Absolutely. Of course, now you must tell me whether you think this an
adequate rendering of:
"... must give us pause. [cause us to hesitate] There's the respect
[consideration]
that makes calamity of so long life [makes those afflicted by calamity willing
to endure it for so long]."
Glosses from the New Penguin Shakespeare edition.
(I intended "make us continue to endure", but of course -taH and -moH order
are fixed in Hol).
