What is the name of the Shakespearean play from which the following lines are excerpted? "Lie with her! lie on her! We say ‘lie on her,’ when / they belie her. Lie with her! ’Swounds, that’s fulsome! / Handkerchief—confessions—handkerchief! To confess, and be / hanged for his labour. First, to be hanged, and then to confess! / I tremble at it. Nature would not invest herself in such shadowing / passion without some instruction. It is not words that / shake me thus. Pish! Noses, ears, and lips! Is’t possible? / Confess? Handkerchief? O devil! [He falls down in a trance:]."
