eed,
And know not what I do; yet have a care
Of me in what thou doest.

_Mel_. Why thinks my friend I will forget his honour, or to save
The bravery of our house, will lose his fame,
And fear to touch the Throne of Majesty?

_Amint_. A curse will follow that, but rather live
And suffer with me.

_Mel_. I will do what worth shall bid me, and no more.

_Diph_. Must they?

_Mel_. They must: thou art my Brother, and if I did believe
Thou hadst a base thought, I would rip it out,
Lie where it durst.

_Diph_. You should not, I would first mangle my self and find it.

_Mel_. That was spoke according to our strain; come
Joyn thy hands to mine,
And swear a firmness to what project I shall lay
before thee.

_Diph_. You do wrong us both;
People hereafter shall not say there past
A bond more than our loves, to tie our lives
And deaths together.

_Mel_. It is as nobly said as I would wish;
Anon I'le tell you wonders; we are wrong'd.

_Diph_. But I will
