    of three things. The first was that he had trusted a woman with
    a secret; the second that he had gone by sea when he might have
    gone by land; and the third, that had passed one day without
    having a will by him.

That it may please you leave these sad designs
To him that hath most cause to be a mourner,

And wet his grave with my repentant tears--
I will with all expedient duty see you.

Her snaky crest; a quick-returning pang
Shoots through the conscious heart.
