_Mel_. Come, delay me not; Give me a sudden answer, or already Thy last is spoke; refuse not offered love, When it comes clad in secrets. _Cal_. If I say I will not, he will kill me, I do see't writ In his looks; and should I say I will, he'l run and tell the King: I do not shun your friendship dear _Melantius_, But this cause is weighty, give me but an hour to think. _Mel_. Take it--I know this goes unto the King, But I am arm'd. [_Ex. Melant_. _Cal_. Me thinks I feel my self But twenty now agen; this fighting fool Wants Policy; I shall revenge my Girl, And make her red again; I pray, my legs Will last that pace that I will carry them, I shall want breath before I find the King. _Actus Quartus_. |
