Moon: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

O sovereign mistress of true melancholy.— A. C. iv. 9
The moon, the governess of floods, Pale in her anger, washes all the air, That rheumatic diseases do abound: And, through this distemperature, we see The seasons alter.— M. N. ii. 2.
The pale-fac'd moon.— R. IL. ii. 4
Shakespeurian Dictionary. How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears.— M. V. v. 1.

Lingering

Methinks, how slow This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires, Like to a step-dame, or a dowager, Long withering out a young man's revenue.— M. N. i. 1
