Edgar

The speaker warns someone to stay away from an old man, saying he will test whether the other person's head or his own club is harder. Looking down from a great height, the speaker sees fishermen on the beach like mice, a ship reduced to the size of its tiny lifeboat, and hears the sea's roar reduced to silence. Overcome with emotion at the man's plight, the speaker finds it difficult to continue his portrayal of sorrow.

Nay, come not near th old man; keep out, che vor ye, or ise try wither your

costard or my ballow be the harder. Chill be plain with you (4,6,234-237)

Come on, sir. Here s the place. Stand still. How fearful and dizzy tis to cast one s eyes so low! The crows and choughs that wing the midway air show scarce so gross as beetles. Halfway down hangs one that gathers sampire dreadful trade! methinks he seems no bigger than his head. The fishermen that walk upon the beach appear like mice. And yon tall anchoring bark, diminished to her cock, her cock a buoy almost too small for sight. The murmuring surge that on th' unnumbered idle pebbles chafes cannot be heard so high. I ll look no more lest my brain turn and the deficient sight topple down headlong. (4,6,11-24)

My tears begin to take his part so much, they mar my counterfeiting (3, 6, 59-60)
