QUEEN

x
Whiles^yet | the dew's | on ground,| gather |
those flowers,
,
, 2 ,
Make^haste.| Who has the | note of | them?
FIRST LADY
, ,
I | madam.
QUEEN
,
Dispatch. \\
,
, ,
, ,
Now* mast|er doc|tor, have | you brought |
those^drugs?
CORNELIUS
,
, ,
, x
Pleaseth | your high|ness, aye:| here they / are,
madam:
, ,
, , ,
But I | beseech | your grace,| without | offense
, ,
, , ,
(My con|science bids | me ask)| wherefore | you
have
, 2
, ,
, , , ->
command|ed of me | those^most | poiso|nous
com||pounds,
2 , x
, ,
Which are | the mov|ers of a | langui|shing
death: ??
T T T
, 2
But though slow,| deadly.
QUEEN
,
,
I | wonder,| doctor,
, ,
, , 2 ,
Thou askst | me such | a ques|tion. Have | I not
been
, ,
, ,
,
Thy pup|il long?| Hast thou | not learned | me
how
,
, ,
, ,
To make | perfumes?| Distill?| Preserve?| Yea, so
,
, , ,
,
That our / great king | himself | doth woo | me
oft
,
, , 2 ,
, 2->
For my | confec|tions? Hav|ing thus^far |
procee||ded
, ,
x x
,
(Unless | thou thinkst | me devil|ish) is it |
not meet
, ,
, , ,
That I | did amp|lify | my judg|ment in
, , ,
, ,
2->
Other | conclu|sions? I | will try | the for||ces
, , ,
, ,
Of these | thy com|pounds on | such crea/tures as
, ,
, 2 , ,
We count | not worth | the hang|ing (but none |
human)
, ,
, ,
,
To try | the vig|or of | them, and | apply
,
, , ,
, 2->
Allay|ments^to | their act,| and by | them
gath|er
, ,
, 2 ,
Their seve|ral vir|tues, and ef|fects.
CORNELIUS
,
Your | highness
,
2 , T
T T ,
Shall from this | practise,| but make hard | your
heart:
, ,
, ,
,
Besides,| the see|ing these | effects | will be
,
, ,
Both nois|ome, and | infec|tious.
QUEEN
, ,
->
O | content || thee.
, ,
, 2 ,
2 ,
Here | comes a | flattering | rascal,| upon^him
, ,
, ,
Will I / first work:| he's for | his mast|er,
<- , , ,
2 , , ,
2
And || ene|my to my | son. How | now Pi|sanio?
, ,
, , ,
->
Doctor,| your serv|ice for | this time | is
en||ded,
,
2 ,
Take | your own^way.
CORNELIUS
, ,
x
I do | suspect | you, madam,
, ,
,
But you | shall do | no harm.
QUEEN
, ,
Hark thee,| a word.
CORNELIUS
, ,
, ,
,
I do / not like | her. She | doth think | she has
, ,
, 2 ,
x
Strange lin/gering | poisons:| I do know | her
spirit,
, ,
, , ,
And will / not trust | one of | her ma/lice, with
, .
T T T ,
,
A drug | of such damned na|ture. Those | she has,
, ,
, , ,
Will stu|pefy | and dull | the sense | awhile,
, ,
, ,
,
Which first |(perchance)| she'll prove | on cats
| and dogs,
,
, , ,
,
Then aft|erward / up hig|her: but | there is
, ,
, ,
,
No dan/ger in | what show | of death | it makes,
,
, , x
,
More than | the lock|ing up | the spirits | a
time,
, ,
, ,
,
To be / more fresh,| revi|ving. She | is fooled
, ,
, , x
With a / most false | effect:| and I,| the truer,
, 2 ,
,
So to be | false with | her. (tri with next
few)
QUEEN
<- ,
, ,
No || further | service,| doctor,
,
, ,
Until | I send | for thee.
CORNELIUS
,
, ,
I hum|bly take | my leave.
[Exit]
QUEEN
,
T T T
Weeps she | still (sayst thou)?
,
T T T
Dost thou | think in time
,
, , ,
x
She will | not quench,| and let | instruc|tions
enter
, ,
, ,
,
Where fol|ly now | posses|ses? Do | thou work:
, ,
, ,
,
When thou | shalt bring | me word | she loves |
my son,
, ,
, , ,
I'll tell | thee on | the inst|ant, thou | art
then
,
, , ,
,
As great | as is | thy mast|er: great|er, for
,
, , ,
,
His for|tunes all | lie* speech|less, and | his
name
, ,
, ,
,
Is at / last gasp:| return | he can|not, nor
, ,
, ,
x
Contin|ue where | he is:| to shift | his being,
, 2
T T T 2 ,
x
Is to ex|change one mis|ery with | another,
, ,
, ,
,
And eve|ry day | that comes,| comes to | decay
,
, , ,
,
A day's | work in | him. What | shalt thou |
expect
, ,
, , ,
To be | depen|der on | a thing | that leans?
x T T T
, ,
Who cannot | be new built,| nor has | no friends
, ,
, , ,
So much,| as but | to prop | him? Thou | takst^up
,
, , ,
, ->
Thou knowst | not what:| but take | it for | thy
la||bor,
, 2
, , ,
,
It | is a thing | I made,| which hath | the king
T T
. T ,
, ,
Five times redeemed | from death:| I do | not
know
,
, 2 ,
, x
What is | more cor|dial. Nay,| I prith|ee take
it,
, ,
, ,
,
It is | an earn|est of | a furth|er good
,
, ,
, ,
That I | mean to | thee. Tell | thy mist|ress how
,
, x
, ,
The case | stands with | her: do it | as from |
thyself:
,
, ,
, ,
Think what | a chance | thou chan|gest on,| but
think
,
, , ,
,
Thou hast | thy mist|ress still,| to boot,| my
son,
, , ,
2 ,
,
Who shall | take no/tice of thee.| I'll move |
the king
, ,
, ,
,
To an|y shape | of thy | prefer|ment, such
,
, , , ,
2->
As thou'lt | desire:| and then | myself,| I
chief||ly,
, ,
, ,
,
That set | thee on | to this | desert,| am bound
, x ,
, ,
To load | thy merit | richly.| Call my | women:
,
, ,
, ,
Think on | my words.| A sly,| and const|ant
knave,
, 2 ,
, , ,
Not to be | shaked: the | agent | for his |
master,
, ,
, ,
,
And the | remem|brancer | of her,| to hold
, ,
, 2 x
,
The hand-|fast to | her lord.| I have given | him
that,
,
, , ,
,
Which^if | he take,| shall quite | unpeo|ple her
, , 2
, ,
,
Of lie|gers for her | sweet, and | which, she |
after
, ,
, ,
2 ,
Except | she bend | her hum|or, shall | be
assured
, ,
To taste | of too.
[Enter Pisanio and Ladies]

So*, so:| well^done,|
well^done:

The vio|lets, cow|slips, and | the prim|roses

Bear to my | closet.| Fare thee | well, Pi|sanio.

Think on | my words.
[Exeunt QUEEN and Ladies]
PISANIO

And shall | do: (di with prev)

But when | to my | good* lord | I prove | untrue,

I'll choke | myself:| there's all | I'll do | for
you.
