origin


 

 

In two of its five occurrences, 'origin' collocates with 'nature' in metrically similar environments:

 

Ham.1.4.26  Since nature cannot choose his origin

KiL.4.2.32   That nature which contemns it origin

'Nature' is a very common word, occurring 449x or once every 2,000 words. Even so, the later passage is probably an echo of the earlier.
