Husbands will venture on it, To cure the hot fits and cold shakings of jealousy.
A friend, sir, must do more.
_Lovel_.

Can he do more than die?
_John_.

To serve a friend this he may do.

Pray, mark me.
Having a law within (great spirits feel one) He cannot, ought not, to be bound by any Positive laws or ord'nances extern, But may reject all these: by the law of friendship He may do so much, be they, indifferently, Penn'd statutes, or the land's unwritten usages, As public fame, civil compliances, Misnamed honor, trust in matter of secrets, All vows and promises, the feeble mind's religion, (Binding our morning knowledge to approve What last night's ignorance spake;) The ties of blood withal, and prejudice of kin.
Sir, these weak terrors Must never shake me.

I know what belongs To a worthy friendship.
