Take you heed, how you dare the powers That must be just. Alas! What are we kings, why do you gods Place us above the rest, to be served, flattered, and adored, Still we believe we hold within our hands your Thunder, And when we come to try the power we think we have, There's not a leaf shakes at our threatenings, I have sinned, 'tis true, and here I stand to be punished, Yet would not these be punished, let me choose my way, And lay it on. He articles with the gods, would somebody would draw bonds, for the performance of covenant betwixt them. What, is she found? No, we have ta'en her horse, he galloped empty by, there's some treason: you Galatea rode into the Wood with her, Why left you her? She did command me. Command, you should not. 'Twould ill become my fortunes, and my birth, To disobey the daughter of my king. O you're all cunning to obey us, for our hurts, But I will have her. If I have her not, by this sword, there shall be no more Sicily. What, will he carry it to Spain in's pockets? I will not leave one man alive, But the king, a Cook, and a tailor. Yes, you may do well to leave your Lady bedfellow here for a spinster. I see the injuries I have done, must be revenged. Sir, this is not the way to find her out. Run all, disperse yourselves, the man that finds her, or if she be killed, the traitor, I'll make him great. ay, some would give five thousand pounds to find her. Come, let us seek. Each man a several way, here I myself. Come Gentlemen, we here. Lady, you must go search too. I had rather be the search myself. Where am I now, feet find out the way, without the counsel of my troubled head, I'll follow you boldly about these woods, or mountains, through brambles, pits and floods; Heaven I hope will ease me, I am sick. Yonder my Lady is, gods knows, I want nothing, because I do not wish to live, yet I will try her charity. O hear you, that have plenty from that flowing store, drop some on dry grounds, see the lively red is gone to guard her heart: I fear she faints, madam, look up: she breathes not; open once those rosy twines, and send unto my Lord your latest farewell: O she stirs; How is't madam? speak comfort. 'tis not gently done to put me in a miserable life, and hold me there, I prithee let me go, I shall do best without thee. I am too blame to be so much in rage, I'll tell her coolly, when and where I heard This killing truth, I will be temperate in speaking, And as just in hearing; O monstrous, tempt me not You gods, good gods, tempt not a frail man, who's he that has a heart, but he must ease it with his tongue.
