          I’ll be reveng’d on the whole pack of you!

          He hath been most notoriously abus’d. [370]



              DUKE
               Pursue him, and entreat him to a peace:

               When that is known, and golden time convents,
               A solemn combination shall be made
               Of our dear souls. Meantime, sweet sister, [375]

               We will not part from hence. Cesario, come;
               For so you shall be while you are a man;
