    expectation than you must expect of me to tell you how.

Promising is the very air o' th' time; it opens the eyes of
expectation. Performance is ever duller for his act; and, but in

performance is a kind of will or testament which argues a great
sickness in his judgment that makes it.

Since yesterday I have been in Alcala.
Erelong the time will come, sweet Preciosa,
When that dull distance shall no more divide us;
And I no more shall scale thy wall by night
To steal a kiss from thee, as I do now.

Where most it promises; and oft it hits

Have you climbed up to walls and battlements,
To tow'rs and windows, read more

Many a time and oft
Have you climbed up to walls and battlements,
To tow'rs and windows, yea, to chimney tops,
Your infants in your arms, and there have sat
The livelong day, with patient expectation,
To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome.
