That nest of traitors strangled in the birth,

Now labors to make Luria (poor device

As plain) the instrument of her revenge!

—That she is ever at his ear to prompt

Inordinate conceptions of his worth,

Exorbitant belief in worth's reward,

And after, when sure disappointment follows,

Proportionable rage at such a wrong—

Why, all these reasons, while I urge them most,

Weigh with me less than least; as nothing weigh.
