My spirits, while they were opposed, kept up they could not sink beneath a rival scorn.

But now she's gone, and

Vain promiser.

Lead me, my Carmion, nay, your hand too, Iris.

My grief has weight enough to sink you both.

Conduct me to some solitary chamber and draw the curtains round, then leave me to myself, to take alone my fill of grief.

There, I till death will his unkindness weep as harmless infants moan themselves asleep.

I grant you jealousy's a proof of love, but 'tis a weak and unavailing medicine it puts out the disease and makes it show, but has no power to cure.

Can I do this?

Ah no, my love so true that I can neither hide it where it is, nor show it where it is not.

Nature meant me a wife, a silly, harmless household dove, fond without art, and kind without deceit.

But fortune that has made a mistress of me, has thrust me out to the wide world unfurnished of falsehood to be happy.

Discoursing with my women, might not I share in your entertainment?

You have been the subject of it, madam.

How?

And how?

Such praises of your beauty.

Mere poetry your Roman wits, your gullus and Tibellus, have taught you this from Scytheris and Delia.

You flatter me, but 'tis your nation's vice.

All of your country are flatterers, and all false.
