 The Two Noble Kinsmen. 
 2996Scaena 3. Enter Theseus, Hipolita, Emilia, Perithous: and 
 2997some Attendants, T. Tucke: Curtis.
 2998Emil. Ile no step further.
 2999Per. Will you loose this sight?
 3000Emil. I had rather see a wren hawke at a fly
 3001Then this decision ev'ry; blow that falls
 3002Threats a brave life, each stroake laments
 3003The place whereon it fals, and sounds more like
 3004A Bell, then blade: I will stay here,
 3005It is enough my hearing shall be punishd,
 3006With what shall happen, gainst the which there is
 3007No deaffing, but to heare; not taint mine eye
 3008With dread sights, it may shun.
 3009Pir. Sir, my good Lord
 3010Your Sister will no further.
 3011Thes. Oh she must.
 3012She shall see deeds of honour in their kinde,
 3013Which sometime show well pencild. Nature now
 3014Shall make, and act the Story, the beleife
 3015Both seald with eye, and eare; you must be present,
 3016You are the victours meede, the price, and garlond
 3017To crowne the Questions title.
 3018Emil. Pardon me,
 3019If I were there, I'ld winke
 3020Thes. You must be there;
 3021This Tryall is as t'wer i'th night, and you
 3022The onely star to shine.
 3023Emil. I am extinct,
 3024There is but envy in that light, which showes
 3025The one the other: darkenes which ever was
 3026The dam of horrour, who do's stand accurst
 3027Of many mortall Millions, may even now
 3028By casting her blacke mantle over both
 3029That neither could finde other, get her selfe
 3030Some part of a good name, and many a murther
 3031Set off wherto she's guilty.
 3032Hip. You must goe.
 3033Emil, In faith I will not.
   Thes.
