Then art thou all that ever was known bad, now is the cause of all my strange mis-fortunes come to light: what reverence expectest thou from a child, to bring forth which thou hast offended heaven, thy husband, and the Land? adulterous witch, I know now why thou wouldst have poyson'd me, I was thy lust which thou wouldst have forgot: then wicked Mother of my sins, and me, show me the way to the inheritance I have by thee: which is a spacious world of impious acts, that I may soon possess it: plagues rot thee, as thou liv'st, and such diseases, as use to pay lust, recompence thy deed. _Gob_. You do not know why you curse thus. _Arb_. Too well; you are a pair 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 descents, and I am every way as beastly got, as far without the compass of Law as they. _Ara_. You spend your rage and words in vain, and rail upon a guess; hear us a little. _Arb_. No, I will never hear, but talk away my breath, and die. _Gob_. Why, but you are no Bastard. _Arb_. How's that? _Ara_. Nor child of mine. _Arb_. Still you go on in wonders to me. _Gob_. Pray you be more patient, I may bring comfort to you. _Arb_. I will kneel, and hear with the obedience of a child; good Father speak, I do acknowledge you, so you bring comfort. _Gob_. First know, our last King, your supposed Father was old and feeble when he married her, and almost all the Land thought she was past hope of issue from him. _Arb_. Therefore she took leave to play the whore, 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 me, if ever I were a whore. _Gob_. For-bear these starts, or I will leave you wedded to despair, as you are now: if you can find a temper, my breath shall be a pleasant western wind that cools and blasts not. _Arb_. Bring it out good Father. I'le lie, and listen here as reverently as to an Angel: if I breath too loud, tell me; for I would be as still as night. _Gob_.
