Diaboli vertus in Lumbis est, morrow my friend; come, I could make a tedious scene of this now but, what, pab, thou art in love with a Courtesan, why sir, should we loathe all strumpet assume men should hate their own mothers or sisters, a sin against kind I can tell you. May it beseem wise man to be in love? Let wise men alone, 'twill beseem thee and me well enough. Shall I not offend the vow band of our friendship? Wher to affect that rend affected by heaen I resigne her freely, the creature and I most growe of, by this time shee has assurely heard of my resolued marriage, and no question sweares, Gods Sacrament, en Towsand Diuells Ile resigne I faith. I would but embrace her, hear her speak, and at the most but kiss her. O friend he that could live with the smoke of roast meat might live at a cheap rate. I shall near prove heartily received, A kind of flat ungracious modesty, An insufficient dullness stains my haviour. No matter sir, insufficiency and sottishness are much commendable in a most discommendable action, now could I swallow thee, thou hadst wont to be so harsh and cold i'll tell thee. Hell and the prodigies of angry love are not so fearful to a thinking mind as a man without affection, why friend, Philosophy & a nature are all one, love, is the centre in which all lines close the common bond of being. O but a chaste reserved privateness, a modest continence, He tell thee what, take this as firmest sense, " In Continence will force a Continence, Heat wasteth heat, light defaceth light, " Nothing is spoiled but by his proper might, This is some thing too weighty for thy floor. But howsoe'er you shade it, the world's eye Shines not and open out, Lying, malice, envy, are held but fidyngs. Errors of rage, when custom and the world Calls lust a crime spotted with blackest terror.. Where errors are held Crimes, Crimes are but errors Along sir to her she is an arrant strumpet: & a strumpet is. A Sarpego: Venom de Gonory to man. Things actually possessed: yet since thou And again as good make use of a Statue, A body without a soul, a carcase three months dead, Yet since thou art in love. Death man, my destiny I cannot choose. Nay I hope so, again they fell but only flesh, No jot affection, so that even in the enjoying, Absentem marmore amque putes, yet since you needs must love, Unavoidable though folly, worse than madness. Its true, but since you needs most love, you must know this, He that must love, a fool, and he must kiss, Cocledemoy vt vales Domine. Ago tibi gratias, my worshipful friend, how does your friend? Out you rascal.
