More quotes by Thomas Kyd

Oh eyes, no eyes, but fountains fraught with tears;
Oh life, no life, but lively form of death;
Oh world, no world, but mass of public wrongs,
Confused and filled with murder and misdeeds.

What outcries pluck me from my naked bed
And chill my throbbing heart with trembling fear.

But gold doth more than either of them both.

The Spanish Tragedy (1592)

Thus must we toil in other men's extremes,
That know not how to remedy our own.
