FERDINAND There be some sports are painful, and their labor Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness Are nobly undergone. And most poor matters Point to rich ends. This my mean task 5 Would be as heavy to me as odious, but The mistress which I serve quickens whats dead And makes my labors pleasures. Oh, she is Ten times more gentle than her fathers crabbed, And hes composed of harshness. I must remove 10 Some thousands of these logs and pile them up, Upon a sore injunction. My sweet mistress Weeps when she sees me work, and says such baseness Had never like executor. I forget, But these sweet thoughts do even refresh my labors, 15 Most busiest when I do it.
