_Aldo._ So, now you will part, for a mere punctilio! Turn to him, daughter: Speak to her, son: Why should you be so refractory both, to bring my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave? _Limb._ I'll not be forsworn, I swore first; _Trick._ Thou art a forsworn man, however; for thou sworest to love me eternally. _Limb._ Yes, I was such a fool, to swear so. _Aldo._ And will you have that dreadful oath lie gnawing on your conscience? _Trick._ Let him be damned; and so farewell for ever.--[_Going._] _Limb._ Pug! _Trick._ Did you call, Mr Limberham? _Limb._ It may be, ay; it may be, no. _Trick._ Well, I am going to the nunnery; but, to shew I am in charity, I'll pray for you. _Aldo._ Pray for him! fy, daughter, fy; is that an answer for a Christian? |
