Hold for your own sake Though charity to your daughter hath quite left you Will you do an act, though in your hopes lost here Can leave no hope for peace, or rest hereafter Consider; at the best you are but a man, And cannot so create your aims, but that They may be crossed. Lord, thus I spit at thee, And at thy counsel; and again desire thee And as thou art a soldier, if thy valour Dares show itself where multitude, and example Lead not the way, let's quit the house, and change Six words in private. I am ready. Stay Sir, Contest with one distracted? You'll grow like him Should you answer his vain challenge. Are you pale? Borrow his help, though Hercules call it odds I'll stand against both, as I am hemmed in thus. Since like lybian-lion in the toil, My fury cannot reach the coward hunters And only spends itself, I'll quit the place, Alone I can do nothing: but I have servants And friends to second me, and if I make not This house a heap of ashes (by my wrongs, What I have spoke I will make good) or leaned One throat uncut, if it be possible Hell ad to my afflictions. Is't not brave sport? Brave sport? I am sure it has ta'en away my stomach I do not like the sauce. Nay, weep not dearest: Though it express your pity, what's decreed Above, we cannot alter. His threats move me No scruple, Madam. Was it not a rare trick (And it please your Worship) to make the deed nothing? I can do twenty neater, if you please To purchase, and grow rich, for I will be Such a solicitor, and steward for you, As never Worshipful had. I do believe thee. But first discover the quaint means you used To raze out the conveyance? They are mysteries Not to be spoke in public: certain minerals Incorporated in the ink, and wax? Besides he gave me nothing, but still fed me With hopes, and blows; and that was the inducement To this conundrum. If it please your Worship To call to memory, this mad beast once caused me To urge you, or to drown, or hang, yourself, I'll do the like to him if you command me. You are a Rascal, he that dares be false To a master, though unjust, will ne'er be true To any other: look not for reward, Or favour from me, I will shun thy sight As I would do a basiliskes. Thank my pity If thou keep thy cares, howe'er I will take order Your practice shall be silenced. I'll commit him, If you'll have me Sir? That were to little purpose, His conscience be his prison, not a word But instantly begone. Take this kick with you. And this. If that I had my cleaver here I would divide your knave's head. This is the haven, False servants still arrive at. Come again. Fear not I am your guard.
