Are ravisht from their object, as I were
A thing created for a wildernes,
And must not thinke of any place with men.
_Mom_. O harke you Sir, this waiward moode of yours
Must sifted be, or rather rooted out.
Youle no more musick Sir?
_Cla_. Not now, my Lord.
_Mom_. Begon my masters then to bedd, to bedd.
_Cla_. I thanke you, honest friends.
[_Exeunt Musicians_.
_Mo_. Hence with this book, and now, _Mounsieur Clarence_, me thinks
plaine and prose friendship would do excellent well betwixt us: come
thus, Sir, or rather thus, come. Sir, tis time I trowe that we both
liv'd like one body, thus, and that both our sides were slit, and
concorporat with _Organs_ fit to effect an individuall passage even for
our very thoughts; suppose we were one body now, and I charge you
beleeve it; whereof I am the hart, and you the liver.
_Cla_. Your Lordship might well make that division[12], if you knew the

that love, I saie. Come sir, why may you be the liver?
_Cla_. The plaine, and short truth is (my _Lord_) because I am all
liver, and turn'd lover.
_Mom_. Lover?
_Cla_. Lover, yfaith my _Lord_.
_Mom_. Now I prethee let me leape out of my skin for joy: why thou wilt

with the Austeritie of thy knowledge, dote on thee againe with thy
commanding shaft of their humours?
_Cla_. Alas, my Lord, they are all farre out of my aime; and only to fit
my selfe a little better to your friendshippe, have I given these

_Mom_. And yfaith is my sower friend to all worldly desires ouer taken
