I: if you dare do yourself a profit, and a right. He sups to night with a Harlotry: and thither will I go to him. He knows not yet of his Honourable Fortune, if you will watch his going thence (which I will fashion to fall out between twelve and one) you may take him at your pleasure. I will be near to second your Attempt, and he shall fall between us. Come, stand not amazed at it, but go along with me: I will show you such a necessity in his death, that you shall think yourself bound to put it on him. It is now high supper time: and the night grows to waste. About it. I will hear further reason for this. And you shallbe satisfied. I do beseech you Sir, trouble yourself no further. Oh pardon me: 'twill do me good to walk. Madam, good night: I humbly thank your Ladyship. Your Honour is most welcome. Will you walk Sir? Oh Desdemona. My Lord. Get you to bed on th' instant, I will be returned forth with: dismiss your Attendant there: looked be done. I will my Lord. How goes it now? He looks gentler than he did. He says he will return incontinent, And hath commanded me to go to bed, And bid me to dismiss you. Dismiss me? It was his bidding: therefore good Aemilia, Give me my nightly wearing, and adieu. We must not now displease him. I, would you had never seen him. So would not I: my love doth so approve him, That even his stubborness, his checks, his frowns, (Prithee un-pin me) have grace and favour. I have laid those Sheets you bade me on the bed. All's one: good Father, how foolish are our minds? If I do die before, prithee shroud me In one of these same Sheets. Come, come: you talk. My Mother had a Maid called Barbary, She was in love: and he she loved proved mad, And did forsake her. She had a Song of Willough, An old thing 'twas: but it expressed her Fortune, And she died singing it. That Song to night, Will not go from my mind: I have much to do, But to go hang my head all at one side And sing it like poor Brabarie: prithee dispatch. Shall I go fetch your Nightgown? No, vnpin me here, This Lodovico is a proper man. A very handsome man. He speaks well. I know a Lady in Venice would have walked barefoot to Palestine for a touch of his nether lip. The poor Soul sat singing, by a Sicamour tree. Sing all a green Willough: Her hand on her bosom her head on her knee, Sing Willough, Willough, Willough. The fresh Streams ran by her, and murmured her moans Sing Willough, etc. Her salt tears fell from her, and softened the stones, Sing Willough, etc. (Lay by these) Willough, Willough. (Prithee high thee: he'll come anon) Sing all a green Willough must be my Garland. Let no body blame him, his scorn I approve. (Nay that's not next. Hark, who is't that knocks?
