Out with it Sir, if it be dangerous, I will not shrink to do you service, I shall not esteem my life a weightier matter than indeed it is, I know it is subject to more chances than it has hours, and I were better lose it in my Kings cause, than with an ague, or a fall, or sleeping, to a Thief; as all these are probable enough: let me but know what I shall do for you. _Arb_. It will not out: were you with _Gobrias_, And bad him give my Sister all content The place affords, and give her leave to send And speak to whom she please? _Mar_. Yes Sir, I was. _Arb_. And did you to _Bacurius_ say as much About _Tigranes_? _Mar_. Yes. _Arb_. That's all my business. _Mar_. O say not so, You had an answer of this before; Besides I think this business might Be utter'd more carelesly. _Arb_. Come thou shalt have it out, I do beseech thee By all the love thou hast profest to me, To see my Sister from me. _Mar_. Well, and what? _Arb_. That's all. _Mar_. That's strange, I shall say nothing to her? _Arb_. Not a word; But if thou lovest me, find some subtil way To make her understand by signs. _Mar_. But what shall I make her understand? _Arb_. O _Mardonius_, for that I must be pardon'd. _Mar_. You may, but I can only see her then. _Arb_. 'Tis true; Bear her this Ring then, and One more advice, thou shall speak to her: Tell her I do love My kindred all: wilt thou? _Mar_. Is there no more? _Arb_. O yes and her the best; Better than any Brother loves his Sister: That's all. _Mar_. Methinks this need not have been delivered with such a caution; I'le do it. _Arb_. There is more yet, Wilt thou be faith[f]ul to me? _Mar_. Sir, if I take upon me to deliver it, after I hear it, I'le pass through fire to do it. _Arb_. I love her better than a Brother ought; Dost thou conceive me? _Mar_. I hope you do not Sir. _Arb_. No, thou art dull, kneel down before her, And ne'r rise again, till she will love me. _Mar_. Why, I think she does. _Arb_. But better than she does, another way; As wives love Husbands. _Mar_. Why, I think there are few Wives that love their Husbands better than she does you. _Arb_. Thou wilt not understand me: is it fit This should be uttered plainly? take it then Naked as it is: I would desire her love Lasciviously, lewdly, incestuously, To do a sin that needs must damn us both, And thee too: dost thou understand me now? _Mar_. Yes, there's your Ring again; what have I done Dishonestly in my whole life, name it, That you should put so base a business to me? _Arb_. Didst thou not tell me thou wouldst do it? _Mar_. Yes; if I undertook it, but if all My hairs were lives, I would not be engag'd In such a case to save my last life. _Arb_.
