Two from the Winter's Tale

Best for Winter

"A sad tale's best for winter: I have one
Of sprites and goblins" - Act II, Scene 1

Gallows and Knock or several other phrases from

"My father named me Autolycus; who
being, as I am, littered under Mercury, was likewise
a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles. With die and
drab I purchased this caparison, and my revenue is
the silly cheat. Gallows and knock are too powerful
on the highway: beating and hanging are terrors to
me: for the life to come, I sleep out the thought
of it." Act IV, Scene 3
