_Cal_. Do, mock me. _Mel_. By mine honour I speak truth. _Cal_. Honour? where is't? _Mel_. See what starts you make into your hatred to my love and freedom to you.-- I come with resolution to obtain a suit of you. _Cal_. A suit of me! 'tis very like it should be granted, Sir. _Mel_. Nay, go not hence; 'Tis this; you have the keeping of the Fort, And I would wish you by the love you ought To bear unto me, to deliver it into my hands. _Cal_. I am in hope that thou art mad, to talk to me thus. _Mel_. But there is a reason to move you to it. I would kill the King that wrong'd you and your daughter. _Cal_. Out Traytor! _Mel_. Nay but stay; I cannot scape, the deed once done, Without I have this fort. _Cal_. And should I help thee? now thy treacherous mind betrays it self. |
