id mee, a man dares never touch.
_Cler._ Revenge your wounds now, madame; I resigne him
Up to your full will, since hee will not fight. 50
First you shall torture him (as hee did you,
And justice wils) and then pay I my vow.
Here, take this ponyard.
_Mont._ Sinke earth, open heaven,
And let fall vengeance!
_Tam._ Come sir, good sir, hold him.
_Mont._ O shame of women, whither art thou fled! 55
_Cler._ Why (good my lord) is it a greater shame
For her then you? come, I will be the bands
You us'd to her, prophaning her faire hands.
_Mont._ No, sir, Ile fight now, and the terror be
Of all you champions to such as shee. 60

_Mont._ Now I shall grace your conquest.
_Cler._ That you shall.
_Mont._ If you obtaine it.
_Cler._ True, sir, tis in fortune.
_Mont._ If you were not a D'Ambois, I would scarce 75
Change lives with you, I feele so great a change
In my tall spirits breath'd, I thinke, with the breath
A D'Ambois breathes here; and necessitie
(With whose point now prickt on, and so whose helpe
My hands may challenge) that doth all men conquer, 80
If shee except not you of all men onely,
May change the case here.
_Cler._ True, as you are chang'd;
Her power, in me urg'd, makes y'another man
Then yet you ever were.
_Mont._ Well, I must on.
_Cler._ Your lordship must by all meanes.
_Mont._ Then at all. 85
