O Go ! Could you do this, you should preserve yourself, A perfect friend of me, and me a Son. Remember you your part, and fear not mine: Rate him, revile him, and renounce him too: Speak, can you do't man? I'll do all I can. alas good man, how Nature overweighs him. God save you Sir. Rinaldo, All the News You told me as a secret, I perceive Is passing common; for your Father knows it, The first thing he related, was the Marriage. And was extremely moved? Beyond all measure: But I did all I could to quench his fury: Told him how easy 'twas for a young man To run that Amorous course: and though his choice Were nothing rich, yet she was gently borne, Well qualified and beautiful: But he still Was quite relentless, and would needs renounce him. My Brother knows it well, and is resolved To trail a Pike in Field, rather than bide The more feared push of my vexed Father's fury. Indeed that's one way: but are no more means Left to his fine wits, then t'incense his Father With a more violent rage, and to redeem A great offence with greater? So I told him: But to a desperate mind all breath is lost, Go to, let him be wise, and use his friends, Amongst whom, I'll be foremost to his Father: Without this desperate error he intends joined to the other; I'll not doubt to make his Easie return into his Father's favour: So he submit himself, as duty binds him: For Fathers will be known to be themselves, And often when their angers are not deep, Will paint an outward Rage upon their looks. All this I told him Sir; but what says he? I know my Father will not be reclaimed, he'll think that if he wink at this offence, 'twill open doors to any villainy: I'll dare to sell to pawn, and run all riot, To laugh at all his patience, and consume All he hath purchased to an honoured purpose, In maintenance of a wanton Whirligig, Worth nothing more than she wears on her back. The very words I used t'incense his Father, But good Rinaldo let him be advised: How would his Father grieve, should he be maimed, Or quite miscarry in the ruthless war? I told him so; but better far (said he) One branch should utterly be lopped away, Than the whole Tree of all his race should perish: And for his wants, better young want, than eld. By heaven the same words still I used t'his Father. Why comes this about? Well, good Rinaldo, If he dare not endure his Father's looks, Let him and his fair wife come home to me, Till I have qualified his Father's passion, He shall be kindly welcome, and be sure Of all the intercession I can use.
