she's such a one, that were I well assured Came of a gentle kind, and noble stock, I do wish No better choice, and think me rarely to wed, Fair on all goodness that consists in beauty, Expect even here, where is a kingly patient, If that thy prosperous and artificial fate, Can draw him but to answer thee in aught, Thy sacred Physic shall receive such pay, As thy desires can wish. Sir I will use my utmost skill in his recovery, provided that none but I and my companion maid be suffered to come near him. Come, let us leave her, and the Gods make her prosperous. Mark he your Music? No nor looked on vs. See she will speak to him. Hail sir, my Lord lend ear. Hum, ha. I am a maid, my Lord, that near before invited eyes, but have been gazed on like a Comet: She speaks my Lord, that may be, hath endured a grief might equal yours, if both were justly weighed, though wayward fortune did malign my state, my derivation was from ancestors, who stood equivolent with mighty Kings, but time hath rooted out my parentage, and to the world, and awkward casualties, bound me in servitude, I will desist, but there is something glows upon my cheek, and whispers in mine ear, go not till he speak. My fortunes, parentage, good parentage, to equal mine, was it not thus, what say you? I said my Lord, if you did know my parentage, you would not do me violence. I do think so, pray you turn your eyes upon me, your like something that, what Country women hear of these shows? No, nor of any shows, yet I was mortally brought forth, and am no other than I appear. I am great with woe, and shall deliver weeping: my dearest wife was like this maid, and such a one my daughter might have been: My Queen's square brows, her stature to an inch, as wandlike-straight, as silver voyst, her eyes as jewell-like, and cast as richly, in pace an other Iuno. Who starves the ears she feeds, and makes them hungry, the more she gives them speech, Where do you live? Where I am but a stranger from the deck, you may discern the place. Where were you bred? and how achieved you these endowments which you make more rich to owe? If I should tell my history, it would seem like lies disdained in the reporting. Prithee speak, falseness cannot come from thee, for thou lookest modest as justice, & thou seemest a Pallas for the crowned truth to dwell in, I will believe thee & make senses credit thy relation, to points that seem impossible, for thou lookest like one I loved indeed: what were thy friends? didst thou not stay when I did push thee back, which was when I perceived thee that thou camest from good descending.
