(Since I suppose we are made to be no stronger
Then faults may shake our frames) let me be bold; I do arrest your words. Be that you are, That is a woman; if you be more, you'r none. If you be one (as you are well exprest By all externall warrants) shew it now, By putting on the destin'd Liuerie Isa. I haue no tongue but one; gentle my Lord, Let me entreate you speake the former language Ang. Plainlie conceiue I loue you Isa. My brother did loue Iuliet, And you tell me that he shall die for't Ang. He shall not Isabell if you giue me loue Isa. I know your vertue hath a licence in't, Which seemes a little fouler then it is, To plucke on others Ang. Beleeue me on mine Honor, My words expresse my purpose Isa. Ha? Little honor, to be much beleeu'd, And most pernitious purpose: Seeming, seeming. I will proclaime thee Angelo, looke for't. Signe me a present pardon for my brother, Or with an out-stretcht throate Ile tell the world aloud |
