  • Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife,
    No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean,
    But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'?
    O friar, the damned use that word in hell;
    Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart,
    Being a divine, a ghostly confessor,
    A sin-absolver, and my friend professed,
    To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
