No, I'll none, I'll not be bought a slave, A Pander, or a Parasite, for all Your father's worth, though you have saved my life, Rescued me often from my wants, I must not Wink at your follies: that will ruin you. You know my blunt way, and my love to truth: Forsake the pursuit of this lady's honour, Now you do see her made another man's, And such a man's, so good, so popular, Or you will pluck a thousand mischiefs on you, The benefits you have done me, are not lost, Nor cast away, they are pursed here in my heart, But let me pay you, sir, a fairer way Than to defend your vices, or to soothe'em. Ha, ha, ha, what are my courses unto thee? Good Cousin Pontalier, meddle with that That shall concern thyself. No more but scorn? Move on then, stars, work your pernicious will. Only the wise rule, and prevent your ill. Fly not to these excuses: thou hast been False in thy promise, and when I have said Ungrateful, all is spoke. Good my Lord, but hear me only. To what purpose, trifler? Can any thing that thou canst say, make void The marriage? or those pleasures but a dream, Which Charaloyes (oh Venus) hath enjoyed? I yet could say that you receive advantage, In what you think a loss, would you vouchsafe me That you were never in the way till now With safety to arrive at your desires, That pleasure makes love to you unattended By danger or repentance? That I could. But apprehend one reason how this might be, Hope would not then forsake me. The enjoying Of what you most desire, I say th' enjoying Shall, in the full possession of your wishes, Confirm that I am faithful. Give some relish How this may appear possible. I will Relish, and taste, and make the banquet easy: You say my lady's married. I confess it, That Charolois hath enjoyed her, 'tis most true That with her, he's already Master of The best part of my old Lords state. Still better, But that the first, or last, should be your hindrance, I utterly deny; for but observe me: While she went for, and was, I swear, a Virgin, What courtesy could she with her honour give Or you receive with safety— take me with you, When I say courtesy, do not think I mean A kiss, the tying of her shoe or garter, An hour of private conference: those are trifles. In this word courtesy, we that are gamesters point at The sport direct, where not alone the lover Brings his Artillery, but uses it. Which word expounded to you, such a courtesy Do you expect, and sudden. But he tasted the first sweets, Bellapert. He wronged you shrewdly, He toiled to climb up to the Phoenix nest, And in his prints leaves your ascent more easy. I do not know, you that are perfect critics In women's books, may talk of maidenheads. But for her marriage.

Ha, ha, ha, what are my courses vnto thee? Good Couin Pontalier, meddle with that That shall concerne thy selfe. No more but scorne? Moue on then, starres, worke your pernicious will.

To what purpose, trifer? Can any thing that thou canst say, make voyd The marriage? or those pleasures but a dreame, Which Charaloyes (oh Venus) hath enioyd?
