    • By heaven methinks it were an easy leap
    To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon;
    Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
    Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
    And pluck up drowned honour by the locks;
    So he that doth redeem her thence might wear
    Without corrival all her dignities:
    But out upon this half-facd fellowship!
