SCENE II.
Hel.
Oh, were that all!—I think not on my father;
And these great tears grace his remembrance more,
Than those I shed for him. What was he like?
I have forgot him. My imagination
Carries no favour in it, but my Bertram's.
I am undone; there is no living, none,
If Bertram be away. It were all one,
That I should love a bright partic'lar star,
And think to wed it; he is so above me:
In his bright radiance 6 note
and collateral light
Must I be comforted, not in his sphere.
Th' ambition in my love thus plagues itself;
The hind, that would be mated by the lion,
Must die for love. 'Twas pretty, tho' a plague,
To see him every hour; to sit and draw
His arched brows, his hawking eye, his curls,
In our heart's table: heart, too capable
Of every line and trick of his sweet favour!—
But now he's gone, and my idolatrous fancy
Must sanctify his relicks. Who comes here!
-- 8 --
Enter Parolles.
One, that goes with him: I love him for his sake,
&wlquo;And yet I know him a notorious liar;
&wlquo;Think him a great way fool, solely a coward;
&wlquo;Yet these fix'd evils sit so fit in him,
&wlquo;That they take place, when virtue's steely bones
&wlquo;Look bleak in the cold wind:&wrquo; full oft we see
7 noteCold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
