Excerpt from Tilbury Nogo
Fortune is Bardolph"s foe, and frowns on him.
Henry V.
To fling the billows from the drenched hair,
And laugh from off the lip the audacious brine;
And then to plunge, with wanton spirit, down
Into their green and glassy gulfs.
It is the prevailing cant of the day, to uphold intensity of purpose and force of will as being equal to and commensurate with energy of mind and power of body. Had it but been so, I, Tilbury Nogo, might truly have achieved success; but, alas! like the comforter and consoler of Sempronius, I can only congratulate myself on having deserved it.
