above._ _Lam._ Now they are above. _Ana._ I would they were i'th' Center. _Lam._ Thou art so foolish desperate. _Ana._ Since we must lose. _Lam._ Call 'em brave fellows, Gentlemen. _Ana._ Call 'em rogues, Rogues as they are, rude rogues, uncivil villains. _Lam._ Look an thou woo't beware, dost thou feel the danger? _Ana._ Till the danger feel me, thus will I talk still, And worse when that comes too; they cannot eat me. This is a punishment, upon our own prides Most justly laid; we must abuse brave Gentlemen, Make 'em tame fools, and hobby-horses, laugh and jear at Such men too, and so handsom and so Noble, That howsoe're we seem'd to carry it-- Wou'd 'twere to do again. _Lam._ I do confess cousin, I was too harsh, too foolish. _Ana._ Do you feel it?
