Ghost. Threaten others with that word:
I am a ghost, and am already dead.[166]
King. Ye stars! 'tis well. Were thy last hour to come,
This moment had been it; yet by thy shroud[167]
I'll pull thee backward, squeeze thee to a bladder,
Till thou dost groan thy nothingness away.
Thou fly'st! 'Tis well. [Ghost retires.
I thought what was the courage of a ghost![168]
Yet, dare not, on thy life—Why say I that,
Since life thou hast not?—Dare not walk again
