Context
“I never saw one so prone. Yet, on my conscience, there are
verier knaves desire to live, for all he be a Roman; and there be some of them too that die against their wills; so should I, if I were One. I would we were all of one mind, and one mind good. O,
There were desolation of gaolers and gallowses! I speak against my
present profit, but my wish hath a preferment in't. Exit
SCENE V. Britain.” source
