Not quite Shakespeare, but José Hernández:

"Justice is like the spider's web,
it traps the small bug
but the big one breaks it."

And some others I can remember at the moment:

"her sense of humour is so dry you could use it as a towel"

"sharp as a bag of wet mice"

"my iBook's hinge has more play than a kindergarten at recess" (or "flexes like a bodybuilder")

"the MacBook Pro is as power-hungry as a politician"

"come and go like it's your mum's house"

Some of them more laboured than effective, but that's all I can think of now. And a completely unrelated epigram which came into my mind for no good reason and which I can't resist sharing:

"I am His Highness' dog at Kew/Pray tell me sir, whose dog are you?" - engraved on the appropriate dog's collar!
