REVENGE.
Souls made of fire and children of the sun,
With whom Revenge is virtue.
The Revenge, Act V. DR. E. YOUNG
And if we do but watch the hour,
There never yet was human power
Which could evade, if unforgiven,
The patient search and vigil long
Of him who treasures up a wrong.
Mazeppa. LORD BYRON
Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand,
Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.
Titus Andronicus, Act ii. Sc. 3. SHAKESPEARE
If I can catch him once upon the hip,
I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.
Merchant of Venice, Act i. Sc. 3. SHAKESPEARE.
If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.
Merchant of Venice, Act iii. Sc.. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
Vengeance to God alone belongs;
But when I think on all my wrongs,
My blood is liquid flame.
Marmion, Canto VI. SIR W. SCOTT.
Revenge, at first though sweet,
Bitter ere long back on itself recoils.
Paradise Lost, Bk. IX. MILTON.
