Por.

It is almost morning,

in;

And yet, I am sure, you are not satisfied
Of these events at full: Let us go
And charge us there upon intergatories,
And we will answer all things faithfully.

Gra. Let it be so: The first intergatory, That my Nerissa shall be sworn on, is, Whether till the next night she had rather stay; Or go to bed now, being two hours to-day: But were the day come, I should wish it dark, That I were couching with the doctor's clerk. Well, while I live, I'll fear no other thing So sore, as keeping safe Nerissa's ring.
