Why then you must: but heare thee Gratiano,

Thou art to wilde, to rude, and bold of voyce,

Parts that become thee happily enough,

And in such eyes as ours appeare not faults;

But where they are not knowne, why there they show

Something too liberall, pray thee take paine

To allay with some cold drops of modestie

Thy skipping spirit, least through thy wilde behauiour

I be misconsterd in the place I goe to,

And loose my hopes.
