How now young dame? what so dainly inspird This speech hath silver hairs, and reverence asks And sooner shall have duty done of me Then any pomp in temporal Empery. Good madam get my Lord to let us greet him. Alas we shall but wrong and trouble him. His Contemplations greet him with most welcome. I never knew a man of so sweet a temper So soft and humble, of so high a Spirit. Alas my noble Lord he is not rich, Nor titles hath, nor in his tender cheeks The standing lake of Impudence corrupts, Hath nought in all the world, nor nought wood have, To grace him in the prostituted light. But if a man wood consort with a Soul Where all man's Sea of gall and bitterness Is quite evaporate with her holy flames, And in whose powers a dove-like Innocence Fosters her own deserts, and life and death, Runs hand in hand before them: All the Skies Clear and transparent to her piercing eyes, Than wood my friend be something, but till then A Cipher, nothing, or the worst of men. Sweet Lord let's go visit him. Pray good my Lord, what's that you talk on? Are you come from your necessary business Sir Gyles? we talk of the visiting of my sick friend Clarence. O good my Lord let's visit him, cause I know his brother. Know his brother, nay then Count do not deny him. Pray my Lord whether was eldest, he or his elder brother? O! the younger brother eldest, while you live Sir Gyles. I say so still my Lord, but I am so borne down with truth as never any knight i'th' world was I think. A man wood think he speaks simply now; but indeed it is in the will of the parents, to make which child they will youngest, or eldest: For often we see the younger inherit, wherein he is eldest. Your Logical wit my Lord is able to make any thing good. Well come sweet Lords, & Ladies, let us spend The time till suppertime with some such sights As my poor house is furnished withal Pictures and jewels; of which implements It may be I have some will please you much. Sweet Lord let's see them. I think your disease Sir, be rather of the mind then the body. Be there diseases of the mind Doctor? No question Sir, even as there be of the body. And cures for them too? And cures for them too, but not by Physic. You will have their diseases, griefs? will ye not? Yes, oftentimes. And do not griefs ever rise out of passions? Evermore. And do not passions proceed from corporal distempers? Not the passions of the mind, for the mind many times is sick, when the body is healthful. But is not the minds-sickness of power to make the body sick? In time, certain. And the bodies ill affections able to infect the mind? No question.
