Give to these blind windows, Eyes; Daze the Stars, and mock the Skies, And let us two (us two) devise, To lavish our best Treasures Crown our Wishes with Content, Meet our Souls in sweet consent, And let this night (this night) be spent In all abundant pleasures. Oh good morrow Lady, I come to tell you news! They are welcome to me my Lord. You know the Princess Iulia was supposed to be Adulterate— So we have heard it rumoured Oh but fair friend, she was indeed belied! And I this morning rose from her chaste bed: But wherefore sweet cast you that blushing smile? But you have broke promise with me: For you told me That the same day and hour I took my Bride, You should Enjoy a Princely Husband. True My Lord, I did. And are you married then? And lay with him last night. Is he oft fortunes? That you may soon conjecture by this gift. What have you then, some tokens that were his? Some few my Lord, amongst the rest, this diamond He put upon my finger. You amaze me! Yet Rings may be alike: If then your husband Bee of such state and fortunes, What dowry are you allotted. Sir, ten thousand crowns by th' year. I gave no more unto my julia. But where is the security you have For the performance of it? See here, My Lord, Sir, Is not that sufficient for a dowry? This is the Indenture that I gave to Iulia; Prithee Lauretta, but resolve me true, How came you by this Charter? Pardon great Prince; for all that love you spoke To Iulia, you whispered in my ear: She is unchaste; which, lest you should have found, Her father sent me here, five hundred crowns By Stroza; but neither his gold, nor all His sly temptations, could one whit move me; Only the love I ever bore your honour, Made me not prize my own. No lust full appetite Made me attempt such an ambitious practice, As to aspire unto your bed my Lord. Rise, dee not weep, Oh I am strangely rapt Into deep strange confusion? Milan should know, were it my case my Lord, A better Prince than he should not wrong me. I have bethought already how to be are me; This Charter and this Ring, fair Love, keep you; And when I send for you, you shall repair Unto the Court: This all I shall enjoin you. Great Sir, I shall. Come Mounsieur, now 'tis cast, Revenge near rules, so it be found at last. Who saw the Prince last? Is't a custom with him To rise thus early? Sir, he never sleeps Longer than th'day, nor keeps his bed by Sun: 'Tis not the lone of the fairest Lady lives, Can make him leave his morning exercise. He never exercised with me, I'm sure; I might have lain as safe, free, and untouched, By any Lady living.
