ENMARK'S a prison.

Then the world is one.

A goodly one; in which there are many confines, wards and dungeons, Denmark being one o' the worst.

It holds his estimate and dignity
As well wherein 'tis precious of itself

But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;

As fearfully as doth a galled rock

O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
