Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.

Are stuck upon thee…thousand escapes of wit
Make thee the father of their idle dreams
And rack thee in their fancies.

O villains, vipers, damn’d without redemption!
Dogs, easily won to fawn on any man!
Snakes, in my heart-blood warm’d, that sting my heart!
