l things in common? Without priority? 'Sdeath! you perpetual curs, Fall to your couples again, and cozen kindly, And heartily, and lovingly, as you should, And lose not the beginning of a term, Or, by this hand, I shall grow factious too, And take my part, and quit you. FACE. 'Tis his fault; He ever murmurs, and objects his pains, And says, the weight of all lies upon him. SUB. Why, so it does. DOL. How does it? do not we Sustain our parts? SUB.
