William Shakespeare - Cymbeline Act 1 Scene 2 lyrics

SCENE II. The same. A public place. Enter CLOTEN and two Lords FIRST LORD Sir, I would advise you to shift a shirt; the violence of action hath made you reek as a sacrifice: where air comes out, air comes in: there's none abroad so wholesome as that you vent. CLOTEN If my shirt were bloody, then to shift it. Have I hurt him? Second Lord [Aside] No, 'faith; not so much as his patience. FIRST LORD Hurt him! his body's a pa**able carca**, if he be not hurt: it is a thoroughfare for steel, if it be not hurt. SECOND LORD [Aside] His steel was in debt; it went o' the backside the town. CLOTEN The villain would not stand me. SECOND LORD [Aside] No; but he fled forward still, toward your face. FIRST LORD Stand you! You have land enough of your own: but he added to your having; gave you some ground. SECOND LORD [Aside] As many inches as you have oceans. Puppies! CLOTEN I would they had not come between us. SECOND LORD [Aside] So would I, till you had measured how long a fool you were upon the ground. CLOTEN And that she should love this fellow and refuse me! SECOND LORD [Aside] If it be a sin to make a true election, she is damned. FIRST LORD Sir, as I told you always, her beauty and her brain go not together: she's a good sign, but I have seen small reflection of her wit. SECOND LORD [Aside] She shines not upon fools, lest the reflection should hurt her. CLOTEN Come, I'll to my chamber. Would there had been some hurt done! SECOND LORD [Aside] I wish not so; unless it had been the fall of an a**, which is no great hurt. CLOTEN You'll go with us? FIRST LORD I'll attend your lordship. CLOTEN Nay, come, let's go together. SECOND LORD Well, my lord. Exeunt
