From which of Shakespeare's play the poem 'Fear No More' is extracted :


Options:

  1. Cymbeline
  2. Merchant of Venice
  3. Romeo and Juliet
  4. King Lear

Right Answer: Cymbeline

‘Fear No More the Heat o’ the Sun’ is a dirge from Shakespeare’s late romance ‘Cymbeline’, sung by Guiderius and Arviragus over the body of the disguised Imogen, whom they believe dead and know as Fidele. The song consoles by listing the troubles from which death sets us free: the heat of the sun and the furious winter’s rages, the frown of the great, the tyrant’s stroke, slander, censure and the fear of calumny. Its refrain, that golden lads and girls all must as chimney-sweepers come to dust, is among the most quoted lines in Shakespeare.
