Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou does not. |
Man alive, wouldst have her like your blowsy wenches here, that lie i' the sun all day? |
But mayhap thou wouldst first down a flitch of bacon and a tankard or so of stum? |
Who art thou, false, double-tongued betrayer, That wouldst frighten and perplex me? |
And had We not given thee strength, thou wouldst nearly have inclined to them a little. |
Thou wouldst only, perchance, fret thyself to death, following after them, in grief, if they believe not in this Message. |
