Why would you trust a sturdy fellow there
(That has no vertue in him, all's in his sword) Before me? do but take his weapons from him, And he's an Ass, and I am a very fool, Both with him, and without him, as you use me. _Omnes_. Ha, ha, ha! _King_. 'Tis well _Calianax_; but if you use This once again, I shall intreat some other To see your Offices be well discharg'd. Be merry Gentlemen, it grows somewhat late. _Amintor_, thou wouldest be abed again. _Amin_. Yes Sir. _King_. And you _Evadne_; let me take thee in my arms, _Melantius_, and believe thou art as thou deservest to be, my friend still, and for ever. Good _Calianax_, Sleep soundly, it will bring thee to thy self. [_Exeunt omnes. Manent Mel_. and _Cal_. _Cal_. Sleep soundly! I sleep soundly now I hope, I could not be thus else. How dar'st thou stay Alone with me, knowing how thou hast used me? _Mel_. You cannot blast me with your tongue, And that's the strongest part you have about you. |
