And now a question. Later on in that well known quotation there are the lines:
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life
Assuming that this is not referring to some deviant sexual practice, does anybody know what this means?
I bet Fluffy will
When he himself might his quietus make
(When one might escape)
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear
(By means of a knife? Who would burdens bear)
To grunt and sweat under a weary life
(To groan and sweat under a tired life)
its to do with life and death as far sa I know
