    I have abandon'd Troy, left my possession,
    Incurr'd a traitor's name, expos'd myself
    From certain and possess'd conveniences
    To doubtful fortunes, sequest'ring from me all

    To give me now a little benefit
    Out of those many regist'red in promise,
    Which you say live to come in my behalf.
