[Looks big.]
SIR JO. To that face I grant you, Captain. No, no, I grant you--
not to that face, by the Lord Harry. If you had put on your
fighting face before, you had done his business--he durst as soon
have kissed you, as kicked you to your face. But a man can no more
help what's done behind his back than what's said--Come, we'll
think no more of what's past.
BLUFF. I'll call a council of war within to consider of my revenge
to come.
SCENE X.
HEARTWELL, SILVIA. Silvia's apartment.
SONG.
As Amoret and Thyrsis lay
Melting the hours in gentle play,
Joining faces, mingling kisses,
And exchanging harmless blisses:
He trembling cried, with eager haste,
O let me feed as well as taste,
I die, if I'm not wholly blest.
[After the song a dance of antics.]
SILV. Indeed it is very fine. I could look upon 'em all day.
HEART. Well has this prevailed for me, and will you look upon me?
SILV. If you could sing and dance so, I should love to look upon
you too.
HEART. Why, 'twas I sung and danced; I gave music to the voice,
and life to their measures.
