LANCASHIRE
LOVERS

THE
EXCELLENT
HISTORY
OF
PHILOCLES
and
DORICLEA
.
CHAP.
I.
Of
the
Descent
and
Parentage
of
Doriclea
.
NEare
to
that
antient
Towne
of
famous
and
time-honoured
Gaunt
;
for
her
antiquity
of
Site
no
lesse
memorably
recorded
,
then
for
those
eminent
actions
of
her
princely
progenitors
,
renowned
;
there
sometimes
dwelled
one
Audrogeus
,
a
Gentleman
of
approved
esteeme
:
having
borne
offices
of
account
and
quality
under
his
Soveraigne
:
wherein
he
ever
demeaned
himselfe
to
persons
of
all
conditions
with
such
equity
and
equality
,
as
none
knew
him
,
but
accounted
him
an
honour
and
ornament
to
his
Countrey
.
This
Gentleman
tooke
to
wife
one
Euryclea
,
of
good
descent
:
a
woman
excellently
endowed
with
many
choice
and
select
vertues
:
so
as
,
those
exquisite
parts
wherewith
she
was
graced
,
expressed
to
her
Countrey
the
native
worth
of
that
family
,
from
whence
shee
descended
.
These
two
,
amongst
other
worldly
blessings
,
wherewith
Gods
providence
had
singularly
enriched
them
,
were
made
happy
in
an
hopefull
progeny
.
And
of
th●se
,
in
a
vertuous
,
discreet
and
religious
Daughter
called
Doriclea
;
one
,
whose
fame
admitted
no
blemish
;
whom
as
Nature
had
beautified
with
many
extraordinary
graces
,
so
her
carefull
Parents
were
no
lesse
ready
to
adorne
those
native
se●ds
,
with
such
Education
as
might
accomplish
those
promising
beginnings
.
For
which
purpose
,
They
provided
her
of
such
Masters
,
as
might
fit
her
in
all
generous
Sciences
.
One
for
musicke
,
dancing
,
and
a
proper
or
gracefull
posture
;
another
for
her
Needle
;
another
for
knowledge
of
the
Tongues
.
Nothing
was
awanting
her
that
might
conferre
the
least
light
or
lustre
to
so
faire
and
well-composed
a
temper
.
Nor
was
shee
lesse
apt
to
receive
,
nor
firme
to
reteine
whatsoever
was
taught
her
.
For
she
was
of
a
docile
and
industrious
disposition
:
affecting
nothing
more
then
to
learne
,
nor
distasting
anything
more
then
to
glory
in
ought
that
she
had
perfectly
learned
.
Nor
was
it
strange
that
so
much
care
or
cost
should
bee
bestowed
upon
her
:
considering
,
she
was
the
onely
daughter
,
and
consequently
the
darling
of
her
Mother
.
One
,
in
whom
she
treasured
many
faire
hopes
▪
and
for
whose
future
preferment
she
inlarged
a
provident
care
.
For
high
were
the
aymes
at
which
they
levelled
her
Fortunes
:
being
as
curious
in
their
choice
,
as
shee
in
her
prime
flower
of
youth
resolute
,
never
to
exchange
her
estate
.
Her
desires
were
confin'd
to
an
harmelesse
ambition
of
knowledge
:
she
measured
no
day
without
a
line
:
bestowing
so
well
the
Lampe
of
her
life
,
as
she
was
ever
casting
forth
some
light
or
other
to
inlarge
the
Prospect
of
her
inner
house
.
For
the
highest
pitch
of
her
emulation
was
,
in
a
pious
imitation
of
such
as
had
descended
from
her
house
,
to
accommodate
her
more
knowing
abilities
.
In
a
faire
resemblance
of
that
noble
Roman
Virgin
,
who
made
this
her
resolution
:
That
her
Life
and
Knowledge
should
manifest
to
the
world
,
that
shee
was
the
true
Daughter
of
such
Parents
:
and
that
her
house
received
no
derogation
from
her
,
from
which
shee
had
her
beginning
.
Truth
is
,
her
Family
,
as
it
was
worthily
to
be
ranked
with
the
best
:
so
had
it
brought
forth
many
eminent
scienes
,
whose
thriving
plantation
had
conferr'd
much
honour
on
their
Nation
.
Amongst
which
ONE
,
who
though
he
seemed
a
profest
Favorite
to
all
youthfull
pleasures
;
and
as
sociable
in
his
waies
,
and
pleasantly
discursive
as
if
he
had
beene
a
downe-right
Agent
of
the
time
,
preferring
his
pleasures
before
any
other
private
mentall
employment
:
yet
did
it
appeare
unto
the
world
,
that
he
en●oy'd
more
divine
parts
then
a
vulgar
judgement
could
either
judge
or
take
notice
of
.
For
sundry
excellent
Workes
tasting
both
of
Lampe
and
Judgement
were
by
him
composed
,
though
under
an
others
name
published
:
which
expressed
the
ability
of
his
pen
,
and
the
affected
privacy
of
his
mind
.
Nor
could
shee
reflect
upon
the
excellence
of
their
parts
who
had
derived
their
prime
beginnings
from
her
House
:
but
out
of
a
vertuous
emulation
shee
held
it
a
derivative
duty
to
imitate
them
:
though
not
in
such
exactnesse
as
might
seeme
to
equall
their
perfection
:
yet
in
a
well
disposed
Zeale
to
fit
herselfe
with
the
best
accommodations
and
provision
she
could
,
to
draw
neare
them
in
imitation
.
Nor
is
it
to
bee
doubted
,
but
native
seedes
and
sprinklings
of
goodnesse
propagate
themselves
to
posterity
:
and
beget
in
their
successors
not
onely
a
desire
,
but
ability
to
imitate
and
retaine
,
what
their
Predecessors
in
their
commendable
lives
exprest
.
For
though
Wit
nor
Learning
be
no
feffements
of
Fortune
:
yet
shall
we
finde
in
the
posterity
of
prompt
and
pregnant
Parents
,
most
commonly
resemblances
of
that
quicknesse
and
preparednesse
in
their
children
,
which
being
seconded
by
constant
and
continued
desires
to
imitate
whatsoever
they
see
worthily
observed
,
or
observably
presented
:
(
Will
and
Power
becomming
such
equall
concomitants
and
assistants
)
cannot
but
produce
some
notable
effect
:
as
might
bee
instanced
in
none
better
then
in
this
our
Doriclea
;
who
directed
all
her
actions
to
the
improvement
of
her
honour
,
as
in
the
whole
Course
of
her
Education
you
shall
perceive
hereafter
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
Education
of
Doriclea
.
MInes
low
laid
are
ever
the
richest
:
yet
the
purest
Ore
,
retaines
something
of
Earth
,
till
it
bee
refined
.
There
is
no
Creature
so
pregnant
,
or
for
native
parts
so
inabled
;
but
wanting
the
refinement
of
Education
,
all
that
precious
Ore
which
it
derived
from
Nature
is
but
in
the
lumpe
,
till
Education
have
searched
,
purged
and
refined
it
from
all
those
mouldy
and
brackish
mixtures
or
interveynings
of
Earth
:
that
native
source
from
whence
it
produc●t
its
first
forme
.
Never
did
Nature
bestow
her
gifts
in
an
ampler
measure
nor
fuller
manner
then
shee
streamed
them
upon
those
noble
Roman
Matrons
,
Cornelia
,
Aurelia
.
Lelia
,
Paula
,
Portia
,
Octavia
,
Sulpitia
,
Virginia
,
Lucretia
:
Excellent
were
their
endowments
:
full
of
genuine
worth
their
naturall
ornaments
;
yet
had
all
these
lost
much
of
their
beauty
,
had
they
rested
so
and
derived
from
Art
no
lustre
to
accomplish
that
beauty
.
This
moved
the
Parents
of
those
vertuous
Matrons
,
to
ripen
these
seedes
which
Nature
had
so
freely
bestowed
,
with
these
gracefull
beamelings
of
Art
,
to
perfect
that
which
Nature
had
planted
,
and
accomplish
what
so
loving
a
mother
had
moulded
.
Never
had
that
brave
Berenice
wonne
so
much
ground
,
nor
gain'd
such
command
in
the
eye
of
her
beholder
;
Neither
had
that
stately
presence
of
majesticke
Sophonisba
made
an
imperiall
heart
captive
to
her
smile
;
Nor
that
love-attracting
Cleopatra
soveraigniz'd
so
much
upon
such
princely
Commanders
:
had
not
something
more
then
the
gifts
of
Nature
accompanied
them
.
These
,
as
they
had
a
sufficient
portion
of
beauty
to
take
the
Sense
:
so
had
their
Education
so
exactly
polished
those
outward
parts
,
as
they
wrought
strangely
upon
the
Conceit
.
For
to
be
seene
in
Musicke
;
to
expresse
a
singular
grace
in
the
Carriage
of
a
dance
;
to
discourse
with
an
unaffected
eloquence
;
to
have
judgement
to
distinguish
of
those
divine
ayres
and
active
straines
of
Poesy
;
Lastly
,
not
onely
to
relate
▪
but
to
reconcile
difference
in
relations
of
History
;
These
are
they
,
which
farre
above
all
outward
Faires
attract
love
,
and
promise
a
Continuance
so
long
;
as
no
new
Choice
may
procure
●
Change
:
nor
suffer
the
least
surreptitious
Conceit
of
any
forraigne
fancy
to
seaze
on
their
enamoured
brests
:
having
made
such
a
vertuous
and
divine
Choice
,
as
it
were
impiety
to
dreame
of
a
Change
.
These
were
the
principall
motives
which
induced
Androgeus
and
Euryclea
,
the
tender
Parents
of
Doryclea
,
to
provide
for
her
such
Masters
as
might
accomplish
her
by
their
Principles
of
breeding
,
in
such
distinct
knowledges
as
might
best
suit
with
her
condition
;
and
expresse
her
with
most
winning
grace
in
the
sight
of
such
with
whom
shee
consorted
.
Nor
were
these
,
to
whose
direction
shee
was
committed
,
more
serious
in
teaching
,
nor
exact
in
practising
,
then
shee
was
quicke
in
receiving
,
and
firme
in
reteyning
.
For
her
Muslcuke
,
though
naturally
shee
stood
not
affected
to
it
▪
being
rather
addicted
to
retyrednesse
and
privacy
;
yet
seeing
it
was
her
Parents
desire
,
she
declined
from
her
owne
will
,
to
satisfie
their
command
to
whom
shee
ought
herselfe
.
And
herein
shee
grew
such
a
proficient
,
as
none
with
more
varietie
and
lesse
affectation
ever
wrought
upon
the
affection
.
Yet
would
she
never
bee
moved
to
discover
her
perfection
in
this
kinde
,
in
any
publicke
place
:
so
farre
she
was
from
ostentation
,
and
so
humbly
affected
,
as
whereinsoever
shee
was
praised
,
shee
imputed
it
to
an
over
esteeme
of
their
opinion
who
praised
her
;
reteyning
ever
that
modest
conceit
,
or
rather
disesteeme
of
her
owne
abilities
,
as
ever
redounded
more
to
her
honour
.
To
repeate
sundry
Cantzonets
and
enlivened
measures
composed
by
herselfe
(
were
it
not
too
digressive
from
the
Scope
and
Object
of
our
Historie
)
I
should
here
addresse
my
penne
:
But
my
ayme
shall
be
rather
briefly
to
shadow
,
then
to
draw
out
to
the
full
body
the
presentment
of
so
excellent
a
piece
.
Howsoever
,
those
who
were
of
judgement
have
confirm'd
thus
much
for
her
:
That
never
was
instrument
married
to
voyce
with
more
harmony
,
then
it
was
,
when
exercis'd
by
Doriclea
.
Nor
was
shee
lesse
gracefull
in
her
Posture
or
Carriage
:
retayning
such
a
modest-virgin
state
;
as
those
who
observed
her
,
could
neither
taxe
her
of
scorne
,
nor
of
too
carelesse
neglect
.
Affable
she
could
be
without
being
childish
:
and
keepe
her
distance
without
arrogance
.
Never
could
there
appeare
more
gracefull
state
in
a
more
humble
heart
:
desiring
ever
rather
to
serve
others
in
their
vertuous
designes
,
then
to
observe
others
rendring
her
praise
for
her
deserts
.
Neither
was
she
so
carried
away
with
these
,
as
to
forget
what
might
better
sort
with
her
quality
,
and
what
might
longer
attend
her
,
then
these
Eare-charming
ayres
of
harmony
.
For
her
Needle
,
she
made
Dorcas
her
Pattern
:
she
was
ever
tasking
herselfe
to
some
worke
or
other
:
wherein
she
made
Charity
her
object
,
by
preparing
for
the
naked
a
Cover
.
Lastly
,
for
knowledge
in
Tongues
(
though
most
men
be
of
opinion
that
one
is
enough
for
any
woman
)
she
profited
so
exceedingly
,
as
she
reteyned
the
very
accent
and
sound
with
such
propriety
,
as
she
became
more
easily
to
be
admired
then
imitated
;
and
herein
more
admired
,
by
how
much
her
Elocution
was
free
,
native
and
unaffected
.
Thus
in
all
these
became
Doriclea
an
incomparable
proficient
:
so
that
,
as
she
brought
with
her
into
the
world
an
excellent
disposition
in
affecting
what
was
good
and
meriting
applause
:
so
had
the
improvement
of
her
Education
so
accomplish'd
her
,
as
no
expression
received
life
from
her
,
which
deserv'd
not
due
praise
.
CHAP.
III.
How
her
Parents
,
treasuring
their
hopes
,
and
addressing
their
Cares
on
her
,
sought
to
bestow
her
.
NAture
is
no
lesse
ready
to
advance
,
then
produce
;
to
bring
up
,
then
bring
forth
;
to
take
care
for
their
well-being
,
then
their
first
being
.
This
wee
see
exemplified
in
every
Creature
,
who
out
of
a
tender-native
intimacy
,
prepares
for
the
supportance
,
succour
and
sustenance
of
those
young
Ones
who
are
bred
of
her
.
Which
Care
extends
and
dilates
it selfe
more
amply
to
Creatures
indowed
with
reason
:
who
,
as
they
are
the
noblest
of
all
others
in
respect
of
their
Image
and
feature
:
so
are
they
more
apprehensive
of
the
necessities
of
their
owne
by
course
of
Nature
.
It
is
true
indeed
what
that
Divine
Morall
sometimes
observed
,
farre
more
certaine
is
a
Parents
care
then
the
share
of
his
Comfort
;
yet
,
so
delightfull
is
the
constancy
of
this
care
,
being
directed
to
them
,
and
for
their
improvement
whom
they
so
tenderly
love
,
that
their
Care
becomes
a
Solace
,
their
watchfull
Providence
a
cheerefull
Expence
of
so
many
choice
and
select
houres
for
the
advancement
of
their
owne
.
This
induced
the
Carefull
Parents
of
our
accomplished
Doriclea
,
to
bestow
their
best
endeavours
in
providing
a
Convenient
match
for
their
Daughter
;
in
whom
they
had
treasured
so
rich
hopes
,
as
her
reverend
feare
and
filiall
obedience
promised
nothing
lesse
then
much
comfort
to
their
age
,
from
those
prime
expressions
of
her
youth
.
Neither
were
the
favourites
of
her
fame
(
mounted
on
the
wings
of
vertue
)
lesse
slow
in
performing
those
faire
Offices
which
so
excellent
a
Creature
merited
.
For
as
her
irreproveable
demeanure
,
reteined
ever
amongst
her
familiars
,
passages
highly
conducing
to
her
honour
:
So
those
,
who
knew
her
not
but
by
report
,
retained
no
lesse
strength
nor
vigour
of
desire
to
court
so
incomparable
a
Mistris
,
whom
the
fame
of
her
vertues
with
other
personall
indowments
had
so
fairely
displayed
.
Beauty
,
said
the
antient
Lyricke
,
could
not
want
Corrivals
:
but
when
Vertue
presents
herselfe
to
make
the
house
beautifull
throughout
,
it
cannot
but
attract
many
Surveyers
.
Unlesse
the
judgements
of
men
become
so
miserably
deluded
and
distracted
,
as
that
young
debaucht
Gallants
was
,
who
could
not
endure
the
presence
of
his
Mistris
because
shee
was
vertuous
.
But
pure
and
refined
judgements
who
make
their
Choice
not
wholly
by
the
outward
semblance
,
or
that
skinne-deepe
beauty
,
which
the
winter
of
age
no
sooner
rivels
,
then
shee
surrenders
her
glory
:
but
by
those
inward
perfections
,
which
would
make
Zenophanes
himselfe
to
be
a
wooer
:
fixe
mainely
upon
that
which
makes
fancy
truly
happy
.
And
both
these
might
a
stayd
affection
finde
stored
and
treasured
in
Doriclea
:
Being
such
an
one
,
as
to
describe
her
truely
,
she
was
faire
without
art
,
and
in
that
native
beauty
,
reteyned
such
a
winning
favour
,
as
she
did
nothing
but
what
did
infinitely
become
her
.
Tall
she
was
not
,
but
of
that
equall
stature
,
as
her
well-tempered
proportion
could
neither
taxe
her
of
too
much
,
nor
accuse
Nature
of
taking
her
measure
too
little
.
To
use
Hyperboles
,
I
hate
it
:
yea
,
and
in
so
exquisite
a
Subiect
,
as
the
spreading
fame
of
her
owne
actions
might
seeme
Hyperboles
unto
others
,
holding
themselves
so
unfit
to
aspire
to
such
perfections
:
or
too
farre
short
to
reteine
the
least
hope
of
seconding
them
in
any
proportionable
measure
of
imitation
.
But
howsoever
,
the
carefull
Parents
of
Doriclea
aymed
at
nothing
more
then
to
bestow
her
on
some
person
of
quality
,
that
in
an
equall
line
of
love
and
merit
their
affections
might
close
:
and
make
every
day
sound
like
a
marriage
day
in
the
joynt
Correspondence
of
their
affectionate
Choice
:
Doriclea
,
ever
indowed
with
a
native
modesty
,
pretended
to
her
Parents
the
tendernesse
of
her
youth
,
or
her
indisposition
to
health
,
purposely
to
protract
time
:
whereas
,
indeed
,
it
was
the
aversenesse
of
her
mind
from
a
marryed
life
:
desiring
rather
under
the
tender
tuition
of
her
Parents
to
bestow
her
youth
,
then
to
fix
her
fancy
on
any
.
For
that
constant
affection
shee
reteyned
to
privacy
(
as
I
formerly
told
you
)
rebaited
the
heate
of
Loves
assaults
.
Neither
did
she
desire
without
much
instancy
to
frequent
any
publike
meeting
:
but
rather
to
exercise
her
mind
in
reading
or
discoursing
with
some
of
her
intimate
acquaintance
;
with
whom
she
lived
and
conversed
in
such
sweet
and
familiar
manner
,
as
their
delightfull
Society
estrang'd
her
thoughts
from
the
thought
of
a
Lover
.
But
her
Parents
,
ever
harping
upon
one
string
;
expounded
all
this
aversenesse
and
declining
of
hers
to
a
modest
bashfull
shame
,
which
would
in
time
weare
out
,
and
set
a
better
face
upon
the
proffers
of
Love
.
And
sometimes
they
would
not
stick
privately
to
take
their
daughter
under-hand
advising
her
to
entertaine
a
Fortune
whilest
it
was
tendered
;
and
how
it
was
their
sole
Care
that
she
might
bee
advanced
and
preferred
to
her
liking
.
How
they
grew
old
,
and
to
leave
her
to
the
wide
World
,
could
not
chuse
but
perplex
them
.
Then
would
they
nominate
divers
young
gentlemen
,
whose
estates
and
descents
might
deserve
her
entertainement
.
But
no
Rhetorick
could
bee
more
dissorting
or
discording
to
her
eare
.
The
discourse
of
a
Nuptiall
rite
was
so
disrelishing
a
note
,
as
there
was
no
ayre
she
affected
lesse
;
apprehending
such
content
in
her
present
virgin
state
,
as
to
live
and
dye
ther●in
,
she
desired
nothing
more
.
But
this
must
not
serve
her
turne
;
privacy
must
give
way
to
fancy
:
a
retyred
Lawne
to
a
discourse
of
Love
.
By
her
Mothers
provident
Care
,
she
must
learn
to
study
the
care
of
a
Mother
;
Otherwise
,
this
estranging
her
thoughts
from
giving
way
to
fancy
,
will
be
interpreted
a
peevish
kinde
of
pertinacy
.
Suppose
her
then
rather
out
of
an
enforced
direction
,
then
any
freebred
affection
,
entring
parley
with
a
Suitor
;
whose
quality
how
unequally
it
suted
or
sorted
with
her
disposition
,
in
whom
Art
and
Nature
had
wrought
such
perfection
,
you
shall
perceive
hereafter
.
CHAP.
IV.
How
Camillus
became
her
Suiter
,
and
how
she
rejected
him
through
distaste
of
his
breeding
.
CHoice
begets
Care
:
in
which
Choice
,
it
many
times
happens
that
the
best
are
reiected
,
while
persons
of
meaner
condition
are
admitted
.
You
may
imagine
that
Doriclea
cannot
want
for
store
,
being
so
excellently
accommodated
both
for
outward
indowments
and
promising
estate
.
Where
Portion
and
Proportion
meet
,
they
cannot
but
bee
attractive
Objects
to
any
one
that
either
affects
profit
or
pleasure
.
For
the
Worldling
,
as
his
first
love-question
is
,
What
h'as
she
?
wherein
if
hee
faile
in
his
expectance
,
his
affection
is
so
weakely
feathred
,
as
his
flight
is
but
short
,
because
his
desires
of
having
were
long
.
So
the
voluptuous
or
sensuall
Amorist
,
who
makes
sense
to
usher
judgement
;
his
onely
question
is
;
Is
shee
an
handsome
wench
?
His
fancy
is
in
his
eye
.
Hee
cannot
have
enough
of
beauty
;
wherein
should
the
object
whereto
he
is
presented
,
be
in
any
sort
defective
:
his
love
as
it
deriv'd
his
first
light
from
sense
:
so
it
expires
at
first
sight
.
Hee
will
not
give
his
judgement
leave
to
converse
with
her
;
to
see
what
inward
beauty
may
inwardly
accomplish
her
.
A
feather
of
this
wing
was
our
penne-feather'd
Camillus
,
whereof
we
are
now
to
discourse
:
a
right
Lapwing
,
who
had
left
his
nest
before
he
●●ad
shaken
the
shell
from
his
head
.
Howsoever
,
on
he
must
to
be
a
Suiter
,
before
he
has
well
learn'd
how
to
spell
Lover
.
Something
of
Sense
hee
h'as
in
him
;
and
this
informs
him
,
that
love
is
a
fine
thing
:
but
what
use
to
make
of
that
Fairing
he
knowes
not
.
A
fault
,
I
must
confesse
,
so
epidemicall
,
as
to
many
marriages
become
infected
with
this
Colts-evill
.
This
made
that
experienc'd
Sage
complaine
so
much
of
these
indiscreet
haire-brain'd
Couplings
,
that
I
wonder
,
quoth
he
,
that
every
Age
begets
not
a
new
Bedlam
.
This
Camillus
,
being
one
whom
Fortune
had
more
favoured
,
then
his
Parents
Education
had
qualified
,
became
admitted
amongst
others
of
the
same
List
,
to
this
too
deserving
a
Choice
for
such
a
Changeling
.
A
right
Changeling
!
Not
for
Changing
his
affection
to
his
Choice
:
for
he
had
never
as
yet
attained
to
such
happinesse
,
as
to
aspire
to
the
Title
of
a
Servant
,
or
to
be
stiled
the
deserving
favourite
of
a
Mistresse
.
But
in
that
hee
seemed
as
if
he
had
beene
changed
in
the
Cradle
:
for
so
unlike
hee
was
to
those
from
whom
hee
had
descended
,
as
never
appeared
any
Sprigge
more
ingenerous
,
derived
from
so
free
and
fruitfull
a
Stocke
.
This
unseemely
lover
,
or
amorous
Lubber
,
being
put
on
by
his
mother
to
advance
him
forward
to
this
match
;
addresseth
his
ill-speeding
course
to
our
incomparable
Doriclea
:
and
as
one
,
who
had
never
beene
bred
in
the
Court
of
Complement
,
nor
of
Manners
neither
,
in
his
rusticke
way
thus
accoasteth
her
:
and
that
I
may
lesse
erre
in
his
dialect
or
forme
of
speech
,
I
shall
use
his
owne
countrey
tone
,
though
I
cannot
so
well
personate
his
posture
,
which
no
doubt
,
conferred
on
this
Swaineling
no
lesse
honour
.
Camillus
Speech
to
Doriclea
.
YAw

Iantlewoman

with
the
saffron
snude
,
you
shall
know
that
I
am
Master
▪
Camillus
,
my

anely
white

.
And
she
wad
han
you
of
all
loves
to
wad
me
:
And
you
shall
han
me
for
your
tougher
.
We
han
store
of
goodly
Cattell
:
for
horne
,
hare
,
and
leather
,
peepe
here
and
peepe
there
,
aw
the
wide
dale
is
but
snever
to
them
.
My
Mother
,
though
shee
bee
a
vixon
,
shee
will
blenke
blithly
on
you
for
my
Cause
:
And
we
will
ga
to
the
Dawnes
,
and
Slubber
up
a
Sillibub
:
and
I
will
looke
babbies
in
your
eyes
,
and
picke
silly-cornes
out
of
yaur
toes
:
And
wee
will
han
a
Whiskin
at
every
rush-bearing

