Tell that I am forsaken, do my face
(If thou hadst ever feeling of a sorrow) Thus, thus, _Antiphila_ strive to make me look Like sorrows monument; and the trees about me, Let them be dry and leaveless; let the Rocks Groan with continual surges, and behind me Make all a desolation; look, look Wenches, A miserable life of this poor Picture. _Olym_. Dear Madam! _Asp_. I have done, sit down, and let us Upon that point fix all our eyes, that point there; Make a dull silence till you feel a sudden sadness Give us new souls. [_Enter Calianax_. _Cal_. The King may do this, and he may not do it; My child is wrong'd, disgrac'd: well, how now Huswives? What at your ease? is this a time to sit still? up you young Lazie Whores, up or I'le sweng you. _Olym_. Nay, good my Lord. _Cal_. You'l lie down shortly, get you in and work; What are you grown so resty? you want ears, We shall have some of the Court boys do that Office. |
