Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!

Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquered; beautys ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And deaths pale flag is not advanced there.”

“Its not the bullet with my name on it that worries me. Its the one that says To whom it may concern.”
