All places that the eye of heaven visits, Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. f. Henry 11. Act I. Sc. 3.

Father cardinal, I have heard you say, That we shall see and know our friends in heaven:

If that be true, I shall see my boy again; For, since the birth of Cain, the first male child,

To him that did but yesterday suspire, There was not such a gracious creature born.

Before the porch itself, within the jaws of Hell, Grief and avenging Cares have placed their couches; there dwell pale Diseases, sorrowing Age, Despondency, and ill-prompting Hunger, and loathsome Want, shapes terrible to see: Death, and Labour, and Sleep, twin-born with Death, and the criminal Lusts of the heart, and death bringing War near the opening door; and the iron bedchambers of the Furies and maddening Discord, her viper's tresses bound up with bloody fillets.

Infect thy sap, and live on thy confusion.
