Mamillia
.
THe
Citie
of
Padua
,
renoumed
as
wel
for
the
antiquitie
of
the
famous
Uniuersitie
,
as
also
for
the
notable
ryuer
now
called
Po
,
when
the
Ciuill
warres
were
moste
hot
,
and
the
broyles
of
dissention
so
ryfe
,
that
the
Gothes
and
Hungarians
with
sodaine
inuasion
had
subuerted
the
whole
state
of
Italy
,
was
euer
so
fortified
with
couragious
Captaines
&
warlike
Souldiors
,
and
so
wel
gouerned
by
the
prudent
pollicy
of
their
Magistrate
Signior
Gonsaga
,
that
they
alwayes
set
out
the
flagge
of
defiaunce
,
and
neuer
came
so
much
as
once
to
parle
of
peace
with
their
enemies
;
although
Venice
,
Florence
,
Sienna
,
with
many
other
Cities
(
as
Machianell
in
his
Florentine
historie
maketh
report
)
at
the
hotte
Skirmishes
and
fierce
Assaults
of
the
Soldiours
,
accepted
conditions
of
peace
willinglye
:
so
much
preuailed
the
pollitique
wisdome
of
the
wise
Rular
.
Out
of
whose
liue
by
discent
yssued
one
Francesco
Gonzaga
,
a
Gentleman
whome
fortune
did
not
onely
endue
with
wealth
,
but
also
beautified
with
as
great
wisdome
,
as
any
of
his
predecessors
:
so
that
it
was
in
doubt
,
whether
he
wanne
more
fauour
for
his
wit
,
or
feare
for
his
ryches
:
whether
hee
were
better
lyked
for
his
calling
,
or
loued
for
his
courtesie
:
but
sure
whether
it
were
,
he
had
gayned
the
hearres
of
all
the
people
.
And
yet
for
all
these
golden
giftes
of
Nature
,
he
was
more
bound
vnto
Fortune
,
which
had
bestowed
vpon
him
one
onely
daughter
,
called
Mamillia
,
of
such
exquisit
perfection
and
singular
beautie
,
as
the
lineaments
of
her
body
,
so
perfectly
portrayed
out
by
nature
,
did
shew
this
gorgeous
Goddesse
to
be
framed
by
the
common
consent
of
all
the
Graces
:
or
els
to
purchase
Nature
some
great
commendation
by
caruing
a
peece
of
so
curious
perfection
.
For
her
body
was
not
onely
beautified
with
the
outward
blaze
of
beautie
:
but
her
minde
was
also
endued
with
the
beames
of
inward
bountie
,
as
that
men
were
rauished
as
much
with
the
wonder
of
her
wisdom
,
as
driuen
into
admiration
with
the
fourme
of
her
feature
.
But
what
neede
I
to
disciphet
her
excellent
perfection
,
sith
nature
had
so
cunningly
paynted
out
the
portraiture
,
both
of
her
mind
and
body
,
in
such
comly
coulours
,
as
it
may
suffice
for
me
to
say
,
she
was
the
flower
of
all
Venice
.
This
gallant
Gyrle
by
her
vertuous
qualities
had
made
such
a
stealth
in
the
heart
of
one
Florion
,
a
young
Gentleman
,
which
serued
as
she
did
in
the
Dukes
court
at
Venice
,
that
hee
reposed
his
onely
pleasure
in
her
presence
,
and
againe
her
onely
contentation
consisted
in
his
company
,
that
they
were
two
bodyes
and
one
soule
,
their
will
and
wish
was
alike
,
the
consent
of
the
one
was
a
constraint
to
the
other
,
the
desire
of
Mamillia
,
was
the
delight
of
Florion
:
yea
the
concord
of
their
nature
was
such
,
as
no
soppes
of
suspition
,
no
mistes
of
distrust
,
no
floddes
of
ficklenes
could
once
foyle
their
fayth
,
their
friendship
was
so
firmely
founded
on
the
rocke
of
vertue
:
for
this
straight
league
of
lyking
was
not
fleshly
fanoy
,
but
a
meere
choyce
of
Chastitie
.
Whereby
we
may
well
note
the
broad
blasphemy
of
those
which
thinke
,
because
the
Towe
cannot
touch
the
fire
,
but
it
must
burne
,
no●
the
Iuie
claspe
the
Tree
,
vnlesse
it
sucke
out
the
sappe
:
so
like
wise
the
greene
wood
cannot
touch
the
coales
,
but
it
must
flame
,
nor
the
Uine
branch
embrace
the
tender
twig
,
but
it
must
consume
it
:
that
loue
and
lyking
cannot
be
without
lust
and
lasci●iousnes
:
that
deepe
desire
cannot
be
without
fleshly
affection
:
but
this
suspition
proceedeth
of
an
eull
disposition
.
This
currish
misconstruing
commeth
of
a
corrupt
conscience
,
they
seeke
others
,
where
they
haue
beene
hidde
them selues
:
for
we
may
see
by
experience
and
manifest
examples
,
that
there
haue
beene
euen
lewd
Louers
,
which
haue
contented
their
disordinate
desire
,
onely
with
the
courteous
countenaunce
of
their
Mistresse
,
who
although
they
were
caught
in
the
snare
of
beautie
,
and
altogether
vowed
vnto
vanitie
,
yet
they
could
so
well
bridle
their
affections
,
that
the
onely
sight
of
their
Ladye
was
sufficient
to
feed
their
fancy
.
If
then
the
wanton
woer
,
whose
stay
is
but
a
rotten
staffe
,
can
so
valiantly
resist
the
Alarmes
of
lust
;
may
not
a
faythfull
friende
frie
in
friendship
,
and
freese
in
such
filthy
affection
,
be
feruent
in
goodnesse
,
and
cold
in
desire
?
yes
Amian
and
Ignatia
:
Auficlius
and
Canchia
:
Amador
and
his
Florinda
,
are
sufficient
proofes
and
presidences
of
this
chast
league
of
loyall
amitie
,
that
we
may
well
thinke
,
and
easilye
perceiue
this
sacred
bond
of
friendship
betweene
Florion
and
Mamillia
was
altogether
founded
vpon
vertue
,
and
the
more
it
is
to
be
credited
,
because
hee
had
beene
deceiued
by
the
lightnesse
of
one
Luminia
,
and
knew
very
well
,
that
there
was
litle
constancy
in
such
kites
of
Cressids
kind
,
whose
minds
were
as
foule
within
,
as
their
faces
faire
without
:
he
had
been
burnt
in
the
hand
,
for
touching
fire
without
aduisement
:
he
had
late
enough
tasted
of
that
baite
,
to
bee
taken
in
the
trappe
:
he
had
bin
too
sore
canuased
in
the
Nettes
,
to
strike
at
euery
stale
:
and
hee
had
trusted
too
much
the
shape
of
the
body
,
to
be
so
soone
allured
with
the
●ewe
of
Beawtie
:
yea
hee
had
beene
so
deepelye
drenched
in
the
waues
of
womens
wyles
,
that
euery
sodayne
sight
was
a
sea
of
suspition
,
as
he
made
a
vowe
in
the
waye
of
martage
to
abandon
the
company
of
women
for
euer
,
and
to
a
solemne
oath
,
since
he
had
wonne
againe
the
fieldes
of
his
freedome
,
neuer
by
the
leawdnes
of
loue
to
enter
into
bondage
.
Yet
he
would
not
altogether
,
(
although
hee
had
cause
with
Euripides
to
proclaime
himselfe
open
enemie
to
womankinde
)
seeme
so
absurd
a
Sophister
,
to
inferre
a
general
conclusion
of
a
particular
proposition
,
nor
be
counted
so
iniurious
,
to
condemne
al
of
lightnesse
,
for
ones
leawdnes
;
nor
to
shewe
himselfe
such
a
moodelesse
Aminius
,
to
say
all
were
Criples
,
because
he
found
one
halting
:
No
,
no
,
he
knew
all
hearbes
were
not
as
bitter
as
Coloquintida
;
that
all
water
was
not
infectious
,
though
some
were
pestilent
;
that
as
there
is
a
changable
Polipe
,
so
there
is
a
sted
fast
Emerauld
,
that
there
was
as
well
a
Lucrece
,
as
a
Lais
;
as
well
Cornelia
as
Corinna
;
as
constant
a
Penelope
,
as
a
fleeting
Phania
;
and
as
vertuous
a
Mamillia
,
as
a
vicious
Luminia
:
so
that
as
he
detested
that
one
for
her
folly
,
he
imbraced
the
other
for
her
vertue
:
insomuch
that
hauing
himself
escaped
the
seas
of
trouble
and
care
,
yet
he
thought
his
minde
not
fully
quiet
,
vntill
he
might
cause
his
friend
Mamillia
,
to
cast
her
anker
in
the
port
of
Tranquilitie
.
For
after
that
he
had
made
a
Metamorphosis
of
himselfe
from
a
Courtier
of
Venice
,
to
a
Countriman
in
Sienna
:
from
the
waues
of
wickednes
,
to
the
calme
seas
of
Securitie
:
from
the
castle
of
Care
,
to
the
pallace
of
pleasure
:
from
the
heath
of
Heauines
,
to
the
hauen
of
Happines
:
yea
,
as
he
thought
,
from
hel
to
heauen
:
yet
he
could
not
haue
a
quiet
conscience
,
til
he
might
see
her
of
the
same
sect
,
&
as
deadly
to
hate
it
,
as
he
did
loth
it
:
so
that
he
wrot
her
a
letter
,
wherein
he
counsayled
her
to
follow
his
example
,
which
shee
hauing
receiued
,
and
read
,
the
force
of
his
friendshippe
,
on
the
one
side
so
perswaded
her
,
&
the
rule
of
reason
on
the
other
side
,
so
constrayned
her
,
that
she
concluded
to
abandon
the
Dukes
Courte
for
euer
,
and
so
eschewe
the
bayte
wherein
was
hidde
such
a
deadly
hooke
,
to
abstaine
from
that
pleasure
,
which
in
time
would
turne
to
poyson
,
to
giue
a
final
farewell
to
that
condition
of
life
,
which
at
length
woulde
breede
her
confusion
.
And
therefore
hauing
obtayned
leaue
of
the
Dutches
,
came
home
in
haste
to
her
fathers
house
in
Padua
,
where
she
had
not
remayned
long
,
beefore
diuers
young
Gentlemen
drawen
by
the
passing
prayse
of
her
perfection
,
which
was
bruted
abroade
through
al
the
Citie
,
repayred
thither
all
in
general
,
hoping
to
get
the
goale
,
&
euery
one
particularly
perswading
himself
to
haue
as
much
as
any
,
wherwith
to
deserue
her
loue
:
so
that
there
was
no
Feather
,
no
fangle
,
Gem
nor
Iewell
,
Ouch
nor
Ring
left
behinde
,
which
might
make
them
seemely
in
her
sight
:
yea
some
were
so
curious
no
doubt
,
as
many
Italian
Gentlemen
are
,
which
woulde
euen
correct
nature
,
where
they
thought
shee
was
faultie
in
defect
:
For
their
narrow
shoulders
must
haue
a
quilted
Dublet
of
a
large
sise
:
their
thinne
belly
must
haue
a
coat
of
the
Spanish
cut
:
their
crooked
legges
,
a
fide
sloppe
;
their
smal
shankes
,
a
bombast
hose
,
and
their
dissembling
mind
,
two
faces
in
a
hood
:
to
wax
with
the
Moone
,
and
ebbe
with
the
sea
:
to
beare
both
fire
and
water
,
to
laugh
and
weepe
all
with
one
winde
.
NOwe
amongst
all
this
courtly
crew
,
which
resorted
to
the
house
of
Gonsaga
,
there
was
a
Gentleman
,
called
Pharicles
,
a
youth
of
wonderfull
witte
,
and
no
lesse
wealth
,
whome
both
nature
and
experience
had
taught
the
old
prouerbe
,
as
perfect
as
his
Pater
noster
,
he
that
cannot
dissemble
,
cannot
lyue
:
which
sentence
is
so
surely
setled
in
the
mindes
of
men
,
as
it
may
very
wel
be
called
in
question
,
whether
it
belong
vnto
them
as
an
inseperable
accident
,
or
els
is
engrafted
by
nature
,
and
so
fast
bred
by
the
bone
,
as
it
will
neuer
out
:
for
they
will
haue
the
cloath
to
be
good
,
though
the
lyning
be
rotten
ragges
;
and
a
fine
die
,
though
a
course
thread
:
their
wordes
must
be
as
smooth
as
oyle
,
though
their
heartes
be
as
rough
as
a
rocke
,
and
a
smiling
countenaunce
in
a
frowning
minde
.
This
Pharicles
,
I
say
,
fayre
enough
:
but
not
faythful
enough
,
a
disease
in
men
,
I
will
not
say
incurable
,
crauing
altogether
to
croppe
the
buddes
of
her
outward
beawtie
,
and
not
the
fruites
of
her
inward
bountie
;
forced
rather
by
the
lust
of
the
body
,
then
enticed
by
the
loue
of
her
vertue
;
thought
by
the
glose
of
his
painted
shew
,
to
win
the
substance
of
her
perfect
minde
,
vnder
his
side
cloathes
to
couer
his
clawes
,
with
the
cloake
of
curtesie
to
conceale
his
curiositie
.
For
as
the
birdes
cannot
be
enticed
to
the
trappe
,
but
by
a
stale
of
the
same
kind
,
so
he
knew
well
enough
,
that
she
,
whose
minde
was
surely
defenced
with
the
rampire
of
honestie
,
must
of
necessitie
haue
the
onset
giuen
by
ciuilitie
.
He
therefore
framing
a
sheepes
skin
for
his
woolues
backe
,
and
putting
on
a
smooth
hide
ouer
his
Panthers
panch
,
vsed
first
a
great
grauitie
in
his
apparell
,
and
no
lesse
demurenes
in
his
countenaunce
and
gesture
,
with
such
a
ciuil
gouernment
of
his
affection
,
as
that
he
seemed
rather
to
court
vnto
Diana
,
than
vow
his
seruice
vnto
Venus
.
This
Gentleman
being
thus
set
in
order
,
wanted
nothing
but
opportunitie
to
reueale
his
minde
to
his
new
Mistresse
,
hoping
that
if
time
would
minister
place
and
occasion
,
he
would
so
reclaime
her
with
his
faigned
eloquence
,
as
she
should
sease
vpon
his
lure
,
&
so
cunningly
cloake
her
with
his
counterfeit
cal
,
as
she
should
come
to
his
fist
:
for
he
thought
himselfe
not
to
haue
on
al
his
armour
,
vnlesse
he
had
teares
at
command
,
sighes
,
sobs
,
prayers
,
protestations
,
vowes
,
pilgrimages
,
and
a
thousand
false
othes
to
bind
euery
promise
.
While
thus
he
made
his
traine
,
Gonzaga
,
as
his
custome
was
,
once
a
yeere
inuited
all
the
youth
of
Padua
to
a
banquet
,
where
,
after
they
had
taken
repast
,
there
was
no
talke
but
of
the
beawtie
of
Mamillia
,
vntill
euerye
man
tooke
his
Mistresse
to
tread
the
measures
.
But
shee
knowing
idlenesse
to
bee
the
nource
of
Loue
,
and
thinking
him
halfe
madde
,
who
fearing
fire
,
woulde
put
towe
into
the
flame
;
or
that
doubting
of
drowning
,
would
swimme
in
the
Sea
;
conueied
her selfe
closely
from
that
wanton
company
alone
into
a
garden
,
intending
by
solitarinesse
to
auoyd
al
inconuenience
,
as
her
presence
among
the
lustie
brutes
might
haue
procured
.
Pharicles
,
who
now
thought
tyme
and
place
conuenient
to
discouer
his
minde
,
sat
quite
beside
the
saddle
:
for
perceiuiug
the
absence
of
his
Mistresse
,
his
heart
was
in
his
hose
,
and
he
stoode
,
as
if
he
had
with
Medusas
head
beene
turned
to
a
stone
.
Thus
nypped
on
the
pate
with
this
newe
mischaunce
,
he
determined
to
returne
home
in
hast
to
bewayle
his
happe
:
but
as
nothing
violent
is
permanent
,
so
his
sodaine
sore
had
a
new
salue
.
For
as
hee
passed
through
the
court
,
he
espied
Mamillia
,
reading
alone
in
the
garden
,
whose
sodaine
sight
so
reuiued
his
daunted
mind
,
as
that
he
paced
vnto
her
,
and
after
he
had
curteously
giuen
her
the
Salue
,
interrupted
her
on
t
is
manner
.
Mistresse
Mamillia
,
although
my
rashnes
merit
blame
,
in
presuming
so
farre
to
trouble
your
studye
,
yet
the
cause
of
my
boldnes
deserueth
pardon
,
sith
it
commeth
of
goodwill
and
affection
:
For
where
the
offence
proceedeth
of
loue
,
there
the
pardon
ensueth
of
course
:
But
if
you
thinke
the
faulte
so
great
,
as
remission
cannot
so
easilye
be
graunted
,
I
am
heere
willing
,
that
the
heart
which
committed
the
cryme
,
shall
suffer
the
punishment
due
,
and
yeelde
to
bee
your
slaue
for
euer

to
kneele
at
your
Shryne
as
a

in

Mamillia
hearinge
the
Gentlemanne
in
suche
tearmes
,
although
somewhat
abashed
,
payde
him
his
debte
in
the
same
coyne
.
Maister
Pharicles
,
although
your
sodaine
ariuall
did
not
greatly
hinder
my
study
,
I
thinke
it
did
not
greatly
profit
your selfe
:
so
that
your
absence
might
haue
more
pleasured
you
,
and
better
contented
me
.
And
where
you
say
the
offence
proceedeth
of
good
will
and
affection
,
I
am
not
so
madde
to
thinke
,
that
the
hearb
Sisimbrium
wil
sprout
and
sprigg
to
a
great
branch
in
a
momente
:
that
the
colde
yron
will
burne
at
the
sight
of
the
fire
:
but
hee
that
will
iuggle
must
playe
his
feates
vnder
the
boorde
,
or
els
his
halting
will
be
spied
.
And
where
in
recompence
of
your
fault
,
you
proffer
your
seruice
,
I
will
haue
no
Gentlemen
my
seruaunts
,
vnlesse
for
their
Liuery
,
I
should
giue
them
a
chaungeable
suite
:
and
therefore
if
your
market
be
ended
,
and
your
deuotion
done
,
you
haue
as
good
leaue
to
goe
,
as
to
come
.
Pharicles
perceiuing
the
frumpe
,
as
one
that
was
maister
of
his
occupation
,
serued
her
againe
of
the
same
sauce
.
Gentlewoman
,
in
that
my
ariual
did
not
greatly
hinder
your
Muses
▪
I
thinke
my
fault
so
much
the
lesse
:
although
proceeding
of
your
curtesie
,
rather
then
of
my
good
happe
:
but
if
I
had
knowne
my
absence
might
haue
pleasured
you
,
my
presence
should
not
haue
troubled
your
patience
:
and
though
the
hearbe
Sisimbrium
growes
not
to
a
great
braunch
in
a
moment
,
yet
the
tallest
blade
of
Spattania
hath
his
●ull
height
in
one
moment
:
and
if
the
Iron
burneth
not
at
the
sight
of
the
fire
,
yet
the
harde
stone
Calcir
,
which
can
be
bruised
with
no
mettall
,
melteth
with
the
heate
of
the
Sunne
,
and
is
resolued
into
licour
.
As
for
my
iuggling
,
if
it
may
be
spyed
,
it
argueth
the
more
good
will
,
and
lesse
deceite
:
so
that
if
I
halte
,
I
am
a
starke
lame
Lazar
,
and
not
a
counterfeit
Criple
.
For
my
Liuery
,
if
I
may
be
your
seruaunt
,
I
passe
not
what
couler
it
be
,
so
it
commeth
of
your
profer
,
and
not
of
my
desert
.
Thus
,
as
I
haue
nowe
begunne
my
market
with
buying
my
bondage
,
and
selling
my
freedome
,
finding
the
ware
I
looked
for
,
but
the
choyce
so
charye
,
that
no
price
will
bee
sette
,
hoping
the
champion
will
in
time
make
a
chaung
of
his
chaffer
for
my
coyne
,
I
humbly
take
my
leaue
.
Pharicles
presently
departing
vnto
his
chamber
,
lefte
Mamillia
stil
in
the
garden
,
musing
on
the
Gentlemans
sodaine
motion
,
doubting
whether
his
words
were
faithful
or
flattering
,
in
earnest
or
iest
:
so
that
somewhat
scortched
with
the
fire
of
fancie
,
she
entred
with
her selfe
into
this
meditation
.
Ah
Mamillia
,
what
straunge
alteration
is
this
?
what
sodaine
change
,
what
care
chance
?
Shal
they
,
who
deemed
thee
a
mirrour
of
modestie
,
count
thee
a
patterne
of
lightnes
?
shal
thy
staied
life
be
now
compared
to
the
Camoeleon
that
turneth
himselfe
into
the
likenes
of
euery
obiect
:
or
likened
to
the
Fullers
Mill
,
which
euer
waxeth
worse
and
worse
:
to
the
hearbe
Phanaces
,
whose
bud
is
sweete
,
and
the
fruite
bitter
:
to
the
Rauens
in
Arabia
,
which
being
young
haue
a
pleasaunt
voyce
,
and
in
their
age
a
horrible
cry
?
Wilt
thou
consent
vnto
lust
,
in
hoping
to
loue
?
shall
Cupid
claime
thee
for
his
captiue
,
who
euen
nowe
wert
vowed
a
●estall
virgin
?
Shal
thy
tender
age
be
more
vertuous
,
then
thy

