    Now with my friend I desire not to share or participate, but to
    engross his sorrows, that, by making them mine own, I may more
    easily discuss them; for in mine own reason, and within myself, I
    can command that which I cannot entreat without myself, and
    within the circle of another.

The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the
same overthrowe.
