WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: O, NOW, FOR EVER

SHAKESPEPARWILLIAM400
William Shakespeare
(1564-1616)

O, now, for ever

O, now, for ever
Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content!
Farewell the plumed troop and the big wars
That make ambition virtue! O, farewell!
Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner, and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats
The immortal Jove’s dread clamours counterfeit,
Farewell! Othello’s occupation’s gone!

William Shakespeare, “Othello”, Act 3 scene 3
Shakespeare 400 (1616 – 2016)
