O, be thou damnâd, inexecrable dog! And for thy life let justice be accused. Thou almost makest me waver in my faith To hold opinion with Pythagoras, That souls of animals infuse themselves Into the trunks of men: thy currish spirit Governâd a wolf, who, hangâd for human slaughter, Even from the gallows did his fell soul fleet, And, whilst thou layâst in thy unhallowâd dam, Infused itself in thee; for thy desires Are wolvish, bloody, starved and ravenous.
Till thou canst rail the seal from off my bond, Thou but offendâst thy lungs to speak so loud: Repair thy wit, good youth, or it will fall To cureless ruin. I stand here for law.
This letter from Bellario doth commend A young and learned doctor to our court. Where is he?
He attendeth here hard by, To know your answer, whether youâll admit him.
