I am ashamed the law is such an ass.

Disputed Revenge for Honour (1654)

All the soul
Of man is resolution; which expires
Never from valiant men, till their last breath;
And then with it, like a flame extinguish’d
For want of matter; it does not die, but
Rather ceases to live.

Disputed Revenge for Honour (1654)

Our hopes, I see, resemble much the sun,
That rising and declining cast large shadows;
But when his beams are dressed in's midday brightness,
Yields none at all: when they are farthest from
Success, their guilt reflection does display
The largest shows of events fair and prosperous.
