Webster, John, 1580-1625

"The Duchess of Malfi"


ANTONIO. I am all yours; and 'tis very fit
All mine should be so.
DUCHESS. So, sir, you have your pass.
ANTONIO. You may see, gentlemen, what 'tis to serve
A prince with body and soul.
Exit.
BOSOLA. Here 's an example for extortion: what moisture is drawn
out of the sea, when foul weather comes, pours down, and runs into
the sea again.
DUCHESS. I would know what are your opinions
Of this Antonio.
SECOND OFFICER. He could not abide to see a pig's head gaping:
I thought your grace would find him a Jew.
THIRD OFFICER. I would you had been his officer, for your own sake.
FOURTH OFFICER. You would have had more money.
FIRST OFFICER. He stopped his ears with black wool, and to those came
to him for money said he was thick of hearing.
SECOND OFFICER. Some said he was an hermaphrodite, for he could not
abide a woman.
FOURTH OFFICER. How scurvy proud he would look when the treasury
was full! Well, let him go.
FIRST OFFICER. Yes, and the chippings of the buttery fly after him,
to scour his gold chain.<84>
DUCHESS.
