_Fra._ So long as Freevill lives, I must not love. _Mal._ Then he-- _Fra._ Must-- _Mal._ Die! _Fra._ I [k]no[w] there is no such vehemence in your affects. 180 Would I were anything, so he were not! _Mal._ Will you be mine when he is not? _Fra._ Will I? Dear, dear breast, by this most zealous kiss! but I will not persuade you; but if you hate him that I loathe most deadly; yet as you please--I'll persuade noting. _Mal._ Will you be only mine? _Fra._ Vill I? How hard 'tis for true love to dissemble. I am only yours. _Mal._ 'Tis as irrevocable as breath: he dies. 190 Your love! _Fra._ My vow,--not until he be dead; Which that I may be sure not to infringe, Dis token of his death sall satisfy: He has a ring, as dear as the air to him, His new love's gift; tat got and brought to me, I shall assurèd your professèd rest. _Mal._ To kill a man? _Fra._ O! done safely; a quarrel sudden pick'd, With an advantage strike--then bribe--a little coin, All's safe, dear soul; but I'll not set you on. 200 _Mal._ Nay, he is gone--the ring! Well, come, little more liberal of thy love. _Fra._ Not yet; my vow. _Mal._ O Heaven! there is no hell but love's prolongings. Dear, farewell. _Fra._ Farewell. Now does my heart swell high, for my revenge Has birth and form; first friend sall kill his friend. He dat survives I'll hang; besides de chaste Beatrice I'll vex. Only de ring; 210 Dat got, the world sall know the worst of evils: Woman corrupted is the worst of devils. [_Exit_ FRANCESCHINA. _Mal._ To kill my friend! O 'tis to kill myself! Yet man's but man's excrement--man breeding man As he does worms; or this, to spoil this nothing. [_He spits._
