_Actus Quartus. Scena Prima._ _Enter_ Francisco, Uncle, _and_ Lance. _Fran._ Why do you deal thus with him? 'tis unnobly. _Unc._ Peace Cousin peace, you are too tender of him, he must be dealt thus with, he must be cured thus, the violence of his disease _Francisco,_ must not be jested with, 'tis grown infectious, and now strong Corrosives must cure him. _Lance._ H'as had a stinger, has eaten off his clothes, the next his skin comes. _Unc._ And let it search him to the bones, 'tis better, 'twill make him feel it. _Lance._ Where be his noble friends now? will his fantastical opinions cloath him, or the learned Art of having nothing feed him? _Unc._ It must needs greedily, for all his friends have flung him off, he is naked, and where to skin himself again, if I know, or can devise how he should get himself lodging, his Spirit must be bowed, and now we have him, have him at that we hoped for. |
