With folded arms. This poor right hand of mine
\nIs left to tyrannize upon my breast,
\nWho, when my heart, all mad with misery,
\nBeats in this hollow prison of my flesh,
\nThen thus I thump it down.
\nTo Lavinia.
\nThou map of woe, that thus dost talk in signs!
\nWhen thy poor heart beats with outrageous beating,
\nThou canst not strike it thus to make it still.
\nWound it with sighing, girl, kill it with groans;
\nOr get some little knife between thy teeth,
\nAnd just against thy heart make thou a hole,
\nThat all the tears that thy poor eyes let fall
\nMay run into that sink, and soaking in,
\nDrown the lamenting fool in sea-salt tears.<\/p>\n
