36503281No more of that: I pray you in your letters,

36513282When you shall these vnlucky deedes relate,

36523283Speake of them as they are; nothing extenuate,

36533284Nor set downe ought in malice, then must you speake,

36553285Of one that lou'd not wisely, but too well:

36563286Of one not easily iealous, but being wrought,

36573287Perplext in the extreame; of one whose hand,

36583288Like the base Indian, threw a pearle away,

36593289Richer then all his Tribe: of one whose subdued eyes,

36603290Albeit vnused to the melting moode,

36613291Drops teares as fast as the Arabian trees,

36623292Their medicinall gum; set you downe this,

36633293And say besides, that in Aleppo once,

36643294Where a Malignant and a Turb and Turke,

36653295Beate a Venetian, and traduc'd the State;

36663296I tooke bi'th throate the circumcised dog,

36673297And smote him thus. He stabs himselfe.

36683298Lod. O bloody period.

36693299Gra. All that's spoke is mard.

36703300Oth. I kist thee ere I kild thee, no way but this,

36713301Killing my selfe, to die vpon a kisse. He dies.

36723302Cas. This did I feare, but thought he had no weapon,

36733303For he was great of heart.

36743304Lod. O Spartane dog,

36753305More fell then anguish, hunger, or the Sea,

36763306Looke on the tragicke lodging of this bed:

36773307This is thy worke, the obiect poisons sight,

36793308Let it be hid: Gratiano, keepe the house,

36803309And ceaze vpon the fortunes of the Moore:

36813310For they succeed to you, to you Lord Gouernour,

36823311Remaines the censure of this hellish villaine,

36833312The time, the place, the torture: O inforce it,

36843313My selfe will straite aboord, and to the State,

36853314This heauy act with heauy heart relate.
