27662535Falst. Tis not due yet, I would be loath to pay him before his

27672536day, what need I be so forwarde with him that cals not on mee?

27682537Well, tis no matter, honor prickes me on; yea, but how if honor

27692538pricke me off when I come on? how then can honor set to a leg?

27702539no, or an arme? no, or take away the griefe of a wound? no, ho-

27722540nor hath no skil in surgerie then? no, what is honor? a word, what

27732541is in that word honor? what is that honour? aire, a trim recko-

27742542ning. Who hath it? he that died a Wednesday, doth he feele it?

27752543no, doth he heare it? no, tis insensible thẽ? yea, to the dead, but wil

27932559Will haue a wilde tricke of his ancesters,

27942560Looke how we can, or sad or merely,

27952561Interpretation will misquote our lookes,

27962562And we shall feed like oxen at a stall,

27972563The better cherisht still the nearer death,
