Shakespeare is credited with introducing thousands of words and phrases into the English language, including “bedroom”, “majestic” and “eyeballs”.

 

“So, then, two bosoms and a single troth. Then by your side no bedroom me deny, For lying so, Hermia, I do not lie.” – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Look in mine eyeballs, there thy beauty lies.

Then why not lips in lips, since eyes in eyes?” – Venus and Adonis
