With patience hear me Lady. False knight, I have given too calm an ear already To thy enchanted notes. Should I for ever sell my liberty? You need not, it is sufficient glory You have betrayed a maiden's liberty. But I'll do penance for my so black a sin, Doting on thee, I'll henceforth hate thy whole sex; The name of man to me, shall as the rock From which the shipwrecked wretch hath lately scaped Bring fear in the name of't: keep off false Siren. Heaven well ordained man should the woman woe, Should we their hard-hearts prove, we all ill should know. Stay, I will enforce thee else. Do these my tears delight thee then? cruel Hard-hearted man, glut thy relentless sight With full-eyed sorrow. she is all amorous, all fair, that she doth love, Behold those tears whose drops would pierce the hearts Of Tigers, make them pitiful, They are witnesses she feigns not: leave, leave to weep, lest putting out those lights the world should mourn. Put on a vail of black, I am thine own. If there be any Divinity, it hath His seat in beauty: thouart a God to me My Country, friends, nay being, what wouldst thou have. To be no other than myself I crave. I am no more mine own, rather than lose So true a happiness, as thy constant love, There is no way so black I would not prove, That lies from heaven to hell. Crosman in vain Thy arguments were spent wouldst thou prevail? Here is an Orator can turn me easily, Where beauty pleads, there needs no sophistry. Thou hast o'ercome me Voada. And I will raise thee but thou dost name a good, I cannot call mine till I am possessed of 't. Call in thy friends, make preparation, I'll take the orders instantly, My speed shall give prevention to the prate Of th'idle multitude: away, the flame doth burn Which sets the world on fire, and makes me turn. Thou art all harmony, best love I fly, I have my ends, How ere thou sink, thy wealth shall bear me high. So, the day leaves the world, chaste Voada Nothing can make him miserable enjoys thee: What is 't I lose by this my change? my Country, Already 'tis to me impossible, My name is scandaled? what is one Island Compared to the Eastern Monarchy? this large Unbounded station shall speak my future fame; Besides, they are slaves stand subject unto shame. One good I enjoy, outweighs all ills whatever Can be objected; to sum my happiness: That God on earth, to whom all men stand bare, (Gold) that doth usher greatness, lackeys me, I have more than I can spend, what wants Is in command, and that my valour makes Due purchase of, I'll rather lead on slaves Then be commanded by the power of Kings. Beauty, Command, and Riches, they are these three The world pursues, and these do follow me. Speak, what news Francisco?

With patience heare me Lady. False knight, I haue giuen too calm an eare already To thy inchanted notes. Should I for euer sell my liberty? You need not, it is sufficient glory You haue betraid a maidens liberty. But Il'e do penance for my so blacke a sin, Doting on thee, I'le henceforth hate thy whole sex; The name of man to me, shall as the rocke From which the ship-wrackt wretch hath lately scap't Bring feare in the name of't: keepe off false Syren. Heauen well ordain'd man should the woman woe, Should we their hard-hearts proue, we all ill should know. Stay, I will inforce thee else. Do these my teares delight thee then? cruell Hard-hearted man, glut thy relentlesse sight With full-ey'd sorrow. Shee is all amorous, all faire, that she doth loue, Behold those teares whose droppes would pierce the hearts Of Tygers, make them pittifull, They are witnesses she faines not: leaue, leaue to weepe, Least putting out those lights the world should mourne. Put on a vaile of blacke, I am thine owne. If there be any Divinity, it hath His seate in beauty: th'art a God to me My Country, friends, nay being, what wouldst thou haue. To be no other then my selfe I craue. I am no more mine owne, rather then loose So true a happinesse, as thy constant loue, There is no way so blacke I would not proue, That lyes from heauen to hell. Crosman in vaine Thy arguments were spent wouldst thou prevaile? Heere is an Orator can turne me easily, Where beauty pleades, there needs no sophistry. Thou hast ore-come me Voada. And I will raise thee but thou doest name a good, I cannot call mine till I am possest of 't. Call in thy friends, make preparation, Il'e take the orders instantly, My speed shall giue prevention to the prate Of th'idle multitude: away, the flame doth burne Which sets the world on fire, and makes me turne. Thou art all harmony, best loue I flye, I haue my ends, How er'e thou sinke, thy wealth shall beare me high.
