ANTONIO: Some men have wish'd to die At the hearing of sad tidings; I am glad That I shall do't in sadness: I would not now Wish my wounds balm'd nor heal'd, for I have no use To put my life to. In all our quest of greatness, Like wanton boys, whose pastime is their care, We follow after bubbles blown in th' air. Pleasure of life, what is't? Only the good hours Of an ague; merely a preparative to rest To endure vexation.
John Webster (1575? 1578? 1580? -1634? 1638?), from The Duchess of Malfi, 1612-1613, Act V, Scene 4
