What? Troth 'tis too shameless, What said he? Why that at four women were fools, at fourteen drabs, at forty Bawds, at fourscore witches, and a hundredth Cats. O unlimitable impudency! But as for poor Ferneze's fixed heart, Was never shadeless meadow drier parched, Under the scorching heat of heavens dog, Then is my heart with your enforcing eyes. A hot simile. Your smiles have been my heaven, your frowns my hell, O pity then; Grace should with beauty dwell. Reasonable perfect by’r lady. I will love thee, be it but in despite, Of that Mendozo, witch! Farneze, witch! Ferneze thou art the Duchess favourite, Be faithful, private, but 'tis dangerous, His love is lifeless, that for love fears breath, The worst that's due to sin, O will't were death. Enjoy my favour, I will be sick instantly & take physic, Therefore in depth of night, visit Visit her chamber, but conditionally you shall not offend her bed: by this Diamond. By this Diamond. Nor tarry longer than you please: by this Ruby. By this Ruby. And that the door shall not creak. And that the door shall not creak. Nay but swear. By this purse. Go to, I'll keep your oaths for you: remember, visit. Dried biscuit? look where the base wretch comes. Beauty's life, heavens model, Loves Queen. That's his Aemilia. Nature's triumph, best of Earth. Meaning Emillia. Thou only wonder that the world hath seen. That's Emilia. Must I then here her praised? Mendozo. Madam, your excellency is graciously encountered; I have been writing passionate flashes in honour of— Out villain, villain, O judgement where have been my eyes? what bewitched election made me dote on thee? what sorcery made me love thee? but be gone, bury thy head; O that I could do more than loathe thee: Hence worst of ill, No reason else, my reason is my will. Women? nay furies, nay worse, for they torment Only the bad, but women good and bad. Damnation of mankind, breath hast thou praised them for this: And is't you Ferneze are wriggled into smock grace; fit sure, O that I could rail against these monsters in nature, models of hell, curse of the earth, women that dare attempt any thing, and what they attempt they care not how they accomplish, without all premeditation or prevention; rash in asking, desperate in working, impatient in suffering, extreme in desiring, slaves unto appetite, mistresses in dissembling, only constant in unconstancy, only perfect in counterfeiting: their words are feigned, their eyes forged, their sights dissembled, their looks counterfeit, their hair false, their given hopes deceitful, their very breath artificial: Their blood is their only God: Bad clothes, and old age are only the Devils they tremble at: That I could rail now. A mischief fill thy throat, thou foul jawed slave: Say thy prayers. I ha' forgot 'em. Thou shalt die. So shalt thou; I am heart mad. I am horn mad. Extreme mad. Monstrously mad. Why? Why? thou thou hast dishonoured my bed.
