Perchance

To sleep, perchance to dream; aye, there's the rub, for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause.

They might perchance have soon become enlightened as to the mysteries of love had not a great tumult arose in the surrounding country.

"Touched by his tearful plea, / we asked his race, what tidings, good or ill, / he brings, for hope, perchance, may cheer a captive still."

"I fled, 'tis true, and saved my life by flight, / bursting my bonds in frenzy of despair, / and hidden in a marish lay that night, / waiting till they should sail, if sail, perchance, they might."

"No hope have I my ancient fatherland, / or darling boys, or long-lost sire to see, / whom now perchance, the Danaans will demand, / poor souls! for vengeance, and their death decree, / to purge my crime, in daring to be free."

Should, perchance, young women read this story, let me tell them it is true in every particular, but not the whole truth, for there are some things that cannot be told.

A blind man may perchance hit the mark.

You wouldn't, perchance, have a bottle opener on you, would you?

Perchance he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that he knows not it tolls for him[…]

“Yet pull not down my palace towers, that are / So lightly, beautifully built: / Perchance I may return with others there / When I have purged my guilt.”
