Hey, guys. I need your help. I'm working on a play right now (The Sisters Rosensweig, by Wendy Wasserstein) that quotes lots of things, but doesn't identify the source of the quote. I've looked all over, but I can't find any of them. So, if any of you recognize these, please please please let me know where it comes from!

"'Tis dark and dreary this sepulchral isle. This royal throne of kings"

"Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we, For such as we are made of, such we be"

"If I could only get to Moscow!"
-this might be from Chekhov's "Three Sisters". Anyone know for sure?

"I would give all my fame for a pot of ale and safety"


Thanks!
