Later on, when Antonio and Shylock are in court, and Shylock has every right under the law to exact his revenge upon Antonio, the latter laments his predicament as if he were an innocent lamb to be slaughtered. Shylock attempts to convince the others of his perspective by relating Antonio to a rat, for which he would “give ten thousand ductats to have it baned” (ll. 45-46, Act 4,…

There was also no question that I would be there. As I made my trek, I couldn’t help but think of a scene from the movie Rocky II. It was when Rocky Balboa laments to his former trainer Mickey that despite being retired, he still needed to be around boxing and the gym. In so doing, Rocky takes up a broom and is willing to empty spit buckets, if that’s what it takes. It’s ironic the things we will do to get…

Form—Psalms 12 starts as a lament by David crying out for help; summoning Yahweh to intervene (v.1). In v. 1-4 David makes his complaint and reason for the prayer of help (describing the wickedness of all), with an answer after every statement on what the Lord should do to those that commit the action described.
