| First Lord |
Sir, I would advise you to shift a shirt;
the |
|
shift: change |
|
violence of action hath made you reek as a |
|
|
|
sacrifice: where air comes out, air comes in: |
|
|
|
there's none abroad so wholesome as that you vent. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Cloten |
If my shirt were bloody, then to shift it. Have I hurt
him? |
5 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
[aside] No, 'faith; not so much as his patience. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| First Lord |
Hurt him! his body's a passable carcass, if he be |
|
|
|
not hurt: it is a thoroughfare for steel, if it be
not hurt. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
[aside] His steel was in debt; it went o' the |
|
n.b. |
|
backside the town. |

|
|
|
|
|
| Cloten |
The villain would not stand me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
[aside] No; but he fled forward still, toward your face. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| First Lord |
Stand you! You have land enough of your own: but |
|
|
|
he added to your having; gave you some ground. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
[aside] As many inches as you have oceans.
Puppies! |
15 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Cloten |
I would they had not come between us. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
[aside] So would I, till you had measured how long |
|
|
|
a fool you were upon the ground. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Cloten |
And that she should love this fellow and refuse me! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
[aside] If it be a sin to make a true election,
she |
20 |
n.b. |
|
is damned. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| First Lord |
Sir, as I told you always, her beauty and her brain |
|
|
|
go not together: she's a good sign, but I have seen |
|
n.b. |
|
small reflection of her wit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
[aside] She shines not upon fools, lest the |
25 |
|
|
reflection should hurt her. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Cloten |
Come, I'll to my chamber. Would there had been some |
|
|
|
hurt done! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
[aside] I wish not so; unless it had been the fall |
|
|
|
of an ass, which is no great hurt. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Cloten |
You'll go with us? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| First Lord |
I'll attend your lordship. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Cloten |
Nay, come, let's go together. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second Lord |
Well, my lord. |
|
|
