762And the enjoying of our greefes together.

763Whilst Palamon is with me, let me perish

764If I thinke this our prison.

765Pala. Certeinly,

766Tis a maine goodnes Cosen, that our fortunes

767Were twyn'd together; tis most true, two soules

768Put in two noble Bodies, let'em suffer

769The gaule of hazard, so they grow together,

770Will never sincke, they must not, say they could,

771A willing man dies sleeping, and all's done.

772Arc. Shall we make worthy uses of this place

773That all men hate so much?

774Pal. How gentle Cosen?

775Arc. Let's thinke this prison, holy sanctuary,

776To keepe us from corruption of worse men,

777We are young and yet desire the waies of honour,

778That liberty and common Conversation

779The poyson of pure spirits; might like women

780Wooe us to wander from. What worthy blessing

781Can be but our Imaginations

782May make it ours? And heere being thus together,

783We are an endles mine to one another;

784We are one anothers wife, ever begetting

785New birthes of love; we are father, friends, acquaintance,

786We are in one another, Families,

787I am your heire, and you are mine: This place

788Is our Inheritance: no hard Oppressour

789Dare take this from us; here with a little patience

790We shall live long, and loving: No surfeits seeke us:

791The hand of war hurts none here, nor the Seas

792Swallow their youth: were we at liberty,

793A wife might part us lawfully, or busines,

794Quarrels consume us, Envy of ill men

795Crave our acquaintance, I might sicken Cosen,

796Where you should never know it, and so perish

797Without your noble hand to close mine eies,

798Or praiers to the gods; a thousand chaunces

799Were we from hence, would seaver us.

D3 Pal.
