| <A NAME=1>I am sorry thou wilt leave my father so:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>Our house is hell, and thou, a merry devil,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>Didst rob it of some taste of tediousness.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>But fare thee well, there is a ducat for thee:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>And, Launcelot, soon at supper shalt thou see</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>Lorenzo, who is thy new master's guest:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>Give him this letter; do it secretly;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>And so farewell: I would not have my father</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>See me in talk with thee.</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=10>Adieu! tears exhibit my tongue. Most beautiful</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>pagan, most sweet Jew! if a Christian did not play</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>the knave and get thee, I am much deceived. But,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>adieu: these foolish drops do something drown my</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>manly spirit: adieu.</A><br> | |

| <p><i>Exit Launcelot</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=16>Alack, what heinous sin is it in me</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>To be ashamed to be my father's child!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>But though I am a daughter to his blood,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>I am not to his manners. O Lorenzo,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>Become a Christian and thy loving wife.</A><br> | |
