New York: Avon Books (1999); pg. 255. | "...but I also told him about a very brave friend of mine named Chink Smith who quoted a bit of Shakespeare to me. I liked it so much that I had him write it out. It came from The Second Part of Henry the Fourth, and I've learned it and kept it with me since then, wearing it like an invisible Saint Christopher's medal. ' 'By my troth, I care not; a man can die but once; we owe God a death . . . and let it go which way it will, he that dies this year is quit for the next.' 'You are quit for the next, Santiago Lopez. And you were a brave man, no matter what age you were when you paid God his debt.' Hemingway stepped back. The old gravedigger cleared his throat. 'No senor,' he said in Spanish. 'There must be words from the Bible before we put the earth over this child.' 'Must there?' said Hemingway, his voice almost amused. 'Will not Senor Shakespeare suffice?' 'No, senor,' said the old man. 'The Bible is necessary.' " |

New York: Pocket Books (1992); pg. 77. | "...Gorkon raised his crystal goblet, filled to the rim with smoking blue ale. 'I give you a toast: the undiscovered country . . .' Spock glanced sharply at the chancellor. He was familiar with the reference, which he thought more appropriate to a wake than to a diplomatic dinner. Indeed, to whose death did Gorkon refer? '. . . the future,' Gorkon finished merrily, aware of the stir he had caused. Those at the table echoed him and raised their glasses. 'The undiscovered country.' Spock lifted his own goblet and took a perfunctory sip. The chancellor had insisted that Spock be served Romulan ale in order to make a proper toast. Aware of Klingon custom, Spock acquiesced in this instance, for the sake of intragalactic relations... " [A reference from Hamlet.] |

' 'But that the dread of something after death, the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns, puzzles the will, and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of?' Ah, Captain Spock, you have never experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.' 'I do not understand,' Spock said. 'The quote clearly refers to he fear of death.' Gorkon leaned forward, enthusiastic about his subject. 'But do you not see that it is also a metaphor concerning fear of the unknown? Our people have been in what amounts to a state of undeclared war with your Federation for nearly seven decades--and why? Because war, battle is all we know. Because peace is something new, different, frightening to us. But we must be willing to embrace the future and move forward...' " |

'That is the question which preoccupies our people, Captain Kirk.' He glanced quickly in Gorkon's direction, as if acknowledging a source of contention with the chancellor. 'We need breathing room.'

'Oh!' said Crusher, smiling. 'How sweet. Like Romeo and Juliet.' 'Ah, yes,' said Data. 'The play by your William Shakespeare. A treatise on the subjects of parental neglect and teen suicide.' 'It was a bit more than that, Data,' said Picard, trying not to sound as annoyed as he felt with this cavalier dismissal of the Bard. 'That play contained some of the most famous and moving romantic passages in history...' " |

'I didn't know that, Captain,' said Crusher. 'Did you play Romeo?' 'Well . . . no,' said Picard, suddenly looking as if he wished he hadn't brought up the subject. 'Mercutio?' suggested Geordi. 'Or one of the fathers?' 'Not exactly.' 'The priest?' asked Troi. 'No, not Friar Laurence. The point is that--' 'Captain, whom did you play?' asked Riker. Picard sighed and said, 'I portrayed the nurse.' 'The nurse?' said Crusher. 'Juliet's nurse?' 'It's a superb part,' Picard said. 'Oh, I'm sure you were wonderful, Captain,' the doctor said. 'In original productions, women's parts were always played by men,' Picard informed them. 'The point is that in his scenario, the houses are not feuding. The love between the two young people... is not cause for recriminations, war, or backbiting...' " |

"; Pg. 26: "'Did you do anything you regret in that pursuit, Captain?' asked Riker. Picard's mouth twitched. 'I wore that blasted nurse's costume.' 'Ah.' 'Impetuous youth. You see, there weren't enough young men to go around, so we did indeed have a female playing Juliet. Beautiful young thing... I would've cut off my right arm to be near her. The part of Romeo was already taken by this annoyingly heroic-looking young man. Only the nurse had any other real scenes with her, and I was willing to go to whatever lengths to be close to her... Oh Lord. I wore a hot, sweaty nurse's costume for four weeks of performances, not to mention rehearsals, for a girl whose name I can't remember anymore.' " |

