Yet the end | must be | as 'tis:| my gentle |

I have one myself, who shall not be more dear to my respect than yours, my
lord.

Madam, my thanks and prayers.
CLEON
We'll bring your grace eene to the edge of the shore, then give you up to
the masked Neptune, and the gentlest winds of heaven.

I will embrace your offer, come, dearest madam: O no tears, Lychorida, no
tears; look to your little mistress, on whose grace you may depend
hereafter: come, my lord.
