I rid the empire of this blot. ’Tis this.

I will have no more tolls or tallages,

Customs or duties levied: nay, not one

Through all the empire. I will make this present

To the human race: I say, their old vexation

And burden shall away.

TIGELLINUS.

Magnificent.

Sen. ’Tis generously meant, most generously.

But is it possible?
