    Nothing is so oppressive as a secret: women find it difficult to
    keep one long; and I know a goodly number of men who are women in
    this regard.
    [Fr., Rien ne pese tant qu'un secret:
    Le porter loin est difficile aux dames;
    Et je sais meme sur ce fait
    Bon nombre d'hommes que sont femmes.]

of the uncircumcised triumph.

But that I am forbid
To tell the secrets of my prison house,
I could a tale read more

But that I am forbid
To tell the secrets of my prison house,
I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
Make thy two eyes like stars start from their spheres,
Thy knotted and combined locks to part,
And each particular hair to stand on end
Like quills upon the fretful porpentine.

from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
