The RSC Shakespeare Quotes

“So, when this loose behaviour I throw off And pay the debt I never promisèd, By how much better than my word I am, By so much shall I falsify men’s hopes[137], 140 And like bright metal on a sullen ground[138], My reformation, glittering o’er my fault, Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes Than that which hath no foil[139] to set it off. I’ll so offend[140] to make offence a skill[141], 145 Redeeming time[142] when men think least I will.”
