And every day that comes, comes to decay A day's work in him. What shalt thou expect To be depender on a thing that leans? Who cannot be new built, nor has no Friends So much, as but to prop him? Thou tak'st up Thou knowst not what: But take it for thy labour, It is a thing I made, which hath the King Five times redeemed from death. I do not know What is more Cordial. Nay, I prithee take it, It is an earnest of a farther good That I mean to thee. Tell thy Mistress how The case stands with her: do't, as from thyself; Think what a chance thou changest on, but think Thou hast thy Mistress still, to boot, my Son, Who shall take notice of thee. I'll move the King To any shape of thy Preferment, such As thou'lt desire: and then myself, I chiefly, That set thee on to this desert, am bound To load thy merit richly. Call my women. Think on my words. A sly, and constant knave, Not to be shaked: the Agent for his Master, And the Remembrancer of her, to hold The handfast to her Lord. I have given him that, Which if he take, shall quite unpeople her Of Leidgers for her Sweet: and which, she after Except she bend her humour, shall be assured To taste of too. So, so: Well done, well done: The Violets, Cowslippes, and the Primroses Bear to my Closet: Far thee well, Pisanio. Think on my words. And shall do: But when to my good Lord, I prove untrue, I'll choke myself: there's all Isle do for you. A Father cruel, and a Stepdame false, A Foolish Suitor to a Wedded-Lady, That hath her Husband banished: O, that Husband, My supreme Crown of grief, and those repeated Vexations of it. Had I been Theefe-stolne, As my two Brothers, happy: but most miserable Is the desires that's glorious. Blessed be those How mean so ere, that have their honest wills, Which seasons comfort. Who may this be? Fie. Madam, a Noble Gentleman of Rome, Comes from my Lord with Letters. Change you, Madam: The Worthy Leonatus is in safety, And greets your Highness dearly. Thanks good Sir, You're kindly welcome. All of her, that is out of door, most rich: If she be furnished with a mind so rare She is alone th' Arabian-Bird; and I Have lost the wager. Boldness be my Friend: Arm me Audacity from head to foot, Orlike the Parthian I shall flying fight, Rather directly fly. He is one of the Noblest note, to whose kindnesses I am most infinitely tied. Reflect vpon him accordingly, as you value your trust. Leonatus. So far I read aloud. But even the very middle of my heart Is warmed by ' th' rest, and take it thankfully. You are as welcome (worthy Sir) as I Have words to bid you, and shall find it so In all that I can do.
