The White Devil by John Webster
page 17 of 204 (08%)
Flam. [With a relish as curious as a vintner going to taste new wine.]
[To Camillo.] I am opening your case hard.


Cam. A virtuous brother, o' my credit!


Flam. He will give thee a ring with a philosopher's stone in it.


Cam. Indeed, I am studying alchemy.


Flam. Thou shalt lie in a bed stuffed with turtle's feathers; swoon in
perfumed linen, like the fellow was smothered in roses. So perfect

ships, go that way they go; so both heaven and earth shall seem to go
your voyage. Shalt meet him; 'tis fix'd, with nails of diamonds to
inevitable necessity.


Vit. How shalt rid him hence?


Flam. [I will put brize in 's tail, set him gadding presently.] I have
almost wrought her to it; I find her coming: but, might I advise you
now, for this night I would not lie with her, I would cross her humour
to make her more humble.
