You see I use it. I have one is whiter. It may be so. Yet this smells well. And cleanses Very well, madame, and resists the crudities. FULVIA, I pray thee, who comes to thee, now? Which of our great Patricians? Faith, I keep No catalogue of'em. Sometimes I have one, Sometimes another, as the toy takes their bloods. Thou hast them all. Faith, when was QVINTUS CURIUS, Thy special servant, here? My special servant? Yes, thy idolater, I call him. He may be yours, If you do like him. How! He comes, not, here, I have forbid him, hence. VENUS forbid! Why? Your so constant lover. So much the rather. I would have change. So would you too, I am sure. And now, you may have him. he's fresh yet, FULVIA: Beware, how you do tempt me. Faith, for me, He is somewhat too fresh, indeed. The salt is gone, That gave him season. His good gifts are done. He does not yield the crop that he was wont. And, for the act, I can have secret fellows, With backs worth ten of him, and shall please me (Now that the land is fled) a myriad better. And those one may command. 'Tis true: these Lordings, Your noble fauns, they are so imperious, saucy. Rude, and as boisterous as centaurs, leaping A lady, at first sight. And must be borne Both with, and out, they think. Tut, I'll observe None of 'em all: nor humour 'em a jot Longer, than they come laden in the hand, And say, here's t'one, for th'tother. does CAESAR give well? They shall all give, and pay well, that come here, If they will have it: and that jewels, pearl, Plate, or round sums, to buy these. I'm not taken With a cob-swan, or a high-mounting bull, As foolish LEDA, and EUROPA were, But the bright gold, with DANAE. For such price, I would endure, a rough, harsh JUPITER, Or ten such thundering gamesters: and refrain To laugh at 'em, till they are gone, with my much suffering. thouart a most happy wench, that thus canst make Use of thy youth, and freshness, in the season: And haste it, to make use of. (Which is the happiness.) I am, now, feign to give to them, and keep Music, and a continual table, to invite 'em; (Yes, and they study your kitchen, more than you) Eat myself out with usury, and my lord, too, And all my officers, and friends beside, To procure moneys, for the needful charge I must be at, to have'em: and, yet, scarce Can I achieve 'em, so. Why, that's because You affect young faces only, and smooth chins, If you'd love beards, and bristles, (One with another, as others do) or wrinkles— Who's that? Look GALLA. 'Tis the party, madame. What party? Has he no name? 'Tis QVINTUS CURIUS. Did I not bid 'em, say, I kept my chamber? Why, so they do. I'll leave you, FULVIA. Nay, good SEMPRONIA, stay.
