Whether upon the score of love or hate,
With you and you alone I settle, sir. We've gone too far. 'Twere folly now to part Without a reckoning. Clif. Just as you please. Wal. You've done A noble lady wrong. Clif. That lady, sir, Has done me wrong. Wal. Go to, thou art a boy Fit to be trusted with a plaything, not A woman's heart. Thou knowest not what it is! And that I'll prove to thee, soon as we find Convenient place. Come on, sir! you shall get A lesson that shall serve you for the rest Of your life. I'll make you own her, sir, a piece Of Nature's handiwork, as costly, free From bias, flaw, and fair, as ever yet Her cunning hand turned out. Come on, sir! come! [They go out.] ACT III. |
