All places that the eye of heaven visits,

Are to a wise man ports, and happy havens:

Teach thy necessity to reason thus:

There is no virtue like necessity.

Think not, the king did banish thee;

But thou the king: woe doth heavier sit,

Where it perceives it is but faintly borne.

Go, say—I sent thee forth to purchase honour,

And not—the king exiled thee: or suppose,

Devouring pestilence hangs in our air,
