My reformation, glittring oer my fault,
Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.”

No sullen tropic sun shall wither
The roses in the rose-garden which is ours and ours only”

Hath but a losing office, and his tongue
Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,
Remembered tolling a departing friend.”
