Both Uses of
oblivion
in
All's Well That Ends Well
- Where dust and damn'd oblivion is the tomb
Of honour'd bones indeed.
Scene 2.3 *oblivion = the state of being completely forgotten
- —Well, call him hither;— We are reconcil'd, and the first view shall kill All repetition:—let him not ask our pardon; The nature of his great offence is dead, And deeper than oblivion do we bury Th' incensing relics of it; let him approach, A stranger, no offender; and inform him, So 'tis our will he should.†
