    Make us pay down for our offense by weight
    The words of heaven; on whom it will, it will,
    On whom it will not, so: yet still 'tis just.

Merciful heaven,
Thou rather with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt
Splits the unwedgeable and gnarled oak
Than the soft myrtle; but man, proud man,

Most ignorant of what he's most assured
His glassy essence--like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,
would all themselves laugh mortal.

Laid widow'd of the power in his eye
That bow'd the will.
