Holy shite that translation is awful. Kids are going to read boring, flavorless passages like "Every one of us is a criminal. Don’t believe any of us. Hurry to a convent." and wonder what the big deal about Shakespeare is. Some of it is completely unecessary. Is Ophelia starting a line "heavenly powers," really that confusing that it needs to be replaced with "dear god?" Why not whole hog and change it to "wtf"
A travesty most grievous,
Wounds the bard, who'd scarce believe us,
When we told him brilliant Caesar,
Or Marc Antony (that teaser),
Had been rendered dull mouth-breathers,
So illiterates pass easier.

Edward de Vere truly was the greatest writer to ever live.

Apropos for the OT

All lovers swear more performance than they are able, and yet reserve an ability that they never perform; vowing more than the perfection of ten, and discharging less than the tenth part of one. Troilus and Cressida Quote Act iii. Scene 2.

In life and love,
Things good and bad,
The spawn of eve,
Is often mad.

Funny one -
"I would he had boarded me" - Beatrice, Much Ado About Nothing
I went around for most of high school saying "I'd board that" instead of "I'd tap that".
Serious -
"Men at some time are masters of their fates.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars
But in ourselves, that we are underlings." - Cassius, Julius Caesar

From King Henry V:
"This is the latest parle we will admit;
Therefore to our best mercy give yourselves;
Or like to men proud of destruction
Defy us to our worst: for, as I am a soldier,
A name that in my thoughts becomes me best,
If I begin the battery once again,
I will not leave the half-achieved Harfleur
Till in her ashes she lie buried.
The gates of mercy shall be all shut up,
And the flesh'd soldier, rough and hard of heart,
In liberty of bloody hand shall range
With conscience wide as hell, mowing like grass
Your fresh-fair virgins and your flowering infants."

"How ill white hairs become a fool and a jester." II Henry IV.
My favorite stage direction is from Titus Andronicus: "enter a messenger with two heads." No matter how you read that, it ain't good news a-coming.
