Change is no robbery: yet in this change Thou robbest me of my heart, sure Cupid's here, Disguised like a pretty Torchbearer, And makes his brand a Torch, that with more sleight He may entrap weak women: here the sparks Fly as in Aetna from his Father's anvil. O powerful Boy! my heart's on fire, and unto mine eyes The raging flames ascend, like to two Beacons, Summoning my strongest powers, but all too late, The Conqueror already opes the gate. I will not ask his name. You dare put it into my hands. Zounds, do you think I will not? Then thus, tomorrow (you'll be secret, servant.) All that I do, I'll do in secret. My husband goes to Mawrano to renew the Farm he has. Well, what time goes the jakes-farmer? He shall not be long out, but you shall put in, I warrant you. Have a care that you stand just i'the nick about six o'clock in the evening; my Maid shall conduct you up, to save mine honour you must come up darkling, and to avoid suspicion. Zounds, hoodwinked, and if you'll open all sweet Lady. But if you fail to do't. The Sun shall fail the day first. Tie this ring fast, you may be sure to know. You'll brag of this, now you have brought me to the bay. Pox o''is mask: would 'twere done, I might To my Apothecaries for some stirring meats. methinks sir, you should blush e'en through your vizor, I have scarce patience to dance out the rest. The worse my fate that ploughs a marble quarry: Primaleon yet thy Image was more kind, Although thy love not half so true as mine. Dance they that list, I sail against the wind. Nay sir, betray not your infirmities, You'll make my Husband jealous by and by; We will think of you, and that presently. The Spheres ne'er danced unto a better tune. Sound Music there. 'Twas Music that he spoke. Gallants I thank you, and Begin a health to your Mistresses. Fair thanks sir Bridegroom. He speaks not to this pledge, has he no Mistress? Would I might chose one for him: but't may be He doth adore a brighter Star than we. Sit Ladies sit, you have had standing long. Bless the man: spritely and nobly done. What, is your Ladyship hurt? O no, an easy fall. Was I not deep enough, thou God of lust, But I must further wade? I am his now, As sure as Iuno's Ioues, Hymen take flight, And see not me, 'tis not my wedding night. The Brides departed, discontent it seems. we'll after her. Gallants, unmask I pray, And taste a homely banquet we entreat. Candidi Ernigos I beseech thee. Come Widow, I'll be bold to put you in. My Lord will you have a sociate? Good gentlemen if I have any interest in you, Let me depart unknown, 'tis a disgrace Of an eternal memory. What the fall my Lord, as common a thing as can be, the stiffest man in Italy may fall between a woman's legs.

Change is no robbery: yet in this change Thou rob'st me of my hart, sure Cupid's here, Disguis'd like a pretty Torch-bearer, And makes his brand a Torch, that with more sleight He may intrap weake women: here the sparkes Fly as in Etna from his Fathers Anuile. O powerfull Boy! my heart's on fire, and vnto mine eyes The raging flames ascend, like to two Beacons, Summoning my strongest powers, but all too late, The Conquerour already opes the gate. I will not aske his name. You dare put it into my hands. Zounds, doe you thinke I will not? Then thus, to morrow (you'll be secret, seruant.) All that I doe, Ile doe in secret.

Haue a care that you stand iust i'the nicke about sixe a clocke in the euening; my Maide shall conduct you vp, to saue mine honor you must come vp darkling, and to auoid suspition.
