To take their rooms, ere I can place myself:

A cold premeditation for my purpose!

Why, then, I do but dream on sovereignty;

135 Like one that stands upon a promontory,

And spies a far-off shore where he would tread,

Wishing his foot were equal with his eye,

And chides the sea that sunders him from thence,

[♦] Saying, he’ll lade it dry to have his way:

140 So do I wish the crown, being so far off;

[♦] And so I chide the means that keeps me from it;
