Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
- The cease of majesty Dies not alone; but like a gulf doth draw What's near it with it: it is a massy wheel, Fix'd on the summit of the highest mount, To whose huge spokes ten thousand lesser things Are mortis'd and adjoin'd; which, when it falls, Each small annexment, petty consequence, Attends the boisterous ruin.†
Scene 3.3
- If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search.†
Scene 5.2 *
