_Amint_. I hate mine as much.
This 'tis to break a troth; I should be glad If all this tide of grief would make me mad. [_Exit_. _Enter Melantius_. _Mel_. I'le know the cause of all _Amintors_ griefs, Or friendship shall be idle. [_Enter Calianax_. _Cal_. O _Melantius_, my Daughter will die. _Mel_. Trust me, I am sorry; would thou hadst ta'ne her room. _Cal_. Thou art a slave, a cut-throat slave, a bloody treacherous slave. _Melan_. Take heed old man, thou wilt be heard to rave, And lose thine Offices. _Cal_. I am valiant grown At all these years, and thou art but a slave. _Mel_. Leave, some company will come, and I respect Thy years, not thee so much, that I could wish To laugh at thee alone. |
