Or if blood Must only satisfy, let your sword here bathe in revenge, the greatest sinner kill If men were not, what woman could be ill. Your fears thus vanish, I delight not in The bloody sacrify, live both. A miracle But i'll do more than kill you— take my love off. I do desire never to see you more, Nor will I be a Courtier to occasion Meeting hereafter, what is done is circled Within our knowledge, pray, farewell, for you I do desire never to bed thee more I'll force some smiles to keep suspicion off But fear I never shall love heartily Again, thou hast undone me here, Clariana And yet I won't wish thee dead for this Repent and when I die ask for a kiss. Not at the Court? why he desired I should meet him here The Duke hath often asked for him He waits well in the mean time, who in the name of wantonness keeps him away, I know 'tis a wench, 'tis a perilous boy, my own son to a hair, and he should not love a woman I would disinherit him, for I am of opinion an atheist sometime is better than an Eunuch, And yet cannot the Court find him game enough, but he must leap the pale and straggle so far for Venison, that the Duke must hunt after him; and he were not my own flesh and blood, I would counsel him to marry, but they are dangerous, and a disease is more curable than a wife, for she indeed is a hectic fever although I buried mine seven year ago, yet I feel a grudging of her still, and for a need could guess at the change of weather by the knowledge her noise has infused into my bones. The Duke. Some one look out Hippolito If please your grace let it be my employment Signior Bonaldo? Your highness' humble servant, I am sorry my son should be absent, when your grace has service for him, but I'll find him out, I am acquainted with two or three of his haunts I know a Tavern is next door to a— To a what? It has a course name No matter: To a bawdy-house That's not impossible To find him there, I cannot help it? He loves him the better for't 'tis a trick he learned in France sir, where your nobility practice, he will leave it, when Capering and Kissing are out of fashion with Gentlemen Oh he is young, I have heard you were as wild at his Years, And wilder too I should be sorry else How? I had ne'er broke my wife's heart else, with supping abroad and midnight revels, I should ha' been troubled with her till this time She was a shrew it seems? but you promise actively still? Not much for the cross point, But with your highness' licence, I'll find out Hippolito To attend your pleasure.
