To this supposed, or else let him suffer :
What would you 1
Isab. As much for my poor brother, as myself.
That is, were I under the terms of death,
The impression of keen whips I'd wear as rubies,
And strip myself to death, as to a bed
That longing I have heen sick for, ere I 'd yield
My body up to shame.
Aug. Then must your brother die.
Isab. And 'twere the cheaper way :
Better it were, a brother died at once,
Than that a sister, by redeeming him,
Should die for ever.
THE PRINCESS OF FRANCE.
[LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST, Act IV. Scene 1.]
Cost. God dig-you-den all 1 Pray you which is the head
lady 1
Prin. Thou shall know her, fellow, by the rest that
have no heads.
Cost. Which is the greatest lady, the highest?
Prin. The thickest and the-tallest.
Cost. The thickest, and the tallest ! it is so ; truth is
truth.
An your waist, mistress, were as slender as my wit,
One of these maids' girdles for your waist should be fit.
Are not you the chief woman ? you are the thickest here.
