Fardels
Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life;
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will;
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act III. Scene 1. (Soliloquy.) See “Conscience.”
