Christian. Death.
Christian | |
Alas, poore Death, where is thy glorie?
Where is thy famous force, thy ancient sting? |
Death | |
Alas poore mortall, void of storie,
Go spell and reade how I have kill’d thy King. |
Christian | |
Poore death and who was hurt thereby?
Thy curse being laid on him, makes thee accurst. |
Death | |
Let losers talk: yet thou shalt die;
These arms shall crush thee. |
Christian | |
Spare not, do thy worst,
I shall be one day better then before:
Thou so much worse, that thou shalt be no more.