?
Wilt
thou
verifie
the
Prouerbe
,
a

What
?
shal
the
beauty
of
Pha●cle●●●
cha●●
thy

or
his

bewiteh
thy
fenses
?
Wil
not
her
thinke
the
castle
wanteth
but
scā●ing
,
that
yeeldeth
at
the
first
shot
;
and
that
the
bulwarke
wanted
but
batterie
,
that
at
the
first
parle
becomes
Prisoners
?
yes
,
yes
,
Mamillia
,
his
beauty
argues
inconstancy
;
and
his
filed
phrases
,
●●ceite
:
and
if
he
see
thee
woo●
with
a
worde
,
hee
will
thinke
thee
lost
with
a
wynde
:
he
wil
iudge
that
is
l●ghtly
to
bee
gained
,
is
as
quickly
lost
.
The
hawke
that
commeth
at
the
first
cal
,
wil
neuer
be
stedfast
on
the
stond
:
the
Niesse
that
wil
be
reclaymed
to
the
fist
at
that
first
sight
of
the
lure
,
wil
baite
at
euery
bush
:
the
woman
the
wil
loue
at
the
first
looke
,
will
neuer
be
charye
of
her
choyse
.
Take
heede
Mamillia
,
the
finest
scabberd
hath
not
euer
the
brauest
blade
;
nor
the
goodliest
chest
hath
not
the
most
gorgious
treasure
:
the
bell
with
the
best
sound
,
hath
an
yron
clapper
:
the
fading
apples
of
Tantalus
,
haue
a
gallant
shew
,
but
if
they
be
toucht
,
they
turne
to
Ashes
:
so
a
faire
face
may
haue
a
foule
minde
:
sweete
words
,
a
sower
heart
:
yea
rotten
bones
out
of
a
paynted
Sepulchre
:
for
al
is
not
gold
that
glysters
.
Why
?
but
yet
the
Gem
is
chosen
by
his
hue
,
and
the
cloth
by
his
colour
:
condemn
not
then
Mamillia
,
before
thou
hast
cause
:
accuse
not
so
strictly
,
without
tryall
:
search
not
so
narrowly
,
till
thou
hast
occasion
of
doubt
.
Yea
but
the
Mariners
sound
at
the
first
,
for
feare
of
a
rocke
:
the
surgion
searcheth
betimes
,
for
his
surest
proofe
:
one
forewit
is
worth
two
after
:
it
is
good
to
beware
,
when
the
acte
is
done
too
late
commeth
repentance
.
What
?
is
it
the
beautie
of
Pharicles
that
kindleth
this
flame
?
Who
more
beautifull
then
Iason
?
yet
who
more
false
?
for
after
Medea
had
yeelded
,
he
sackt
the
forte
,
and
in
lieu
of
her
loue
,
killed
her
with
kindnesse
.
Is
it
his
wit
?
who
wyser
then
Theseus
?
yet
none
so
traiterous
.
Beware
Mamillia
,
I
haue
heard
them
say
,
she
that
marries
for
beauty
,
for
euery
dramme
of
pleasure
,
shall
haue
a
pound
of
sorrow
.
Choose
by
the
eare
,
and
not
by
the
eye
.
Pharicles
is
fayre
,
so
was
Paris
,
and
yet
fickle
:
he
is
wittie
,
so
was
Corsiris
,
and
yet
wauering
.
No
man
knowes
the
nature
of
the
hearbe
by
the
outward
shew
,
but
by
the
inwarde
Iuyce
,
&
the
operation
consistes
in
the
matter
,
and
not
in
the
●●rme
.
Yea
but
why
doe
I
stay
at
a
straw
,
&
skip
ouer
a
blocke
?
Why
am
I
curious
at
a
Gnat
,
and
let
passe
an
Elephant
?
his
beauty
is
not
it
that
moueth
me
,
nor
his
wit
the
captayne
which
shall
catch
the
castle
,
sith
the
one
is
momentary
,
and
the
other
may
be
impayred
by
sicknesse
.
Thy
faith
and
honestie
,
Pharicles
,
whereof
all
Padua
speaketh
,
hath
won
my
heart
,
and
so
shall
weare
it
:
thy
c●uility
without
dissimulation
,
thy
fayth
without
fayning
haue
made
theyr
breach
by
loue
,
and
shall
haue
their
entrance
by
law
.
Wel
Mamillia
,
the
common
people
may
erre
,
and
that
which
is
spoken
of
many
,
is
not
euer
true
.
Who
so
praysed
in
Rome
of
the
common
people
&
Senat
,
as
Iugurth
?
yet
a
rebel
.
Who
had
more
voyces
in
Carthage
then
Aeneas
?
yet
tryed
a
stragler
:
who
in
more
credit
with
the
Romaines
than
Scipio
Affricanus
the
great
?
yet
at
length
found
halting
.
The
Foxe
wins
the
fauour
of
the
lambes
by
play
,
and
then
denoures
them
,
so
perhaps
Pharicles
shewes
himselfe
in
outward
shew
a
demi
God
,
whereas
who
tries
him
inwardely
,
shall
finde
him
but
a
solemne
Saint
.
Why
?
all
Padua
speakes
of
his
honestie
,
yea
but
perchance
he
makes
a
vertue
of
his
need
,
and
so
layes
this
baulmed
hooke
of
fayned
honesty
,
as
a
luring
bayte
to
trappe
some
simple
Dame
.
Why
?
can
he
be
faithlesse
to
one
,
that
haue
beene
faithfull
to
all
?
The
cloth
is
neuer
tryed
till
it
come
to
the
wearing
:
and
the
linnen
neuer
shrinkes
,
till
it
comes
to
the
wetting
:
so
want
of
liberty
to
vse
his
will
,
may
make
a
restraint
of
his
nature
:
and
though
hee
vse
faith
and
honestie
to
make
his
marriage
,
yet
she
perhaps
that
shall
try
him
,
shall
either
finde
he
neuer
had
them
,
or
quite
forgot
them
.
For
the
nature
of
men
as
I
haue
heard
say
,
is
like
the
Amber
stone
,
which
will
burne
outwardly
,
and
freese
inwardly
:
and
like
the
Barke
of
the
Myrtle
tree
,
which
growes
in
the
mountaynes
in
Armenia
,
that
is
,
as
hot
as
fire
in
the
tast
,
and
as
colde
as
water
in
the
operation
.
The
dogge
byteth
sorest
:
when
hee
doeth
not
barke
:
the
Onix
is
hottest
when
it
lookes
white
,
the
Sirens
meane
most
mischiefe
,
when
they
sing
:
the
Tyger
then
hideth
his
crabbed
countenance
,
when
he
meaneth
to
take
his
pray
:
and
a
man
doth
most
dissemble
when
he
speakes
fayrest
.
Try
then
,
Mamillia
,
ere
thou
trust
;
proue
ere
thou
pu●
in
practise
,
cast
the
wa●er
ere
thou
appoynt
the
medicine
,
doe
all
thinges
with
deliberation
,
goe
as
the
snaile
faire
and
softly
,
hast
makes
waste
,
the
maulce
is
euer
sweetest
,
where
the
fire
is
softest
.
Let
not
wit
ouercome
wisedome
,
nor
fancie
bee
repugnant
to
faith
,
let
not
the
hope
of
an
husbande
be
the
hazard
of
thine
honesty
,
cast
not
thy
credite
in
the
chance
of
an
other
man
,
wade
not
too
farre
where
the
foorde
is
vnknowen
,
rather
bridle
thy
affections
with
reason
,
and
mortifie
thy
mynde
with
modesty
,
that
as
thou
hast
kept
thy
virginitie
inuiol●te
without
spot
,
so
thy
choyse
may
be
without
blemishe
:
know
this
,
it
is
too
late
to
call
againe
yesterday
.
Therefore
keepe
the
memory
of
Pharicles
as
needful
,
and
yet
not
necessary
:
like
him
when
thou
shalt
haue
occasion
to
loue
;
and
loue
when
thou
hast
tried
him
loyall
:
vntill
then
,
remaine
indifferent
.
When
Mamillia
had
vttered
these
worde
,
she
went
out
of
the
garden
priuily
into
her
closet
,
and
there
to
auoyde
the
inconuenience
which
might
haue
ensued
of
those
foolish
cogitations
,
called
an
old
Gentlewoman
,
which
was
her
nurse
named
Madam
Castilla
,
to
beare
her
company
:
a
Gentlewoman
,
whose
life
and
yeeres
were
so
correspondent
,
as
for
her
honestie
shee
might
haue
tryed
the
daunger
of
Dianas
caue
:
So
they
two
together
passe
the
time
in
honest
and
mery
talke
,
vntill
all
the
guestes
of
Gonzaga
had
taken
their
leaue
,
and
departed
.
But
Pharicles
,
who
all
this
while
had
a
flea
in
his
eare
,
&
his
combe
cut
with
the
taunting
quippes
of
his
Mistresse
,
as
his
fire
was
the
more
,
his
flame
was
the
greater
,
and
not
being
able
so
well
to
rule
his
lust
,
as
she
to
bridle
her
loue
,
vsed
himself
for
a
secretarie
,
with
whome
to
participate
his
passions
,
knowing
that
it
were
a
poynt
of
meere
folly
to
trust
a
friend
in
loue
,
sith
Ouid
in
his
booke
de
Arte
amand●
,
had
forbidden
that
,
as
principal
,
and
perceiuing
very
wel
,
that
in
such
matters
two
might
best
keepe
counsaile
where
one
was
away
:
entred
into
these
tearmes
with
himselfe
.
O
Pharicles
,
Pharicles
,
now
thou
findest
it
true
,
which
earst
thou
countest
for
a
fable
,
that
so
long
the
Flie
dalies
in
the
flame
that
at
length
she
is
burnt
,
that
the
birdes
Halciones
venter
so
long
in
the
waues
,
that
at
last
they
are
drowned
;
that
so
longe
the
pitcher
goeth
to
the
brooke
,
as
in
tyme
it
comes
broken
home
:
so
thou
which
warming
thy
fancy
at
euery
flame
,
and
venturing
thy selfe
at
euery
waue
,
art
at
last
burnt
with
beawtie
,
and
drowning
in
desire
,
as
it
standes
in
hazard
,
that
either
thou
returne
home
broken
,
or
halfe
crased
.
Nowe
thou
seest
venturing
,
if
it
bee
token
of
witte
,
yet
is
it
no
signe
of
wisdome
,
and
that
timiditie
in
loue
is
a
vertue
.
Nowe
hast
thou
founde
Phocas
precept
to
bee
fruitefull
,
that
a
Louer
shoulde
proceede
in
his
suite
,
as
the
Crabbe
,
whose
pace
is
euer
backwarde
,
that
though
loue
bee
like
the
Adamant
,
which
hath
vertue
to
draw
:
yet
thou
shouldest
be
sprinckled
with
goats
blood
,
which
resisteth
his
operation
:
that
though
the
face
of
some
fayre
dame
hath
power
to
incense
thy
minde
,
yet
thou
shouldest
take
the
hearb
Lupinar
to
coole
desire
.
But
Pharicles
,
if
thou
beest
taken
,
it
is
no
meruaile
,
if
thou
beest
hurt
,
it
is
no
pittie
:
for
the
Minow
that
is
euer
nibbling
,
and
neuer
byting
,
will
at
length
be
hanged
on
the
hooke
.
Thou
which
didst
accuse
so
currishly
all
women
of
lightnes
in
loue
,
shalt
perhaps
now
condemne
thy selfe
of
leawdnes
in
lyfe
:
and
thou
which
in
thy
choyce
wert
counted
captious
,
shalt
try
thy selfe
not
to
be
so
curious
.
What
Gentlewoman
in
all
Padua
was
there
eyther
so
fayre
or
honest
,
whose
beautie
or
vertue
thou
didst
not
deeme
light
,
esteeming
them
eyther
vnmeete
for
thee
,
or
thy selfe
vnfitte
for
them
:
so
that
eyther
thou
couldest
sooth
her
with
a
trumpe
,
or
els
lay
a
loading
carde
on
her
backe
,
should
wey
a
scoffe
?
and
nowe
thou
art
like
to
be
serued
of
the
same
sauce
:
which
,
if
it
happen
,
those
whome
you
vsed
for
a
sporte
,
will
eyther
thinke
thou
didst
not
know
thy
descant
,
or
els
crosse
thee
for
a
foole
.
Why
,
Pharicles
?
wilt
thou
be
a
preacher
?
who
is
so
guiltie
as
he
that
accuseth
himselfe
?
if
thou
hast
committed
the
crime
,
yet
let
an
other
finde
the
faulte
.
It
is
a
fowle
birde
defiles
the
own
neast
,
construe
al
thinges
to
the
best
,
turne
the
stearne
the
best
waye
:
yea
,
and
if
thou
haste
troden
thy
shooe
awry
,
it
is
but
a
poynt
of
youth
,
leaue
such
foolish
examinations
of
thy
crased
conscience
.
Mamillia
,
yea
Mamillia
,
Pharicles
is
the
marke
thou
must
shoote
at
:
her
beautie
is
the
goale
thou
must
seeke
to
get
:
her
fayre
face
,
her
golden
lockes
her
coral
cheekes
:
to
conclude
,
her
christall
corps
shadowed
ouer
with
a
heauenly
glasse
:
surpassing
beautie
is
the
Syren
,
whose
songe
hath
enchanted
thee
,
and
the
Circes
cuppe
,
which
hath
so
sotted
thy
senses
,
as
either
thou
must
with
Vlysses
haue
a
speedy
remedie
,
or
els
remayne
transformed
.
She
hath
the
power
to
bynd
and
loose
:
her
comelinesse
is
the
comfortable
collise
to
cure
thy
care
,
her
perfection
is
the
lenitiue
plaister
,
must
mitigate
thy
payne
:
her
beauty
is
like
the
hearbe
Phanaces
,
whiche
reuiueth
the
dead
carcasse
.
Ah
Pharicles
is
the
foundation
of
thy
faith
fixed
vpon
her
feature
?
consider
with
thy selfe
,
beauty
is
but
a
blossome
,
whose
flower
is
nipped
with
euery
frost
,
it
is
like
the
grasse
in
India
,
which
is
withered
before
it
springeth
:
what
is
more
fayre
?
yet
what
more
fading
?
What
more
delighthfull
,
yet
nothing
more
deadlye
?
what
more
pleasaunte
?
and
what
more
perillous
?
Beautie
may
wel
be
compared
to
the
Bathes
in
Calicut
,
whose
streames
flow
as
cleere
as
the
floods
of
Padus
,
and
whose
operation
is
as
pestilent
as
the
riuer
Orme
.
What
Pharicles
,
wilt
thou
become
a
precise
Pythagoras
in
renouncing
of
loue
,
or
a
teastie
Tianeus
in
dispraysing
of
beauty
?
What
more
cleere
then
the
Cristall
?
and
what
more
precious
?
What
more
comely
then
cloth
of
Arras
?
so
what
more
coastly
?
what
creature
so
beautifull
as
a
woman
,
and
what
more
estimable
?
is
not
the
Diamond
of
greatest
dignity
,
that
is
most
glistering
?
and
the
pearle
thought
most
precious
,
that
is
most
perfect
in
colour
?
Aristotle
saith
,
he
cannot
be
counted
happy
,
although
hee
had
al
the
vertues
,
if
he
want
beauty
:
yea
Appollonius
an
Arch-heretike
,
and
professed
enemie
against
the
sacred
lawes
of
beauty
,
is
driuen
both
by
the
lawes
of
nature
and
nurture
,
to
confesse
that
vertue
is
so
much
the
more
acceptable
,
by
howe
muche
the
more
it
is
placed
in
a
beautifull
body
.
Therefore
Pharicles
recant
,
as
perceiuing
thine
owne
folly
,
and
make
amends
to
beauty
,
as
guilty
of
blasphemy
:
for
by
dispraise
thou
shalte
reape
reuenge
,
and
by
praise
in
hazard
to
atchieue
thy
purpose
.
Cineas
the
Philosopher
was
of
this
opinion
,
that
when
the
Gods
framed
beauty
,
they
went
beyond
their
skill
,
in
that
the
maker
was
subiect
to
the
thing
made
:
for
none
so
wise
,
but
beauty
hath
bewitched
:
none
so
sober
but
beauty
hath
besotted
:
none
so
valiant
,
but
beauty
hath
byn
victor
:
yea
euen
the
Gods
themselues
haue
geuen
beauty
the
superiority
as
a
thing
of
more
force
then
they
were
able
to
resist
.
Well
Pharicles
,
sith
beauty
is
the
price
for
which
thou
meanest
to
venture
,
vse
no
delay
,
for
feare
of
danger
:
let
no
fonde
reasons
perswade
thy
setled
minde
,
let
not
the
preceptes
of
Philosophy
subuert
the
will
of
nature
,
youth
must
haue
his
course
,
hee
that
will
not
loue
when
he
is
young
,
shal
not
be
loued
when
he
is
olde
.
Spare
no
cost
,
nor
be
not
afrayde
of
words
:
for
they
are
as
winde
,
they
which
are
most
coy
at
the
first
,
are
most
constant
at
the
last
.
What
a
cold
confect
had
the
Lord
Mendozza
,
at
the
Dutches
of
Sauoyes
hand
?
Prictor
at
his
Coluida
,
&
Horatius
at
his
Curiatia
?
So
though
Mamillia
were
something
short
in
her
answeres
,
it
signifieth
the
greater
affection
,
though
she
made
it
strange
at
the
first
,
she
wil
not
be
strait
at
the
last
:
the
greatest
offer
hath
but
a
small
denyall
.
Well
,
to
conclude
,
I
am
fully
resolued
in
my selfe
,
eyther
to
winne
the
spurres
,
or
loose
the
horse
:
to
haue
the
blossome
,
or
lose
the
fruite
:
to
enioy
the
beautie
of
Mamillia
,
or
els
to
ieopard
a
ioynt
.
And
therefore
whatsoeuer
learning
willes
,
I
will
consent
vnto
Nature
:
for
the
best
clarkes
are
not
euer
the
wisest
men
:
whatsoeuer
the
lawes
of
Philosophy
perswade
me
,
I
will
at
this
time
giue
the
raynes
of
libertie
to
my
amorous
passions
:
for
he
that
makes
curiositie
in
loue
,
wil
so
long
straine
curtesie
,
that
either
he
wil
be
counted
a
solemne
sutor
,
or
a
witlesse
wooer
:
therefore
whatsoeuer
the
chaunce
be
,
I
wil
cast
at
all
.
Pharicles
hauing
thus
made
an
end
,
stood
in
a
mase
with
him selfe
,
not
that
it
did
proceede
from
any
sincere
affection
,
enforced
by
her
vertue
:
but
that
his
mind
was
set
vpon
lust
,
enflamed
by
her
bewtie
.
Which
disease
I
doubt
nowadayes
reignes
in
many
Italian
gentlemen
.
Whether
it
be
that
Mercurie
is
Lord
of
their
birth
,
or
some
other
peeuish
planet
predominant
in
the
calculation
of
their
natiuitie
,
I
know
not
:
but
this
I
am
sure
,
that
theyr
rype
wittes
are
so
soone
ouershadowed
with
vice
,
and
their
senses
so
blinded
with
self
loue
,
that
they
make
their
choyce
so
farre
without
skill
,
as
they
proue
them selues
but
euill
chapmen
:
for
if
she
be
faire
,
they
thinke
her
faithfull
:
if
her
bodye
be
endued
with
bewtie
,
they
iudge
she
cannot
but
be
vertuous
.
They
are
so
bli●ded
with
the
visor
of
Venus
and
conceite
of
Cupid
,
as
they
think
all
birdes
with
white
fethers
to
be
simple
Doues
:
euery
seemely
Sappho
,
to
be
a
ciuill
Salona
:
euery
Lais
,
to
bee
a
loyall
Lucrece
:
euery
chatting
mayden
to
be
a
chast
matrone
.
These
are
such
as
chose
for
lust
,
and
not
for
loue
;
as
marry
the
bodye
,
and
not
the
mind
:
so
that
as
soone
as
the
beautie
of
their
Mistres
be
vaded
,
their
loue
is
also
quight
extinguished
.
But
againe
to
the
purpose
.
As
thus
,
I
say
,
Pharicles
had
well
eased
his
minde
with
this
last
meditation
,
because
his
loue
was
but
a
lose
kind
of
likinge
,
and
the
fire
of
his
fancie
such
a
flender
flame
,
as
the
least
mislyking
showre
of
shrewd
fortune
would
quite
quench
it
:
therfore
he
had
neither
care
of
his
choyce
,
nor
feare
of
his
chaunge
:
but
onely
fed
his
fancy
with
the
hope
of
hauing
Mamillia
:
and
rested
vpon
this
poynt
,
till
eyther
occasion
or
place
should
serue
to
offer
his
seruice
.
In
the
meane
time
Gonzaga
perceiuing
his
daughter
to
be
mariageable
,
knowing
by
skill
and
experience
,
that
the
grasse
being
ready
for
the
sieth
,
would
wither
if
it
were
not
cut
;
and
the
apples
beeing
rype
,
for
want
of
plucking
woulde
rotte
on
the
tree
;
that
his
daughter
beeing
at
the
age
of
twentie
yeeres
,
would
either
fall
into
the
greene
sicknes
for
want
of
a
husband
,
or
els
if
she
scaped
that
disease
,
incurre
a
farther
inconuenience
:
so
that
lyke
a
wise
father
he
thought
to
foresee
such
daungers
.
And
deuisinge
with
himselfe
where
hee
might
haue
a
meete
match
for
his
Daughter
,
thought
none
so
fit
as
Pharicles
,
who
I
say
by
his
crafty
cloaking
,
had
wonne
the
hearts
of
al
the
Gentlemen
of
Padua
.
Therefore
first
intending
to
knowe
whether
his
Daughter
could
fancy
the
Gentleman
,
before
hee
should
breake
the
matter
vnto
him
,
&
yet
if
he
doubting
he
should
moue
the
question
,
she
might
conceiue
some
hope
of
libertie
,
and
so
strayne
vpon
her
owne
choyce
,
went
vnto
Madam
Castilla
her
nourse
,
desiring
her
to
moue
the
motion
to
his
daughter
,
as
concerning
Pharicles
,
&
that
the
next
day
she
should
tell
him
his
aunswere
.
Madam
Castilla
easily
graunted
:
and
departing
from
Gonzaga
,
went
vnto
the
chamber
of
Mamillia
,
where
she
found
her
solemnly
sitting
in
secrete
meditation
,
vpon
the
contents
of
a
Letter
,
which
not
half
an
houre
before
was
sent
vnto
her
from
her
old
friend
Florion
,
the
tenure
whereof
was
this
.
Dan
Florion
of
Sienna
,
to
Mamillia
in
Padua
.
MIstresse
Mamillia
,
the
extreame
pleasure
I
conceiue
of
your
sodaine
and
certaine
departure
from
the
Dukes
court
vnto
Padua
,
forced
me
to
send
you
this
letter
,
as
a
perfect
token
of
my
ioy
,
and
your
good
happe
,
both
thinking
my selfe
in
some
credit
with
you
,
that
my
perswasions
preuailed
:
and
likewise
iudging
you
to
bee
wise
,
in
that
you
both
auoyd
daunger
,
and
prouide
for
a
storme
:
for
it
is
a
great
vertue
,
saieth
the
Poet
,
to
abstaine
from
pleasure
.
The
courtly
life
,
saith
Agrippa
,
is
a
glistering
miserie
:
for
what
more
pleasaunt
outwardly
,
and
what
more
perilous
inwardly
?
what
more
delightful
to
the
body
?
what
more
deadly
to
the
minde
?
there
is
the
substance
of
vice
,
with
the
vaile
of
vertue
,
there
is
bondage
in
the
shape
of
licencious
libertie
,
and
care
clad
in
a
masking
coat
.
Happy
,
yea
thrise
happy
art
thou
Mamillia
,
whose
wisdome
hath
not
bin
inueigled
by
wit
,
nor
whose
wil
hath
not
bin
enforced
by
wilfulnes
:
for
in
obeying
the
one
,
thou
hast
scaped
danger
,
&
in
resisting
of
the
other
,
thou
hast
won
same
.
Yea
,
but
the
gold
,
saith
some
,
is
tried
in
the
fire
,
and
the
ore
is
put
into
the
furnace
.
It
is
more
honour
to
keepe
the
forte
being
assayled
,
then
not
besieged
:
so
the
credit
of
a
Gentlewoman
is
more
,
to
be
honest
in
the
court
,
then
in
the
countrey
,
and
it
purchaseth
more
fame
to
kneele
with
a
chast
minde
at
the
shrine
of
Venus
,
then
at
the
altar
of
Vesta
.
Mamillia
,
so
many
heades
,
so
many
wits
.
I
speake
by
experience
.
The
house
is
more
in
danger
of
fire
that
is
thatched
with
straw
,
then
the
which
is
couered
with
stone
:
he
is
more
in
danger
of
drowning
,
that
sayles
in
the
Sea
,
then
he
which
rides
on
the
land
.
What
maketh
the
theef
,
but
his
pray
?
what
entiseth
the
fish
,
but
the
baite
?
what
calleth
the
byrde
,
but
the
scrappe
?
what
reclaimeth
the
hawke●
but
the
lure
?
The
court
.
Mamillia
,
is
the
whetston
of
lust
,
the
baite
of
vanity
,
the
call
of
Cupid
:
yea
the
vtter
enimy
to
virginity
:
so
that
in
as
much
as
virginity
is
to
be
esteemed
,
so
much
the
Dukes
court
is
to
be
eschewed
.
But
I
heare
thou
art
at
home
with
thy
father
in
Padua
,
&
that
there
is
great
resort
of
Gentlemen
to
craue
thee
in
marriage
:
take
counsel
,
Mamillia
,
at
him
which
hath
bought
it
.
If
thou
hast
taken
care
to
keepe
thy
virginity
inuiolable
,
as
thy
greatest
treasure
:
so
take
both
heede
and
time
in
bestowing
the
same
as
a
most
precious
Iewel
.
Respect
not
his
beauty
,
without
vertue
:
for
it
is
like
a
ring
in
a
swynes
snoute
:
esteeme
not
his
wealth
without
wit
,
nor
his
riches
without
reason
;
for
then
thou
shalt
either
choose
a
fayre
Inne
with
a
foule
hostesse
;
or
wed
thy self
to
a
woodden
picture
with
a
golden
coate
.
Regarde
not
his
byrth
,
without
bountie
:
for
it
wil
euer
procure
statelinesse
.
Beware
of
hot
loue
,
Mamillia
,
for
the
greatest
flowe
hath
the
soonest
ebbe
:
the
sorest
tempest
hath
the
most
sodaine
calme
:
the
hottest
loue
hath
the
coldest
end
:
and
of
the
deepest
desire
oftentimes
ensueth
the
deadliest
hate
.
But
why
doe
I
deale
so
doultishly
to
exhort
thee
,
which
hast
no
neede
of
such
perswasion
,
&
sith
I
both
haue
heard
,
&
I
my selfe
know
thy
mynde
so
grafted
in
vertue
,
that
thou
wilt
neither
like
so
lightly
,
nor
wauer
so
lewdly
:
but
either
make
thy
match
wel
,
or
els
stand
to
thy
choyce
?
For
she
that
wil
falsifie
her
faith
to
one
,
will
crack
her
credit
for
al.
Therfore
least
I
should
be
tedious
,
or
vrge
that
which
is
not
needfull
,
I
referre
the
rest
to
your
discretion
,
desiring
you
to
do
my
commendations
to
the
rest
of
my
friendes
.
And
so
farewell
.
Yours
in
a
chast
mynd
,
Dan
Florion
.
AFter
that
Mamillia
had
read
this
Letter
to
Madame
Castilla
,
they
fel
in
discourse
of
the
vertu●us
disposition
of
Florion
,
who
beeing
of
tender
yeeres
,
which
are
subiect
vnto
lust
;
was
euer
a
professed
enimie
to
Loue
:
yea
the
painted
face
of
Beauty
coulde
neuer
haue
power
to
enchant
his
vertue
,
he
had
already
wel
tyed
himselfe
to
the
mast
of
modesty
,
to
keepe
him
from
the
Sirens
songs
of
beastly
vanity
,
and
had
sufficiently
defensed
his
minde
with
the
rampyre
of
honesty
,
against
the
laseiuious
cuppe
of
Circes
sorcerie
;
that
as
other
Gentlemen
of
Italy
had
sworne
themselues
true
subiects
to
the
crowne
of
Cupid
:
so
hee
had
vowed
himselfe
a
professed
souldier
,
to
march
vnder
the
ensigne
of
Uertue
.
These
few
words
past
betweene
them
,
of
the
good
and
godlie
nature
of
the
Gentleman
:
Madame
Castilla
,
as
the
Mistresse
of
her
arte
,
beganne
to
take
occasion
of
talke
with
Mamillia
,
by
the
con●ents
of
Florions
behest
:
if
she
should
haue
abruptly
sifted
her
,
her
deuise
shold
be
spied
:
&
so
perchance
not
haue

Mistresse
Mamillia
,
the

of
your

Florions
Letter
shewes

that
eyther
the

the

of

the

of
the
destinies

or
force
of
the

were
contrary
in
the
houre
of
his
byrth
,
or
els
it
is
not
alwayes
true
,
that
youth
is
prone
vnto
vice
;
or
that
tender
yeeres
cannot
be
without
wanton
conditions
:
for
there
is
none
more
witty
,
and
yet
few
lesse
wilfull
:
none
so
curteous
,
yet
few
lesse
curious
:
as
his
nature
seemes
very
precious
,
and
yet
very
perillous
:
euen
like
the
patient
,
which
by
ouer
much
blood
falleth
into
the
Plurisie
:
the
glasse
,
the
more

it

the
more
brittle
:
the
〈…〉

though

the

wil

the
Margaret
is
of
great
valure
,
yet
soonest
broken
:
the
Muske
is
most
strong
in
sauour
,
yet
endureth
but
a
smal

so
the
nature
of
Florion
by
how
much
the
more
it
is
precious
,
by
so
much
the
more
it
is
to
be
doubted
:
and
yet
the

that

are
of

that

Flo●ion
hauing

may
end

in

But
what
neede
we

〈…〉
is
as

we

you
may

that

that

which
an●
not

in

your

I

I
am

Mamillia
,
my
gray
haires
,
which
in
respect
of
my
reuerend
age
should
somewhat
preuaile
to
procure
some
countenan e
and
credit
with
you
,
my
long
continuance
and
familiarity
in
your
company
,
my
paynes
I
tooke
with
you
in
your
swadling
clothes
,
my
care
in
your
youth
to
nourishe
you
in
vertue
,
and
my
ioy
in
your
rype
age
to
see
you
addicted
to
the
same

are
of
force
sufficient
,
I
hope
to
procure
you
to
be
somewhat
ruled
by
my
talke
:
which
if
you
shal
doe
,
I
shal
thinke
my
labour
wel
bestowed
,
and
my
time
and
trauell
well
spent

