Damon. SONG. Celimena, of my heart None shall e'er bereave you: Celimena. Passion's but an empty name, Hang your heart, and burn your flame, Damon. Love as dull and muddy is, Celimena. Love by quarrels to beget Damon. Wisely you endeavour; With a grave physician's wit, Anger rouses love to fight, And his only bait is, 'Tis the spur to dull delight, Celimena. If such drops of heat can fall VOL. III. If such drops of heat can fall, Y Wild. Your judgment, gentlemen; a man, or a maid? Bel. An you make no better harmony after you are married, than you have before, you are the miserablest couple in Christendom. Wild. "Tis no great matter; if I had had a good voice, she would have spoiled it before to-morrow. Bel. When Maskall has married Beatrix, you may learn of her. Mask. You shall put her life into a lease, then. Wild. Upon condition, that when I drop into your house from hunting, I may set my slippers at your door, as a Turk does at a Jew's, that you may not enter. Theo. And while you refresh yourself within, he shall wind the horn without. Mask. I'll throw up my lease first. Bel. Why, thou wouldst not be so impudent, to marry Beatrix for thyself only? Beat. For all his ranting and tearing now, I'll pass my word, he shall degenerate into as tame and peaceable a husband, as a civil woman would wish to have. Enter Don MELCHOR, with a Servant. Mel. Sir Alon. I know what you would say, but your discovery comes too late now. Mel. Why, the ladies are found. Aur. But their inclinations are lost, I can assure you. Jac. Look you, sir, there goes the game: Your plate-fleet is divided; half for Spain, and half for England. Theo. You are justly punished for loving two. Mel. Yet I have the comfort of a cast lover: I will think well of myself, and despise my mistresses. [Exit. DANCE. Bel. Enough, enough; let's end the carnival abed. Wild. And for these gentlemen, whene'er they try, May they all speed as soon, and well as I. [Exeunt. My part being small, I have had time to-day, Like Jews, I saw them scattered through the pit; To one that talked, I knew the foe was there. Yet said, he used the French like enemies, And did not steal their plots, but made them prize. 1 |
