A substitute shines brightly as a king, Until a king be by
A surfeit of the sweetest things the deepest loathing of the stomach brings
A wretched soul bruised with adversity,We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;But were we burdened with like weight of pain,As much, or more, we should ourselves complain.

A hundred thousand welcomes. I could weep / And I could laugh, I am light and heavy. / Welcome.
You yourself - Are much condemn'd to have an itching palm
Your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.
You, mistress, That have the office opposite to Saint Peter, And keep the gate of hell!
