But stay, O spite! But mark, poor knight, What dreadful dole is here! Eyes, do you see? How can it be? O dainty duck! O dear! Thy mantle good, What, stain’d with blood! Approach, ye Furies fell! O Fates, come, come, Cut thread and thrum; Qual, crush, conclude, and quell!

Shakespeare's references to the moon show the passage of time, while Ovid uses the moon to symbolize the lovers’ feelings for each other.
