Defer your visitation till tomorrow, or late sometime tonight: I am yet unfit, this sudden trouble has made me not myself. Nay, you must go; I have sworn you shall, and (that presently. I pray you pardon me, I will not be denied, refuse me now and ever. You'll have your humour still? What, eschew acquaintanceship? forget, After my most hearty commendations, my very trusty friend, 'Twere sin and shame Tomaso. But some other time. This time, sometime, other times, and all times, this day, yesterday, t'other day, and every day; no hour amiss, march on, march on. I could launch my Dagger through my side, at one easy throw: beggar my friend; subvert mine own estate, and undo her, by whom I hope to climb, accursed, brainless slave: could the damned Devil with all his firebrands, beat into my pate no sounder subtlety. I had, I had relief, Fool vaunt of that? boast what thou hadst? or might have? 'tis past, 'tis gone, my villain self, confounded has myself, and him that did sustain me: What chokes Corn sooner than side-feed weeds, Who ofter does man wrong than he afeeds: Let me ponder; have I no other invention? No trick to take away my life, after my means: Study upon't, I'm struck upon a sand, Swallowed, devoured, through wilful ignorance, Never to rise again: 'tis a villain's cast, First to sink others, them himself at last. You cannot blame me neither: For love himself undertook more for love; Had you been tangled in a Labyrinth more intricate Than held the minotaur, or have been By Enchantments bound to servitude, My life's adventure had my love expressed, And offered the release. Our plighted amities will dwell in me While life endures; the many winters, & the tedious hours We two have spent alone, alone Vallentius, When nothing but what was not fit the Sun Should look upon,— Alack my Husband. It must not be denied, I'll maintain't before the Synod, here's my witness: was't not well done of brave Caligula to make his horse a Senator? deny't, deny't, would not a good horse show well among a team of Asses: ha, what think you: give me another sword: O noble Hector, look, Achilles flies, and bloody Pyrrhus shrinks. Alas, alas. What news, what news? Gentlemen he takes me for a Carrier: You are deceived sir, I am not the party. Will Pluto keep his word, shall all extortioners, engrossers, usurers, be finely damned, of what kind soe'er? will he spare none? Wondrously spent. Let me see, let me see, the son of Panace, a sprightly Lad; Hercules, a lusty youth, a very lusty youth; Sampson, a tall young man, a very tall young man. Does he not do't well? I'll make thee prove't, I'll make thee prove't. I think you are mad: What shall I prove? Why greatest generals, that command whole Legions, and train, and keep in order every man, cannot keep in a woman.
