Curs'd be I that did so! All the charms Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you! For I am all the subjects that you have, Which first was mine own king."

"Knowing I lov’d my books, he furnish’d me, From mine own library, with volumes that I prize above my dukedom."

"My library Was dukedom large enough."

"Like one Who having unto truth, by telling of it, Made such a sinner of his memory, To credit his own lie."

"I, thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated To closeness, and the bettering of my mind"
