And where the name of Souldier has been heard of
Be sure thou live not: to some hungry desert Where thou canst meet with nothing but thy conscience, And that in all the shapes of all thy vill[anie]s Attend thee still, where bruit Beasts will abhor thee, And even the Sun will shame to give thee light, Goe hide thy head: or if thou think'st it fitter Goe hang thy self. _Dol._ Hark to that clause. _Sce._ And that speedily, That nature may be eas'd of such a Monster. [_Exit._ _Sep._ Yet all this moves not me: nor reflects on me: I keep my gold still, and my confidence, Their want of breeding makes these fellows murmur, Rude valors, so I let 'em pass; rude honours: There is a wench yet, that I know, affects me And company for a King: a young plump villain, That when she sees this gold, she'l leap upon me. _Enter_ Eros. And here she comes: I am sure of her at midnight, My pretty _Eros_ welcom. _Eros_. I have business. _Sep._ Above my love, thou canst not. |
