CONTEXT:
MARCUS ANDRONICUS
Now let hot Etna cool in Sicily,
And be my heart an ever-burning hell!
These miseries are more than may be borne.
To weep with them that weep doth ease some deal;
But sorrow flouted at is double death.
LUCIUS
Ah, that this sight should make so deep a wound,
And yet detested life not shrink thereat!
That ever death should let life bear his name,
Where life hath no more interest but to breathe!

DUTCH:
Dit leed is grooter dan te dragen is.
Meêschreien met die schreien brengt wel troost,
Maar leed, door hoon verscherpt, is dubb’le dood.
