: "There is no evil in life for him that
hath well conceived, how the privation of life is no evil.
To know how to die, doth free us from all subjection and
constraint." "No man did ever prepare himself to quit the
world more simply and fully ... than I am fully assured I
shall do. The deadest deaths are the best"

[196] In all probability this character existed in the
previous play, the name being originally, as was suggested
last century by Dr. Farmer, a mere variant of "Canibal."
