Done


All may do what has by man been done. Dr. Young.—Night VI. Line 606, and ante 23. Ante 26, Title “Be.”	1
Hast thou begun an act? ne’er then give o’er; No man despairs to do what’s done before. Herrick.—Hesperides, Aphorism, No. 142.	2
If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well It were done quickly: If the assassination Could trammel up the consequence, and catch, With his surcease, success; that but this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all, here, But here, upon this bank and shoal of time, We’d jump the life to come.—But in these cases, We still have judgment here; that we but teach Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return To plague the inventor: This even-handed justice Commends the ingredients of our poison’d chalice To our own lips.—He’s here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murtherer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself. Shakespeare.—Macbeth, Act I. Scene 7. (Solus.)	3
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Solomon.—Proverbs, Chap. iii. Ver. 29.	4
