He hath not a heart and a heart, he is not a man and a man; there is a harmony between his thoughts and resolutions, between his speeches and his actions, they all sweetly accord together: what he thinks and resolves on, that he speaks; what he speaks, that he writes; what he writes and speaks, that he doth: he is one man in all, he doth not deal doubly.
He hath not a heart and a heart, he is not a man and a man; there is a harmony between his thoughts and resolutions, between his speeches and his actions, they all sweetly accord together: what he thinks and resolves on, that he speakes; what he speakes, that he writes; what he writes and speaks, that he doth: he is one man in all, he doth not deal doubly.
