Oth. 'Tis true: there's magic in the web of it:
A sibyl, that had number'd in the world[6129] 70
The sun to course two hundred compasses,[6130]
In her prophetic fury sew'd the work;[6131]
The worms were hallow'd that did breed the silk;[6132]
And it was dyed in mummy which the skilful[6133]
Conserved of maidens' hearts.
Des. Indeed! is't true?[6134] 75
Oth. Most veritable; therefore look to't well.
Des. Then would to God that I had never seen't![6135]
Oth. Ha! wherefore?
Des. Why do you speak so startingly and rash?[6136]
Oth. Is't lost? is't gone? speak, is it out o' the way?[6137] 80
Des. Heaven bless us![6138]
Oth. Say you?
Des. It is not lost; but what an if it were?[6139]
