Full speech

I have for some years had the happiness To be a witness of your constant session, In all which time I have not herd a sentence Pronounced by you that envy could pervert. But yet there are degrees of good and ill, Wherein the actor takes a liberty. Let him draw near. Yes both sir, before me. He hath confessed the fact. Darest thou deride the Judge? His wicked acts have hardened him, he came No novice to this cruel enterprise. In Venice he climbing a Ladder, shot Through the glass window a Clarissimo Sitting at supper, flew a Count of Naples In his own garden, having first observed A place where he might scale the wall to escape; And that his wants may not obtrude the gilded Upon his fortune, he but lately ravished A young and Noble Virgin in Siena, The only daughter of Petruccio. The harmless man thinks it no great offence, With hight and beastly lust to vitiate A Damosel, at the most but ten years old.
