230.\u00a0 Was ever woman in this humor wooed?
\n231.\u00a0 Was ever woman in this humor won?\u00a0.
\n232.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ll have her, but I will not keep her long
\n233. What, I that killed her husband and his father,
\n234.\u00a0\u00a0To take her in her heart\u2019s extremest hate,
\n235.\u00a0\u00a0With curses in her mouth, tears in her eyes,
\n236.\u00a0\u00a0The bleeding witness of my hatred by,
\n237.\u00a0\u00a0Having God, her conscience, and these bars against me,
\n238.\u00a0\u00a0And I no friends to back my suit at all
\n239.\u00a0\u00a0But the plain devil and dissembling looks?
\n240.\u00a0\u00a0And yet to win her, all the world to nothing!
\n241.\u00a0\u00a0Ha!
\n242.\u00a0\u00a0Hath she forgot already that brave prince,
\n243.\u00a0\u00a0Edward, her lord, whom I some three months since
\n244.\u00a0\u00a0Stabbed in my angry mood at Tewkesbury?
\n245.\u00a0\u00a0A sweeter and a Lovellier gentleman,
\n246.\u00a0\u00a0Framed in the prodigality of nature,
\n247.\u00a0\u00a0Young, valiant, wise, and, no doubt, right royal,
\n248.\u00a0\u00a0The spacious world cannot again afford.
\n249.\u00a0\u00a0And will she yet abase her eyes on me,
\n250.\u00a0\u00a0That cropped the golden prime of this sweet prince
\n251.\u00a0\u00a0And made her widow to a woeful bed?
\n252.\u00a0\u00a0On me, whose all not equals Edward\u2019s moiety?
\n253.\u00a0\u00a0On me, that halts and am misshapen thus?
\n254.\u00a0\u00a0My dukedom to a beggarly denier,
\n255.\u00a0\u00a0I do mistake my person all this while!
\n256.\u00a0\u00a0Upon my life, she finds, although I cannot,
\n257.\u00a0\u00a0Myself to be a marv’lous proper man.
\n258.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ll be at charges for a looking glass
\n259.\u00a0\u00a0And entertain a score or two of tailors
\n260.\u00a0\u00a0To study fashions to adorn my body.
\n261.\u00a0 Since I am crept in favor with myself,
\n262.\u00a0 I will maintain it with some little cost.
\n263.\u00a0 But first I\u2019ll turn yon fellow in his grave
\n264.\u00a0 And then return lamenting to my love.
\n265.\u00a0 Shine out, fair sun, till I have bought a glass,
\n266.\u00a0 That I may see my shadow as I pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
