he face, And double-dye your coral lips with blood? Hath he not torn those gold wires from your head, Wherewith Apollo would have strung his harp, And kept them to play music to the gods? Hath he not beat you, and with his rude fists Upon that crimson temperature of your cheeks Laid a lead colour with his boist'rous blows? ANS. And can you love him yet? FUL. Then did he not, Either by poison or some other plot, Send you to death where, by his providence, God hath preserved you by that wond'rous miracle? Nay, after death, hath he not scandalis'd Your place with an immodest courtesan? ANS. And can you love him yet? MRS ART. And yet, and yet, And still, and ever whilst I breathe this air: Nay, after death, my unsubstantial soul, Like a good angel, shall attend on him, And keep him from all harm.

Not have my will! yes, I will have my will; Shall I not go abroad but when you please? Can I not now and then meet with my friends, But, at my coming home, you will control me? Marry, come up! Y. ART. Where art thou, patience? Nay, rather, where's become my former spleen? I had a wife would not have us'd me so. MRS MA. Why, you Jacksauce! you cuckold! you what-not! What, am I not of age sufficient To go and come still, when my pleasure serves, But must I have you, sir, to question me? Not have my will! yes, I will have my will. Y. ART. I had a wife would not have us'd me so; But she is dead. BRA. Not have her will, sir! she shall have her will: She says she will, and, sir, I say she shall. Not have