Florion
,
Mamillia
,
writeth
to
you
of
marriage
,
which
if
it
commeth
of
his
owne
coniecture
,
and
no
report
,
he
proueth
himselfe
a
subtill
sophister
,
meaning
vnder
the
colour
of
an
vncertaine
rumour
,
to
perswade
you
to
a
most
stayed
and
stedfast
state
of
life
,
as
one
knowing
very
well
,
that
as
nothing
is
more
commendable
then
virginitie
:
so
nothing
is
more
honourable
than
matrimonie
.
And
I
my selfe
,
Mamillia
,
which
once
a
wife
,
and
now
a
widdow
,
doe
speake
by
experience
,
that
though
virginitie
is
pleasant
,
yet
marriage
is
more
delightfull
.
For
in
the
first
creation
of
the
world
,
God
made
not
Adam
and
Eua
single
virgins
,
but
ioyned
couples
:
so
the
virginitie
is
profitable
to
one
,
but
marriage
is
profitable
to
many
.
Whether
is
the
vine
more
regarded
that
beareth
grapes
,
or
the
Ash
that
hath
nothing
but
leaues
?
The
Deere
that
encreaseth
the
park
,
or
the
barren
Doe
?
Whether
is
the
hoppe
tree
more
esteemed
,
that
rots
on
the
grounde
,
than
that
which
clasping
the
pole
,
creepeth
vp
,
&
bringeth
foorth
fruite
?
What
,
Mamillia
,
as
virginity
is
fayre
and
beautifull
:
so
what
by
course
of
kind
is
more
vnseemely
,
then
an
old
wrinckled
maide
?
what
is
more
pleasaunt
to
the
sight
,
then
a
Smaragde
,
yet
what
lesse
profitable
,
if
it
be
not
vsed
?
What
more
delightful
to
the
eyes
,
then
the
colour
of
good
wine
;
yet
what
of
lesse
value
if
it
cannot
be
tasted
?
There
is
nothing
more
faire
than
the
Phoenix
,
yet
nothing
lesse
necessary
,
because
she
is
single
.
Yea
,
euen
the
law
of
nature
,
Mamillia
,
wisheth
society
,
and
detesteth
solitarinesse
.
Whether
euen
in
thine
owne
iudgement
,
Mamillia
,
if
thou
hadst
a
goodly
orcharde
,
wouldest
thou
wish
nothing
but
blossomes
to
grow
continually
;
or
the
blossomes
to
fade
,
and
the
trees
to
be
fraught
with
pleasant
fruit
?
Whether
doest
thou
think
the
ruddy
Rose
,
which
withereth
in
the
hand
of
a
man
,
delighting
both
sight
and
smelling
,
more
happie
than
that
which
fadeth
on
the
stalke
without
profit
?
Whether
hath
the
wine
better
luck
which
is
drunken
,
than
that
which
standing
still
,
is
turned
to
vineger
?
And
yet
,
Mamillia
,
I
graunt
too
muche
:
for
a
womans
beauty
decayes
not
with
marriage
,
but
rather
commeth
then
to
the
flower
and
perfection
.
But
as
I
doe
perswade
thee
to
marriage
,
so
would
I
wish
thee
to
change
for
the
better
,
or
els
keepe
thy
chance
still
:
I
meane
,
I
would
haue
him
that
shoulde
match
with
thee
,
to
bee
suche
a
one
,
in
whose
society
thou
shouldest
not
count
mariage
a
bondage
,
but
a
freedom
;
not
a
knot
of
restraint
,
but
a
band
of
liberty
,
one
whom
thou
shouldest
like
for
his
beauty
,
and
loue
for
his
vertue
;
I
would
haue
him
to
want
no
wealth
,
and
yet
to
be
wise
,
and
with
his
wisedome
to
haue
all
kynde
of
ciuility
.
Now
,
Mamillia
,
as
I
haue
spoken
in
general
,
so
I
wil
touch
the
particular
.
I
meane
to
shew
thereof
one
,
which
I
woulde
wish
to
be
thy
husband
,
and
thee
to
be
his
wife
.
Pharicles
it
is
,
to
be
flat
with
thee
,
whose
beauty
&
honesty
hath
amased
all
Venice
,
whose
order
of
lyuing
may
be
,
and
hath
been
a
perfect
platforme
and
methode
of
ciuil
dealing
,
and
honest
behauiour
:
thee
,
Mamillia
,
I
wish
to
be
his
mate
for
his
curtesie
:
and
him
to
be
thy
match
but
in
constancie
.
The
Gemme
which
is
gallaunt
in
colour
,
and
perfect
in
vertue
,
is
the
more
pretious
;
than
hearbe
,
which
hath
a
faire
bark
,
and
a
sweete
sappe
,
is
the
more
to
bee
esteemed
;
the
Panther
with
his
paynted
skin
and
his
sweet
breath
is
the
more
delighted
:
so
Pharicles
faire
in
face
,
and
faithfull
in
his
heart
;
pleasant
in
his
countenance
,
and
perfect
in
his
mind
;
is
so
much
the
more
to
be
imbraced
.
If
the
Ore
,
Mamillia
,
which
is
drosse
outwardly
,
and
gold
inwardly
,
be
of
great
price
:
what
then
is
the
pure
mettal
?
if
the
rough
stone
with
a
secret
vertue
,
is
of
value
:
what
is
it
then
,
being
polished
?
If
a
smooth
&
learned
style
in
an
ill
print
,
importes
some
credit
:
what
doth
that
which
commeth
out
of
a
perfect
presse
?
so
Mamillia
,
if
a
man
which
is
deformed
in
body
,
and
reformed
in
minde
,
may
deserue
great
liking
:
what
deserues
he
,
which
is
both
bountifull
,
and
beautiful
?
If
a
crooked
carkasse
,
and
an
honest
nature
merite
commendation
:
what
doth
he
then
,
which
is
both
faire
&
faithful
?
If
a
disfigured
body
,
with
honest
conditions
,
wins
fauour
:
what
then
doth
a
comely
countenan e
,
with
a
curteous
mynd
?
Al
these
perfections
by
nature
,
Mamillia
,
are
incident
to
Pharicles
:
that
he
can
neyther
be
appeached
of
want
,
nor
condemned
of
lacke
,
neyther
his
person
nor
mind
in
any
wise
misliked
.
Now
Mamillia
,
conster
of
my
wordes
,
as
you
please
,
&
like
where
you
loue
,
so
that
I
may
neither
repent
my
talke
,
nor
you
curse
my
counsell
.
Mamillia
,
Gentlemen
,
was
driuen
into
such
a
maze
with
this
sodaine
motion
of
Madam
Castilla
,
that
she
stood
,
as
though
her
heart
had
bin
on
her
halfepenny
,
fearing
the
fetch
of
her
old
nurse
,
doubting
what
a
fleeue
she
shoulde
shape
for
the
coate
,
least
shee
should
be
ouertaken
in
misliking
so
lightly
:
or
(
though
not
very
chary
of
her
choyse
)
in
choosing
so
quickly
:
therefore
she
framed
her
answere
betweene
both
on
this
maner
.
MAdam
,
if
I
stand
in
a
mase
which
haue
the
harme
,
thinke
it
not
strange
,
sith
you
maruel
,
which
are
not
toucht
.
For
I
may
more
muse
of
the
rumour
which
know
it
contrary
:
than
you
,
which
doe
but
call
it
in
question
.
But
if
Florion
haue
heard
a
lye
,
and
you
beleeue
it
:
it
is
not
my
fault
,
but
your
lightnesse
of
credit
:
and
therefore
construe
of
it
how
you
can
:
for
I
am
at
a
good
poynt
.
Old
women
wil
quickly
conceiue
,
&
soone
beleeue
:
for
age
is
as
credulous
,
as
suspitious
;
the
dried
oake
wil
sooner
fire
,
than
the
greene
Ashe
;
&
olde
ragges
wil
sooner
burne
,
than
new
linnen
;
the
green
apple
is
hard
to
pearce
,
when
the
old
fruit
wil
quickly
bruse
:
so
age
though
they
be
slow
in
hearing
,
yet
they
are
swifter
in
beleeuing
then
youth
,
that
the
least
sparke
of
suspitiousnesse
,
wil
fire
their
whole
brayne
.
And
therefore
he
that
knoweth
their
fault
,
&
wil
not
beare
with
it
,
is
much
too
blame
.
Whereas
you
draw
your
perswasions
for
my
credite
,
of
your
talk
from
your
gray
haires
,
it
sheweth
surely
but
a
greene
wit
,
not
so
ful
of
grauity
,
as
either
your
age
or
yeeres
requires
:
For
then
your
reasons
would
haue
tended
to
ciuility
,
&
not
to
sensuality
,
to
vertue
,
&
not
to
vanity
.
Your
paines
you
tooke
with
me
in
my
swadling
cloathes
,
your
care
in
my
youth
to
nurse
me
in
vertue
,
and
your
ioy
in
my
ripe
yeeres
to
see
mee
addicted
to
the
same
,
shewes
by
the
end
that
your
care
was
but
slender
,
&
your
ioy
fained
.
The
Cowe
which
giueth
good
store
of
mylke
,
&
spilleth
it
with
her
foote
,
is
as
much
to
be
blamed
for
the
losse
,
as
to
be
commended
for
the
giftt
.
The
water
which
for
a
time
beareth
the
vessel
,
&
at
last
with
the
waues
ouerwhelmeth
the
same
,
doth
more
harme
in
drowning
the
Barke
,
then
good
in
bearing
it
.
The
hunter
which
trayneth
the
hounde
being
young
,
truely
to
cal
vpon
the
sente
,
is
much
too
blame
to
beate
him
from
it
being
olde
:
so
you
Madam
,
are
more
to
be
blamed
for
perswading
me
to
matrimonie
,
than
you
were
before
to
be
commended
,
for
exhorting
me
to
virginity
:
for
in
my
tender
age
my
infancie
was
not
able
to
receiue
your
counsell
,
and
then
you
tolde
me
howe
greatly
I
ought
to
esteeme
virginity
:
and
nowe
in
my
rype
yeeres
,
when
I
can
conceiue
your
meaning
,
you
wish
me
vtterly
to
forsake
it
:
either
then
sure
you
were
in
a
wrong
opinion
,
or
els
nowe
in
an
errour
,
but
howsoeuer
it
was
,
my
mind
is
setled
.
Uirginity
you
say
is
delightful
,
yet
matrimony
more
pleasant
:
Virginity
you
put
in
the
positiue
,
but
matrimonie
in
the
superlatiue
.
Well
,
I
pray
God
you
make
not
marriage
so
farre
to
exceed
in
comparison
,
that
at
last
it
growe
to
an
extremitie
.
But
as
your
age
is
much
giuen
to
the
shaking
palsey
:
so
I
thinke
your
argumentes
haue
a
spice
of
the
same
disease
:
for
their
foundation
is
but
fickle
,
&
therfore
the
lesse
worth
to
be
taken
at
the
hardest
.
The
tal
Cedar
that
beareth
only
bare
blossoms
,
is
of
more
value
then
the
apple
tree
that
is
laden
with
fruite
:
the
keeper
(
for
all
your
saying
)
makes
more
account
of
a
barren
Doe
,
than
of
a
bearing
hynde
.
Diana
shal
obtaine
more
same
for
her
chastity
in
the
hunting
of
the
woods
,
than
Venus
for
her
lasciuious
honestye
in
playing
with
Mars
in
her
bed
.
Uirginity
shal
be
esteemed
as
a
rare
&
precious
iewel
,
when
marriage
shal
be
counted
but
a
custome
.
The
baytree
growing
single
by
it self
,
flourisheth
greene
;
whereas
being
clasped
with
the
yuie
,
it
withereth
:
the
gold
of
it self
hath
a
gallant
hue
,
but
being
touched
,
it
changeth
colour
:
the
Saphyre
stone
clasped
in
mettal
,
looseth
his
vertue
:
so
a
virgin
being
once
married
,
withereth
straight
,
changeth
colour
,
and
looseth
her
chiefest
treasure
.
And
though
you
say
by
course
of
kind
that
nothing
is
more
vnseemely
then
an
olde
wrinckled
mayde
:
yet
experience
teacheth
vs
,
that
nothing
is
more
vnlikely
than
an
olde
withered
wife
.
The
Rose
dying
on
the
stalke
,
seemeth
in
better
state
then
that
which
fadeth
,
being
pluckt
:
the
grasse
looketh
better
being
vncut
,
then
that
which
withereth
with
the
sieth
:
for
the
one
fadeth
by
course
of
nature
;
and
the
other
by
kinde
of
imperfection
.
The
Phenix
being
seldome
seene
,
the
more
desired
;
the
rarer
the
Gemme
is
,
the
more
esteemed
.
The
stones
of
Arabia
because
they
be
straunge
,
are
of
greatest
price
:
so
virginitie
,
by
so
much
the
more
is
to
be
regarded
,
by
how
much
it
is
more
rare
then
mariage
:
for
the
one
commeth
by
speciall
grace
,
and
the
other
by
common
course
.
Uirginitie
among
the
Romanes
was
had
in
such
admiration
and
estimation
,
that
if
by
chaunce
the
Uestal
virgins
walked
abroad
,
the
Senators
would
giue
them
the
vpper
hand
,
and
all
the
officers
shew
them
due
reuerence
.
Cybil
the
mother
of
the
Gods
,
was
a
virgin

and

was
famous
for

thinges
;
strength
,
wisdome
,
and
virginitie
.

