ou liv'st, and such diseases
As use to pay lust, recompence thy deed.
_Gob_.
You doe not know why you curse thus.
_Arb_.
Too well:
You are a paire of Vipers, and behold
The Serpent you have got; there is no beast
But if he knew, it has a pedigree
As brave as mine, for they have more discents,
And I am every way as beastly got,
As farre without the compasse of a law,
As they.
_Ara_.
You spend your rage, and words in vaine,
And raile upon a guesse: heare us a little.
_Arb_.
No I will never heare, but talke away
My breath, and die.
_Gob_.
Why but you are no Bastard.
_Arb_.
Howe's that?
_Ara_.
Nor childe of mine.
_Arb_.
Still you goe on in wonders to me.
_Gob_.
Pray be more patient, I may bring comfort to you.
_Arb_.
I will kneele,
And heare with the obedience of a childe;
Good Father speake, I doe acknowledge you,
So you bring comfort.
_Gob_.
First know our last King your supposed Father
Was olde and feeble when he marryed her,
And almost all the Land as shee past hope
Of issue from him.
_Arb_.

To play the whoore, because the King was old:
Is this the comfort?
_Ara_.
What will you find out
To give me satisfaction, when you find
How you have injur'd me: let fire consume mee,
If ever I were whore.
_Gob_.
Forbeare these starts,
Or I will leave you wedded to despaire,
As you are now: if you can find a temper,
My breath shall be a pleasant westerne wind,
That cooles, and blastes not.
_Arb_.
Bring it out good Father,
He lie, artd listen here as reverentlie
As to an Angell: If I breathe too loude,
Tell me; for I would be as still as night.
_Gob_.
Our King I say was old, and this our Queene
Desired to bring an heire; but yet her husband
Shee thought was past it, and to be dishonest
I thinke shee would not; if shee would have beene,
The truth is, shee was watcht so narrowlie,
And had so slender opportunitie,
Shee hardly could have beene: But yet her cunning
Found out this way; shee fain'd her selfe with child,
And postes were sent in haste throughout the Land,
And God was humbly thankt in every Church,
That so had blest the Queen, and prayers were made
For her safe going, and deliverie:
Shee fain'd now to grow bigger, and perceiv'd
This hope of issue made her feard, and brought
A farre more l