a
Wassell
Cup
at

;
a
Seed-cake
at

;
and
a
lusty
Cheese-cake
at
our
Sheepe-wash
.
And
will
not
aw
this
done
bravely
,
Iantlewoman
?
How
this
strange
kinde
of
wooing
might
promise
it selfe
any
hope
of
winning
,
I
leave
to
your
judgements
who
know
the
Art
and
Posture
of
Suting
:
but
how
it
relished
her
discreet
eare
,
may
sufficiently
appeare
by
this
answer
to
her
home-spunne
Suiter
.
Doricleas
answer
to
Camillus
.
PRetty
Servant
!
you
tell
mee
your
mother
sent
you
to
wed
me
;
but
of
all
loves
you
must
stay
till
the
banes
be
askt
:
and
perchance
before
the
third
time
of
asking
you
will
be
of
an
other
mind
.
Fie
young
Gentleman
,
will
such
a
brave
sparke
as
you
,
that
is
your
Mothers
White-boy
undoe
your
hopes
,
in
marrying
such
a
Countrey
Ioan
as
I
am
?
Besides
,
what
know
you
but
I
may
prove
untoward
,
and
that
will
bring
your
Mother
to
her
Grave
;
make
you
(
pretty
babe
)
put
finger
i
th'
eye
,
and
turne
the
doore
quite
off
the
hinges
.
Nay
,
besides
all
this
;
how
will
you
brooke
to
heare
shriking
of
a
Child
,
and
rocking
of
a
Cradle
?
The
scouling
of
a
wife
,
the
scoulding
of
a
Nurse
,
with
a
pad
in
the
straw
,
and
a
nest
of
hornets
buzzing
through
all
the
house
?
Returne
then
my
sweet
amorous
Servant
,
the
same
way
you
came
:
be
wise
before
you
leape
,
and
then
I
hope
you
will
not
leape
at
all
.
Marriage
is
a
madde
age
,
how
can
it
then
sort
or
suite
with
you
,
that
has
so
much
Sage
in
your
pate
?
Bee
a
good
Childe
,
and
keepe
your selfe
from
the
rodde
,
and
I
hope
I
shall
never
bring
you
to
so
unhappy
a
Lot
.
Simple
Camillus
tooke
this
for
good
Counsell
:
nor
did
his
weake-fledg'd
fancy
inspire
him
with
any
fresh
reply
:
home
hee
goes
to
his
mother
like
a
soone-rebaited
Suiter
:
for
as
his
affection
received
life
onely
from
an
others
direction
:
without
any
preceding
grounds
of
discretion
,
so
it
as
quickly
expired
,
being
so
weakely
and
Childishly
grounded
.
Vpon
whose
departure
,
Doriclea
begun
thus
to
expostulate
with
herselfe
not
without
pleasure
,
this
rude
encounter
of
her
white-liver'd
suiter
:
descanting
on
all
his
uncivill
passages
in
this
manner
.
What
an
excellent
purchase
,
expostulation
touching
Camillus
.
Doriclea
,
mightst
thou
injoy
in
this
Gooseling
?
One
of
competent
fortunes
;
and
of
a
disposition
so
pliable
,
as
one
might
easily
mould
him
to
their
owne
bent
.
One
,
that
no
question
,
some
of
our
wanton
Gallants
would
not
sticke
to
admit
;
nor
bee
dainty
to
entertaine
for
a
Servant
;
nay
,
for
a
Consort
;
meerely
to
shroud
their
owne
shame
,
or
to
maintaine
their
bravery
with
the
revenues
of
his
decreasing
estate
.
Hee
would
supply
the
place
well
enough
of
a
servile
Vsher
,
with
an
affected
grace
to
carry
her
Misset
;
open
her
pue
;
goe
before
her
in
the
Street
,
and
keepe
his
distance
;
or
conduct
her
more
peculiar
Servant
by
a
posterne-gate
to
her
licentious
Lodging
.
But
are
these
the
fruits
of
wedlocke
?
Must
an
husband
be
made
a
stale
to
sinne
,
or
an
inlet
to
his
owne
shame
?
O
no
Doriclea
!
Vertuous
affection
cannot
incline
to
such
pollution
.
Those
,
who
make
Choice
of
Husbands
,
purposely
to
make
them
their
slaves
,
are
domesticke
Tyrants
.
Those
,
who
make
choice
for
profit
,
make
filth
and
ordure
their
sole
object
of
Conjugall
honour
.
Those
,
who
receive
a
Servant
into
their
bosome
,
because
he
is
eminent
in
place
,
make
locall
precedency
the
ground
of
their
fancy
,
which
cannot
but
close
in
distaste
,
when
an
higher
Corrivall
shall
ascend
his
place
.
But
none
of
these
merit
the
stile
of
love
.
H●avens
blesse
me
!
How
should
the
reasonable
Soule
(
unlesse
all
his
prime
faculties
were
drowned
and
drenched
in
the
lees
of
sense
)
affect
such
a
Swad
,
whose
elocution
suck't
from
the
dugge
,
and
whose
formality
t'ane
from
the
Cow-sheard
,
taste
so
little
of
love
,
as
discretion
would
not
endure
to
bestow
on
it
so
pure
a
name
?
For
say
,
Doriclea
,
is
it
possible
to
purchase
fancy
with
a
sheepish
story
?
or
with
a
foolish
relation
of
.
what
fortunes
had
dropt
downe
upon
them
?
And
such
was
Camillus
his
encounter
:
proper
ornaments
for
a
Suiter
.
Well
,
if
ever
fancy
seize
on
me
;
which
is
,
as
yet
,
farre
estranged
from
mee
,
I
hope
to
fixe
on
such
a
Choice
,
as
these
weake
respects
shall
never
appeare
to
bee
the
sole
ayme
of
my
affection
.
For
to
love
,
where
Discretion
bids
me
loath
,
were
an
unhappy
fortune
:
such
a
marriage
day
,
were
a
Tragicke
day
;
introducing
no
other
Scenes
then
presentments
of
discomfort
to
an
unfortunate
Consort
.
But
why
doe
I
suffer
my
thoughts
to
converse
with
love
;
seeing
I
have
had
so
little
familiarity
with
it
all
my
life
?
Hitherto
have
I
beene
devoted
to
privacy
;
wherein
I
have
ever
reaped
such
absolute
content
,
as
to
forgoe
it
,
or
with
some
other
condition
to
exchange
it
,
were
to
lose
my selfe
,
and
deprive
an
inlarged
minde
of
that
freedome
which
the
whole
Empire
of
love
cannot
afford
.
Thus
expostulated
Doriclea
with
herselfe
,
touching
this
affectionate
tender
of
Camillus
.
Whose
choice
indeed
her
Parents
did
not
much
approve
;
because
his
shallow
Conceipt
made
him
altogether
incapeable
of
love
.
So
as
,
Doriclea
might
well
enough
dispense
with
this
Match
:
and
live
in
expectance
of
a
more
equall
and
generous
Mate
.
CHAP.
V.
How
Mardanes
a
rich
Countrey
Chuffe
solicited
her
affection
:
and
how
●e
laboured
to
procure
her
love
by
indirect
meanes
;
when
the
proffers
of
a
faire
personall
estate
could
not
doe
it
.
WEalth
is
ever
a
strong
Agent
for
enforc'd
marriages
.
Whereon
there
shines
ever
an
ominous
starre
;
there
sits
still
an
heavy
fate
.
But
whence
comes
this
;
but
either
from
avaritious
Parents
,
who
preferre
fortunes
before
all
other
more
deserving
abilities
:
holding
him
only
worthy
to
be
their
sonne
on
whom
the
Sunne
doe's
shine
?
or
from
the
wanton
affection
,
or
too
profuse
expence
of
light
Mistresses
;
who
make
Choice
of
rich
Servants
to
make
Sponges
of
them
?
Their
long
bestowed
providence
must
be
imployed
in
affording
to
their
disdainfull
Consorts
,
excesse
of
maintenance
.
And
these
kinds
of
coy
Amorists
,
for
most
part
,
use
to
articulate
and
indent
with
those
they
intend
to
marry
;
in
what
rank
they
shall
be
maintained
;
how
accoutred
;
in
what
manner
accommodated
;
what
place
they
may
by
right
challenge
.
Coach
and
Caroach
gaudily
distinguished
,
must
be
forthwith
provided
:
a
Summer-house
sumptuously
furnished
,
with
such
conveyances
,
as
her
rich
Chuffe
might
visibly
see
,
were
not
his
d●luded
eyes
ever
fixt
on
his
Hidropick
Chest
,
what
she
intends
hereafter
,
by
those
private
passages
contrived
in
each
corner
.
But
neither
did
the
Parents
of
Doriclea
stand
so
much
ingaged
to
any
wordly
respect
,
as
it
had
power
to
attract
their
affections
to
it
;
nor
was
Doriclea
so
earthly-bred
,
as
to
make
Fortune
the
sole
and
absolute
Object
of
her
fancy
:
which
might
be
instanced
in
nothing
more
fully
then
in
the
entertainment
of
her
next
Suitor
,
whereof
we
are
to
discourse
as
it
fals
now
upon
our
History
,
in
this
manner
.
There
was
one
Mardanes
,
a
rich
Grazier
;
one
,
who
had
all
his
time
fed
on
the
better
side
o
th'
bush
.
This
rich
Chrone
,
who
made
an
Idoll
of
his
Coine
,
made
suit
to
Doriclea
,
to
obtaine
her
love
.
Rich
and
mighty
proffers
he
made
her
;
pretending
to
throw
himselfe
and
Fortunes
at
her
feet
,
so
he
might
enjoy
her
.
Neither
did
her
discreet
Parents
much
oppose
it
,
nor
incline
to
it
,
but
refer'd
all
to
their
Daughters
choice
:
preferring
her
liking
before
any
other
temporary
proposition
.
But
how
weakly
this
Mardanes
proceeded
,
and
how
unprosperously
he
succeeded
,
shall
appeare
by
the
issue
:
which
fell
so
crosly
to
his
expectance
,
imagining
his
rich
and
plenteous
estate
to
be
an
Adamant
attractive
enough
to
the
dullest
fancy
,
as
he
inverted
the
means
of
proceeding
directly
,
to
an
odious
and
impious
practise
;
seeking
to
procure
her
love
by
meanes
of
Sorcery
.
Suppose
him
then
first
,
after
his
long
sollicitancie
had
received
a
repulse
,
contesting
in
this
sort
with
his
affections
:
the
grounds
whereof
as
they
were
weakly
planted
,
so
were
they
as
unhappily
closed
.
What
;
Passion
upon
his
Repu●●e
.
rejected
Mardanes
?
Has
thy
worldly
policie
improved
thy
fortunes
so
meanly
,
as
to
be
contemned
in
such
just
and
ample
proffers
of
fancie
?
What
would
she
desire
,
if
any
mortall
store
may
raise
her
to
an
happinesse
of
estate
,
which
she
may
not
enjoy
in
making
her
choice
of
thee
?
Yea
,
but
there
i●
such
a
disparity
in
yeares
,
as
her
smooth
youth
cannot
endure
these
deepe
furrowes
of
age
.
Paritie
ever
begets
best
liking
betwixt
either
partie
.
Whereas
her
fresh
flourishing
Prime
would
brook
ill
to
be
imbraced
by
thy
seere
and
saplesse
armes
.
Besides
,
were
she
never
so
loyall
to
thy
bed
,
rumour
would
not
be
silent
:
conceits
would
be
working
,
and
jealous
feares
in
every
corner
stirring
.
Report
would
impeach
her
,
were
her
continent
desires
never
so
restrained
,
nor
to
thee
confined
.
It
becomes
her
then
,
as
shee
tenders
her
honour
,
to
make
choice
of
such
an
one
who
may
more
equally
suit
her
,
and
with
a
fresher
and
more
agile
youth
better
content
her
.
Well
,
then
this
is
all
that
can
be
objected
why
thy
suit
is
not
received
,
thy
proffers
accepted
;
thou
art
old
and
declining
,
Mardanes
;
this
age
is
a
terrible
bugbeare
in
the
eye
of
fancy
.
The
desire
may
be
strong
,
but
the
Lampe
is
quickly
in
the
snuffe
.
There
wants
oyle
to
feed
it
:
and
if
it
should
cast
forth
some
sparklings
,
it
is
soone
extinguished
.
By
this
I
gather
,
it
were
wisely
done
in
my
particular
,
if
I
laboured
to
smother
this
secret
flame
,
before
it
increase
or
break
forth
in
more
violence
.
For
by
marying
one
who
expects
more
than
she
can
finde
,
thou
maist
finde
that
which
thou
never
expected
.
Take
heed
then
lest
thy
own
Dogs
know
thee
not
when
thou
comest
home
.
It
is
thine
owne
fault
if
thou
fallest
into
Actaeons
fate
.
Thy
blood
is
yet
uncorrupted
,
yellows
has
not
tainted
it
.
Thou
deservest
well
to
lose
the
libertie
of
thy
present
estate
,
by
making
thy selfe
a
Slave
to
one
who
holds
thee
unworthy
of
her
choice
.
All
this
works
much
with
reason
;
b●
who
knowes
not
,
but
a
small
portion
o●
reason
weighs
heaviest
in
the
scale
of
affection
?
I
confesse
,
I
am
blame-worthy
in
my
pursuit
of
such
a
Mistresse
,
whose
fancie
〈◊〉
so
farre
aliened
from
me
,
as
she
relisheth
no
aire
worse
then
what
I
breathe
,
no
place
worse
then
where
I
remaine
,
no
Motion
worse
then
what
I
make
.
I
know
likewise
▪
no
Receipt
to
be
more
soveraigne
,
no
Cordiall
more
usefull
,
then
that
approved
Experiment
of
an
amorous
Artist
:
When
●
Man
bleeds
at
the
nose
,
and
through
abundance
of
blood
is
brought
in
danger
of
his
life
,
the
Physitian
lets
him
blood
in
his
arme
,
to
turne
the
course
of
the
blood
an
other
way
.
If
love
issue
out
in
too
violent
a
streame
,
it
is
to
bee
cooled
by
a
temperate
expostulation
with
fancie
:
or
else
by
fixing
our
eye
upon
some
more
attractive
Object
,
divert
the
course
of
that
madding
passion
.
An
excellent
Rule
,
but
who
can
follow
it
?
The
Lover
is
ever
blinded
with
affection
towards
his
beloved
.
Nor
was
there
ever
yet
so
discreet
an
Elder
,
that
could
both
love
and
become
wise
together
.
Excuse
then
or
condemne
mee
who
will
;
seeing
I
am
thus
farre
imbarkt
in
Loves
adventure
,
though
my
aged
fancie
may
bear
the
name
of
Dote●
age
,
I
will
on
,
or
perish
with
dishonour
.
This
strong
resolution
of
Mardanes
brought
him
on
to
a
desperate
experiment
,
as
the
sequele
of
our
History
shall
discover
:
meane
time
,
we
will
returne
to
our
late-solicited
Doriclea
,
and
see
what
plight
she
is
in
,
since
the
rejection
of
this
violent
Suiter
.
Doriclea
having
returned
Mardanes
her
expresse
answer
;
and
that
with
such
modesty
as
beseemed
one
of
her
quality
;
beseeching
him
to
excuse
her
,
in
that
she
could
not
entertaine
so
deserving
a
Servant
,
to
whom
she
stood
infinitely
obliged
for
his
love
,
seeing
her
disposition
was
altogether
averse
from
the
least
thought
of
marriage
:
but
if
ever
she
affected
that
state
,
as
her
hopes
could
never
aspire
to
such
fortunes
as
he
had
proffered
,
so
she
meant
to
fix
her
fancy
where
it
should
with
equality
of
yeares
be
suited
.
And
so
wishing
him
all
happinesse
(
the
highest
period
of
his
unhappinesse
)
retyring
to
a
private
A●bour
,
she
dismissed
her
discontented
〈◊〉
.
In
which
retirement
,
recollecting
these
distinct
passages
and
passions
of
her
two
relinquished
Lovers
,
she
exprest
her selfe
thus
.
Doriclea
,
thou
hast
here
kindnesse
profferd
thee
in
abundance
.
One
presents
his
suit
,
and
brings
with
him
plenty
of
youth
,
fortunes
,
folly
.
An
other
,
no
lesse
rich
in
yeares
then
estate
,
cloyes
thee
with
golden
Mountaines
of
inducing
promises
:
but
my
rest
is
already
set
in
the
neglect
of
both
these
.
Fortunes
,
though
youth
promise
them
,
cannot
ingage
me
,
where
youth
is
clothed
with
folly
.
Nor
shall
proffers
of
honour
or
preferment
surprize
me
,
where
disparity
of
yeares
may
beget
in
our
mindes
the
like
inequality
.
As
Vertue
is
my
Object
:
so
I
doubt
not
but
if
ever
I
change
my
state
,
she
will
finde
a
Consort
for
me
,
that
may
improve
my
content
.
By
this
time
had
her
Mother
entred
the
Garden
,
into
an
Arbour
whereof
her
Daughter
had
retired
:
so
as
,
hearing
her
Mother
call
her
by
her
name
,
she
came
forth
unto
her
;
and
upon
her
demand
,
imparted
unto
her
the
answer
she
had
returned
to
Mardanes
:
wherewith
her
Mother
,
though
she
seemed
at
first
to
dis-relish
it
,
was
inwardly
well
pleased
,
desiring
rather
that
her
Daughter
should
bestow
her selfe
on
one
,
whose
youth
might
suit
with
her
content
,
then
such
an
one
,
whose
fortunes
though
they
were
great
,
yet
might
his
age
beget
in
her
fancy
a
contempt
.
CHAP.
VI.
How
Philocles
,
whom
her
Parents
had
entertained
for
her
Schoolemaster
,
tooke
occasion
privately
,
but
shadowingly
,
to
impart
his
affection
to
her
:
and
with
what
seeming
scorne
his
motion
was
received
.
AMongst
others
whom
the
Parents
of
Doriclea
had
entertained
to
instruct
their
Daughter
in
good
literature
,
with
other
usefull
Principles
sorting
well
with
the
accomplishment
of
one
of
her
quality
:
there
was
one
Philocles
commended
to
them
;
whose
singular
parts
deserved
approvement
with
the
best
.
For
hee
had
bestowed
much
precious
time
,
not
without
answerable
profit
and
improvement
,
in
the
University
.
Where
he
became
for
his
time
such
an
excellent
Proficient
▪
as
much
was
expected
from
him
:
nor
had
he
doubtlesse
,
frustrated
their
expectance
,
might
he
have
beene
partaker
of
his
desires
;
in
residing
where
he
wished
,
and
planting
where
he
so
much
profited
.
But
his
course
of
Academick
Studies
became
diverted
,
being
call'd
back
into
the
Countrey
.
Where
he
continued
not
long
,
till
he
was
preferred
to
the
Familie
of
Androgeus
.
During
all
which
time
,
he
demeaned
himselfe
so
commendably
,
as
there
was
none
of
what
quality
so
ever
,
but
conceived
infinite
delight
in
his
company
.
For
his
discretion
had
sufficiently
inform'd
him
in
the
distinction
of
times
:
when
to
be
grave
and
serious
;
when
pleasant
and
ingenious
.
And
though
he
knew
how
to
argue
Syllogistically
,
and
play
the
Sophister
wittily
:
yet
so
modest
was
he
in
the
whole
time
of
his
reside
there
,
as
he
was
never
observed
to
presse
any
Argument
,
no
,
though
urged
,
without
much
instancy
.
A
rare
quality
in
a
Scholar
:
who
,
for
most
part
,
is
apt
to
make
Logick
his
Subject
in
each
society
.
Whereas
discretion
will
rather
moderate
too
unseasonable-vehement
reasonings
in
that
kinde
,
then
become
too
forward
a
Champion
in
entring
the
List
upon
every
unnecessary
occasion
.
Neither
had
Philocles
,
of
whom
we
are
now
to
discourse
,
possest
himselfe
more
strongly
of
the
opinion
and
good
conceit
of
the
Parents
of
Doriclea
,
who
had
taken
a
speciall
observance
of
the
care
,
ind●●try
,
and
singular
modesty
of
this
her
Tutor
:
but
that
tender
tinder
of
affection
became
likewise
to
sparkle
a
little
in
that
pure
Virgin-bosome
of
Doriclea
:
Albeit
,
so
composed
were
her
thoughts
,
so
divinely
moderate
her
de●ires
,
as
she
chused
rather
to
smother
,
and
therein
suffer
for
her
fancy
,
then
ingage
her
unadvised
affection
to
a
publique
discovery
.
In
the
same
manner
did
our
Philocles
suffer
;
for
so
constantly
had
his
liking
seated
it selfe
on
the
towardly
disposition
of
Doriclea
,
as
now
upon
the
expiration
of
the
years
of
her
tuition
,
instead
of
a
severe
Master
,
he
becomes
a
sincere
Lover
.
Long
had
he
expected
what
the
issue
would
be
of
her
late
Suitors
affectionate
encounters
:
wherein
Doriclea
had
beene
ever
desirous
to
take
his
advice
:
whose
counsel
,
doubtlesse
,
would
conduce
weakly
to
their
availe
:
and
having
now
perceived
,
how
lightly
she
entertained
such
ignoble
Servants
:
and
that
her
discreet
fancy
seemed
rather
to
aime
at
personall
worth
,
then
the
rubbish
of
Earth
:
Hee
imagines
a
faire
opportunity
to
be
now
offer'd
him
of
imparting
his
minde
freely
to
her
,
in
whose
purchase
he
might
finde
stored
an
incomparable
treasure
.
Revenues
hee
had
none
to
proffer
her
:
having
the
constant
fortunes
of
a
Scholer
;
which
like
two
Lines
meet
together
in
one
Centre
,
equally
closing
in
the
fate
of
a
younger
Brother
.
Yet
observe
his
modesty
!
Many
times
had
hee
resolved
to
discover
his
love
,
which
some
contrary
passions
ever
prevented
.
Sometimes
hoping
hee
might
prevaile
,
and
enjoy
what
he
sought
:
other
sometimes
,
wholly
despairing
to
reape
what
his
care
had
sown
.
Now
would
he
prepare
himselfe
for
a
set
speech
;
but
no
sooner
came
he
in
her
presence
,
then
as
one
driven
to
an
exta●ie
,
&
wholy
deprived
of
the
benefit
of
memory
,
he
only
discovered
his
fancy
by
the
intentive
fixing
of
his
eye
:
other
language
he
could
finde
none
:
silent
admiration
was
the
sole
Orator
of
his
affection
.
At
last
,
recollecting
his
love
distracted
thoughts
,
and
bethinking
with
himselfe
,
with
that
amorous
Youth
in
the
Pastorall
,
how
she
whose
fancie
he
besought
was
but
a
Woman
:
and
that
an
unkinde
repulse
was
the
worst
entertainment
he
could
possibly
expect
,
he
takes
to
him
heart
of
grace
and
after
many
cold
qualmes
to
perplexed
Lovers
best
knowne
,
with
the
best
boldnesse
he
could
,
he
thus
encounter'd
her
.
Scholer
shall
I
call
you
,
Speech
to
Doriclea
.
or
your
Masters
Mistresse
?
Your
years
of
tuition
are
now
expired
:
your
yeares
have
taught
you
now
to
learne
Woman
.
And
shall
I
receive
no
guerdon
for
my
long
attendance
,
save
only
an
acknowledgement
of
my
Service
?
A
great
part
of
the
prime
of
my
youth
have
I
here
bestowed
in
your
Fathers
house
;
where
mine
highest
care
was
your
proficience
:
nor
did
your
increase
in
knowledge
fall
short
of
my
expectance
.
You
have
read
,
how
Iacob
for
his
seven
yeares
service
,
received
from
Laban
his
Leah
.
Wherewith
Doriclea
interrupting
him
,
said
;
And
if
my
Father
had
any
such
bleare-ey'd
Daughter
,
you
should
have
my
consent
to
enjoy
her
.
But
pray
you
good
Sir
(
quoth
Doriclea
)
whence
commeth
this
discourse
,
or
whereto
direct
you
it
?
H
'as
my
Father
fallen
in
any
manner
short
of
what
was
promised
you
;
or
deducted
ought
from
that
annuall
Pension
hee
conferred
on
you
,
that
you
should
thus
upbraid
us
in
any
disregard
to
your
service
?
No
,
Mistresse
,
(
answered
Philocles
)
I
have
amply
tasted
of
his
bountie
;
his
liberall
exhibition
towards
me
,
hath
farre
exceeded
any
abilities
in
mee
of
requitall
.
If
I
have
any
cause
to
complaine
,
the
ground
thereof
ariseth
from
your
neglect
,
and
so
you
may
be
pleased
to
conceive
it
.
From
mine
,
said
Doriclea
?
Good
Sir
,
shew
me
in
what
particular
,
I
have
neglected
any
office
of
respect
to
your
deserving
selfe
!
Of
all
vices
,
I
must
ingenuously
tell
you
,
I
have
ever
constantly
hated
that
of
ingratitude
.
Conscious
I
am
,
Heaven
knowes
,
of
too
many
;
yet
of
this
,
my
thoughts
have
been
ever
so
freely
cleared
,
as
I
cannot
remember
wherein
you
may
pretend
any
just
cause
of
taxing
mee
in
this
nature
.
O
yes
Mistresse
,
answered
he
!
I
have
taught
you
what
I
perceive
you
were
as
apt
to
forget
,
as
you
were
at
first
to
get
:
and
in
forgoing
that
one
only
Lesson
,
you
have
implyed
a
neglect
of
my
instruction
.
You
may
well
remember
,
for
it
is
not
so
long
since
you
got
it
by
heart
,
how
I
told
you
the
signification
of
Amo
,
and
how
you
were
to
decline
it
.
Neither
have
I
forgot
it
,
so
farre
▪
said
she
,
as
I
meane
to
make
use
of
it
.
For
the
Active
I
shall
ever
generally
approve
it
:
but
for
the
Passive
,
I
never
mean
to
entertaine
it
.
What
may
Amo
then
signifie
,
quoth
Philocles
?
I
love
,
said
Doriclea
;
and
why
do
you
decline
,
quoth
he
,
from
so
sweet
a
signification
?
Because
(
answered
she
)
it
was
one
of
your
first
Lessons
to
teach
me
how
to
decline
it
.
Herein
I
doe
but
observe
your
Lesson
,
and
is
this
in
me
any
transgression
?
No
,
Doriclea
,
No
,
said
Philocles
;
but
my
desire
is
that
you
would
exercise
the
fruit
and
effect
of
that
Lesson
.
I
will
not
tell
you
how
much
he
loves
you
,
who
first
read
that
Lesson
to
you
.
But
were
there
transparent
Lights
in
his
Bosome
,
you
might
easily
discerne
,
and
consequently
affirme
,
that
there
were
something
in
him
who
deserved
your
affection
.
Deserved
my
affection
(
answered
Doriclea
)
Surely
,
I
doubt
not
,
but
my
Fathers
care
has
provided
a
better
Jointure
then
a
Schoolehouse
for
his
Daughter
.
Trust
me
Sir
,
if
this
be
your
Guerdon
which
you
expect
for
your
care
and
serious
instruction
;
I
am
very
likely
,
for
my
part
to
prove
unthankfull
still
:
your
motion
falling
so
farre
short
of
all
hope
of
promotion
.
Nay
,
I
must
tell
you
,
Sir
,
that
you
have
so
deceived
my
opinion
,
as
where
before
I
bore
your
person
all
respect
,
as
to
a
serious
and
industrious
Master
;
your
uncivile
presumption
(
for
a
better
title
I
cannot
bestow
of
it
)
shall
henceforth
teach
me
to
dispense
with
that
respect
:
and
if
you
seasonably
desist
not
,
make
my
Father
acquainted
with
your
boldnesse
.
In
such
scorn
I
hold
your
Motion
,
as
I
can
finde
no
passion
strong
enough
to
encounter
with
your
indiscreet
affection
.
With
which
words
,
as
one
seemingly
above
all
measure
,
irreconcileably
incensed
,
she
departed
:
leaving
her
disconsolate
Philocles
to
converse
with
the
Aire
:
or
like
a
melancholy
Scholer
,
to
enter
parley
with
his
own
sullen
Saturnine
thoughts
.
But
so
strangely
became
he
divided
from
himself
,
as
the
very
Organs
of
his
Tongue
had
lost
the
faculties
of
speech
:
his
eyes
,
as
if
affrighted
with
some
Meteor
,
stood
staring
,
without
distinguishing
the
Object
they
fixt
upon
.
All
was
out
of
order
with
this
amorous
Scholer
:
till
at
last
taking
a
little
breath
,
he
vented
his
dis-passionate
griefs
in
this
manner
.
Is
it
so
,
unhappie
Philocles
?
Vncivill
presumption
:
seeing
privacie
freed
me
from
the
one
;
and
my
humilitie
from
the
other
?
But
all
this
sufficeth
her
not
:
her
inraged
passion
mounts
yet
higher
above
the
banks
.
She
has
denounced
on
thee
a
sentence
,
if
thou
de●●st
not
from
thy
suit
.
Her
Father
must
be
made
acquainted
:
and
consequently
thy
future
hopes
derived
from
his
favour
,
expired
.
And
herein
have
you
charm'd
me
Doriclea
;
I
shall
surcease
to
expresse
,
what
my
thoughts
shall
ever
reteifie
.
Nay
,
I
will
turne
dissembler
with
mine
own
heart
:
and
learne
to
decline
from
what
I
love
most
.
You
shall
have
no
cause
hereafter
to
tax
me
of
boldnesse
:
in
the
company
of
those
you
better
love
,
I
shall
hold
my
distance
;
Rejoice
when
you
are
pleased
in
the
presentment
of
a
deserving
Su●ter
▪
and
heartily
wish
your
mindes
may
close
in
one
harmonious
Consort
together
.
And
if
this
will
not
expiate
my
offence
,
I
will
go
further
,
to
regaine
my
peace
.
An
Academick
life
shall
receive
me
,
which
may
in
time
restore
to
me
that
liberty
,
which
since
this
my
occasionall
reside
in
the
Countrey
becomes
unhappily
estranged
from
me
.
This
said
,
he
retired
;
bearing
the
clearest
countenance
that
so
troubled
a
minde
could
bring
forth
:
resolving
never
to
renew
his
Suit
;
but
if
he
could
not
weare
out
those
impressions
of
love
,
which
had
writ
such
deepe
Characters
in
his
heart
,
to
remove
the
occasion
by
dividing
himselfe
from
the
Object
of
his
affection
:
and
exchanging
a
Countrey
love
with
an
Academicall
life
.
CHAP.

