I'll not refuse it wholly, for the sake

Of my poor mantle; when it is well worn,

And spite of darning will not hold together,

I'll come and borrow cloth or gold of you,

To make a new one. Nay, Sir, do not start;

The danger is not pressing--'tis not yet

Quite worthless; it is sound, and strong, and good.

Save in one corner, where an ugly spot

Is singed, and that is from a burn it got

When I bore off your daughter from the fire.
