The Maids Tragedy by Francis Beaumont;John Fletcher
page 107 of 176 (60%)
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.
