When love begins to sicken and decay,
It useth an enforced ceremony.
There are no tricks in plain and simple faith.

The absolute soldiership you have by land;

The way which promises assurance; and
Give up yourself merely to chance and hazard,
From firm security.

This morning, like the spirit of a youth
That means to be of note, begins betimes.

On more mechanic compliment; I'll leave thee
Now, like a man of steel. You that will fight,
Follow me close; I'll bring you to't. Adieu.

Best to be served: whilst he stood up and spoke,

To spend upon his haters. If thou please
To take me to thee, as I was to him
I'll be to Caesar; if thou pleasest not,
I yield thee up my life.
