Ha? Scavenger? well go to, I say little, but, by this good day (God forgive me I should swear) if I put it up so, say I am the rankest— that ever pissed. 'Sblood and I swallow this, I'll near draw my sword in the sight of man again while I live; I'll sit in a Barn with Madge-owlet first, Scavenger?' heart and I'll go near to fill that huge timbrel slop of yours with somewhat and I have good luck, your Garagantua breech cannot carry it away so. Oh do not fret your selfe thus, neuer thinke o't. These are my brother's consorts these, these are his comrades, his walking mates, he's a gallant, a Caveliero too, right hangman cut, God let me not live, and I could not find in my heart to swinge the whole nest of them, one after another, and begin with him first, I am grieved it should be said he is my brother, and take these courses, well he shall hear on't, and that tightly too, and I live I'faith. But brother, let your apprehension (then) Run in an easy current, not transported With heady rashness, or devouring choler, And rather carry a persuading spirit, Whose powers will pierce more gently; and allure, Th' imperfect thoughts you labour to reclaim, To a more sudden and resolved assent. ay, I, let me alone for that I warrant you. How now? oh the bell rings to breakfast. Brother Giuliano, I pray you go in and bear my wife company: I'll but give order to my servants for the dispatch of some business and come to you presently. What Cob? our maids will have you by the back (I'faith) For coming so late this morning. Perhaps so sir, take heed some body have not them by the belly for walking so late in the evening. Now (in good faith) my mind is somewhat eased, Though not reposed in that security, As I could wish; well, I must be content, How e'er I set a face on't to the world, Would I had lost this finger at a vent, So Prospero had ne'er lodged in my house, Why't cannot be, where there is such resort Of wanton gallants, and young revellers, That any woman should be honest long. ist like, that factious beauty will preserve The sovereign state of chastity unscard, When such strong motives muster, and make head Against her single peace? no, no: beware When mutual pleasure sways the appetite, And spirits of one kind and quality, Do meet to parley in the pride of blood. Well (to be plain) if I but thought, the time Had answered their affections: all the world Should not persuade me, but I were a cuckold: Mary I hope they have not got that start. For opportunity hath balked them yet, And shall do still, while I have eyes and ears To attend the imposition of my heart, My presence shall be as an Iron Bar, Twixt the conspiring motions of desire, Yea every look or glance mine eye objects, Shall check occasion, as one doth his slave, When he forgets the limits of prescription.
