As will disperse it selfe through all the veines,
That the life-wearie-taker may fall dead, And that the Trunke may be discharg'd of breath, As violently, as hastie powder fier'd Doth hurry from the fatall Canons wombe App. Such mortall drugs I haue, but Mantuas law Is death to any he, that vtters them Rom. Art thou so bare and full of wretchednesse, And fear'st to die? Famine is in thy cheekes, Need and opression starueth in thy eyes, Contempt and beggery hangs vpon thy backe: The world is not thy friend, nor the worlds law: The world affords no law to make thee rich. Then be not poore, but breake it, and take this App. My pouerty, but not my will consents Rom. I pray thy pouerty, and not thy will App. Put this in any liquid thing you will And drinke it off, and if you had the strength Of twenty men, it would dispatch you straight Rom. There's thy Gold, Worse poyson to mens soules, Doing more murther in this loathsome world, Then these poore compounds that thou maiest not sell. I sell thee poyson, thou hast sold me none, |
