Will win her love again? my death must doe it: And if that sacrifice can purge my follies, Be pleas'd, O mightie Love, I dye thy servant-- [_Exit._ _ACTUS QUINTUS. SCENA PRIMA._ _Enter_ Leontius, _and_ Celia. _Leo_. I know he do's not deserve ye; h'as us'd you poorly: And to redeem himself-- _Cel_. Redeem? _Leo_. I know it-- There's no way left. _Cel_. For Heavens sake do not name him, Do not think on him Sir, he's so far from me In all my thoughts now, methinks I never knew him. _Leo_. But yet I would see him again. _Cel_. No, never, never. _Leo_. I do not mean to lend him any comfort; But to afflict him, so to torture him; That even his very Soul may shake within him: To make him know, though he be great and powerfull, 'Tis not within his aim to deal dishonourably, And carry it off; and with a maid of your sort. _Cel_. I must confess, I could most spightfully afflict him; Now, now, I could whet my anger at him; Now arm'd with bitterness, I could shoot through him; I long to vex him. _Leo_. And doe it home, and bravely. _Cel_. Were I a man! _Leo_. I'le help that weakness in ye: I honour ye, and serve ye. _Cel_. Not only to disclaim me, When he had seal'd his vowes in Heaven, sworn to me, And poor believing I became his servant: But most maliciously to brand my credit, Stain my pure name. _Leo_. I would not suffer it: See him I would again, and to his teeth too: Od's precious, I would ring him such a lesson-- _Cel_. I have done that already. _Leo_. Nothing, nothing: It was too poor a purge; besides, by this time He has found his fault, and feels the hells that follow it. That, and your urg'd on anger to the highest, Why, 'twill be such a stroak-- _Cel_. Say he repent then, And seek with tears to soften, I am a woman; A woman that have lov'd him, Sir, have honour'd him: I am no more. _Leo_. Why, you may deal thereafter. _Cel_. If I forgive him, I am lost. _Leo_. Hold there then, The sport will be to what a poor submission-- But keep you strong. _Cel_. I would not see him. _Leo_. Yes, You shall Ring his knell. _Cel_. How if I kill him? _Leo_. Kill him? why, let him dye. _Cel_. I know 'tis fit so. But why should I that lov'd him once, destroy him? O had he scap't this sin, what a brave Gentleman-- _Leo_. I must confess, had this not faln, a nobler, A handsomer, the whole world had not show'd ye: And to his making such a mind-- _
