126/217 Pray, give me leave. From place to place, dwelling in no place long, My brother Simon still hath borne him company, ('Tis a brave youth, I envy him all his virtues). Their dwelling's now at Nottingham, Where no soul knows them. Can you assign any reason why a gentleman of Sir Walter's known prudence should expose his person so lightly? I believe, a certain fondness, A childlike cleaving to the land that gave him birth, Chains him like fate. |
