hee, I conjure thee with resolution To slay that monster! Do not fail to do it! For, if thou dost, I would I had not spoke it. CLIN. Now try me; and, when next we hap to meet, The doctor lies stone dead at Clinton's feet. MAR. Nay, now I see thou lov'st me. CLIN. Say no more. If thou dost loathe him, he shall die therefore. MAR. To-morrow morning will he early rise To see Earl Lacy: meet him in the cloister, And make that place revenge his sanctuary. This night will I break open all the trunks, Rifle his caskets, rob him of his gold; And all the doctor's treasure shall be thine. If thou miscarry, yet this drink shall do it. _Enter_ CASTILIANO. CAS. My wife's impatience hath left me alone, And made my servant run, I know not whither. MAR. Peace! here is our eyesore. Clinton, leave us now. CLIN. Nay, now occasion smiles, and I will do it.

This was the day of my nativity, And therefore, sweet wife, let us revel it. MAR. Nay, I have little cause to joy at all. CAS. Thou Grossest still my mirth with discontents! If ever heretofore I have displeas'd thee, Sweet dame, I crave thy pardon now for all. This is my birthday, girl, I must rejoice: Ask what thou wilt, and I will give it thee. MAR. Should I but ask to lead a quiet life, You hardly would grant this unto your wife; Much less a thing that were of more import. CAS. Ask anything, and try if I'll deny thee. MAR.