Putting their children's concerns before their own. Most definitely not, Mr. Data, a Romeo and Juliet situation.' 'That is fortunate, Captain,' said Data neutrally. 'A mutual suicide on the part of the bride and groom would not be conducive to merrymaking.' " |

Boy--pretty poetic, Wes. Maybe that Shakespeare stuff is contagious. But the players who really drew Wesley's interest were the ones at center stage, the ones who usually occupied the now-deserted command center. Troi, with her . . . how would the Bard have put it? With her calm, Madonna-like beauty... Picard... Even in his absence, he had a presence. Like Julius Caesar, Wesley realized, in the play he'd just finished reading. Even after his assassination, Caesar had seemed to remain on stage, to be as much a participant in Rome's political maneuverings as any of his assassins. " |

"; Pg. 98: "'...Bugs in the vines, rats in the cellar--they resonated through the whole thing.' He tapped his drink thoughtfully. 'Have you ever read the play Hamlet, Deanna?' 'Yes; are you speaking of the 'Something is rotten in Denmark' speech? The poisoning of a king poisoned the whole land.' 'Something like that, yes. In Shakespeare's day, a king was a living extension of his land . . . and if you poisoned the land, presumably the king was poisoned as well.' " |

'Did you know, some people believe that whatever happens to us is decided by the stars. That we have no control over our fates. I think Shakespeare even wrote that 'the fault is in the stars.' ' 'Actually, Admiral, that is incorrect.' 'You're going to tell me that it's ridiculous to believe that interstellar phenomenon could possibly have any sort of effect on the affairs of men?' 'No, sir. That's so self-evident it's not even worth pointing out. No, I was simply going to tell you that your endeavor to quote Shakespeare was not only imprecise, but in fact wildly wrong.' 'How wildly?' " |

New York: Pocket Books (1992); pg. 259. | "'If you're quoting the passage I believe--namely Julius Caesar, act one, scene two--then you have reversed it. The proper line is, 'Men at times are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.' ' 'Really? Huh.' Riker thought about that a moment. 'Hell of a thing to screw up. Who said it?' 'Shakespeare, sir. You were correct about that.' 'No, I mean, who in the play?' 'Cassius, in conversation with Brutus. Two of the conspirators who assassinate Julius Caesar.' " [More here, and pg. 341.] |

Instead the book bore a large red title: Francis Bacon: The True Bard of Avon. Picard was not amused. Over the centuries, many people had tried to claim that the plays associated with William Shakespeare had been written by someone else. The mere thought of this angered him. 'Computer,' he said, and repeated his request for the Dixon Hill novel. Another copy of The True Bard of Avon appeared. 'Computer,' Picard said, 'Where did this book come from?' 'It is a gift from Lieutenant Worf,' the machine answered. Picard sighed. Worf would never play a joke on anyone... 'Picard to Worf. I'd like to see you in my quarters.' Worf appeared moments later. He scowled as Picard handed him the book. 'Yes, sir?' he said... 'The computer claims it is a gift from you,' Picard said. 'That is not true... Shakespeare had the soul of a Klingon.

Truth be told, I made it up. Along with a bunch of the other ditties like, 'To thine own self be true,'; 'a rose by any other name;' 'all the world's a stage'; and 'let them eat cake,' which that unwashed, uppity ingrate rejected on the assertion that the word 'cake' should be changed to 'fried dough'!

The place was made up to look like an old English-style tavern, right down to waiters wearing Elizabethan togs and waitresses costumed as tavern wenches. There were decorations on all the walls, including texts from both the human and 'original Klingon' folios. There were even gleaming swords of the period mounted on the walls. " [More.] |

New York: Pocket Books (2000); pg. 115. | Pg. 114-115: "Most amusing of all were two actors who were assuming the role of Shakespeare, stalking the tavern while spouting off lengthy samples of the Bard's work. The reason there were two actors was that one was human, while the other was Klingon. Or at least an actor dressed up as a Klingon, for the owners had not managed to actually locate a Klingon who was willing to go along with the charade. The fact was that the true origin of Shakespeare's plays had become something of an issue between Klingon and Terran historians, both claiming that the other race had swiped the Master's work--and planet of origin--without so much as a by-your-leave. As a result, in Shakespeare's Tavern, the human and faux Klingon would occasionally face-off against one another and emote in their respective languages. Robin hated to admit it, but the faux Klingon seemed to show far more passion for the Klingon text than the human did for the English. " |
