39 To make me gentle.

Evad.How is this?

Mel.'Tis base; And I could blush at these Years, thorough all My honour'd Scars, to come to such a parly.

Evad.I understand you not.

Mel.You dare not, fool; They that commit thy Faults, fly the Remembrance.

Mel.I'll be a Wolf first; 'tis to be thy Brother An infamy below the Sin of a Coward: I am as far from being Part of thee, As thou art from thy Virtue: Seek a Kindred 'Mongst sensual Beasts, and make a Goat thy Brother, A Goat is cooler. Will you tell me yet!
