Everyday Shakespeare
In the library lobby,
anytime during regular hours
Speak the
speech,
I pray you,
as I pronounc'd it to you,
trippingly on the tongue. . .
Hamlet
Act 3, scene 2
Many of the
words and phrases that Shakespeare coined and popularized are contemporary household words (Henry the Fifth). Stop
by and see if you recognize them. Laugh at some of Shakespeare’s well-crafted
insults. Play around with some of his words and phrases—maybe you’ll coin a new
one yourself!
