Art is just, and will make me amends. No doubt Sir. The chief note of a Scholar you say, is to govern his passions; wherefore I do take all patiently; in sign of which my most dear wife, I do kiss thee: make haste home after me, I shall be in my Study. Go, a vaunt, my new City dame, send me what you promised me for consideration; and mayst thou prove a Lady. Thou shalt have it, his silks shall fly for it. How sweet is a calm after a tempest, what is there now that can stand betwixt me and felicity? I have gone through all my crosses constantly; have confounded my enemies, and know where to have my longings satisfied; I have my way before me, there is the door, and I may freely walk into my delights. knock Boy. Who's their? Madonna my love, not guilty, not guilty, open the door. Art thou come sweet heart? Yes to thy soft embraces, and the rest of my overflowing blisses; come let us in and swim in our delights: a short grace as we go, and so to meat. Nay my dear love, you must bear with me in this; we'll to the Church first. Shall I be sure of it then. By my love you shall. I am content, for I do now wish to hold off longer, to whet my appetite, and do desire to meet with more troubles, so I might conquer them. And as a holy lover that hath spent The tedious night, with many a sigh and tears; Whilst he pursued his wench: and hath observed The smiles, and frowns, not daring to displease; When at last, hath with his service won Her yielding heart; that she begins to dote Upon him, and can hold not longer out, But hangs about his neck, and woes him more Than ever he desired her love before: Then begins to flatter his desert, And growing wanton, needs will cast her off; Try her, pick quarrels, to breed fresh delight, And to increase his pleasing appetite. Come Mouse, will you walk? I pray thee let me be delivered of the joy I am so big with; I do feel that high heat within me, that I begin to doubt whether I be mortal? How I contemn my fellows in the Court, With whom I did but yesterday converse, And in a lower and an humbler key Did walk, and meditate on grosser meats: There are they still poor rogues, shaking their chops, And sneaking after cheeses, and do run Headlong in chase of every jack of Beer That crosseth them, in hope of some repast, That it will bring them to; whilst I am here, The happiest wight, that ever set his tooth To a dear novelty: approach my love, Come let's go to knit the true loves knot, That never can be broken. That is to marry a whore.
