    One drop would save my soul—half a drop! ah, my Christ!—

    Yet will I call on him!—O, spare me, Lucifer!—

    Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his ireful brows!—
    Mountains and hills, come, come and fall on me,
    And hide me from the heavy wrath of God!”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
