Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song,
That old and antique song we heard last night.

Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song,
That old and antique song we heard last night.
Methought it did relieve my passion much,
More than light airs and recollected terms
Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times.
Come, but one verse.
Some of us will smart for it. -Much Ado about Nothing. Act v. Sc. 1.
Some of us will smart for it. -Much Ado about Nothing. Act v. Sc. 1.
O Lord! methought what pain it was to drown!
What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears!

O Lord! methought what pain it was to drown!
What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears!
What sights of ugly death within mine eyes!
Methoughts I saw a thousand fearful wracks;
A thousand men that fishes gnawed upon;
Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl,
Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels,
All scatt'red in the bottom of the sea:
Some lay in dead men's skulls, and in the holes
Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept
(As 'twere in scorn of eyes) reflecting gems,
That wooed the slimy bottom of the deep
And mocked the dead bones that lay scatt'red by.
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. -King Henry V. Act iv. Sc. 3.