.
The
discourse
Doriclea
used
next
day
at
Table
,
being
encouraged
by
her
Parents
indulgence
:
alledging
by
way
of
Argument
,
that
she
wondred
how
Julia
,
Augustus
his
Daughter
could
detract
so
much
from
her
Princely
descent
,
as
to
entertaine
least
thought
of
loving
Ovid
;
and
how
a
Schoolemaster
durst
attempt
the
Sollicitancy
of
an
Emperours
Daughter
.
PErplexed
Philocles
could
not
conceive
more
passion
in
Doriclea's
disesteeme
;
then
Doriclea
apprehended
motives
of
content
from
the
affection
Philocles
had
profest
.
Yet
to
cloath
fancy
with
policy
,
both
of
these
must
stand
at
equall
distance
:
and
expresse
not
so
much
as
the
least
beamling
of
their
true
zeale
in
presence
.
For
Philocles
,
he
durst
not
,
being
already
charm'd
with
her
thre●ts
:
and
for
Doriclea
,
she
would
not
,
to
try
what
temper
hee
was
made
of
.
A
dangerous
hazard
,
I
nust
confesse
it
is
,
to
t●ifle
thus
with
love
,
and
by
playing
with
the
flame
,
to
endanger
the
fndging
of
their
wings
:
but
so
well
composed
was
Doriclea
,
so
vertuously
loyall
her
affection
,
and
that
winged
with
such
continent
desres
,
as
they
ever
impaled
themselves
within
the
lists
of
modesty
:
Yea
▪
she
would
not
stick
sometimes
to
give
liberty
to
the
quicknesse
of
her
conceit
:
by
making
choice
of
some
discourse
purposely
to
amate
Philocles
:
and
shadowingly
pretend
a
discovery
of
his
late
proffer'd
and
professed
fancy
.
As
it
chanced
one
day
,
when
her
Parents
and
her selfe
were
at
Table
together
,
where
through
a
native
tender
indulgence
which
they
had
ever
shown
to
their
Daughter
,
she
had
liberty
to
expresse
her
conceit
upon
any
Subject
.
By
means
of
this
liberty
,
which
she
alwaies
used
with
much
modesty
,
she
took
occasion
to
enter
into
a
discourse
by
way
of
argument
,
touching
the
familiarity
which
appeared
betwixt
Augustus
his
Daughter
and
the
Poet
Ovid
:
wherein
she
proceeded
in
this
manner
.
Amongst
all
other
occasionall
Subjects
,
wherein
my
small
Reading
has
informed
me
;
there
is
nothing
that
occurres
unto
me
more
strangely
then
that
boldnesse
,
which
I
finde
in
that
ingenious
Ovid
,
with
the
Emperour
Augustus
his
Daughter
.
How
a
Poet
,
whom
even
that
wisest
of
Philosophers
,
Plato
himselfe
,
had
long
since
banished
his
Common-wealth
;
and
whose
height
of
fancy
some
of
our
ancient
Sages
have
esteemed
a
meere
phrensie
;
holding
Poetry
to
be
the
Devils
wine
:
and
a
Poeticall
Dimension
such
a
distraction
,
as
it
infatuated
the
understanding
,
and
deluded
the
conceipt
with
deceiving
shadowes
of
opinion
;
How
he
,
I
say
,
durst
attempt
an
assay
of
such
importance
;
by
imparting
his
love
,
where
he
ought
so
much
of
duty
:
or
conceipt
himselfe
worthy
the
least
beamling
or
reflexion
of
such
a
fancy
.
Againe
,
how
she
looking
on
that
imperial
House
from
whence
she
came
;
those
eminent
Allyes
with
which
she
sided
;
those
many
eyes
which
darted
o●
her
;
the
distaste
which
so
commanding
a
Father
could
no
lesse
than
apprehend
upon
so
unequall
a
familiarity
;
would
debase
her
thoughts
so
much
,
as
to
stoope
to
so
base
a
Lure
:
as
the
highest
pitch
was
but
a
Poeticall
fury
,
an
intranced
rapsody
,
which
would
suit
incompetibly
with
a
Princes
fancy
.
No
,
what
is
more
,
a
meere
Pedanticall
Schoolemaster
;
for
so
I
have
read
,
he
was
;
whose
highest
aime
was
his
Soveraignty
in
correction
:
&
this
ambitious
Swad
to
assume
to
himselfe
so
much
immerited
state
,
as
to
presse
into
familiarity
with
his
Emperours
Daughter
;
or
she
to
entertaine
such
ignoble
thoughts
as
to
accept
of
the
protests
of
so
undes●●ving
a
servant
,
is
almost
above
the
pitch
of
imagination
to
conceive
;
or
opinion
to
beleeve
.
Why
Girle
,
said
her
Father
?
was
it
▪
hold
you
,
so
contemptible
a
thing
in
those
dayes
to
be
a
Schoolemaster
?
Pray
you
tell
me
,
what
doe
you
thinke
of
some
of
our
most
eminent
Princes
,
who
have
in
former
times
beene
Schoolemasters
?
yea
,
and
with
a
voluntary
dereliction
of
all
regall
state
,
port
,
and
magnificence
,
preferred
that
pedanticall
state
before
the
glory
of
a
Diadem
?
Dennis
,
Dionysi●s
,
and
Seleuchus
were
in
their
times
equall
to
most
Princes
for
eminence
of
state
,
absolutenesse
of
command
;
extent
in
the
limit
of
their
Soveraignty
;
yet
did
these
hold
that
condition
which
you
esteeme
so
despicable
,
equall
in
content
to
that
Princely
honour
which
before
they
retain'd
:
yea
,
incomparably
more
happy
did
they
account
themselves
,
in
relinquishing
the
one
for
acceptance
of
the
other
,
then
if
the
most
famous
Conquest
that
ever
Earth
was
witnesse
of
,
had
recorded
their
regall
names
in
the
Annals
of
honour
.
This
it
was
which
moved
Seleuchus
that
victorious
Prince
,
upon
reflex
had
to
those
many
miseries
and
insupportable
cares
accompanying
a
Crowne
,
so
confidently
to
say
,
that
if
a
Man
knew
with
what
cares
a
Diadem
was
clogged
,
he
would
not
take
it
up
though
it
lay
in
the
street
.
Nor
was
this
the
singular
opinion
of
one
;
for
when
the
Romans
had
despoiled
Antiochus
of
all
Asia
,
so
lightly
laid
he
it
to
his
heart
,
as
hee
gave
them
great
thanks
,
saying
,
they
had
rid
him
of
many
insupportable
cares
:
yea
,
and
of
many
bitte●
invectives
beside
;
being
at
one
time
saluted
●
glorious
Prince
,
and
a
furious
Tyrant
.
Nor
did
these
beare
those
mutable
overtures
wit●
mindes
lesse
composed
,
then
if
highest
fortunes
with
generall
voice
and
vote
had
been●
on
them
conferred
.
So
as
,
a
Philosopher
perceiving
Diony●ius
to
sit
merrily
in
the
Thea●●
after
he
was
expulsed
his
realm●
,
condemned
the
people
who
banished
him
.
It
is
true
Father
,
said
Doriclea
:
but
I
am
halfe
perswaded
,
that
none
of
these
whom
you
have
named
,
would
have
cared
much
for
a
private
life
,
had
they
not
beene
deposed
.
To
act
the
part
of
King
and
no
King
,
〈◊〉
an
heavie
taske
:
High
spirits
can
hard●●
brooke
it
;
and
for
ignoble
mindes
,
wh●
preferre
,
like
an
other
childish
Honorius
the
safety
of
Roma
their
Hen
,
before
th●
safeguard
of
Roma
their
City
;
they
are
n●
to
bee
much
pitied
for
what
they
lose
,
because
they
are
altogether
insensible
of
thei●
losse
.
They
who
could
forgoe
a
Kingdom●
for
a
Schoole
,
never
deserved
the
Title
o●
a
Prince
.
Indeed
,
some
of
these
there
wer●
who
deprived
of
their
Scepter
▪
made●
Schoole-house
their
harbour
;
but
for
wha●
end
?
Meerly
to
exercise
their
tyranny
on
Children
,
as
they
had
before
practised
on
Men.
Girle
,
your
judgement
is
too
rash
,
said
Androgeus
;
did
not
Dioclesian
,
whom
you
even
now
named
,
voluntarily
relinquish
the
flourishing'st
Empire
in
the
world
?
He
was
neither
expulsed
by
force
,
nor
deposed
by
private
consent
:
his
desertion
of
an
Imperiall
life
came
from
his
owne
choice
:
being
weary
of
so
pressing
a
burthen
,
the
weight
whereof
winged
his
resolves
for
a
private
condition
.
But
pray
thee
Girle
,
whence
came
the
occasion
of
this
argument
?
Truly
Sir
,
quoth
she
,
from
no
great
ground
;
and
I
am
glad
at
heart
,
that
having
taken
so
slight
an
occasion
,
it
has
so
neerely
closed
it selfe
in
a
digression
.
For
my
Argument
tooke
first
breath
from
the
boldnesse
of
a
Schoolemaster
in
attempting
,
and
the
lightnesse
of
his
Scholler
in
consenting
.
The
one
too
confident
of
his
own
parts
;
the
other
too
unmindefull
of
her
own
worth
.
The
first
too
opinionate
of
his
owne
desert
;
the
latter
too
forgetfull
of
her
own
descent
.
Which
Subject
,
presuming
on
your
patience
and
fatherly
indulgence
,
I
made
choice
of
,
being
the
very
last
which
occurred
to
my
reading
;
which
mov'd
me
the
rather
to
revive
it
,
to
heare
what
might
materially
be
opposed
to
it
.
CHAP.

.
The
feare
Philocles
was
in
,
lest
Doriclea
should
discover
his
suit
to
her
Parents
.
Which
Doriclea
,
though
shee
made
choice
of
that
Argument
,
only
to
affright
him
,
never
intended
,
being
more
affectionately
disposed
,
then
either
her
appearance
made
shew
of
,
or
any
expression
had
as
yet
discovered
.
IT
is
not
easie
to
imagine
what
cold
qualmes
came
over
Philocles
heart
in
the
disputing
of
this
Subject
:
so
as
,
if
the
Parents
of
Doriclea
had
suspected
ought
,
they
might
easily
have
gathered
by
the
going
and
comming
of
his
colour
,
that
there
was
something
in
the
winde
that
wrough
such
strange
effects
in
his
count'nance
and
gesture
.
All
which
proceeded
from
an
imaginary
feare
,
doubting
much
that
Doriclea
had
discovered
his
too
bold
suit
to
her
Parents
:
Or
if
she
had
not
already
done
it
;
this
very
Argument
whereof
she
took
so
free
an
occasion
to
discourse
,
was
an
introduction
of
what
she
meant
to
discover
hereafter
.
So
as
,
many
times
in
private
would
hee
fall
into
sundry
passions
:
sometimes
reproving
his
own
presumption
,
in
presenting
his
love
to
one
who
was
so
farre
above
the
spheare
of
his
affection
:
other
sometimes
he
would
minister
to
his
amated
spirits
some
small
semblances
of
hope
;
as
if
she
were
not
the
same
she
seem'd
;
but
that
her
fancy
,
howsoever
shadowed
or
shrowded
for
the
time
,
would
break
forth
into
other
expressions
,
then
what
her
virgin
modesty
could
yet
impart
.
Which
deceiving
opinion
(
as
hee
judged
it
)
he
would
streight
labour
to
divert
,
and
condemne
himselfe
of
egregious
folly
to
promise
himselfe
hope
to
obtaine
:
seeing
all
passages
of
prevailing
in
his
inconsiderate
suit
,
were
shut
up
by
his
Mistresse
disdaine
.
For
to
impart
his
thoughts
to
her
any
more
upon
that
subject
,
he
resolved
fully
never
to
attempt
it
:
desiring
nothing
more
then
that
his
former
folly
might
be
remitted
;
and
all
occasion
of
discovery
prevented
:
upon
which
condition
hee
would
willingly
surcease
from
those
motives
of
love
,
which
had
so
strongly
wrought
on
the
faculties
of
his
minde
.
Nor
did
hee
see
any
means
to
unrip
his
thoughts
to
an
other
,
being
so
far
from
hope
of
successe
▪
as
now
it
became
a
sufficient
task
for
him
to
prevent
danger
.
For
as
the
bent
of
his
fortunes
at
that
time
confin'd
themselves
only
to
the
spirit
of
hope
:
so
was
his
hope
probably
like
to
expire
,
should
she
whom
hee
held
so
deere
,
make
the
least
discovery
of
what
had
passed
betwixt
him
and
her
.
It
behoved
him
therefore
to
apply
himselfe
to
another
designe
:
and
recant
his
familiarity
with
love
:
which
might
both
endanger
his
fortunes
,
and
deprive
him
all
hopes
of
aspiring
higher
.
Thus
,
as
the
precious
stone
Diocletes
,
though
it
have
many
rare
and
excellent
soveraignties
in
it
,
yet
it
loseth
them
all
,
if
it
bee
put
into
a
dead
mans
mouth
;
fared
it
with
Philocles
,
who
though
he
were
excellently
indowed
,
richly
qualified
,
and
for
elocution
generally
approved
;
yet
all
these
disheartned
by
want
of
hope
,
lost
all
that
lustre
which
they
formerly
reteined
.
For
though
at
retired
houres
,
and
at
such
times
as
he
found
his
Muse
most
propitious
,
he
composed
diverse
amorous
Poems
,
apt
motives
to
stir
up
fancy
;
Yet
so
much
was
he
discouraged
,
as
what
his
resolves
were
sometimes
addressed
to
present
,
his
latter
thoughts
ever
retracted
Howsoever
,
his
melancholly
walkes
,
affecting
nothing
more
then
privacy
,
discovered
to
his
Mistresse
the
effects
of
his
fancy
,
who
was
so
farre
from
disclosing
what
might
redound
to
his
dishonour
;
as
those
arguments
whereof
she
sometimes
took
occasion
to
treat
,
were
only
urged
to
affright
him
,
but
in
no
case
to
prejudice
him
:
being
so
tender
of
his
welfare
,
as
whatsoever
appeared
,
nothing
was
by
her
intended
to
decline
his
choice
,
or
to
give
him
just
cause
of
change
.
For
so
full
of
vertuous
remorse
was
Doricleas
pious
heart
,
as
it
was
more
affectionately
disposed
,
then
by
any
appearance
was
yet
discovered
.
For
as
the
Juniper
tree
maketh
the
hottest
coale
,
and
the
coolest
shadow
of
any
tree
:
For
the
coale
is
so
hot
,
that
if
it
be
rak't
up
in
ashes
of
the
same
,
it
continueth
unextinquishable
by
the
space
of
a
whole
yeare
:
So
this
divinely
sented
creature
(
to
hold
nearer
resemblance
with
the
Juniper
)
though
the
heate
of
her
affection
had
beene
long
smothered
in
embers
,
and
discovered
no
visible
flame
;
yet
did
it
reteine
her
vigour
still
,
and
by
so
much
more
violent
when
iffuing
,
by
how
much
longer
before
it
came
to
appearing
.
For
love
inwardly
shewes
his
heat
most
,
when
outwardly
discerned
least
.
And
such
was
Doricleas
case
;
though
she
restrained
her
eye
from
fixing
on
that
Object
which
it
desired
:
and
her
heart
to
entertaine
that
guest
which
of
all
others
she
most
priz'd
,
yet
could
not
her
discretion
make
such
a
foole
of
love
,
as
wholly
to
bury
her
thoughts
from
more
discerning
eyes
.
Truth
is
,
though
no
profession
seem'd
more
contemptible
then
that
which
he
held
:
yet
in
her
conceipt
,
no
vocation
more
pleasing
,
being
profest
by
one
to
her
own
thoughts
so
loving
;
with
her
owne
desires
so
complying
.
Little
then
needed
Philocles
,
to
feare
that
she
would
discover
any
thing
to
her
Parents
to
his
prejudice
:
seeing
she
so
inwardly
affected
and
equally
approved
what
he
had
propounded
,
as
nothing
did
more
infinitely
content
her
,
then
at
vacant
hours
to
recollect
those
words
which
he
had
delivered
to
her
.
Neither
was
it
her
desire
to
tyrannize
over
her
late-captiv'd
and
inchained
Servant
:
whose
freedome
lay
it
in
her
power
,
should
be
confirm'd
with
as
ample
and
authentick
a
Charter
;
as
true
love
and
constant
devotion
could
enjoyne
her
.
But
all
this
little
allay'd
those
incessant
cares
and
feares
of
poore
Philocles
:
who
every
day
expected
a
discharge
,
when
he
should
be
deprived
of
the
place
he
bore
,
and
consequently
of
all
future
hopes
of
renuing
his
suit
,
or
enjoying
that
prize
which
hee
so
infinitely
valued
,
as
the
sacrifice
of
his
life
he
held
at
a
low
rate
to
seaze
him
of
the
incomparable
purchase
of
her
love
.
This
mov'd
him
one
day
,
after
a
sad
recollection
of
his
thoughts
,
to
meditate
of
his
present
condition
,
How
is
it
Philocles
!
how
fares
it
with
thy
distracted
thoughts
!
most
miserable
of
all
others
is
thy
condition
;
meriting
most
,
yet
can
partake
no
compassion
.
Shouldst
thou
discover
thy
griefes
,
thou
exposest
thy selfe
to
danger
,
and
by
concealing
what
thou
seelest
,
with
fresh
fuell
thou
feedst
thy
distemper
,
unhappy
then
art
thou
in
suffering
what
thou
darest
not
disclose
:
and
no
lesse
unhappy
,
in
making
those
thy
enemies
,
on
whom
thou
depends
,
by
discovering
what
thy
intimate
thoughts
desire
to
make
knowne
.
How
sweet
and
safe
was
thy
condition
,
when
Philosophy
was
thy
mistresse
:
and
and
the
Liberall
Arts
those
brave
Competito●s
which
contested
with
thee
for
preeminence
?
Light-feather'd
Love
was
then
no
Lure
to
catch
thee
:
nor
beauty
no
baite
to
ensnare
thee
:
Nor
all
those
amorous
delights
which
fancy
tenders
,
motives
to
delude
thee
.
Spare
commons
became
profest
foes
to
light
affections
.
Lectures
of
Philosophy
admitted
no
Audience
to
loves
treaty
.
But
such
is
the
mu●able
disposition
of
the
mind
:
that
no
condition
relisheth
worse
then
what
it
presently
injoyes
.
For
could
man
value
an
Academicke
life
when
he
partakes
it
,
at
that
estimate
which
hee
holds
it
when
he
foregoes
it
,
hee
would
not
make
exchange
of
that
present
state
with
the
treasures
of
the
age
:
nor
lose
an
houres
contemplation
for
the
injoyment
of
an
Empire
.
O
unhappy
Philocles
!
and
by
so
much
more
unhappy
,
in
being
once
happy
.
In
those
prime
slourishing
dayes
,
wherein
knowledg
was
the
height
of
thy
ambition
,
thou
couldst
freely
without
anxiety
,
and
though
rationally
,
with
much
liberty
,
discourse
of
a
disdainefull
Mistris
.
Sleight
the
frownes
of
an
imperious
Dame
,
and
make
it
a
wonder
,
how
a
little
painted
Earth
,
more
purely
refined
then
other
inferiour
mou'd
,
should
surprize
a
Conceiving
soule
,
by
making
the
miserable
sufferer
present
himselfe
a
true
Malecontent
:
with
an
hat
without
a
band
over-brimming
his
eyes
,
an
unfashionable
habit
,
as
if
he
scorn'd
to
suit
with
time
,
and
that
unbrush'd
:
an
head
,
as
if
newly
fetterd
with
Medusa's
locks
,
and
that
unkemb'd
.
This
made
me
put
on
the
Countenance
of
Dem●critus
,
and
weaken
my
lungs
with
laughter
.
And
must
I
play
the
mad-mans
part
,
and
discover
my selfe
to
be
the
very
same
personall
Actor
!
well
Philocles
;
herein
thou
maist
read
a
Lecture
of
humility
unto
others
;
by
disvaluing
thy
owne
strength
:
and
submitting
thy selfe
to
others
Censure
,
who
formerly
wert
so
forward
to
taxe
others
of
the
same
Error
.
Meane
time
,
what
powerfull
effects
have
all
these
fruitlesse
passions
wrought
?
Increase
of
disdaine
;
decrease
of
esteeme
:
and
feare
in
thy selfe
of
discovering
thy
ayme
?
Well
,
Doriclea
,
did
you
but
know
,
as
your
discretion
hath
sufficiently
inform'd
and
improv'd
your
knowledge
,
what
your
unworthy
Servant
,
unhappy
Philocles
,
has
lost
in
offering
his
Sacrifice
of
love
unto
you
;
you
would
suffer
the
worst
of
extreames
,
rather
then
suffer
him
to
perish
,
whose
life
,
freedome
and
fortune
depend
all
upon
your
affection
.
But
be
it
your
lot
to
soveraignize
over
me
,
while
with
resolved
patience
;
and
a
minde
better
composed
then
for
any
affliction
to
shake
,
I
embrace
my
owne
ruine
with
a
smile
,
while
you
close
the
period
of
my
hopes
in
a
frowne
.
All
this
,
unknowne
to
him
,
did
his
Doriclea
heare
;
who
had
much
to
doe
,
upon
the
relation
of
his
unhappinesse
,
to
hold
her
peace
.
But
with
what
an
open
and
affectionate
brest
she
receiv'd
his
Complaints
,
and
with
what
constancy
shee
reteyned
them
,
shall
appeare
hereafter
by
those
impressive
effects
which
were
wrought
in
her
,
and
derived
from
her
,

them

CHAP.

