Text Appearing Before Image:
spair ;A third, nor red nor white, had stolen of both,And to his robbery had annexed thy breath ;But for his theft, in pride of all his growthA vengeful canker eat him up to death. More flowers I noted, yet I none could see,But sweet or color it had stolen from thee. 554 WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. THE ABUSE OF AUTHORITY. Measure for Measure, Act II, Scene 2. O, it is excellentTo have a giants strength; but it is tyrannousTo use it like a giant. Could great men thunderAs Jove himself does, Jove would neer be quiet;For every pelting, petty officerWould use his heaven for thunder: nothing butthunder. Merciful Heaven ! Thou rather, with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt, Splittst the unwedgeable and gnarled oak Than the soft myrtle: But man, proud man, Dressed in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what hes most assured,— His glassy essence,—like an angry ape. Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven As make the angels weep: who, with our spleens. Would all themselves laugh mortal.
