“Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety.”
“When I shun Scylla, your father, I fall into Charybdis, your mother.”
“For though I am not splenitive and rash, Yet have I something in me dangerous.”
“Upon this hint I spake; She loved me for the dangers I had passed And I loved her that she did pity them.”
“We have scotched the snake, not killed it: She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice Remains in danger of our former tooth.”