at
Delphos
,
was
a
virgin
,
being
alwayes
called
Pythia
.
Uirginitie
alters
the
nature
of
wilde
beastes
:
for
the
Lyons
neuer
hurt
a
pure
Uirgin
:
and
Pliny
reporteth
that
the
Unicorne
will
sleepe
on
a
virgins
lappe
.
Therefore
Madame
,
your
argumentes
rather
importe
rule
,
than
reason
;
and
seemes
to
come
from
a
greene
witte
,
not
from
a
gray
head
:
but
though
the
fowle
haue
fayre
feathers
,
he
may
haue
rancke
flesh
;
the
fish
may
haue
glistering
skales
without
,
and
yet
be
rotten
within
:
so
your
outwarde
shew
of
grauitie
,
may
inwardly
be
addicted
to
vanitie
,
and
old
folke
are
twise
children
:
and
perhappes
though
your
face
bee
wrinckeled
,
your
minde
is
youthfull
;
though
your
yeeres
and
calling
argue
chastitie
,
yet
you
had
as
leefe
haue
husbande
,
as
wishe
mee
marryed
:
and
I
promise
you
for
my
parte
,
I
had
rather
you
shoulde
eate
of
the
meate
,
then
I
taste
of
the
sauce
:
if
it
be
not
a
knot
of
bondage
,
but
a
band
of
libertie
,
I
would
haue
you
once
againe
try
that
freedome
.
But
sure
eyther
you
know
more
then
all
,
or
els
say
more
then
you
know
:
for
not
onely
the
common
people
,
but
also
the
most
learned
hath
thought
maryage
to
be
such
a
restraint
of
libertie
,
as
it
feeleth
no
sparke
of
freedome
:
for
both
the
body
is
giuen
as
a
slaue
vnto
the
will
of
an
other
man
,
and
the
minde
is
subiecte
to
sorow
and
bound
in
the
caue
of
care
:
so
that
euen
the
name
of
a
wife
importes
a
thousand
troubles
.
If
you
call
this
libertie
,
I
know
not
what
bondage
is
.
Who
so
is
addicted
to
maryage
,
findeth
it
easie
but
in
one
respect
,
and
that
is
,
if
she
chaunce
on
a
good
husband
,
which
indeede
you
brauely
set
out
in
his
colours
.
But
so
did
Aristotle
his
happy
man
;
Tully
,
his
Orator
,
Plato
his
common
Wealth
,
and
in
our
countreye
heere
,
one
of
my
kinsmen
sets
out
the
liuely
Image
of
a
Courtier
.
But
as
these
spoke
of
such
,
but
could
neuer
finde
them
:
so
you
haue
described
such
a
husband
,
as
can
neuer
be
heard
of
.
Yet
,
Madame
,
you
go
further
:
for
the
others
spoke
in
generall
,
and
you
for
the
better
confirmation
of
your
reason
,
inferre
a
particular
,
and
that
is
Pharicles
,
whom
indeed
I
confesse
to
haue
in
outward
shew
,
as
good
qualities
as
any
in
all
Italy
.
But
the
hearbe
,
though
it
haue
a
fayre
hue
,
and
a
sweete
sappe
,
yet
being
tasted
,
it
may
be
infectious
.
The
Panther
with
his
paynted
skinne
and
sweete
breath
,
hath
a
tyrannous
heart
:
so
Pharicles
may
bee
as
foule
within
,
as
faire
without
;
and
if
he
be
not
,
he
digresseth
from
his
kind
:
for
these
Gentlewomen
which
haue
trusted
to
the
beautie
of
the
face
,
haue
beene
deceiued
with
the
deformitie
of
the
mind
.
Theseus
,
Demophoon
,
Aeneas
,
Iason
,
and
Hercules
,
were
both
famous
for
their
feature
and
fortitude
,
and
renoumed
for
their
inuincible
valure
,
and
yet
they
wanne
not
so
much
fame
for
their
prowes
in
warre
,
as
shame
for
their
inconstancy
in
loue
:
he
that
chooseth
an
apple
by
the
skinne
,
and
a
man
by
his
face
,
may
be
deceiued
in
the
one
,
and
ouershot
in
the
other
.
Therefore
Madame
,
sith
both
mariage
is
troublesome
,
and
the
choyce
so
doubtfull
,
I
meane
not
to
proue
the
care
,
nor
try
the
chance
,
but
remaine
a
virgin
still
.
Yet
thus
much
to
your
question
,
if
my
minde
should
change
to
try
such
happe
,
I
would
welcome
Pharicles
,
as
well
as
any
other
.
Madame
Castilla
hearing
this
ouerthwartnes
of
Mamillia
,
was
driuen
into
a
great
mase
,
to
see
the
Gentlewoman
so
hoat
with
her
:
in
so
much
the
as
old
women
are
soone
angry
,
she
tooke
pepper
in
the
nose
at
the
sharpe
reply
,
and
therefore
framed
her
as
quicke
an
answere
.
MAmillia
,
quoth
she
,
if
the
Phisitions
rubbe
the
soare
,
the
patient
must
needes
sturre
;
touch
a
galled
horse
,
and
he
will
winch
:
so
your
hotte
answere
shewes
my
question
toucht
you
in
the
quicke
;
and
that
though
you
make
so
straunge
with
maryage
,
yet
if
your
choyce
were
in
your
owne
handes
,
you
woulde
giue
a
finall
farewell
to
virginitie
.
But
the
Fox
will
eate
no
grapes
:
and
you
will
not
marry
,
because
you
may
,
or
perhappes
do
loue
,
where
your
friendes
wil
not
like
,
and
your
wish
should
be
contrary
to
their
will
.
Sirichia
the
Daughter
of
Smald
king
of
the
Danes
,
could
not
be
perswaded
by
her
father
to
forsake
her
virginitie
,
but
the
third
day
after
his
death
,
she
was
betroathed
but
to
a
meane
Squire
:
Manlia
Daughter
of
Mauritius
was
so
scrupulous
of
her
virginitie
,
that
she
altogether
abandoned
the
company
of
wiues
and
widdowes
,
and
yet
at
length
she
tooke
an
husband
,
and
was
so
kinde
harted
,
that
she
woulde
not
sticke
to
sell
large
peniworths
of
her
honestie
.
Mamillia
,
I
will
not
make
comparisons
,
because
they
be
odious
,
nor
infer
any
conclusions
,
for
feare
of
farther
daunger
.
But
take
this
by
the
way
,
that
he
which
couers
a
small
sparke
in
the
ashes
,
will
procure
a
great
flame
.
And
with
this
she
departed
,
as
halfe
angry
,
leauing
Mamillia
very
sorowfull
that
she
had
displeased
her
old
nource
,
and
very
carefull
for
the
yssue
of
her
new
loue
:
yet
,
as
much
as
she
could
dissembling
the
matter
,
she
past
away
the
day
in
mery
company
.
But
all
this
while
Pharicles
had
a
flea
in
his
eare
,
and
a
thorne
in
his
foote
,
which
procured
him
little
rest
.
For
as
the
wounded
Deare
stayes
in
no
place
:
so
the
passionat
louer
staies
but
without
stedfastnes
,
neuer
hauing
a
quiet
minde
:
for
if
hee
sayle
,
Loue
is
his
Pylot
:
if
he
walke
,
Loue
is
his
companion
:
if
he
sleepe
,
Loue
is
his
pillow
:
so
that
alwayes
he
hath
the
spur
in
his
side
,
to
procure
his
disquiet
,
hauing
no
salue
for
his
soare
,
vnlesse
he
reap
remedy
at
the
hands
of
his
aduersary
,
which
Pharicles
tryed
true
.
For
there
passed
no
houre
after
his
departure
from
Mamillia
,
in
which
a
thousand
cares
did
not
clogge
his
combred
minde
:
for
the
thought
of
her
sharpe
answere
was
hard
to
disgest
in
his
crased
stomacke
:
then
that
her
father
and
he
was
of
no
great
acquaintaunce
,
which
was
a
cause
of
his
long
absence
.
Howe
if
fortune
so
fauoured
,
that
he
gayned
her
good-will
?
yet
hee
lost
his
owne
freedome
,
and
that
was
but
a
signe
of
an
yll
chapmanne
:
Howe
oftentimes
they
,
which
sued
to
marrye
in
haste
,
did
finde
sufficient
time
to
repent
them
at
leasure
?
And
surely
Gentlemen
,
if
Pharicles
had
rested
on
this
point
,
in
my
iudgement
he
had
hit
the
marke
:
for
there
is
no
such
hinderaunce
to
a
man
,
as
a
wife
:
if
respecting
warre
,
Darius
and
Methridates
are
witnesses
:
of
learning
and
Philosophy
,
Socrates
comes
in
as
plaintife
:
so
in
my
opinion
,
if
men
would
neuer
marry
,
they
should
neuer
be
marred
:
and
if
they
would
neuer
haue
a
wife
,
they
should
alwayes
want
strife
:
for
she
is
that
burden
that
Christ
onely
refused
to
take
from
mens
shoulders
:
yea
some
haue
called
a
wife
,
a
heauy
Crosse
,
as
a
mery
iesting
Gentleman
of
Venice
did
:
who
hearing
the
preacher
command
euery
man
to
take
vp
his
Crosse
,
and
follow
him
hastily
,
tooke
his
wife
on
his
shoulders
,
&
said
he
was
ready
with
the
formost
:
but
least
in
talking
of
crosses
,
I
be
crost
for
a
foole
in
going
beyonde
my
commission
,
againe
to
Pharicles
:
who
though
perhappes
hee
read
these
,
or
suche
like
examples
,
yet
his
hot
loue
warmed
his
affection
:
so
whatsoeuer
he
mused
in
his
minde
,
it
would
not
abate
his
deuotion
,
but
still
sought
sundry
meanes
to
breake
to
his
Saynt
:
and
yet
the
farder
he
went
,
the
more
hee
was
from
his
purpose
,
that
he
had
past
the
Caue
of
care
,
ready
to
enter
into
the
dungeon
of
despayre
,
if
fortune
had
not
fauoured
his
chaunce
.
For
flinging
out
of
his
studie
,
to
auoyde
this
melancholy
,
hee
went
to
take
ayre
in
the
fieldes
,
where
,
by
good
happe
,
hee
espyed
his
Mystresse
walking
with
her
nurce
to
a
graynge
place
,
amyldes
distance
from
Padua
,
to
beare
certaine
Gentlewomen
company
,
which
resorted
thither
to
visit
a
sicke
patient
,
at
which
place
was
also
Signior
Gonsaga
,
with
other
Gentlemen
.
Now
if
Pharicles
was
dryuen
into
an
extasie
,
with
the
extreame
pleasure
he
conceiued
by
the
sodayne
sight
of
his
Goddesse
,
it
is
no
metuaile
,
sith
her
absence
was
the
hazarde
of
his
life
,
and
her
presence
his
onely
pleasure
:
and
I
think
,
if
I
may
enter
into
a
womans
thought
,
without
offence
,
Mamillia
would
not
haue
wished
a
fitter
companyon
to
shorten
her
iourney
:
yet
she
passed
on
without
any
semblance
of
his
sight
:
whereas
feare
and
necessitie
had
a
deadly
combate
in
the
minde
of
Pharicles
,
he
doubted
if
he
should
be
ouer
bold
,
he
might
spill
his
pottage
.
But
the
law
of
necessitie
,
saith
Plato
,
is
so
hard
,
that
the
Gods
them selues
are
not
able
to
resist
it
.
For
as
the
water
,
by
nature
cold
,
is
made
hotte
by
the
force
of
the
fire
:
and
the
straight
tree
pressed
downe
,
growes
alwayes
crooked
:
so
nature
is
subiect
to
necessitie
,
that
kind
cannot
haue
his
course
.
The
litle
Mouse
,
by
nature
fearefull
,
in
daunger
is
desperate
:
the
Boore
in
safetie
is
timorous
,
in
perril
without
feare
:
the
Coward
in
peace
dreadeth
the
sight
of
the
weapon
,
whereas
being
vrged
by
necessitie
,
hee
passeth
the
pikes
.
Ormaus
the
Sonne
of
kinge
Cirus
,
by
nature
was
borne
dumbe
,
yet
when
the
Citie
Suzes
was
taken
,
seeing
a
souldier
ready
to
kill
his
owne
Father
,
cryed
out
,
villayne
,
saue
the
crowne
:
so
that
necessitie
in
him
supplyed
a
want
of
nature
.
And
if
there
bee
any
thing
,
which
is
more
forcible
then
necessitie
,
it
is
the
lawe
of
Loue
,
which
so
incensed
Pharicles
,
that
casting
all
feare
aside
,
hee
offred
him selfe
to
his
Mistres
,
with
this
courteous
parle
.
GEntlewoman
,
if
I
boldly
offer
my selfe
,
as
a
Copartner
of
your
voyage
,
which
am
a
companyon
farre
vnfitte
for
such
a
company
,
pardon
my
fault
,
sith
it
commeth
of
force
,
and
condemne
not
my
nature
of
want
of
nurture
;
but
let
your
bewtie
beare
the
blame
,
as
the
spurre
of
my
rash
enterprise
:
For
the
Adamant
drawes
by
vertue
,
though
Iron
striue
by
nature
:
wher
force
is
:
there
the
fault
is
forgiuen
.
But
if
in
any
wise
my
seruice
might
pleasure
you
,
or
rather
not
offend
you
,
I
would
proffer
it
,
if
I
knew
it
would
be
but
halfe
so
well
accepted
,
as
hartily
offred
:
but
perhaps
it
wil
not
be
worth
the
wearing
,
beecause
proffered
chaffer
stinckes
.
Madame
Castilla
hearing
the
curtesie
of
the
Gentlemanne
,
and
perceiuing
what
Sainte
hee
serued
,
to
encourage
him
the
more
,
gaue
him
this
gentle
answere
,
fit
for
his
friendly
offer
.
GEntleman
,
quoth
she
,
we
neither
can
thinke
ill
of
your
nurture
,
nor
yet
mislike
your
nature
,
sith
the
one
argues
curtesie
,
and
the
other
smal
curiositye
;
vnlesse
it
bee
in
making
your
arriuall
so
strange
,
&
accusing
your
conscience
as
guilty
,
which
no
man
finds
fault
with
:
for
my
part
,
Sir
,
&
I
think
I
may
speak
for
Mamillia
,
you
are
not
so
soone
come
,
as
welcome
,
nor
your
seruice
is
not
more
heartily
offered
,
then
willingly
accepted
:
&
therefore
,
if
you
be
content
with
your
happe
,
wee
are
very
well
pleased
with
the
chaunce
.
And
with
that
she
fel
in
talke
with
the
rest
of
the
company
,
to
the
ende
Pharicles
might
vse
some
speaches
to
Mamillia
:
who
now
seeing
the
coast
cleere
,
and
time
and
place
fitte
for
the
purpose
,
gaue
her
the
onset
in
this
manner
.
MIstres
Mamillia
,
it
hath
byn
a
saying
more
common
then
true
,
that
loue
makes
al
men
Orators
,
yet
I
my selfe
finde
it
contrary
by
experience
,
insomuch
that
I
thinke
the
perfect
louer
wants
not
onely
Eloquence
,
but
hath
a
restraint
of
his
nature
.
The
water
pot
being
filled
to
the
brim
,
yeeldes
no
licour
,
though
hauing
a
hundred
holes
.
The
wine
vessel
beyng
ful
,
let
s
passe
no
wine
,
though
neuer
so
wel
vented
.
The
colour
ioyned
hard
to
the
sight
,
hindreth
the
sense
.
The
flower
put
into
the
nose-thril
,
stoppeth
the
smelling
.
The
louer
in
the
presence
of
his
Lady
,
at
the
first
is
eyther
driuen
into
an
extasie
for
ioy
,
or
els
into
a
quaking
traunce
for
feare
:
so
that
,
when
he
should
plead
his
cause
,
his
wits
are
either
bewitched
,
or
els
not
at
home
:
&
if
it
happen
his
tongue
be
not
tied
,
in
many
words
lies
mistrust
;
and
in
paynted
speech
,
deceit
is
most
often
couered
,
&
specially
,
where
either
acquaintance
or
long
continuance
hath
bred
no
credit
.
Therfore
I
Mistres
Mamillia
,
whose
acquaintance
with
you
is
smal
,
&
credit
lesse
,
dare
vse
no
circumstance
,
for
feare
of
mistrust
,
neither
can
I
tel
in
what
respect
to
bring
a
sufficient
triall
,
or
proofe
of
my
goodwil
:
but
only
that
I
wish
the
end
of
my
loue
to
be
suche
,
as
my
faith
and
loyalty
,
is
at
this
present
,
whiche
I
hope
tract
of
time
shal
try
without
spot
.
In
the
meane
time
requesting
you
to
thinke
that
the
force
of
loue
hath
constrayned
me
to
yeeld
as
a
slaue
,
readye
at
beauties
command
to
hazard
my
life
for
your
pleasure
:
I
must
needs
confes
that
the
gifts
of
Nature
so
abundantly
bestowed
vpon
you
,
haue
so
bewitched
my
senses
,
that
for
my
last
refuge
,
I
am
forced
to
appeale
vnto
your
curtesie
,
as
a
soueraigne
medicine
for
my
incurable
disease
:
incurable
I
may
tearme
it
,
vnles
the
drops
of
your
fauour
quench
the
flame
,
or
els
death
with
his
deadly
dart
decide
the
cause
.
But
I
hope
it
is
vnpossible
,
that
such
a
crystal
breast
should
lodge
an
hart
of
Adamant
:
that
such
a
sugred
face
should
haue
a
bitter
minde
:
that
your
diuine
beauty
should
bee
ouergrowne
with
hellish
cruelty
,
to
torment
them
,
who
for
your
loue
sustaynes
a
thousand
miseries
.
Miserie
I
may
wel
cal
it
:
for
as
there
is
nothing
more
pleasant
then
beauty
:
so
nothing
is
more
yrksome
than
bondage
,
&
yet
my
restraunt
of
liberty
is
so
much
the
more
acceptable
,
by
how
much
the
more
it
is
desired
.
For
although
the
flye
willingly
fries
in
the
flame
,
yet
she
is
blameles
:
although
the
Hermine
loues
her
mortall
enemy
,
yet
is
she
not
faultie
,
sith
the
one
comes
of
affection
,
and
the
other
by
course
of
nature
.
Ah
Mamillia
,
thy
beauty
hath
bought
my
freedom
,
&
thy
heauenvly
face
hath
made
me
captiue
,
y●
as
he
which
is
hurt
of
the
Scorpion
,
seeketh
a
salue
from
whence
he
receiued
the
sore
:
so
you
only
may
minister
y●
medicine
,
which
procures
the
disease
.
The
burning
feuer
is
driuen
out
with
a
hot
potion
,
and
the
shaking
palsey
with
a
colde
drinke
.
Loue
onely
is
remedied
by
loue
,
and
fancy
muste
be
cured
by
mutuall
affection
.
Therfore
Mamillia
,
I
speake
with
teares
out
wardly
,
&
with
drops
of
blood
inwardly
,
that
vnles
the
misling
showres
of
your
mercie
,
mittigate
the
fire
of
my
fancy
,
&
giue
a
soueraigne
plaister
for
my
secret
sore
,
I
am
like
to
passe
my
life
in
greater
miserie
,
then
if
I
had
tasted
the
infernall
torments
:
for
Sophocles
being
demanded
,
what
harme
hee
woulde
wish
to
his
enemy
,
answered
,
that
he
might
loue
where
he
was
not
liked
,
&
that
such
misfortune
might
haue
long
lasting
.
But
perhaps
you
wil
say
,
Mamillia
,
that
the
beasts
which
gase
at
the
Panther
,
are
guilty
of
their
own
death
;
that
the
Mouse
taken
in
the
trap
,
deserueth
her
chaunce
;
that
a
louer
,
which
hath
freewill
,
deserueth
no
pitie
,
if
he
make
not
his
choyce
right
.
Ah
Mamillia
,
can
the
strawresist
the
vertue
of
the
pure
Iet
?
can
flaxe
resist
the
force
of
the
fire
?
can
a
Louer
withstand
the
brunt
of
bewtie
?
or
freese
,
if
he
stand
by
the
flame
,
or
peruert
the
lawes
of
nature
?
weigh
al
things
in
the
balance
of
equitie
,
and
then
I
doubt
not
but
to
haue
a
iust
iudgement
.
But
this
I
assure
my selfe
,
if
you
knew
the
strength
of
my
loue
,
or
the
force
of
my
loyaltie
,
though
my
person
and
byrth
be
farre
vnfit
for
such
a
mate
,
yet
you
would
deeme
my
loue
to
deserue
no
lesse
:
for
Leander
to
his
Hero
,
or
Piramus
to
his
Thesbe
was
neuer
more
fathfull
,
then
Pharicles
will
try
himself
to
Mamillia
:
that
although
small
acquaintance
breedes
mistrust
,
and
mistrust
hinders
loue
:
yet
tract
of
time
shall
inferre
such
a
tryall
,
as
trust
shal
kindle
affection
.
And
therefore
I
hope
that
your
noble
heart
wil
not
put
a
doubt
till
occasion
be
offered
,
nor
cal
his
credit
in
question
,
whom
neither
you
haue
found
nor
heard
to
be
halting
.
What
though
the
Serpentine
powder
is
quickly
kindled
,
and
quickly
out
?
yet
the
Salamander
stone
,
once
set
on
fire
,
can
neuer
be
quenched
:
As
the
sappy
Myrtle
tree
wil
quickly
rotte
:
so
the
hard
Oake
will
neuer
be
eaten
with
wormes
:
Though
the
free
stone
is
apt
for
euery
impression
:
yet
the
Emerauld
will
sooner
breake
,
then
receiue
any
new
forme
:
Though
the
Polipe
chaungeth
colour
euery
houre
:
yet
the
Saphyre
will
cracke
before
it
consent
to
disloyaltie
.
As
all
things
are
not
made
of
one
mould
:
so
all
men
are
not
of
one
minde
:
for
as
there
hath
beene
a
troathlesse
Iason
,
so
hath
there
beene
a
trustie
Troylus
,
and
as
there
hath
beene
a
dissembling
Damocles
,
so
was
there
a
loyall
Laelius
.
And
sure
Mamillia
,
I
call
the
Gods
to
witnesses
,
I
speake
without
fayning
,
that
sith
thy
bewtie
,
either
by
fate
or
fortune
,
is
shrined
in
my
heart
,
my
loyaltie
shall
be
such
,
as
the
be
troathed
fayth
of
Erasto
to
his
Persida
,
shal
not
compare
with
the
loue
of
Pharicles
to
Mamillia
.
Sith
therefore
my
loue
is
such
,
repaye
but
halfe
so
much
in
parte
of
recompence
,
and
it
will
be
suffycient
to
release
my
sorrowe
.
But
alas
,
who
can
lay
their
loue
where
is
no
desert
,
and
where
want
breedes
a
flat
denyall
?
Ah
Mamillia
,
Nature
by
her
secreete
iudgement
hath
endued
all
creatures
with
some
perfect
qualities
,
wher
want
breedes
mislyking
.
The
Moule
depriued
of
sight
,
hath
a
woonderfull
hearing
:
the
Hare
being
very
fearefull
,
is
most
swift
:
the
fish
hauing
no
eares
,
hath
most
cleere
eyes
;
so
I
,
of
meane
wealth
,
and
lesse
witte
,
haue
giuen
me
by
nature
such
a
loyal
hart
,
as
I
hope
the
perfection
of
the
one
will
supply
the
want
of
the
other
,
and
if
the
choyce
had
beene
in
my
handes
,
it
shoulde
haue
beene
as
it
is
:
therefore
sith
in
you
onely
consistes
my
safetie
,
and
that
your
bewtie
hath
gayned
the
chiefest
place
in
my
heart
:
Whereof
I
hope
when
time
shal
be
fauourable
to
my
desire
,
to
make
sufficient
tryal
,
I
humbly
beseech
you
to
take
pitie
vppon
him
,
whose
life
&
death
consistes
in
your
answer
:
and
to
let
it
be
such
,
as
you
may
haue
a
faithfull
seruant
for
euer
.
ALthough
these
wordes
of
Pharicles
,
Gentlemen
,
did
not
greatlye
displease
Mamillia
,
beecause
it
is
verye
harde
to
anger
a
woman
with
praising
her
,
and
especially
,
if
she
think
asmuch
of
her selfe
as
others
speake
,
yet
she
would
haue
hid
fire
in
the
straw
,
and
haue
daunced
in
a
net
,
striuing
as
much
as
shee
could
,
with
a
discontented
countenaunce
to
couer
a
contented
mind
,
and
to
seeme
as
cruel
as
a
Tygre
,
though
as
meeke
as
a
Lambe
,
least
either
by
outward
shewe
or
words
hee
might
coniecture
some
hope
of
good
happe
,
she
gaue
him
this
cold
confect
for
his
hotte
stomacke
.
SYr
,
quoth
she
,
although
the
common
prouerb
saieth
,
that
the
Citie
which
comes
to
parle
,
and
the
woman
that
lendes
an
attentiue
eare
,
the
one
is
soone
sacked
,
and
the
other
is
easilye
gayned
:
yet
I
would
wish
you
not
to
conceiue
any
hope
,
or
spend
any
trauaell
:
for
your
hope
shal
be
voyd
,
and
your
labour
lost
.
For
although
I
was
so
foolish
to
lend
you
mine
eare
,
I
am
warie
enough
in
letting
of
my
heart
:
for
as
you
found
me
prodigall
in
the
one
,
you
shall
finde
me
as
niggardly
in
the
other
.
But
as
fables
are
good
enough
to
passe
away
the
time
,
so
your
talke
will
seeme
to
shorten
the
way
,
and
so
I
take
it
.
For
it
is
yll
halting
before
a
Cryple
,
and
a
burnt
childe
will
feare
the
fire
.
And
though
I
neede
not
doubt
,
because
I
was
neuer
burnt
,
yet
is
it
good
to
beware
by
an
other
mans
harme
:
the
Mouse
that
seeth
her
fellow
taken
in
the
trappe
,
and
ventureth
her self
,
deserueth
no
pittie
,
if
she
be
caught
:
the
Foxe
seeing
his
marrow
almost
kilde
with
the
dogges
,
is
a
foole
,
if
he
take
not
squat
:
it
is
hard
taking
of
fowle
,
when
the
net
is
descried
:
and
yll
catching
of
fish
,
when
the
hooke
is
bare
:
it
is
hard
,
Pharicles
,
to
make
her
beleeue
,
that
will
giue
no
credit
,
&
to
deceiue
her
that
spyeth
the
fetch
:
when
the
string
is
broken
,
it
is
hard
to
hit
the
white
:
when
a
mans
credit
is
called
in
question
,
it
is
hard
to
perswade
one
.
Blame
me
not
,
Pharicles
,
if
I
vrge
you
so
strictly
,
nor
thinke
nothing
,
if
I
suspect
you
narrowly
:
a
woman
may
knit
a
knot
with
her
tongue
,
she
cannot
vntie
with
all
her
teeth
:
and
when
the
signet
is
set
on
,
it
is
too
late
to
breake
the
bargayne
:
therefore
I
had
rather
mistrust
too
soone
,
then
mislike
too
late
,
I
had
rather
feare
my
choyce
,
then
rue
my
chaunce
:
I
had
rather
stop
at
the
brimme
,
then
at
the
bottome
.
A
womans
heart
is
like
the
stone
in
Aegypt
,
that
will
quickly
receiue
a
forme
,
but
neuer
chaunge
without
●racking
:
therefore
,
if
I
receiue
any
,
it
shal
be
such
a
one
,
as
I
shall
not
repent
me
:
I
put
an
if
in
it
,
because
I
doe
not
meane
to
chaunge
virginitie
with
mariage
,
for
it
would
be
too
hard
a
bargaine
:
for
we
see
those
women
,
which
haue
bin
counted
most
wise
,
haue
beene
most
chaste
,
and
so
fearefull
to
match
,
that
they
durst
not
once
cal
it
in
question
.
Faza
,
the
princesse
of
Gaule
,
when
she
knew
her
father
had
promysed
her
in
mariage
,
wept
so
long
,
til
she
became
blind
.
Parthenia
after
she
was
maryed
,
and
had
tryed
by
childebirth
the
difference
betweene
virginitie
and
mariage
,
she
would
neuer
after
companye
with
her
husband
,
saying
,
that
a
lasting
vertue
was
to
be
preferred
before
a
fading
vanitie
:
sith
therfore
the
most
wise
haue
feared
and
eschewed
,
thinke
me
not
cruell
,
if
I
be
wise
for
my self
,
nor
iudg
me
not
scrupulous
,
though
I
put
a
doubt
before
I
haue
cause
;
or
be
in
dread
to
buy
repentance
at
an
vnreasonable
rate
,
for
if
I
were
minded
to
marry
,
I
shoulde
hardly
find
one
fish
among
so
many
Scorpions
,
or
one
●eral
among
so
many
broken
glasses
.
The
woolfe
hath
as
smooth
a
skin
as
the
simple
sheepe
:
the
sower
Elder
hath
a
fayrer
bark
than
the
sweet
gineper
:
where
the
water
is
calmest
,
there
it
is
deepest
;
and
where
the
sea
is
most
quietthere
it
is
most
daungerous
;
where
is
the
greatest
colour
of
honestie
,
there
oftentimes
is
the
most
want
:
for
an
empty
vessell
hath
a
lowder
sound
then
a
full
barrell
,
and
a
dissembling
minde
hath
more
eloquence
then
a
faythfull
hart
:
for
trueth
is
euer
naked
.
I
will
not
apply
the
comparison
,
Pharicles
,
to
any
particular
,
but
in
generall
:
yet
if
the
propositions
be
vniuersal
,
they
may
inferre
in
the
conclusion
a
perticular
person
.
The
Poets
and
paynters
representing
the
loue
of
menne
,
bring
in
Cupid
with
a
payre
of
winges
;
disciphering
the
loue
of
women
,
a
Tortuse
vnder
the
feete
of
Venus
:
she
wing
that
as
the
loue
of
men
is
moueable
,
and
vnconstant
as
a
byrde
:
so
the
fancy
of
women
is
as
firme
&
fixed
,
as
a
stedfast
Tortuse
.
And
with
great
reason
:
for
neyther
the
Romishe
recordes
,
nor
Grecian
hystories
haue
made
any
,
or
at
the
least
so
oft
mention
of
the
disloyaltie
of
women
:
but
onely
how
their
simplicitie
hath
beene
beguyled
by
the
flatterie
of
faigned
louers
,
of
whome
the
most
renomned
may
beare
sufficient
witnes
:
(
as
Theseus
,
Iason
,
Hercules
,
Aeneas
and
Demophon
)
that
the
loue
of
men
hath
euer
beene
inconstant
:
yet
they
so
reioysed
at
their
infamous
deedes
,
that
the
Poets
canonized
them
,
not
only
for
saints
,
but
placed
them
among
the
Gods
,
so
that
others
of
base
estate
,
taking
example
by
them
,
doe
vaunt
of
their
disloyaltie
,
as
of
some
glorious
conquest
,
and
as
Herostratus
fiered
the
temple
of
Diana
,
to
be
spoken
of
,
so
they
falsifie
their
faith
,
to
be
famous
.
Yet
it
is
a
world
to
see
how
the
deepest
dissembler
of
them
all
,
can
haue
teares
accommaund
to
deceaue
a
simple
mayde
?
What
sighs
?
what
sobs
?
what
prayers
?
what
protestations
?
their
talke
burnes
as
hotte
as
the
mount
Aetna
,
when
as
their
affection
is
as
cold
as
a
clock
:
it
is
not
the
loue
of
the
maid
,
but
that
lust
of
their
mind
,
not
her
bountie
,
but
her
bewtle
;
so
that
euery
face
sets
them
on
fire
;
euery
lady
,
be
she
louely
,
must
be
their
mistres
.
But
no
maruel
,
for
if
men
are
chollericke
,
hot
in
their
loue
,
and
dry
in
their
fayth
,
soone
set
on
fire
,
and
soone
quenched
:
their
loue
is
euen
as
lasting
as
the
flame
in
the
straw
:
which
is
as
litle
permanent
,
as
it
is
violent
,
or
like
the
Apples
in
Arabia
,
which
begin
to
rot
,
ere
they
be
halfe
rype
.
Well
Pharicles
,
although
I
cast
all
these
doubtes
,
and
others
haue
tryed
them
true
,
yet
I
am
forced
by
fancy
to
take
some
remorce
of
thy
tormentes
.
Medea
knew
the
best
,
and
did
followe
the
worst
in
choosing
Iason
:
but
I
hope
not
to
finde
thee
so
wauering
.
Ah
Pharicles
,
I
haue
beene
brought
vp
in
the
court
,
and
although
my
bewtie
be
small
and
witlesse
,
yet
I
haue
beene
desired
of
many
,
and
could
neuer
fancy
any
:
thou
hast
wonne
the
castle
that
many
haue
besieged
,
and
hast
obtained
that
which
others
haue
sought
to
gaine
:
it
is
not
the
shape
of
thy
bewtie
,
but
the
hope
of
thy
loyaltie
,
which
enticeth
me
,
not
thy
fayre
face
,
but
thy
faythful
heart
;
not
thy
comely
countenaunce
,
but
thy
curteous
manners
;
not
thy
wordes
,
but
thy
vertues
:
for
she
that
buyldes
her
loue
vpon
bewty
,
meanes
to
fancy
but
for
a
while
:
for
where
the
subiect
is
fading
,
the
cause
cannot
be
lasting
.
Would
God
,
Pharicles
,
I
might
finde
thee
but
such
a
one
,
as
I
will
try
my selfe
to
bee
:
for
whereas
thou
dost
protest
such
loyaltie
;
and
put
case
it
be
as
true
as
it
may
be
:
yet
it
shall
be
but
counterfeite
respecting
mine
:
be
thou
but
Theagines
,
and
I
will
try
my selfe
to
be
more
constant
then
Cariclia
:
no
torments
,
no
trauayle
,
no
,
onelye
the
losse
of
life
shall
dimmishe
my
loue
:
in
liewe
thereof
remayne
thou
but
constant
,
and
in
pledge
of
my
protested
good
wyll
,
haue
heere
my
hearte
and
hande
to
be
thine
in
duste
and
ashes
.
MAmillia
hauing
thus
ended
her
talk
,
I
leaue
you
to
iudge
,
gentlemen
,
into
what
a
quandarie
Pharicles
was
broughte
seeing
the
answere
of
his
Mistresse
to
be
so
correspondent
with
his
demaund
,
&
the
fortune
was
so
fauourable
to
his
desire
,
as
she
seemed
to
will
,
that
he
did
wish
.
For
if
the
condemned
man
reioyseth
,
when
he
heareth
his
pardon
pronounced
,
or
the
prisoner
his
freedome
,
no
doubt
Pharicles
ioy
could
be
no
lesse
,
sith
denial
was
his
death
,
and
consent
,
the
conserue
to
heal
his
wound
:
the
greater
care
,
the
greater
ioy
:
the
more
doubt
,
the
more
pleasure
:
so
his
vnlookt
for
hap
brought
such
an
inspeakable
contentation
,
as
forced
through
the
extremity
of
his
passions
,
and
incensed
by
the
constrant
of
his
affection
,
he
burst
forth
into
this
talk
.
MAmillia
,
if
where
the
water
standeth
most
still
,
there
it
is
deepest
,
and
when
the
winde
is
lowest
,
then
the
greatest
tempest
is
imminent
:
so
where
the
minde
with
ouermuch
ioy
,
or
too
much
payne
is
surcharged
,
there
the
tongue
is
both
tyed
,
and
the
countenaunce
restrayned
:
so
that
as
the
heart
is
not
able
to
conceiue
it
,
the
tongue
is
not
able
to
expresse
it
,
as
the
water
potte
,
which
being
full
,
voydeth
no
licquour
.
Publius
Metellius
hearing
his
Sonne
had
subdued
the
Equiars
,
died
forioy
.
Cassinatus
conceaued
such
a
pleasure
in
seeing
his
father
winne
a
garland
in
Olympus
,
that
he
kild
himselfe
with
inward
laughter
.
If
I
infer
the
similitude
,
perhaps
it
wil
breede
doubt
:
for
deedes
in
loue
are
to
be
required
,
and
not
words
.
Therefore
,
for
feare
I
incurre
the
suspition
of
flattery
,
I
will
leaue
you
to
coniecture
of
that
,
which
I
thinke
.
But
this
by
the
way
,
assure
your selfe
,
Mistresse
Mamillia
,
that
your
bewtie
hath
so
blinded
me
,
as
I
shall
neuer
see
any
,
which
so
well
shal
content
my
minde
:
and
your
bountie
hath
bounde
me
neuer
to
lyke
any
other
.
Thus
enueigled
with
the
one
,
and
fettered
with
the
other
,
I
remayne
your
true
seruaunt
for
euer
.
WHile
they
were
in
these
tearmes
,
Madam
Castilla
thought
Pharicles
had
giuen
the
forte
a
suffycient
battery
,
for
this
tyme
:
therefore
ioyning
to
them
with
the
rest
of
the
company
,
she
enterrupted
them
on
this
maner
.
MIstresse
Mamillia
,
I
beleeue
you
will
go
with
a
cleane
soule
to
visit
the
sicke
patient
:
for
if
you
haue
beene
al
this
while
at
shrift
,
you
might
both
haue
confessed
a
great
many
of
faultes
,
and
receiued
full
absolution
.
But
I
pray
God
your
gostly
Father
be
as
holy
for
the
soule
,
as
wholsome
for
the
body
:
&
if
he
be
,
surely
you
haue
heard
good
counsell
:
if
not
:
it
is
Saint
Erauncis
fault
,
he
wantes
his
hoode
.
Madame
,
quoth
Mamillia
,
if
you
thinke
so
well
of
my
goastlye
Father
and
his
shrift
,
I
pray
you
let
him
haue
you
in
confession
as
long
:
for
you
are
eldest
,
and
therefore
had
neede
of
a
longer
examination
and
larger
absolution
,
if
hee
be
holye
for
the
soule
,
he
hath
enough
to
take
care
of
his
own
:
as
for
myne
,
I
will
take
charge
of
my selfe
:
if
wholsome
for
the
body
,
the
more
fitte
for
your
purpose
,
sith
old
women
are
full
of
diseases
,
and
had
neede
haue
a
Phisition
tyed
by
their
girdle
:
as
for
saint
Frauncis
fault
,
as
you
tearme
it
,
if
that
be
a
hinderaunce
of
his
comming
,
I
am
sure
to
pleasure
you
,
he
will
take
the
paynes
to
fetch
it
.
Pharicles
hearing
the
tauntes
of
the
Gentlewomen
,
and
seeing
that
he
was
come
to
the
Gentlemans
place
:
because
he
was
not
well
acquainted
,
though
against
his
will
,
though
best
for
that
time
to
take
his
leaue
:
and
therefore
offred
them
the
farewell
with
this
priuy
quip
.
Madame
,
if
my
keeping
the
Gentlewoman
so
long
at
shrift
,
hath
beene
in
any
respect
offensiue
to
you
,
I
am
very
sory
:
but
if
I
may
stand
you
as
long
in
steede
of
a
gostly
Father
,
and
so
pleasure
you
,
I
am
at
commaund
:
mary
my
commission
is
neither
for
worde
nor
deede
,
and
therefore
I
doubt
your
confession
will
be
too
large
for
mee
to
deale
with
all
.
But
sith
I
haue
brought
you
thus
farre
:
and
am
altogether
vnaequainted
with
the
Gentleman
,
I
will
take
my
leaue
to
depart
home
,
although
against
my
will
.
Nay
surely
,
quoth
Madame
Castilla
,
your
hast
shall
make
waste
,
and
your
small
acquaintaunce
shal
be
no
hinderance
:
for
at
this
time
you
shall
be
my
guest
,
and
with
that
they
entred
into
the
place
,
where
after
they
had
saluted
the
company
,
and
visited
the
sicke
person
,
Madam
Castilla
requested
the
gentleman
to
welcome
the
stranger
for
her
sake
,
who
both
had
taken
paines
to
beare
them
company
,
and
through
his
pleasaunt
conceites
procured
the
way
to
seeme
shorter
.
Signior
Gonzaga
taking
occasion
to
shew
his
good
will
to
Pharicles
,
aunswered
:
that
sith
the
maister
of
the
house
was
not
well
,
he
would
say
the
Gentleman
was
welcome
in
his
befalfe
:
and
so
taking
him
by
the
hand
,
welcomed
him
very
friendly
.
Which
curtesie
of
Gonzaga
was
no
lesse
pleasure
vnto
Pharicles
,
then
contentation
vnto
Mamillia
,
to
see
him
whom
they
most
doubted
,
to
shew
such
a
friendly
countenaunce
,
that
they
both
hoped
to
haue
a
prosperous
successe
in
their
enterprise
.
Now
this
sicke
Gentleman
,
called
Gostino
,
had
one
onely
daughter
,
named
Publia
,
about
the
age
of
sixteen
yeeres
,
whose
bewty
and
bringing
vp
,
shewed
that
she
was
in
no
respect
second
vnto
Mamillia
:
but
rather
more
perfect
in
the
giftes
of
nature
.
This
young
Gentlewoman
being
by
the
mothers
side
cosinue
Germaine
to
Mamillia
,
after
her
duetie
done
to
the
company
,
requested
them
to
take
such
a
simple
dinner
,
as
her
father
in
so
short
a
time
could
prouide
:
giuing
them
also
to
vnderstand
by
her
behauiour
,
that
the
influence
of
the
heauens
had
denyed
her
nothing
:
but
that
nurture
had
forced
her self
to
augment
the
grace
of
nature
,
and
that
comlines
of
body
,
and
curtesie
of
the
minde
hadde
a
continuall
warre
,
which
shoulde
haue
the
superyoritie
.
This
gorgeous
Goddesse
furnished
with
these
singular
qualities
in
euery
respect
,
so
set
on
fire
Pharicles
fancy
,
that
as
if
he
had
drunke
of
the
fountaines
in
Ardenia
,
his
hot
loue
was
turned
to
as
cold
a
lyking
.
Now
his
heart
was
set
vpon
Publia
,
which
of
late
was
vowed
to
Mamillia
,
in
such
a
sorte
,
that
his
stomacke
lost
the
woonted
appetite
to
feede
the
eyes
with
the
bewtie
of
his
new
Goddesse
,
as
that
he
seemed
to
haue
eaten
of
the
hearbe
Spattania
,
which
shutteth
vp
the
stomacke
for
a
long
season
.
And
Publia
on
the
contrary
side
,
noting
the
feature
of
Pharicles
,
the
comlynesse
of
his
person
,
and
the
rarenes
of
his
qualities
,
was
so
scortched
with
the
bewtie
of
this
new
guest
,
as
finding
occasion
to
conuey
her selfe
into
her
closet
,
vnder
the
colour
of
some
serious
businesse
,
she
powred
forth
her
plaintes
in
this
order
.
O
vnhappy
fortune
,
O
lucklesse
destinie
,
hath
Publia
prepared
a
banquet
to
entrappe
her selfe
with
a
more
daincy
delicat
?
hath
she
layde
the
net
,
and
is
taken
in
the
snare
?
hath
shee
welcommed
him
that
hath
caught
her
captiue
:
well
,
now
I
see
,
that
as
the
Bee
that
flyeth
from
flower
to
flower
,
hauing
free
choyce
to
chuse
at
libertie
,
is
at
last
taken
by
the
winges
,
and
so
fettered
:
in
like
manner
my
fancy
taking
the
viewe
of
euery
face
,
hath
a
restraint
of
her
freedome
,
and
is
brought
in
bondage
with
the
bewty
of
this
straunger
.
Alas
,
what
shall
I
doe
?
Shal
I
loue
so
lightly
?
shal
Fancie
giue
me
the
foyle
at
the
first
dash
?
shal
myne
eyes
be
the
cause
of
my
miserie
?
would
God
they
had
lost
their
sight
in
the
cradle
,
shal
my
heart
be
so
tender
,
to
yeelde
at
the
first
call
?
would
God
nature
had
framed
it
of
Adamant
,
to
resist
the
force
of
such
foolish
cogitations
.
Ah
Publia
,
consider
thy
state
:
what
hath
he
more
to
be
beeloued
then
other
?
thy
suters
haue
had
to
beliked
.
What
,
foole
?
dost
thou
aske
a
question
of
Loue
,
or
a
reason
of
Fancy
?
striue
not
against
the
streame
:
if
thou
resist
Loue
,
thou
art
ouermatched
.
For
euen
the
Gods
are
tributaries
vnto
Venus
,
as
confessinge
the
superiorities
of
beauties
kingdomes
,
then
be
not
thou
ashamed
,
being
but
a
simple
maide
.
Venus
loued
a
black
smith
with
a
poult
foote
:
and
thou
a
Gentleman
of
singular
perfection
:
yet
as
there
is
a
difference
betweene
thee
and
Venus
in
bewtie
:
so
is
there
a
greater
distaunce
betweene
Vulcan
and
him
in
deformitie
.
Then
Publia
,
yeelde
when
thou
must
needes
consente
:
run
when
thou
art
called
by
command
:
for
sure
,
if
euer
thou
wile
bestowe
thy
freedome
,
he
is
worthy
to
haue
thee
captiue
:
if
thou
meanest
to
marrie
,
thou
canst
not
haue
a
meeter
match
:
yea
but
how
if
his
heart
be
placed
,
and
his
minde
settled
?
then
were
I
a
great
deale
better
to
wayle
at
the
first
,
then
weepe
at
the
last
;
to
be
content
with
a
litle
pricke
,
then
with
a
deepe
wound
.
The
Scorpion
,
if
he
touch
neuer
so
lightly
,
enuenometh
the
whole
body
:
the
least
sparke
of
wilde
fier
sets
on
fire
a
whole
house
:
the
Coeatrice
killeth
euen
with
her
sight
:
the
sting
of
loue
woundeth
deadly
:
the
flame
of
Fancy
fireth
the
whole
bodye
:
and
the
eyes
of
a
Louer
are
counted
incurable
:
yet
the
Elephant
being
euuenomed
with
the
Uiper
,
eateth
him
vp
,
and
is
healed
,
there
is
nothing
better
for
burning
,
then
heat
of
fire
,
&
nothing
so
soone
killeth
a
Basilisk
,
as
the
sight
of
a
man
.
Then
Publia
,
sith
Pharicles
hath
giuen
the
wound
,
let
him
salue
the
sore
:
let
the
fire
of
affection
driue
out
the
flame
of
Fancy
;
and
sith
thou
art
hurte
by
the
eie
,
be
healed
by
the
sight
:
hope
for
the
best
:
for
thou
hast
as
much
to
be
loued
,
as
he
to
be
liked
:
&
therfore
remain
patient
,
til
thou
knowest
more
.
With
that
she
went
out
of
her
closet
:
but
before
her
returne
the
strangers
had
dined
,
and
were
al
descanting
of
the
Gentlemans
disease
.
So
many
heads
,
so
many
wits
:
for
some
saide
it
was
a
feuer
,
and
proceeded
of
cold
:
some
,
the
consumption
of
the
milte
,
whose
originall
was
thought
some
burstines
,
and
ensued
of
flegme
:
some
one
thing
,
and
some
an
other
:
but
all
I
thinke
mist
the
marke
.
Gonzaga
,
who
heard
all
their
opinions
,
sayd
,
that
if
the
Gentleman
were
not
wel
stricken
in
age
,
whatsoeuer
the
disease
was
,
he
would
say
the
first
cause
was
loue
:
and
my
reason
is
this
,
quoth
he
:
the
oft
chaunge
of
colours
,
his
sodaine
traunces
,
his
sighes
in
his
dreame
,
the
dead
stopping
of
his
pulses
,
and
then
their
beating
a
fresh
,
al
these
are
signes
of
an
vnquiet
minde
,
of
an
impatient
affection
,
and
to
be
flat
,
of
loue
it selfe
.
Signior
Gonzaga
,
quoth
the
sicke
Gentleman
,
eyther
you
are
expert
in
phisick
,
or
els
you
speake
by
experience
:
but
whether
you
doe
,
you
misse
the
cushion
:
for
my
disease
doth
not
proceede
of
loue
:
nor
if
I
were
wel
,
should
it
:
for
I
haue
felt
the
first
dishe
of
so
variable
a
tast
,
that
I
wil
neuer
eate
of
the
second
:
I
meane
,
I
felt
the
presence
of
my
wife
so
sweet
,
and
her
absence
by
death
so
sowre
,
as
I
meane
,
neuer
to
try
the
like
hap
.
But
nowe
,
sith
you
are
all
at
leysure
,
and
I
very
gladde
to
heare
any
thing
that
might
mittigate
the
paine
,
or
shorten
the
time
,
I
woulde
craue
this
boone
of
you
all
in
general
,
that
one
of
you
woulde
satisfie
my
minde
in
this
,
to
tel
me
what
thing
it
is
the
common
people
call
loue
.
The
Gentlemen
of
their
curtesie
could
doe
no
lesse
but
condiscend
to
their
hostes
request
:
yet
euery
one
alleadging
of
disability
,
so
that
they
were
forced
to
cast
lots
,
who
shoulde
discusse
this
hard
question
:
&
amongst
al
,
the
chance
fel
vpon
Pharicles
,
which
although
it
was
some
small
griefe
vnto
him
,
because
hee
doubted
of
his
habilitye
:
yet
hee
thought
Fortune
fauoured
him
in
this
poynt
,
that
he
might
shew
his
cunning
before
Publia
.
Where
I
cannot
but
muse
,
Gentlemen
,
to
see
that
such
moyst
licour
shold
turne
to
hard
flint
:
that
the
most
wholsome
Mithridate
in
twise
shifting
,
should
be
deadly
poyson
:
that
the
Reedes
in
Candie
,
will
of
their
owne
nature
beecome
bitter
gall
:
that
the
loue
of
men
should
turne
to
hard
harted
:
that
fancy
should
be
quenched
at
the
second
sight
:
that
the
affection
of
Pharicles
,
should
turne
to
frantik
folly
,
in
mislyking
without
cause
,
and
choosing
without
tryall
:
but
it
is
not
so
common
,
as
true
,
that
men
be
fickle
in
their
fayth
,
brittle
in
their
braine
,
and
luke-warme
in
their
loue
:
neither
hot
nor
cold
,
euen
like
the
Pickerell
,
that
keepeth
the
baight
in
his
mouth
,
to
cast
out
at
his
pleasure
:
yet
where
doe
we
see
any
writing
of
loue
,
or
of
any
such
matter
:
but
they
must
haue
one
fling
at
women
?
dispraysing
their
nature
,
disciphering
their
nurture
,
painting
out
their
polliticke
practises
and
subtil
shiftes
,
declaring
their
mutabilitie
,
comparing
them
to
the
Polipe
stone
,
that
chaungeth
colours
euery
houre
;
to
the
Weathercock
,
that
wauereth
with
the
wind
;
to
the
Marigolde
,
whose
forme
is
neuer
permanent
,
but
chaungeth
with
the
Sunne
:
and
yet
they
themselues
a
great
deale
worse
:
as
Pharicles
,
one
of
the
same
sect
presently
shal
proue
:
who
fryed
at
euery
fire
,
and
chaunged
his
looke
at
euery
leeke
,
as
one
that
builded
vppon
bewtie
,
and
not
bountie
;
that
did
lust
,
but
not
loue
;
with
which
fickle
feuer
the
Gentlemen
of
our
time
are
greatly
troubled
:
for
he
that
cannot
looke
&
laugh
,
and
tel
a
tale
with
nulla
fide
,
they
wil
straight
note
him
in
ther
tables
for
a
dunce
,
or
put
him
in
their
bookes
for
a
foole
:
and
yet
they
wil
needes
fry
in
frost
,
&
freese
in
fire
:
they
see
,
&
yet
are
blind
:
they
heare
without
eares
,
they
spend
the
day
in
sighing
,
and
the
night
in
sobbes
;
they
haue
heapes
of
care
,
streames
of
teares
,
waues
of
woe
:
yea
,
to
be
short
,
they
like
without
loue
,
and
fancy
,
without
affection
,
that
their
choyce
must
needes
chaunge
,
because
it
is
without
reason
.
But
againe
to
Pharicles
,
who
seeing
necessitie
on
the
one
side
,
and
his
credit
on
the
other
,
to
be
two
spurres
in
his
side
,
and
that
the
Gentlemen
were
attentiue
,
began
on
this
manner
.
THe
Poets
and
Paynters
fayned
not
fortune
blinde
,
without
good
cause
,
and
great
reason
:
for
as
her
gifts
are
vncertaine
:
so
the
lotte
is
doubtfull
,
and
the
chaunce
vnlooke
for
,
most
often
happeneth
:
she
imparteth
wealth
to
the
foole
,
and
pouertie
to
the
wise
:
she
powreth
water
into
the
Sea
,
when
it
ouerfloweth
,
and
giueth
riches
to
him
that
is
cloyed
with
aboundance
:
doe
we
not
see
,
that
were
is
most
neede
,
there
she
giueth
least
?
and
the
most
noble
men
haue
the
woorst
lucke
?
Policrate
is
a
mirrour
of
her
mutabilitie
,
by
his
miserable
end
:
and
Abdolominus
,
a
patterne
of
her
frailtie
,
by
his
good
happe
:
and
I
heere
may
serue
for
a
proofe
of
her
small
skill
,
that
hath
layed
a
great
burden
on
me
,
which
am
leest
able
to
beare
it
.
But
on
the
small
braunch
hangeth
oft
the
most
fruit
;
and
on
the
woorst
wit
somtimes
chaunceth
the
greatest
charge
:
for
neither
my
experience
by
nurture
,
nor
my
wit
by
nature
,
hath
wherof
to
compare
with
the
worst
of
the
company
,
and
yet
fortune
by
lot
hath
layde
the
most
on
me
,
so
that
he
that
woorst
may
,
must
hold
the
candle
.
But
sith
a
man
must
needes
go
when
the
diuel
driues
,
although
I
know
my
faulte
,
and
you
shall
finde
it
,
yet
the
hope
of
your
curtesie
,
voyde
of
curiositie
,
somewhat
encourageth
my
slender
skill
to
presume
the
farther
,
although
beetweene
your
learned
eares
and
my
rude
tongue
there
will
be
great
discord
.
I
will
not
doe
as
Hiarbitas
and
Hermonides
,
who
striuing
to
excell
in
musicke
,
for
euer
lost
their
voyces
,
least
if
I
force
my selfe
in
eloquence
to
seeme
a
courtier
,
I
proue
at
length
a
flat
carter
.
Astorides
seeing
Roscius
gestures
,
durst
neuer
after
come
on
the
stage
:
Hiparchion
hearing
Rufinus
blowe
vpon
his
pipe
,
would
neuer
after
play
on
his
flute
.
Two
thinges
daunte
the
minde
of
a
young
man
;
eyther
the
skill
or
person
of
the
hearer
.
Demosthenes
the
famous
Orator
of
Athens
was
so
astonished
at
the
maiestie
of
king
Philyp
,
that
he
lost
his
speech
:
Carnitus
seing
Anniball
comming
into
the
schooles
,
became
dumb
:
then
it
is
no
meruaile
,
gentlemen
,
if
I
be
afrayed
to
incur
the
common
proueth
.
A
fooles
bolt
is
soone
shot
;
or
to
doubt
that
my
green
wit
should
giue
a
rash
reason
,
or
enter
too
far
in
mine
own
conceite
,
which
was
so
hurtful
to
Marsias
,
that
with
his
pipe
would
imitate
Apollos
harp
.
Notwithstanding
as
the
prick
of
the
spurre
forceth
the
horse
that
feareth
the
euill
way
,
so
in
this
my
doubt
the
reuerence
I
beare
to
Gostino
and
the
rest
of
the
company
banisheth
al
feare
,
assuring
my selfe
you
will
lay
the
fault
vpon
fortune
,
who
made
the
lotte
so
vnequall
,
and
let
my
vniust
chaunce
serue
for
a
sufficient
excuse
:
and
if
I
happe
to
stretch
too
farre
,
I
wil
blowe
the
retrayte
with
repentance
which
neuer
commeth
without
pardon
.
When
I
coniecture
with
my selfe
,
Gentlemen
,
the
great
trauel
and
industry
that
the
auncient
Philosophers
,
and
learned
men
haue
taken
in
searching
out
the
secrets
of
nature
,
insomuch
that
some
of
them
haue
put
out
their
owne
eyes
,
to
attayne
to
the
greater
perfection
,
thinking
that
they
were
obstacles
&
hinderances
of
their
profound
contemplations
,
as
did
Democles
.
Others
being
extreemely
delighted
with
supernaturall
cogitations
,
and
enamoured
of
the
Mathematical
artes
,
with
gazing
vp
into
the
skie
,
haue
fallen
backward
,
and
broken
their
neckes
,
as
did
Gallus
:
some
searching
out
the
essence
of
the
first
matter
,
waded
so
farre
in
the
depth
of
Astronomy
,
seeking
out
the
causes
of
the
ebbing
and
flowing
of
the
Sea
,
that
they
drowned
themselues
,
as
Aristotle
.
Others
coueting
to
know
the
sense
of
secret
maters
scanning
the
quidities
of
Logike
,
haue
lost
their
wittes
,
as
Crinitus
,
and
many
other
moe
.
I
cannot
but
maruel
that
among
al
these
secretaries
of
nature
,
there
haue
neuer
byn
found
any
which
haue
enterprised
to
search
out
the
essence
and
perfect
nature
of
loue
.
Sure
I
thinke
they
might
answeare
with
Hermes
,
who
being
demanded
what
God
was
,
said
he
could
neuer
giue
answeare
,
because
the
farther
he
went
,
the
more
was
behinde
,
yet
in
my
iudgement
the
true
loue
is
no
other
thing
,
but
a
desire
of
that
which
is
good
;
and
this
good
is
the
influence
of
the
celestiall
bountie
:
so
that
by
the
definition
it
is
to
be
placed
in
the
intellectuall
part
of
the
mynd
,
and
not
in
the
sensuall
:
but
your
question
Signior
Gostino
is
of
that
which
the
common
people
cal
loue
.
Ouid
,
who
thought
himselfe
a
maister
of
that
art
,
and
writ
precepts
of
the
same
,
thought
it
more
obscure
then
the
Letters
of
Ephesus
,
or
the
riddles
of
Sphinx
,
to
tel
the
perfect
definition
of
loue
:
so
that
being
demanded
what
it
was
,
answered
,
that
hee
knew
not
what
it
should
be
,
from
whence
it
sprong
,
whether
it
went
,
nor
to
what
end
it
tended
:
but
sure
,
quoth
he
,
it
is
the
losse
of
a
mans
selfe
:
Anacreon
said
it
was
〈◊〉
mischiefe
〈◊〉
or
a
pince
of
pleasure
we
receiue
a
gallon
of
sorow
:
for
what
weapinges
,
what
watchinges
,
what
cursinges
,
what
sighes
,
what
trauel
doth
the
louer
endure
?
so
that
in
an
other
place
he
calleth
it
a
warfarre
,
for
the
drumme
of
fancy
,
strikes
vp
the
Alarum
in
the
Louers
heartes
,
as
he
goeth
to
fight
,
knowing
to
be
vanquished
:
and
that
euery
frowning
looke
of
his
Lady
,
is
worse
then
the
shot
of
a
cruell
Cannon
.
And
yet
the
Passionate
Louer
is
thought
to
abyde
no
payne
,
nor
suffer
no
trouble
.
Calimachus
calleth
it
a
Court
without
Sergeantes
,
for
because
they
that
loue
,
obey
without
consistant
,
and
are
captiue
without
conquest
.

