What another one, devouring demon
At this pace, the town shall empty,
Ere I accend.
And for that offence
Immediately I do exile you hence:
Let Angelus hence in haste,
Else, when he's found, that hour is his last.
Bear hence this body and attend our will:
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
[Angelus attacks Mayor]
Now, now, temper temper, neither a borrower or a lender be,
Shoo, into the woods with you.
[Exit Angelus]
And now then troops, let’s all remember
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: practice good dental hygiene,
One and all.
[Exit Mayor and minions]
