O twas a speedinge way to doe us shame! _Rei_. Take truce with passyon: I dare bouldlye sweare There is some other mysterye. _Oli_. At worst Ile make it for our purposse every way And even kill the soule of _Ganelon_. With talkinge of the cowardyse, so that you Houlde patyence for a mynute. _Orl_. Patyence! Preache it to cynicks or greene sycknes gyrles That have not blood enough to make a blushe Or forme an acte might cause one. I have longe Like to a reelinge pynetree shooke the earthe That I was rooted in, but nowe must fall And be no longer the fatts tennys ball. _Rei_. Come be more temperd, you shall see from thys Sprynge pleasure that you wishe for. _Olyver_ Shall instantlye upbrayd false _Ganelon_ With _Rychards_ muche unworthynes. _Oli_. Thats decreed For in such tearms I meane to sett hym fourthe As shall even burst hys gall with agonye: Nay, it shall make hym never darre t'apeare Where men resorte, or knowe ought but hys feare. |
