Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek! Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown Doth add more grief to too much of mine own. Which monologue inspires you the most? The pox of such antic, lisping, affecting fantasticoes; these new tuners of accents!
