A partner to thy bed, for worse or better,

Think what Sir Thomas felt, when his chaste wife

Brandish’d, before his eyes, the Friar’s letter!

He felt, Sir,—Zounds!—

Yes, Zounds! I say, Sir,—for it makes me swear—

More torture than he suffer’d from the wounds

He got among the French, in France;—

Not that I take upon me to advance

The knight was ever wounded there.
