You see there is no remedy. Troth none; I threw at all (and gamester's luck) all's gone; Farewell brave spirited girl, he that 'gainst wind, Fire and the sea, law and a woman's mind, Strives, is a fool, that's I, I'll now be wise, And never more put trust in woman's eyes. I love thee for that word with-all my heart. Will you come down pray? Swear as you are a Duke. Yet more ado. Will you not trust your father? Why should I? you see there is no trust i'th' daughter; Swear by your hopes of good you will not touch His nail to hurt him. By my hopes I swear. And you too? Yes, what's falling none can rear. we come then noble friend, flag not thy wings, In this war I defy a camp of Kings. See, see, more shoals of friends, most beauteous Ladies, Fair welcomes to you all. My Lord those tides, Are turned, these Ladies are transformed to brides. We heard the happy news, and therefore sent, To marry joys with joys, yours, with our own, Yours (I see) prosper, ours are overthrown. How mean you overthrown? Your own eyes shall be witness how: nay, nay, pray rise, I know your heart is up, though your knees down. All that we stand in fear of is your frown. And all dear father which I beg of you, Is that you love this man but as I do. What beg you of this Prince? That he would take One favour from me, which myself shall make. Pray let it be of willow. Well then it shall. Why willow? is the noble Prince forsaken? All women's faults, one for another taken, Now in good sooth my Lord, she has but used you As watermen use their fares, for she looked one way, And rowed another, you but wore her glove, The hand was Angelo's, and she dealt wisely. Let woman ne'er love man, or if she do, Let him ne'er know it, make him write, wait woe, Court, cog, and curse, and swear, and lie, and pine, Till Love bring him to death's door, else he's not mine, That flesh eats sweetest that's picked close to th' bone, Water drinks best, that's hewed even from the stone; Men must be put to 't home. He that loves ducking, let him come learn of thee. She has good skill; At table will we hear a full discourse Of all these changes, and these Marriages, Both how they shuffled, cut, and dealt about, What cards are best, after the trumps were out, Who played false play, who true, who sought to save An Ace i'th' bottom, and turned up a knave; For Love is but a Card-play, and all's lost, Unless you cog, he that packs best, wins must, Since such good gamesters are together met, As you like this, we'll play another set.
