"VAL.
Still is it the false coinage of my fears?
Ah! hearing, sight, and every sense is now
False and deceitful grown. I'll sit me down,
And think no more, but let the black hour pass
In still and fixed stupor o'er my head.",2009-09-14 19:49:36 UTC,"""Still is it the false coinage of my fears?""",2009-02-26 00:00:00 UTC,"Act V, Scene ii","",,Coinage,"","Searching ""Coinage"" in HDIS (Poetry)",17261,6489
"It matters not, though gen'rous in their nature,
They yet may serve a most ungen'rous end;
And he who teaches men to think, though nobly,
Doth raise within their minds a busy judge
To scan his actions. Send thine agents forth,
And sound it in their ears how much Count Basil
Affects all difficult and desp'rate service,
To raise his fortunes by some daring stroke;
Having unto the emperor pledg'd his word,
To make his troops all dreadful hazards brave:
For which intent he fills their simple minds
With idle tales of glory and renown;
Using their warm attachment to himself
For most unworthy ends.
This is the busy time; go forth, my friend;
Mix with the soldiers, now in jolly groups
Around their ev'ning cups. There, spare no cost.
[Gives him a purse.]
Observe their words, see how the poison takes,
And then return again.

Give it any name you please .... I saw you brought in chains before Pizarro .... I saw in you the heroism of an ancient Roman .... your chains then dropped from your wrists, and fixed my heart .... I resolved to save you .... with me to resolve, is to act .... I felt, and as I felt I acted.
