Yea* bloo|dy cloth,| I'll keep | thee: for | I am

Thou shouldst | be col|ored thus.| You mar|ried

For wry|ing but | a little?| Oh Pi|sanio,

Every | good* serv|ant does | not all | commands:

No bond,| but to do | just ones. Gods,| if you

Should have / tane venge|ance on | my faults,| I
never

Me (wretch) more | worth your | vengeance.| But
alack,

You snatch | some* hence | for little | faults;
that's love
, ,

To have | them fall | no more:| you some | permit
, ,

To sec|ond ills | with ills,| each eld|er worse,

And make | them dread | it, to | the do|ers'
thrift.

Among | the Ital|ian gen|try, and | to fight

Against | my la|dy's king|dom: 'tis | enough

As does | a Brit|on peas|ant: so | I'll fight

Gods, put the | strength of the | Leo|nati | in

To shame | the guise | of the world,| I will |

The fash|ion less | without,| and more | within.
