“Madam, you have done me wrong,
Notorious wrong.”
Prairie Dog performing Hamlet
“O, I die, Horatio;
The potent poison quite o’er-crows my spirit:
I cannot live to hear the news from England;
But I do prophesy the election lights
On Fortinbras: he has my dying voice;
So tell him, with the occurrents, more and less,
Which have solicited. The rest is silence.”

Where having spied her tower, long stared he on’t,
And prayed the narrow toiling Hellespont
To part in twain, that he might come and go

Now piercing to my soul. O, thus she stood,
Even with such life of majesty, warm life,
As now it coldly stands, when first I woo’d her!

To what we wildly do, so we profess
Ourselves to be the slaves of chance and flies
Of every wind that blows.”

Within an hour, and pacing through the forest,
Chewing the food of sweet and bitter fancy

He that with shepherds and a little spoil
Durst, in disdain of wrong and tyranny,
Defend his freedom ‘gainst a monarchy,
What will he do supported by a king,
Leading a troop of gentlemen and lords,
And stuff’d with treasure for his highest thoughts!
Prairie Dogs performing Much Ado About Nothing

Here stand a pair of honourable men;
A third is fled, that had a hand in it.

Or, wanting strength to do thee so much good,
I may be pluck’d into the swallowing womb
Of this deep pit, poor Bassianus’ grave.
Prairie Dog performing Midsummer’s Night Dream
So doth the woodbine the sweet honeysuckle
Gently entwist; the female ivy so
Enrings the barky fingers of the elm.
