SCENE V.
&plquo;Tim.
&plquo;That nature being sick of man's unkindness,
&plquo;Should yet be hungry! Common mother, thou
&plquo;1 noteWhose womb unmeasurable, and infinite breast
&plquo;Teems, and feeds all; oh thou! whose self-same mettle
&plquo;(Whereof thy proud child, arrogant man, is puft)
&plquo;Engenders the black toad, and adder blue,
&plquo;The gilded newt, and eyeless venom'd worm;
&plquo;With all th' abhorred births 2 notebelow cript heav'n,
&plquo;Whereon Hyperion's quickning fire doth shine;
&plquo;Yield him, who all thy human sons does hate,
&plquo;From forth thy plenteous bosom, one poor root!
&plquo;Ensear thy fertile and conceptious womb;
&plquo;3 note
Let it no more bring out to ingrateful man.
&plquo;Go great with tygers, dragons, wolves and bears,
&plquo;Teem with new monsters, 4 notewhom thy upward-face
-- 215 --
&plquo;Hath to the marbled mansion all above
&plquo;Never presented—O, a root—dear thanks!
&plquo;5 note
Dry up thy harrow'd veins, and plough-torn leas,
&plquo;Whereof ingrateful man with liqu'rish draughts
&plquo;And morsels unctious, greases his pure mind,
&plquo;That from it all consideration slips.—&prquo;
