    Will live to fight another day;
    For he that runs may fight again,
    Which he can never do that's slain.
    Deeper to wound she shuns the fight;
    She drops her arms, to gain the field:
    Secures her conquest by her flight:
    And triumphs when she seems to yield.

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment,
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

Long as my exile, sweet as my revenge!

I carried from thee dear; and my true lip
Hath virgined it e'er since.