then

Gostino
,
whether
it
were
through
the
weakenes
of
his
stomacke
,
or
the
extremetie
of
his
paine
,
was
forced
to
interrupt
Pharicles
in
the
middes
of
his
talke
,
requesting
the
Gentleman
not
to
think
that
it
was
wearines
of
his
discourse
:
but
that
straungenesse
of
the
disease
,
that
procured
this
restraint
,
and
to
entreate
the
rest
of
the
companye
not
to
take
it
in
euill
parte
,
that
hee
was
the
cause
of
such
a
sodaine
intermission
,
hoping
the
Gentleman
at
their
next
meeting
woulde
satisfie
their
mindes
fully
,
wishing
Pharicles
not
to
bee
a
straunger
at
his
house
,
but
to
vse
him
as
a
friend
,
and
the
oftner
he
should
come
,
the
better
he
should
be
welcome
.
Pharicles
,
with
the
rest
of
the

perceiuing
Gostino
to
craue

and
that
his

eyes
chymed
for

,
thanking
him
for
their
good
cheere
,
and
wishing
his
welfare
,
tooke
their

,
and
departed
.
But
Pharicles
,
whose
heart
was
on
his
halfpenny
,
found
fish
on
his
fingers
,
that
he
might
be
the
last
should
take
his
leaue
of
Publia
,
to
see
if
he
could
strike
fire
out
of
the
flint
:
and
therefore
strayning
her
by

gaue
her
his
A

Gentlewoman
,
if
I
take
my
leaue
more
boldly
then
any
of
ther
rest
,
impute
the
fault
to
your
bewtie
,
and
not
to
my
impudencie
,
which
so
hath
fixed
my
fancy
with
the
flame
of
affection
,
as
●●n
halfe
in
doubt
it
is
vnquenchable
:
yet
though
the
patient
knowes
his
disease
vncurable
,
he
couetes
a
plaister
to
mitigate
the
paine
.
But
I
hope
well
,
and
if
I
may
haue
wel
,
I
shall
thinke
my selfe
to
get
as
much
as
I
would
wish
.
The
traueller
talking
of
hunger
,
hath
euer
a
more

stomacke

and
I
so
long
discoursed
of

,
that
where
before
I
shotte
as
a
blinde
man
:
nowe
were
I
able
to
speake
by
experience
.
For
Ouid
,
nor
all
the
maisters
of

coulde
neuer
finde
out
a
more
perfect
definition
,
then
my
fancie
,
fettered
in
the
beames
of
your
bewtie

hath
imprinted
into
my
mind
:
so
that
by
the

of

,
will
you

nill

quoth
shee
,
as
I
cannot
laye
the
fault
of
your
boldnesse
,
as
you
tearme
it
,
to
any
impudency
,
so
would
I
not
haue
you
without
cause
accuse
my

you
either
commit
folly

flattery

for
hee
that

the

for

colour

is
eyther
stone
blinde
,
or

madde
:
and
therefore
I
thinke
that
your
fancye
is
not
fixed
:
but
your
fantasie
is
fumed
with
some
vapours
,
proceeding
from
a
hotte
stomacke
,
procuring
a
rash
iudgement
:
so
that
when
it
shal
be
alayed
with
some

confection
,
you
wil
not
be
of
the
same
opinion
.
But
sure
I
am
content
at
your
next
commiyng

to
take
a
recantation
for
a
recompence
of
your
errour
,
which
the
sooner
it

the
better
it
shall

and
so
fare
you
well

〈…〉
stayed
minde
of
Publia
,
to
swarue
from
the
vowed
virginitie
:
so
that
thinking
my selfe
as
chaste
,
as
any
in
Padua
,
I
proue
the
lightest
in
Italy
:
for
I
yeelde
before
I
be
ouercome
:
I
consent
without
compulsion
:
the
first
assault
,
the
first
shot
,
the
first
Alarm
,
yea
the
first
worde
hath
scaled
the
walles
,
wonne
the
Fort
,
and
caught
me
captiue
.
Alas
,
what
will
they
say
,
that
praysed
me
for
my
vertue
?
will
they
not
as
fast
disprayse
me
for
my
vice
?
will
not
my
father
fret
,
my
kinsfolke
cry
out
,
my
friendes
be
sory
,
my
enemies
laugh
me
to
scorne
?
yea
,
will
not
al
the
world
wonder
,
to
see
me
of
late
giuen
to
chastitie
,
and
now
shake
handes
with
virginitie
?
to
yeeld
my
deerest
Iewel
and
chiefest
treasure
vnto
the
straunger
?
The
choyce
of
a
friend
requireth
the
eating
of
a
bushell
of
salt
;
then
the
choosing
of
a
husband
,
tenne
;
for
by
how
much
the
bande
is
straighter
,
by
so
much
the
choice
should
be
longer
.
But
I
almost
lyke
beefore
I
looke
,
and
loue
beefore
I
knowe
,
and
cast
my
corne
,
I
wotte
not
where
;
and
am
lyke
to
reape
,
I
knowe
not
what
.
Ah
foole
,
is
not
the
Iacinth
,
if
it
be
rubbed
with
lyme
,
soone
set
a
fire
,
and
hardly
quenched
?
is
not
the
Adamant
and
the
yron
soone
ioyned
,
and
hardly
disseuered
?
the
coyne
hath
his
stampe
in
a
moment
,
and
cannot
be
taken
out
without
melting
.
Loue
entreth
easily
,
and
is
as
hard
to
thrust
out
as
nature
:
fancye
soone
fireth
:
but
long
ere
it
quencheth
:
yea
but
Publia
,
flatter
not
thy selfe
:
for
soone
rype
,
soone
rot●●●
;
that
which
e●●●eth
without
compulsion
,
will
weare
awaye
without
constraint
:
marryage
,
if
it
be
soone
begun
,
yet
it
is
not
so
soone
ended
.
Take
time
and
choyce
,
and
choose
warily
,
not
his
face
:
for
nothing
so
soone
gluttes
the
stomacke
,
as
sweete
meate
;
and
nothing
sooner
filles
the
eye
,
then
bewtie
:
for
oftentymes
where
is
the
best
proportion
,
there
are
the
woorst
properties
;
the
wine
is
not
knowne
by
the

