Scen. 3.

Gripus. Hegio
Gripus.
Of late I did (not brooking a deniall)
Renew my suite, attempt a further triall,
Intreat, conjure, I left no way untri'd
I must not, no I would not be deni'd.
This was my resolution, but she
The obdurate portall of whose Marble heart
Was lockt, and barr'd against the powerfull art
Of oft repeated teares, or far fetcht sighs,
Or deep, and heart-bred groanes, stood deaf, and dumbe
She must not, no she would not be o're come.

Hegio.
I never move her, but my hopelesse triall
Alwayes reade Hieroglypicks of deniall.

Gripus.
Still lets proceede, who knowes we may prevaile,
Let not our best advis'd indeavours faile,
To be employd, lets make a further triall,
And fairly speed or find a foule deniall.

Exeunt.
