Hourly, and to hope we shall draw out
A long contented life together here, And die both full of gray hairs in one day; For which the thanks is yours; but if the powers That rule us, please to call her first away, Without pride spoke, this World holds not a Wife Worthy to take her room. _King_. I do not like this; all forbear the room But you _Amintor_ and your Lady. I have some speech with You, that may concern your after living well. _Amint_. He will not tell me that he lies with her: if he do, Something Heavenly stay my heart, for I shall be apt To thrust this arm of mine to acts unlawful. _King_. You will suffer me to talk with her _Amintor_, And not have a jealous pang! _Amint_. Sir, I dare trust my Wife With whom she dares to talk, and not be jealous. _King_. How do you like _Amintor_? _Evad_. As I did Sir. _King_. How's that! _Evad_. As one that to fulfil your will and pleasure, I have given leave to call me Wife and Love. |
