AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION:By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap
To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon,
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
And pluck up drowned honour by the locks.
ATTRIBUTION:King Henry IV. Part I. Act i. Sc. 3.  [text]
BIOGRAPHY:Columbia Encyclopedia.
WORKS:William Shakespeare Collection.
