Two Noble Kinsmen (Quarto, 1634)

Author: William Shakespeare
Not Peer Reviewed
The Two Noble Kinsmen.
Yong, and unwapper'd not, halting under Crymes
Many and stale: that sure shall please the gods
Sooner than such, to give us Nectar with 'em,
For we are more cleare Spirits. My deare kinsemen.
3190Whose lives (for this poore comfort) are laid downe,
You have sould 'em too too cheape.
1. K. What ending could be
Of more content? ore us the victors have
Fortune, whose title is as momentary,
3195As to us death is certaine: A graine of honour
They not ore'-weigh us.
2. K. Let us bid farewell;
And with our patience, anger tottring Fortune,
Who at her certain'st reeles.
32003. K. Come? who begins?
Pal. Ev'n he that led you to this Banket, shall
Taste to you all: ah ha my Friend, my Friend,
Your gentle daughter gave me freedome once;
You'l see't done now for ever: pray how do'es she?
3205I heard she was not well; her kind of ill
gave me some sorrow.
Iaylor. Sir she's well restor'd,
And to be marryed shortly.
Pal. By my short life
3210I am most glad on't; Tis the latest thing
I shall be glad of, pre'thee tell her so:
Commend me to her, and to peece her portion
Tender her this.
1. K. Nay lets be offerers all.
32152. K. Is it a maide?
Pal. Verily I thinke so,
A right good creature, more to me deserving
Then I can quight or speake of.
All K. Commend us to her.
They give their purses,
3220Iaylor. The gods requight you all,
And make her thankefull.
Pal. Adiew; and let my life be now as short,
As my leave taking.
Lies on the Blocke.
