Come, you will now be perjured; but I'll stay That imputation from you: What became Of your affection, when you bound that man; If you miscarried in your work at Rome, That he should see me poisoned? Start you now? O, 'twas a venomed Complot. Sir, a word: You're a faithless young man; and have lost The great hope I had in you. By my life, Hopes, and all fruitful wishes; I'm of this As Innocent as Silence: if my lips Ere opened to relate it; let me feel Some sudden fatal judgement: Gracious Sir, Search out this secret further, 'twill be found There is more Treason breeding. I'm resolved. Madam, you have accused me; and I stand So strongly on mine own truth, that you must Discover your Informers: By that love Once you did feign to bear me; by that faith Which should link married couples; by the awe, Duty and truth of Women; or if these Be canceled with you fury; yet by that Great power your King hath over you, and to shun The scourge of Torments, which I solemnly Will try to the extremest; here I bind, Nay, do command you, that unfeignedly You tell me who informed you. You have laid So great Commandments on me, that I dare In no wise disobey you. Sir, it was Lord Ioseph that informed me. Ha; Ioseph! O my abused confidence! Now it works. The fire begins to kindle. But I'll bring Fuel that shall inflame it. Ioseph? was't Ioseph? then 'tis time to feel My cold dull unbelieving. O pardon me; It was my love, not malice. No, your lust, And you shall buy it dearly: Call a Guard. Have I for this so often lost myself Within the Labyrinth of her wanton eyes; And am I now repaid with Treachery: Cease on those wretched Creatures; Salumith, Stand forth, and what thy knowledge can approve Against those Traitors, speak it; now mine ear Lies open to my safety. Bravely speak, You shall have strong supporters; now his ear Is open, see you fill it. Doubt me not. Great Sir, with confidence as full of Truth, As they are full of Treason; I aver, These, in your absence, have abused your bed, With most incestuous foul Adultery. All that's like goodness shield me. Woman, look up; The vault of Heaven is Marble; this untruth Will make it fall to kill thee. Let it come, If I speak aught unjustly; all my words, My blood and oath shall seal to. Good, let my love persuade thee; do not buzz Such foul things in his ears; his Majesty Is too much moved already. Good my Lord, Let me discharge my duty. Nay, for that, I dare not to withstand; yet, questionless, The Queen is not so wicked.— Go, put home; Y'ave all things to assist you:— Sirrah Iew, Forget not thy preferment. Fear me not. How now, what tumult's that?
