gall

Romeo and Juliet
- Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs; Being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears: What is it else? a madness most discreet, A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.†
Scene 1.1
- I will withdraw: but this intrusion shall, Now seeming sweet, convert to bitter gall.†
Scene 1.5 *
