    In my most ill-compos'd affection such
    A stanchless avarice that, were I King,
    I should cut off the nobles for their lands,
    Desire his jewels, and this other's house,
    And my more-having would be as a sauce
    To make me hunger more, that I should forge
    Quarrels unjust against the good and loyal,
    Destroying them for wealth.
