1915 William Shakespeare 1564-1616 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:1915
AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION:Your monument shall be my gentle verse,
Which eyes not yet created shall o’er-read,
And tongues to be your being shall rehearse
When all the breathers of this world are dead;
You still shall live—such virtue hath my pen—
Where breath most breathes, even in the mouths of men.
