"Would curses kill, as doth the mandrake's groan,
I would invent as bitter-searching terms,
As curst, as harsh, and horrible to hear,
Deliver'd strongly through my fixed teeth,
With full as many signs of deadly hate,
As lean-faced envy in her loathsome cave;
My tongue should stumble in my earnest words;
Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten flint;
My hair be fixed on end, as one distract."
