    Britannia's shame! There took her gloomy flight,
    On wing impetuous, a black sullen soul . . .
    Less base the fear of death than fear of life.
    O Britain! infamous for suicide.

Ah, yes, the sea is still and deep,

Who doubting tyranny, and fainting under
Fortune's false lottery, desperately run
To death, for dread of death; that soul's most stout,
That, bearing all mischance, dares last it out.

He
That kills himself to avoid misery, fears it,
And, at the best, shows but a bastard valour.

Which I must not yield up, till it be forced:
Nor will I. He's not valiant that dares die,
But he that boldly bears calamity.
