None else but Daphne; and Daphne works for Amyntas, Otherwise she alone, and naked stays for Amyntas, Naked, but. Amynt. But what? this vile, But, murdereth Amyntas. But Phillis knows not that Amyntas comes to the wellspring. O wellspring of woe; this cold conclusion endeth All my hope conceived, and draws confusion onward; O pytyles Thyrsis, was sowl-tormented Amyntas Not yet plagued enough, but thou must heap on a new plague? If thou mean to be ru'ld, thou mayst be a happy Amyntas. How ru'ld? Thyr. Take that good, which opportunyty offereth. God forbidden, that I take such opportunyty offered As t'attempt any thing displeasing unto my Phyills. Yet did I never thing offensive unto my Phillis, But that I loved her alas, yet alas she'enforced me to love her, That fault's hers, not mine, and beauty to blame, not Amyntas. If thou couldst leave love, wouldst thou leave of to be loving, That by not loving, thou mightst please thy bony Phillis? That, will I never say Thyrsis, nor never imagine, Love will not consent, that I ever leave to be loving. Thou wilt love her then, though in despite of her own heart. In despite? o Noah, yet needs needs must I be loving. What then? against her will. Amynt. Loue wills so, if she be wilful. Take then against her will that, which though in the beginning Seems to be painful a while, yet proves to be joyful in ending. Thy long experience, o Thyrsis, makes the be talking, Makes the be discoursing of love: but freshman Amyntas Is possessed with love, and love must frame him an answer, Love, that clogs harttyed and tongtyed lover Amyntas. Why then, wilt not go? Amy. Yes. Thyr. Whether? Amy. Strait to my long home, If no help, but this, can bring any joy to Amyntas. And is this nothing? would Daphne send for Amyntas, Unless that Phillis seemed in some part to be willing? And perchance Phillis doth know herself, that Amyntas Comes to the well indeed, but will not seem to be knowing. Now if thou wouldst have her full consent to be uttered, And mind expressed, which every woman abhorreth, Where is then thy desire, thy Phillis still to be pleasing? And if Phillis will, that Amyntas joy, be Amyntas Theft, not Phillis guyfte; what further seeketh Amyntas? O but alas who knows, that Phillis liketh Amyntas? And who knows for truth, that Phillis lyks not Amyntas? And in an equal doubt, that part is best to be taken, Which to the party's mind is most conformable always; Therefore come. Amy. Stay yet. Thyr. For what? time passeth Amyntas. O stay good Thyrsis, let's here consult for a while yet. we'll consult by the way of things that seem to be needful. Who so thinks many things▪ brings seaw to a fortunate ending.

But Phillis knows not that Amyntas coms to the wellspring. O wellspring of woe; this cold conclusion endeth All my hope conceau'd, and draws confusion onward; O pytyles Thyrsis, was sowl-tormented Amyntas Not yet plagued enough, but thou must heape on a new plague? If thou meane to be ru'ld, thou mayst be a happy Amyntas. How ru'ld? Thyr. Take that good, which opportunyty offreth. God forbid, that I take such opportunyty offred As t'attempt any thing displeasing vnto my Phyills. Yet did I neuer thing offensiue vnto my Phillis, But that I lou'd her alas, yet alas she'enforc't mee to loue her, That fault's hers, not myne, and beauty to blame, not Amyntas. If thou couldst leaue loue, wouldst thou leaue of to be louing, That by not louing, thou mightst please thy bony Phillis? That, wil I neuer say Thyrsis, nor neuer imagin, Loue wil not consent, that I euer leaue to be louing. Thou wilt loue her then, though in despyte of her owne hart. In despite? ô noe, yet needs needs must I be louing. What then? against her will. Amynt. Loue wills soe, if shee be wilfull. Take then against her will that, which though in the begynnyng Seemes to be paineful a while, yet prooues to be ioyful in ending. Thy long experience, ô Thyrsis, maks the be talking, Maks the be discoursing of loue: but freshman Amyntas Is possest with loue, and loue must frame him an aunswer, Loue, that cloggs hartty'd and tongty'd louer Amyntas.
