Macbeth
- Thou seest, the heavens, as troubled with man's act,
Threaten his bloody stage: by the clock 'tis day,
And yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp;
Is't night's predominance, or the day's shame,
That darkness does the face of earth entomb,
When living light should kiss it?†
Scene 2.2
- ... Do you find
Your patience so predominant in your nature,
That you can let this go?
