I, but yet

Let vs be keene, and rather cut a little

Then fall, and bruise to death: alas, this gentleman

Whom I would saue, had a most noble father,

Let but your honour know

(Whom I beleeue to be most strait in vertue)

That in

the working of your owne affections,

Had time coheard with Place, or place with wishing,

Or that the resolute acting of our blood

Could haue attaind th' effect of your owne

purpose,

Whether you had not sometime in your life

Er'd in this point, which now you censure him,

And puld the Law vpon you.
