Poor ugly people...

MIRANDA [when she meets Ferdinand for the first time...]

There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple.
If the evil spirit have so fair a house,
Good things will strive to dwell with't.

MIRANDA [cuando conoce a Ferdinand por primera vez...]

Nada indigno puede caber jamás en ese santuario de su cuerpo.
Si la maldad habitara esa hermosa mansión,
también la bondad querría morar en ella.

The course of true love never did run smooth...

LYSANDER
Ay me! for aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth;
But, either it was different in blood,—

HERMIA
O cross! too high to be enthrall'd to low.

LYSANDER
Or else misgraffed in respect of years,—

HERMIA
O spite! too old to be engaged to young.

LYSANDER
Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,—

HERMIA
O hell! to choose love by another's eyes.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act 1, Scene 1, line 132-140

William Shakespeare
