Pantofle. At your pleasure sir? Thou hast been at my pleasure indeed Pantofle, I will retreat into the country, hate this amorous, Court and betake myself to obscurity: I tell thee boy I will return by this Circean Isle without transformation since Hebe hath discovered her secrets I will turn Jupiter, hate the whole sex of women, and only embrace thee my Ganymede. 'sfoot sir you are as passionate for the disloyalty of your Sempstress as some needy knight would be for the loss of some rich magnificos widow: do you not see how the supporters of the Court, the Lady of the labby gape after your good parts like so many grigs after fresh water, and can you withhold the dew of your moister element? I tell thee should the Lady Iulia when she was alive have proffered me her cheek to kiss, I would not have bowed to that painted image for her whole Dukedom: Mercury had no good aspect in the horoscope of my nativity: women and lotium are reciprocal, their savour is noisome. Why her's a slave in folio will seem to slight the love of a Princess, when he would willingly spend his talon on an oyster wife. Sirrah Pantofle truss up my wardrobe: but withal publish my departure, I would willingly put my creditors to the charge of guarding me out of town. will much scandalize your reputation for to depart indebted: you will be cursed heavily. To depart in debted boy, is the only way to be prayed for, seeing they know it is my prosperity and welfare that must make them satisfaction. Before heaven an excellent reason. Pray Sir make even with your tailor, he is poor. Most willingly, for I am not possessed of a pennikin, and if he be not before with me, I take it we are even, and may walk in campage. Pantofle vanish. I go Sir. I have it, thanks sweet Thalia, thou hast begot a child of mirth in my brain, I will put it to this creature of Florence to nurse: Saucy signior. Eunuchus, Venus restore thee to thy generation: what doings are now in your quarters? Doings: in faith courtly and weak: Cupid help the poor Ladies. you are above me, I mean not their ingenys or upper galleries: Nor I neither: and yet I speak of their understandings, which by reason of a general spring, halt and debility in their hams (heavens know) are most falteringly feeble: but to present the message I am sent for: to your worthiest self, from my Lady and mistress the protector's wife: you are intelligent? The beauteous Timoclea. heavens grant she may have the virtue of attraction: for she hath laid open, the luster of her best parts to your grace Sir: nay make not retreat Sir: she knows you disdain her love.
