A seat for baseness.

Imo.

No; I rather added

A lustre to it.

O thou vile one!

Sir,

Cym.

Imo.

It is your fault that I have lov'd Posthumus :
You bred him as my playfellow; and he is
A man, worth any woman; overbuys me
Almost the sum he pays.

Cym.

What!

Imo. Almost, sir: Heaven restore me!-'Would

Clo. If my shirt were bloody, then to shift it Have I hurt him?

2 Lord. No, faith; not so much as his patience.

[Aside. 1 Lord. Hurt him? his body's a passable carcass, if he be not hurt: it is a thoroughfare for steel, if it be not hurt.

2 Lord. His steel was in debt; it went o'the back side the town.
