“I myself have all the other,
And the very ports they blow;
All the quarters that they know
I’ th’ shipman’s card.
I’ll drain him dry as hay.
Sleep shall neither night nor day
Hang upon his penthouse lid.
He shall live a man forbid.
Weary sev’nnights, nine times nine,
Shall he dwindle, peak, and pine.
Though his bark cannot be lost,
Yet it shall be tempest-tossed.
Look what I have.”

wracked as a homeward he did come.”

Thus do go about, about”

An absolute trust.”

To make thee full of growing --- Noble Banquo,

No less to have done so, let me enfold thee
And hold thee to my heart.”

On which I must fall down or else o’erleap,
For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires;
Let not light see my black and deep desires.”

It is too full o’th’ milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way, Thou wouldst be great”
