212 psl. - Excellent wretch ! Perdition catch my soul, But I do love thee ! and when I love thee not Chaos is come again.
115 psl. - Forthwith the sounds and seas, each creek and bay, With fry innumerable swarm, and shoals Of fish, that with their fins and shining scales Glide under the green wave, in sculls that oft Bank the mid sea...
