We are so, for mine own part, however my outside Appear ungay, I have wrestled with death, Signior Martino, to preserve your sleeps, and such As you are untroubled, a soldier is in peace A mockery, a very town-bull for laughter, unthrifts, And landed babies, are prey-curmudgeons, Lay their baits for, let the wars rattle about Your ears once, and the security of a soldier is Right honourable amongst ye then, that day May shine again: so to my business. A soldier! thou a soldier, I do believe thouart lousy; that's a pretty sign I grant: A villainous poor Bandetti rather, one Can man a quean, and cant, and pick a pocket, Pad for a cloak, or hat, and in the dark Pistol a straggler for a quarter Ducat. A soldier! yes, a looks as if a had not The spirit of a herring, or a tumbler. Let age and dotage rage together, Levidolche thou art mine, on what conditions the world shall soon witness: yet since our hands joined, I have not interessed my possession of thy bed, nor till I have accounted to thy injunction, do I mean: kiss me quick and resolute. So adieu Signior. dear, for loves sake, stay. Forbear entreaties. Ah thou: but what? I know not how to call thee, fain would I smother grief, and out it must, My heart is broke, thou hast for many a day Been at a loss, and now art lost for ever: Lost, lost, without recovery. With pardon, Let me retain your sorrows. 'tis impossible, Despair of rising up to honest fame, Turns all the courses wild, and this last action Will roar thy infamy, than you are certainly Married forsooth, unto this new-come. Yes, and herein every hope is brought to life, Which long hath lain in deadness, I have once more Wedded Benatzi my divorced husband, Benatzi, this the man? No odd disguise Could guard him from discovery; 'tis he, The choice of my ambition, heaven preserve me Thankful for such a bounty; yet he dreams not Of this deceit, but let me die in speaking, If I repute not my success more happy Than any earthly blessing; oh sweet uncle, Rejoice with me, I am a faithful convert, And will redeem the stains of a foul name, By love and true obedience. Force of passion Shows me a child again, do Levidolche, Perform thy resolutions, those performed, I have been only steward for your welfare, You shall have all between ye. Join with me sir, Our plot requires much speed: we must be earnest, I'll tell ye what conditions threaten danger, Unless you intermediate; let us hasten, For fear we come too late. As thou intendest A virtuous honesty, I am thy second To any office, Levidolche witty, My Niece, my witty Niece. Let's slack no time sir. Kinsman and Ladies, have a little patience, All will be as you wish, I'll be your warrant, Fear nothing, Augia is a noble fellow, I leave ye; but be sure I am in hearing: Take courage.
