_Tro._ Even such a passion doth embrace my bosom: My heart beats thicker than a feverous pulse; 35 And all my powers do their bestowing lose, Like vassalage at unawares encountering[1611] The eye of majesty.
_Re-enter_ PANDARUS _with_ CRESSIDA.[1612]
_Pan._ Come, come, what need you blush? shame's a[1613] baby. Here she is now: swear the oaths now to her that 40 you have sworn to me. What, are you gone again? you must be watched ere you be made tame, must you? Come your ways, come your ways; an you draw backward, we'll[1614] put you i' the fills. Why do you not speak to her? Come,[1615] draw this curtain, and let's see your picture. Alas the day,[1616] 45 how loath you are to offend daylight! an 'twere dark, you'ld close sooner. So, so; rub on, and kiss the mistress. How now! a kiss in fee-farm! build there, carpenter; the air is sweet. Nay, you shall fight your hearts out ere I part you. The falcon as the tercel, for all the ducks i' the river: go[1617] 50 to, go to.
_Tro._ You have bereft me of all words, lady.
_Pan._ Words pay no debts, give her deeds: but she'll bereave you o' the deeds too, if she call your activity in[1618] question. What, billing again? Here's 'In witness whereof[1619] 55 the parties interchangeably'--Come in, come in: I'll go get[1619] a fire. [_Exit._[1620]
_Tro._ O Cressida, how often have I wished me thus![1621]
_Cres._ Wished, my lord?--The gods grant--O my lord![1622] 60
_Tro._ What should they grant? what makes this pretty abruption? What too curious dreg espies my sweet lady[1623] in the fountain of our love?
_Cres._ More dregs than water, if my fears have eyes.[1624]
_Tro._ Fears make devils of cherubins; they never see truly.[1625] 65
_Cres._ Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer[1626] footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.[1627]
_Tro._ O, let my lady apprehend no fear: in all Cupid's[1628] pageant there is presented no monster.[1628] 70
_Cres._ Nor nothing monstrous neither?[1629]
_Tro._ Nothing, but our undertakings; when we vow to[1630] weep seas, live in fire, eat rocks, tame tigers; thinking it harder for our mistress to devise imposition enough than for us to undergo any difficulty imposed. This is the[1631] 75 monstruosity in love, lady, that the will is infinite and the execution confined, that the desire is boundless and the act a slave to limit.
