I will, my liege.
Edw. Swear, Countess, that thou wilt.
Coun. By heaven, I will.
Edw. Then take thyself a little way aside ; And tell thyself a king doth dote on thee : Digitized by VjOOQ IC 804 SHAKSPERE'S PREDECESSORS Say, that within thy power it doth lie, To make him happy ; and that thou hast sworn To give me all the joy within thy power : Do this, and tell me when I shall be happy.
Conn. All this is done, my thrice dread sovereign : That power of love, that I have power to give, Thou hast... with all devout obedience ; Employ me how thou wilt in proof thereof.
Edw. Thou hear'st me say that I do dote on thee.
Conn. If on my beauty, take it if thou canst ; Though little, I do prize it ten times less : If on my virtue, take it if thou canst ; For virtue's store by giving doth augment : Be it on what it will, that I can give And thou canst take away, inherit it.
Edw. It is thy beauty that I would enjoy.
Coun. O, were it painted, I would wipe it off, And dispossess myself, to givje it thee : But, sovereign, it is soldered to my life ; Take one, and both ; for, like an humble shadow, It haunts the sunshine of my summer's life.
