24812327Edg. Gon sir, farewell, and yet I know not how conceite may

24822328rob the treasury of life, when life it selfe yeelds to the theft: had

24842329he bene where he thought, by this thought had been past: Aliue

24852330or dead? Ho you sir, heare you sir, speake, thus might hee passe

24872331indeed, yet he reuiues, what are you sir?

24892332Glo. Away, and let me dye.

24902333Edg. Hadst thou bene ought but gosmore feathers ayre,

24922334So many fadome downe precipitating,

24932335Thou hadst shiuerd like an Egge, but thou dost breath,

24942336Hast heauy substance, bleedst not, speakst, art sound:

25142356Edg. As I stood heere below, methought his eyes
