A true repentance shuns the evil itself, more than the external suffering or the shame.
The means that heaven yields must be embraced, and not neglected; else, if heaven would, and we will not heaven's offer, we refuse the proffered means of succor and redress.
The daintiest last, to make the end most sweet.
Though it be honest, it is never good to bring bad news.
Thou weedy elf-skinned canker-blossom!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