The
intercursive
Letters
passing
betwixt
Philocles
and
Doriclea
:
and
how
shee
begunne
to
impart
by
penne
,
what
she
had
before
conceited
in
thought
:
and
how
she
desired
nothing
so
much
as
the
accomplishment
of
their
Love
,
so
privacy
might
give
leave
.
GOod
newes
,
when
they
come
unexpected
,
are
ever
with
the
best
welcome
entertained
.
This
our
Love-perplexed
Philocles
well
understood
,
when
after
so
many
cold
sweats
,
and
distemper'd
passions
,
which
the
height
and
heat
of
his
unfained
love
had
brought
him
to
,
he
begun
now
at
last
to
perceive
,
that
a
storme
may
beget
a
Calme
:
and
that
the
frowne
of
a
Mistris
may
arise
from
the
brow
without
least
privity
or
intention
of
the
heart
.
Which
pleasant
and
unexpected
overture
,
not
to
trifle
out
time
,
nor
delude
the
conceipt
of
our
amorous
Reader
,
who
,
no
doubt
,
longs
to
heare
of
so
faire
a
Conclusion
,
to
such
unpromising
premises
,
happened
thus
.
Philocles
,
who
had
never
all
his
time
before
,
entred
into
such
a
league
of
familiarity
or
acquaintance
with
love
:
and
now
fully
resolved
to
bid
adieu
to
all
such
dis-passionate
treaties
as
make
fooles
of
the
wisest
men
:
after
a
melancholy
turne
or
two
in
a
solitary
walke
,
which
since
the
first
presentment
of
his
love
to
Doriclea
,
at
retired
hours
he
usually
frequented
:
entring
his
Chamber
,
and
casting
his
eye
aside
,
hee
might
finde
a
paper
close
by
his
deske
,
wherein
were
these
words
contained
.
Doricleas
first
Letter
to
Philocles
.
Sir
;
THe
very
last
time
I
saw
you
,
me
thought
you
wore
your
band
more
like
a
Scholler
then
a
compleate
Lover
;
which
imply'd
,
that
you
were
lov'd
and
knew
not
.
Now
,
I
would
not
that
you
made
too
large
a
construction
of
this
:
I
am
not
she
that
will
tell
you
she
loves
you
:
and
if
perhaps
,
I
did
,
you
would
not
believe
me
.
For
I
have
given
you
no
cause
as
yet
to
conceit
so
.
Nay
,
reflect
upon
your
person
and
profession
,
and
if
you
be
any
good
Sophister
▪
you
cannot
chuse
but
conclude
from
such
apparent
premises
,
that
it
is
impossible
I
should
love
you
.
And
yet
,
I
would
be
loath
to
be
accounted
such
a
foole
,
as
to
speake
all
that
I
thinke
.
Trust
me
,
Sir
,
I
was
once
resolv'd
never
to
love
,
but
if
I
did
,
never
to
love
you
:
now
what
have
you
done
that
could
alter
me
?
Must
I
believe
,
you
,
because
you
told
me
you
did
love
mee
?
Be
all
your
pro●ests
Maxims
,
that
I
should
hold
them
for
authenticke
?
And
yet
Schollers
have
ever
beene
accounted
simple
:
were
it
not
a
sinne
then
,
not
to
believe
you
?
That
experienced
Sage
could
stile
you
Foxes
in
the
Schoole
,
but
Sheepe
in
the
world
:
A●d
shall
I
hold
you
a
dissembler
?
No
;
I
am
perswaded
you
speake
as
you
thinke
:
but
what
is
all
this
to
me
,
or
wherein
may
this
beget
hope
in
you
,
seeing
you
must
not
have
all
you
love
?
Well
;
God
forgive
you
,
I
will
not
dissemble
,
whatsoever
you
do
.
Let
me
heare
you
once
againe
treate
of
love
,
and
you
shall
see
how
I
will
sleight
you
.
If
your
discourse
like
me
,
trust
me
,
I
will
not
be
angry
;
howsoever
,
it
shall
not
so
much
offend
me
,
as
to
make
me
accuse
you
to
any
such
wherewith
I
formerly
threatned
you
.
To
conclude
,
though
Love
be
seldome
grounded
on
Reason
,
returne
me
but
reason
why
I
should
love
,
and
why
I
should
make
you
the
object
of
that
love
,
and
as
I
live
,
Philocles
shall
finde
me
a
loyall
constant
Doriclea
.
Never
did
hopelesse
Prisoner
receive
more
content
from
the
glad
report
of
an
unexpected
reprive
,
after
the
heavy
sentence
of
death
pronounced
,
then
revived
Philocles
did
in
the
perusall
of
this
Letter
.
He
now
recollects
his
dispersed
and
dispacarled
spirits
:
and
bethinks
with
himselfe
what
were
best
to
bee
done
upon
so
faire
an
opportunity
offered
.
Hee
resolves
therefore
,
to
prevent
jealous
eyes
,
to
addresse
his
minde
to
her
in
writing
to
this
effect
.
Philocles
answer
to
Doricleas
first
Letter
.
Mistris
;
HOw
much
those
lines
sweetned
with
your
character
,
have
transportedme
,
my
indearedst
thoughts
cannot
impart
unto
you
.
To
give
you
a
reason
why
you
should
love
mee
,
I
can
give
you
no
other
,
but
that
my
heart
tels
me
I
deserve
you
:
&
that
humanity
injoynet
you
to
love
me
,
seeing
I
hold
my
life
an
easie
sacrifice
to
injoy
you
.
Be
it
your
goodnesse
to
believe
mee
;
I
will
sooner
surcease
to
live
,
then
from
expressing
those
loyall
arguments
of
love
;
which
your
vertues
deserve
,
and
which
I
with
no
lesse
constancy
shall
observe
.
I
could
never
yet
dictate
either
by
tongue
or
penne
,
what
I
first
conceiv'd
not
in
heart
I
told
you
,
that
your selfe
was
my
booty
;
the
portion
I
expected
,
your
vertuous
beauty
:
and
if
you
pleased
but
to
crowne
my
hopes
with
your
consent
,
our
mutuall
choice
which
should
never
admit
change
,
might
make
us
both
equally
happy
.
To
tell
you
that
either
my
Fortunes
or
descent
did
deserve
you
,
were
to
labour
,
and
that
fruitlesly
,
to
delude
you
.
But
let
me
become
an
Abject
in
the
eyes
of
fame
,
an
Object
of
contempt
to
the
world
,
if
my
faithfull
devotion
&
observance
supply
not
that
deficience
.
For
my
descent
,
as
I
will
not
boast
of
it
,
yet
whensoever
your
parents
,
after
passion
digested
,
shall
examine
it
,
they
will
finde
it
neither
so
ignoble
as
to
despise
it
,
nor
so
meanely
strengthened
,
as
to
reject
it
.
But
what
are
these
,
compared
to
the
purity
of
that
affection
,
which
combines
hearts
and
hands
:
And
with
a
sacred
cement
so
knits
and
contracts
mindes
:
As
those
who
were
before
divided
,
by
meanes
of
this
holy
league
became
so
united
,
as
nothing
so
much
as
their
presence
could
content
them
,
then
which
,
nothing
before
did
more
distaste
them
!
were
my
fortunes
never
so
poor
,
yet
seeing
my
fancy
appeares
so
pure
,
account
him
worthy
to
deserve
you
,
who
will
hold
himselfe
unworthy
of
that
life
,
which
shall
not
be
imployed
to
serve
you
.
These
are
all
the
reasons
of
Love
,
which
you
can
expect
from
Your
loyall
PHILOCLES
.
Thus
became
Love
a
present
and
pregnant
Secretary
.
This
object
of
fancy
made
the
taske
easy
.
Letters
know
not
how
to
blush
,
which
cause
them
commit
to
paper
,
what
a
bashfull
tongue
could
not
so
well
deliver
.
Besides
,
this
diverted
all
occasion
of
jealousie
in
a
meare-looking
family
.
Which
they
before
all
others
most
doubted
;
fearing
to
be
prevented
,
now
when
their
loves
begunne
to
be
ripened
and
setled
:
which
would
so
perplexe
the
Sceane
,
as
this
Comicke
introduction
might
casually
close
with
a
fearefull
Conclusion
.
Albeit
,
so
free
from
the
least
suspition
of
any
light
or
ungrounded
affection
which
Doriclea
might
any
way
harbour
,
were
her
Parents
;
as
many
times
they
would
give
their
daughter
liberty
to
ride
abroad
,
and
visit
her
friends
.
In
all
which
freedomes
she
expressed
such
modesty
,
as
Envy
could
nothatch
the
least
occasion
of
jealousie
from
so
compos'd
a
behaviour
.
Yet
,
a
greater
desire
shee
reteyn'd
to
stay
at
home
,
since
her
affection
begunne
to
be
setled
on
Philocles
,
then
before
:
many
times
pretending
an
indisposition
of
health
,
or
some
other
minted
excuse
,
to
prevent
her
journey
,
by
remaining
there
where
shee
had
planted
her
fancy
.
But
so
tender
were
her
Parents
of
their
daughter
;
being
,
as
shee
was
,
indeed
,
naturally
tender
:
as
they
desired
she
should
change
the
ayre
,
fearing
much
that
her
long
stay
or
retirednesse
at
home
might
enfeeble
her
health
▪
And
this
their
resolve
now
and
then
closed
well
with
her
liking
,
having
Philocles
assign'd
her
for
her
conduct
:
whose
society
,
out
of
a
modest
policy
,
though
she
seemed
with
all
indifferency
to
admit
:
yet
how
much
that
cheered
her
heart
,
I
appeale
to
all
such
constant
and
affectionate
Lovers
,
whose
fancy
h
'as
beene
crowned
with
such
opportunity
:
and
whose
Iourneyes
have
beene
so
incomparably
sweetned
with
the
Society
of
a
Mistris
;
whose
conference
had
power
enough
to
shorten
the
houre
;
allay
the
difficulty
of
a
troublesome
way
;
and
to
entertaine
every
object
with
such
occasionall
delight
:
as
nothing
could
more
cheerefully
nor
intentively
worke
on
the
Conceit
.
But
howbeit
Philocles
had
sometimes
the
happinesse
to
attend
his
Mistris
;
He
was
injoyned
to
a
short
returne
,
which
could
not
but
beget
an
equall
proportion
of
passion
in
them
both
:
In
him
to
be
divided
from
her
presence
whom
he
so
intirely
affected
:
In
her
,
to
be
dispossest
of
those
unvaluable
joyes
which
her
affection
had
in
his
Society
treasured
.
But
their
personall
absence
was
ever
supplied
by
other
remonstrances
,
not
onely
to
renue
what
was
already
begun
,
but
to
prepare
way
for
accomplishment
of
that
,
which
with
joynt
consent
they
desired
might
be
solemnely
done
.
Intercursive
Letters
were
ever
passing
betwixt
them
:
and
that
in
so
quaint
and
cunning
a
Character
,
as
interception
,
though
seconded
with
a
nimble
construction
,
could
hardly
extract
ought
that
might
discover
what
they
intended
:
or
apply
ought
that
might
occasionally
prevent
what
their
grounded
affections
had
resolved
.
For
sometimes
,
he
would
write
in
the
person
of
another
Suiter
,
to
free
his
lines
from
suspition
:
sometimes
he
would
feague
under
the
title
of
that
imaginarie
Suiter
,
that
he
was
rejected
by
her
:
which
to
prevent
,
he
would
revive
those
protests
of
love
hee
had
formerly
professed
.
And
to
instance
these
,
and
display
the
subtilty
of
a
Lover
,
peruse
this
Letter
,
which
under
the
faigned
Name
of
some
dis-esteemed
Suiter
,
hee
thus
addressed
to
her
.
Philocles
second
Letter
to
Doriclea
.
DEarest
,
let
the
presentment
of
these
lines
renue
my
suite
;
and
in
the
perusall
of
my
passions
,
let
this
be
your
maxim
:
that
it
rests
in
your
affection
or
rejection
to
make
me
happy
or
unhappy
in
my
state
,
your
Zeale
to
goodnesse
,
amongst
these
many
gusts
of
extreames
,
assures
me
,
your
pious
and
well-disposed
heart
cannot
but
entertaine
remorce
to
a
Servant
so
loyall
,
as
hee
holds
the
intyrest
tender
of
his
life
,
an
easy
purchase
to
time
,
but
an
easier
sacrifice
to
fate
,
to
purchase
your
love
.
Let
me
joy
in
enjoying
you
,
and
let
me
be
deprived
of
all
joy
if
in
every
subject
I
close
not
in
your
content
,
to
make
our
mutuall
joyes
more
truly
absolute
.
Amidst
these
,
hope
and
feare
doe
equally
encounter
me
;
it
is
in
your
discreet
brest
to
banish
the
one
,
by
returning
assurance
of
the
other
:
and
by
checking
the
latter
with
a
frowne
,
to
give
encouragment
to
the
former
with
a
smile
.
Your
yeare
of
mourning
is
now
expir'd
;
receive
him
into
your
bosome
,
who
will
hold
you
so
deare
,
as
your
comfort
shall
never
expire
.
My
long
neglect
of
attending
you
,
proceeded
from
the
discouragement
I
received
from
you
at
my
last
being
with
you
:
but
I
am
perswaded
that
assurance
your
owne
hand
hath
plighted
me
,
will
induce
you
to
recollect
your
thoughts
,
and
revive
those
sacred
tyes
,
which
are
so
firmely
united
,
as
by
death
onely
to
be
dissolved
.
Let
but
one
line
redart
one
small
beameling
of
love
,
and
winged
speed
shall
enliven
my
desires
for
those
parts
,
and
style
me
in
the
fruition
of
you
,
Your
long
trusty
,
now
happy
Servant
▪
How
much
these
plaide
,
nay
pleas'd
the
imagination
of
Doriclea
,
it
is
not
easy
to
conceive
.
Smyling
with
her selfe
at
the
Conceit
of
Philocles
,
in
seeming
to
feare
what
he
feared
not
;
and
pretending
the
affection
of
a
Suiter
whom
he
knew
not
.
Nor
was
Doriclea
lesse
prompt
in
addressing
her
affectionate
thoughts
to
Philocles
,
but
still
after
his
Copy
;
for
either
would
she
make
bold
with
subscribing
Mellida's
name
to
her
owne
Letter
:
or
counterfaiting
some
other
Character
,
to
expresse
the
intimacy
of
her
desires
,
and
constancy
of
her
vowes
to
her
selectedst
Lover
.
Nor
would
she
inlarge
herselfe
too
much
;
lest
by
some
Circumstance
or
other
she
might
discover
what
her
private
thoughts
would
not
have
disclosed
,
for
the
true
and
unvaluable
estimate
of
her
honour
.
Yet
did
not
her
penne
drop
lesse
love
for
the
contractednesse
of
her
line
:
Each
Sillable
had
his
Emphasis
,
as
may
appeare
by
this
amongst
others
,
which
shee
sometimes
wrote
unto
him
to
solace
his
pensivenesse
.
Doricleas
second
Letter
to
Philocles
.
FAile
not
,
faint
not
,
feare
not
:
I
am
ever
the
same
I
have
professed
,
constant
.
No
line
can
limit
my
love
;
no
distance
divide
my
heart
.
Meane
while
lodge
these
lines
in
thy
bosome
till
I
see
thee
.
Cold
North
,
hot
South
,
cleare
East
,
wet
West
Shall
ne're
divide
me
from
thy
brest
;
On
this
then
,
Dearest
,
set
thy
rest
,
I
am
the
same
that
I
've
profest
;
Meane
time
,
sweet
fancy
,
use
thy
charme
,
Till
sleepe
enfold
us
arme
in
arme
.
No
day
past
without
some
memoriall
of
this
kinde
.
A
strong
motive
to
love
;
re-conveying
to
the
memory
,
what
personall
absence
might
raze
forth
without
revivall
.
This
it
was
which
wrought
so
strongly
on
the
enlivened
spirit
of
Marke
Antonie
:
as
there
was
nothing
that
made
him
so
great
a
stranger
to
armes
,
which
he
naturally
affected
:
nor
estranged
his
affection
more
from
his
Octavia
,
to
whom
by
conjugall
love
he
stood
obliged
:
nor
divided
him
more
from
the
care
of
securing
himselfe
,
then
one
line
comming
from
the
hand
of
his
Cleopatra
.
Though
her
majestick
state
begot
an
admiration
in
her
beholders
;
a
strong
impression
in
the
wounded
hearts
of
her
lovers
.
Though
her
eye
reteyned
a
power
to
command
love
;
and
subdue
the
commandingst
Conquerour
with
a
look
.
All
these
soveraigniz'd
not
halfe
so
much
on
Antonies
affection
,
as
those
amorous
lines
he
received
from
her
,
writ
in
Christall
,
Amber
,
Amethist
,
and
Ivory
.
Not
a
line
but
contained
a
loves
charme
.
No
modell
which
ever
fancy
devis'd
,
or
the
imagination
stampt
;
which
subtile
Cleopatra
presented
not
to
make
a
Commander
her
Thrall
;
a
Conquerour
her
Slave
.
Those
secret
delights
of
love
which
modest
eares
would
scarcely
have
received
;
nor
shamefast
eyes
perused
,
were
into
his
conceipt
freely
instilled
:
to
decline
his
affection
from
those
,
whom
hee
ought
to
have
loved
best
:
and
to
ingage
his
heart
to
her
,
whose
embraces
hee
should
have
dis-relished
most
.
Thus
did
she
cast
forth
her
lines
for
lures
,
to
seaze
on
one
of
the
highest
flyers
,
that
ever
perch'd
Roman
stemme
:
becomming
her
own
witty
Secretary
,
to
ensnare
the
fancy
of
her
deluded
Antony
.
But
more
modest
were
the
lines
of
our
two
Lovers
;
and
farre
more
vertuous
their
aimes
.
Reason
became
no
captive
unto
sense
.
Neither
did
the
conceipt
of
a
Nuptiall
night
so
much
transport
them
,
as
to
deprive
their
apprehension
of
the
end
for
which
honourable
rites
were
first
ordained
.
This
,
Philocles
sufficiently
expressed
,
when
at
such
time
as
after
Doricleas
returne
home
,
having
no
good
opportunity
to
impart
his
thoughts
more
freely
to
her
,
he
commended
these
lines
to
paper
,
which
he
privately
conveyed
into
her
pocket
.
Philocles
third
Letter
to
Doriclea
.
DEare
One
,
what
I
sometimes
professed
,
shall
be
ever
in
my
loyall
love
to
you
faithfully
expressed
.
What
,
though
opportunity
for
the
present
barre
us
from
conference
,
our
eyes
shall
witnesse
that
unfeined
love
that
is
betwixt
us
.
And
in
approvement
of
it
,
subscribe
under
these
few
lines
,
but
these
words
,
I
will
be
ever
your
faithfull
Consort
:
And
you
shall
perceive
,
ere
long
,
that
a
faire
opportunity
shall
give
freedome
of
enjoyment
of
our
loves
.
Where
we
way
freely
and
vertuously
enjoy
one
the
other
;
and
with
continuall
comforts
partake
the
benefit
of
our
lawfull
loves
to
Gods
honour
.
Meane
time
,
write
these
words
under
this
,
my
dearest
choice
,
so
shall
my
constant
love
pronounce
me
yours
without
change
.
The
Match
is
made
with
joynt
consent
,
Onely
subscribe
,
I
am
content
:
Where
nought
but
Death
shall
e're
divide
Your
dearest
consort
from
his
Bride
.
Nor
need
you
doubt
but
Doriclea
upon
perusall
of
these
lines
,
was
as
ready
to
s●bscribe
,
as
hee
to
propose
.
So
loyall
were
their
chaste
loves
,
so
constantly
united
their
minds
.
Yet
were
they
no
such
Novices
in
the
Schoole
of
Love
;
nor
so
uncapable
of
those
effects
which
pure
love
might
bring
forth
:
as
not
to
aspire
to
some
higher
degree
then
yet
they
had
attain'd
.
Yea
,
even
vertuous
Doriclea
,
who
never
heard
any
light
discourse
without
a
modest
blush
:
nor
had
given
harbour
to
a
wandring
thought
without
a
seasonable
reproofe
,
desired
nothing
more
then
the
accomplishment
of
their
love
,
so
privacy
might
give
leave
.
For
that
tender
filiall
zeale
which
shee
bore
to
her
Parents
made
her
resolves
more
doubtfull
;
and
time
more
protractive
;
then
her
desires
,
were
she
her
owne
Guardian
,
could
freely
give
way
to
.
Howsoever
,
to
free
her
faithfull
Philocles
of
all
feare
;
and
to
confirme
him
in
that
which
he
did
most
desire
:
with
as
much
convenient
speed
as
the
opportunity
of
that
time
would
allot
,
with
a
prepared
hand
and
an
affectionate
heart
shee
subscribed
to
whatsoever
his
vertuous
requests
had
propounded
.
CHAP.
X.
What
Plots
Doriclea
devised
to
partake
in
private
Meetings
and
Treaties
with
her
Philocles
:
and
how
by
the
jealousie
of
Euryclea
,
her
Mother
,
she
was
prevented
.
SHort
restraints
seeme
long
,
where
hearts
are
divided
from
those
Objects
which
they
love
.
Though
at
times
of
repast
,
and
some
other
houres
of
the
day
,
Doriclea
might
enjoy
the
presence
of
her
Philocles
,
yet
through
the
intercourse
of
her
sundry
Suiters
,
who
now
like
golden
showers
came
daily
falling
&
distilling
into
our
Danaës
Lap
:
they
were
barred
that
freedome
of
discourse
their
bequeathed
hearts
so
much
affected
.
Nor
could
it
doe
lesse
then
perplexe
the
troubled
thoughts
of
Philocles
,
to
see
his
Doriclea
so
daily
courted
;
ample
promises
of
high
preferment
,
with
other
titles
of
honour
,
dangerous
baits
to
catch
a
Woman
,
proffered
:
so
as
,
if
she
were
not
all
the
constanter
,
howsoever
she
had
largely
protested
,
he
was
verily
perswaded
her
Mai●en
Castle
could
not
long
hold
out
.
E●ery
kisse
was
a
killing
to
him
;
and
by
that
,
judge
how
often
he
might
be
killed
every
day
!
He
many
times
thought
of
that
Poeticall
Proverbe
:
L●●s
are
Loves-portels
,
to
sly
Wooers
known
,
Which
once
surpriz'd
,
the
Fort
is
quickly
wonne
.
Yet
patient
Philocles
!
he
must
say
nothing
,
whatsoever
hee
think
.
His
eyes
must
partake
in
the
sight
of
their
wooing
dalliance
;
&
glad
he
may
do
so
,
to
prevent
the
worst
.
And
sometimes
these
silken
Suiters
will
vouchsafe
him
that
honour
to
supply
a
place
in
their
amorous
pastimes
;
as
in
making
Gooselings
in
the
fire
,
or
drawing
of
gloves
,
or
such
like
harmelesse
toyes
,
to
passe
the
night
away
.
Nay
,
sometimes
they
imploy'd
him
further
,
in
returning
a
message
to
Doriclea
;
a
task
which
suited
best
with
his
liking
,
but
no
doubt
would
loose
much
of
his
spirit
in
carrying
.
For
to
be
a
second
Porter
of
Bellerophons
Letters
could
not
sort
with
his
disposition
,
who
had
casten
his
lot
,
and
found
one
equally
closing
with
him
●n
affection
.
But
all
these
servile
imployments
,
as
he
conceived
,
were
imposed
him
,
purposely
to
humble
him
.
Albeit
,
such
trials
needed
little
,
being
one
of
such
temper
,
as
his
thoughts
were
farre
above
an
inferiour
Spheare
.
For
as
hee
beheld
nothing
in
this
Theatre
of
Earth
,
worthy
affecting
,
but
his
Doriclea
:
so
hee
conceipted
so
well
of
his
choice
,
as
he
rested
confident
,
such
an
excellent
piece
could
not
finde
a
brest
to
entertaine
a
change
.
And
his
opinion
was
truly
grounded
:
for
howsoever
his
Doriclea
might
seeme
out
of
a
desire
to
give
her
Parents
content
,
to
converse
with
these
jolly
Wooers
,
and
to
leave
them
in
suspense
,
lest
an
absolute
rejection
of
them
might
procure
their
distaste
;
wee
have
ever
made
it
a
constant
Maxim
,
Where
the
eye
is
,
there
the
minde
is
:
which
might
well
appeare
by
the
behaviour
of
this
constant
Maid
:
who
,
though
she
seemed
amorously
to
converse
with
these
,
had
her
eye
ever
fixed
on
her
Philocles
.
But
all
this
was
not
sufficient
to
her
,
unlesse
she
might
enjoy
the
presence
of
her
Dearest
;
from
whom
to
be
divided
,
even
in
private
treaties
or
parliance
,
was
no
small
affliction
.
Suppose
her
then
contriving
sundry
plots
to
partake
in
what
she
did
so
infinitely
desire
.
Love
is
ingenious
in
devising
,
but
many
times
not
so
prosperous
in
succeeding
.
Private
meetings
,
purposely
to
relate
their
affections
,
with
meanes
of
preventing
of
what
her
Parents
,
for
ought
that
she
knew
,
might
be
intending
;
was
her
aime
;
further
she
aspired
not
:
for
so
pure
and
undistained
were
her
thoughts
,
as
they
hated
to
mixe
themselves
with
any
irregular
desire
.
Now
to
bring
to
passe
what
she
sought
;
many
evenings
would
she
pretend
some
one
businesse
or
other
,
to
stay
below
behinde
her
Mother
:
but
so
light
was
her
occasion
,
as
her
Mother
perceived
,
that
it
made
her
more
jealous
of
her
excuses
.
Seeing
then
these
would
not
do
;
she
made
use
of
a
Trap-doore
within
her
Chamber
;
intending
to
come
downe
by
it
,
and
so
enjoy
the
benefit
of
time
.
But
none
of
these
plots
would
hold
;
for
Euryclea
,
who
by
some
private
intelligence
,
or
what
other
ill
office
I
know
not
,
receiving
notice
of
her
Daughters
practise
;
one
night
when
Doriclea
suspecting
no
harme
,
was
to
come
downe
by
the
Trap-doore
,
as
she
had
formerly
done
,
was
received
below
by
her
Mother
instead
of
her
Lover
.
Which
how
it
perplexed
this
unfortunate
Doriclea
,
exceeds
the
art
of
any
Pen
to
expresse
:
being
not
only
deprived
of
that
beneficiall
opportunity
,
with
an
evening
treaty
,
to
crowne
their
fancy
;
but
ingaged
to
a
just
censure
or
opinion
of
jealousie
.
Which
her
Mother
had
good
cause
to
conceive
;
seeing
what
private
advertisements
had
informed
,
she
found
so
apparently
confirmed
.
Imagine
then
incensed
Euryclea
,
who
prized
nothing
more
then
her
Daughters
honour
:
nor
distasted
ought
more
then
those
imputations
which
censure
might
justly
cast
upon
her
,
taking
up
her
Daughter
in
this
manner
.
What
Girle
,
is
your
modest
seeming
come
to
this
?
H
'as
our
care
,
our
too
much
care
of
your
preferment
,
made
you
forgetfull
of
your
honour
?
Have
you
either
so
meane
an
opinion
of
your selfe
;
or
so
weak
a
conceipt
of
our
love
,
as
to
suffer
your
desires
to
mount
no
higher
,
then
to
be
the
affectionate
Mistresse
of
a
Schoolemaster
?
H
'as
your
breeding
begot
in
you
a
neglect
of
what
you
are
,
or
a
contempt
of
that
duty
which
you
owe
?
Be
your
actions
so
dark
,
as
they
must
have
the
night
to
shelter
them
?
Must
your
Fathers
Family
receive
a
blemish
by
your
infamy
?
Is
this
the
hope
we
treasured
in
you
,
the
comfort
we
expected
from
you
?
Little
,
did
either
your
Father
or
I
imagine
what
you
meant
by
that
quaint
discourse
you
occasionally
vented
at
the
Table
;
in
talking
of
that
immodest
love
betwixt
a
wanton
Poet
and
Augustus
Daughter
.
It
seemes
you
delivered
that
Argument
only
to
try
us
,
whether
we
stood
affected
to
such
a
profession
,
on
which
you
had
pitcht
your
wilde
affection
.
Simple
Girle
!
conceive
remorse
in
time
;
do
not
undoe
your
Fortunes
;
there
is
none
yet
that
can
(
such
is
my
too
indulgent
hope
in
you
)
justly
traduce
you
;
unlesse
the
eyes
of
this
Family
.
Redeeme
their
opinion
;
be
more
tender
of
your
reputation
.
There
is
no
portion
proportionably
comparable
to
the
gage
of
honour
:
which
perish'd
,
you
are
lost
for
ever
.
No
treasure
so
precious
as
a
continent
soule
;
nothing
more
to
be
lov'd
,
and
nothing
harder
to
be
redeem'd
,
being
once
lost
.
It
will
grieve
mee
,
to
heare
your selfe
griev'd
with
the
relation
of
an
ill
report
.
You
may
bee
confident
I
shall
take
small
pleasure
in
the
discovery
of
this
nightwork
.
Well
Girle
;
those
relenting
teares
promise
amendment
:
how
soone
is
a
Mothers
anger
appeased
?
I
shall
be
ready
to
salve
all
,
so
I
finde
a
desire
in
you
to
amend
all
.
I
will
not
make
your
Father
,
your
too
passionate
Father
acquainted
with
it
;
neither
will
I
shew
in
publique
any
displeasing
countnance
towards
your
too
presumptuous
Philocles
.
All
shall
be
carried
with
that
equall
and
faire
temper
,
as
you
shall
have
cause
to
say
,
that
never
indulgent
Mother
did
more
●ender
her
Daughters
honour
:
nor
could
use
more
connivence
,
where
she
found
the
least
hope
of
repentance
.
Retire
then
with
all
privacy
into
your
Chamber
;
I
shall
charme
your
Maide
that
shee
discover
nothing
.
Only
let
this
be
a
warning
unto
you
henceforth
,
never
to
expose
your
honour
so
freely
,
as
to
give
occasion
to
the
family
to
speak
lightly
of
you
.
For
as
honest
repute
is
the
highest
prize
;
so
it
merits
of
it selfe
such
approved
praise
:
as
were
your
actions
never
so
private
,
the
eye
of
piety
would
survey
them
and
crowne
them
.
Neither
can
any
device
finde
such
a
shroud
or
shelter
for
vice
,
as
the
piercing
eye
of
fame
will
not
discover
it
,
and
display
the
Actors
when
they
least
dreame
of
it
.
Be
then
what
you
have
so
long
professed
,
vertuous
;
you
cannot
improve
the
Family
from
whence
you
came
,
better
:
nor
conferre
on
your
maiden
yeares
more
true
honour
.
This
if
you
observe
,
it
will
give
us
cause
to
blesse
you
,
and
second
the
continuance
of
our
care
,
in
providing
a
Match
for
you
that
may
equall
your
birth
and
fortunes
:
yea
,
and
to
close
all
in
one
,
confirme
the
opinion
of
your
own
fame
,
by
leaving
to
your
posterity
a
president
of
your
surviving
goodnesse
.
With
these
words
,
seeing
her
Daughter
lodged
in
her
Chamber
,
she
departed
:
leaving
poore
disappointed
Doricl●a
to
summe
up
her
discontents
,
and
to
ask
her
Pillow
counsell
in
cases
of
such
extremity
,
what
were
best
to
be
done
.
Whom
now
you
may
imagine
turning
and
tossing
in
her
bed
,
without
taking
any
rest
:
desiring
rather
to
be
deprived
of
what
re●resheth
and
nourisheth
Nature
most
,
then
to
be
rest
of
so
sweet
an
opportunity
of
enjoying
his
presence
,
whom
she
prized
best
.
For
though
she
sought
her
Parents
minds
to
please
,
Her
highest
thoughts
were
fixt
on
Philocles
.
But
the
day
must
now
supply
the
night
,
with
our
Doriclea
:
by
contenting
her selfe
with
the
sight
of
him
,
in
the
presence
of
her
Parents
,
whom
she
in
private
conference
so
much
desired
to
enjoy
.
Their
distance
must
admit
no
conference
:
all
their
language
now
must
be
delivered
by
the
eye
:
readie
no
doubt
to
expresse
by
a
look
,
how
much
their
united
hearts
stood
ingaged
to
love
.
Those
Hesperian
Daughters
never
kept
their
golden
fruit
with
more
vigilancy
,
then
restrained
Doriclea
was
by
her
Mothers
jealousie
.
So
as
,
though
her
unfeined
love
devised
many
plots
to
possesse
her
of
that
which
she
so
much
desired
,
yet
by
her
Mothers
intelligence
was
she
ever
prevented
.
Howbeit
,
she
ever
bore
faire
with
Philocles
:
never
so
much
as
discovering
any
discontent
towards
his
person
:
nor
at
any
time
reproving
him
for
his
presumption
;
in
aspiring
so
high
as
the
procurement
of
her
Daughter●
affection
.
Albeit
,
one
day
taking
him
aside
,
she
told
him
;
that
she
conceived
it
to
be
a
far
better
course
for
him
,
to
returne
to
his
former
Academick
life
:
and
that
he
lost
but
his
time
in
the
Countr●y
:
especially
,
seeing
for
the
present
they
had
no
imployments
for
him
,
that
might
any
way
improve
him
,
nor
answer
those
hopes
he
expected
,
nor
parts
deserved
:
yet
if
occasion
should
afterwards
fall
forth
that
it
lay
in
their
way
to
advance
him
:
hee
should
not
faile
in
obtaining
the
best
meanes
that
their
assistance
or
furtherance
could
possibly
procure
him
.
But
little
wrought
these
with
Philocles
:
he
preferred
one
Mistresse
before
nine
Muses
.
His
highest
of
humane
Philosophy
rested
in
the
affection
and
contemplation
of
her
on
whom
he
had
fixed
his
fancy
.
Neverthelesse
,
he
expressed
himselfe
thankfull
for
so
unwelcome
a
tender
:
pretending
ever
that
he
expected
daily
to
receive
notice
when
some
place
might
fall
,
and
then
he
would
neglect
no
more
time
but
addresse
his
course
that
way
;
which
hee
hop'd
e're
long
would
offer
it selfe
in
such
ample
manner
and
measure
,
as
might
highly
conduce
to
the
improvement
both
of
his
credit
and
profit
.
Meane
time
,
hee
hoped
,
his
demeanure
should
not
be
such
,
as
might
make
any
place
where
he
so
journed
for
the
time
,
weary
of
him
.
And
that
he
would
choose
rather
to
undergo
the
poorest
life
,
then
be
confined
to
that
place
,
where
his
carriage
might
not
merit
love
.
But
little
did
these
reasons
satisfie
jealous
Euryclea
;
who
laboured
to
prevent
the
worst
,
by
dividing
Philocles
from
her
presence
whom
she
tender'd
best
.
To
whom
we
must
now
returne
,
and
see
what
extreames
she
is
brought
to
;
who
in
this
her
languishing
plight
intimates
her
griefes
;
and
in
a
secret
repose
,
to
give
more
vent
to
passion
,
imparts
her
discontents
in
this
private
pensive
relation
.
CHAP.
XI
.
The
Passions
of
Doriclea
:
and
how
shee
conversed
with
her
owne
thoughts
in
the
effecting
of
her
love
:
inveying
against
such
ungrounded
fancies
,
who
measur●
affection
by
strength
of
allyance
,
portion
,
or
any
other
respect
,
then
the
pure
effects
of
love
.
GRiefes
never
come
unseconded
:
love-surpriz'd
Philocles
could
never
lament
more
the
inequality
of
his
fortunes
,
which
made
him
unworthy
the
embraces
of
his
endeared
Mistresse
,
in
the
opinion
of
her
Parents
:
then
this
division
from
him
whom
she
so
entirely
lov'd
,
troubled
the
dis-passionate
minde
of
Doriclea
.
Her
unsociable
disposition
now
discover'd
her
affection
.
Dark-shady
Launes
agreed
best
with
her
humour
,
where
in
some
private
Spinet
,
conversing
with
her
own
thoughts
,
she
used
to
discourse
of
the
effects
of
her
love
,
in
this
manner
.
How
far
art
thou
divided
from
thy selfe
Doriclea
?
Are
all
passages
now
stopt
up
,
of
partaking
his
society
to
whom
I
have
ingag'd
my
heart
?
Can
Children
esteeme
this
for
tender
love
,
which
deprives
them
their
sight
whom
they
only
love
?
Alas
!
do
they
hold
it
a
matter
of
such
indifferency
,
to
dispense
with
fancy
?
Admit
I
have
made
choice
of
him
for
my
dearest
Lover
,
whom
my
Parents
provided
for
my
Schoolemaster
,
must
this
deserve
such
strict
censure
,
as
to
divide
me
from
the
presence
of
my
Tutor
?
This
were
to
make
a
Truant
of
a
Scholer
.
Must
none
marry
but
with
their
equals
?
None
rich
,
match
with
poore
fortunes
?
What
will
become
then
of
poore
vertue
?
She
may
live
a
single
life
,
and
never
partake
in
the
society
of
love
.
Silken
vice
,
be
it
never
so
deformed
,
must
be
honoured
:
she
cannot
want
preferment
,
nor
choice
of
Suiters
,
nor
variety
of
Admirers
,
because
wealth
h
'as
advanc'd
her
above
the
rank
of
inferiours
.
Our
Wooers
now
adayes
must
be
rich
,
or
our
Parents
will
entertaine
them
with
a
frowne
.
Meane
time
,
what
discontent
attends
such
hopelesse
marriages
,
where
fortunes
make
up
the
match
,
while
their
affections
never
meet
?
Do●es
Loves
essence
consist
in
outward
substance
?
Was
it
this
that
made
Leander
crosse
Hellespont
,
and
intombe
his
dying
hopes
in
the
waves
?
Was
it
this
that
moved
love-seazed
Orpheus
to
encounter
all
hazards
for
his
captiv'd
Eurydice
?
Was
it
this
which
expos'd
long-divorced
Ithacus
to
all
adventures
for
his
constant
Penelope
?
Was
it
this
which
ingaged
trusty
Telamon
to
such
perils
for
his
Hesione
?
O
no!
It
was
true
love
which
drew
them
to
those
extreames
.
And
yet
did
these
rarely
ground
their
affections
upon
equality
of
descents
or
fortunes
.
Their
choice
was
better
planted
,
and
therefore
continued
longer
.
For
alas
,
what
will
honour
do
to
a
discontented
heart
?
She
that
is
so
matched
receives
small
joy
from
the
Title
of
a
Lady
,
when
this
naked
style
h
'as
bestow'd
her
on
One
she
cannot
fancy
.
Ungrounded
are
these
affections
,
and
so
weakly
to
be
weighed
,
as
I
shall
ever
choose
to
inveigh
against
them
,
who
hold
it
sufficient
glory
to
enjoy
precedency
:
meane
time
,
discontent
becomes
their
Chamberlaine
:
seeing
,
neither
style
nor
estate
can
reconcile
an
enforced
love
to
a
loathed
bed
.
O
consider
you
this
,
reverend
Parents
,
who
enjoyne
your
Children
to
live
where
they
cannot
love
!
This
it
is
,
beleeve
it
,
which
makes
modest
mindes
too
often
transgresse
,
by
conforting
with
unlawfull
loves
,
and
mixing
with
those
,
whom
sensuall
affection
h
'as
made
choice
of
in
exchange
.
Enforced
loves
beget
straying
eyes
.
They
finde
nothing
at
home
worth
affecting
,
which
makes
them
with
Dinah
to
go
abroad
,
and
with
too
prepared
a
boldnesse
to
impaune
their
honour
.
O
retract
then
your
too
severe
commands
,
who
enjoyne
your
Children
such
Tasks
,
as
affection
cannot
beare
,
nor
freedome
of
minde
embrace
,
without
a
resolved
distaste
!
It
is
better
seasonably
to
forgoe
what
we
cannot
like
;
then
seemingly
to
approve
what
we
cannot
effect
,
and
then
repent
too
late
.
For
my
resolves
,
I
hope
,
they
shall
never
close
in
any
other
period
then
this
:
That
it
shall
be
my
constant
scorne
,
to
measure
affection
by
strength
of
allyance
,
which
to
divided
hearts
can
afford
small
as●istance
;
or
portion
,
which
without
a
love-inducing
proportion
,
begets
the
enjoyer
nought
but
affliction
;
nor
any
other
respect
,
be
it
never
so
gracious
or
specious
to
the
eye
;
but
that
only
which
conveyes
pure
and
effectuall
love
to
the
heart
.
Never
let
Parents
think
that
any
other
affection
can
prosper
:
seeing
it
is
not
grounded
on
that
foundation
,
which
tenders
the
minde
true
solace
and
contentment
.
Albeit
,
such
who
make
their
choice
by
the
eye
,
receive
only
direction
by
sense
;
and
such
a
love
neither
deserves
approvement
,
nor
to
offer
it selfe
to
others
for
a
president
.
But
where
reason
and
affection
meet
,
there
such
a
sweet
union
and
communion
of
mindes
close
in
the
enjoyment
of
one
the
other
,
as
nothing
can
dissolve
that
individuall
tye
save
only
the
discharge
of
that
debt
we
owe
to
Nature
.
Yea
,
but
will

