Luc. Why how now Claudio? whence comes this restraint

Cla. From too much liberty, (my Lucio) Liberty

As surfet is the father of much fast,

So euery Scope by the immoderate vse

Turnes to restraint: Our Natures doe pursue

Like Rats that rauyn downe their proper Bane,

A thirsty euill, and when we drinke, we die

Luc. If I could speake so wisely vnder an arrest, I

would send for certaine of my Creditors: and yet, to say

the truth, I had as lief haue the foppery of freedome, as

the mortality of imprisonment: what's thy offence,

Claudio?

Cla. What (but to speake of) would offend againe

Luc. What, is't murder?

Cla. No

Luc. Lecherie?

Cla. Call it so
