And we have our purpose, beshrew me, if I cared.
TYRANNY. Saw you ever the like of this doubting dolt? [HYP. Not I the like of such a cutthroat colt.] It grieves me to hear how faint-hearted he is. [_Aside_. A little would cause me to kill thee, thou ass-colt. See, see, for woe he is like for to piss: To give an attempt what a fellow were this? But this is the good that cometh of Covetousness: He liveth alway in fear to lose his riches. Again, mark how he regardeth the death of his friend: So he hath his purpose, he cares for no mo: A perfect pattern of a covetous mind, Which neither esteemeth his friend nor his foe, But rather, Avarice, might I have said so, Who, if he were gone, myself could defend, Where thou by his absence wert soon at an end. [_Exeunt_. ACT II., SCENE 3. HYPOCRISY. O loving Father and merciful God! |
