By gulfs; by rocks, e'en by the laws of hell. we swim who would obtain the gates of heaven. O what a large divinity's involved About the awful phrase of Emperor. The name, the name of King, how it awakes Our caitiff blood, quickens our faculty! Ambition be my judge, if I were sick, Wounded with pistols, out of hope to live, Forsaken by all Art and physic law, Lay speechless in my chamber, lost my sense Of man or voice making no difference Yet through the magic of this powerful sound, You are a King, (if hallowed in my ear) I should again recover, should recoil Skip forty fathom from the couch, and sing, Dance without shame, though naked, without noise Trample amid the pavement, touch my roof, Run giddy with glad passion, rub my veins, Like one revived anew, esteem all base Under blood-royal, be a rank mad man, Till joy and rapture both were clean digested. How readily man's temper is traduced? How forcible temptation doth oppose The supernatural act of doing well? we are like windmills on ambitious mounts, Open to every tempest, which will turn Our sails without resistance: like the waves worried from shores to rocks; from rocks to shelf; Man is not man till he deny himself. Yet on our state's imposed a slavish curse, To see things good, though we connive at worse. Ah husband, husband, what excessive care Invaded me with violence? shot far Into my shaking bosom, when I saw Your sudden absence? heavy sleep alas No sooner left mine eyelids, gave me leave To ask, how does the comfort of my soul? How does my silent love? my dear Pheudippe? But with familiar lip, and flexile arm, I seized upon the pillow 'stead of thee. Think how intruding jealously began To blur whatever I could wisdom call, Within me, or without me; which alas, All knows extremely dwarfish in out sex. jealous the first night wife? O then or never An honest, loving wife is jealous ever. jealous at home, lest husbands over-vex A painful heart with meditation, Of matters which concern his family. jealous when husbands be enforced to travel; Danger exceeds the objects they do meet, Whether by sea, or in the public street. I (peevish fool) perceiving you were gone, Thus in my choler did expostulate: Doth he for some dislike abhor my sheets? Neglect what others love? the maiden sweets Of mutual embracement? may men's taste Lose their accustomed relish, and refuse The mellow joys of ripe virginity? Will he contemn the sportive dalliance That married couples may engross with leave? Will he this midnight show himself no man? The first night of our meeting be disgraced? Or will he by disaster end all strife? Perish? and so prevent a formal tax That may impeach his manhood? Thus, even thus Poor foolish I did thus prevaricate; Thus (for indeed we women struggle much Until delivered of opinion) thus Did loving zeal prejudicate amiss. You are offended (love) I do suspect See how his colour's changed, astonishment! Prithee what pensive thoughts oppress thy soul? I read the humour of a malcontent Written between your eyebrows; recollect The common sparks of scattered Majesty. Speak gentle sir.
