BECKET.
Ay, but you go disguised. ROSAMUND. O rare again! We'll baffle them, I warrant. What shall it be? I'll go as a nun. BECKET. No. ROSAMUND. What, not good enough Even to play at nun? BECKET. Dan John with a nun, That Map, and these new railers at the Church May plaister his clean name with scurrilous rhymes! No! Go like a monk, cowling and clouding up That fatal star, thy Beauty, from the squint Of lust and glare of malice. Good night! good night! ROSAMUND. Father, I am so tender to all hardness! Nay, father, first thy blessing. BECKET. Wedded? |
