This works amain upon her. I doc confess there is a Gentleman H'as borne me long good will. I do not like that. And vowed a thousand services to me; to me, regardless of him: But since Fate, that no power can withstand, h'as taken from me my first and best Love, and to weep away my youth is a mere folly: I will show you what I determine sir: you shall know all: Call Mr. Welford there: That Gentleman I mean to make the model of my Fortunes, and in his chaste embraces keep alive the memory of my lost lovely Lovelesse: he is somewhat like him too. Then you can Love? Yes certain sir. Though it please you to think me hard and cruel, I hope I shall persuade you otherwise. I have made myself a fine fool. Would you have spoke with me madam? Yes Mr. Welford, and I ask your pardon before this gentleman, for being froward: This kiss, and henceforth more affection. So, 'tis better I were drowned indeed. This is a sudden passion, God hold it. This fellow out of his fear sure has Persuaded her, I'll give him a new suit on't. A parting kiss: and good Sir let me pray you To wait me in the Gallery. I am in another world. madam where you please. I will to Sea, an't shall go hard but I'll be drowned indeed. Now Sir you see I am no such hard creature, But time may win me. You have forgot your lost Love, Alas Sir, what would you have me do? I cannot call him back again with sorrow; I'll love this man as dearly, and beshrew me, I'll keep him far enough from sea: and 'twas told me, now I remember me, by an old wise woman, that my first Love should be drowned: and see 'tis come about. I would she had told you your second should be hanged to, and let that Come about: but this is very strange. Faith Sir, consider all, and then I know you'll be of my mind: if weeping would redeem him, I would weep still. But say that I were Lovelesse, And 'scaped the storm, how would you answer this? Why for that Gentleman I would leave all the world. This young thing too? That young thing too, Or any young thing else: why I would lose my stare. Why then he lives still, I am he, your Lovelesse. A as I knew it Sir, and for that purpose prepared this Pageant: get you to your task. And leave these player's tricks, or I shall leave you, indeed I shall. Travel, or know me not. Will you then marry? I will not promise, take your choice. Farewell. There is no other Purgatory but a woman. I must do something. Mistress I am bold. You are indeed. You have so overjoyed me Lady. Take heed you surfeit not, pray fast and welcome. By this light you love me extremely.
