Tys an undaunted harte shoes Innocence:
Shame in a guyltie man (like wounds & scratches In a corrupted fleshe) may ranckell deepe, Good mens dishonors heale before they weepe. _Gan_. Pray thee, noble _Eudon_, save thy selfe, And come not neare me; I am pestilent. _Eud_. I doe not feare infection. _Gan_. I knowe tharte noble & a man of warre, One that hathe feard no mortall wound so muche As to be recond fearfull; but the cause, The cause of my dull ruyne must affryghte you You have not flynte enoughe to arme your soule Agaynst compassyon; & that kylls a souldior. Let me have roame to breathe at lardge my woes And talke alone, least the proceedinge ayre That easeth me beget in you a payne. Leave me, pray leave me: my rude vyolence Will halfe distract your spyrrytts, my sadd speeche Like such a noyse as drownds all other noyse Will so afflyct your thoughts & cares on me That all your care besyde must be neglected. My tyme of patyence is expyrd; pray leave me. _Eld_. Ithe name of wonder, sir, what dothe afflyct you. _Eud_. You boare your banyshment most brave tyll nowe. |
