he heard of another Earl of Surrey besides himself,
which caused him make more haste to fetch me in,
whom he little dreamed of had such art in my budget
to separate the shadow from the body. Overtake me
at Florence he did, where, sitting in my pontificalibus
with my courtesan at supper, like Anthony and Cleopatra
when they quaffed standing bowls of wine spiced with
pearl together, he stole in ere we sent for him, and bade
much good it us, and asked us whether we wanted any
guests. If he had asked me whether I would have hanged
myself, his question had been more acceptable. He that
had then ungartered me might have plucked out my heart
at my heels.