,
but
by
the
taste
.
The
Gods
intending
to
:
shew
the
perfection
of
nature
in
one
creature
,
framed
a
man
so
exquisit
in
forme
and
feature
,
as
neither
for
the
lmiamentes
of
his
face
,
nor
the
proportion
of
his
bodye
was
possible
to
be
sayde
,
this
was
wanting
.
This
demy
God
being
sent
vpon
the
earth
,
when
as
noone
could
condemne
nature
of
want
,
Momus
onely
found
this
fault
,
that
the
Gods
framed
not
a
window
in
his
brest
,
through
which
to
perceiue
his
inward
thoughtes
:
meaning
,
as
I
coniecture
,
that
there
is
none
so
comly
in
his
body
,
but
may
bee
corrupte
in
his
minde
,
nor
so
fine
in
his
feature
,
but
he
may
be
faultie
in
his
fayth
:
to
conclud
,
as
euery
saint
hath
his
feast
,
so
euery
man
hath
his
fault
;
that
a
man
●ad
neede
groope
well
,
that
should
finde
one
fish
amonge
so
manye
Scorpions
,
and
what
a
one
Pharicles
is
,
I
may
easily
gesse
,
but
I
know
not
.
Ah
Publia
,
if
any
one
heard
thy
talke
,
they
might
condemne
thee
of
villany
.
Wilt
thou
speak
euil
of
him
which
wisheth
well
to
thee
?
shal
the
reward
of
loue
be
loathing
?
doth
good
wil
deserue
hatred
?
or
fancy
defiance
?
What
hath
he
,
the
thou
maist
not
like
?
or
what
wouldest
thou
like
,
that
is
wanting
in
him
,
neither
bewty
,
birth
,
wisdome
,
wealth
,
&
what
more
is
to
be
required
in
a
man
?
Ah
,
nothing
,
Publia
:
his
store
procureth
thy
want
,
his
perfection
hath
made
thee
vnperfect
,
as
now
thy
welfare
hanges
in
the
wil
of
an
other
man
,
and
doost
both
liue
and
loue
,
so
that
conclude
with
thy self
,
Pharicles
must
be
he
,
whose
shape
thou
wilt
shrine
in
thy
heart
for
euer
,
hap
good
or
happe
euill
,
against
all
the
assaultes
of
fortune
.
Publia
was
not
thus
vexed
on
the
one
side
,
but
Pharicles
suffred
a
farre
greater
torment
:
that
after
hee
came
to
his
lodging
casting
himselfe
on
his
bedde
,
hee
exclaymed
on
his
happe
in
such
sorte
,
that
the
aboundance
of
teares
were
sufficient
signe
●
of
his
woe
.
O
Pharicles
,
Pharicles
,
what
a
doubtefull
combate
dost
thou
feele
in
thy
minde
betweene
fancy
and
fayth
,
loue
and
loyaltie
,
beautie
and
bountie
?
shal
the
flickering
assault
of
fancy
ouerthrow
the
castle
of
constancy
,
shall
the
lightnesse
of
loue
violate
the
league
of
loyaltie
?
shal
the
shadow
of
bewtie
wipe
out
the
substance
of
bounty
?
shall
hope
bee
of
more
force
then
assurance
?
wilt
thou
vow
thee
constant
to
one
,
and
prooue
thy selfe
not
stedfast
to
any
?
the
Turtle
chuseth
,

the

with

neuer

these
haue
but
only
sense
;
and
I
am
sure
thou
hast
reason
and
sense
,
and
art
more
vnruly
:
they
haue
but
nature
for
their
guide
,
and
yet
are
constant
:
thou
haste
both
nature
and
nurture
,
and
yet
thy
minde
is
mouable
:
these
brute
beastes
keepe
their
consent
inuiolable
,
and
thou
a
reasonable
creature
dost
falsifie
thy
faith
with
out
constraint
,
yea
euen
breake
thine
oath
without

,
whereas
nothing
is
so
to
be

hauing
cracked

is

mooue
thee
to
be
loyall
to
Mamillia
:
be
thou
stedfast

no

thou
shalt
not
finde
her
staggering
:
but
if
thou
wauer
,
ware
thou
dost
not

loose
both

:
for

deserues
deceite

when

cannot

yes

it

I
can
like
Mamillia
for
a
neede
,
and
loue
Publia
of
necessitie
:
it
is
good
to
keepe
a
stale

for
feare
I
catch
no

needefull
to
holde
Mamillia

so

she

He
that
hath
two
fishes
at

it
is
hard
if
he
misse
both

Therefore
I
will
be
of
the
surer
side
alwayes
prouided
,
Publia
shall
haue
my
heart

