You are the most Courteous man that ere I met with: I am so weary that it is not possible For me to reach the City, and at the Lodge, Lysander must not stay, nor must I fly With him; I am not yet provided of money, For our flight. Fool that I was to trust That villain Iacomo, alas, I did not know Him then to be a villain. Sir, if you'll bring Me to the Lodge, I will only speak one word With one that is there, and go along with you. Come then. He takes me for a Boy, and so long There's no danger. Lay on the Hounds where the young deer went in, These old fat deer make no sport at all. If it please your Grace he is not a Stag. No matter Sir, I am the Mistress of the field this day, My Brother not being here, and I will Have it so: the sorer that the Chase is My being absent will the less be marked. Brother, methinks now your wounds being well. It were good to quit this Country for a while: For it is impossible but by some means or other, If you stay hear, you will be discovered. Sister, it is my intent; but I without The Princess leave, who hath preserved my life, Will certainly resolve of nothing. The time hath been, that you without Clarinda's leave would have done nothing. And is so still, For may I perish when I prove false To my Clarinda; yet should I say I do not Love the Princess, and with some passion too, I should but lie. See where she comes And with the splendour of her heavenly eyes Amazeth my weak senses; not Dian's self Looked half so lovely when she wooed The pale-faced Boy Endymion; Nor Pallas when she stood Competitor With the two Goddesses to gain the golden apple, Appeared with half that Majesty That she doth thus attired: hold faith, Thou never wert in such a danger. Lysander, I am glad to see you thus Recovered: I glory in my cure. madam, I am so well, That I desire your licence to depart, There's danger surely in my being here Both to yourself and me. Lysander, I know you do but jest, For should I give you leave, I know You would not go. Madam, it's best we part, should I stay here And daily look upon those Sun-bright eyes, And hear your charming tongue, my faith I fear Would prove like wax, and melt, Clarinda's picture Would be soon defaced, and I should then deserve The hate of all the world. Lysander, do not fear it, You shall this day See fair Clarinda, whose merits will arm you, Too strongly to misdoubt a change. Did your Grace see her then? Yes Lysander. I saw Clarinda, Whose perfections have compelled the heavens, In justice, to give her the most deserving man alive To be her servant.

You are the moſt Courteous man that ere I met with: I am ſo weary that it is not poſſible For me to reach the City, and at the Lodge, Lyſander muſt not ſtay, nor muſt I flye With him; I am not yet prouided of money, For our flight. Foole that I was to truſt That villaine Iacomo, alas, I did not know Him then to be a villaine. Sir, if you'l bring Me to the Lodge, I will onely ſpeake one word With one that is there, and go along with you. Come then. He takes me for a Boy, and ſo long There's no danger. Lay on the Hounds where the young Deere went in, Theſe old fat Deere make no ſport at all. If it pleaſe your Grace he is not a Stag. No matter Sir, I am the Miſtris of the field this day, My Brother not being here, and I will Haue it ſo: the ſorer that the Chaſe is My being abſent will the leſſe be markt. Brother, me thinkes now your wounds being well. It were good to quit this Countrey for a while: For it is impoſſible but by ſome meanes or other, If you ſtay heare, you will be diſcouered. Siſter, it is my intent; but I without The Princeſſe leaue, who hath preſeru'd my life, Will certainly reſolue of nothing. The time hath beene, that you without Clarinda's leaue would haue done nothing. And is ſo ſtill, For may I periſh when I proue falſe To my Clarinda; yet ſhould I ſay I doe not Loue the Princeſſe, and with ſome paſſion too, I ſhould but lye. See where ſhe comes And with the ſplendor of her heauenly eyes Amazeth my weake ſenſes; not Dian's ſelfe Lookt halfe ſo louely when ſhe woo'd The pale-fac'd Boy Endymion; Nor Pallas when ſhe ſtood Competitor With the two Goddeſſes to gaine the golden apple, Appear'd with halfe that Maieſtie That ſhe doth thus attir'd: hold faith, Thou neuer wert in ſuch a danger. Lyſander, I am glad to ſee you thus Recouer'd: I glory in my cure. Madame, I am ſo well, That I deſire your licenſe to depart, There's danger ſurely in my being here Both to your ſelfe and me. Lyſander, I know you doe but ieſt▪ For ſhould I giue you leaue, I know You would not goe. Madam, it's beſt we part, ſhould I ſtay here And dayly looke vpon thoſe Sun-bright eyes, And heare your charming tongue, my faith I feare Would proue like wax, and melt, Clarinda's picture Would be ſoone defac'd, and I ſhould then deſerue The hate of all the world. Lyſander, do not feare it, You ſhall this day See faire Clarinda, whoſe merits will arme you, Too ſtrongly to miſdoubt a change. Did your Grace ſee her then? Yes Lyſander. I ſaw Clarinda, Whoſe perfections haue compeld the heauens, In Iuſtice, to giue her the moſt deſeruing man aliue To be her ſeruant.
