Phillis, come in, and help to triumph
Over this bold intruder. Wonder not, wench,
But go unto him, and ransack all his pockets,
And take from thence a contract which he forc'd
From my unwilling fingers.
Spend. Is this according to your oath?
Phil. Come, sir, I must search you.
Spend. I prythee, do.
And when thou tak'st that from me, take my life too.
Wid. Hast thou it, girl?
Phil. I have a paper here.
Wid. It is the same: give it me. Look you, sir,
Thus your new-fancied hopes I tear asunder.
Poor wretched man! thou'st had a golden dream,
Which gilded over thy calamity;
But, being awake, thou find'st it ill-laid on,
For with one finger I have wip'd it off.
Go, fetch me hither the casket that contains
My choicest jewels, and spread them here before him.
Look you, sir;
Here's gold, pearls, rubies, sapphires, diamonds;
These would be goodly things for you to pawn,
Or revel with amongst your courtesans,
Whilst I and mine did starve. Why dost not curse,
And utter all the mischiefs of thy heart,
Which I know swells within thee? pour it out,
And let me hear thy fury.
Spend. Never, never!
Whene'er my tongue shall speak but well of thee,
It proves no faithful servant to my heart.
Wid. False traitor to thy master and to me,
Thou liest, there's no such thing within thee.
Spend. May I be burn'd to ugliness, to that
Which you and all men hate, but I speak truth.
