My love Pandora for whose sake I live? Hide not thy beauty which is Melos sun. Here is none but us too, lay aside thy vale. Here is Stesias, Melos you are deceived. Pandora hath deceived me I am undone. So will not I sir, I mean simply. Come hast thou all his jewels and his pearls? I all, but tell me which way shall we go? Unto the sea side, and take shipping straight. Well I am revenged at last of my Master, I pray God I may be thus even with all mine enemies: only to run away with their wives. Gunophilus, for thee I have done this. I and for yourself too, I am sure you will not beg by the way. For thee I'll beg and die Gunophilus. I so I think, the world is so hard, that if ye beg ye may be sure to be starved. I prithee be not so churlish. O this is but mirth, do you not know Comes facetus est tanquam vehiculus in via: A merry companion is as good as a Wagon, For you shallbe sure to ride though ye go a foot. Gunophilus, setting this mirth aside, Dost thou not love me more than all the world? Be you as steadfast to me as I'll be to you, and we two will go to the world's end, and yet we cannot, for the world is round, and seeing 'tis round, let's dance in the circle, come turn about. When I forsake thee, than heaven itself shall fall. No, God forbid, then perhaps we should have Larks. This is Enip 〈…〉, here she should be, What is it midnight? time hath been my friend, Come sweet Pandora all is safe and whist, Whither flies my love. Follow me, follow me, here comes Stesias. She hath betrayed me whither shall I fly? Either to the river, or else to thy grave. The evenings past, yea midnight is at hand. And yet Pandora comes not at the grove. But Stesias is her deputy he comes. And with his shephook greets Learchus thus. Pardon me Stesias, 'twas Pandora's wiles, That hath betrayed me, trust her not, she is false. Why dost thou tell me the contrary take that, She is honest but thou wouldst seduce her. Away from my grove, out of my land, Did I not give thee warning? Now other planets influence is done, To Cynthia lowest of the erring stars, Is beauteous Pandora given in charge. And as I am so shall Pandora be, New fangled, fickle, slothful, foolish, mad, inspite of nature that envies us all. Come, come Pandora, we must make more haste, Or Stesias will overtake us both. I cannot go no faster, I must rest. We are almost at the the sea side I pray thee rise. O I am faint and weary, let me sleep. Pandora if thou love me let us go. Why dost thou waken me i'll remember this. What are you angry with me.
