in the minds of men) Thousands when they shall know what I deliver, (As all good men must share in't) will to shame Blast your black memory. _Lady._ How is this good Sir? _Elder Lo._ 'Tis that, that if you have a soul will choak it: Y'ave kill'd a Gentleman. _Lady._ I kill'd a Gentleman! _Elder Lo._ You and your cruelty have kill'd him Woman, And such a man (let me be angry in't) Whose least worth weighed above all womens vertues That are; I spare you all to come too: guess him now? _Lady._ I am so innocent I cannot Sir. _Elder Lo_.

Or if you'l call in more, if any more Come from this ruine, I shall justly suffer What they can say, I do confess my self A guiltie cause in this. I would say more, But grief is grown too great to be delivered. _Elder Lo._ I like this well: these women are strange things.
