Could not, with all their quantity of love,
Make up my sum. What wilt thou do for her?...

Woo't drink up eisel? eat a crocodile?

To outface me with leaping in her grave?
Be buried quick with her, and so will I:
And, if thou prate of mountains, let them throw
Millions of acres on us, till our ground,
Singeing his pate against the burning zone,
Make Ossa like a wart! Nay, an thou'lt mouth,
I'll rant as well as thou.”
