Alternate Text:<\/em><\/span><\/strong>

Du. 
2273.  Why should I not, (had I the heart to do it)
2274.  Like to th'Egyptian theefe, at point of death
2275.  Kill what I loue: (a sauage iealousie,
2276.  That sometime sauours nobly) but heare me this:
2277.  Since you to non-regardance cast my faith,
2278.  And that I partly know the instrument
2279.  That screwes me from my true place in your fauour:
2280.  Liue you the Marble-brested Tirant still.
2281.  But this your Minion, whom I know you loue,
2282.  And whom, by heauen I sweare, I tender deerely,
2283.  Him will I teare out of that cruell eye,
2284.  Where he sits crowned in his masters spight.
2285.  Come boy with me, my thoughts are ripe in mischiefe:
2286.  Ile sacrifice the Lambe that I do loue,
2287.  To spight a Rauens heart within a Doue.

Vio. 
2288.  And I most iocund, apt, and willinglie,
2289.  To do you rest, a thousand deaths would dye.

Ol. 
2290.  Where goes Cesario?

Vio. 
2291.  After him I loue,
2292.  More then I loue these eyes, more then my life,
2293.  More by all mores, then ere I shall loue wife.
2294.  If I do feigne, you witnesses aboue
2295.  Punish my life, for tainting of my loue.

Ol. 
2296.  Aye me detested, how am I beguil'd?

Vio. 
2297.  Who does beguile you? who does do you wrong?

Ol. 
2298.  Hast thou forgot thy selfe? Is it so long?
2299.  Call forth the holy Father.

Du. 
2300.  Come, away.

Ol. 
2301.  Whether my Lord? Cesario, Husband, stay.

Du. 
2302.  Husband?

Ol. 
2303.  I Husband. Can he that deny?

Du. 
2304.  Her husband, sirrah?

Vio. 
2305.  No my Lord, not I.

Ol. 
2306.  Alas, it is the basenesse of thy feare,
2307.  That makes thee strangle thy propriety:
2308.  Feare not Cesario, take thy fortunes vp,
2309.  Be that thou know'st thou art, and then thou art
2310.  As great as that thou fear'st.
