    Nor care for wind or tide nor sea;
    I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
    For lo! my own shall come to me.

Promising is the very air o' th' time; it opens the eyes of
expectation. Performance is ever duller for his act; and, but in

performance is a kind of will or testament which argues a great
sickness in his judgment that makes it.

Since yesterday I have been in Alcala.
Erelong the time will come, sweet Preciosa,
When that dull distance shall no more divide us;
And I no more shall scale thy wall by night
To steal a kiss from thee, as I do now.

He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age, doing in the

expectation than you must expect of me to tell you how.
