_Cal_. My daughter dead here too! and you have all fine new tricks to grieve; but I ne're knew any but direct crying. _Mel_. I am a pratler, but no more. _Diph_. Hold Brother. _Lysip_. Stop him. _Diph_. Fie; how unmanly was this offer in you! Does this become our strain? _Cal_. I know not what the mat[t]er is, but I am Grown very kind, and am friends with you; You have given me that among you will kill me Quickly; but I'le go home, and live as long as I can. _Mel_. His spirit is but poor that can be kept From death for want of weapons. Is not my hand a weapon good enough To stop my breath? or if you tie down those, I vow _Amintor_ I will never eat, Or drink, or sleep, or have to do with that That may preserve life; this I swear to keep. _Lysip_. Look to him tho', and bear those bodies in. May this a fair example be to me, To rule with temper: for on lustful Kings Unlookt for sudden deaths from heaven are sent! But curst is he that is their instrument. %THE MAIDS TRAGEDY%.
