Webster, John, 1580-1625

"The Duchess of Malfi"

There are a thousand ways
A man might find to trace him; as to know
What fellows haunt the Jews for taking up
Great sums of money, for sure he 's in want;
Or else to go to the picture-makers, and learn
Who bought<130> her picture lately: some of these
Happily may take.
BOSOLA. Well, I 'll not freeze i' th' business:
I would see that wretched thing, Antonio,
Above all sights i' th' world.
CARDINAL. Do, and be happy.
Exit.
BOSOLA. This fellow doth breed basilisks in 's eyes,
He 's nothing else but murder; yet he seems
Not to have notice of the duchess' death.
'Tis his cunning: I must follow his example;
There cannot be a surer way to trace
Than that of an old fox.
[Re-enter JULIA, with a pistol]
JULIA. So, sir, you are well met.
BOSOLA. How Now!
JULIA. Nay, the doors are fast enough:
Now, sir, I will make you confess your treachery.
BOSOLA. Treachery!
JULIA. Yes, confess to me
Which of my women 'twas you hir'd to put
Love-powder into my drink?
BOSOLA.
