LADY

Do you not love me? do you not indeed?
Well, do not then; for since you love me not,
I will not love myself. Do you not love me? [95]

Nay, tell me if you speak in jest or no.

HOTSPUR

Come, wilt thou see me ride?
And when I am a-horseback, I will swear
I love thee infinitely. But hark you, Kate:
I must not have you henceforth question me [100]

Whither I go, nor reason whereabout.
Whither I must, I must, and to conclude,
This evening must I leave you, gentle Kate.
I know you wise, but yet no farther wise

Than Harry Percy’s wife; constant you are, [105]
But yet a woman; and for secrecy,
No lady closer, for I well believe
Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know,

And so far will I trust thee, gentle Kate.

LADY

How? so far? [110]

HOTSPUR
Not an inch further. But hark you, Kate:
Whither I go, thither shall you go too;
To-day will I set forth, to-morrow you.

Will this content you, Kate?

LADY
It must of force.
Exeunt.
