Madam let me sigh it in your bosom, how immutable and unfainting and indeed— Fawne I will undo that rascal, he shall starve for any further maintenance. You may make him come to the covering and recovering of his old doublets. He was in fair hope of proving heir to his elder brother, but he has gotten me with child. So, you withdrawing your favour, his present means fail him, and by getting you with child, his future means for ever rest despairful to him. O heaven that I could curse him beneath damnation, impudent varlet: by my reputation Fawn, I only loved him, because I thought I only did not love him, he vowed infinite beauties doted on him, alas I was a simple country Lady, wore gold buttons, trunk sleeves, and flagon bracelets, in this state of innocency was I brought up to the Court. And now in stead of country innocency, have you got court honesty: well Madam leave your brother to my placing, he shall have a special cabin in the ship of fools. Right, remember he got his elder brother's wife with child, and so deprived himself of th'inheritance. That will stow him under hatches I warrant you. And so deprived himself of inheritance, dear Fawn be my champion. The very scourge of your most basely offending brother Ignoble villain, that I might but see thee wretched without pity, and recovery, well. Stand Herod, you are full met sir. But not met, full sir, I am as gaunt as a hunting gelding after 3. trained scents, fore Venus' fan I have been shelling of peascods, upon four great Madonnas have I this afternoon grafted the forked tree, is't possible? Possible? fie on this satiety, 'tis a dull, blunt, weary, & drowsy passion; who would be a proper fellow to be thus greedily devoured & swallowed among Ladies? faith 'tis my torment, my very rack. Right Herod, true, for imagine all a man possessed with a perpetual pleasure, like that of generation, even in the highest lusciousness, he straight sinks as unable to bear so continual, so pure, so universal a sensuality. By even truth t's very right, & for my part would I were eunuched rather than thus sucked away with kisses, enfeebling dalliance, & O the falling sickness on them all, why did reasonable nature give so strange, so rebellious, so tyrannous, so insatiate parts of appetite to so weak a governs a woman. Or why O custom didst thou oblige them to modesty, such cold temperance, that they must be wooed by men, courted by men? why all know, they are more full of strong desires, those desires most impatient of delay, or hindrance, they have more unruly passions than men, and weaker reason to temper those passions than men.

Madam let me sigh it in your bosome, how immutable and vnfainting and indeede— Fawne I will vndo that raskall, he shall sterue for any further maintenance. You may make him come to the couering and recouering of his old dublets. He was in faire hope of prouing heire to his elder brother, but he has gotten me with child. So, you withdrawing your fauour, his present meanes faile him, and by getting you with child, his future meanes for euer rest despairefull to him. O heauen that I could curse him beneath damnation, impudent varlet: by my reputation Fawne, I onely lou'de him, because I thought I onely did not loue him, he vowed infinit beauties doted on him, alas I was a simple country Ladie, wore gold buttons, trunck sleeues, and flaggon bracelets, in this state of innocency was I brought vp to the Court. And now in stead of country innocency, haue you got court honesty: well Madam leaue your brother to my placing, he shall haue a speciall cabin in the ship of fooles. Right, remember hee got his elder brothers wife with child, and so depriude himselfe of th'inheritance. That will stow him vnder hatches I warrant you. And so depriude himselfe of inheritance, deare Fawne be my champion. The very scourge of your most basely offēding brother Ignoble villaine, that I might but see thee wretched without pitty, and recouerie, wel. Stand Herod, you are full met sir. But not met, ful sir, I am as gaunt as a hunting gelding after 3. traind sents, fore Venus fanne I haue beene shaling of peascods, vpon foure great Madonnas haue I this after noone grafted the forked tree, I'st possible? Possible? fie on this satiety, tis a dul, blunt▪ weary, & drowsie passion; who would be a proper fellow to be thus greedily deuoured & swallowed among Ladies? faith tis my torment, my very rack. Right Herod, true, for imagine all a man possest with a perpetuall pleasure, like that of generation, euen in the highest lushiousnes, he straight sinkes as vnable to beare so continuall, so pure, so vniuersall a sensuality. By euen truth ti's very right, & for my part woulde I were eunuch't rather then thus suckt away with kisses, infeebling daliance, & O the falling sicknes on them all, why did reasonable nature giue so strange, so rbellious, so tirannous, so insatiate parts of appetite to so weake a gouernes a womā. Or why O custome didst thou oblige them to modesty, such cold temperāce, that they must bee wooed by men, courted by men? why all know, they are more full of strong desires, those desires most impatient of delay, or hinderāce, they haue more vnrulie passiōs then men, and weaker reason to temper those passions then men.
