Arb. Then there must be something more in't,
That he defers his marriage thus.
Ort. There is
So, sir.
Arb. My lord, heark'ning's but a base office;
But if you have heard it, 'tis no treason.
Ort. No, sir, but it is falseness in the duke,
To use your worthy sister thus. I came
To tell you upon my knowledge, he never
Intended to marry her.
Arb. My lord, though I believe it, you must pardon
Me, if I wonder at this information
From your lordship, that is his near cousin.
Ort. Sir, you have the character of so brave
A gentleman, conscience and honour
Bids me discover this to you and your sister:
Think of a way of being reveng'd, and here's
My hand and heart to help you.
Arb. Pardon
Me, that I cannot thank you truly, because
I needs must doubt this offer from your lordship.
Ort. What can I say to confirm you? will the
Word and honour of a gentleman do't?
Arb. To me those are things of great value.
Ort. Then here
I give them both.
