_Fue_. Nowe must I be coy by all meanes.--Trulye for myne owne parte I
must love by dyscretyon, and discretyon tells me I ought not to love an oulde man, for ould men must needs be ingratfull. _Char_. Why, deare sweete? _Fue_. Because they can never live to rewarde benefytts. _Tur_.--Bytter knave. _Char_. O doe not feare; my bountye shall exceede The power of thyne askynge; thou shalt treade Uppon the heads of prynces. Bowe, you lords, And fall before thys saynte I reverence. _Tur. Rich. Did_. Honors to hym the emperor doth honor! _Fue_. Aryse, my good subjects; onlye for that roauge there the first acte of my chronickle shalbe hys hanginge. _Did_. O be not angrye with your humble servante: I ever did adore you, _Fue_. Yes like the meales that thou hast devourd halfe chewd for greedynes. But revendge comes nowe gallopinge. _Char_. Who hathe displeasd my dearest? name hys name, The verye breathe shall blast hym; onlye, sweete, Love me & have thy wishes. |
