Like a petard ill lighted, unto the bosom
Of himn gave fire to it.

But if thou want it, buy it not too deare
Many affecting wit beyond their power,
Have got to be a deare fool for an houre.

Hoist with his own petar, and 't shall go hard
But I will delve one yard below their mines
And blow them at the moon.

and in their next lives
larks and birds will become
those who've cut off
larks' tongues and bird wings.