Parents
say
,
there
is
more
required
in
solemnizing
a
marriage
,
then
only
bare
love
▪
It
is
true
;
yet
where
love
is
truly
grounded
,
it
will
ever
finde
a
state
competent
to
the
minde
,
or
a
minde
competent
to
the
state
.
It
is
impure
love
that
proves
poore
.
Affection
cannot
want
:
a
very
little
sufficeth
where
love
reigneth
.
Whereas
greatest
meanes
prove
meane
fortunes
,
where
affectionate
mindes
are
wanting
to
mannage
those
fortunes
.
O
let
mee
then
enjoy
my
choice
,
and
it
is
not
in
the
world
that
shall
make
me
desire
to
change
.
Rich
am
I
above
comparison
,
enjoying
the
freedome
of
my
affection
.
Miserably
poore
above
relation
.
being
deprived
of
loves
fruition
.
Either
then
give
me
liberty
to
live
where
I
love
;
and
to
become
seaz'd
where
I
have
ingag'd
mine
heart
:
or
let
me
bee
restrain'd
for
ever
,
rather
then
so
espous'd
where
I
needs
must
hate
.
O
my
dearest
Parents
!
reflect
upon
your
owne
condition
,
when
your
unriper
yeares
gave
first
motives
to
your
glowing
thoughts
of
affection
.
Did
you
only
value
meanes
?
Was
portion
the
on-only
lure
?
Could
nothing
work
so
strongly
on
fancy
,
as
fortune
or
outward
ability
?
Yes
,
yes
;
more
purely
were
your
undefiled
loves
grounded
,
and
more
successively
graced
,
then
with
the
refuse
of
Earthy
Oare
to
be
only
guilded
.
Look
then
down
upon
us
;
we
are
of
the
same
mould
;
if
our
temper
were
impu●er
,
we
should
lesse
deserve
the
priviledge
of
your
favour
.
Since
we
resemble
you
in
our
desires
,
second
what
we
desire
,
and
accompt
of
us
,
as
you
shall
value
the
estimate
of
our
deserts
.
Howsoever
Doriclea
,
be
it
thy
assay
to
reteine
the
good
opinion
thou
hast
purchas'd
from
thy
Philocles
;
his
constancie
h
'as
deserv'd
thee
;
his
demeriting
parts
every
way
equall
with
those
fortunes
thy
friends
may
conferre
on
thee
.
Meane
time
,
endure
the
aversenesse
of
thy
Parents
with
patience
,
so
may
the
effect
crowne
thy
hope
,
and
minister
thee
seasonable
reliefe
,
when
all
visible
meanes
denie
helpe
.
Thus
conversed
Doriclea
with
her
own
thoughts
;
thus
with
much
privacie
discovered
she
her
owne
passions
.
Resolved
to
endure
whatsoever
fate
or
fortune
might
inflict
,
rather
then
forgoe
the
choice
of
her
Philocles
,
whom
shee
before
all
others
did
affect
.
But
how
much
shee
became
deprived
of
all
meanes
to
expresse
the
love
shee
professed
,
and
which
remained
so
constantly
fixed
,
as
nothing
but
death
could
divide
it
,
the
Chapter
ensuing
will
declare
:
where
you
shall
finde
nothing
so
constant
an
attendant
to
love
as
care
:
nor
no
distemper
,
when
brought
to
extreames
,
more
desperate
of
cure
.
CHAP.

How
Doriclea
,
being
deprived
all
meanes
of
imparting
the
constancy
of
her
zeale
to
Philocles
:
having
neither
the
benefit
of
Inke
nor
Paper
,
to
discover
her
loyall
intimate
thoughts
to
her
faithfull
Lover
;
shee
supplyed
that
want
with
her
needle
,
sowing
her
minde
in
Letters
of
gold
,
and
returning
them
in
the
border
of
a
handkerchiefe
.
SO
jealous
was
Euryclea
grown
of
the
love
of
her
Daughter
and
her
amorous
Scholer
:
as
,
though
she
prevented
all
means
of
familiar
conference
or
treaty
one
with
the
other
,
yet
she
still
doubted
the
worst
:
wherefore
finding
her
Daughter
one
Evening
privately
in
her
Chamber
writing
,
and
perceiving
the
character
by
the
first
blush
,
and
too
hasty
subscription
of
her
Letter
:
to
Doricleas
small
comfort
,
she
thus
encounter'd
her
.
What
,
Girle
,
will
this
never
be
left
?
Will
your
Mothers
instructions
receive
no
place
?
Is
there
none
for
you
to
love
,
but
whom
we
dislike
?
Trust
me
,
Daughter
,
this
will
neither
redound
to
your
comfort
nor
credit
?
I
pray
you
,
what
hopes
may
you
look
for
at
his
hands
?
Will
his
unprocured
revenews
maintaine
you
?
Or
his
Philosophy
feed
you
?
Or
the
leane
hopes
of
some
fat
Advousion
hereafter
sustaine
you
?
Las
,
do
you
not
see
how
a
Scholer
is
but
made
an
instrument
of
necessity
:
and
after
he
h'as
done
his
work
,
like
an
old
decaied
Servingman
to
be
discarded
;
or
if
he
stay
,
to
be
fed
with
reversions
;
or
take
his
repast
without
feare
of
a
surfet
,
at
a
Philosophers
dinner
?
Prevent
then
this
foolish
love
:
which
,
lest
you
should
hereafter
signifie
by
the
least
line
,
I
shall
remove
all
occasion
:
for
Pen
and
Paper
you
shall
have
none
to
expresse
your
inconsiderate
affection
:
the
period
whereof
may
bring
you
to
a
too
untimely
affliction
.
Nay
more
;
assure
your selfe
,
that
the
next
time
wherein
I
shall
observe
the
least
semblance
of
your
unseasoned
love
,
I
shall
divide
you
beyond
the
distance
or
limit
of
any
line
.
No
pretended
excuse
shall
satisfie
me
,
to
induce
me
to
suffer
him
to
sojourne
any
longer
within
our
gates
.
Resolve
then
what
you
meane
to
doe
;
fixe
not
your
distemper'd
fancy
on
him
whom
you
cannot
have
.
Submit
your
affection
in
all
obedience
to
our
choice
.
In
vaine
it
is
to
oppose
us
,
seeing
you
labour
to
intercede
for
that
which
you
can
never
receive
from
us
.
I
have
hitherto
shrouded
your
too
forward
fancy
:
and
casten
such
a
vaile
before
the
eyes
of
the
Family
,
as
no
dishonour
yet
h
'as
touched
you
.
Compassionate
my
care
,
and
requite
it
with
a
constant
desire
,
to
effect
what
we
most
affect
:
by
setting
your
rest
on
such
a
choice
,
as
may
,
when
God
shall
send
you
one
,
support
your
charge
.
Thus
was
poore
Doriclea
deprived
all
meanes
of
imparting
the
constancie
of
her
zeale
to
Philocles
.
No
treaty
could
she
partake
with
him
.
No
line
of
love
could
she
addresse
to
him
.
Eyes
only
were
those
Messengers
of
love
,
which
so
redarted
affection
,
as
the
Optick
part
return'd
a
legible
Lecture
of
a
constant
assurance
one
to
the
other
.
Yet
would
not
this
suffice
loyall
Doriclea
;
now
must
she
skrue
her
invention
to
the
highest
Pin
,
and
by
some
other
meanes
supply
the
expression
of
her
Pen.
Which
the
pregnancy
of
loves
art
quickly
performes
.
For
having
neither
the
benefit
of
Ink
nor
Paper
,
to
discover
her
loyall-intimate
though●s
to
her
faithfull
Lover
,
she
contrives
an
other
way
to
expresse
what
she
did
so
unfeignedly
professe
:
and
in
so
modest
and
composed
a
manner
,
as
the
subtilest
part
of
jealousie
could
not
unrivet
the
secrecie
of
such
a
Letter
.
Her
Plot
is
then
to
supplie
that
want
with
her
Needle
,
sowing
her
minde
in
Letters
of
Gold
,
and
returning
them
in
a
curious
border
of
needle
work
,
so
neatly
and
artificially
shadowed
,
as
it
was
not
in
the
power
of
art
nor
strength
of
fancie
to
discover
it
.
And
amongst
other
curious
devices
which
loves
invention
composed
,
she
addressed
this
,
in
that
manner
we
have
expressed
.
Doriclea
to
Philocles
.
MY
Pen
a
Needle
now
must
be
To
manifest
my
love
to
thee
;
While
every
stitch
shall
sting
my
heart
Till
it
take
harbour
where
thou
art
;
Where
landing
,
may
it
dye
a
shore
If
e're
we
live
divided
more
.
What
strong
and
impressive
memorials
these
and
such
as
these
were
to
our
constant
Philocles
;
I
leave
to
your
judgements
,
experienc'd
Lovers
,
who
have
suffer'd
under
the
malevolent
quality
of
such
a
Planet
:
where
restrained
of
all
oportunity
,
your
Mistresses
invention
found
way
by
some
ingenious
device
or
other
after
this
manner
,
to
discover
the
constancy
of
their
affections
.
Truth
is
,
as
there
is
no
passion
which
sooner
works
distraction
then
a
depriving
or
distancing
of
us
from
the
object
of
our
affection
:
so
is
there
no
such
motive
to
the
conceipt
;
as
this
conflict
of
love
.
How
witty
it
is
in
contriving
?
How
various
in
those
numerous
delights
which
the
height
of
that
fancy
is
ever
working
?
No
difficulty
,
but
love
will
encounter
it
;
no
extremity
,
but
she
can
digest
it
.
There
is
no
action
meriting
honour
,
that
can
be
atchieved
without
labour
.
Infinite
were
those
tasks
,
and
those
full
of
jeopardie
,
which
were
imposed
on
Alcydes
,
before
he
could
be
seazed
on
his
tyrannizing
Omphale
.
Nor
were
the
affections
of
loyall
Mistresses
of
lesse
pursuit
in
their
reall
expressions
to
their
Servants
.
What
vast
unfrequented
deserts
,
unknowne
to
any
other
inhabitants
but
wilde
Beasts
,
have
their
tender
virgin-feet
traced
,
to
finde
out
those
whom
they
loved
?
What
strange
disguises
have
they
taken
;
what
eminent
fortunes
have
they
forsaken
;
what
honours
rejected
;
what
powerfull
friends
disclaimed
;
to
enjoy
one
only
friend
,
whom
they
so
highly
preferred
,
as
by
their
personall
seazure
they
held
themselves
sufficiently
enriched
?
Instances
we
might
here
bring
forth
such
store
,
as
might
make
up
a
story
of
themselves
with
out
any
other
intervening
discourse
.
But
omitting
others
both
forraine
and
moderne
,
in
reflecting
upon
our
constant
Doriclea
,
we
shall
finde
such
noble
constancy
and
masculine
spirit
in
her
,
as
every
Act
shall
present
a
sufficient
approvement
;
and
publish
her
by
the
impartiall
verdict
of
time
,
worthy
that
applause
which
the
relation
of
that
age
h
'as
given
her
.
For
as
there
was
none
which
ever
shewed
more
constancy
to
those
they
lov'd
;
so
was
there
never
any
who
with
a
more
composed
temper
encounter'd
those
affronts
which
either
friends
or
fortunes
cast
upon
her
.
Bearing
all
occurrents
with
so
sweet
and
pleasing
a
smile
,
as
even
her
very
profest
enemies
(
being
,
I
must
confesse
very
few
,
though
vertue
must
ever
have
some
)
suffered
with
her
,
turning
their
passion
into
compassion
,
the
heat
of
their
fury
into
a
relenting
admiration
of
her
fancy
:
which
became
so
equally
tempered
,
as
no
distaste
could
alter
it
:
being
no
lesse
ready
to
enter
the
List
to
enjoy
her
love
,
then
to
obtaine
the
conquest
of
enjoying
his
love
,
in
whose
bosome
she
desired
only
to
live
.
Thus
was
our
Doriclea
resolved
to
suffer
,
and
to
joy
in
her
suffering
,
that
she
might
enjoy
him
;
to
whose
affection
as
her
thoughts
were
devoted
,
so
no
houre
passed
,
wherein
she
was
not
contriving
by
one
meanes
or
other
,
for
their
honest
loves
to
be
clothed
and
closed
with
honour
.

Philocles
restraint
,
with
those
passionate
effects
which
their
enforced
absence
one
from
the
other
produc'd
.
He
findes
love
ever
most
violent
,
when
furthest
divided
from
his
Object
:
yet
amidst
these
disgusts
,
he
adviseth
her
to
patience
in
his
restraint
.
Confirming
himselfe
so
individually
hers
,
as
nothing
may
abridge
the
accomplishment
of
their
desires
,
but
Death
.
BUT
returne
we
now
to
love-restrained
Philocles
:
who
,
as
hee
was
confident
to
prevaile
,
so
he
remained
ever
jealous
of
Eurycleas
affection
to
him
.
Nor
could
that
smooth
carriage
which
she
pretended
,
free
him
from
suspicious
thoughts
.
For
in
his
private
retire
,
when
divided
from
the
eyes
of
men
,
would
he
many
times
recollect
himselfe
,
and
argue
the
promising
effects
of
this
amorous
task
:
as
if
he
were
made
sole
Moderator
of
his
own
affections
.
Sometime●
would
hee
object
to
himselfe
those
inevitable
perils
,
whereto
he
ingaged
his
hopes
and
fortunes
,
by
putting
himselfe
on
an
assay
o●
such
difficulty
:
and
which
probably
might
encounter
with
such
diversity
of
rubbs
:
as
hi●
weak
meanes
would
prove
insufficient
to
remove
them
,
and
without
much
patience
,
the
poore
mans
supportance
,
too
heavie
to
bea●●
them
.
Othertimes
,
he
would
be
so
farre
fro●
objecting
these
fears
or
encounters
of
friends●
as
he
stood
irrevokeably
addressed
to
go
〈◊〉
with
what
he
had
begun
.
Nothing
could
divert
him
;
affection
had
so
steeled
him
;
and
〈◊〉
meditation
of
the
worst
that
might
fall
ha●
so
prepared
him
;
as
come
what
could
come
▪
he
was
resolved
to
slight
all
difficulties
,
esteeming
the
conquest
more
glorious
,
by
how
muc●
the
combat
seemed
more
dangerous
.
Yet
againe
would
he
draw
back
a
little
and
call
〈◊〉
minde
those
passages
of
her
Mother
Eurycles
in
labouring
to
disswade
him
from
a
Countrey
life
,
and
advising
him
to
returne
to
his
forme●
Academick
condition
.
Surely
,
quoth
he
,
thi●
motion
aimed
at
something
.
It
was
not
〈◊〉
of
a
desire
of
my
proficiency
in
learning
,
bu●
to
divide
me
from
the
Subject
of
loving
.
Sh●
saw
something
which
she
liked
not
,
or
such
uselesse
perswasions
had
never
been
delivered
.
Well
,
I
know
not
,
what
to
conclude
upon
such
suspicious
premises
:
but
sure
I
am
,
that
a
poysonous
Snake
may
lye
hid
under
the
sweetest
hearbes
.
Those
waters
are
not
from
perill
freest
,
which
run
the
smoothest
.
And
too
forward
a
Spring
is
ever
nipt
the
soonest
.
Though
the
Fish
Sepia
bewray
her
subtile
encounter
by
a
black
colour
,
which
she
casteth
out
to
cover
her
:
others
can
go
lesse
disguised
,
and
consequently
lesse
suspected
,
yet
more
dangerous
are
these
,
because
they
delude
most
,
when
they
are
least
feared
;
surprize
soonest
,
when
we
are
least
prepared
.
Neither
were
these
diversely
perplexed
resolves
of
his
,
without
cause
,
for
whether
by
some
ill
offices
done
him
,
or
by
some
Letters
intercepted
which
came
from
him
,
or
some
other
markes
or
tokens
of
love
observed
betwixt
them
,
her
incensed
Parents
upon
complaint
made
how
Philocles
had
laboured
to
inveagle
their
Daughter
,
and
against
the
lawes
of
the
Kingdome
,
sought
privately
to
convey
her
,
he
became
restrained
:
which
was
so
farre
from
amating
his
spirit
,
as
he
applyed
all
these
extreames
as
soveraigne
Cordials
:
fearing
little
,
but
as
it
was
his
hard
fortune
to
suffer
much
for
her
:
so
her
noble
disposition
would
not
be
slow
in
returning
a
faire
requitall
,
to
recompence
those
many
occurrences
which
he
encounter'd
for
her
.
Yet
in
this
restraint
,
would
he
many
times
,
and
that
not
without
a
strong
conflict
,
break
out
in
the
discovery
of
those
passionate
effects
,
which
their
enforced
absence
one
from
the
other
produc'd
.
O
,
where
shall
I
live
,
said
he
,
being
deprived
of
her
presence
whom
I
only
love
?
O
how
sweet
were
this
restraint
unto
me
,
were
I
not
restrained
from
her
whose
presence
would
give
me
liberty
?
How
easie
are
the
fetters
of
love
?
How
unwelcome
that
liberty
which
divides
us
from
those
we
love
?
Yet
was
my
former
freedome
in
this
more
gratefull
to
me
than
this
restraint
:
in
that
I
was
admitted
to
enjoy
the
sight
of
her
,
from
whom
I
am
estranged
by
restraint
.
Neither
can
this
dis-passionate
censure
of
her
incensed
Parents
in
procuring
my
commitment
,
work
halfe
so
effectually
upon
mine
extasied
thoughts
;
as
the
griefe
I
conceive
for
my
dearest
Doriclea
:
who
,
no
doubt
,
upon
the
hearing
of
these
newes
of
my
restraint
,
will
become
so
perplexed
,
as
the
conceit
of
her
discontent
afflicts
me
more
,
then
whatsoever
her
angry
Parents
may
inflict
.
For
time
may
appeare
their
fury
,
by
reflecting
on
themselves
,
and
weighing
the
cōstancy
of
our
united
fancy
:
but
should
my
present
thraldome
beget
her
distemper
,
my
hopes
were
lost
and
perished
for
ever
.
And
what
may
I
expect
lesse
from
one
so
truly
loyall
!
No
doubt
,
but
she
h'as
found
as
well
as
my selfe
the
reall
proofe
of
that
experiment
.
Love
is
ever
most
violent
,
when
farthest
divided
from
his
object
.
So
long
as
we
have
liberty
to
enjoy
in
seeing
,
what
we
may
not
more
fully
partake
by
injoying
,
yet
our
eyes
afford
us
some
solace
,
to
allay
those
extreames
of
love
with
the
fruition
of
their
presence
.
But
when
deprived
of
that
benefit
;
and
to
supply
the
comfort
of
such
an
incomparable
Object
,
we
must
make
Grates
and
Spider-woven
wals
our
pensive
Consorts
,
would
not
imagination
hold
it
above
humane
suffering
?
No
,
no
;
while
we
live
,
we
are
made
to
be
Actors
of
passionate
Scenes
on
this
Theatre
of
love
.
Should
all
on
Earth
enjoy
what
they
desire
,
Earth
would
become
the
period
of
their
desires
:
further
,
poore
mortals
would
not
looke
,
should
they
enjoy
whatsoever
they
like
.
Resolve
then
Philocles
,
patiently
to
beare
,
what
thy
impatience
cannot
cure
.
And
amidst
these
disgusts
,
advise
her
to
patience
in
this
thy
restraint
;
that
her
anguish
give
not
fresh
fuell
to
thy
discontent
.
Be
it
thy
care
,
that
she
suffer
not
in
thy
cure
.
One
is
enough
to
perish
,
and
too
many
by
one
;
could
misery
fix
on
a
lesser
Subject
then
one
.
Setting
then
Pen
to
Paper
,
and
accommodated
by
a
convenient
Messenger
,
in
this
manner
he
imparts
his
minde
unto
her
.
Restrained
Philocles
to
Doriclea
.
GRieve
not
,
my
Deare
,
that
I
am
here
restrain'd
,
Mine
heart
lives
the●e
,
th●●gh
I
be
here
confin'd
;
Cloath
that
is
dy'd
in
graine
can
nere
be
stain'd
,
Nor
can
occurre●ts
shake
a
constant
minde
.
Let
me
in
thee
but
s●ch
a
freedome
fi●de
;
And
●en
let
Fates
,
Fri●nds
,
Fortunes
,
all
repine
,
I
shall
Doriclea's
be
,
Doriclea
mine
.
Thus
confi●ming
himselfe
so
individually
hers
,
(
though
divided
from
her
,
by
meanes
of
hers
)
as
nothing
may
abridge
the
accomplishment
of
their
desires
,
but
death
:
with
a
cheerfull
brow
he
dissembles
with
griefe
:
imploying
these
tedious
houres
of
his
restraint
in
reading
the
stories
of
discontented
Lovers
.
Where
he
found
some
in
the
way
of
enjoying
of
what
they
most
affected
,
and
suddenly
Ixion-like
deceived
with
a
Cloud
.
Others
as
deeply
plunged
in
despaire
of
injoying
what
they
loved
,
and
these
above
expectance
found
their
desires
crowned
,
where
their
hopes
were
nearely
expired
.
And
of
these
he
made
use
as
occasion
serv'd
:
sometimes
to
humble
his
hopes
,
lest
they
should
mount
or
aspire
above
themselves
.
Againe
,
were
his
hopes
depressed
;
with
other
instances
he
found
them
raised
:
&
these
were
the
most
usuall
consorts
wherewith
he
conversed
,
in
those
retyred
walkes
whereto
he
was
confined
.
But
how
heavily
his
constant
Doriclea
took
his
restraint
,
it
is
not
easie
to
expresse
:
being
not
only
deprived
of
his
presence
,
the
highest
benefit
which
was
admitted
her
:
but
equally
suffering
with
him
,
conceiving
how
those
extremities
which
he
now
suffered
,
were
inflicted
on
him
by
her
inraged
Parents
for
the
love
which
he
bare
her
.
These
wrought
strange
effects
in
her
passionate
thoughts
.
Labouring
sometimes
by
meanes
of
Friends
,
other
sometimes
by
private
policies
,
his
freedome
from
durance
:
but
the
issue
never
seconded
her
desires
:
so
as
,
she
resolv'd
to
impose
that
upon
her selfe
freely
,
what
her
Philocles
was
enforced
to
suffer
of
necessity
.
But
from
these
extreames
we
must
now
descend
to
other
occurrents
:
and
leave
these
two
divided
Lovers
,
to
the
relation
of
their
own
griefes
,
with
this
constant
resolve
;
that
nothing
may
divorce
their
loves
,
but
their
graves
.

