Gonzalo:
Still I must thank you. This is the most passionate, Most pitifull Prince, Who in the Caldron of affections, Looks as he had been par-boy'ld. Philander: If I offend with too much loving you, It is a fault that I must still commit, To make your mercy shine the more on me. Erota: You are the self-same creature you condemn, Or else you durst not follow me with hope That I can pity you, who am so far From granting any comfort in this kind, That you and all men else shall perish first: I will live free and single, till I find Something above a man to equal me; Put all your brave _Heroes_ into one, Your Kings and Emperours, and let him come In person of a man, and I should scorn him: Must, and will scorn him. The god of love himself hath lost his eyes, His Bow and Torch extinguish'd, and the Poets That made him first a god, have lost their fire |
