A hundred thousand—and at last be saved!

Oh, no end’s limited to damnèd souls.

Why wert thou not a creature wanting soul?

Or why was this immortal that thou hast?

Ah, Pythagoras’ metempsychosis, were that true,

This soul should fly from me, and I be changed

Unto some brutish beast! All beasts are happy,

For when they die

Their souls are soon dissolved in elements;

But mine must live still to be plagued in Hell!
