Everyone should own a complete works really:

Bottom one looks quite nice. If shes the kind of friend youre trying to charm the pants of you could always mark a few selected affectionate passages etc :)

Alternatives might getting a framed particular passage, or maybe taking her to the Globe?

that last one is pretty ace, but I reaaallly like the idea of a framed passage, do you reckon theyd be available online or itd be a DIY job?

How does that help punk though?  :P

As for the framed thing, dunno, sure someone out there would make up something like custom for you for a price - if youre vaguely artistic a DIY job could be just as good though.

I like the quote idea;

" Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. "

you could get it etched in glass.

I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

You should be able to get a near enough A4 sized frame from a pound shop and print a suitable passage out onto a page of paper. There are shops that do specialist high quality papers and card for printing important things. Do a couple for her and you might be rewarded with an appropriate response for your efforts.

Or she might just kick you in the codpiece and tell you shes going with ugly face down the road... You never know with girls ;)
