_Cal_. I do look for some great punishment for this,
For I begin to forget all my hate, And tak't unkindly that mine enemy Should use me so extraordinarily scurvily. _Mel_. I shall melt too, if you begin to take Unkindnesses: I never meant you hurt. _Cal_. Thou'lt anger me again; thou wretched rogue, Meant me no hurt! disgrace me with the King; Lose all my Offices! this is no hurt, Is it? I prethee what dost thou call hurt? _Mel_. To poyson men because they love me not; To call the credit of mens Wives in question; To murder children betwixt me and land; this is all hurt. _Cal_. All this thou think'st is sport; For mine is worse: but use thy will with me; For betwixt grief and anger I could cry. _Mel_. Be wise then, and be safe; thou may'st revenge. _Cal_. I o'th' King? I would revenge of thee. _Mel_. That you must plot your self. _Cal_. I am a fine plotter. |
