AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION:O shame! where is thy blush? Rebellious hell,
If thou canst mutine in a matron’s bones,
To flaming youth let virtue be as wax,
And melt in her own fire: proclaim no shame
When the compulsive ardour gives the charge,
Since frost itself as actively doth burn,
And reason panders will.
ATTRIBUTION:Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 4.  [text]
BIOGRAPHY:Columbia Encyclopedia.
WORKS:William Shakespeare Collection.
