MOTH. Come, you transgressing slave: away! COSTARD. Let me not be pent up, sir: I will fast, being loose. MOTH. No, sir; that were fast and loose: thou shalt to prison. COSTARD. Well, if ever I do see the merry days of desolation that I have seen, some shall see-- MOTH. What shall some see? COSTARD. Nay, nothing, Master Moth, but what they look upon. It is not for prisoners to be too silent in their words, and therefore I will say nothing. I thank God I have as little patience as another man, and therefore I can be quiet. [Exeunt MOTH and COSTARD.] ARMADO. I do affect the very ground, which is base, where her shoe, which is baser, guided by her foot, which is basest, doth tread. I shall be forsworn,--which is a great argument of falsehood,--if I love. And how can that be true love which is falsely attempted? |
