I would not wed that year: And you I hope,
When you have spent this year commodiously, In atchieving Languages, will at your return Acknowledge me more coy of parting with mine eyes, Than such a friend: More talk I hold not now If you dare go. _Elder Lo._ I dare, you know: First let me kiss. _Lady._ Farewel sweet Servant, your task perform'd, On a new ground as a beginning Sutor, I shall be apt to hear you. _Elder Lo._ Farewel cruel Mistres. [_Exit_ Lady. _Enter Young Loveless, and Savil._ _Young Lo._ Brother you'l hazard the losing your tide to _Gravesend_: you have a long half mile by Land to _Greenewich_? _Elder Lo._ I go: but Brother, what yet unheard of course to live, doth your imagination flatter you with? Your ordinary means are devour'd. _Young Lo._ Course? why Horse-coursing I think. Consume no time in this: I have no Estate to be mended by meditation: he that busies himself about my fortunes may properly be said to busie himself about nothing. _Elder Lo._ Yet some course you must take, which for my satisfaction resolve and open; if you will shape none, I must inform you that that man but perswades himself he means to live, that imagines not the means. |
