_Flor_. My _Abdelazer_--why in that fierce posture,
As if thy Thoughts were always bent on Death? Why is that Dagger out?--against whom drawn? _Abd_. Or stay,--suppose I let him see _Florella_, And when he's high with the expected Bliss, Then take him thus--Oh, 'twere a fine surprize! _Flor_. My Lord--dear _Abdelazer_. _Abd_. Or say--I made her kill him--that were yet An Action much more worthy of my Vengeance. _Flor_. Will you not speak to me? what have I done? _Abd_. By Heaven, it shall be so. _Flor_. What shall be so? _Abd_. Hah-- _Flor_. Why dost thou dress thy Eyes in such unusual wonder? There's nothing here that is a stranger to thee, Or what is not intirely thine own. _Abd_. Mine! _Flor_. Thou canst not doubt it. _Abd_. No,--and for a proof that thou art so,--take this Dagger. |
