126 Ay, that I had not done a thousand more.<\/p>\n

127 Even now I curse the day\u2014and yet, I think,<\/p>\n

128 Few come within the compass of my curse\u2014<\/p>\n

129 Wherein I did not some notorious ill,<\/p>\n

130 As kill a man, or else devise his death;<\/p>\n

131 Ravish a maid or plot the way to do it;<\/p>\n

132 Accuse some innocent and forswear myself;<\/p>\n

133 Set deadly enmity between two friends;<\/p>\n

134 Make poor men\u2019s cattle break their necks;<\/p>\n

135 Set fire on barns and haystalks in the night,<\/p>\n

136 And bid the owners quench them with their tears.<\/p>\n

137 Oft have I digged up dead men from their graves<\/p>\n

138 And set them upright at their dear friends\u2019 door,<\/p>\n

139 Even when their sorrows almost was forgot,<\/p>\n

140 And on their skins, as on the bark of trees,<\/p>\n

141 Have with my knife carv\u00e8d in Roman letters<\/p>\n

142 \u201cLet not your sorrow die, though I am dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

143 But I have done a thousand dreadful things<\/p>\n

144 As willingly as one would kill a fly,<\/p>\n

145 And nothing grieves me heartily indeed<\/p>\n

146 But that I cannot do ten thousand more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
