Which work of Shakespeare was the original quote from?

A Giles! A Giles! My kingdom for a Giles!

Which work of Shakespeare was the original quote from?

Fear no more the heat o'the Giles
Nor the furious winter's rages.

From:

Thou thy worldly task hast done?

From:

Home art gone, and ta'en the wages:

(and a mortal it must be)

Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

From:

Hey! Did you cheat? That's pretty accurate for you.

From:

Hey, clink the link and you'll be sure to see,
Where Shakespeare's words and mine chance to agree
- and welcome to my journal, now that's nice
To see you here may add a little spice.

From:

Shakespeare wasn't really a demon was he? Not saying that anyone that's that good with words is a demon. It just would make a lot of sense.

From:

He wrote his lyrics well, all right,
and set them for his world's delight.
The truth to tell, it has been known
Not all that's in a Gig is shown,
and sons or daughters may be left
Some operatives are kind of deft ...

From: (Anonymous)

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into harry_potter, into thin harry_potter.

Which work of Shakespeare was the original quote from? (http://thesurrealist.co.uk/shakespeare.php?word=harry_potter&ans=84)

From:

When the hurly-burly's done,
when the battles fought and won,
When that scruffy sorting hat
starts admitting where it's at,
When that sluggard Dumbledore
Sells recruits from Ravenclaw,
We need the minions rather thin,
but won't recruit from Slytherin!

From:

Operatives? Sons or daughters?

Does that mean he's part demon? That really explains a lot. Huh. I never thought of demons and humans... Okay so yeah I did think of humans and demons with Angel but I didn't think it could be a reality.

From:

I dunno how to tell you this, Slayer, but marriage is a sexual relationship - say, don't they tell girls about that in this age?

Shakespeare inherited quite a way with words but not so much with the music. Maybe the operative didn't hit too many problems over that.

From:

Really? <-- That was me being all sarcastic girl.

I just meant demons and humans are different species so I never really thought about the possibility of demons and humans having kids.

From:

Very appropriate. My own wasn't precisely a bad fit...

From:

Heh, who told you that, girl? Some folks sing that humans can interbreed with just about anything - there's been half elven, half demon, half orc, all sorts!

Some biologists used to claim that if creatures can interbreed then they ain't no different species! That gave us all somthing to think about! Some of the things humans do can get the nervous types looking real thoughtful.

From:

Huh. I mean sure you read about changlings that are half-fairy and half-human but that's fairy tales.

Okay, first I find out that Hansel and Gretel are really demons, then the Easter Bunny and don't even get me started on the Santa myth. Now, I'm finding out that changlings and other half-human half-whatevers are real.

From:

Oh c'mon. You mean you never wondered how some of your neighbors got to be like that?

From:

Incidently, I seem to discovered the identy of the Santa Claws demons.

From:

Does this mean a trip to Iceland? Because I am so there. They have pretty sweaters.

From:

I was thinking aliens. No offense to the Doctor who is an alien and nice.

From:

Ain't that about the same thing? Dimensional travellers, aliens, mythical beings, forieners, to humans ain't they all really just creatures from someplace else?

From:

I rather doubt whether most of the creatures there are within our remit, they seem quite peacable.

On the other hand, there may be some justification for taking out the Santa-Claws demons. They tend to feed annually - or at least to feast, the wording is difficult. Possibly an expedition might be safest in summer.

From:

I'd leave the fairies and gnomes alone unless they were evil. Are gnomes evil? I think the little Travelocity one is.

Hey, I'm all for going to Iceland in the summer.

From:

Well when you put it that way, they are.

From:

Did you ever hear the theory that links war with available transport? It looks so obvious that someone else must have ~~thought of it~~ noticed the pattern.

First you get the villages saying "this bit is ours" and telling horror stories about the village down the road and fighting the village over the hill. The ones they can just about get at by a few days journey in good weather.

Then they invent the wheel or domesticate the horse or something and they get kingdoms about the size of two good pastures, the village over the hill gets turned into neighbours and they start fighting the ones that are a few days journey away by horse.

Then they get coaches, the kingdoms get bigger and they start trying to fight the strangers that they can only reach by a few days journey by boat. The French and English kept it up for centuries. The Romans went everywhere, way back, but there's mostly that critical time and distance.

It's gone sour on you, now. If you'd found Martians you'd have a world government and a whole new war...

Hey! Have you read the Dr.Seuss book about sneaches?

From:

I hadn't, I guess it was after my time,
Google gave me a summary but it don't rhyme.
It's the opposite to the best cure for Gorfsnibbless
(a galuphing beast as prolific as tribbles.)

Gorfsnibbless? I haven't heard of those.

Are those around again? They're hard to kill, even with bait.

Is there a bounty?
