I cannot tell I near tried other sir, but I perceive She is as quick as you delivered. Well you'll trust me then Amintor, To choose a wife for you again. No never sir. Why? like you this so ill. So well I like her, For this I bow my knee in thanks to you, And unto heaven will pay my grateful tribute Hourly, and do hope we shall draw out, A long contented life together here, And die both full of grey hairs in one day, for which the thanks is yours, but if the powers That rule us, please to call her first away, Without pride spoke, this world holds not a wife Worthy to take her room. I do not like this; all forbear the room But you Amintor and your Lady, I have some speech that may Concern your after living well, 'a will not tell me that he lies with her, if he do, For it is apt to thrust this arm of mine to acts unlawful. You will suffer me to talk with her Amintor, And not have jealous pangs. Sir, I dare trust my wife, When she dares to talk, and not be jealous How do you like Amintor. As I did sir. how's that? As one that to fulfil your pleasure, I have given leave to call me wife and love. I see there is no lasting faith in sin, They that break word with heaven, will break again With all the world, and so dost thou with me. How sir. This subtle woman's ignorance Will not excuse you, thou hast taken oaths So great, that methought they did misbecome A woman's mouth, that thou wouldst near enjoy A man but me. I never did swear so, you do me wrong. Day and night have heard it. I swore indeed that I would never love A man of lower place, but if your fortune Should throw you from this height, I bade you trust I would forsake you, and would bend to him That won your throne, I love with my ambition, Not with my eyes, but if I ever yet Touched any other, Leprosy light here Upon my face, which for your royalty I would not stain. Why thou dissemblest, and it is in me To punish thee. Why, it is in me then, not to love you, which will More afflict your body, than your punishment can mine. But thou hast let Amintor lie with thee. I hannot. Impudence, he says himself so. A lies. A does not. By this light he does, strangely and basely, and I'll prove it so, I did not only shun him for a night, But told him I would never close with him. Speak lower, 'tis false. I am no man to answer with a blow, Or if I were, you are the King, but urge not, 'tis most true.
