? Seek none, conspiracy, Hide it in smiles and affability: For if thou path thy native semblance on, Not Erebus itself were dim enough To hide thee from prevention.— J. C. ii. 1
