Gov. Sure, honesty has left man; has fear forsook him?
Yes, faith, there is no fear, where there's no grace.
Lady. What way shall I devise to giv'm his answer?
Denial is not strong enough to serve, sir.
Gov. No, 't must have other helps.—
Enter Sophonirus.
I see, he dares!
O patience, I shall lose a friend of thee!
Soph. I bring thee, precious lady, this dear stone
And commendations from the king my master.
Gov. I set before thee, panderous lord, this steel,
And much good do't thy heart; fall to, and spare not!
[He stabs Sophonirus.
Lady. 'Las! what have you done, my lord?
Gov. Why, sent a bawd
Home to his lodging; nothing else, sweetheart.
