 The Two Noble Kinsmen. 
 952And in this madnes, if I hazard thee
 953And take thy life, I deale but truely.
 954Arc. Fie Sir.
 955You play the Childe extreamely: I will love her,
 956I must, I ought to doe so, and I dare,
 957And all this justly.
 958Pal. O that now, that now
 959Thy false-selfe and thy friend, had but this fortune
 960To be one howre at liberty, and graspe
 961Our good Swords in our hands, I would quickly teach thee
 962What tw'er to filch affection from another:
 963Thou art baser in it then a Cutpurse;
 964Put but thy head out of this window more,
 965And as I have a soule, Ile naile thy life too't.
 966Arc. Thou dar'st not foole, thou canst not, thou art feeble.
 967Put my head out? Ile throw my Body out,
 968And leape the garden, when I see her next
 969Enter Keeper.
 970And pitch between her armes to anger thee.
 971Pal. No more; the keeper's comming; I shall live
 972To knocke thy braines out with my Shackles.
 973Arc. Doe.
 974Keeper. By your leave Gentlemen.
 975Pala. Now honest keeper?
 976Keeper. Lord Arcite, you must presently to'th Duke;
 977The cause I know not yet.
 978Arc. I am ready keeper.
 979Keeper, Prince Palamon, I must awhile bereave you
 980Of your faire Cosens Company.
 981Exeunt Arcite, and Keeper.
 982Pal. And me too,
 983Even when you please of life; why is he sent for?
 984It may be he shall marry her, he's goodly,
 985And like enough the Duke hath taken notice
 986Both of his blood and body: But his falsehood,
 987Why should a friend be treacherous? If that
 988Get him a wife so noble, and so faire;
 989Let honest men ne're love againe. Once more
