BEL. A _lodging for the most cruel of your foes_ is full of
charms for me. PHI. I like _superbly_ and _gorgeously_; these two adverbs joined together sound admirably. BEL. Let us hear the rest. TRI. _Your prudence fast in sleep's repose Is plunged; if thus superbly kind, A lodging gorgeously you can find For the most cruel of your foes_ ARM. _Prudence asleep_! BEL. _Lodge one's enemy_! PHI. _Superbly and gorgeously_! TRI. _Will she, nill she, quick, out she goes! From your apartment richly lined, Where that ingrate's outrageous mind At your fair life her javelin throws_. BEL. Ah! gently. Allow me to breathe, I beseech you. ARM. Give us time to admire, I beg. |
