But let me wonder at this frailty yet; would she in so short time wear out his memory, so soon wipe from her eyes, nay, from her heart, whom I myself, and this whole I'll beside, still remember with grief, the impression of his loss taking worthily such root in us; how think you Wife? I am ashamed aunt, and abhor to think, So great and vowed a pattern of our sex, Should take into her thoughts, nay to her bed, (O stain to womanhood) a second love. In so short time. In any time. No wife. By Iuno no; sooner a loathsome Toad. High words believe me, and I think she'll keep them; next turn is yours Nephew; you shall now marry my noblest lady-daughter; the first marriage in Paphos; next my nuptials shall be yours; these are strange occurrents brother, but pretty and pathetical: if you see me in my chair of Honour; and my Countess in mine arms; you will then believe, I hope, I am Lord of the Palace, then shall you try my great lady's entertainment; see your hands freed of me, and mine taking you to advancement. Well, all this rids not my business; wife you shall be there to partake the unexpected honour of our House. Lycus, and I will make it our recreation by the way, to think of your Revels and Nuptial sports; Brother my stay hath been for you; Wife pray thee be gone, and soon prepare for the solemnity, a month returns me. heavens guide your journey. Fare-will. Farewell Nephew; prosper virility, but do you hear; keep your hand from your voice, I have a part for you in our hymenaeal show. You speak too late for my voice, but I'll discharge the part. Occurrents call ye them; soul shame confound them all; that impregnable Fort of chastity and loyalty, that amazement of the world; O ye Deities could nothing restrain her? I took her spirit to be too haughty for such a depression. But who commonly more short heeled; then they that are high i'th' instep. methinks yet shame should have controlled so sudden an appetite. Tush, shame doth extinguish lust as oil doth fire, The blood once hot, shame doth inflame the more, What they before, by art dissembled most They act more freely; shame once found is lost; And to say truth Brother; what shame is due to't? or what congruence doth it carry, that a young Lady, Gallant, Vigorous, full of Spirit, and Complexion; her appetite new whetted with Nuptial delights; to be confined to the speculation of a death's head, or for the loss of a husband, the world affording flesh enough, make the noontide of her years, the sunset of her pleasures. And yet there have been such women.

But let me wonder at this frailtie yet; would shee in so short time weare out his memorie, so soon wipe from her eies, nay, from her heart, whom I my selfe, and this whole Ile besides, still remember with griefe, the impression of his losse taking worthily such roote in vs; howe thinke you Wife? I am asham'd ant, and abhorre to thinke, So great and vow'd a patterne of our sexe, Should take into her thoughts, nay to her bed, (O staine to woman-hood) a second loue. In so short time. In any time. No wife. By Iuno no; sooner a lothsom Tode. High words beleeue me, and I thinke sheele keep them; next turne is yours Nephew; you shall now marrie my noblest Ladie-Daughter; the first marriage in Paphos; next my nuptialls shall be yours; these are strange occurrents brother, but pretie and patheticall: if you see mee in my chaire of Honour; and my Countesse in mine armes; you will then beleeue, I hope, I am Lord of the Palace, then shall you trie my great Ladies entertainement; see your handes free'd of mee, and mine taking you to aduancement. Well, all this rids not my businesse; wife you shall bee there to partake the vnexpected honour of our House. Lycus, and I will make it our recreation by the way, to thinke of your Reuells and Nuptiall sports; Brother my stay hath beene for you; Wife pray thee bee gone, and soone prepare for the solemnitie, a Moneth returnes mee. Heauens guide your iourney. Fare-will. Fare-well Nephew; prosper virilitie, but doe you heare; keepe your hand from your voice, I haue a part for you in our Hymencall shew. You speake too late for my voice, but Ile discharge the part. Occurrents call yee them; soule shame confound them all; that impregnable Fort of chastitie and loyaltie, that amazement of the world; O yee Deities could nothing restraine her? I tooke her spirit to bee too haughtie for such a depression. But who commonly more short heeld; then they that are high 'ith in-step. Mee thinkes yet shame should haue controul'd so sodaine an appetite. Tush, shame doth extinguish lust as oile doth fire, The bloud once hot, shame doth enflame the more, What they before, by art dissembled most They act more freely; shame once found is lost; And to say truth Brother; what shame is due to't? or what congruence doth it carrie, that a yong Ladie, Gallant, Vigorous, full of Spirit, and Complexion; her appetite newe whetted with Nuptiall delights; to be confind to the speculation of a deaths head, or for the losse of a husband, the world affording flesh enough, make the noone-tide of her yeares, the sunne-set of her pleasures. And yet there haue been such women.
