-Doctor, your service for this time is ended;
Take your own way.

Cor. I do suspect you, Madam; [Aside. But you shall do no harin.

Queen. Hark thee, word.' [To Pisanio, Cor. folus.] I do not like her. She doth think

she has
Strange ling‘ring poisons; I do know her spirit,
And will not trust one of her malice with
A drug of such damn'd nature. Those she has
Will stupify and dull the sense a while ;
Which firti, perchance, she'll prove on cats and

dogs,
Then afterwards up higher ; but there is
No danger in what shew of death it makes,
More than the locking up the spirits a time,
To be more fresh, reviving. She is fool'd
With a most false effect ; and I the truer,
So to be false with her.

Queen. No further service, Doctor,
Until I send for thee.
Cor. I humbly take my leave.

-You are as welcome, worthy Sir, as I
Have words to bid you; and Maht find it so,
In all that I can do

Iach. Thanks, faireft Lady. -What! are men mad? hath nature giv’n them eyes

He did incline to sadness, and oft-times
Not knowing why.

Jach. I never saw him fad.
There is a Frenchman his companion, one,
An eminent Monsieur, that it seems much loves
A Gallian girl at home, he furnaces

Oh!

By history, report, or his own proof,
What woman is, yea, what she cannot chufe

Will's free hours languish for assured bondage ?

Imo. Will my Lord say so?

laughter
It is a recreation to be by,

Jach. Two creatures beartily.

Imo. Am I one, Sir ?
You look on me : what wreck discern you in me:

To hide me from the radiant fun, and solace.
