No. Or take away the grief of a wound ? No. Honour hath no skill in surgery then? No. What is honour ? A word. What is in that word, honour? What is that honour ? Air. A trim reckoning !Who hath it? He that died o’Wednesday. Doth he feel it? No. Doth he hear it? No. Is it insensible then? Yea, to the dead. But will it not live with the living ? No. Why ?

Self-inspection. * The sea-monster, is the hippopotamus, the hieroglyphical symbol of impiety and ingratitude. Sandys, in his Travels, says, “ibat he killeth his sire, and ravisheth his own dam."

A peace is of the nature of a conquest; For then both parties nobly are subdued, And neither party loser. 19-iv. 2. 436 The sight of sorrow, its effects. To see sad sights moves more, than hear them told; For then the eye interprets to the ear The heavy motion, that it doth behold; When every part a part of woe doth bear, 'Tis but a part of sorrow that we hear. Deep sounds make lesser noise, than shallow fords; And sorrow ebbs being blown with wind of words. Poems. 437 Self-wretchedness.

A murd’rous guilt shows not itself more soon, Than love that would seem hid: love's night is noon. 4-iii. 2. 448 Female profligacy. Proper deformity seems not in the fiend So horrid, as in woman. 34-iv. 2. 449 Violent love boundless. This is the monstruosițy in love,—that the will is infinite, and the execution confined ; that the desire is boundless, and the act a slave to limit. 26-iii. 2. 450 Dependance on the great fruitless.
