3246Put out the Light, and then put out the Light:
3248I can againe thy former light restore,
3249Should I repent me. But once put out thy Light,
3250Thou cunning'st Patterne of excelling Nature,
3251I know not where is that Promethaean heate
3252That can thy Light re-Lume.
3253When I haue pluck'd thy Rose,
3254I cannot giue it vitall growth againe,
3257Iustice to breake her Sword. One more, one more:
3258Be thus when thou art dead, and I will kill thee,
3259And loue thee after. One more, and that's the last.

3273Oth. Well, do it, and be breefe, I will walke by:
3274I would not kill thy vnprepared Spirit,
3275No, Heauens fore-fend) I would not kill thy Soule.
3276Des. Talke you of killing?
3277Oth. I, I do.
3278Des. Then Heauen haue mercy on mee.
