Fran. Your love is untimely sown; there 's a spring at Michaelmas, but 'tis but a faint one: I am sunk in years, and I have vowed never to marry.

Zan. Alas! poor maids get more lovers than husbands: yet you may mistake my wealth.

Fran. I 'll think on the motion.

Zan. Do; I 'll now detain you no longer. At your better leisure, I 'll tell you things shall startle your blood: Nor blame me that this pa.s.sion I reveal; Lovers die inward that their flames conceal.

Fran. Of all intelligence this may prove the best: Sure I shall draw strange fowl from this foul nest. [Exeunt.

Corn. I hear a whispering all about the court, You are to fight: who is your opposite?

What is the quarrel?

Marc. 'Tis an idle rumour.

Corn. Ha! Oh, my horror!

Marc. You have brought it home, indeed.

Corn. Help! Oh, he 's murder'd!

Flam. Do you turn your gall up? I 'll to sanctuary, And send a surgeon to you. [Exit.

Hort. How! o' th' ground!

Marc. Oh, mother, now remember what I told Of breaking of the crucifix! Farewell.

There are some sins, which heaven doth duly punish In a whole family. This it is to rise By all dishonest means! Let all men know, That tree shall long time keep a steady foot, Whose branches spread no wider than the root. [Dies.

Corn. Oh, my perpetual sorrow!

Hort. Virtuous Marcello!

He 's dead. Pray leave him, lady: come, you shall.

Corn. Alas! he is not dead; he 's in a trance. Why, here 's n.o.body shall get anything by his death. Let me call him again, for G.o.d's sake!

Hort. You see he is departed.

Corn. Let me come to him; give me him as he is, if he be turn'd to earth; let me but give him one hearty kiss, and you shall put us both in one coffin. Fetch a looking-gla.s.s: see if his breath will not stain it; or pull out some feathers from my pillow, and lay them to his lips.
