Could penetrate the corners of my heart,
That thou might see how much I tender thee.
My friends, beholde, within this little bulke
Two perfect bodyes are incorporate;
His life holdes mine, his heart conteines my hart,
His every lim containes my every part;
Without his being I can never be,
He being dead, prepare to bury me.
Oh thou immortall mover of the spheares
Within their circled revolusions,
Whose glorious image this small orphant beares,
Wrought by thy all-sufficient majestie,
Oh never suffer any wicked hand
To harme this heavenly workmanship of thine,
But let him live, great God, to honor thee
With vertuous life and spotlesse pietie!
_Per_. Cease, my kind cooze; I cannot choose but weepe,
To see your care of my securitie.
_Allen_.--Knewst thou my reason, that perswades my hart,
Thou wouldst not wonder, why I grieve to part:
But yet I would suspect my fathers vowe,
Did any other make it by your leave.
_Fall_. What have you done? this lothnesse to depart,
Seemes you were trained up in tediousnesse,
Thou knowst not when and where to make an end.
Take him my friends, I know you will discharge
The hope and trust that I repose in you.
_Both_. Assure your selfe, in every circumstance.
_Fall_. Then to your horses quicklie, speedily,
Else we shall put our fingers in the eye,
And weepe for kindnesse till tomorrow morne.
_Per_. Farewell good Unckle, Aunt, and loving cooze.
[_Sostratus [sic] kisseth the boy weeping_.
_Allen_. Farewell.--I fear me everlastinglie.
[_Exeunt Sostratus and Allenso_.
[_One of the Murtherers takes Falleria by the sleeve_.
1 _mu_. You meane not now to have him murthered?
_Fall_. Not murthered, what else? kill him, I say:
But wherefore makes thou question of my will?
_Mur_. Because you wisht that God should be revenged,
If any ill betide the innocent.
_Fall_. Oh that was nothing but to blind the eyes
Of my fond sonne, which loves him too too well.
_Mer_. It is enough, it shall be surely done.
[_Exeunt om_.
[SCENE VI.]
_Enter Merry and Rachel with a bag_.
_Mer_. What, hast thou sped? have you bought the bag?
_Rach_. I, brother, here it is; what is't to do?
_Mer_. To beare hence _Beeches_ body in the night.
_Rach_. You cannot beare so great a waight your selfe,
And tis no trusting of another man.
_Mer_. Yes well enough, as I will order it.
Ile cut him peece-meale; first
