> Is this Hoffman thingy supposed to be in verse, for pete's sake?
Actually, I may have made it worse than it is (which is bad enough), as I
realise the Questia text conflates the dialogue with the stage directions.
>> But thou deare soule, whose nerues and artires
>> In dead resoundings summon vp reuenge,
>> And thou shalt hate, be but appeas'd sweete hearse,
>> The dead remembrance of my liuing father, strikes ope a curtaine
>> And with a hart as aire, swift as thought where appeares a body.
>> I'le execute iustly in such a cause. 10
Should read:
But thou deare soule, whose nerues and artires
In dead resoundings summon vp reuenge,
And thou shalt hate, be but appeas'd sweete hearse,
The dead remembrance of my liuing father,
[strikes ope a curtaine where appeares a body.
And with a hart as aire, swift as thought
I'le execute iustly in such a cause.
A Remorseful Rodent
