I thank you sir, I'll try what I can do, Although I fear me I shall strive in vain. Well, try him, try him. Thanks sir, so I will. See, this old politic dissembling Knight, Now he perceives my Father so affectionate, And that my brother may hereafter live By him and his, with equal use of either, He will put on a face of hollow friendship. But this will prove an excellent ground to sow The seede of o amongst v; go seeke Valerio and my brother, and tell them Such news of their affairs, as they'll admire. How happy are your fortunes above mine? Both still being wood and courted still so feeding On the delights of love, that still you find An appetite to more; where I am cloyed, And being bound to love sports, care not for them. That is your fault Gazetta, we have Loves And wish continual company with them. In honoured marriage rites, which you enjoy. But seld or never can we get a look Of those we love, Fortunio my dear choice Dare not be known to love me, nor come near My Father's house, where I as in a prison Consume my lost days, and the tedious nights, My Father guarding me for one I hate And Gratiana here my brother's love, joys him by so much stealth, that vehement fear Drinks up the sweetness of their stolen delights: Where you enjoy a husband, and may freely Perform all obsequies you desire to love. Indeed I have a husband, and his love Is more than I desire, being vainly jealous: Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects, Extremes heat mortifies like extreme cold: Extreme love breeds satiety as well As extreme Hatred: and too violent rigour, Tempts chastity as much, as too much Licence: There's no man's eye fixed on me but doth pierce My husbands soul: If any take my welfare? He straight doubts Treason practised to his bed: Fancies but to himself all likelihoods Of my wrong to him, and lays all on me For certain truths; yet seeks he with his best, To put Disguise on all his jealousy, Fearing perhaps, lest it may teach me that, Which otherwise I should not dream upon: Yet lives he still abroad, at great expense, Turns merely Gallant from his farmer's state, uses all Games and recreations: Runs Races with the Gallants of the Court, Feasts them at home, and entertains them costly, And then upbraids me with their company: See see, we shallbe troubled with him now. Now ladies, what plots have we now in hand? They say, when only one Dame is alone, She plots some mischief; but if three together, They plot three hundred: Wife, the Air is sharp, you'd best to take the house lest you take cold. alas this time of year yields no such danger, Go, in I say; a friend of yours attends you. He is of your bringing, and may stay.
