    That it may please you leave these sad designs
    To him that hath most cause to be a mourner,
    And presently repair to Crosby House;
    Where--after I have solemnly interred
    At Chertsey monast'ry with noble king--
    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.

He [Cato] used to say that in all his life he never repented but
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.