I
hers

And
with
that
he
fell
in
a
study
with
himselfe
,
of
sundry
matters
pertayning
to
his
amorous
deuises
,
and
at
last
determined
with
himselfe
,
if
he
could
find
a
trusty
messenger
to
send
her
a
letter
,
fearing
if
he
should
make
his
repayre
〈◊〉
sodainely
,
it
would
breede
some
suspition
in
Gostinos
heade
,
for
hee
that
loues
,
castes
beyonde
the
Moone
,
and
especially
he
that
dissembles
:
and
craft
had
neede
of
cloking
,
where
trueth
is
euer
naked
.
Where
,
by
the
way
,
Gentlemen
,
we
see
Pharicles
a
perfect
patterne
of
Louers
in
these
our
dayes
,
that
beare
two
faces
vnder
one
hoode
;
and
haue
as
many
Ladyes
as
they
haue
wittes
,
and
that
is
not
a
fewe
:
for
euery
newe
face
must
haue
a
newe
fancye
;
and
if
hee
see
a
thousand
,
they
must
all
be
viewed
with
a
figh
,
as
though
hee
were
enamoured
;
if
she
be
younger
,
her
tender
age
pleaseth
him
;
if
she
be
of
middle
age
,
the
rypenesse
of
her
yeeres
,
contenteth
him
:
another
enchaunteth
him
with
her
voyce
,
and
one
with
her
gestures
:
so
that
his
couetous
defire
woulde
haue
all
,
and
yet
amidst
this
store
he
is
pyned
,
and
dissembling
doubt
maketh
a
restraint
of
his
choyce
,
yet
he
must
needes
be
a
Carpet
Knight
:
for
they
thinke
it
as
harde
to
lyue
without
loue
,
as
without
meat
.
But
when
they
beginne
to
like
,
it
is
a
worlde
to
see
howe
they
learne
to
lye
:
fancy
they
cannot
,
without
flattery
;
nor
talk
without
tales
,
they
be
dead
at
the
first
dash
,
&
plunged
in
Plutos
pitte
,
when
they
haue
a
merier
heart
them
the
poore
maide
.
They
say
,
a
woman
is
the
weaker
vessel
,
but
sure
in
my
iudgement
,
it
is
in
the
strength
of
her
body
,
and
not
in
the
force
of
her
minde
:
For
the
rypest
witte
,
the
readyest
heat
;
the
moste
subtill
skonce
is
fayne
to
sette
his
braynes
on
the
last
,
and
his
witte
on
the
tenters
to
deceiue
a
simple
mayde
:
first
he
assayes
with
flattery
,
then
with
sophistry
,
inferryng
his
comparisons
,
he
is
caught
in
the
beames
of
her
bewtie
,
as
the
Bee
in
the
cobwebbe
;
hee
is
parched
with
the
hue
of
her
face
,
as
the
Flye
in
the
candle
;
hee
is
drawne
by
the
qualities
of
her
mind
,
and
the
sweetenesse
of
her
voyce
,
as
with
a
Syrens
songue
,
and
when
perhappes
she
hath
nothing
to
be
praysed
nor
to
bee
lyked
in
her
,
yet
the
comlynesse
of
her
bodye
,
and
the
rarenesse
of
her
condicions
,
hath
so
enchaunted
,
as
if
shee
heale
not
his
wound
,
he
shal
as
it
were
with
Circes
cup
be
turned
to
a
hog
or
a
horse
.
And
this
they
vse
not
to
one
,
but
to
many
,
counting
him
a
foole
that
cannot
flatter
;
and
a
dol●e
,
that
dare
not
disemble
,
as
Pharicles
an
Archeaptaine
of
their
crue
presently
wil
prooue
,
who
knewe
the
best
,
and
followed
the
woorst
;
and
could
speake
hotlye
,
but
follow
it
as
coldly
.
For
after
that
hee
had
giuen
the
raynes
of
libertie
to
his
frantike
affections
,
and
hadde
fostered
the
sparke
to
growe
to
a
great
flame
,
the
medicine
then
came
too
late
,
when
the
disease
was
incurable
:
the
more
he
did
striue
,
the
woorse
he
was
:
euen
as
the
Harte
,
which
feeling
the
arrowe
in
his
side
,
the
more
he
forceth
him selfe
,
the
farther
it
entreth
;
or
the
byrde
being
taken
in
the
nette
,
by
struggling
becomes
faster
:
so
hee
seeking
to
eschewe
his
first
maladie
,
fell
into
a
deeper
sicknesse
,
perceiuing
as
the
wounde
by
time
is
more
grieuous
then
when
the
blowe
was
freshe
,
so
loue
encreaseth
by
delay
,
and
delayes
breede
daungers
:
fearing
agayne
his
hastie
venturing
might
procure
a
slacke
speedinge
,
determyned
to
take
counsell
at
his
pyllowe
,
and
as
his
minde
shoulde
giue
him
,
to
prosecute
his
purpose
:
and
in
this
doubte
hee
remayned
the
space
of
a
weeke
.
In
which
tyme
Publia
seeing
Pharicles
made
no
great
haste
in
his
returne
,
thought
her
newe
Louer
would
proue
an
olde
scoffer
,
condemning
her selfe
of
follye
,
that
shee
should
bee
so
soone
enticed
by
flatterie
,
seeking
to
roote
out
that
by
reason
,
which
was
inserted
by
sensualitie
,
knowing
,
no
fitter
remedie
for
loue
,
then
to
resist
betimes
,
in
which
determination
,
as
she
should
haue
proceeded
,
she
had
the
retrait
blown
by
a
letter
,
which
Pharicles
had
sent
her
by
his
page
.
Likwise
offering
in
his
maysters
behalfe
,
a
present
vnto
Gostino
,
in
recompence
of
his
good
cheere
,
which
he
receiuing
gracefullye
,
wished
the
Page
to
giue
it
to
his
daughter
,
who
taking
the
present
,
and
receiuing
the
Letter
,
could
scarcely
stay
to
vnrip
the
seale
,
while
she
came
in
her
closet
,
where
betweene
hope
and
dread
she
read
these
lines
following
:
Pharicles
to
Publia
.
IF
the
Gods
,
Publia
,
hauing
made
man
,
had
likewise
giuen
him
free
will
to
bee
mayster
of
himselfe
,
in
subduing
his
rebellious
affections
,
or
hadde
appoynted
medicine
for
the
minde
,
as
Phisick
for
the
soule
,
I
needed
not
at
this
time
haue
sought
for
helpe
to
resist
the
assaultes
of
contrary
passions
,
as
he
that
after
long
combat
for
the
defence
of
his
libertie
,
is
forced
to
yeelde
by
the
strength
of
the
Uictor
,
hoping
by
submission
to
obtaine
the
more
fauour
.
But
nature
and
fortune
hath
in
no
creature
framed
such
a
perfect
vnformitie
,
but
there
is
as
great
a
contrarietie
:
and
as
many
salues
as
arte
hath
taught
,
so
many
sores
nature
hath
giuen
,
neuer
suffering
blisse
to
come
without
bale
,
nor
good
lucke
without
ill
happe
,
finding
alwayes
a
cooling
carde
of
misfortune
to
pluck
down
the
puffing
peate
of
prosperitie
.
The
Bee
,
as
she
hath
the
fragrant
flower
,
wheron
to
take
delight
,
so
she
hath
the
Spiders
webbe
wherein
to
be
tangled
.
The
flye
,
as
she
is
reuiued
by
the
heate
of
the
Sunne
,
so
is
she
consumed
by
the
flame
of
the
fire
:
as
the
Lyon
cooleth
his
stomacke
with
eating
the
Sea-mouse
,
so
is
it
inflamed
with
eating
the
litle
Ermelyne
.
But
although
in
this
respect
I
cannot
greatly
eyther
accuse
nature
or
fortune
,
yet
the
destinies
I
thinke
haue
framed
your
bewtie
such
a
furious
enemy
to
my
carefull
minde
,
as
it
hath
made
such
a
breach
in
my
heart
,
that
the
strongest
rampyre
and
surest
defence
I
could
make
is
not
possible
to
resist
the
continual
Alarms
,
wherewith
the
remembraunce
of
your
rare
vertues
night
and
day
doe
assayle
me
in
such
wise
,
that
since
my
departure
I
haue
felt
in
my
heart
,
as
in
a
little
world
,
al
the
passions
and
contrarieties
of
the
Elementes
.
For
my
eyes
,
Publia
,
I
call
the
gods
to
witnesses
,
I
speake
without
fayning
,
almost
turne
into
water
through
the
continuall
streams
of
teares
,
and
my
sighes
flye
as
winde
in
the
ayre
,
proceeding
from
the
flaming
fire
which
is
kindled
in
my
hart
,
as
that
without
the
droppes
of
your
pittie
,
it
wil
turne
my
body
into
dry
earth
and
cinders
.
Then
,
Publia
,
sith
your
beautie
is
my
bale
,
let
it
be
my
blyssecouet
not
to
vanquish
him
which
is
already
captiue
,
striue
not
for
my
lyfe
,
sith
you
haue
my
libertie
,
but
let
the
waues
of
mercie
quench
the
fire
of
fancy
,
and
doe
but
render
loue
for
loue
:
yea
,
Publia
,
such
loue
as
eternitie
shall
neuer
blot
out
with
obliuion
,
neyther
any
sinister
fortune
in
any
wise
do
diminishe
:
so
that
if
the
world
wondred
at
the
loyaltie
of
Petrarch
to
his
Laura
,
or
Amadis
to
Oriane
:
they
shall
haue
more
cause
to
meruell
at
the
loue
of
Pharicles
to
Publia
,
whose
lyfe
and
death
standeth
in
your
answere
,
which
I
hope
shal
be
such
as
belongeth
to
the
desert
of
my
loue
,
and
the
shew
of
your
bewtie
.
Yours
,
if
he
be
Pharicles
.
PVblia
hauing
read
ouer
this
Letter
,
viewing
and
reuiewing
euery
lyne
in
particular
,
chaunged
colours
at
euery
sillable
,
fearing
to
be
foyled
by
flatterye
,
or
to
be
brought
into
a
fooles
paradise
by
promises
,
knowing
that
the
Nyghtingale
hath
a
sweete
voyce
,
and
yet
but
a
rankefleshe
:
that
the
Storkes
in
India
haue
a
pleasaunt
cry
,
but
a
bloody
byl
:
that
the
fayrest
Nutte
without
,
may
haue
the
fowlest
Worme
within
:
that
the
most
daynty
delicates
may
be
sauced
with
deadly
poyson
:
that
smooth
talke
and
fayre
promises
maye
haue
but
small
performance
:
that
wordes
were
but
winde
:
that
inke
and
paper
were
not
sufficient
pledges
for
such
an
inseperable
knot
:
yet
hope
haled
her
on
to
thinke
well
of
his
offer
:
and
that
shee
whiche
would
not
trust
ere
she
tryed
,
should
not
proue
without
peryll
:
saying
that
experience
is
the
Mistresse
of
fooles
,
and
that
they
which
were
incredulous
,
incurred
the
greatest
suspition
of
flatterie
:
so
amidst
these
sundry
dumpes
,
shee
tooke
her
penne
,
and
sent
Pharicles
this
dumpe
.
Publia
to
Pharicles
.
MAister
Pharicles
,
your
Letters
being
more
hastily
receiued
then
hartily
read
,
I
stoode
in
a
doubt
,
whether
I
should
answere
with
silence
,
or
Sophistrie
:
for
because
where
the
question
is
extream
,
there
the
answere
must
needes
want
a
meane
:
and
where
the
demand
is
but
a
iest
,
it
is
best
to
make
replye
with
a
scoffe
.
But
at
length
I
was
resolued
to
write
more
largly
then
I
would
,
hoping
both
to
profit
and
perswade
you
.
Profit
,
I
meane
,
in
that
I
spying
so
soone
your
faining
,
I
may
dehorte
you
from
flatterie
,
and
●e
the
meanes
that
you
leaue
this
folly
,
to
be
passionate
onely
in
your
pentie
,
a
louer
but
in
your
lippes
:
for
although
you
thinke
my
simple
witte
hath
no
such
caparitie
to
conceiue
your
vaine
iesting
,
yet
all
women
are
not
of
one
mettall
,
but
as
I
knowe
it
,
and
beare
with
it
:
so
they
wil
spy
it
,
and
both
blabbe
it
,
and
blame
it
:
yea
perhappes
crosse
you
out
of
their
creede
:
for
he
that
hath
beene
scratched
with
the
briers
,
will
take
heede
of
a
thorne
,
and
he
that
sees
his
felow
hurt
,
will
beware
of
the
like
harme
;
hee
that
hath
beene
deceiued
with
a
lye
,
will
scarsely
credit
a
true
tale
.
Women
are
wily
,
and
will
take
example
one
by
an
other
:
so
that
it
shall
bee
heard
for
one
to
halt
before
a
cryple
:
they
thinke
euery
one
that
writes
an
amorous
style
,
doth
not
loue
faithfully
:
but
most
of
them
lye
falsly
.
A
pricke
with
a
penne
proued
not
Clanuel
a
true
Louer
,
but
a
troathlesse
Lechour
:
yea
many
write
before
they
knowe
the
partie
,
and
get
by
it
they
know
not
what
:
so
that
,
Pharicles
,
if
women
would
credit
euery
line
,
they
would
buy
repentaunce
too
deare
.
But
if
Phillis
were
aliue
in
these
our
dayes
,
shee
would
neuer
hange
her selfe
:
and
if
Dido
had
beene
incredulou●
,
she
had
not
dyed
so
desperately
.
Therefore
Pharicles
,
if
I
doubt
without
cause
,
or
feare
before
I
haue
occasion
,
blame
me
not
,
sith
others
haue
suffered
such
euill
hap
by
venturing
too
far
in
an
vnknowne
vessell
.
Well
,
put
case
your
flattery
be
fayth
,
and
that
all
that
you
haue
written
is
Golden
:
yet
you
clayme
kindnesse
where
none
was
offered
:
or
else
you
thinke
because
I
sayd
farewel
friendly
,
I
did
fancy
firmly
:
surelye
eyther
you
are
deceiued
,
or
else
I
was
in
a
dreame
at
the
departure
:
for
I
doe
not
know
in
what
respect
eyther
my
words
or
deedes
should
be
a
spurre
to
pricke
you
forward
in
this
rash
entirprise
:
but
assure
your selfe
,
if
there
were
any
,
I
repent
me
of
them
,
not
that
I
am
so
foolish
to
repay
hatred
for
loue
:
but
that
I
haue
vowed
perpetuall
virginitie
,
and
meane
to
remaine
chaste
for
euer
.
Therefore
Pharicles
,
sease
to
craue
that
cannot
be
gotten
:
seeke
not
for
impossibilities
:
quench
the
fire
your selfe
,
when
an
other
cannot
put
out
the
flame
:
abate
the
force
of
loue
,
where
you
cannot
haue
your
longing
.
I
giue
you
perhappes
a
sower
sauce
to
your
sweete
meate
:
because
I
will
not
feede
you
with
delayes
,
nor
fobbe
you
with
fayre
wordes
,
and
foule
deedes
:
but
I
speak
as
I
thinke
,
&
so
you
shall
finde
it
.
Yet
in
fine
,
least
you
should
iudge
me
altogether
vngratefull
,
I
thank
you
for
your
good
will
,
and
I
thinke
well
of
it
:
and
if
euer
I
chaunce
to
loue
,
you
haue
as
much
to
like
as
any
:
therefore
if
your
fancy
be
so
fixed
,
as
you
make
faire
on
,
pray
that
both
my
heart
my
turne
,
and
my
vow
may
be
broken
,
and
then
hope
well
.
But
in
the
meane
time
,
if
you
come
,
you
shall
be
welcome
,
as
a
friend
:
but
no
farther
.
Yours
,
if
she
could
,
Publia
.
After
that
Pharicles
,
gentlemen
,
had
receiued
and
read
this
Letter
,
seeing
the
beginning
was
hard
,
thought
the
ending
as
ill
,
so
that
beeing
somewhat
chollericke
,
hee
threw
it
awaye
in
a
rage
,
not
half
read
,
rebuking
his
folly
in
so
soon
yeelding
vnto
fancy
,
turning
his
great
loue
to
a
greeuous
hate
,
as
one
somwhat
tickled
with
self
loue
,
thinking
that
Hawk
too
haggard
,
that
should
not
come
at
the
first
cal
:
now
againe
praysing
his
Mamillia
,
vowing
wholye
his
heart
vnto
her
,
and
promising
in
recompence
of
his
disloialtie
,
neuer
to
lend
Publia
a
good
looke
,
and
in
this
determination
flang
out
of
study
,
and
went
to
the
house
of
Gonzaga
.
HEre
gentlemen
,
we
may
see
the
flitring
of
mens
fancy
,
and
the
ficklenes
of
their
fayth
,
that
they
may
well
be
compared
to
a
blacke
wal
,
that
receiueth
euery
impression
,
which
not
withstanding
with
the
wipe
of
ones
hand
is
easily
defaced
:
so
men
loue
all
,
and
now
none
,
verifying
the
saying
of
Calimachis
,
that
as
flowers
fade
and
florish
euery
yeare
so
their
loue
is
hotte
and
cold
euery
houre
,
hauing
nothing
certaine
but
onely
this
,
that
the
last
driueth
out
the
first
,
as
one
nayle
forceth
cut
an
other
;
the
nature
of
men
is
so
destrous
of
noueltie
.
But
because
it
is
an
euill
dogge
,
barks
at
his
fellow
,
againe
to
Pharicles
,
who
being
come
into
the
house
of
Gonzaga
,
found
not
all
things
according
to
his
desire
for
Mamillia
was
halfe
sick
in
〈◊〉
bed
,
yet
she
her self
knew
scarsly
the
disease
:
but
Pharicles
missing
her
,
went
farder
,
and
sound
Madam
Castilla
sitting
solytary
in
her
Muses
,
whom
after
he
had
saluted
and
demaunded
how
mistres
Mamillia
did
:
Mary
quoth
Madam
Castilla
,
your
often
repair
vnto
her
,
as
farre
as
we
can
coniecture
,
hath
driuen
her
into
a
plurisie
,
or
vs
into
som
ielousie
:
but
whether
it
did
she
is
sicke
.
Pharicles
,
feeling
his
gald
conscience
prick●
sayd
,
that
although
it
pleased
her
to
iest
by
contraries
,
yet
his
return
was
as
speedy
,
as
might
be
:
for
his
busines
was
so
necessary
,
that
the
losse
of
his
landes
hanged
,
thereon
:
but
if
he
had
knowne
Mamillia
would
haue
conceiued
any
displeasure
at
his
absence
,
he
would
not
onely
haue
hasarded
his
landes
,
but
haue
ventured
his
life
to
haue
made
his
repaire
more
speedy
:
if
then
her
sicknesse
proceedes
of
my
negligence
,
I
hope
my
sufficient
excuse
will
be
a
remedy
to
cure
the
disease
.
You
speak
wel
,
quoth
Madam
Castilla
:
therefore
follow
me
,
that
you
may
plead
your
owne
cause
for
I
will
be
no
Aduocat
:
and
with
that
she
caried
him
into
Mamillias
chamber
,
where
she
lay
,
half
sleeping
,
half
waking
,
whom
Madam
Castilla
called
out
of
her
traunce
with
this
parle
.
MIstres
Mamillia
,
quoth
she
,
you
know
when
time
was
,
we
tearmed
this
Gentleman
a
gostly
father
:
therfore
I
thoght
good
in
this
your
sickenes
,
that
he
should
receiue
your
confession
,
as
one
most
meete
for
the
purpose
I
thank
you
for
your
paines
,
quoth
Mamillia
:
for
indeede
I
haue
a
great
block
in
my
conscience
,
which
I
meane
to
reueale
vnto
him
,
&
that
is
of
my
folly
,
in
louing
so
lightly
,
and
fixing
my
fancy
,
where
I
doubt
is
no
fayth
whereof
,
if
he
can
giue
me
absolution
,
I
shall
surely
bee
bound
vnto
him
.
Ah
Mamillia
,
quoth
Pharicles
,
doe
you
thinke
,
that
I
haue
such
a
trayterous
heart
,
or
such
an
impudent
face
to
imagine
such
trechery
against
your
diuine
bewtie
?
No
,
no
,
Mamillia
,
I
call
the
Gods
to
witnesses
,
and
the
heauens
to
heare
my
protestations
,
and
if
my
words
be
not
conformable
to
my
thoughts
:
the
internal
furies
conspire
my
vtter
destruction
;
and
if
my
mind
remaine
not
constant
,
and
my
fancy
firme
,
the
Gods
themselues
be
reuengers
of
such
disloyaltie
.
Well
,
said
Mamillia
,
Iason
promysed
as
much
to
Medea
,
and
yet
shee
founde
him
a
lyer
:
but
I
feare
no
such
matter
.
No
,
me
thinke
,
quoth
Madame
Castilla
,
I
dare
promise
for
the
Gentleman
.
But
now
let
vs
see
how
we
can
find
our
teeth
occupyed
,
as
we
haue
doone
our
tongues
,
and
then
I
will
say
none
of
vs
are
fallen
into
a
consumption
,
through
weakenesse
of
stomacke
:
so
they
all
went
to
dinner
.
Where
I
leaue
you
to
consider
,
Gentlemen
,
how
far
vnmeete
women
are
to
haue
such
reproches
layd
vppon
them
,
as
sundrye
large
lipt
felowes
haue
done
:
who
when
they
take
a
peece
of
work
in
hand
,
and
either
for
want
of
matter
,
or
lack
of
wit
are
half
grauelled
,
then
they
must
fill
vp
the
page
with
slaundering
of
women
,
who
scarsly
know
what
a
woman
is
:
but
if
I
were
able
either
by
wit
or
arte
,
to
be
their
defender
,
or
had
the
law
in
my
hand
,
to
dispose
as
I
list
,
which
would
be
as
vnseemely
,
as
an
Asse
to
treade
the
measures●
yet
,
if
it
were
so
,
I
would
correct
Mantuans
Egloge
,
intituled
Alphus
:
or
els
if
the
Authour
were
aliue
,
I
woulde
not
doubt
to
perswade
him
in
recompence
of
his
errour
,
to
frame
a
new
one
:
for
surely
though
Euripides
in
his
tragedies
doth
greatly
exclaim
against
that
sexe
,
yet
it
was
in
his
choller
,
and
he
inferred
a
generall
by
a
particular
,
which
is
absurd
.
He
had
an
euyll
wife
,
what
then
?
because
the
hill
Canaros
hath
a
fountayne
runs
deadlye
poyson
,
is
al
water
nought
?
shall
the
fire
be
reiected
,
because
some
one
sparke
fireth
a
whole
whose
?
are
the
bodyes
of
the
flyes
Cantharides
to
be
cast
away
,
because
their
legges
are
poyson
?
shal
we
condemne
al
women
of
inconstancy
,
because
Helena
was
fickle
?
or
all
to
be
naught
,
because
some
one
is
a
shrewe
?
if
the
premises
wil
infer
such
a
conclusion
,
I
refer
me
to
their
greatest
enemy
.
But
for
feare
of
a
farther
digression
,
againe
to
them
we
left
at
dinner
,
who
after
they
had
taken
a
suffycient
repast
,
fell
againe
to
their
former
discourse
,
till
Gonzaga
returning
home
,
broke
off
their
talke
with
his
presence
,
entertaining
Pharicles
very
friendly
,
assuring
him
he
was
as
welcome
as
he
could
wish
him selfe
to
be
,
which
curtesie
was
not
so
heartily
offred
,
as
willingly
reciued
.
So
that
it
seemed
if
the
one
were
content
,
the
other
was
as
well
pleased
.
Yet
Gonzaga
being
as
wily
as
Pharicles
was
wittie
,
desirous
to
smell
the
vane
of
the
young
Gentleman
,
trayned
his
hooke
with
this
bayte
.
Pharicles
,
quoth
he
,
the
old
Fox
that
cannot
spy
the
fetch
of
the
young
one
,
was
neuer
crafty
himself
:
the
Goose
that
cannot
see
the
Gosling
winke
,
may
seeme
to
haue
a
defect
of
nature
:
he
that
cannot
see
fire
in
straw
,
is
surely
stone
blind
:
and
hee
that
cannot
spy
the
flame
of
fancy
,
is
but
a
foole
.
There
is
none
wil
so
soone
spy
one
halting
,
as
a
cripple
:
it
is
hard
to
couer
smoke
,
but
more
hard
to
conceale
loue
.
I
my self
both
haue
tryed
it
,
and
nowe
I
likewise
finde
the
proofe
of
it
in
you
,
who
as
closely
as
you
keepe
your
cloke
,
yet
I
spy
the
lining
,
for
loue
kept
in
secret
is
like
the
spark
couered
with
ashes
,
which
at
length
bursteth
into
a
great
flame
.
But
if
it
be
as
I
thinke
,
I
am
glad
of
it
.
As
I
haue
taken
care
Pharicles
,
to
haue
my
daughter
keep
her
virginity
inuiolat
without
spot
of
suspitiousnes
,
so
would
I
be
as
willing
to
yeelde
the
fruits
of
her
chastity
into
the
hands
of
some
gentleman
,
whom
she
might
both
like
for
loue
,
&
think
wel
offor
his
birth
&
honesty
,
rather
wishing
with
Themistocles
to
marrye
my
daughter
to
a
man
,
then
to
money
:
desiring
likewise
his
choice
to
be
for
her
goodnesse
,
and
not
for
her
goodes
,
least
if
the
knotte
should
be
knit
for
wealth
,
it
might
be
disseuered
for
pouerty
.
Licurgus
would
haue
no
dowries
to
be
giuen
with
maides
,
least
some
should
be
liked
for
riches
,
and
others
loathed
for
want
.
The
maides
of
Essenea
went
neuer
bare
faced
,
vntill
they
were
maryed
,
least
bewty
should
bee
of
more
force
then
honesty
,
esteeming
her
which
was
honest
,
neyther
to
haue
want
of
nature
,
nor
lack
of
nurture
:
So
that
Pharicles
,
I
hope
if
you
choose
,
it
shal
not
be
for
wealth
,
which
is
vanitie
;
nor
for
bewty
,
which
is
momentary
(
although
I
thank
God
she
can
neither
blame
nature
nor
fortune
)
but
onelye
for
vertue
which
is
permanent
:
for
where
the
cause
is
durable
,
there
the
effect
must
néedes
be
lasting
,
Loue
ought
to
be
like
the
stone
Armenicke
,
which
is
hardly
inflamed
,
but
once
set
on
fire
,
is
neuer
quenched
:
like
the
Emerauld
,
which
being
imprinted
,
neuer
changeth
fourme
without
breaking
.
Surely
,
Pharicles
,
I
speake
these
wordes
to
you
as
a
friende
,
and
to
Mamillia
,
as
a
father
,
wishing
well
to
you
for
good
lyking
,
and
to
her
by
course
of
kinde
:
being
willing
to
marry
my
daughter
,
but
neyther
to
buy
her
an
husband
,
nor
to
set
her
to
sale
,
vnlesse
the
price
bee
loue
,
I
mean
that
I
woulde
not
make
the
match
by
entreatie
,
nor
seeme
to
consente
lyghtlye
,
least
haste
shoulde
make
waste
.
Therefore
,
Pharicles
,
although
I
speake
largely
,
thinke
not
my
consent
is
any
profer
.
For
others
of
great
byrth
;
and
no
small
wealth
(
I
will
make
no
comparisons
)
haue
both
made
great
suite
,
and
offered
large
feofmentes
to
haue
my
good
wyll
:
yet
sith
Mamillia
did
not
loue
,
I
did
not
lyke
:
and
what
shee
doeth
nowe
,
I
am
not
priuye
to
it
:
but
if
shee
doe
,
my
minde
perhappes
may
bee
chaunged
:
for
you
knowe
olde
men
are
verye
suspitious
,
and
I
my selfe
doubte
by
the
dreade
of
others
,
wee
are
colde
of
complexion
,
and
therefore
fearefull
by
nature
,
and
will
quicklye
spye
a
padde
in
the
strawe
,
and
a
snake
in
the
grasse
,
I
perhappes
thinke
the
Moone
is
ecclipsed
,
when
she
is
but
chaunging
;
&
gesse
loue
is
lust
,
when
it
is
loyaltie
,
falshood
to
bee
fayth
,
and
trueth
to
be
treason
,
iudging
vpon
meat
with
a
sicke
stomacke
,
and
casting
wine
with
a
furred
tongue
;
construing
al
thinges
by
contraries
,
through
the
imbecilitie
of
our
witte
:
sith
euery
thing
is
the
worse
for
wearing
:
so
the
he
which
wil
court
an
old
mans
daughter
,
may
be
curteous
,
&
yet
thought
curyous
;
his
liberality
may
be
thought
prodigalitie
;
his
cleanlynesse
,
pride
and
vnthriftinesse
,
that
,
walke
as
warilye
as
you
can
,
the
olde
doter
will
suspect
him
.
Pharicles
,
I
speake
against
mine
owne
age
,
and
confesse
the
frayltie
of
my
nature
,
that
if
you
chaunce
to
finde
the
lyke
faulte
in
me
,
that
you
impute
it
not
to
peeuishnesse
,
but
to
course
of
kinde
:
For
you
,
Pharicles
,
professe
loue
to
my
daughter
,
and
I
thinke
it
is
but
dissimulation
:
you
faigne
faith
,
and
I
doubt
of
flattery
;
you
seeme
to
offend
in
excesse
,
and
I
feare
you
faint
in
defect
,
I
feare
more
then
you
can
forge
,
and
all
little
ynough
in
my
iudgement
.
For
you
,
young
gentlemen
,
nowadayes
lyke
without
loue
,
and
lust
without
lyking
:
you
fancy
euery
face
,
and
ech
sundry
moneth
you
must
haue
a
new
mistresse
,
wooing
as
you
think
,
with
great
witte
,
and
at
length
proues
without
wisdome
,
so
that
as
the
seede
is
subtiltie
,
and
the
fruite
folly
,
the
haruest
can
reape
but
little
honesty
.
Pharicles
,
I
inferre
no
particulars
,
I
told
you
my
faulte
,
and
therefore
blame
me
not
,
if
I
cannot
digresse
from
nature
,
but
speake
what
I
thinke
:
for
if
your
conscience
be
cleare
,
it
doeth
not
touch
you
;
if
it
bee
not
,
I
am
glad
I
haue
spoken
so
much
,
that
eyther
you
may
amende
,
or
els
make
an
ende
:
for
if
my
sight
fayle
me
not
,
one
you
must
doe
.
Pharicles
being
rubd
on
his
gald
backe
,
thought
Gonzaga
was
a
subti●
Fox
,
and
needed
not
to
learne
his
occupation
,
and
that
he
could
see
the
Gosling
wink
,
being
broad
waking
;
but
as
young
wittes
are
rash
,
so
they
are
ready
;
and
can
smell
a
tale
beefore
it
be
half
tolde
:
for
Pharicles
found
his
fetch
at
the
first
word
,
&
therefore
intending
to
be
as
wily
,
as
he
was
wise
,
gaue
false
fire
to
his
peece
,
thereby
to
blinde
Gonzagas
eyes
,
as
warily
as
hee
coulde
looke
and
to
winke
,
and
yet
not
be
spyed
on
this
manner
.
Sir
,
quoth
he
,
as
it
is
hard
to
hide
the
smoake
,
so
were
he
a
foole
that
would
goe
about
to
couer
it
,
and
if
fancy
must
needes
be
spyed
,
who
would
seeke
to
cloake
it
?
nature
cannot
be
restrained
,
nor
loue
kept
in
secret
:
for
the
one
will
come
to
his
course
,
and
the
other
seeme
light
amidst
the
darknes
.
I
knowing
this
,
(
although
you
mistake
me
)
neuer
thought
to
loue
where
I
might
not
come
lawfully
,
nor
to
like
,
where
eyther
the
person
or
place
should
haue
neede
of
a
vale
for
Sunne
burning
:
as
for
my selfe
,
I
neede
none
:
therefore
,
sir
,
if
I
halt
,
it
is
outright
,
that
more
maye
perceiue
it
then
a
cryple
.
But
I
hope
,
iudge
what
you
will
,
you
shal
find
me
stand
to
my
tackling
,
and
to
take
my
course
so
well
by
my
compasse
,
that
I
shall
proue
a
cunning
Pylot
,
and
to
shew
my selfe
so
chary
in
my
choyse
,
what
wares
I
chuse
,
that
I
shall
bee
a
good
Chapman
,
and
the
better
I
trust
,
in
that
I
haue
your
counsel
.
The
Lyons
whelp
taketh
euer
the
fattest
sheepe
,
when
the
old
sire
is
by
:
the
fawne
neuer
makes
so
good
choyse
of
his
feede
,
as
the
old
Bucke
;
age
speaketh
by
experience
,
and
liketh
by
tryall
,
youth
leaneth
vpon
wit
,
which
is
voyd
of
wisdom
.
Where
the
old
Faulcon
seaseth
,
there
is
euer
the
best
pray
:
therefore
he
that
will
not
be
ruled
by
age
,
shal
be
decided
by
youth
,
and
hee
that
will
not
heare
the
admonition
of
a
friend
,
shal
perhaps
feele
the
correction
of
a
foe
.
This
causeth
me
to
thank
your
counsel
,
although
I
was
determined
before
,
for
I
neuer
meant
to
loue
without
lasting
nor
fancy
for
a
time
,
least
I
my self
might
be
the
first
should
repent
it
,
but
was
fully
resolued
to
lay
my
foundation
vppon
such
a
rock
,
as
neither
the
earthquakes
of
dissention
,
nor
the
tempestes
of
trouble
may
once
be
able
to
moue
.
Now
I
know
wel
ynough
,
that
hee
that
chooseth
the
carnation
for
colour
,
should
find
it
to
haue
lesse
vertue
then
the
black
violet
;
that
the
fading
blossoms
are
more
delectable
to
the
sight
,
then
the
lasting
fruite
;
that
the
painters
colours
which
are
most
bright
,
will
soonest
loose
their
glose
;
that
nothing
so
soone
stayneth
,
as
cloath
of
lighte
colour
;
and
nothing
to
be
lesse
permanent
,
then
the
glasse
of
bewtie
,
which
beginneth
to
decay
in
the
budde
,
to
wither
in
the
blossome
,
and
if
it
commeth
to
be
fruite
,
is
rotten
before
it
be
halfe
ripe
.
The
loue
of
bewtie
,
saith
Anacreon
is
the
forgetting
of
reason
,
the
enemy
to
wit
,
and
to
be
counted
indeede
a
short
frensie
:
for
he
that
loueth
onely
for
bewty
,
wil
eyther
loath
when
age
approcheth
,
or
else
soone
be
glutted
with
plentie
:
wheras
fancy
fixed
vpon
vertue
,
encreaseth
euer
by
continuance
.
He
that
putteth
the
Adder
in
his
bosome
,
delighted
with
her
golden
skin
,
is
worthy
to
be
euuenomed
:
the
mouse
,
if
she
feede
vpon
rosealger
for
the
glistering
hue
,
deserueth
to
be
poysoned
:
if
the
fishe
will
needes
to
the
baight
,
because
it
is
of
flyes
in
Cantabria
,
it
is
her
own
folly
if
she
be
taken
:
the
bird
that
commeth
to
the
glasse
,
enticed
by
the
brightnes
,
deserueth
the
net
:
he
that
wil
choose
a
fayre
face
with
euil
conditions
,
claymeth
by
right
to
be
counted
a
foole
.
Cateline
had
not
so
much
pleasure
in
the
bewtie
of
Oristilla
,
as
he
reaped
sorow
by
her
outragious
crueltie
,
nor
won
so
much
credit
by
her
comlines
,
as
Brutus
did
of
his
wife
Porcia
for
her
curtesie
.
The
husband
of
Sempronia
for
al
her
faire
face
,
had
a
wife
of
whom
it
was
in
question
,
whether
she
were
more
prodigall
of
her
purse
,
or
liberal
of
her
honestie
,
that
I
am
sure
he
would
haue
made
a
chang
with
Gracchus
for
his
black
wife
Cornelia
.
Menelaus
,
who
had
that
earthly
Goddesse
Helena
,
reaped
for
euery
seede
of
pleasure
,
a
whole
haruest
of
sorow
,
contented
to
become
Captaine
of
Cornetto
,
&
for
her
comlynes
to
haue
her
almost
common
,
being
as
infortunate
in
his
choyce
,
as
Glitio
Gallus
was
happy
in
his
chance
,
by
wedding
Egnatia
Maximilla
:
so
that
he
which
maketh
choyce
of
bewty
without
vertue
commits
as
much
folly
as
Critius
did
,
in
choosing
a
golden
boxe
filled
with
rotten
bones
.
I
therfore
fearing
the
fetters
by
the
captiuitie
of
the
bondman
,
was
euer
careful
to
like
for
the
proportion
of
the
body
,
and
loue
for
the
qualities
of
the
minde
,
neuer
meaning
to
make
a
rusty
rapier
my
rampire
of
defence
,
though
it
haue
a
veluet
scabbarde
;
nor
my
choyce
of
any
euil
woman
,
be
she
neuer
so
proper
of
person
,
hauing
peeuish
conditions
:
least
for
euery
ynch
of
ioy
,
I
catch
an
ell
of
annoy
;
and
for
euery
drop
of
delight
,
a
whole
draught
of
despight
.
This
,
I
say
,
was
the
cause
,
Gonzaga
,
that
forced
me
to
repaire
vnto
your
daughter
,
because
the
fame
of
her
exquisit
perfection
by
nature
plentifully
placed
in
her
,
hath
rauished
euen
her
enimies
hearts
to
loue
&
like
her
:
her
grauity
in
gestures
,
her
modesty
in
manners
,
her
curtesie
in
conuersation
,
chalenged
my
lybertie
and
wonne
my
heart
her
own
for
euer
.
It
was
not
the
colour
in
her
cheekes
,
but
the
conditions
of
her
mind
;
not
her
comelinesse
,
but
her
curtesie
,
not
her
person
,
but
her
perfection
that
inchaunted
me
.
But
why
doe
I
seeke
to
try
my selfe
loyall
,
when
the
hearers
doe
deeme
me
a
lyar●
why
doe
I
bring
in
reasons
to
proue
my
troath
,
when
my
wordes
can
haue
no
trust
,
or
to
debate
the
matter
,
when
they
thinke
it
daliaunce
?
well
sir
,
I
cannot
let
you
to
think
:
but
if
I
daly
,
it
is
in
dolour
;
if
I
sport
,
it
is
in
spight
;
if
I
iest
,
it
is
without
ioy
;
and
so
tract
of
tyme
shall
try
it
.
You
apply
this
mistrust
to
your
age
,
and
suspition
to
your
old
brain
:
sure
you
maye
doe
so
:
for
I
call
the
Gods
to
witnesses
that
the
wordes
which
I
speake
,
and
the
loue
I
protest
to
Mamillia
is
verytie
without
vanity
,
trueth
without
trifling
:
fayth
without
flattery
,
as
fine
within
,
as
fayre
without
;
a
siluer
sheath
with
a
golden
dagger
,
and
in
token
she
shal
haue
both
lands
and
life
,
hand
and
heart
,
as
her
own
for
euer
.
GOnzaga
hearing
the
solemne
protestation
of
the
gentleman
,
being
as
credulous
as
suspitious
,
thought
,
what
the
heart
did
think
,
the
tongue
would
clinck
:
and
that
his
filed
speech
was
without
fayning
,
and
his
sweete
talke
without
sower
tales
,
gaue
him
his
hand
,
that
he
was
as
glad
to
haue
him
to
his
sonne
,
as
he
desirous
of
such
a
father
,
and
that
he
conceaued
a
great
contentation
of
minde
,
that
he
found
so
fitte
a
match
for
his
daughter
:
so
that
after
many
pleasaunt
parlees
on
both
sides
,
they
were
fully
betrothed
together
.
Pharicles
promising
the
next
spring
to
consummat
the
marryage
,
and
Gonzaga
prouiding
a
courtly
banquet
to
●eale
vp
the
matter
.
Which
being
ended
,
Pharicles
after
many
amiable
lookes
and
sweete
kisses
,
gaue
her
the
curteous
conge
,
and
departed
to
his
lodging
no
lesse
contented
,
then
if
he
had
obtained
Cresus
welth
,
Alexanders
empire
,
or
any
treasure
that
fortune
could
assigne
vnto
him
.
But
the
Sunne
being
at
the
highest
,
declyneth
;
the
Sea
,
beeing
at
full
tide
,
ebbeth
;
caulme
continueth
not
long
without
a
storme
;
neyther
is
happynesse
had
long
without
heauines
,
blysse
without
bale
,
weale
without
woe
,
as
by
this
new
betrothed
couple
may
be
seene
,
who
now
flowing
in
floudes
of
felitity
are
by
the
falshood
of
Pharicles
soused
in
the
seas
of
sorrow
,
exalted
to
the
hyest
degree
of
happines
,
are
driuen
to
the
greatest
extremity
of
euill
,
alate
placed
in
paradise
,
and
now
plunged
in
perplexitie
:
for
he
no
sooner
entred
his
study
,
but
espying
the
cruell
letter
of
his
mercilesse
mistresse
Publia
,
frying
in
fury
,
burning
in
rage
and
turning
his
woonted
loue
to
a
present
hate
,
euen
as
the
dog
which
byteth
the
stone
;
or
the
Bore
that
in
chase
teareth
the
trees
;
so
he
in
reuenge
of
his
choller
,
thought
to
read
ouer
this
Letter
more
for
spight
then
for
pleasure
;
more
for
lothing
then
for
loue
.
But
as
the
birde
,
when
shee
is
moste
carelesse
is
caught
of
the
fowler
,
so
Pharicles
reading
in
iest
,
found
good
earnest
;
and
was
so
caught
in
the
hay
and
taken
with
the
toyles
,
that
his
fancy
was
fettered
with
a
new
charme
,
and
his
minde
so
amazed
with
this
new
musing
,
that
he
bestowed
all
the
night
in
examining
particularly
euery
line
of
her
letter
.
And
though
the
first
part
was
sharp
and
rigorous
,
yet
he
found
the
last
to
be
mixed
with
mettal
of
more
mild
matter
,
reading
it
ouer
a
thousande
tymes
,
blaming
his
nature
,
and
condemning
his
choler
in
being
so
rash
to
refuse
meate
at
the
first
taste
,
to
reiect
the
Orenge
,
because
the
pill
was
sower
;
to
disalow
the
loue
of
Publia
,
because
she
made
chary
of
her
chastitie
,
his
new
plighted
troath
was
almost
wauering
,
and
waying
at
the
first
assault
his
feigned
fancy
,
almost
eclipsed
through
fading
folly
,
insomuch
that
the
hope
of
his
newe
luste
,
had
almoste
quenched
the
shew
of
his
newe
loue
;
the
freendlye
conclusion
of
Publia
,
had
well
nigh
raced
out
his
fayth
to
Mamillia
;
the
desire
of
his
fond
affection
so
blinded
his
vnderstanding
,
the
he
passed
not
to
peruert
both
humane
&
diuine
lawes
:
for
the
accomplishment
therof
:
no
rules
of
reason
,
no
feare
of
lawes
,
no
prickes
of
conscience
,
no
respect
of
honesty
,
no
regard
of
God
or
man
,
could
prohibit
him
from
his
pestiferous
purpose
:
for
if
lawes
had
bin
of
force
,
he
knew
his
deede
was
contrary
to
al
lawes
,
in
violating
his
sacred
oath
:
if
conscience
,
he
knew
it
terrible
:
if
honesty
,
he
knew
wit
most
wicked
:
if
God
or
man
,
he
knew
it
abhominable
in
the
sight
of
both
.
But
too
true
it
is
,
the
the
force
of
loue
,
nay
rather
the
fury
of
lust
,
doth
neither
care
for
kith
nor
kin
,
friend
nor
foe
,
God
nor
the
diuell
,
as
this
faithlesse
Pharicles
wil
proue
:
who
hauing
shrined
his
heart
by
solemn
promises
in
the
bulwark
of
Mamillias
bountye
,
yeelded
with
a
fresh
Alarm
,
giuen
by
the
remembrance
of
Publias
bewtie
,
shewing
that
the
cat
wil
to
kinde
:
that
the
woolfe
wil
be
a
deuourer
:
the
fox
wily
,
&
men
deceitful
:
for
nature
must
haue
his
course
,
their
loue
is
neuer
guided
by
reason
,
but
by
rage
:
nor
their
fancy
by
faith
,
but
by
fury
:
they
burn
in
outward
shape
as
hot
as
Aetna
,
where
their
meere
substance
is
as
cold
as
Caucasus
:
their
promises
are
loyal
,
but
the
performance
lasciuious
:
they
import
feruent
affection
,
but
it
proueth
fleshly
fancy
:
they
are
so
giuen
vnto
guiles
,
framed
to
forswearing
,
prone
vnto
periury
,
wedded
vnto
wickednes
,
&
bowed
vnto
vanitie
,
that
to
say
what
I
think
,
the
most
trusty
louer
,
that
they
make
most
account
of
,
if
he
were
throughly
sifted
,
would
shrink
in
the
wetting
,
&
proue
a
leud
leachour
:
so
that
shee
which
yeeldeth
her self
vnder
the
curteous
countenance
of
an
iniurious
man
,
is
commonly
so
wrapped
in
the
waues
of
wiles
,
that
she
is
drowned
at
the
length
in
the
deapth
of
deceit
,
&
hardly
escaped
with
the
losse
of
his
libertie
,
vnlesse
they
smell
them
betimes
:
which
is
hard
to
doe
:
for
in
their
wooing
,
they
counterfeit
simplicitie
,
and
in
their
wedding
they
shewe
their
subtiltie
,
while
they
are
sutors
,
they
are
saints
:
but
being
sold
,
they
are
serpents
:
they
wil
beare
a
painted
sheath
,
with
a
rusty
blade
:
a
faire
blossom
,
but
rotten
fruit
:
&
Doues
they
wil
needes
be
,
when
indeede
they
be
diuels
.
But
againe
to
our
Gentleman
,
whose
careful
minde
was
so
tossed
with
the
tempests
of
contrary
cogitations
,
that
as
the
vessell
born
with
the
tyde
against
the
wind
feeleth
dubble
force
,
and
is
compelled
to
yeelde
to
winde
and
waue
:
so
Pharicles
driuen
by
the
force
of
lust
,
against
the
lawes
of
loue
,
felt
dubble
dolour
,
and
was
so
diuersly
tormented
,
that
he
fel
into
these
tearmes
.
Of
al
euil
,
which
either
God
or
nature
hath
layed
vpon
man
,
there
is
noone
so
great
,
but
either
reason
may
redres
,
pleasure
asswage
,
or
mirth
mittigate
,
hearbes
heale
,
or
by
some
meanes
or
other
be
cured
:
Loue
only
excepted
,
whose
furious
force
is
so
ful
of
rancor
,
that
phisick
can
in
no
respect
preuaile
to
helpe
the
patient
,
deseruing
not
the
name
of
a
disease
,
but
of
an
incurable
mischiefe
:
yet
importing
such
a
shew
of
goodnes
,
that
it
so
inflameth
our
desire
to
purchase
it
,
that
we
wil
not
care
to
buy
it
at
an
vnreasonable
rate
:
Which
loue
hath
taken
such
deep
roote
in
me
,
as
neither
reason
can
rule
,
nor
wisdom
wield
:
it
is
so
ranckled
with
rage
,
&
infected
with
frantick
folly
,
frantick
I
may
wel
term
it
,
sith
it
is
so
light
,
as
it
seemeth
to
come
without
liking
:
so
momentary
,
as
it
sheweth
no
modesty
:
so
vnconstant
,
that
it
hath
no
one
iot
of
continuance
:
so
diuers
,
as
it
may
well
be
called
diuelish
,
more
brittle
then
a
broken
glas
:
more
wauering
than
the
wethercock
:
more
variable
in
thought
then
the
Camelion
in
hue
:
more
changable
in
deede
than
the
nightingale
in
voyce
:
now
liking
,
now
lothing
:
now
fire●
now
frost
:
colde
before
I
am
hot
:
&
hot
at
the
first
dash
.
O
fickle
loue
,
fraught
with
frailty
.
O
traiterous
hart
ful
of
trechery
.
O
cursed
conscience
,
altogether
careles
.
O
miserable
wretch
wrapped
in
wickednes
:
shal
I
requit
the
liberal
loue
of
Mamillia
with
such
disloyalty
,
returning
as
the
dog
to
my
vomit
in
liking
Publia
?
shal
I
deceiue
the
opinion
,
that
both
she
&
her
father
conceaued
in
me
,
with
such
detestable
vill
any
?
shal
I
return
the
trust
they
put
in
me
,
with
such
treason
:
shal
I
defile
my
fayth
towards
her
with
such
forged
falshood
?
shal
I
〈◊〉
so
new
fangle
to
leaue
the
one
so
lewdly
,
&
loue
the
other
so
lightly
it
is
a
common
saying
,
that
chang
is
seldom
made
for
the
better
,
&
he
is
a
foole
,
they
say
,
that
will
bily
the
pig
in
the
poke
:
or
wed
a
wife
without
trial
:
or
setle
loue
without
time
.
What
a
madnes
were
it
then
,
to
make
such
an
il
market
,
to
chop
&
chang
,
and
liue
by
the
losse
:
to
refuse
Mamillia
without
reason
,
&
chuse
Publia
without
trial
:
to
reiect
assurance
for
incertainty
:
to
fish
for
hope
,
where
I
may
satisfie
my self
with
trust
:
to
venture
vpon
one
,
of
whom
I
haue
had
no
proof
(
but
if
there
be
so
much
)
a
litle
trifling
loue
?
Wel
,
those
whelps
are
euer
blind
,
that
dogs
beget
in
hast
:
the
seed
too
timely
sown
hath
euer
smal
increase
:
he
that
leaps
before
he
looke
,
may
hap
to
light
in
the
ditch
:
he
that
settles
his
affection
in
such
speed
,
as
he
makes
his
choyce
without
discretion
:
for
his
hasty
choosing
,
may
perchance
get
a
heauy
bargain
.
Tush
,
he
that
seekes
to
restrain
loue
,
kicks
againe
the
prick
:
he
stops
the
stream
.
&
beates
the
fire
downward
,
he
wil
make
necessity
to
haue
a
law
,
&
cause
Bālams
Asse
to
speak