Doriclea
understands
by
an
aged
Hermit
of
Mardanes
practise
:
how
he
intends
to
enjoy
her
by
indirect
meanes
:
And
how
the
Spels
of
Spurcina
,
the
Inchantresse
with
whom
Mardanes
contracted
were
ever
frustrated
,
by
the
devout
morning
exercise
of
Doriclea
,
signing
her selfe
every
morning
in
her
going
abroad
with
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
;
a
soveraigne
receipt
against
Spurcina's
Charm
.
WIth
what
distaste
our
ancient
Suiter
Mardanes
took
Doriclea's
rejection
,
we
shall
easisily
gather
by
this
story
which
hapned
in
this
manner
.
This
contemptible
worldling
having
sought
by
all
meanes
to
enjoy
his
Mistresse
;
who
made
the
object
of
her
thoughts
of
farre
ampler
extent
then
riches
;
but
all
in
vaine
:
for
besides
their
inequality
of
yeares
,
their
disparity
of
dis●osition
would
ever
run
discord
,
and
disrelish
nothing
more
then
union
:
to
shew
the
unworthinesse
of
his
debaucht
mind
every
way
,
what
his
faire
proffers
could
not
procure
,
he
meanes
by
indirect
wayes
to
effect
.
Which
by
the
notice
of
an
aged
Hermit
became
happily
discovered
.
D●riclea
,
now
in
her
voluntary
retire
,
used
to
converse
with
very
few
:
only
sometimes
it
was
her
custome
to
repaire
to
a
pleasant
soveraigne
Spring
,
to
bathe
her selfe
according
to
the
season
of
the
yeare
:
neare
which
there
lived
an
old
religious
Hermit
:
a
man
of
a
strict
and
rigid
life
.
To
this
devout
man
,
had
Doriclea
often
resorted
,
and
with
him
conversed
:
from
whom
she
had
received
much
comfort
,
as
she
her selfe
confessed
.
So
as
,
comming
one
day
occasionally
to
him
,
he
imparted
his
minde
fully
and
freely
to
her
;
which
fell
forth
happily
for
her
,
as
you
shall
heare
hereafter
.
Daughter
,
Penell
Hils
;
Thus
after
a
reverend
salute
,
and
humble
adie●
by
Doriclea
to
this
ancient
Hermit
;
they
both
retired
,
but
severall
wayes
.
He
to
his
Cell
,
she
to
her selfe
:
where
imagine
her
,
upon
a
due
and
serious
discussion
of
every
particular
,
touching
the
strange
relation
of
that
reverend
Father
,
unloading
her
troubled
brest
,
full
of
perplexed
passions
,
after
this
manner
.
Unhappie
Doriclea
!
is
thy
fortune
such
,
as
thou
must
not
only
be
divided
from
those
thou
lovest
,
but
by
indirect
meanes
coopled
to
those
thou
loathest
?
What
have
I
done
,
that
I
should
thus
incense
those
Superiour
powers
against
me
?
Have
I
at
any
time
dishonoured
their
temples
:
or
cloathed
my
vices
with
pretended
vertues
?
Have
I
violated
my
faith
:
or
where
I
professed
love
,
proved
false
?
Have
I
●●boured
to
delude
a
simple
lover
:
or
gloried
in
the
conquest
of
my
inferiour
?
H●ve
I
not
perform'd
those
sacred
vowes
which
piety
enjoyn'd
me
:
or
neglected
that
office
which
charitie
exacted
of
me
?
Were
my
professions
of
love
directed
for
lucre
,
wanton
dalliance
,
or
pursuit
of
honour
:
or
have
I
fashion'd
my
habit
to
the
fancy
of
the
time
,
to
please
mine
own
humour
?
Did
I
ever
cast
out
any
light
lures
to
catch
a
cock-brain'd
lover
:
or
exprest
my selfe
to
the
deservingst
Suiter
,
too
liberall
of
mine
honour
?
Have
I
made
the
publique
street
my
Gallery
:
or
desir'd
unlawfull
looks
to
seaze
on
my
beauty
?
H
'as
my
example
given
others
liberty
of
offending
:
or
afforded
least
hope
to
a
light
wandring
eye
of
purchasing
?
Have
I
accompanied
any
presence
with
disdaine
:
or
requited
any
pious
office
with
neglect
?
Did
I
ever
wish
any
ones
hurt
:
or
requite
true
love
with
undeserved
hate
?
Yes
,
yes
,
Doriclea
,
herein
hast
thou
offended
.
Hadst
thou
lov'd
Mardanes
,
he
had
never
betaken
himselfe
to
unjust
practises
.
And
must
I
either
then
love
where
I
cannot
affect
,
or
make
those
I
reject
,
practise
what
humantiy
would
detest
?
Injurious
Mardanes
!
Hadst
thou
none
to
exercise
thy
spels
nor
inchantments
on
,
but
such
an
one
who
is
not
her
own
?
This
is
impiety
above
president
.
What
were
it
to
enjoy
,
where
thou
canst
never
partake
any
joy
:
or
inforce
her
thine
,
whom
Magick
incantation
,
no
sincere
affection
h●as
confirmed
thine
?
And
this
were
thy
case
,
Mardanes
,
in
enjoying
me
.
It
is
no
sorcery
can
beget
true
fancy
.
Where
indirect
meanes
procure
love
,
tragick
events
produce
hate
.
Desist
then
,
unhappie
man
,
from
these
assaults
,
which
shall
redound
to
thy
shame
,
and
cl●athe
thee
with
infamy
in
succeeding
times
.
Those
hellish
consorts
,
with
whom
thou
conve●sest
,
nay
,
miserably
contractest
,
are
soone
discomfited
,
when
a
more
commanding
Power
shall
countermand
it
.
Pittifull
practises
!
where
should
the
innocent'st
soule
finde
succour
;
or
a
succourlesse
Maide
harbour
,
should
these
receive
effect
to
the
desire
of
their
Author
?
So
limited
then
is
their
power
,
as
they
can
practise
nothing
that
is
impure
,
upon
a
soule
divinely
pure
.
Practise
then
,
Mardanes
,
what
thou
canst
;
thou
shalt
never
enjoy
what
thou
wouldest
.
I
am
better
fortifi'd
then
to
be
so
surprized
:
stronger
fenced
then
so
foiled
.
Nor
shall
I
cease
to
render
thankes
to
him
by
whom
I
am
,
and
by
whom
I
am
so
well
prepared
:
next
under
him
to
that
devout
man
,
by
whom
I
am
so
well
informed
.
Nor
need
I
feare
to
be
subdued
,
being
so
supported
:
nor
relinquished
,
being
so
supplyed
.
Nor
were
her
resolves
with
lesse
constancie
seconded
.
Early
and
late
offer'd
she
up
the
sacrifice
of
her
Prayers
.
Constant
was
she
in
her
care
;
to
prevent
all
insuiug
harme
.
Those
●sefull
directions
which
she
received
from
that
old
Hermit
,
she
freshly
reteined
.
Which
so
farre
prevailed
,
as
by
her
devout
morning
Exercise
(
being
the
season
which
the
Inchantresse
most
commonly
used
,
ever
hoping
to
take
her
unprovided
)
those
odious
fruitlesse
Spels
became
ever
frustrated
.
All
which
,
Spurcina
the
Spell-woman
afterwards
confessed
:
when
after
her
conviction
for
offences
of
more
high
and
hainous
quality
,
she
publiquely
attested
:
that
though
by
the
procurement
of
Mardanes
she
had
sought
early
and
late
to
practise
upon
something
received
from
her
:
yet
could
she
never
effect
her
own
desires
,
though
she
had
matter
enough
to
work
on
,
because
Doriclea
signed
her selfe
every
morning
in
her
going
abroad
with
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
:
which
that
ancient
Hermit
,
whose
name
the
Sorceresse
could
not
endure
to
heare
,
had
prescribed
for
a
soveraigne
receipt
against
her
Charme
.
Thus
lived
Doriclea
every
way
assailed
and
assaulted
;
but
never
vanquished
nor
discouraged
.
Farre
more
did
she
feare
the
welfare
of
her
deare
restrained
Philocles
:
then
the
subtilty
of
these
inchantments
.
His
liberty
she
preferred
before
her
own
safety
.
Yet
so
farre
was
she
from
procuring
what
she
so
intirely
desired
:
as
the
continued
jealousie
of
her
Parents
declined●
her
hopes
from
ever
effecting
what
she
so
much
labour'd
.
For
to
intercede
her selfe
for
his
liberty
,
she
durst
not
;
le●t
it
should
increase
their
suspition
:
and
to
intru●●
any
other
in
that
suit
,
she
had
found
it
so
fruitlesse
,
as
it
made
her
despaire
of
all
successe
.
To
a
private
retired
walke
inclosed
with
sweet
breath'd
Sycomours
,
twice
a
day
she
usually
repaired
:
where
divided
from
the
noise
of
the
world
,
she
would
passionately
converse
with
her
own
thoughts
,
and
propose
sundry
devices
for
the
freedome
of
her
Philocles
.
Wherewith
her
fancy
became
so
infinitely
pleased
:
that
though
none
of
these
took
effect
,
yet
i●
contented
her
to
imagine
how
she
might
by
such
meanes
procure
his
liberty
:
whereof
he
remain'd
deprived
for
his
loyalty
.
And
in
thi●
retired
shade
,
o●
Elysian
Grove
:
for
Art
and
Nature
had
exprest
their
distinct
workmanships
in
it
;
sometimes
should
she
chance
to
finde
the
Witch
Spurcina
,
which
confirmed
what
the
Hermit
had
affirmed
:
but
bein●
demanded
by
Doriclea
,
what
occasion
she
had
there
:
her
excuses
would
appeare
n●
lesse
lame
than
her selfe
.
Sometimes
pretending
that
shee
came
thither
to
gather
some
Hearbes
or
Sallets
:
or
else
perceiving
D●●●clea
to
be
walking
there
,
she
came
to
beg
som●
reliefe
at
her
charitable
hands
.
But
neither
of
these
was
her
errand
;
but
to
practise
what
she
intended
,
by
some
linnen
or
wollen
tha●
might
fall
from
her
:
which
,
though
she
no
lesse
maliciously
then
opportunately
received
,
and
by
them
practised
,
yet
were
her
Spels
ever
defeated
,
her
Charmes
frustrated
by
the
ince●●ancy
of
her
devotion
,
as
hath
been
formerly
related
.
Thus
Love's
exposed
to
a
twofold
harme
,
A
Parents
fury
,
and
a
Witches
Charme
:
The
first
she
cures

to

The
last
she

How

practised
with

Her

how

of

her

jealousie
of

side

the

divided

hopes
,
as
what
she
one
houre
intended
,
the
next
houre
she
reversed
.
But
yet
this
would
not
so
content
her
:
love
cannot
be
so
satisfied
.
She
findes
her selfe
divided
from
her selfe
,
so
long
as
she
becomes
removed
from
her
Philocles
.
On
then
she
must
,
though
all
difficulties
shold
oppose
her
:
friends
disswade
her
:
no
hope
of
obtaining
her
purpose
,
encourage
her
.
And
now
to
expedite
this
Assay
,
she
findes
none
fitter
to
commend
her
practise
to
then
her
Maide
Mellida
.
A
witty
Wench
,
who
knew
well
enough
where
her
Mistresse
shooe
pinch'd
her
:
which
if
the
Last
of
her
invention
could
ease
,
she
held
it
one
of
the
best
services
that
ever
she
could
do
her
.
And
to
her
did
Doriclea
communicate
her
thoughts
and
counsels
in
this
manner
.
O
Mellida
,
thou
knowest
,
and
I
blush
that
thou
knowest
,
how
my
affection
h
'as
beene
long
time
fixed
on
Philocles
;
and
now
thou
seest
,
how
he
,
on
whom
I
have
set
my
rest
,
is
divided
from
me
.
O
advise
me
then
how
I
may
enjoy
his
presence
,
whose
absence
●s
to
me
death
.
Alas
,
thou
seest
what
discontents
attend
my
unhappy
state
,
while
I
am
here
by
jealous
eyes
prevented
,
from
enjoying
what
before
all
other
things
I
have
preferred
.
Deluded
eyes
may
imagine
that
I
have
the
world
at
will
;
because
I
am
mine
own
Mistresse
:
and
want
in
nothing
that
may
outwardly
solace
me
.
But
little
know
these
,
how
in
enjoying
what
I
have
,
it
augments
my
discontent
being
deprived
of
that
which
I
once
had
,
but
now
have
not
.
Addresse
then
the
best
advice
thou
hast
;
to
afford
me
some
comfort
amidst
these
extreames
.
Without
hope
the
heart
would
burst
.
Hope
I
reteine
,
but
in
small
measure
,
〈◊〉
●rom
thee
Mellida
,
I
receive
succour
.
F●r
●
am
barr'd
all
opportunity
;
watchfull
eyes
being
ever
set
over
me
:
which
continually
labour
my
prevention
,
for
repairing
to
him
who
is
the
●ole
object
of
my
affection
Commiserate
then
my
case
,
good
Mellida
,
and
devise
some
meanes
or
other
for
me
to
enjoy
his
sight
,
without
which
I
am
lost
●or
ever
.
Lost
for
ever
answered
Mellida
!
God
forbid
Mistresse
,
that
I
should
suffer
that
,
if
it
be
in
my
power
to
prevent
.
I
had
thought
dying
for
love
had
been
a
thing
quite
out
of
request
,
in
these
dayes
.
But
since
our
too
kinde
hearts
are
made
of
such
soft
temper
,
some
Salve
must
be
provided
either
to
harden
them
,
and
so
make
them
lesse
sensible
:
or
procure
the
means
to
bring
them
to
enjoy
what
they
so
much
desire
,
and
so
make
their
sufferings
more
curable
.
Thou
examines
and
searchest
the
ground
of
my
griefe
,
and
understandest
the
meanes
how
thou
mai●t
make
the
unhappiest
Woman
alive
infinitely
happy
.
Prepare
then
by
applying
,
what
thou
perceivest
may
soonest
cure
:
there
is
no
task
so
difficult
which
●
shall
not
with
a
free
embrace
susteine
,
so
I
may
but
partake
what
I
so
incomparably
desire
.
You
do
well
,
answered
Mellida
,
thus
to
arme
your selfe
against
all
difficulties
:
but
surely
you
shall
little
need
to
stand
in
any
great
feare
of
what
I
shall
enjoyne
you
.
I
know
little
yet
what
may
in
time
befall
my selfe
:
and
then
I
must
submit
my selfe
to
others
advice
,
as
you
now
vouchsafeto
do
to
mine
.
For
indeed
the
very
wisest
in
businesse
of
this
nature
,
are
ever
found
the
greatest
fooles
▪
when
they
come
to
advise
themselves
.
But
Mistresse
,
you
have
ever
heard
,
how
Love
delights
in
nothing
more
then
in
playing
the
dissembler
.
AnteMasks
are
ever
usher'd
in
by
Whi●●lers
.
And
this
part
must
you
act
,
o●
I
know
not
what
way
else
to
supply
you
.
Love
is
personated
with
most
grace
,
when
it
entertaines
a
disguise
.
And
this
habit
must
you
undertake
:
and
now
when
I
think
of
it
,
you
may
furnish
your selfe
with
a
convenient
disguise
;
you
know
Proclus
our
Page
,
put
upon
you
his
Su●t
;
I
shall
procure
you
it
,
when
he
is
asleepe
.
With
which
you
may
privately
and
without
suspicion
convey
your selfe
.
And
if
your
Mother
inquire
of
you
,
I
shall
acquaint
her
,
that
you
are
at
rest
:
and
so
prevent
all
present
discovery
for
one
night
:
meane
time
,
by
the
benefit
of
silent
night
,
and
the
conduct
of
your
constant
friend
Alcaus
,
you
may
in
time
come
where
you
would
be
:
while
I
am
left
to
the
mercy
of
the
winds
.
For
what
may
I
answer
for
my selfe
when
you
are
gone
?
Well
,
I
will
hazard
a
service
for
your
content
and
solace
:
I
shall
hold
my selfe
happy
in
my
endeavour
,
so
you
●n
this
assay
do
but
prosper
.
Doriclea
needed
no
quickner
to
this
motion
.
Winged
are
her
desires
to
second
Mellidas
advice
.
And
having
now
fitted
her selfe
with
Proclus
Suit
,
towards
Alcaus
her
conducter
she
hastens
her
course
.
Who
exprest
himself●
very
readie
to
do
her
any
friendly
office
;
becomming
her
Guide
,
in
directing
and
accompanying
her
to
her
dearest
Friend
.
But
as
ill
successe
often
attends
best
designes
,
these
two
were
unhappily
stayed
by
the
Watch
,
upon
this
occasion
.
A
Gentle
womans
Daughter
of
good
quality
and
great
fortunes
that
very
night
chanced
to
be
stolne
away
:
upon
which
occasion
,
pursuit
was
made
:
and
especiall
direction
given
,
that
if
any
person
should
suspiciously
or
unseasonably
passe
by
the
Watch
,
they
should
be
stay'd
and
examined
.
And
such
was
the
fate
of
unfortunate
Doriclea
;
who
surprized
when
least
feared
,
must
of
necessity
with
her
Conducter
,
remaine
under
the
Constables
hands
till
the
next
morning
:
for
truth
was
,
the
Officer
(
by
what
accident●
I
know
not
,
but
you
may
partly
imagine
)
was
held
altogether
unfit
that
night
to
examine
them
,
which
of
all
others
,
hapned
the
worst
for
her
advantage
.
For
the
very
next
morning
betimes
were
all
places
set
for
staying
of
Doriclea
,
by
expresse
direction●
from
her
Parents
.
So
as
being
found
upo●
search
,
the
poore
amorou●
Girle
was
stript
o●
her
Pages
habit
,
and
re-attyr'd
in
her
own
▪
Neither
could
Alcaeus
,
without
much
meane●
and
mediation
of
friends
,
procure
his
peace
.
You
may
suppose
with
what
discontent
our
disappointed
Doriclea
returned
to
her
tedious
●●dging●
sorrow
was
her
best
melodie
;
and
her
choisest
musick
an
incessant
Lachrymae
.
For
though
her
restraint
was
before
sufficient
;
and
her
Mothers
eyes
too
too
vigilant
:
yet
now
were
their
●ares
and
feares
more
numerous
than
before
,
which
beget
far
more
intention
to
this
charge
then
before
.
Many
times
would
she
relate
her
gounds
of
discomfort
to
her
Mellida
;
who
,
poore
Wench
,
became
so
discouraged
by
the
sinister
●●ccesse
of
her
Plot
:
as
the
best
reply
she
●ould
now
shape
to
her
unhappy
Mistresse
;
was
either
silence
:
or
,
good
Mistris
be
content
,
there
is
no
hope
to
escape
.
Learne
to
forget
him
,
seeing
you
must
not
enjoy
him
.
But
this
wrought
no
effect
upon
her
affectionate
desires
.
One
assay
she
holds
not
sufficient
enough
to
expresse
her
love
to
him
,
whom
●he
esteemes
so
deare
.
One
night
therefore
,
being
impatient
of
her
disconsolate
restraint
,
she●
practiseth
with
an
aged
Woman
,
who
was
her
Mothers
hen
wife
:
to
change
apparell
with
her
,
hoping
to
receive
better
successe
under
that
disguise
,
then
her
late
Pages
habit
.
But
so
well
was
this
old
Woman
charm'd
by
her
Mother
,
as
she
became
Doricleas
discoverer
:
so
as
,
her
Mother
meeting
her
,
and
pulling
off
her
Muffler
,
this
device
received
no
better
speed
then
the
former
.
Thus
was
Doriclea
ever
practising
,
but
never
prospering
.
Nor
was
her
fancy
so
lightly
fixed
,
as
to
give
over
upon
receit
of
two
foiles
.
As
she
was
constantly
planted
in
her
affection
;
so
she
made
it
her
usuall
task
,
to
labour
after
the
enjoyment
of
him
,
to
whom
she
was
so
nearely
●ngaged
in
her
loyalty
and
devotion
.
Rich
●ooties
sweeten
the
greatest
difficulties
.
A
low-creeping
spirit
,
deserves
not
to
enjoy
the
benefit
of
fortune
.
Nor
that
love
which
is
waited
on
by
pusillanimity
,
the
just
reward
or
recompence
of
fancy
.
And
this
was
the
resolution
of
constant
Doriclea
;
who
,
though
none
more
observant
of
Parents
command
;
nor
tender
of
her
fame
;
yet
her
Philocles
mu●●
not
be
forgot
.
His
restraint
from
her
,
and
her
division
from
him
work
such
strange
effects
,
as
sleep●
becomes
a
stranger
to
her
.
Nightly
she
as●●
her
pillow
counsell
how
she
may
attain
wha●
her
longing
desires
so
much
affect
:
and
she
resolves
once
againe
to
put
in
practise
what
h●
unhappy
fortune
had
hitherto
crossed
her
in
▪
Suddenly
then
one
night
,
when
she
ima●●n'd
all
the
family
,
save
only
such
as
she
im●loyed
in
this
plot
,
to
be
fast
asleepe
,
she
pri●●ly
departed
forth
of
her
Chamber
●in●●ding
by
that
meanes
to
make
escape
.
〈◊〉
●a●ents
eyes
are
ever
vigilant
:
and
their
eare●●f
●uickest
hearing
:
especially
,
where
th●●east
jealousie
begets
in
them
a
thought
of
fear●
▪
or
enjoynes
them
to
a
seasonable
preventin●
care
.
This
might
appeare
well
in
Eurycle●
who
the
very
same
houre
lying
waking
,
an●
hearing
the
entry
doore
creek
,
presently
arose
,
and
lighting
of
a
candle
,
repaired
to
her
Daughters
lodging
;
where
drawing
neere
to
her
Daughters
bed
,
instead
of
her
Doriclea
she
found
a
Mamme●
or
feature
so
artificially
made
up
in
her
night
attire
,
as
in
represented
her
Daughter
to
life
.
Bo●lster'd
up
was
this
Puppet
with
Pillows
,
as
if
Doricl●●
had
been
●itting
up
on
end
in
her
bed
:
which
at
the
first
●ight
deluded
her
inquisitive
Mother
,
imagining
that
it
could
be
no
other
but
her
Daughter
.
So
as
,
calling
upon
Mellida
,
she
resolved
to
returne
to
her
chamber
.
Mellida
,
who
all
this
while
lay
shaking
and
trembling
in
her
bed
,
doubting
that
she
might
be
call'd
in
question
,
upon
Doricleas
discovery
:
as
one
betwixt
sleeping
and
waking
,
asked
who
was
there
?
And
perceiving
it
to
be
E●ryclea
:
oh
Mistresse
,
quoth
she
,
●what
h
'as
distemper'd
your
rest
,
to
be
out
a
bed
at
this
unseasonable
time
of
night
?
Mellida
,
said
she
,
y●u
take
great
care
of
your
Mistresse
,
to
suffer
her
to
sit
up
in
bed
and
●atch
cold
after
this
manner
.
And
drawing
neare
the
bed
,
to
put
her
Daughters
armes
and
higher
part
of
her
body
too
within
sheets
:
perceiving
it
not
to
be
her
Daughter
:
but
a
Baby-clouts
only
to
delude
her
.
It
is
not
easie
to
declare
what
extremity
of
passion
she
conceived
:
sometimes
accusing
Mellida
to
be
guilty
of
the
practise
:
threatning
her
with
the
severest
punishments
that
Law
could
in●●ict
,
if
she
told
her
not
forthwith
whither
her
Daughter
was
fled
.
But
she
,
dissembling
Girle
,
pretended
that
she
was
never
made
acquainted
with
any
such
plot
:
seemingly
wondring
,
what
time
her
Mistresse
could
have
for
making
up
any
such
piece
,
without
her
knowledge
.
And
to
allay
Eury●l●as
fury
towards
her
,
as
one
compassionating
her
case
,
she
admired
how
any
one
could
practise
to
delude
their
Mother
in
such
manner
▪
●having
beene
ever
so
tender
of
her
welfare
.
While
they
were
thus
debating
Doriclea's
escape
,
they
might
heare
one
rusling
below
:
which
Euryclea
observing
,
she
runne
haftily
downe
,
imagining
to
finde
some
of
her
servants
made
priv●e
to
this
plot
,
and
by
that
means
to
reskue
her
Daughter
.
But
far
above
her
expectance
,
she
findes
none
other
but
Doriclea
:
who
having
forgot
the
key
of
the
Court-gate
by
which
she
was
to
go
forth
,
was
turning
back
to
fetch
it
.
Who
meeting
with
her
Mother
,
what
an
unwelcome
encounter
she
received
,
I
leave
to
you
to
judge
:
being
farre
above
the
art
of
passion
to
expresse
.
But
Doriclea
set
as
good
a
count'nance
on
the
matter
as
possibly
she
could
:
telling
her
Mother
that
she
did
but
only
this
to
try
her
.
And
that
if
she
intended
any
such
escape
,
she
would
have
beene
better
provided
then
it
appeared
she
was
.
But
all
this
satisfied
her
Mother
nothing
:
for
to
encrease
the
long-grounded
jealousie
of
her
Daughters
affection
towards
Philocl●s
:
whereof
sh●
had
received
so
many
appa●ent
arguments
and
demonstrations
,
as
nothing
could
be
more
probable
,
being
to
every
observing
eye
visible
:
chancing
that
very
night
to
search
her
Daughters
pocket
,
she
found
a
Letter
bearing
Philocles
character
,
directed
to
her
in
this
manner
.
Philocles
second
Letter
during
his
restraint
.
DEarest
,
look
on
me
,
and
with
an
impartiall
eye
and
compassionate
heart
tell
me
if
any
one
ever
suffer'd
more
in
the
delay
of
her
enjoyment
whom
he
prized
most
:
or
suffer'd
more
in
the
burden
of
their
indignities
whom
he
valued
least
.
What
sad
omino●s
starre
is
it
that
so
misguides
me
,
or
darke
sullen
cloud
that
hangs
over
me
,
as
to
live
still
thus
divided
;
and
by
an
injurious
restraint
,
divorced
from
that
only
object
where
my
thoughts
are
affianced
,
and
the
constant
zeale
of
a
truly-loyall
Servant
devoted
?
I
〈◊〉
daily
travelling
in
pursuit
of
you
,
yet
fruitlesse
in
my
pursuit
;
some
sinister
occurrent
or
other
estrangeth
me
from
you
.
Did
he
ever
live
,
that
did
more
unfeignedly
love
;
or
could
more
readily
and
really
sacrifice
his
life
for
the
purchase
of
his
love
?
And
what
solace
to
recompence
so
faithfull
a
service
?
Shall
my
harvest
,
where
I
expected
so
good
a
crop
,
requite
my
long-languishing
hopes
with
tares
:
and
close
the
unhappy
Scene
of
a
lingring
life
with
fruitlesse
teares
?
O
reflect
on
these
,
and
expedite
his
blisse
,
who
never
yet
could
paint
out
his
griefes
●ith
deceiving
colours
;
nor
delude
the
Object
he
affected
,
and
to
whose
sole
choice
●e
stood
affyed
with
feined
ay-mees
:
nor
di●●ate
with
to●gue
,
nor
expresse
by
Pen
what
hee
first
conceiv'd
not
in
heart
.
Confident
I
am
(
nor
is
my
confidence
grounded
on
weak
presumptions

that
●●ny
off●cious
Agents
,
whose
parti●ular
aimes
made
them
Rhetoricall
Counsellours
,
interposed
themselves
to
divert
our
choice
,
and
offer
to
our
affections
reasons
of
change
:
yea
,
such
who
applyed
these
dangerous
receipts
to
us
both
:
to
work
their
own
ends
the
surer
,
and
ingratiate
themselves
with
us
both
,
under
a
friendly
pretence
but
forged
colour
.
Our
owne
bosomes
whe●
they
shall
become
unlocked
each
to
other
,
may
one
day
mutually
discover
;
and
smile
with
pleasure
at
such
a
selfe-loving
deceiver
.
B●t
the
winde
,
I
hope
,
is
got
into
another
Coa●t
.
So
as
,
I
doubt
not
but
your
discretion
will
henceforth
prefer
a
constant
choice
,
before
〈◊〉
inconstant
trust
.
I
have
prepared
the
way
(
and
that
by
a
Reverend
one
,
in
whom
life
and
learning
do
equally
shine
)
to
consummate
whatsoever
hath
been
so
long
proposed
,
and
as
I
hope
,
mutually
concluded
;
so
you
be
but
pleas'd
only
to
breathe
on
these
lines
with
your
pious
modest
assent
,
and
confirme
me
,
which
,
of
all
things
earthly
,
may
only
cheere
me
,
in
being
,
and
happy
in
so
being
,
inviolably
Yours
.
So
numerous
were
these
private
plots
,
confirmed
with
amorous
Letters
,
as
Euryclea
could
hold
no
longer
from
imparting
these
passages
to
her
passionate
Husband
Andr●g●us
,
who
became
so
inraged
upon
this
last
discovery
of
her
affection
,
as
he
could
containe
himselfe
within
no
bounds
of
patience
.
So
as
Doriclea
could
not
be
halfe
so
serious
nor
s●●icitous
after
the
pursuit
of
her
restrained
Philocles
;
as
Androgeus
was
to
chastlse
that
too
much
freedome
of
his
inamoured
Daughter
.
It
chanced
,
that
as
he
walked
one
evening
not
without
much
discontent
;
he
might
hear●
the
voice
of
his
Doriclea
,
from
a
private
Arbou●
neare
adjoyning
.
Whereto
drawing
neare
and
giving
good
attention
,
he
might
understand
what
griefe
she
conceiv'd
,
in
procuring
her
Parents
displeasure
so
highly
against
her
;
wherewith
she
seemed
so
infinitely
afflicted
,
as
it
struck
teares
in
the
old
mans
eyes
:
so
as
drawing
neerer
the
Arbour
,
with
purpose
to
comfort
her
,
he
accoasted
her
in
this
manner
.
How
now
Doriclea
,
what
meane
these
teares
?
Want
you
ought
that
may
conduce
to
your
content
?
Is
out
love
either
so
cold
,
or
our
care
so
light
,
as
either
of
these
should
be
occasion
to
you
of
teares
?
These
,
trust
me
,
are
no
pleasing
ayres
to
the
eare
of
a
Father
,
nor
suiting
with
the
condition
of
a
Daughter
.
Lachryme
,
replyed
she
,
should
not
only
be
in
the
eye
,
but
stamps
of
more
retentive
sorrow
in
the
heart
.
A
Pilgrims
passage
is
such
a
passionate
progresse
,
as
it
cannot
be
pursued
without
sobs
:
nor
continued
without
sighes
.
I
have
found
sufficient
occasion
for
that
Musick
:
nor
can
I
eye
that
place
,
which
may
afford
other
melody
.
A
continuall
Sinner
and
a
rar●
sigher
promiseth
small
comfort
hereafter
.
Our
dayes
are
but
few
and
evill
.
Not
an
houre
without
some
crime
to
accompany
it
.
Let
the
Soule
never
receive
her
surfet
of
sorrowing
;
till
she
h'as
first
found
in
her selfe
a
loath
to
sinning
.
But
in
these
,
deare
Sir
,
there
is
nothing
that
reteines
in
it
more
sense
;
then
the
remembrance
of
my
disobedience
.
Your
discontent
h●as
begot
in
me
the
deepest
impression
;
nor
shall
I
desire
longer
to
live
,
then
my
endeavours
shall
not
be
directed
to
regaine
your
opinion
.
Your
frowne
hath
beene
ever
my
greatest
feare
:
which
if
my
too
liberall
youth
h
'as
too
carelessely
incurr'd
:
relinquish
me
for
ever
,
if
my
penitentiall
teares
shall
not
labour
to
redeeme
.
More
would
I
speak
,
if
my
constant
zeale
and
reverence
to
your
person
would
permit
.
Be
it
yours
to
command
:
Doriclea's
to
obey
.
This
divine
Rapsodie
wrought
so
strongly
on
Androgeus
,
as
it
were
hard
to
say
,
whether
she
was
more
readie
to
crave
pardon
,
or
he
to
grant
it
.
Soone
was
his
passion
allayed
,
and
to
compassionate
teares
resolved
.
More
he
could
not
wish
then
she
had
professed
:
nor
she
in
the
office
of
obedience
performe
more
then
he
expected
.

