The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare: That the life-wearie-taker may fall dead,
And that the Trunke may be discharg'd of breath,
As violently, as hastie powder fier'd
Doth hurry from the fatall Canons wombe
App. Such mortall drugs I haue, but Mantuas law
Is death to any he, that vtters them
Rom. Art thou so bare and full of wretchednesse,
And fear'st to die? Famine is in thy cheekes,
Need and opression starueth in thy eyes,
Contempt and beggery hangs vpon thy backe:
The world is not thy friend, nor the worlds law:
 Romeo and Juliet |
