And God have mercy on our souls

THOMAS.         Do you see those roofs and spires?
There sleep hypocrisy, porcous pomposity, greed,
Lust, vulgarity, cruelty, trickery, sham,
And all possible nitwittery—are you suggesting fifty
Years of that?

JENNET.          I was only suggesting fifty
Years of me.

One down, forty-nine to go.

which these cannot do,
For none of these is fuel, but fire too.

Thank you.
