The nearest and the safest. Can you love then? I were a devil else: And can you love a man? A man, what else, sir? Y'are so far on your way. Now love but me, Y'are at your journey's end, what say to me? Nothing, sir. That's no answer, you must say something. I hope you'll not compel me. D''ee hear Lady? Setting this foolery aside: I know You cannot choose but love me. Why? I have been told so.

Come you lie; I could have given't In smother phrase: y'are a dissembling gentlewoman. I know your heart, you have loved me a great while. What should I play the fool? if you remember I urged some wild discourse in the behalf Of your lewd kinsman, 'twas a trial of thee That humour made me love thee; and since that thy virtue.
