Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Por._ It is almost morning, 295
And yet I am sure you are not satisfied
Of these events at full. Let us go in;
And charge us there upon inter’gatories,
And we will answer all things faithfully.
_Gra._ Let it be so: the first inter’gatory 300
That my Nerissa shall be sworn on is,
Whether till the next night she had rather stay,
Or go to bed now, being two hours to day:
But were the day come, I should wish it dark,
That I were couching with the doctor’s clerk. 305
Well, while I live I’ll fear no other thing
So sore as keeping safe Nerissa’s ring. [_Exeunt._
