'Tis an act indeed Deserves reproach Deserves a Chronicle A legend of delight. Which when 'tis read By the learned youth of Hogsden after supper, Shall cause such laughter 'mongst th' attentive family, That Cheapside wives shall curse the noise, for souring The market women's cream and buttermilk. You're very pleasant Cousin. Some man's jealousy. Would soon interpret it to be but scorn. What you intend it— Cosin it is my zeal Makes me thus light and airy; yet rather Than my behaviour should give way unto The least suspicion, I'll put on a shape Of like dejectedness, as seems to clothe Your melancholic Bride; But how 'twould show ' th' occasion makes it doubtful. If she'll weep Upon her wedding day, let it not be But that she apprehends th' ensuing night Brings on her joyful fears. Cosin let's drink A health to the effect: a jolly boy Will follow fear not. Yet the cause is hindered. Pray let your counsels in our danger be Movers unto more serious thoughts and actions. Our peace is not yet settled; and we doubt What the success may be which our proceedings Are destined to. Success! the best that time, And th' application of endeavours can Crown your desires with. Yet I must confess Your parents storm, and threaten death if law By any trick can urge it. But the old man Seems to forgive you; only his intent Is to dispose his state some other way Then leave the least part yours. Which to comply for With any least submission I should rather Banish myself his sight, and cancelling All th' obligations of indebted duty, Scorn to be flattered into payment of it. Cosin be ruled by me; confirm yourself In this possession. You may find delights Enjoying one another though restrained A general liberty. Get into the Country Remote enough, but where you may receive Weekly intelligence and means from me; Which I'll supply you with in a proportion For moderate expense. As things grow ripe I can inform you. As it hath been ever, It shall be still my care to do you offices (For mine own ends.) You have my dearest cosin Given large testimony of your love; Requital must be studied. But for this You have advised to, a quite different course Is here resolved on, and my vow hath sealed it. I must return to labour a consent From those I have so wronged; which if denied me, I never must enjoy, what I desire Above myself. Consent. 'twould soon be had, If I prevent it not. What noise is that? Perhaps some that pursue you; hide yourselves; Her's an inner room. So, so, this is right gentlemen; one for another. Yet she looks not like carrion of Mr. Ravens leaving; I have seldom known him turn over any flesh to another that hath not been sufficiently tainted.
