Shakespeare:<\/p>\n

Why, there, there, there, there! a diamond gone,<\/span>
\ncost me two thousand ducats in Frankfort! The curse<\/span>
\nnever fell upon our nation till now; I never felt it<\/span>
\ntill now: two thousand ducats in that; and other<\/span>
\nprecious, precious jewels. I would my daughter<\/span>
\nwere dead at my foot, and the jewels in her ear!<\/span>
\nwould she were hearsed at my foot, and the ducats in<\/span>
\nher coffin! No news of them? Why, so: and I know<\/span>
\nnot what’s spent in the search: why, thou loss upon<\/span>
\nloss! the thief gone with so much, and so much to<\/span>
\nfind the thief; and no satisfaction, no revenge:<\/span>
\nnor no in luck stirring but what lights on my<\/span>
\nshoulders; no sighs but of my breathing; no tears<\/span>
\nbut of my shedding.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>Thoron:<\/p>\n

Why there, there, there, there, a diamond gone, cost me two thousand ducats in Frankfurt.\u00a0 The curse never fell upon our Nation until now, I never felt it until now. Two thousand ducats in that diamond, and other precious, precious jewels. I would my daughter were dead at my feet, and the jewels in her ears: would she were entombed at my feet, and the ducats inside her coffin.\u00a0 No news of them, why so? And I don\u2019t know how much is spent in the search.\u00a0 Why you — loss upon loss!\u00a0 The thief has gone taking so much, yet it takes so much to find the thief, and no satisfaction, no revenge.\u00a0 No, there\u2019s no ill luck stirring but what lands on my shoulders, no sighs but my own breathing, no tears but those I shed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
