the life of a single human being is worth a million time more than all the property of the richest man on earth.
Had I but served my God with half the zeal. I served my king, he would not in mine age. Have left me naked to mine enemies.
Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
Yet seemed it winter still, and you away,
As with your shadow I with these did play.
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you.
