You may, but I can only see her then.

Arb.

  ’Tis true;
  Bear her this Ring then, and
  One more advice, thou shall speak to her: 
  Tell her I do love My kindred all:  wilt thou?

Mar.

  Is there no more?

Arb.

  O yes and her the best;
  Better than any Brother loves his Sister:  That’s all.

Mar.

  Methinks this need not have been delivered with such a caution;
  I’le do it.

Arb.

  There is more yet,
  Wilt thou be faith[f]ul to me?

Mar.

  Sir, if I take upon me to deliver it, after I hear it, I’le pass
  through fire to do it.

Arb.

  I love her better than a Brother ought;
  Dost thou conceive me?

Mar.

  I hope you do not Sir.

Arb.

  No, thou art dull, kneel down before her,
  And ne’r rise again, till she will love me.

Mar.

  Why, I think she does.

Arb.

  But better than she does, another way;
  As wives love Husbands.

Mar.

  Why, I think there are few Wives that love their
  Husbands better than she does you.

Arb.

  Thou wilt not understand me:  is it fit
  This should be uttered plainly? take it then
  Naked as it is:  I would desire her love
  Lasciviously, lewdly, incestuously,
  To do a sin that needs must damn us both,
  And thee too:  dost thou understand me now?

Mar.

  Yes, there’s your Ring again; what have I done
  Dishonestly in my whole life, name it,
  That you should put so base a business to me?

Arb.

  Didst thou not tell me thou wouldst do it?

Mar.

  Yes; if I undertook it, but if all
  My hairs were lives, I would not be engag’d
  In such a case to save my last life.

Arb.

  O guilt! ha how poor and weak a thing art thou! 
  This man that is my servant, whom my breath
  Might blow upon the world, might beat me here
  Having this cause, whil’st I prest down with sin
  Could not resist him:  hear Mardonius,
  It was a motion mis-beseeming man,
  And I am sorry for it.

Mar.

Heaven grant you may be so:  you must understand, nothing that you can utter, can remove my love and service from my Prince.  But otherwise, I think I shall not love you more.  For you are sinful, and if you do this crime, you ought to have no Laws.  For after this, it will be great injustice in you to punish any offender for any crime.  For my self I find my heart too big:  I feel I have not patience to look on whilst you run these forbidden courses.  Means I have none but your favour, and I am rather glad that I shall lose ’em both together, than keep ’em with such conditions; I shall find a dwelling amongst some people, where though our Garments perhaps be courser, we shall be richer far within, and harbour no such vices in ’em:  the Gods preserve you, and mend.

Arb.
