ou,
Being one to onely one.
_Mont._ O bloudy strumpet!
_Cler._ With what bloud charge you her? it may be mine
As well as yours; there shall not any else 10
Enter or touch you: I conferre no guards,
Nor imitate the murtherous course you tooke,
But single here will have my former challenge
Now answer'd single; not a minute more
My brothers bloud shall stay for his revenge, 15
If I can act it; if not, mine shall adde
A double conquest to you, that alone
Put it to fortune now, and use no ods.
Storme not, nor beate your selfe thus gainst the dores,
Like to a savage vermine in a trap: 20
All dores are sure made, and you cannot scape

For you to show your backe.
_Mont._ By all truth, no:
Take but my honourable othe, I will not.
_Cler._ Your honourable othe! Plaine truth no place has
Where othes are honourable.
_Tam._ Trust not his othe. 40
Hee will lie like a lapwing; when shee flyes
Farre from her sought nest, still "Here tis" shee cryes.
_Mont._ Out on thee, damme of divels! I will quite
Disgrace thy bravos conquest, die, not fight. _Lyes downe._
_Tam._ Out on my fortune, to wed such an abject! 45
Now is the peoples voyce the voyce of God;
Hee that to wound a woman vants so much,
