I could not help, as I passed from squalid kitchen to kitchen that Sunday afternoon, feeling Lear's words ring through my mind: O, I have ta'en Too little care of this. Take physic, pomp, Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, That thou mayst shake the superflux to them, And show the heavens more just.
In Anactoria she tells the object of her infatuation: I would my love could kill thee: I am satiated With seeing thee alive, and fain would have thee dead. * I would find grievous ways to have thee slain, Intense device and superflux of pain.

Since then the condition of the poor there has been steadily growing worse, which is sure to be heard of in the papers. "Take physic, pomp! Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel; That thou mayst shake the superflux to them, And show the Heavens more just." King Lear.
