Or e’er I’ll weep.—O Fool, I shall go mad!
—King Lear, Act ii., Sc. 4.

Gratiano. Let me play the fool:
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come,
And let my liver rather heat with wine
Than my heart cool with mortifying groans.
Why should a man, whose blood is warm within,
Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster?
