Marlowe.

Will without power, the element of hell,

Abortive all its acts returning still

Upon itself; ... oh! anguish terrible!

Meet guerdon of self-love, its proper ill!

Malice would scowl upon the foe he fears;

And he with lip of scorn would seek to kill;

But neither sees the other, neither hears—

For darkness each in his own dungeon bars,

Lust pines for dearth, and grief drinks its own tears—
