Th' expense of spirit in a waste of shame <\/span><\/div>\n

Is perjured, murd'rous, bloody, full of blame, <\/span><\/div>\n

Enjoyed no sooner but despis\u00e8d straight, <\/span><\/div>\n
Past reason hunted; and, no sooner had <\/span><\/div>\n
Past reason hated as a swallowed bait <\/span><\/div>\n
On purpose laid to make the taker mad; <\/span><\/div>\n
Mad in pursuit and in possession so, <\/span><\/div>\n
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; <\/span><\/div>\n
A bliss in proof and proved, a very woe; <\/span><\/div>\n
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream. <\/span><\/div>\n
    All this the world well knows; yet none knows well <\/span><\/div>\n
    To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.<\/span><\/div>\n
