Rich. It has the falling sickness, Albemarle,

And now lies low as earth.

Alb. Then set thy foot

Upon it that it rise no more.

Rich. 'Tis done.

Alb. What fools are they who think that dying men

Speak oracles to pivot action on,

When death's decay so blurs each fading sense

They know but darkly of the world about,

And of realities all plain to us
