HUNTSMAN
Knowest thou one law, that through the world has won? HIPPOLYTUS What wouldst thou? And how runs thy law? Say on. HUNTSMAN It hates that Pride that speaks not all men fair! HIPPOLYTUS And rightly. Pride breeds hatred everywhere. HUNTSMAN And good words love, and grace in all men's sight? HIPPOLYTUS Aye, and much gain withal, for trouble slight. HUNTSMAN How deem'st thou of the Gods? Are they the same? HIPPOLYTUS Surely: we are but fashioned on their frame. HUNTSMAN Why then wilt thou be proud, and worship not ... HIPPOLYTUS Whom? If the name be speakable, speak out! |
