    Out of breath to no purpose, in doing much doing nothing. A race
    (of busybodies) hurtful to itself and most hateful to all others.
    [Lat., Gratis anhelans, multa agendo nihil agens.
    Sibi molesta, et aliis odiosissima.]

Madam, you have bereft me of all words.
Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,
And there is such confusion in my powers
As, after some oration fairly spoke
By a beloved prince, there doth appear
Among the buzzing pleased multitude,
Where every something being blent together
Turns to a wild of nothing, save of joy
Expressed and not expressed.

A life of nothing's nothing worth,
From that first nothing ere his birth,
To that last nothing under earth.
