INSIDE: blank

C. FRONT: The man that hath no music in himself, / Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, / Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils, / The motions of his spirit are dull as night, / And his affections dark as Erebus: / Let no such man be trusted. (Merchant of Venice)
INSIDE: blank

D. FRONT: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright. / It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night / As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear - / Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. (Romeo and Juliet)

E. FRONT: Doubt thou the stars are fire, / Doubt that the sun doth move, / Doubt truth to be a liar, / But never doubt I love. (Hamlet)
