537498Bra. God bu'y, I ha done:
538499Plea
se it your Grace, on to the State a
ffaires;
539500I had rather to adopt a child then get it;
541502I here doe giue thee that, with all my heart
543503I would keepe from thee: for your
sake Iewell,
544504I am glad at
soule. I haue no other child,
545505For thy e
scape would teach me tyranny,
546506To hang clogs on em, I haue done my Lord.
547507Du. Let me
speake like your
selfe, and lay a
sentence
549508Which as a gree
se or
step may helpe the
se louers
550510When remedies are pa
st, the griefes are ended,
551511By
seeing the wor
st, which late on hopes depended,
552512To mourne a mi
scheife that is pa
st and gone,
553513Is the next way to draw more mi
schiefe on;
554514What cannot be pre
seru'd when fortune takes,
555515Patience her iniury a mockery makes.
556516The rob'd that
smiles,
steales
something from the thiefe,
557517He robs him
selfe, that
spends a bootele
sse griefe.
558518Bra. So let the
Turke, of
Cypres vs beguile,
559519We lo
se it not
so long as we can
smile;
560520He beares the
sentence well that nothing beares,
561521But the free comfort, which from thence he heares:
562522But he beares both the
sentence and the
sorrow,
563523That to pay griefe, mu
st of poore patience borrow.
564524The
se
sentences to
sugar, or to gall,
565525Being
strong on both
sides, are equiuocall:
566526But words are words, I neuer yet did heare,
567527That the bruis'd heart was pierced through the eare
: 568528Be
seech you now, to the a
ffaires of the
state.
569529Du. The
Turke with mo
st mighty preparation makes for
Cipres:
570530Othello, the fortitude of the place, is be
st knowne to you, and tho we
571531haue there a
sub
stitute of mo
st allowed
su
fficiency, yet opinion, a
so
- 573532ueraigne mi
stre
sse of e
ffe
cts, throwes a more
safer voyce on you; you
574533mu
st therefore bee content to
slubber the glo
sse of your new for
- 575534tunes, with this more
stubborne and boi
sterous expedition.
