And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back,
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath,
That the rude sea grew civil at her song;
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres,
To hear the sea-maid’s music.

Creep on in this petty pace 'till the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our days but light the way to dusty death.

A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more, a tale told by an idiot,
Full of sound and fury -- signifying nothing."
