as were my hopes,
I cannot urge thee further; but thou wert
To blame to injure me, for I must love
Thy honest looks, and take no revenge upon
Thy tender youth; A love from me to thee

_Are_. None but my single self, I need no Guard,
I do no wrong, nor fear none.
_King_. Tell me: have you not a boy?
_Are_. Yes Sir.
_King_. What kind of boy?
_Are_. A Page, a waiting boy.
_King_. A handsome boy?
_Are_. I think he be not ugly:
Well qualified, and dutiful, I know him,
I took him not for beauty.
