In a task That may require my soul than I beseech thee; May stretch sincerity with tenters: o Impose an ample burden; o some task That will survey the depth of love indeed: Favour beyond man's merit, doth exact A most unquenched servor; not his vow, But sinews active, and a sweating brow. My life lies prostrate to predominance, Of your commanding voice: I will bestow My reeking blood in recompense of love Ready, without all first or second cause: I wish some Doctor in extremity Of unknown sickness, which may seize upon Your most respective honour; would prescribe The marrow of a man, medicinal; You should not be indebted to the bones Of a forsaken caitiff, new condemned, Whose pocky pith might be infective: No, My supple fingers should unloose a joint From off this flexile carcase. I would bruise A luculent and luscious marrowbone, (The best I can style proper) to appease The sharp divulsions of such new disease. Gracchus, who gives not credence to a zeal Of thy profession, we account him base: Be chief among my chiefest followers, They shall receive directions from thyself. Withdraw, and punish those Which my family roof is tainted with; And which abusive ages do afford A zeal sincere the Gods cannot reprove And we erelong will manifest out loves Let us inculcate now my father's charge, Remember what with vehemence was urged, Nay was enjoined you Mantofio By our most watchful father. I expect Upon delivery of his closet keys. Take them, and prosper; pray be vigilant; Revolve I pray on how large consequence, The bare event and sequel of our hopes jointly consist; who jointly have embarked The doubtful hazard of our dearest lives Upon a small miscarriage: only five Participate of our designs; myself, But first my father, than my stepdame next You (Steward) and the Captain of the Guard Whose happy full consent is scarce obtained: we severally have instructions learned Of each particular function; have agreed How each conspirator shall be employed. Time calls for speedy action; the square plot Doth now transcend a shapeless embryo And will expect upon delivery: You have engaged a wise dexterity, And travail; to procure the famishment, To purvey, to collect estival corn, Which Harvest will enrich the Rustics with: My task intends surprisal of the Queen: Be careful, take the keys, expend the wealth Which long hath been uphoard: traitors all Like cunning Statuaries, must avoid Blemish and eyesores; you conceive me sir: Successive business needs no roweled spur: Treason like some insculpture spacious On a smooth touchstone will demand men wise A diligent perusal, most precise; With an elaborate artificer Who may direct; for 'tis infallible That errors in a beauteous frame (though small And at another time though venial) Yet if committed in a curious piece Where blemish might (by sufferance) ensue The total is condemned and carved a new: Be white, or black; not (party-coloured) grey;
