Consider Caricles how many have Gotten the plague, although they never touched Nor saw, nor eat, nor lay with the diseased, But being with them in the selfsame air, Let love be argument and proof of this, Who taketh its beginning from the object Or what it sees, and so as if it were Some privy passage by the eyes hath entrance Into the heart, and this is probable, For seeing of all other pores and senses The sight is capable of most mutations, And so the hottest, it must needs receive Such like infections as are round about it, And with a hot spirit entertain love's changes, As for example's sake, I will produce Out of the holy books some reasons for it Gathered from natures sole consideration; You know the bird Charadrius doth heal Those persons whose disease is the king's evil, Which bird doth fly away as soon as any Diseased with this grief hath spied her, And turns her tail to him, and shuts her eyes Not (as some say) because she would not help them But that by looking on them she by nature Draws that disease unto her, therefore wisely Declineth such a sight as present peril, You have discussed this doubt right sagely Sir, I would my daughter once might feel and find What love doth mean, I would not then conceive That she were sick, but in her perfect health, But nothing less than this is to be thought Hath happened to her, who contemns all love, But rather seems to be bewitched indeed; Dear Calasiris for our friendship's sake Show some point of your wisdom to dissolve This witchcraft, and if possible to bring her Into a good opinion of my nephew. Sirs what d'ee mean to make such tarriance? Theagines hath made such a feast, and all the good cheer will be eaten before you come, for shame come away, there are none of the guests wanting but you who are the principal, if you will be such fools to miss it, you may, but i'll not follow your foolish example. This fellow calls us rather to a battle Then to a banquet. 'Tis his rustic manner; O what a lofty fellow Bacchus is When he is well washed! but come let us go lest with his cudgel honest Nebulo Do drive us forward. Well sirs you may jest, But I mean earnest if I miss the feast. How have I played the fool and robbed myself In hasty passion of my only son; Repentance when it comes too late doth argue An inconsiderate judgement; O my Cnemon Would thou hadst killed me ere I banished thee, For death is better sure than banishment; ne'er shall I see my boy, well for this fault I will do penance, penance on myself; Athens adieu and all the City pleasures Forsake me quite; my solitary manor Far in the country where no people comes Shall be my habitation day and night Where I will eat my heart out.

Conſider Caricles how many have Gotten the plague, although they never touch'd Nor ſaw, nor eate, nor lay wih the deſeas'd, Bt being with them in the ſelfeſame aire, Let love be argument and proofe of this, VVho taketh its beginning from the object Or what it ſees, and ſo as if it were Some privy paſſage by the eyes hath entrance Into the heart, and this is probable, For ſeeing of all other pores and ſences The ſight is capable of moſt mutations, And ſo the hotteſt, it muſt needs receive Such like infections as are round about it, And with a hot ſpirit entertaine loves changes, As for examples ſake, I will produce Out of the holie bookes ſome reaſons for it Gathered from natures ſole conſideration; You know the bird Charadrius doth heale Thoſe perſons whoſe diſeaſe is the kings evill, Which bird doth flie away aſſoone as any Diſeaſed with this griefe hath ſpied her, And turnes her taile to him, and ſhuttes her eyes Not (as ſome ſay) becauſe ſhe would not help them But that by looking on them ſhe by nature Drawes that diſeaſe unto her, therefore wiſelie Declineth ſuch a ſight as preſent perill, You have diſcuſs'd this doubt right ſagelie Sir, I would my daughter once might feele and finde What love doth meane, I would not then conceive That ſhe were ſick, but in her perfect health, But nothing leſſe then this is to be thought Hath happened to her, who contemnes all love, But rather ſeemes to be bewitch'd indeed; Deere Calaſiris for our friendſhips ſake Shew ſome point of your wiſedome to diſſolve This witchchraft, and if poſſible to bring her Into a good opinion of my nephew. Sirs what dee meane to make ſuch tarriance? Theagines hath made ſuch a feaſt, and all the good cheere will be eaten before you come, for ſhame come away, there are none of the gheſtes wanting but you who are the principall, if you will be ſuch fooles to miſſe it, you may, but i'le not follow your fooliſh example. This fellow cals us rather o a battle Then to a banket. 'Tis his ruſtieke manner; O what a loty fellow Bacchus is When he is well waſh'd! but come let us goe Leaſt with his cudgell honeſt Nebulo Doe drive us forward. Well firs you may jeſt, But I meane earneſt if I miſſe the feaſt. How have I plai'd the foole and rob'd my ſelfe In haſtie paſſion of my onelie ſonne; Repentance when it comes too late doth argue An inconſiderate iudgment; O my Cnemon Would thou hadſt kill'd me ere I baniſh'd thee, For death is better ſure then baniſhment; Nere ſhall I ſee my boy, well for this fault I will do penance, penance on my ſelfe; Athens adiew and all the Citie pleaſures Forſake me quite; my ſolitarie manour Farre in the countrey where no people comes Shall be my habitation day and night Where I will eate my heart out.
