II. i. 1. O sovereign mistress of true melancholy, The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me; That life, a very rebel to my will, May hang no longer on me; throw my heart Against the flint and hardness of my fault; Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder, I pull in resolution; and begin To doubt the equivocation of the fiend, O.
