The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 3 of 9]
Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Hel._ There's something in't,
More than my father's skill, which was the greatest
Of his profession, that his good receipt 235
Shall for my legacy be sanctified
By the luckiest stars in heaven: and, would your honour
But give me leave to try success, I'd venture
The well-lost life of mine on his Grace's cure
By such a day and hour.
_Count._ Dost them believe't? 240
_Hel._ Ay, madam, knowingly.
_Count._ Why, Helen, thou shalt have my leave and love,
Means and attendants and my loving greetings
To those of mine in court: I'll stay at home
And pray God's blessing into thy attempt: 245
Be gone to-morrow; and be sure of this,
What I can help thee to, thou shalt not miss. [_Exeunt._
