provok'st

Updated: March 3, 2026

We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. The best of rest is sleep, And that thou oft provok'st; yet grossly fear'st Thy death, which is no more. To die is landing on some silent shore Where billows never break, nor tempests roar.