How
Mellida
one
morning
le
ts
fall
her
Glove
;
whereon
Spurcina
the
Inchantresse
practiseth
supposing
it
to
be
Doriclea's
.
Mellida
fals
in
love
with
Mardanes
:
and
discloseth
her
passion
to
her
Mistresse
:
who
promiseth
her
best
assistance
.
MArdanes
all
this
while
desisted
not
from
in●tigating
Spurcina
to
put
in
practise
her
impious
designe
:
in
pursuit
wherof
that
hideous
Hag
was
no
lesse
forward
,
then
if
the
issue
or
successe
thereof
solely
imported
her self
.
And
now
at
last
she
holds
her selfe
perswaded
that
she
h'as
got
her
purpose
,
which
hapned
upon
this
occasion
.
Having
,
as
her
usuall
custome
was
,
many
times
repaired
to
that
private
walke
,
which
Doriclea
so
much
frequented
,
it
chanced
one
day
as
this
Beldame
was
entring
the
walke
,
she
might
perceive
with
her
old
●●mmie
eyes
a
Gentlewoman
,
whom
she
took
●or
Doriclea
,
hastily
leaving
the
walk
,
and
with
more
haste
than
good
speed
,
as
one
fixt
●pon
some
present
occasion
,
letting
fall
her
Glove
.
An
happy
opportunity
,
as
Spurcina
thought
,
to
effect
her
malicious
designe
.
With
much
joy
therefore
she
returned
,
acquainting
Mardanes
the
prime
agent
in
this
hellish
bu●●sse
,
what
good
meanes
she
had
now
to
bring
her
purpose
about
:
which
she
promised
him
to
effect
with
such
speed
,
as
his
owne
desires
●ould
not
wish
more
haste
:
nor
his
privatest
thoughts
better
successe
.
For
,
said
she
,
I
shall
by
my
secret
art
,
make
her
more
eager
in
the
pursuit
of
your
love
,
then
ever
yet
you
were
in
pursuit
of
hers
.
Which
so
transported
this
love-besotted
Mardanes
,
as
his
imagination
became
now
wholly
fixed
and
fired
in
the
●onceipt
of
his
marriage-night
.
Sometimes
thinking
what
sweet
parliance
his
inchanted
Doriclea
would
use
to
him
;
with
what
amo●ous
imbraces
she
would
expresse
her
love
unto
him
;
with
what
variety
of
winning
discourse
she
would
entertaine
him
.
Surfetting
more
after
this
manner
with
the
conceipt
of
it
,
then
if
he
had
obtain'd
the
reall
fruition
of
it
,
wherein
his
deluded
thoughts
might
seeme
to
close
with
that
opinion
of
the
Poet
:
No
doubt
,
but
th'
fancy
of
a
marriage-night
Presents
far
more
then
th'
actuall
delight
.
And
so
it
fared
with
Mardanes
:
nothing
now
pleaseth
his
palat
but
the
imaginary
pr●sentment
of
his
Doriclea
;
of
whom
he
hold●
himselfe
as
good
as
possessed
,
if
all
prove
〈◊〉
which
his
Sorceresse
h
'as
professed
.
But
as
th●
Devill
h
'as
beene
still
a
Lier
,
so
he
present●
himselfe
to
her
a
cunning
dissembler
:
Doricle●
must
be
reserved
for
an
other
Owner
:
a
mo●●
deserving
and
compleat
Lover
.
Howsoeve●
,
this
Inchantresse
Spurcina
blesseth
the
morning
that
gave
her
so
faire
an
occasion
.
And
〈◊〉
she
conceives
her selfe
to
have
happily
found
it
,
so
she
no
lesse
speedily
practiseth
on
it
:
supposing
it
still
to
be
Doricleas
,
the
sole
Obje●●
of
rejected
Mardanes
.
Great
and
unsearchable
is
Gods
permission●
in
suffering
practises
of
this
condition
.
Wh●the●
it
be
to
deterre
others
by
these
example●
not
to
be
too
secure
;
but
ever
watchfull
,
seein●
every
houre
presents
an
enemy
so
deceiptfull
▪
Or
else
to
try
and
search
the
constancy
and
faith
of
his
beloved
Champions
:
who
,
li●●
pure
gold
,
are
ever
more
and
more
refined
;
when
they
are
thus
tryed
,
and
by
Satans
Ministers
buffeted
.
Yet
is
their
power
so
bo●nded
and
limited
,
as
though
they
work
on
th●
flesh
,
yet
can
they
not
touch
nor
taint
the
●ou●●
whose
dignity
is
such
,
that
as
it
became
redeem'd
with
the
highest
price
,
so
it
become●
secured
by
adhering
to
him
that
bought
it●
from
the
injury
of
their
power
.
True
it
is
,
that
some
fall
away
,
and
that
miserably
,
by
lying
themselves
open
and
giving
way
to
the
Devils
●●btilty
:
who
under
many
formes
and
semblances
insinuates
himselfe
to
their
knowledge
:
and
by
this
meanes
seaseth
on
their
deluded
weaknesse
:
bringing
some
to
lay
viol●nt
hands
upon
themselves
:
others
to
re●ounce
their
●aith
:
others
to
labour
by
all
indirect
meanes
how
to
procur●
the
effecting
of
their
unlawfull
desires
.
But
who
are
these
,
but
such
who
have
left
God
by
preferring
the
counsell
of
the
Witch
of
Endor
,
before
the
divine
wisdome
of
their
Maker
.
And
justly
do
such
suffer
,
by
dereliction
of
their
Creator
,
and
in
a
violent
way
exposing
themselves
to
inevitable
danger
.
Now
,
what
strange
effects
Spurcina
wrought
by
practising
on
poore
Mellidas
scatter'd
Glove
,
shall
forthwith
appeare
.
For
what
private
Spels
,
Charmes
,
or
Incantations
she
had
used
,
Spurcina
and
her
Familiar
know
best
:
But
unhappy
Mellida
must
feele
the
b●unt
of
it
.
Poore
Wench
!
She
now
feeles
what
she
never
felt
before
:
a
strange
rising
at
her
stomack
with
an
infinite
desire
to
see
Marda●●s
.
Whatsoever
she
sets
her
eye
on
,
she
verily
thinks
it
presents
the
feature
of
Mard●nes
:
and
in
that
lovely
manner
,
as
her
very
heart
leapes
for
joy
with
the
conceipt
of
enjoying
so
accomplish'd
a
Lover
.
Poore
accomplishment
!
For
what
part
had
Mardanes
in
him
that
might
deservingly
beget
love
;
or
merit
the
acceptance
of
a
Mistresse
?
But
s●
so
miserably
had
Spurcina's
inchantment●
wrought
upon
her
bewitched
fancy
:
as
N●cissus
,
for
all
his
lovely
proportion
,
seemed
●vulgar
Object
,
no
,
a
contemptible
Subject
▪
being
compared
to
her
Mardanes
perso●
Which
in
a
passionate
expression
to
her self●
being
jealous
that
none
should
over-heare
h●
she
discovered
in
this
manner
!
What
in
love
Mellida
?
Nay
,
I
know
no●
it
is
a
thing
I
was
never
hitherto
acquain●●
with
;
and
if
now
,
too
soone
.
I
know
〈◊〉
well
what
to
think
on
't
;
but
if
Mard●●
be
not
a
proper
handsome
man
,
I
am
〈◊〉
deceived
.
I
remember
well
he
made
som●
times
love
to
my
Mistresse
:
and
I
wond●
much
she
should
so
neglect
him
,
being
〈◊〉
compleat
a
Gentleman
as
all
Europe
,
in
〈◊〉
conceipt
,
cannot
compare
with
him
.
〈◊〉
what
is
all
this
to
thee
Mellida
?
Canst
th●●
either
think
so
well
of
thy selfe
,
or
so
men●ly
of
him
,
as
to
imagine
that
he
will
fall
〈◊〉
from
the
Mistresse
to
the
Maide
(
a
fa●●
must
confesse
,
too
common
)
or
step
from
〈◊〉
Canopie
Curtaine
to
a
Trucklebed
?
No
Mellida
;
content
thy selfe
with
brown●●
bread
:
such
a
dainty
dish
is
reserved
fo●
choiser
tooth
.
And
yet
me
thinks
,
if
a
goo●
conceipt
of
my selfe
do
not
mad
me
;
I
fin●
something
in
me
that
may
deserve
his
lo●●
and
merit
the
title
of
a
Wife
.
If
Marriag●
were
only
to
be
made
by
equality
of
blood
,
or
fortunes
:
many
good
faces
would
be
enforc'd
to
bestow
their
beauties
on
poore
Husbands
:
yea
,
many
a
well-natur'd
Girle
might
wed
this
yeare
,
and
beg
the
next
.
I
have
read
in
my
time
,
how
Iove
fell
in
love
with
his
Milke-maide
l●
;
Apollo
with
Daphne
;
Neptune
with
Hesione
;
Theseus
with
Ariadne
;
Perseus
with
Andromeda
;
Alcides
with
Omphale
:
and
is
there
any
such
disparity
betwixt
Mardanes
and
Mellida
?
Well
;
as
I
meane
not
to
be
too
confident
,
neither
is
there
cause
that
I
should
utterly
despaire
.
Good
fortune
h
'as
before
this
fallen
into
many
Wenches
laps
unexpected
,
and
why
may
not
the
like
befall
me
?
None
of
these
bore
more
true
love
to
their
Suiters
,
then
I
do
to
my
Mardanes
.
And
,
oh
,
that
I
might
call
him
mine
!
For
I
feare
much
,
in
becomming
lesse
than
mine
,
I
shall
become
lesse
then
mine
own
.
And
just
as
she
spake
these
words
came
in
Doriclea
;
at
whose
presence
a
fresh
vermillion
dye
bestow'd
a
new
complexion
on
Mellida
.
Which
her
Mistresse
perceiving
,
having
had
experience
of
the
very
like
p●ssion
in
her selfe
,
demanded
the
cause
.
And
she
,
though
at
first
seeming
dainty
,
framing
many
apron-excuses
,
but
so
far
from
purpose
,
as
she
had
farre
better
said
nothing
:
begun
at
last
to
disclose
her
passion
to
her
Mistresse
;
acquainting
her
how
she
was
infinitely
in
love
with
Mardanes
.
Whereat
Doriclea
could
not
ch●se
at
f●st
but
smile
,
asking
her
what
she
could
see
in
him
,
that
should
move
her
to
fall
in
love
with
him
?
See
in
him
,
answered
Mellida
!
well
,
Mistresse
,
quoth
she
,
you
made
a
strange
choice
,
when
for
Mardanes
you
took
Philo●les
in
exchange
.
Why
,
pray
thee
Wench
,
said
Doriclea
,
doest
thou
hold
him
for
so
proper
a
man
?
I
trow
,
I
do
,
answered
Mellida
;
and
upon
condition
I
might
enjoy
him
,
and
purchase
his
favour
;
were
he
the
poorest
Beggar
alive
,
I
would
not
change
my
state
with
the
greatest
Emperour
.
Sufficiently
could
not
Doriclea
admire
this
strange
humour
in
her
Maide
:
and
the
more
,
in
regard
she
never
found
her
formerly
affected
to
love
any
:
but
of
all
others
Mardanes
,
from
whose
affection
she
had
sometimes
disswaded
h●r
selfe
,
when
he
was
a
Suiter
to
her
.
And
a
purpose
she
had
to
have
chid
her
,
for
her
too
much
forwardnesse
:
but
perceiving
pearled
teares
trickling
downe
her
cheeks
,
she
quickly
altered
what
she
intended
.
She
found
them
both
drawing
one
yoake
:
to
allay
then
her
discontent
,
she
became
her
Physitian
,
who
in
her
own
respect
was
no
lesse
a
Patient
.
Nay
grieve
not
woman
,
quoth
Dori●lea
,
for
the
matter
.
Since
thou
art
now
f●edg'd
in
birdlime
,
thou
must
seek
meanes
how
to
unwinde
thy selfe
.
Thou
hast
beene
ready
in
my
greatest
extreames
to
afford
me
thy
best
advice
,
and
to
●ngage
thy selfe
to
perill
for
my
sake
;
so
as
I
cannot
chuse
but
reflect
on
thee
,
if
at
any
time
I
look
upon
my
●elfe
.
Two
things
then
I
must
advise
thee
to
;
or
never
expect
successe
in
this
amorous
enterprise
;
Silence
and
Patience
.
Do
not
discover
thy
affection
to
any
:
restraine
thy
looks
when
thou
art
in
his
companie
.
Next
this
,
be
sure
thou
shew
no
impatience
,
if
at
any
time
crossed
in
thy
expectance
.
Thou
seest
how
many
sharpe
encounters
I
have
grapled
with
:
and
little
nearer
a
conquest
then
I
was
at
first
:
yet
must
I
not
suffer
my
hopes
to
be
so
extinguished
.
No
task
can
be
long
,
where
hope
pretends
a
purchase
of
love
.
Look
up
then
Wench
,
cheerefully
;
let
not
the
subtilest
Artist
draw
from
thy
look
,
the
least
blush
of
love
,
or
line
of
fancie
.
Wing
thy
desires
with
hope
,
that
hope
may
crown
thy
expectance
.
And
proceed
in
a
temperate
pursuit
,
since
thou
canst
not
dispense
with
thy
choice
;
in
which
assay
I
faithfully
promise
thee
my
best
assistance
.
This
could
not
chuse
but
highly
cheer
loveinveigled
Mellida●
to
finde
her
Mistresse
her
directresse
:
by
having
her
for
her
adviser
who
formerly
was
advised
by
her
.
But
so
strongly
did
those
amorous
Spels
work
upon
her
,
as
these
rayes
of
comfort
shone
not
long
upon
her
.
Impatient
was
her
unbounded
affection
of
delay
,
which
drove
her
into
passion
above
measure
;
as

