R. Roister. Then will I have you.
C. Custance. No, the devil shall have thee.
I have gotten this hour more shame and harm by thee,
Than all thy life-days thou canst do me honesty.
M. Merry. Why, now may ye see what it com'th to in the end,
To make a deadly foe of your most loving friend:
And i-wis this letter, if ye would hear it now—
C. Custance. I will hear none of it.
M. Merry. In faith, ['t]would ravish you.
C. Custance. He hath stained my name for ever, this is clear.
