Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens, Would all themselves laugh mortal. LUCIO. O, to him, to him, wench: he will relent; He's coming; I perceive 't. PROVOST. Pray heaven she win him! ISABELLA. We cannot weigh our brother with ourself: Great men may jest with saints: 'tis wit in them; But, in the less, foul profanation. LUCIO. Thou'rt i' the right, girl; more o' that. ISABELLA. That in the captain's but a choleric word Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy. LUCIO. Art advised o' that? more on't. ANGELO. Why do you put these sayings upon me? ISABELLA. |
