O rare Sir Cutt: we shall eat nutshells. hold belly hold O pitiful knight, that knows not nuptials from nutshells. And now come port vous monsieur? port bien vous remercy. We may see it indeed Sir, & you shall go afore with us. No good monsieurs. Another Crash in my Lady's Cellar i'faith monsieur. Remercy de bon ceur monsieurs. How now my friend does not the knowing beams That through thy common sense glance through thy eyes To read that letter, through thine eyes retire And warm thy heart with a triumphant fire? My Lord I feel a treble happiness Mix in one soul, which proves how eminent Things endless are above things temporal, That are in bodies needfully confined; I cannot suffer their dementions pierced Where my immortal part admits expansure Even to the comprehension of two more Commixed substantially with her mere self. As how my strange, and riddle-speaking friend? As thus my Lord, I feel my own minds joy As it is separate from all other powers, And then the mixture of another soul Joined in direction to one end, like it, And thirdly the contentment I enjoy, As we are joined that I shall work that good In such a noble spirit as your niece, Which in myself I feel for absolute; Each good mind doubles his own free content When in another's use they give it vent. Said like my friend, and that I may not wrong Thy full perfections with an emptier grace, Then that which show presents to thy conceits, In working thee a wife worse than she seems; e tell thee plaine a secret which I knowe. My niece doth use to paint herself with white Whose cheeks are naturally mixed with red Either because she thinks pale-looks moves most: Or of an answerable nice affect To other of her modest qualities; Because she wood not with the outward blaze Of tempting beauty tangle wanton eyes; And so be troubled with their trumperies: Which construe as thou wilt. I make it known That thy free comment may examine it, As willinger to tell truth of my niece, Then in the least degree to wrong my friend. A jealous part of friendship you unfold; For was it ever seen that any dame Wood change of choice a well mixed white and red For bloodless paleness, if she strived to move? Her painting then is to shun motion, But if she mended some defect with it Breeds it more hate than other ornaments; (Which to supply bare nature) Ladies wear? What an absurd thing is it to suppose; (If Nature made us either lame or sick,) We wood not seek for sound limbs, or for health By Art the Rector of confused Nature? So in a face if Nature be made lamer Than Art can make it, is it more offence To help her want there then in other limbs? Who can give instance where dames faces lost The privilege their other parts may boast.
