PART III - SHAKESPEARE AND SELF-GOVERNMENT
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 July 2010
Summary
Weakness is thy excuse,
And I believe it, weakness to resist
Philistian gold: if weakness may excuse,
What murderer, what traitor, parricide,
Incestuous, sacrilegious, but may plead it?
All wickedness is weakness: that plea therefore
With God or man will gain thee no remission.
Samson Agonistes, 829–35- Type
