I cannot challenge her, but she has let fall Something to make me hope, how think you she's Affected to Antonio? May be Luke warm as yet, but soon as as she's caught, Inevitably his, without prevention. For my own part I hate him in whom lives A will to wrong a Gentleman, for he was Acquainted with your love, 'twas my respect To tender so your injury, I could not Be silent in it. what you mean to do I leave to your own thoughts. Oh stay sweet Lady, leave me not to struggle Alone with this universal affliction; You speak even now Berinthia would be his Without prevention, oh that Antidote, That balsam to my wound. Alas I pity you, and the more, because I see your troubles so amaze your judgement, I'll tell you my opinion sir o'th' sudden; For him, he is not worth Valasco's anger; Only thus, you shall discover to my Father, She promised you her love, be confident To say you did exchange faith to her; this alone May chance assure her, and if not I have't: Steal her away, your love I see is honourable, So much I suffer when desert is wounded, You shall have my assistance, you apprehend me, I am devoted yours, command me ever. Keep smooth your face, and still maintain your worship With Berinthia, things must be managed And struck in the maturity, noble sir; I wish You only fortunate in Berinthia's love. Words are too poor to thank you, I look on you As my safe guiding star. But I shall prove a wandering star, I have A course which I must finish for myself. Glide on thou subtle mover, thou hast brought This instrument already for thy aims, Sister, I'll break a serpent's egg betimes, And tear Antonio from thy very bosom, Love is above all law of nature, blood, Not what men call, but what that bides is good. Be not so careful coz, your brothers well. Be confident if he were otherwise You should have notice, whom hath he to share Fortunes without you? all his ills are made Less by your bearing part, his good is doubled By your communicating. By this reason All is not well, in that my ignorance What fate hath happened, bars me off the portion Belongs to me sister, but my care Is so much greater, in that Diego whom I charged to put on wings, if all were well, Is dull in his return. His Master happily hath commanded him To attend him homewards, this is recompensed Already, look they are come; You're welcome sir. Oh sister, ere you let fall words of welcome, Let me unlade a treasure in your ear Able to weigh down man. What treasure brother, you amaze me, Never was man so blessed, As heavens had studied to enrich me here, So am I fortunate. You make me covetous. I have a friend.
