Thus must we toil in other men's extremes, That know not how to remedy our own.
Dost thou think to live till his old doublet will make thee a new truss?
Where words prevail not, violence prevails; But gold doth more than either of them both.
Oh eyes, no eyes, but fountains fraught with tears; Oh life, no life, but lively form of death; Oh world, no world, but mass of public wrongs, Confused and filled with murder and misdeeds.
What outcries pluck me from my naked bed And chill my throbbing heart with trembling fear.
For what's a play without a woman in it?
