“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But O, what damned minutes tells he o'er
Who dotes, yet doubts--suspects, yet strongly loves!”

Should Jealousy its venom once diffuse,

But agony unmix'd, incessant gall,
Corroding every thought, and blasting all
Love's paradise.”
