By no means; I devised a formal tale,
That salv'd your reputation. But be valiant, sir. CORV: I fear no one but him, that this his pleading Should make him stand for a co-heir-- MOS: Co-halter! Hang him; we will but use his tongue, his noise, As we do croakers here. CORV: Ay, what shall he do? MOS: When we have done, you mean? CORV: Yes. MOS: Why, we'll think: Sell him for mummia; he's half dust already. [TO VOLTORE.] Do not you smile, to see this buffalo, How he does sport it with his head? [ASIDE.] --I should, If all were well and past. [TO CORBACCIO.] --Sir, only you Are he that shall enjoy the crop of all, And these not know for whom they toil. CORB: Ay, peace. |
