With eager compounds we our palate urge;

And, sick of welfare, found a kind of meetness
To be diseas'd, ere that there was true needing.

Samos the rude, and Ithaca between,
The chief of all her suitors thy return
In

To slay thee, ere thou reach thy native shore,
But shall not, as I judge, till the earth hide 40
Many a lewd reveller at thy expence.

easier to play effectively than my later plays, depending less upon the
players and more upon the producer, both having been
imagined
more for
variety of stage-picture than variety of mood in the player.
