'No, sir,' says question 'I, sweet sir, at yours:
And so, ere answer knows what question would,-- Saving in dialogue of compliment, And talking of the Alps and Apennines, The Pyrenean and the river Po,-- It draws toward supper in conclusion so. But this is worshipful society, And fits the mounting spirit like myself: For he is but a bastard to the time, That doth not smack of observation,-- And so am I, whether I smack or no; And not alone in habit and device, Exterior form, outward accoutrement, But from the inward motion to deliver Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's tooth; Which, though I will not practise to deceive, Yet, to avoid deceit, I mean to learn; For it shall strew the footsteps of my rising.-- But who comes in such haste in riding-robes? What woman-post is this? hath she no husband That will take pains to blow a horn before her? [Enter LADY FALCONBRIDGE, and JAMES GURNEY.] O me, 'tis my mother!--w now, good lady! What brings you here to court so hastily? LADY FALCONBRIDGE. Where is that slave, thy brother? where is he That holds in chase mine honour up and down? |
