CXL.
Æl.Thou liest, foul hag! thou liest! thou art her aid
To cheer her lust:—but no; it cannot be.
Egw.
If truth appear not in what I have said,
Draw forth thine anlace, quickly then me sle.
Æl.
But yet it must, it must be so; I see,
She with some lusty paramour is gone.
It must be so.—Oh! how it racketh me!
My race of love, my race of life, is run.
Now rage, and furious storm, and tempest come!
Naught living upon earth can now make sweet my doom.
Enter a Servant.
