_Jam_. When thou art dead, I am sure I shall not. _Mil_. Now they begin to burn Like oppos'd Meteors. _Ars_. Give them line, and way, My life for _Don Jamie_. _Jam_. Continue still The excellent Husband, and joyn Farm to Farm, Suffer no Lordship, that in a clear day Falls in the prospect of your covetous eye To be anothers; forget you are a Grandee; Take use upon use, and cut the throats of Heirs With cozening Mortgages: rack your poor Tenants, Till they look like so many Skeletons For want of Food; and when that Widows curses, The ruines of ancient Families, tears of Orphans Have hurried you to the Devil, ever remember All was rak'd up for me (your thankful Brother) |
