Why in disguise? It is the Prince's policy and love; for if we should miscarry, some one taken might betray the rest unknown to one another, each man is safe, in his own valour; And what Mercer's wife are you to cheapen now in stead of his silks? Troth; 'tis not so well; 'tis but a Cousin of thine— come Philan let's along:— What is it thus within whispering remorse, and calls Love Tyrant? all powers, but his, their rigour, and our fear, have made divine! But every Creature holds of him by sense, the sweetest Tenure; yea! but my husband's brother: and what of that? do harmless birds or beasts ask leave of curious Heraldry at all? Does not the womb of one fair spring, bring unto the earth many sweet rivers, that wantonly do one another chase, and in one bed, kiss, mingle, and embrace? Man (Nature's heir) is not by her will tied, to shun all creatures are allied unto him, for than he should shun all; since death and life doubly allies all them that live by breath: The Air that does impart to all life's brood, refreshing, is so near to itself, and to us all, that all in all is individual: But, how am I sure one and the same desire warms Ariaspes: for Art can keep alive a beddred love. Alone, (Madam) and overcast with thought, uncloud— uncloud— for if we may believe the smiles of Fortune, love shall no longer pine in prison thus, nor undelivered travel with throes of fear, and of desire about it. The Prince, (like to a valiant beast in nets) striving to force a freedom suddenly, has made himself at length, the surer prey: the King stands only now betwixt, and is, just like a single tree, that hinders all the prospect: 'tis but the cutting down of him, and we— Why will't thou thus embark into strange seas, and trouble Fate, for what we have already?

Why in disguise? It is the Princes policie and love; for if wee should miscarrie, some one taken might betray the rest unknowne to one another, each man is safe, in his owne valour; And what Mercers wife are you to cheapen now in stead of his silks? Troth; 'tis not so well; 'tis but a Cozen of thine—come Philan let's along:— What is it thus within whispering remorse, and calls Love Tyrant? all powers, but his, their rigour, and our feare, have made divine! But everie Creature holds of him by sense, the sweetest Tenure; yea! but my husbands brother: and what of that? doe harmlesse birds or beasts aske leave of curious Heraldrie at all? Does not the wombe of one faire spring, bring unto the earth many sweet rivers, that wantonly doe one another chace, and in one bed, kisse, mingle, and embrace? Man (Natures heire) is not by her will ti'de, to shun all creatures are alli'd unto him, for then hee should shun all; since death and life doubly allies all them that live by breath: The Aire that does impart to all lifes brood, refreshing, is so neere to it selfe, and to us all, that all in all is individuall: But, how am I sure one and the same desire warmes Ariaspes: for Art can keepe alive a beddred love. Alone, (Madam) and overcast with thought, uncloud—uncloud—for if wee may beleeve the smiles of Fortune, love shall no longer pine in prison thus, nor undelivered travell with throes of feare, and of desire about it. The Prince, (like to a valiant beast in nets) striving to force a freedome suddenly, has made himselfe at length, the surer prey: the King stands only now betwixt, and is, just like a single tree, that hinders all the prospect: 'tis but the cutting downe of him, and wee— Why would't thou thus imbarque into strange seas, and trouble Fate, for what wee have already? Thou art to mee what thou now seek'st, a Kingdome; and were thy love as great, as thy ambition; I should be so to thee.

First let mee lose th'exchequer of my wealth, your love; nay, may all that rich Treasurie you have about you, be rifled by the man I hated, and I looke on; though youth be full of sinne, and heav'n be juft, so sad a doome I hope they keepe not from me; Remember what a quicke Apostacie he made, when all his vowes were up to heav'n and you. How, ere the Bridall torches were burnt out, his flames grew weake, and sicklier; thinke on that, thinke how unsafe you are, if she should now, not sell her honour at a lower rate, than your place in his bed.
