When remedies are past, griefs are ended
By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended.
To mourn a mischief that is past and gone
Is the next way to draw new mischief on.
What cannot be preserved when fortune takes,
Patience her injury a mock’ry makes.
The robbed that smiles. steals something from the thief’,
He robs himself that spends a bootless grief.
(Act I, Scene Three, lines 200 – 207) 31.
