That stabb’d me in the field by Tewksbury:

Seize on him, Furies, take him to your torments!”

With that, methought, a legion of foul fiends

Environ’d me about, and howled in mine ears

Such hideous cries, that with the very noise

I trembling waked, and for a season after

Could not believe but that I was in hell,

Such terrible impression made the dream.
