As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have; but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not" (5.3.25-28).
William ShakespeareRead
Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie,_x000D_ _x000D_ And young affection gapes to be his heir;_x000D_ _x000D_ That fair for which love groan'd for and would die,_x000D_ _x000D_ With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.
