Ant. I am none, by this good light

Pau. Nor I: nor any

But one that's heere: and that's himselfe: for he,

The sacred Honor of himselfe, his Queenes,

His hopefull Sonnes, his Babes, betrayes to Slander,

Whose sting is sharper then the Swords; and will not

(For as the case now stands, it is a Curse

He cannot be compell'd too't) once remoue

The Root of his Opinion, which is rotten,

As euer Oake, or Stone was sound

Leo. A Callat

Of boundlesse tongue, who late hath beat her Husband,

And now bayts me: This Brat is none of mine,

It is the Issue of Polixenes.

Hence with it, and together with the Dam,

Commit them to the fire

Paul. It is yours:

And might we lay th' old Prouerb to your charge,

So like you, 'tis the worse. Behold (my Lords)

Although the Print be little, the whole Matter

And Coppy of the Father: (Eye, Nose, Lippe,

The trick of's Frowne, his Fore-head, nay, the Valley,

The pretty dimples of his Chin, and Cheeke; his Smiles:

The very Mold, and frame of Hand, Nayle, Finger.)

And thou good Goddesse Nature, which hast made it

So like to him that got it, if thou hast

The ordering of the Mind too, 'mongst all Colours

No Yellow in't, least she suspect, as he do's,

Her Children, not her Husbands

Leo. A grosse Hagge:

And Lozell, thou art worthy to be hang'd,

That wilt not stay her Tongue

Antig. Hang all the Husbands

That cannot doe that Feat, you'le leaue your selfe

Hardly one Subiect
