EXCERPT: But I am pigeon-liver’d, and lack gall
To make oppression bitter, or ere this
I should have fatted all the region kites
With this slave’s offal. Bloody, bawdy villain!
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!
O! vengeance!
Why, what an a** am I! This is most brave
That I, the son of a dear father murder’d,
Prompted to my revenge by heaven and heII,
Must, like a wh*re, unpack my heart with words,
And fall a-cursing, like a very drab,
A scullion!
