152907A thou
sand
spleenes beare her a thou
sand wayes,
908She treads the path, that
she vntreads againe;
909Her more then ha
st, is mated with delayes,
910Like the proceedings of a drunken braine,
911 Full of respe
cts, yet naught at all respe
cting,
912 In hand with all things, naught at all e
ffe
cting.
153913Here kenneld in a brake,
she
finds a hound,
914And askes the wearie caiti
ffe for his mai
ster,
915And there another licking of his wound,
916Gain
st venimd
sores, the onely
soueraigne plai
ster.
917 And here
she meets another,
sadly skowling,
918 To whom
she
speaks, & he replies with howling.
154919When he hath cea
st his ill re
sounding noi
se,
920Another
flapmouthd mourner, blacke, and grim,
921Again
st the welkin, volies out his voyce,
922Another, and another, an
swer him,
923 Clapping their proud tailes to the ground below,
924 Shaking their
scratcht-eares, bleeding as they go.
155925Looke how, the worlds poore people are amazed,
926At apparitions,
signes, and prodigies,
927Whereon with feareful eyes, they long haue gazed,
928Infu
sing them with dreadfull prophecies;
929 So
she at the
se
sad
signes, drawes vp her breath,
930 And
sighing it againe, exclaimes on death.
