:35:03
Then let no man
but I do execution
:35:05
on my flesh and blood.
:35:07
I'll broach the tadpole
on this rapier's point.
:35:09
Nurse, give it me!
:35:10
My sword shall soon dispatch it!
:35:14
Sooner this sword
shall plow thy bowels up!
:35:19
Stay, murderous villains!
:35:21
Will you kill your brother?
:35:23
Now, by the burning tapers of the sky
:35:26
that shone so brightly
when this boy was got,
:35:29
he dies upon
my scimitar's sharp point
:35:31
that touches this
my first-born son and heir!
:35:36
What?
:35:38
What, ye sanguine,
shallow-hearted boys?
:35:42
Ye white-limed walls!
:35:44
Ye alehouse painted signs!
:35:47
Coal-black is better than another hue
:35:50
in that it scorns
to bear another hue.
:35:54
For all the water of the ocean
:35:55
could never turn
a swan's black legs to white
:35:58
although she lave them hourly
in the flood.
:36:11
Tell the empress from me
:36:13
that I am of age to keep mine own.
:36:15
Excuse it how she can.
:36:18
Wilt thou betray
thy noble mistress thus?
:36:21
My mistress is my mistress.
:36:24
This...
:36:26
myself--
:36:28
The vigor and the picture
of my youth.
:36:32
This before all the world
do I prefer.
:36:35
This, 'spite all the world,
will I keep safe,
:36:38
or some of you
shall smoke for it in Rome.
:36:42
By this our mother
is forever shamed.
:36:44
The emperor in his rage
will doom her death.
:36:47
I blush to think
upon this ignomy.
:36:49
Why, there's the privilege
your beauty bears.
:36:53
Fie, treacherous hue,
that will betray with blushing
:36:56
the close enacts
and counsels of the heart!
