was shakespeare
obsessed?
obsession
passion
be wise as thou art cruel: do not press
my tongue-tied patience with too much disdain;
lest sorrow lend me words and words express
the manner of my pity-wanting pain.
if I might teach thee wit, better it were,
though not to love, yet, love, to tell me so;
as testy sick men, when their deaths be near,
no news but health from their physicians know;
for is I should despair, I should grow mad,
and in my madness might speak ill of thee:
now this ill-wresting world is grown so bad,
mad slanderers by mad ears believed be,
that I may not be so, nor thou belied,
bear thine eyes straight, though thy proud heart go wide
