Pal. You have made me

(I thank you, cousin Arcite) almost wanton

With my captivity; what a misery

It is to live abroad, and every where!

’Tis like a beast, methinks! I find the court here,

I’m sure a more content; and all those pleasures,

That woo the wills of men to vanity,

I see thro’ now: and am sufficient

To tell the world, ’tis but a gaudy shadow

That old time, as he passes by, takes with him.
