'Good friend, though hast no cause to say so yet:
But thou shall have; and creep time ne'er so slow,

The very passage he quoted seemed, to my eyes, rather a
_corroboration_ of the theory, than an _argument against
it_! I might, I think, have quoted the remainder of Lear's speech
ending with the words "Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill," and,
with the exception of three words, consisting _entirely_ of
monosyllables, and one or two other passages. But I have written
enough to express my meaning.
