Had I been thus advised, but all too late Acquainted with your speed, I had prevented what now is past and done. Why did you not? bawd to your own misdeed, Three quarters guilty of this accident, That might & would not stop the hazard, Will ye now heap up miracle, And make it worse in note, by adding to't A bavins blaze, 'tis not so soon extinct, Being fierce of flame, quenched must it be, By watercourse of sounder policy. I am from myself in this, what shall I do? O I am mad, and mischief menace is unwitting of all purpose. Why did I cast my glove, Proclaimed the finder stickler of our sports, But to a point prevailing practice? I know not how. Leave all to me, women that wade in sin, Have their wits-charter to authorize it, And they have antidotes that to digest, Which better judgements lose themselves in, let me alone. To lie with him the while. 'tis true to lie with him, but not in sheets, To use the flourish of a woman's skill, In winds and turnings, other lying, My new made husband injures not the old, As I am simply false, I will be found Constant to death, knowing my business Is to heal up the fractures of the time, And to salve virtue in her taint of ill. I build on this. Some month. While I possess the glory of my name; Attendances according, marry our son Unto his eldest daughter, that's the point Of all: regain my jointure next, 'tis not amiss to satisfy your debts. These two achieved, the third is bedding, And if this brain beguile him not of that, Say I am single: no, since blame sits nigh, behooves give care to use true policy. Our son. Aside. Mother the noble guest expects ye, The present meeting does neglect itself Where our fair bride is wanting, Pray come in, you do them wrong. I am not well, and this commanding air Retains my health, I came to fetch it, Wherefore enriched with what was ours before, We yield fresh duty and attend them. Will you be mindful of our marriage, mother? Begin so happily in yours. I shall endeavour in it, come. Close and hushed, not a fly stirring, While they feed hungerly, we, that loves detie does proclaim pardon to presume, and speak, challenge liberty, now by my maidenhead. Swear not love. Can you forbid my oath? Sir I will swear, & till I lack it, say, nought shall confine me, I had rather feast in fancy's pittance, then to seed gauged with attention, soothing every bit with curiosity: no, I can fill my belly in a minute, satisfy my stomach in a breath: Lovers digest their sighs, and chow their spleen, while other appetites fall hungry to't, and let them greedily graze on. What's all this? lovers talk any thing.

Baud to your owne misdeede, Three quarters guiltie of this accident, That might & would not stop the hazard, VVill ye now heape vp miracle, And make it worse in note, by adding too't A bauins blaze, t'is not so soone extinct, Being fierce of flame, quensht must it be, By water-course of sounder pollicie. I am from my selfe in this, what shall I doe? O I am madde, and mischiefe mennassis vnwitting of all purpose. Why did I cast my gloue, Proclaim'd the finder stickler of our sports, But to a point preuailing practise? I know not how. Leaue all to me, women that wade in sinne, Haue their wits-charter to authorize it, And they haue antidotes that to digest, Which better iudgements lose themselues in, let me alone. To ly with him the while. Tis true to ly with him, but not in sheetes, To vse the flourish of a womans skill, In windes and turnings, other lying, My new made husband iniures not the old, As I am simply false, I will be found Constant to death, knowing my businesse Is to heale vp the fractures of the time, And to salue vertue in her taint of ill.
