A jest, and then a trial, and a bait;

All stuff, and daubing!

Jup. Think me jealous, then.

Alcm. O that I could! for that's a noble crime,

And which a lover can with ease forgive;

'Tis the high pulse of passion in a fever;

A sickly draught, but shews a burning thirst:

Thine was a surfeit, not a jealousy;

And in that loathing of thy full-gorged love,

Thou saw'st the nauseous object with disdain.
