The White Devil by John Webster
page 42 of 204 (20%)
Out upon sweetmeats and continued physic,
The plague is in them!


Isab. You have oft, for these two lips,
Neglected cassia, or the natural sweets
Of the spring-violet: they are not yet much wither'd.
My lord, I should be merry: these your frowns
Show in a helmet lovely; but on me,
In such a peaceful interview, methinks
They are too roughly knit.


Brach. O dissemblance!
Do you bandy factions 'gainst me? have you learnt
The trick of impudent baseness to complain
Unto your kindred?


Isab. Never, my dear lord.


Brach. Must I be hunted out? or was 't your trick
To meet some amorous gallant here in Rome,
That must supply our discontinuance?


Isab. Pray, sir, burst my heart; and in my death
Turn to your ancient pity, though not love.
