ANT. My heart is pained, though my lip laughs at thee. ISM. What can I do for thee now, even now? ANT. Save your own life. I grudge not your escape. ISM. Alas! and must I be debarred thy fate? ANT. Life was the choice you made. Mine was to die. ISM. I warned thee---- ANT. Yes, your prudence is admired On earth. My wisdom is approved below. ISM. Yet truly we are both alike in fault. ANT. Fear not; you live. My life hath long been given To death, to be of service to the dead. CR. Of these two girls, the one hath lost her wits: The other hath had none since she was born. ISM. My lord, in misery, the mind one hath Is wont to be dislodged, and will not stay. CR. You have ta'en leave of yours at any rate, When you cast in your portion with the vile. |
