IACHIMO

               It cannot be i’ th’ eye: for apes and monkeys,
               ’Twixt two such shes, would chatter this way, and [40]
               Contemn with mows the other. Nor i’ the judgement:

               For idiots in this case of favour, would
               Be wisely definite: nor i’ th’ appetite.
               Sluttery, to such neat excellence oppos’d,
               Should make desire vomit emptiness, [45]
               Not so allur’d to feed.



              IMOGEN

               What is the matter, trow?


              IACHIMO

                               The cloyed will −
               That satiate yet unsatisfied desire, that tub
               Both fill’d and running − ravening first the lamb,

               Longs after for the garbage.


              IMOGEN

                               What, dear sir, [50]
               Thus raps you? Are you well?



              IACHIMO
                               Thanks madam, well:
          [to Pisanio]
               Beseech you sir,

               Desire my man’s abode where I did leave him:
               He’s strange and peevish.



              PISANIO
                               I was going, sir,
               To give him welcome. [55]

                                                                                                          [Exit.]



              IMOGEN
               Continues well my lord? His health, beseech you?
