But more, more, more;--why, Malicorn!--again?
I thought a look, with us, had been a language; I'll talk my mind on any point but this By glances;--ha! not yet? thou mak'st me blush At thy delay; why, man, 'tis more than life, Ambition, or a crown[12]. _Mal._ What, Marmoutiere? _Gui._ Ay, there a general's heart beat like a drum! Quick, quick! my reins, my back, and head and breast Ache, as I'd been a horse-back forty hours. _Mal._ She has seen the king. _Gui._ I thought she might. A trick upon me; well. _Mal._ Passion o' both sides. _Gui._ His, thou meanest. _Mal._ On hers. Down on her knees. _Gui._ And up again; no matter. _Mal._ Now all in tears, now smiling, sad at parting. _Gui._ Dissembled, for she told me this before; 'Twas all put on, that I might hear and rave. |
