She loves him still, I am a cuckold He has outgone me, do you hear; subscribe Move me no further. The worst can be but death, I will not. I tell thee I'll for give thee, give my revenge Scope but at him, thou art free. Swear it by Abraham's dust, the ashes of our forefathers. Dust and ashes it's but a frail oath. By that, and all that ties a virtuous mind, I vow and swear by written writ. You'll swear as much to forgive me I hope to sir. Why, thou shalt be the messenger, nay the actor In my just vengeance. The hangman you mean sir, I am expert at it. Francisco, what news man? The worst your ears can hear, our ships They are untouched, of all they are only safe. You dazzle your own eyes, that villain Dansiker Hath grappled them and fled. Whirlwinds pursue him, heaven, seas, earth, all at once join to his confusion, now I do see too late There is a hand o'errules our will and fate.

'Tis thine I will bestow it on thee, to tie thy faith Thou hast his ransom. 'Tis here. About it then, now fortune equal prove I am happy, yet her lust redeems my love.
