In every deed of mischief he had a heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute.
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Silence is the best resolve for him who distrusts himself.
Wise to resolve, and patient to perform.
