"What a piece of work are birds!" is a phrase from within a monologue by an anonymous contemporary of William Shakespeare.

The speech

What a piece of work are birds! How noble in saturation, how infinite in hue! In spectral absorption and reflection how express and admirable ... the beauty of the air ... the paragon of visual stimuli!"
