Off. My means have not kept pace with my desires.

Vor. I know thee well. Wouldst thou not serve me, friend?

Off. Ay, my good lord: but put me to the test,

And you shall see me smile on death himself.

Vor. I take thee at thy word. Hold here my sword,

And but one friendly office render me:

Flinch not, strike deep and home: there lies my heart.

Off. O! if each drop that were to issue from thee,

Was a most costly jewel, and the whole

Were my reward, by heav’n I would not do’t!
