:34:01
A joyless, dismal, black,
and sorrowful issue.
:34:05
Here is the babe,
:34:06
as loathsome as a toad
:34:08
amongst the fairest breeders
of our clime.
:34:11
The empress sends it thee,
:34:15
thy stamp, thy seal,
:34:17
and bids thee christen it
with thy dagger's point.
:34:19
'Zounds, ye whore!
:34:21
Is black so base a hue?
:34:26
Sweet blowse, you are
a beauteous blossom, sure.
:34:30
Villain,
:34:32
what hast thou done?
:34:34
That which thou canst not undo.
:34:37
Thou hast undone our mother.
:34:38
Villain, I have done thy mother.
:34:42
And therein, hellish dog,
:34:43
thou hast undone her!
:34:47
Accursed the offspring
of so foul a fiend!
:34:49
It shall not live.
:34:52
It shall not die!
:34:54
Aaron, it must.
The mother wills it so.
:34:57
What? Must it, Nurse?
:35:03
Then let no man
but I do execution
:35:05
on my flesh and blood.
:35:07
I'll broach the tadpole
on this rapier's point.
:35:09
Nurse, give it me!
:35:10
My sword shall soon dispatch it!
:35:14
Sooner this sword
shall plow thy bowels up!
:35:19
Stay, murderous villains!
:35:21
Will you kill your brother?
:35:23
Now, by the burning tapers of the sky
:35:26
that shone so brightly
when this boy was got,
:35:29
he dies upon
my scimitar's sharp point
:35:31
that touches this
my first-born son and heir!
:35:36
What?
:35:38
What, ye sanguine,
shallow-hearted boys?
:35:42
Ye white-limed walls!
:35:44
Ye alehouse painted signs!
:35:47
Coal-black is better than another hue
:35:50
in that it scorns
to bear another hue.
:35:54
For all the water of the ocean
:35:55
could never turn
a swan's black legs to white
:35:58
although she lave them hourly
in the flood.