for
loue
is
aboue
king
or
keisar
,
Lorde
or
lawes
,
yea
euen
aboue
the
Gods
themselues
:
if
it
be
then
so
stronge
;
why
is
it
not
then
more
stedfast
?
if
it
be
so
forcible
,
why
is
it
not
fixed
?
perhaps
so
it
is
in
al
sauing
me
:
I
am
y●
od
person
,
I
am
that
one
particular
,
on
whom
Cupid
wil
shew
his
craft
,
&
decipher
his
nature
:
in
whom
al
the
contrarieties
of
loue
wil
work
their
contrary
passions
,
on
whom
Venus
will
vaunt
for
her
vaine
uassall
,
as
one
ready
to
strike
at
euery
stale
,
to
come
at
euery
cal
,
to
light
on
euery
lure
,
yea
,
and
almost
scase
on
the
emptie
fiste
,
neyther
regarding
the
ware
,
nor
the
price
:
but
leauing
the
force
for
the
first
assaulte
of
fancye
.
Oh
Gods
,
how
foolishly
doe
I
fable
?
how
my
talke
enforced
by
rage
,
is
altogether
without
reason
?
can
I
striue
agaynst
that
which
is
styrred
by
the
Starres
?
can
I
peruert
that
which
is
placed
by
the
Planettes
?
can
I
driue
out
that
,
which
is
decreed
by
the
destinies
●or
shewe
force
in
that
,
which
is
fixed
by
the
fates
?
No
,
no
,
Pharicles
,
assure
thy selfe
,
this
thy
chaunge
is
by
the
charge
of
the
Gods
,
and
thy
newe
lyking
to
some
greater
ende
:
perhappes
they
will
preuent
by
the
meanes
of
Publia
some
greate
inconuenience
,
which
should
light
vpon
thee
in
matching
with
Mamillia
.
Aeneas
,
had
he
not
setled
his
minde
vpon
Dido
?
yea
,
and
celebrated
the
rites
of
matrimonys
was
bee
not
warned
by
the
Gods
in
a
dreame
,
to
falsefie
his
fayth●
&
lay
his
loue
vpon
Lauinia
?
who
did
more
for
Iason
than
Medea
?
yet
hee
was
driuen
by
the
destinies
to
forsake
her
,
and
fixe
his
fancy
vpon
Creusa
to
whome
he
was
constant
to
the
ende
.
〈◊〉
Theseus
,
by
the
admonition
of
Bacchus
,
left
Ariadne
,
and
was
forced
by
the
fates
to
fancy
Phechia
,
with
whome
hee
remayned
as
loyall
,
as
light
vnto
the
other
:
so
perhaps
I
am
forced
by
nature
and
destinie
to
loth
Mamillia
,
and
like
Publia
:
and
if
it
bee
so
,
all
is
well
:
for
Aristotle
saieth
,
that
nature
nor
fate
neuer
framed
any
thing
amisse
:
and
though
I
offend
in
lyking
the
one
lightly
,
yet
I
wil
make
amends
in
louing
the
other
more
firmly
:
if
the
world
shal
wonder
at
my
faining
to
the
one
,
they
shal
meruail
as
much
at
my
fayth
to
the
other
:
if
abmen
talk
of
my
trechery
to
Mamillia
,
they
shal
speak
as
much
of
my
troath
to
Publia
.
Now
haue
I
surely
setled
my self
,
neuer
from
henceforth
to
lend
a
louing
looke
to
Mamillia
.
Publia
shal
be
the
planet
,
wherby
to
direct
my
doings
:
she
shal
be
the
star
,
shal
guid
my
compas
:
she
shal
be
the
hauen
,
to
harbor
in
:
the
saint
at
whose
shrine
I
meane
to
offer
my
deuotion
.
I
wil
now
put
al
fear
aside
:
for
a
faint
hart
was
neuer
fauoured
of
fortune
:
the
coward
that
feareth
the
crack
of
the
canon
,
will
neuer
proue
a
couragious
captaine
,
nor
vaunt
himself
of
victory
:
the
dastard
that
dreadeth
the
noyse
of
the
drum
,
will
neuer
come
in
the
skirmish
,
nor
were
the
flag
of
triumph
:
the
louer
that
heareth
such
a
calm
conscience
,
as
for
fear
of
his
credit
,
dare
not
match
vnder
the
dissembling
standard
of
Cupids
camp
,
shal
neuer
be
proclaimed
heire
apparant
to
Venus
kingdom
.
Therfore
sith
I
haue
setled
&
decreed
,
I
will
make
no
delay
,
for
feare
the
grasse
be
cut
from
vnder
my
feet
:
but
either
by
words
or
writing
send
an
answer
to
my
new
mistres
:
and
with
that
he
tooke
his
pen
,
and
sent
her
this
Letter
.
Pharicles
to
Publia
.
THe
phisition
,
mistres
Publia
,
that
letteth
the
sicke
patient
blood
for
the
Plurysie
,
when
tracte
of
tyme
hath
made
the
disease
incurable
,
defendeth
the
walles
when
the
Citty
is
ouerrunne
:
salues
seldome
helpe
an
ouerlonge
suffered
sore
:
it
is
too
late
to
bring
the
ruine
of
battery
,
when
the
wals
are
already
broken
:
that
shower
commeth
out
of
time
,
when
the
corne
is
rype
:
&
too
late
it
is
to
dist●ge
loue
out
of
ones
breast
,
when
it
hath
before
infected
euery
part
of
the
body
.
The
surgion
,
when
the
festring
Fistuloe
hath
by
long
continuance
made
the
sound
flesh
rotten
,
can
neither
with
le●●●iue
plaistets
,
nor
cutting
corasiues
be
cured
:
so
loue
craueth
but
only
time
to
bring
the
body
&
mind
to
bondage
.
So
your
seemely
self
seeing
me
fettred
in
the
chain
of
fancy
,
&
fast
bound
in
the
bands
of
your
bewty
,
haue
sent
me
pils
of
hard
disgestion
,
to
asswage
the
force
of
my
loue
,
&
mitigate
the
firmnes
of
my
fancy
:
but
as
the
byting
of
a
viper
ranckleth
&
rageth
,
til
he
hath
brought
the
body
bitten
to
bain
,
so
the
sight
of
your
m
person
hath
so
pearced
euery
vain
with
the
sting
of
loue
,
that
neither
the
sowernes
of
the
sauce
,
nor
sharpnes
of
the
salue
,
can
in
any
wise
preuaile
:
onely
the
milde
medicine
of
your
mercy
may
salue
the
sore
,
&
cut
away
the
cause
of
my
careful
disease
.
Sith
therfore
mistres
Publia
,
it
is
in
your
power
either
to
exalt
me
to
the
highest
degree
of
happines
,
or
driue
me
down
to
the
deepest
bottom
of
bitter
bale
:
to
place
me
in
the
princely
pallace
of
earthly
paradise
,
or
plunge
me
in
the
pit
of
perplexity
:
way
my
cause
equally
in
the
scales
of
honesty
&
equity
,
&
yeeld
me
but
according
vnto
iustice
,
which
am
a
careful
client
at
bewties
bar
:
that
is
,
to
giue
according
to
my
desert
,
and
the
desert
of
loue
,
is
loue
againe
.
And
although
the
shortnes
of
time
hath
made
no
trial
to
procure
anye
great
trust
,
yet
I
hope
the
clearnes
of
my
conscience
in
that
case
,
&
the
firmnes
of
my
faith
,
will
in
time
force
the
trueth
to
flame
bright
,
amidst
the
darkest
mists
of
distrust
:
&
againe
the
scalding
sighes
&
piteous
plaints
&
praiers
that
I
haue
powred
out
to
the
Gods
,
that
they
might
chang
your
hart
&
settled
vow
of
chart●tie
,
I
hope
when
they
shal
take
effect
,
that
they
wil
be
witnesses
of
my
good
wil.
For
since
the
receit
of
your
letters
,
if
my
words
cannot
be
taken
for
witnesses
,
yet
the
praiers
,
processions
,
pilgrimages
,
offers
&
vowes
that
I
haue
made
vnto
the
Gods
,
if
they
graunt
my
petition
,
wil
testifie
the
ioy
I
conceiued
in
the
curteous
clause
of
your
letters
,
although
I
was
almost
foundred
for
fear
,
couered
with
care
,
&
daunted
with
dread
,
at
the
rigorous
sight
of
your
first
lines
.
But
as
I
was
neuer
of
that
minde
,
to
count
him
a
couragious
captain
,
that
at
the
first
shot
of
the
canon
would
yeeld
the
ke●es
of
the
citie
:
so
was
I
euer
in
that
opinion
,
that
the
more
harde
the
combat
were
,
the
more
hauty
wer
the
conquest
:
the
more
doubtful
the
fight
,
the
more
worthy
the
victory
:
the
more
paine
I
should
take
about
the
battery
,
the
more
pleasure
to
win
the
bulwork
of
your
brest
:
which
if
I
should
abtain
,
I
would
count
it
a
more
rich
price
,
then
euer
Scipio
,
or
any
of
the
nine
worthy
won
by
conquest
,
And
that
these
words
be
vritie
,
&
not
vanity
:
troath
,
&
not
trifling
:
I
appeale
to
your
good
grace
and
fauour
,
minding
to
be
tried
by
your
curtesie
,
abiding
either
the
sentence
of
consent
vnto
life
,
or
mal●●
vnto
death
.
Yours
euen
after
death

Pharicles

PVblia
hauing
receiued
this
letter
,
perceiuing
the
constant
mind
of
the
young
gentleman
,
by
rubbing
afresh
her
half
healed
sore
,
with
the
remembrance
of
his
person
,
&
wage
of
his
perf●●nos
framing
in
her
mind
a
mirour
of
his
modesty
,
&
as
it
were
viewing
in
a
glas
the
feature
of
his
face●
the
comlines
of
his
corps
the
bewty
of
his
body
,
&
al
the
vertues
fo●
abundantly
the
flowed
vpon
him
by
nature
,
had
such
a
new
alarm
giuen
her
by
loue
,
that
the
glowing
coles
turned
to
flashing
flames
:
her
Heeting
fancy
,
to
firme
affection
:
her
lingring
liking
,
to
loyal
loue
:
as
now
she
felt
the
furious
fight
of
contrary
passions
in
her
tender
hart
,
expressing
the
heat
,
which
was
kindled
within
her
in
these
s●alding
〈◊〉
.
Alas
,
quoth
she
,
how
hath
nature
ordayned
by
her
prudent
pollicy
that
no
creature
vnder
heauen
,
but
if
he
hath
one
commodity
imparted
vpon
him
,
he
hath
an
other
inconuenience
,
as
wel
incident
vnto
him
,
&
especially
mainkind
:
who
for
euery
moment
of
mirth
,
hath
annexed
a
month
of
misery
:
for
euery
proud
puff
of
prosperitie
,
some
sower
sops
of
aduersitie
:
for
euery
mite
of
happinesse
,
a
thousand
chips
of
il
chance
:
for
euery
dram
of
felicity
,
a
whole
shewre
of
shrewd
fortune
:
&
when
the
sun
of
good
succes
shiueth
most
cleerely
,
then
comes
the
cloudes
of
●are
,
&
mists
of
mischief
,
when
they
are
most
vnlooked
for
:
so
that
I
perceiue
it
is
so
common
,
as
true
,
how
amongst
humane
thinges
,
nothing
is
stable
in
one
state
.
The
lark
,
when
she
is
most
carelesse
,
&
mounteth
most
highest
vnto
the
sky
,
with
cheerful
notes
,
is
then
seased
on
by
the
hawk
:
&
a
woman
walking
in
the
wide
fields
of
freedom
,
&
larg
leaze
of
liberty
,
secure
from
care
,
is
then
soonest
caught
in
the
linckes
of
loue
,
&
fetters
of
faney
,
restrained
with
a
straigh●
band
of
bondage
,
wherin
nature
&
fortune
hath
also
most
vnequally
prouided
:
for
the
most
tender
tree
is
euer
laden
with
the
most
fruit
,
&
the
smallest
stalk
hath
euer
the
greatest
corn
:
the
weakest
wit
&
youngest
yeeres
,
whom
neither
experience
nor
age
hath
taught
any
skil
,
is
euer
forced
to
bear
the
lode
son
burden
of
loue
:
wheras
riper
yeeres
are
seldom
or
neuer
trubled
:
so
that
the
weakest
is
euer
driuen
to
the
wal
:
&
they
that
worst
may
hold
the
candle
,
which
procureth
the
greater
pain
:
for
as
the
young
colt
,
at
the
first
breaking
snuffles
at
the
snafflle
;
&
thinks
the
bit
bitter
;
so
the
yoke
of
loue
seemeth
more
heauy
vnto●nee
,
because
I
neuer
felt
,
the
force
of
it
before
.
But
what
need
I
make
this
exclation
against
fortune
,
sith
I
am
not
then
first
,
nōr
shal
not
be
the
la●
?
whom
the
frantick
frensie
of
flittering
fancy
hath
with
more
wrong
,
&
greater
vamage
pictiously
expressed
,
that
now
I
soe
&
try
it
by
experience
,
that
there
is
no
fish
so
fleeting
,
but
wil
come
to
the
baite
:
no●oa
so
wilde
,
but
wil
stand
at
the
gaze
:
no
hawk
so
haggard
,
but
wil
stoup
at
the
lure
:
no
Niesse
so
ramage
,
but
wil
be
reclaimed
to
the
limes
:
no
fruit
so
fine
,
but
the
caterpiller
wil
consume
it
:
no
adamant
so
hard
,
but
wil
yeeld
to
the
file
:
no
metal
so
strong
,
but
wil
bend
at
the
stamp
:
no
maid
so
free
,
but
loue
will
bring
her
to
bondage
&
thraldom
:
&
so
I
cal
it
bondage
,
fond
foole
,
to
be
bound
vnto
bewty
,
if
I
be
a
slaue
,
yet
shal
I
be
subiect
vnto
vertue
,
is
it
thra●dōe
to
liue
in
league
with
him
,
who
wil
like
me
in
my
youth
,
and
loue
me
in
mine
age
?
in
whom
I
shal
find
nothing
,
but
only
pleasure
&
contentation
,
who
wil
be
the
hauen
of
my
happines
,
wherin
I
may
rest
,
&
the
parte
of
my
prosperity
,
to
defend
me
from
the
tempests
of
froward
fortune
,
&
throwd
me
from
the
bitter
blasts
of
bale
?
Shal
I
repent
me
,
sith
my
bargain
is
good
,
or
complain
of
the
losse
of
liberty
,
sith
I
haue
made
a
chang
for
a
more
worthy
thing
?
shall
I
grudge
when
the
gods
are
agreed
,
or
defer
it
,
sith
the
destinies
driue
it
;
or
frown
,
sith
my
fortune
frames
it
?
no
,
Pharicles
is
my
saint
,
&
him
wil
I
serue
?
he
is
my
ioy
,
&
him
will
I
enioy
:
he
hath
laid
the
siege
,
&
he
shal
fack
the
citie
:
he
hath
abod
the
battery
,
&
he
shal
haue
the
bulwark
of
my
breast
:
he
hath
fought
the
combat
,
&
he
shall
be
victor
in
the
conquest
:
for
I
cannot
be
so
vnnaturall
to
reward
his
loue
with
lothing
,
so
wout
reason
to
defraud
him
of
his
right
,
so
diuelish
,
for
his
deepe
desire
,
to
giue
him
a
dolful
dish
of
dispair
.
No
,
no
,
I
haue
setled
with
my self
,
the
if
euer
I
marry
,
Pharicles
shal
be
the
man
I
wil
match
with
:
&
therfore
,
as
I
haue
driuen
him
with
delaies
,
&
fed
him
with
folly
:
so
now
I
wil
send
him
a
setled
answer
of
my
good
wil
&
fauour
:
as
I
haue
giuen
him
cutting
corasiues
,
so
I
wil
send
him
confects
of
comfort
:
as
I
haue
bin
fearful
to
shew
my
liking
for
the
better
trial
so
now
wil
I
be
bold
to
shew
my
loue
in
token
:
of
a
sure
trust
.
But
Publia
,
be
not
too
forward
,
for
fear
he
misconstrue
thy
meaning
,
or
think
sinisterly
of
thy
light
consent
,
least
thy
proffe●ed
goodwill
proue
not
halfe
worth
the
wearing
.
Doth
not
Pharicles
say
,
himself
,
that
where
the
conquest
is
doubtful
,
the
vicory
,
is
most
to
be
counted
?
that
castle
that
hath
longest
battery
,
is
thought
the
richer
booty
?
are
not
those
pearles
which
are
scarsly
found
,
&
hardly
gatten
ouer
of
the
greatest
value
?
the
spice
,
which
the
marchant
through
raging
rockes
and
perrilous
seas
bringeth
home
,
hath
a
swee●er
taste
,
than
that
which
is
easily
gotten
,
hardly
come
by
,
warily
kept
.
The
maid
that
by
long
suit
&
much
trauaile
is
obtained
,
by
how
much
the
more
she
was
hard
in
the
getting
,
by
so
much
the
more
she
wil
be
sweet
in
the
wearing
:
she
,
which
in
her
virginity
is
chary
of
her
chastity
,
in
her
mariage
wil
be
as
wary
of
her
honesty
:
therfore
I
wil
send
Pharicles
such
a
potion
,
as
shal
be
sower
in
the
mouth
,
&
sweet
in
the
maw
,
sharpe
in
eating
,
&
plesant
in
disgesting
.
And
with
that
she
sent
him
a
letter
,
to
this
effect
.
Publia
to
Pharicles
.
IT
is
hard
M.
Pharicles
to
purchase
credit
by
the
praise
of
any
thing
,
with
either
defect
of
nature
,
or
want
of
arte
do
blemish
:
&
as
impossible
it
is
to
be
beleeued
without
sufficient
witnes
,
wher
either
son
or
cause
●oth
make
the
plea
imperfect
:
for
praise
in
a
thing
vnworthy
,
is
a
manifest
sign
of
flauery
.
Who
would
think
he
spok
in
ernest
,
which
extolled
the
cr●w
for
her
colour
:
the
hare
,
to
be
harty
:
y●
moulde
,
for
her
sight
:
the
dolphin
,
for
his
straight
back
:
sith
lack
of
such
perfection
in
them
,
condemnes
thy
praiser
for
a
parasit
?
I
,
therfore
knowing
in
my self
no
desert
to
driue
you
to
such
deep
desire
as
you
profes
,
am
the
hardlyer
induced
to
beleeue
your
words
:
because
the
meanes
of
my
bewty
merits
no
such
praise
,
as
you
attribut
vnto
it
,
it
procureth
lesse
credit
to
your
talk
,
so
that
I
take
them
forwords
of
course
,
rather
than
for
tales
of
truth
,
thinking
&
fearing
to
find
in
that
fairest
rose
,
a
foule
canker
:
&
in
finest
speech
,
foulest
falshood
.
It
is
giuen
to
the
wolf
by
nature
,
to
be
cruel
:
to
the
lion
,
to
be
fierce
:
to
the
fox
subtilnes
:
&
as
wel
it
is
ingrafted
in
man
,
both
by
nature
&
eduratiō
,
to
be
dissembling
:
so
that
it
is
a
setled
sentence
amongst
them
:
be
y●
cannot
di●●emble
,
cannot
liue
:
&
he
that
cannot
with
a
fewe
filed
words
bring
a
maide
into
a
fooles
paradise
,
cannot
loue
.
These
things
,
&
these
faigned
flatteries
of
men
considered
,
Pharicles
,
with
the
smal
acquaintance
I
haue
with
you
,
mightiustly
driue
me
into
the
deep
den
of
distrust
,
&
almost
sink
me
in
the
surging
seas
of
suspition
:
but
that
the
secret
goodwil
with
I
haue
borne
you
long
time
,
wil
neither
suffer
me
to
conceaue
such
mistrust
,
nor
to
conceale
any
longer
the
fire
of
my
fancy
,
but
must
of
necessity
giue
place
,
wher
the
flam
bursteth
forth
by
force
.
Think
therfore
Pharicles
,
that
the
sowersauce
I
sent
you
,
was
to
cast
your
stomack
:
that
the
salues
of
suspect
was
to
search
the
sores
of
dissimulation
:
that
the
taints
of
distrust
was
to
feel
the
depth
of
the
wound
:
that
my
denial
was
for
the
greater
trial
:
that
my
straitnes
in
words
was
no
strangnes
in
mind
,
but
to
try
the
truth
of
your
goodwil
:
for
if
the
sower
taste
of
my
talk
had
quatted
your
stomack
,
I
wold
haue
thoght
it
altogether
queasy
:
if
the
salues
of
suspect
had
found
the
sore
but
a
smal
blam
:
if
the
taints
had
tried
the
wound
ful
of
dead
flesh
:
or
if
one
daunt
of
denial
had
eased
your
courage
,
&
proued
you
as
crauēly
a
coward
,
as
the
ventrous
knight
,
that
finding
the
first
encounter
combersom
,
giueth
ouer
the
quest:
then
might
I
wel
haue
thought
your
loue
light
,
your
fancy
fickle
,
your
faith
fading
,
as
il
to
be
liked
,
&
worse
to
be
blamed
,
then
the
hound
,
which
at
the
first
default
giueth
ouer
the
chase
:
but
sith
you
stood
to
your
tackling
amidst
the
deepest
waues
of
denial●
&
neuer
shrunk
for
al
the
shewres
of
repulsion
,
assure
your self
,
you
haue
gained
one
in
lieu
of
your
trauel
,
whose
faith
&
fancy
is
so
fixed
vpon
〈…〉
〈…〉
scortched
with
the
bewty
of
mamillia
before
he
was
enamored
with
the
person
of
Publia
:
now
lyking
,
now
lothing
,
as
the
sick
patient
,
whose
stomack
is
but
quasie
:
yet
as
the
wind
after
often
changing
remaineth
long
in
one
quarter
:
so
Pharicles
,
in
amends
of
his
fleeting
fancy
towards
Marmillia
,
determined
to
be
alwaies
constant
with
Publia
.
Which
determination
had
such
euill
successe
,
as
it
was
the
cause
of
his
exile
:
for
after
he
knew
Mamillia
heard
of
his
dissembling
,
he
conueied
himself
closly
into
Sicillia
,
traueling
forthen
his
iourney
,
pilgrim
like
:
but
wher
his
intent
was
to
remain
,
no
māknewe
.
But
as
soone
as
I
shal
either
hear
,
or
learn
of
his
aboa●
,
looke
for
newes
by
a
speedy
Post.
