s thy youth, and carrying comfort in't; All that I hoped for vertuous, is fled from thee, Turn'd black, and bankrupt. _Leo_. 'By'r Lady, this cuts shrewdly. _Dem_. Thou art dead, for ever dead; sins surfeit slew thee; The ambition of those wanton eyes betrai'd thee; Go from me, grave of honour; go thou foul one, Thou glory of thy sin; go thou despis'd one, And where there is no vertue, nor no virgin; Where Chastity was never known, nor heard of; Where nothing reigns but impious lust, and looser faces. Go thither, child of bloud, and sing my doating. _Cel_. You do not speak this seriously I hope Sir; I did but jest with you. _Dem_. Look not upon me, There is more hell in those eyes, than hell harbours; And when they flame, more torments. _Cel_. Dare ye trust me? You durst once even with all you had: your love Sir? By this fair light I am honest. _Dem_. Thou subtle _Circe_, Cast not upon the maiden light eclipses: Curse not the day. _Cel_. Come, come, you shall not do this: How fain you would seem angry now, to fright me; You are not in the field among your Enemies; Come, I must cool this courage. _Dem_.

And as you are noble, do you think I did this? _Dem_. Put all the Devils wings on, and flie from me. _Cel_. I will go from ye, never more to see ye: I will flie from ye, as a plague hangs o're me; And through the progress of my life hereafter; Where ever I shall find a fool, a false man, One that ne're knew the worth of polish'd vertue; A base suspecter of a virgins honour, A child that flings away the wealth he cri'd for, Him will I call _Demetrius_: that fool _Demetrius_, That mad man a _Demetrius_; and that false man, The Prince of broken faiths, even Prince _Demetrius_. You think now, I should cry, and kneel down to ye, Petition for my peace; let those that feel here The weight of evil, wait for such a favour, I am above your hate, as far above it, In all the actions of an innocent life, As t
