He
That kills himself to avoid misery, fears it,
And, at the best, shows but a bastard valour.

But he that boldly bears calamity.

But if there be an hereafter,
And that there is, conscience, uninfluenc'd

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?

If you like not hanging, drown yourself;
Take some course for your reputation.