Mellida's
passionate
love
.
PAssions
of
the
minde
are
not
wholly
suppressed
,
when
they
seeme
restrained
.
Of
all
which
,
none
work
with
more
contrariety
,
then
those
which
arise
from
a
troubled
fancie
.
Love
runs
with
too
strong
a
current
too
firce
a
torrent
to
be
staid
at
an
instant
.
This
,
poore
love-inthralled
Mellid●
felt
too
well
experienc'd
in
her
,
when
that
▪
which
so
lately
seemed
to
cheere
her
most
,
doth
now
most
afflict
her
:
nay
,
even
that
which
so
seemingly
afforded
her
the
soveraign'st
cure
,
now
becomes
the
only
producer
of
her
care
.
Such
strange
effects
had
these
Spels
of
hatefull
Spurcina
brought
forth
;
as
all
was
struck
out
of
order
,
though
at
the
first
appearance
nothing
but
promised
all
successe
to
the
undertaker
.
But
miserable
were
those
distractions
which
her
inchantments
bred
through
the
whole
family
;
but
principally
on
Mellida
,
who
now
overcome
with
a
deepe
jealousie
;
imagined
,
that
whatsoever
Doriclea
her
Mistresse
had
professed
,
were
expressions
meerely
dissembled
.
And
that
her
reall
love
towards
Mardanes
was
such
,
as
she
would
prove
her
Corrivall
rather
than
Assistant
,
by
interceding
for
her selfe
in
this
amorous
imployment
.
Which
groundlesse
suspicion
of
hers
received
life
from
that
which
if
her
deluded
thoughts
had
not
misguided
her
,
might
have
discovered
to
her
,
how
infinitely
she
stood
bound
to
her
Mistresse
for
her
love
.
For
discreet
Doriclea
perceiving
the
passionate
affection
of
Mellida
;
and
desiring
nothing
more
then
to
bring
her
in
a
way
of
enjoying
,
of
what
she
was
so
eagerly
pursuing
;
resolved
of
a
course
that
might
expedite
this
designe
:
and
this
was
,
to
expresse
all
showes
of
affection
to
Mardanes
:
as
if
she
intended
nothing
more
then
to
reteine
him
her
constant
servant
,
whom
she
had
formerly
rejected
:
and
to
redeeme
that
neglect
with
such
arguments
of
love
,
that
the
world
might
take
notice
that
he
and
none
but
he
was
the
man
whom
she
affected
.
Which
relation
(
so
ready
is
fame
to
disperse
her selfe
upon
every
occasion
)
no
sooner
vented
it selfe
abroad
,
then
her
Parents
,
supposing
her
love
to
be
now
declining
from
Philocles
,
infinitely
rejoyced
.
Nor
was
insnared
Mardanes
lesse
transported
,
hoping
e're
long
to
enjoy
what
his
desires
had
so
long
pursued
.
But
with
this
was
jealous
Mellida
no
lesse
afflicted
:
imagining
that
no
hopes
could
accompany
her
suit
,
where
her
Mistresse
affection
had
taken
place
.
Thus
in
this
Comedy
of
Errors
were
all
things
confusedly
carried
,
and
by
as
doubtfull
an
issue
attended
.
Mardanes
loves
Doriclea
,
and
he
is
loved
by
M●llida
:
and
Mellida
thinks
Mardanes
lov'd
by
Doriclea
;
when
all
her
taske
is
,
how
she
may
espouse
Mard●nes
unto
Mellida
.
Againe
,
Doriclea's
Parents
think
,
that
their
Daughter
h
'as
relinquisht
Philocles
,
and
solely
fixt
her
affection
on
Mardanes
;
whereas
the
show
of
love
she
pretends
to
Mardanes
;
is
only
to
prepare
a
way
for
her
enjoyment
of
Philocles
.
But
this
little
contents
distressed
Mellida
:
she
collects
by
what
she
sees
,
the
aime
of
what
she
most
feares
.
Her
poore
simple
heart
is
so
farre
from
dissembling
,
as
she
verily
thinkes
these
Love-signes
and
tokens
of
her
Mistresses
,
cannot
but
proceed
from
the
heart
,
and
what
hope
then
left
for
her
to
enjoy
her
Sweet-heart
?
The
medit●tion
of
these
drove
her
into
such
extreames
,
as
in
the
most
disconsolate
manner
that
ever
accompanied
perplexed
Lover
,
she
discovered
her
discontent
,
with
as
much
privacie
as
the
retirednesse
of
the
place
could
afford
;
that
the
Aire
might
be
only
witnesse
of
her
griefe
,
while
she
became
her
own
relater
.
Unhappy
Mellida
!
hadst
thou
none
to
make
choice
of
,
but
one
who
doth
despise
thee
?
None
to
impart
thy
thoughts
to
,
but
one
who
will
deceive
thee
?
Alas
!
thy
fortunes
must
not
aspire
to
such
happinesse
,
as
to
enjoy
the
imbraces
of
Mardanes
.
One
of
higher
state
prevents
thy
suit
.
He
and
thy selfe
have
now
got
one
Mistresse
.
Poore
rejected
Mellida
!
What
Sanctuary
maist
thou
retire
to
?
Or
what
affectionate
friend
maist
thou
impart
thy
minde
to
?
It
was
not
done
like
a
loving
Mistresse
to
promise
her
poore
Maide
assistance
:
and
to
betray
her
trust
,
where
she
reposed
most
confidence
.
She
might
have
disswaded
thee
from
thy
choice
,
by
acquainting
thee
how
she
meant
to
enjoy
him
her selfe
:
and
so
discouraged
thy
hopes
at
the
first
,
rather
then
thus
delude
thee
at
the
last
.
I
should
have
quickly
desisted
,
though
the
losse
of
my
love
had
shortned
the
line
of
my
life
,
had
I
but
knowne
how
she
stood
affected
.
But
under
so
faire
a
semblance
to
shroud
a
dissembling
count'nance
,
and
make
a
shew
of
affection
,
when
it
is
guilded
with
treason
;
should
I
freely
remit
it
,
Loves
Soveraig●e
would
not
so
easily
pardon
it
.
'Las
!
what
a
poore
conquest
h'as
Doriclea
got
,
in
her
competition
with
Mellida
?
who
had
never
attempted
what
she
now
affecteth
;
had
not
Doriclea
first
rejected
,
whom
she
now
esteemeth
.
The
ground
of
Mellida's
loving
,
was
Doriclea's
leaving
.
And
can
she
now
have
the
heart
to
love
,
whom
she
did
sometimes
leave
,
because
what
she
did
so
scornefully
leave
,
Mellida
begins
now
faithfully
to
love
?
Did
her
distaste
beget
my
love
,
and
must
my
love
now
beget
her
distaste
?
Well
;
this
do'es
meanely
requite
me
,
if
she
would
remember
what
fidelity
she
h'as
found
in
me
.
There
was
no
night
so
dark
,
no
task
so
hard
;
which
with
a
free
bosome
I
entertain'd
not
,
so
she
might
enjoy
what
she
had
not
.
Philocles
then
was
the
only
man
in
her
eye
,
and
I
her
Agent
which
she
wrought
by
.
Proper
parts
were
the
Adamants
of
her
affection
:
and
these
she
found
in
none
so
well
to
life
portrayed
as
in
her
Philocles
.
Mardanes
was
then
a
rough-hewen
Swaine
,
whose
presence
she
so
much
hated
,
as
she
estranged
her selfe
from
that
place
which
he
frequented
.
And
must
he
be
now
entertained
,
because
he
is
by
poore
Mellida
affected
?
Well
,
I
am
glad
that
the
love
of
her
Maide
h
'as
chang'd
her
minde
,
and
advanc'd
him
to
the
choice
of
a
Mistresse
.
Let
my
losse
be
his
gaine
;
my
deprivall
of
what
I
desire
most
,
the
enjoyment
of
her
whom
he
expected
least
.
The
ruine
of
a
poor
Maide
is
all
that
she
can
have
;
which
cannot
redound
much
to
her
honour
,
seeing
she
,
on
whom
she
so
much
relyed
,
and
to
whom
her
secret'st
counsels
were
imparted
,
became
the
only
instrument
to
undoe
her
.
Doriclea
having
over-heard
some
of
these
distemper'd
passions
of
love-sick
Mellida
,
could
containe
her selfe
no
longer
;
but
interrupting
her
in
this
manner
,
resolved
by
a
contrary
cure
to
allay
the
extremity
of
this
distemper
.
How
now
Mellida
,
h
'as
love
so
distracted
you
;
or
too
much
liberty
of
enjoying
your
own
desires
so
much
entranced
you
;
as
to
become
thus
forgetfull
of
what
you
are
,
whom
you
serve
,
or
whose
affections
you
so
highly
deserve
?
Must
my
endevours
addressed
for
your
good
be
so
interpreted
?
My
desire
of
your
advancement
so
recompensed
?
Is
your
conceipt
so
meane
of
me
,
that
these
expressions
of
my
love
and
familiar
respect
to
Mardanes
proceeds
meerely
from
my
own
affection
,
without
relation
to
your selfe
?
Or
,
that
I
did
purposely
leave
him
,
with
a
resolution
that
whensoever
you
made
choice
of
him
,
I
would
love
him
?
Trust
me
Mellida
,
this
distemper'd
fancie
tastes
of
a
frenzie
.
These
humours
will
make
your
constant'st
friends
your
profest
foes
.
Shake
off
this
jealousie
▪
lest
it
become
thy
mortall
enemy
:
I
am
the
same
I
have
professed
,
nor
will
I
faile
in
ought
I
have
professed
,
so
thy
ill-grounded
suspicion
divert
not
my
aime
;
which
effect
is
it
produce
,
blame
thy selfe
.
I
know
well
there
is
no
way
for
thee
to
attaine
thy
desires
but
by
this
meanes
.
He
must
first
take
knowledge
of
their
love
,
who
love
him
not
,
before
ever
thou
canst
enjoy
him
who
loves
thee
not
.
Doriclea
must
take
upon
her
the
person
of
Mellida
,
and
Mellida
be
taken
for
Doriclea
,
before
ever
Mardan●●
make
his
Bride
of
Mellida
.
What
I
intend
,
I
will
not
yet
discover
:
only
let
me
advise
thee
to
restraine
〈◊〉
indiscreet
humour
:
perswading
thy
,
selfe
that
Mardanes
had
never
received
a
gracefull
count'nance
from
Doriclea
,
but
in
hope
of
advancing
Mellida
.
And
that
my
better
thoughts
are
so
farre
from
domineering
in
thy
ruine
(
which
were
a
poore
conquest
indeed
)
as
it
shall
be
my
principall
ai●e
to
prevent
it
,
so
thy
indiscretion
crosse
not
my
designe
.
Let
it
suffice
thee
,
that
though
it
concerne
thee
most
,
thou
maist
be
seene
in
it
least
.
So
present
I
am
in
others
affaires
,
so
weak
in
mine
own
;
as
I
am
confident
,
unlesse
some
unexpected
opposition
divert
me
;
in
such
a
successive
manner
to
mannage
it
,
as
the
issue
shall
conduce
to
thy
profit
,
my
credit
,
in
so
fairely
carrying
it
,
as
it
may
expresse
the
affectionate
office
of
a
Mistresse
to
her
●ervant
.
These
last
words
comforted
poore
Mellida's
dejected
heart
so
much
,
as
those
seeds
of
jealousie
which
she
before
conceived
,
are
now
suppressed
.
With
destilling
eyes
she
acknowledgeth
her selfe
bound
to
so
kind
a
Mistresse
:
who
interposeth
her selfe
for
her
preferment
.
She
laments
nothing
more
then
her
late
suspicion
:
which
,
as
it
was
planted
on
weak
grounds
,
so
her
humble
desire
is
,
that
her
Mistresse
would
forgive
and
forget
it
,
as
she
seriously
vowes
never
hereafter
to
harbour
it
.
She
submits
her selfe
wholly
to
her
direction
in
this
high
project
of
her
affection
.
Wherein
,
if
her
endeavours
prosper
,
●he
becomes
her
obliged
creature
for
ever
:
if
otherwise
,
she
will
become
humbly
thankfull
,
seeing
her
affectionate
endeavours
were
no
lesse
,
though
they
prov'd
lesse
usefull
.
This
said
,
they
retired
,
for
the
closing
of
the
day
approached
;
which
gave
more
freedome
to
Doriclea's
working
thoughts
to
contrive
what
might
close
best
with
these
impatient
desires
of
her
Maide
,
and
what
might
procure
content
to
her selfe
;
which
seemed
as
yet
so
farre
divided
from
all
hope
,
as
there
appeared
not
yet
so
much
as
the
least
opportunity
to
afford
them
helpe
:
though
more
hope
of
successe
to
her
Maide
then
her selfe
,
wherein
she
rejoyced
no
lesse
then
for
her selfe
.
But
strange
occurrents
oppose
themselves
to
her
designes
:
so
as
,
whatsoever
at
the
first
view
promised
no
lesse
than
a
prosperous
close
,
became
,
as
you
shall
hereafter
understand
,
darkned
with
a
Cloud
.
Albeit
.
Doriclea's
constancy
appeared
such
,
as
the
difficulty
of
no
task
,
could
deterre
her
resolution
to
attempt
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
Philocles
procures
his
liberty
:
and
by
a
faithfull
Messenger
,
though
to
to
his
apparant
danger
,
privately
acqaints
Doriclea
with
his
delivery
:
and
assigning
here
place
whereto
she
might
safely
repaire
,
if
she
could
possibly
make
escape
.
LIttle
did
Doriclea
expect
in
this
her
pursuit
after
Mellida's
successe
,
that
she
should
heare
such
good
newes
of
her
Philocles
liberty
,
which
he
procured
upon
this
occasion
.
Diverse
Persons
of
good
quality
were
so
taken
with
the
pleasing
discourse
and
company
of
Philocles
,
as
they
usually
resorted
to
him
,
being
admitted
by
his
Keepers
freely
to
come
and
converse
with
him
.
Now
it
hapned
one
day
,
in
these
their
accustomary
visits
,
that
his
visitants
were
pleased
to
use
a
little
more
freedome
in
a
sociable
way
,
then
they
had
formerly
done
.
Which
,
whether
it
was
purposely
intended
or
no
,
I
know
not
:
but
brim●ing
healths
must
go
round
,
and
such
noble
Friends
remembred
,
as
in
common
civility
must
not
bee
neglected
.
Which
Philocles
,
(
though
naturally
most
abstemious
)
observes
for
company
sake
,
lest
he
should
be
taxed
of
an
unsociable
disposition
,
in
refusing
what
was
generally
entertained
.
But
with
such
hot
pursuit
were
these
Bacchanals
exercised
,
as
his
Keepers
braines
were
so
mudded
and
in
Lethe
steeped
;
that
they
had
farre
more
desire
to
take
one
Nap
with
Morpheus
,
then
to
taste
one
Cup
more
with
Bacchus
.
Which
strange
distemper
appearing
more
in
these
then
any
of
all
the
company
,
some
have
imputed
to
Opium
,
put
,
as
was
thought
,
into
his
Keepers
Cups
,
to
bring
them
asleepe
,
and
by
that
meanes
to
expedite
his
escape
.
Howsoever
it
hapned
,
Philocles
having
first
taken
his
civill
adue
of
those
Gentlemen
who
purposely
came
to
visit
him
:
and
to
prevent
all
occasion
of
their
accusation
,
privately
betook
him
for
a
little
to
his
Chamber
;
and
afterwards
by
the
assistance
of
an
under-Porter
who
ever
highly
respected
and
honoured
him
,
he
was
let
out
by
the
Porters
Lodge
;
and
shortly
arrived
where
he
intended
at
a
friends
house
of
his
,
where
he
was
kindly
and
hospitably
entertained
:
having
formerly
upon
diverse
mutuall
offices
betwixt
them
so
strongly
ingaged
one
another
,
as
no
respect
could
be
too
entire
,
no
undertaking
too
great
,
wherein
either
might
tender
to
other
the
profest
curtsie
of
a
votive
Brother
.
But
as
there
is
no
earthly
sweet
but
h
'as
his
soure
accompanying
it
:
so
infranchis'd
Philocles
could
not
rejoyce
●o
much
in
his
delivery
from
restraint
;
as
he
found
cause
upon
his
friends
report
to
conceive
just
ground
of
discontent
.
So
strangely
be
all
our
inferiour
joyes
interveyned
with
griefes
:
as
no
day
so
cleere
but
it
may
close
in
a
Cloud
.
And
so
it
fared
with
perplexed
Philocles
,
whose
late-enjoyed
freedome
brought
him
the
saddest
newes
that
could
ever
possibly
enter
any
true
Lovers
eares
:
for
he
heard
,
how
his
Doriclea
,
since
his
restraint
had
estranged
her
affection
from
him
,
and
fixed
it
on
Mardanes
,
her
sometimes
rejecte●
Suiter
;
and
that
their
nuptials
were
to
be
solemnized
soone
after
.
Pleasing
were
his
former
Fetters
to
these
tydings
:
each
faculty
had
lost
his
function
,
every
Organ
his
motion
,
and
could
finde
no
answer
to
such
a
relation
.
Small
fears
finde
teares
,
which
may
supply
a
tongue
,
Small
griefes
are
speakers
,
when
great
griefes
are
du●be
.
But
recollecting
himselfe
,
as
one
u●●illing
to
give
such
way
to
passion
,
as
not
to
moderate
it
with
reason
:
after
an
enforced
smile
,
he
addresseth
himselfe
to
his
friend
in
this
sort
.
Trust
me
,
firme
friend
,
I
can
scarcely
give
my
theughts
leave
to
conceipt
or
harbour
the
least
jealousie
of
Doriclea's
inconstancy
.
Nay
,
so
well
am
I
perswaded
of
her
loyalty
,
as
I
verily
think
she
would
rather
give
way
to
the
extreamest
encounters
of
faith
,
then
admit
of
the
least
breach
of
fate
.
No
;
Doriclea's
vowes
cannot
so
easily
be
infirnged
;
nor
those
divine
vertues
which
adorne
her
,
so
blemished
:
nor
those
strong
tyes
betwixt
us
,
so
dissolved
.
God
grant
it
prove
so
,
answered
his
friend
;
as
I
hope
it
will
.
Reports
are
commonly
deceiving
,
so
as
you
do
wisely
not
too
credulously
to
incline
to
them
.
After
such
discourses
as
these
,
his
friendly
Hoast
brought
this
perplexed
Guest
to
his
Chamber
;
where
after
some
merry
passages
purposely
occasioned
to
allay
his
discontents
,
he
left
him
to
his
rest
.
But
he
left
him
to
that
which
he
could
not
get
:
for
on
two
severall
tasks
he
bestowed
this
tedious
night
:
the
one
no
lesse
pleasing
,
then
the
other
dis-relishing
.
For
the
former
part
of
the
Night
,
he
bestowed
on
the
thoughts
of
that
familiar
conference
,
amorous
,
but
harmelesse
dalliance
,
sacred
vowes
,
immutable
seales
,
mutually
passed
betwixt
them
.
These
made
the
houres
of
sable
night
,
so
delightfull
,
as
no
Euphuus
golden
slumber
could
so
infinitely
cheere
him
.
He
was
wholly
extafied
with
the
gratefull
remembrance
of
these
imaginary
fancies
.
But
leaving
these
,
and
reflecting
on
those
which
he
so
lately
heard
related
:
he
found
houres
farre
longer
in
their
progression
,
then
the
other
were
,
running
so
pleasantly
upon
that
harmonious
descant
of
affection
.
Doriclea
,
false
,
said
he
!
may
that
tongue
be
ever
silent
that
shall
utter
it
;
that
injurious
conceipt
a
corrasive
to
it selfe
,
that
shall
believe
it
.
And
yet
these
relations
cannot
be
so
generally
dispersed
without
some
ground
.
Opportunity
may
do
much
where
Parents
assent
gives
way
.
Thy
restraint
,
Philocles
,
and
discontinuance
in
thy
suit
might
work
strange
effects
.
He
is
rich
who
is
thy
Corrivall
:
and
Women
must
love
to
live
,
aswell
as
live
to
love
.
Thy
impoverish'd
quality
is
a
mighty
eye-sore
to
fancy
.
Wealth
is
a
good
salve
for
age
:
and
though
she
cannot
affect
him
as
he
is
,
she
may
hug
him
for
what
he
h'as
.
Marriages
go
not
altogether
by
joyning
of
hearts
but
hands
.
His
store
will
so
highly
improve
her
state
,
as
it
will
enforce
fancy
,
and
raise
her
to
what
thy
fortunes
may
not
aspire
,
the
title
of
a
Lady
.
And
yet
me
thinkes
all
this
should
little
moye
the
constant
and
loyall
brest
of
Doriclea
.
Heavens
cannot
chuse
but
frowne
on
breach
of
faith
:
which
is
ever
attended
by
an
heavie
fate
.
Yea
;
but
admit
she
be
compelled
;
what
meanes
may
she
finde
to
resist
it
?
Parents
will
is
a
command
:
and
as
she
h'as
ever
borne
the
modesty
of
a
Maide
,
so
h'as
she
reteined
the
duty
of
a
Daughter
,
and
obedience
of
a
childe
.
Parents
command
then
might
far
prevaile
with
her
:
seeing
obedience
was
ever
so
much
preferred
by
her
:
as
all
feares
had
been
before
this
time
prevented
,
had
not
this
parentall
sacrifice
restrain'd
her
.
Well
;
be
it
so
.
Patience
shall
be
my
Crowne
:
my
prayers
for
her
successe
.
No
griefe
,
shall
so
much
surprize
me
,
as
the
desire
of
her
happinesse
shall
delight
me
.
Meane
time
,
I
will
suspend
my
judgement
:
and
expect
better
then
I
heare
:
but
if
the
issue
second
this
report
,
I
hope
soone
after
that
an
everlasting
retire
from
Earth
shall
cure
my
care
.
Thus
passed
Philocles
the
lingring
night
,
estranged
from
nothing
more
then
the
thought
of
rest
.
At
last
perceiving
Aurora's
dishevell'd
tresses
,
dispersing
her
golden
beames
through
every
corner
of
his
restlesse
roome
;
he
leaps
out
of
bed
,
and
having
made
himselfe
ready
,
and
performed
those
morning
vowes
which
his
devotion
had
enjoyned
him
;
He
sets
Pen
to
Paper
,
and
like
a
poeticall
Lover
,
in
an
amorous
manner
,
addresseth
his
last
nights
supposed
vision
,
to
his
●oriclea
:
making
a
dreame
of
love
,
by
shadowing
those
jealous
feares
for
the
losse
of
his
love
in
a
Dreame
.
Philocles
supposed
Dreame
of
Doriclea
.
WHat
sacred
Spels
my
throbbing
heart
surprize
!
Sweet
dew
of
sleepe
hath
quite
forsook
mine
eyes
.
Some
startling
dreams
I
have
,
which
more
appall
My
Soul●
,
then
if
I
had
no
sleepe
at
all
.
Sometime
I
dreaming
see
,
and
sigh
to
see
,
A
Sable-sullen
cloude
hang
over
me
And
menacing
a
storme
:
thou
full
of
f●ares
This
to
prevent
,
resolves
to
pearled
teares
:
But
more
thou
weep'st
,
the
more
provok't
thouart
,
The
fight
whereof
wounds
my
relenting
hart
.
Now
do
I
see
my
Danä
in
a
tower
Tempted
untainted
with
a
golden
shower
.
Now
my
faire
Semele
,
feeding
loves-flame
In
her
pure
brest
,
consumed
with
the
same
.
Which
visions
were
but
shadows
of
thine
,
Or
meere
conceptions
of
Prometheus
shrine
,
Which
once
enlivened
by
an
heav'nly
fire
,
Might
to
a
numerous
Family
aspire
.
Sometimes
,
me
thought
,
Isickles
sought
to
sip
Ambrosean
Nectar
from
thy
roseat
lip
;
And
this
I
check't
,
and
did
incensed
seeme
,
Telling
Old-age
,
frost
would
not
suit
with
greene
▪
Which
just
reproofe
,
me
thought
,
thou
entertain'd
With
a
sweet
smile
,
the
gole
at
which
I
aim'd
.
Whence
over-joy'd
,
I
cull'd
thee
,
where
thou
stood
,
But
like
Ixion
,
I
embrac'd
a
cloud
.
My
sacred
Genius
succour
me
,
and
keepe
My
waking
thoughts
from
such
an
ominous
sleep
!
Yet
in
these
Dreams
more
comfort
did
I
take
,
Fed
with
conceit
,
then
when
I
did
awake
;
For
dreaming
,
I
enjoy'd
thee
;
but
that
blisse
By
waking
vanish'd
;
while
I
breath'd
out
this
:
"
The
Dorian
straine
was
once
th'
best
melodie
,
"
Had
I
Doriclea
now
't
were
so
with
me
!
But
since
t'
imbrace
thee
,
dreaming
still
I
seeme
,
O
that
my
life
were
a
continued
Dreame
!
But
this
dreaming
veine
did
not
hold
long
with
him
:
he
resolves
to
acquaint
her
in
an
other
straine
;
and
tell
her
truly
that
he
was
waking
when
he
wrote
it
.
And
the
Character
of
this
Letter
must
expresse
the
benefit
of
his
freedome
;
signifying
unto
her
,
how
his
late
restraint
was
now
changed
into
liberty
;
which
priviledge
he
had
rather
for
ever
lose
,
then
be
deprived
of
the
continuance
of
her
fancy
.
To
expedite
this
affectionate
designe
,
he
directs
his
Letter
by
the
conduct
of
a
faithfull
Messenger
,
though
to
his
apparent
danger
:
acquainting
Doriclea
with
his
delivery
:
and
assigning
her
a
place
whereto
she
might
safely
repaire
,
if
she
could
possibly
make
escape
.
Delay
he
holds
dangerous
:
he
accompts
opportunity
the
sweetest
companion
to
fancy
:
desiring
nothing
more
then
that
she
would
continue
what
she
h'as
professed
,
confirme
what
she
h'as
vowed
,
&
consummate
what
both
divine
decree
and
their
own
united
hearts
have
sealed
:
closing
his
Letter
with
an
amorous
●assion
,
after
this
manner
:
Infranchis'd
Philocles
to
restrained
Doriclea
.
DEare
,
signe
this
with
your
hands
,
else
in
a
word
I
saile
,
aye
me
,
for
Ireland
with
my
Lord
,
Where
sayles
are
righes
,
Seas
,
teares
,
while
th'
friendly
winde
Shall
bring
you
word
,
I
left
mine
heart
behinde
.
But
if
you
shall
me
for
your
Consort
take
,
I●le
march
through
ranks
of
Furies
for
your
sake
.
Returne
me
answer
then
as
may
become
you
,
"
Pistols
nor
Poniards
shall
not
keep
me
from
you
.
This
was
a
strong
Resolution
,
which
〈◊〉
windes
up
with
as
loving
a
Subscription
.
This
Tearme
from
travell
am
I
staid
,
To
make
my
Consort
of
a
Maid
;
Confirme
then
,
Deare-one
,
Heav'ns
decree
,
And
make
exchange
of
hearts
with
me
:
Which
done
,
this
Posie
shall
he
thine
,
Which
is
and
must
be
ever
mine
:
"
To
live
,
and
have
no
heart
were
strange
,
"
Yet
have
I
none
but
by
exchange
.
Thus
writ
passionate
Philocles
,
which
came
shortly
after
to
the
hand
of
his
Mistresse
,
who
how
joyfully
she
received
the
report
of
his
liberty
;
but
how
passionately
those
imaginary
grounds
of
his
jealousie
,
shall
appeare
in
the
progresse
of
our
Story
.
CHAP.
XIX
.
Doriclea
by
the
advice
and
assistance
of
Mellida
gets
from
her
Keepers
:
and
in
her
flight
by
night
loseth
her
way
:
but
comming
by
chance
to
the
Hermits
house
,
where
she
took
that
night
her
repose
:
as
,
she
had
formerly
beene
directed
by
him
,
she
received
much
comfort
from
him
:
being
conducted
to
the
place
which
Philocles
advised
her
to
.
WHen
Doriclea
had
perused
this
Letter
directed
to
her
by
her
dearest
Philocles
,
it
is
not
easie
to
expresse
what
infinite
joy
she
conceived
in
the
delightfull
perusall
of
those
lines
which
signified
unto
her
the
happy
occasion
of
his
liberty
:
yet
could
she
not
chuse
but
bite
the
lip
when
she
read
those
dreaming
fancies
of
his
,
shadowing
forth
his
jealousie
.
The
comfort
the
conceived
in
the
former
,
was
made
bitter
by
relation
of
the
latter
:
which
enforced
from
her
this
just
ground
of
complaint
,
which
she
breathed
forth
in
this
manner
.
How
is
it
Philocles
,
that
the
Heavens
should
thus
look
on
thee
,
in
freeing
thee
from
restraint
,
and
thou
unthankfull
for
so
great
a
benefit
,
thus
to
abuse
the
priviledge
of
thy
liberty
?
During
thy
restraint
,
for
ought
that
ever
I
heard
,
thou
harbour'd
not
the
least
conceipt
of
jealousie
:
and
now
when
thou
enjoyest
the
freedome
of
ayre
,
and
stands
dis●ingaged
from
a
captives
care
;
like
an
habituate
prisoner
,
whose
long
restraint
seldome
makes
him
better
,
thou
picks
a
quarrell
before
offence
be
offered
,
and
hatchest
suspicion
where
none
can
be
justly
grounded
.
For
tell
me
;
pray
thee
,
tell
me
,
deare
Philocles
;
wherein
have
I
ever
given
thee
occasion
to
tax
me
of
inconstancy
;
or
in
my
bosome
desired
to
lodge
any
one
beside
thee
?
Have
I
not
neglected
all
my
fortunes
,
nay
,
my
zeale
to
those
whom
I
preferre
before
all
fortunes
,
to
bestow
my selfe
upon
a
Scholers
fortunes
?
If
either
rich
youth
or
age
could
have
wrought
on
Doriclea's
fancy
,
she
might
long
before
this
,
have
prevented
all
grounds
of
jealousie
;
and
been
a
Mistresse
of
an
ample
Family
.
And
yet
you
are
cunning
Philocles
;
you
will
not
plainly
say
you
suspect
me
,
for
that
were
to
tax
you
of
too
palpable
jealousie
:
but
you
must
shadow
all
under
a
dreame
:
and
make
visions
your
arguments
of
feare
where
you
imaginarily
see
Old-age
courting
me
;
a
rich
fortune
besieging
me
;
&
my
too
easie
Fort
sore
straitned
by
his
golden
battry
.
Well
,
Philocles
,
God
forgive
you
;
you
have
hither
to
had
sufficient
experience
,
how
much
my
disposition
hath
scorned
to
be
taken
up
by
such
prostitute
affection
.
If
Gold
would
have
done
it
,
your
loyall
Doriclea
might
before
this
have
enjoy'd
it
.
No
;
no
;
these
were
no
motives
to
me
to
inchaine
my
fancy
:
or
with
a
yeelding
hand
,
but
a
dissembling
heart
,
to
engage
my
person
to
such
a
subject
of
folly
.
O
disburden
your selfe
,
Philocles
,
of
these
conceipts
:
they
so
ill
become
you
,
as
nothing
makes
Philocles
so
unlike
himselfe
:
nor
chils
my
affection
more
towards
him
,
who
is
my
second-selfe
.
I
have
not
begged
much
at
your
hands
,
since
the
time
we
so
firmely
united
our
hearts
:
all
I
intreat
of
you
is
this
,
and
it
will
redound
to
your
own
hearts-ease
as
well
as
mine
:
to
discard
these
injurious
conceipts
towards
your
own
,
by
reflecting
on
her
who
can
be
no
lesse
then
yours
,
if
her
own
.
And
trust
me
,
deare
Sir
,
you
may
thank
God
,
that
you
remaine
seazed
of
such
a
heart
,
which
is
not
apt
to
take
offence
where
such
good
occasion
is
offered
.
Some
cautious
Girles
,
if
they
had
but
perceived
the
least
inclination
to
jealousie
in
their
amorous
Suiters
,
which
your
own
Character
h
'as
sufficiently
discovered
in
you
,
they
would
in
time
have
prevented
that
mischiefe
which
might
have
incurred
;
and
collected
what
domineering
jealous
Husbands
they
would
have
showne
themselves
being
once
married
,
having
exprest
themselves
such
suspicious
Batchlers
,
when
they
were
unbestowed
.
But
love
findes
an
easie
shroud
for
the
highest
crimes
:
nor
can
Doriclea
interpret
Philocles
Dreame
any
otherwise
then
an
unbounded
affection
breaking
into
extreames
:
which
,
when
it
cannot
with
sufficient
freedome
impart
her
strength
by
day
,
borrowes
of
the
night
to
discover
in
a
dreame
.
And
who
can
blame
such
vigilant
love
;
when
the
eyes
though
they
sleepe
,
the
heart
keepes
true
Centinell
,
lest
fancy
should
take
her
opportunity
and
make
her
escape
?
Free
leave
then
do
I
give
thee
,
Philocles
,
to
dreame
still
of
me
;
but
so
,
that
thy
dreames
do
not
suspect
me
.
For
so
might
thy
deluded
imagination
,
which
is
seldome
attended
on
by
reason
,
present
to
thee
what
is
false
for
what
is
true
:
and
make
thee
credulously
beleeve
,
that
inconstancy
may
accompany
true
love
.
Surcease
then
from
these
,
as
I
shall
sooner
cease
to
live
,
then
withdraw
my
love
from
Philocles
.
Thus
discoursed
constant
Doriclea
with
her
Philocles
,
in
the
absence
of
her
Philocles
.
But
least
she
might
forget
her selfe
by
neglecting
what
her
dearest
choice
expects
:
after
such
time
as
she
had
rewarded
the
Messenger
,
who
brought
her
that
Letter
,
and
that
to
his
apparant
danger
,
had
not
the
late
conceipt
which
Doriclea's
Parents
conceived
of
their
Daughters
declining
her
affection
from
Philocles
secured
him
,
and
given
him
freer
accesse
unto
her
:
She
,
I
say
,
prepares
to
second
her
Philocles
desire
,
by
accommodating
her selfe
with
all
conveniencies
,
and
addressing
her
course
to
that
place
,
whereto
Philocles
in
his
Letter
had
given
her
directions
to
repaire
.
Defist
then
she
must
for
the
present
,
from
spinning
Mellida's
love-threed
:
that
she
might
weave
up
her
own
the
better
:
for
though
the
furtherance
of
Mellida's
suit
was
deare
unto
her
:
desiring
much
to
have
her
seazed
of
those
ample
fortunes
of
her
undeserving
Lover
:
yet
her
own
case
must
be
first
preferr'd
,
being
urged
by
such
importunity
,
as
she
held
it
fitting
then
or
never
to
discover
those
true
effects
of
fancy
.
By
the
advice
then
and
assistance
of
Mellida
;
whose
wits
were
ever
more
pregnant
in
devising
for
her
Mistresse
then
her selfe
,
and
to
whose
vertuous
love
she
wished
no
lesse
successe
then
to
her selfe
;
Doriclea
gets
from
her
Keepers
,
being
then
more
secure
of
their
charge
then
before
,
in
regard
her
Parents
became
lesse
jealous
of
her
love
to
Philocles
then
before
.
Dark
was
the
night
,
which
promised
her
more
security
:
but
an
inconvenience
she
findes
in
it
:
for
in
this
her
flight
by
night
she
loseth
her
way
.
Up
and
downe
she
wand'reth
,
and
wandring
,
wooeth
the
Stars
,
that
they
would
afford
a
distressed
Maide
,
some
small
beamelings
of
their
light
,
to
guide
her
to
that
place
where
chaste
●ove
had
treasured
her
richest
prize
.
But
many
by-paths
she
took
,
ever
travelling
,
but
little
nearer
approaching
the
place
,
at
which
she
aym'd
:
which
deeply
perplexed
her
love-inflamed
minde
.
Till
at
last
,
(
so
propitious
were
the
Stars
to
their
vertuously-grounded
loves
)
comming
by
chance
to
the
Hermits
house
,
she
took
that
night
there
her
repose
.
Next
morning
early
,
for
little
power
had
sleepe
upon
her
fancy
;
she
acquainted
this
aged
Father
with
the
whole
passage
of
her
intendments
:
F●r●t
,
how
she
had
received
knowledge
of
Philocles
liberty
,
with
what
desire
she
had
to
observe
the
time
which
he
had
limited
,
with
the
place
which
he
had
proposed
for
her
to
repaire
to
:
humbly
craving
of
him
,
that
as
she
had
been
formerly
directed
by
him
,
he
would
be
pleased
to
continue
his
care
,
by
affording
her
his
best
advice
in
a
case
of
such
necessity
,
as
the
issue
made
her
of
all
others
either
most
fortunate
,
or
most
unhappy
.
And
that
he
would
not
●mpute
this
her
private
departure
from
her
Fathers
house
,
to
any
act
of
immodesty
,
but
to
the
constancy
of
her
affection
,
which
had
expos'd
her
to
all
extremity
.
The
good
old
man
,
who
had
ever
tender'd
her
well-fare
;
could
not
forbeare
from
shedding
teares
,
in
hearing
her
expresse
those
passionate
overtures
and
passages
of
her
love
:
with
what
desperate
adventures
she
had
encounter'd
to
partake
,
what
her
vertuous
desires
so
unfeignedly
sought
.
But
affection
must
have
a
mor●
soveraigne
balme
applyed
to
her
,
then
any
effeminate
passion
.
Eyes
compassionately
w●eping
without
a
brain
effectually
working
,
can
bestead
poore
Doriclea
nothing
.
First
then
,
he
proposeth
the
way
for
her
to
obtaine
what
she
would
:
which
he
strengthneth
with
such
able
directions
,
as
being
well
observed
,
they
promised
nothing
lesse
then
an
happy
arrivall
at
the
place
whereto
she
aimed
:
with
a
prosperous
conclusion
to
their
long
delayed
desires
,
having
there
arrived
.
And
to
encourage
her
the
more
,
he
applyed
these
receipts
unto
her
which
so
infini●ely
cheered
her
,
as
her
confidence
readily
winged
her
enlivened
fancy
with
an
undoubted
assurance
of
successe
.
Daughter
,
faire
out-sides
fall
short
of
,
who
affect
nothing
more
than
to
appeare
most
,
what
they
inwardly
professe
least
.
For
these
whos
'ere
they
be
▪
seeme
thus
to
me
,
They
be
and
seem
not
,
seem
what
least
they
be
.
For
goodnesse-sake
estrange
your
better-disposed
thoughts
from
these
painted
Puppets
:
who
may
be
aptly
resembled
to
the
Zibethum
,
which
naturally
yeelds
a
sweet
perfume
to
others
,
but
reteines
a
stinking
sent
to
it selfe
.
Let
those
preciou●
odours
of
your
vertues
not
only
afford
sweetnesse
to
others
,
in
proposing
an
example
worthy
imitation
:
but
to
your
owne
heart
,
which
cannot
flye
from
it selfe
,
but
must
one
day
returne
as
it
do'es
now
reteine
,
of
whatsoever
it
hath
receiv'd
,
a
true
naked
impression
.
You
have
now
enter'd
the
Maine
:
where
you
shall
graple
with
many
contrary
winds
,
and
surging
waves
.
Report
,
like
an
ill-winde
,
will
be
quickly
raised
:
and
this
may
happily
disperse
a
light
fa●●e
upon
all
your
actions
.
As
first
,
this
private
retire
from
your
Parents
,
and
making
your
selfe
carver
of
your
own
affections
without
.
their
consent
,
may
beget
you
a
strange
opinion
in
the
world
.
Men
will
judge
all
is
●ot
well
;
more
then
pure
love
drove
you
to
●●ese
courses
.
Waves
likewise
there
will
be
to
menace
your
ruine
.
Divided
passions
to
perplexe
you
,
and
inthrall
your
late-enjoyed
freedome
to
the
worst
of
extreames
.
Yet
,
what
of
all
these
?
The
roughest
windes
of
infamy
to
a
pure
and
undefiled
minde
can
do
no
injury
.
Nor
all
those
naturall
inbred
passions
which
breed
distemper'd
spirits
most
disquiets
,
can
annoy
the
rest
of
that
Soule
which
is
fixt
on
the
exercise
of
piety
:
and
makes
her
triumph
over
her
own
affections
,
her
highest
victory
.
Observe
this
rule
,
Deare
Daughter
,
and
these
intended
Spousals
of
yours
shall
finde
an
happy
period
:
and
after
so
many
violent
windes
of
infamous
tongues
:
so
many
turbulent
waves
of
swelling
passions
;
you
shall
finde
that
calmenesse
,
as
neither
that
lownesse
of
fortune
which
may
hereafter
encounter
you
,
shall
amate
you
:
nor
all
those
contemps
which
injurious
disdaine
may
throw
upon
you
,
an
way
disturbe
you
.
I
have
showne
you
the
best
roade
,
which
if
you
hold
directly
,
you
cannot
but
arrive
safely
.
Doriclea
having
received
much
comfort
f●om
these
instructions
of
the
Hermit
:
and
encouraged
too
with
the
promise
of
his
conduct
to
the
place
which
Philocles
advised
her
to
:
after
a
small
repast
(
being
enough
for
a
stomack
inflamed
with
love
,
to
digest
)
she
addressed
her selfe
to
the
short
remainder
of
her
journey
;
which
though
short
,
had
appear'd
long
to
her
longing
fancy
,
had
not
the
difficulty
of
the
way
been
sweetned
with
the
Hermits
company
:
by
whose
happy
convoy
she
soone
arrived
,
where
her
desires
were
lodged
,
and
where
she
found
her
Philocles
safely
reposed
.
CHAP.
XX.
The
great
content
and
joy
which
these
two
long-divided
Lovers
conceived
in
one
of
the
others
presence
:
The
relation
of
their
former
griefs
being
an
addition
to
their
present
joyes
.
NO
calme
so
cheerfull
as
after
a
storme
;
no
harbour
so
gratefull
as
after
a
rough
Sea
.
The
least
beameling
breaking
forth
of
a
Cloud
appeares
like
a
more
full
and
glorious
light
.
This
experimentally
felt
these
long-divided
Lovers
,
who
conceived
such
infinite
joy
and
content
in
the
sight
of
one
the
other
:
as
their
first
encounter
for
want
of
expression
closed
it selfe
in
silence
,
wanting
a
tongue
to
discover
what
delight
their
intranced
apprehensions
took
in
one
anothers
presence
.
Looks
now
were
to
supply
more
discursive
Organs
:
gladly
would
their
affectionate
breasts
unfold
themselves
,
and
relate
those
many
occurrents
which
their
true
loves
had
passed
and
with
comfort
vanquished
:
but
their
desires
must
be
first
feasted
with
eying
and
intentive
looking
upon
one
another
.
This
must
be
the
pleasing
prelude
to
a
more
delightfull
Sceane
:
at
last
,
affection
labouring
of
too
strong
a
passion
,
to
be
enjoyned
a
perpetuall
silence
,
broke
forth
on
Philocles
behalfe
after
this
manner
.
Ah
Doriclea
!
which
taking
accent
so
transported
him
,
as
not
an
other
word
for
a
long
space
came
from
him
.
Am
I
in
a
Dreame
or
waking
?
Can
I
imagine
any
mortall
capable
of
such
joy
?
How
plea●ing
now
is
the
memory
of
my
restraint
?
My
long
division
from
thee
,
my
dearest
Doriclea
,
whom
I
preferred
before
the
world
?
For
to
be
ever
happy
so
surfets
the
conceipt
,
as
it
dreames
of
no
other
state
:
a
small
storme
to
him
who
hath
ever
enjoy'd
a
calme
,
seemes
like
a
tempest
.
Whereas
my
present
condition
makes
me
more
sensible
of
my
former
affliction
.
I
was
deprived
of
thee
whom
I
incomparably
loved
.
From
all
civill
curt'sies
,
save
such
as
I
received
from
strangers
,
excluded
.
All
hopes
of
future
advancement
,
by
thy
Parents
distaste
,
estranged
.
A
Grate
became
my
best
prospect
:
the
World
my
story
:
where
I
saw
no
action
of
sorrow
presented
more
to
life
,
then
my
own
misery
.
O
how
the
relation
of
our
former
griefs
become
an
addition
to
our
present
joyes
!
Before
I
had
none
to
converse
with
,
but
such
pittilesse
Guardians
,
as
rejoyced
in
my
restraint
.
Tedious
were
the
houres
of
my
life
,
because
divided
from
the
object
of
my
love
.
Terrors
I
encounter'd
with
daily
:
passions
I
wrastled
with
hourely
.
No
receipt
found
I
to
allay
my
griefe
:
none
to
impart
my
woes
to
,
but
such
whose
hearts
were
iron-temper'd
like
my
Grate
.
O
what
an
exchange
have
I
found
,
in
being
free'd
from
what
did
so
inthrall
me
:
and
in
being
restored
to
her
presence
,
which
of
all
earthly
joyes
doth
only
revive
me
!
O
my
Doriclea
,
how
many
fearfull
visions
have
startled
me
!
how
many
distemper'd
Dreames
have
disquieted
me
!
And
whence
proceeded
all
these
but
from
that
love
and
feare
equally
working
,
and
no
lesse
sundry
effects
producing
,
which
had
taken
such
strong
possession
of
me
,
as
not
to
be
removed
without
enjoyment
of
thee
?
At
which
,
Doriclea
interrupting
him
,
after
a
more
cheerefull
recollection
of
her
over-joy'd
spirits
,
said
unto
him
.
O
my
deare
Philocles
,
I
am
an
eye-witnesse
of
your
distemper'd
dreames
!
You
know
well
what
the
Contents
of
your
last
Letter
discovered
:
trust
me
,
I
will
not
chide
you
,
for
I
can
finde
no
such
language
in
my
tongue
:
but
I
would
not
for
a
world
have
you
think
waking
,
what
you
suspect
dreaming
.
Philocles
calling
to
min
dethe
purport
of
that
paper
of
Verses
he
had
writ
unto
her
:
and
how
much
his
too
affectionate
feare
had
made
him
transgresse
:
desiring
her
pardon
,
by
imputing
that
error
to
report
;
acknowledged
his
fault
,
and
condemned
that
too
liberall
relation
of
erring
fame
.
What
relation
might
that
be
,
my
endeared
Philocles
,
answered
Doriclea
?
H
'as
fame
reported
to
you
,
that
since
your
heavie
restraint
,
I
have
been
too
liberall
of
mine
honour
,
or
admitted
too
much
freedome
to
an
intrusive
Suiter
?
Have
I
slighted
you
in
any
discourse
,
or
preferred
any
other
in
your
place
?
So
indeed
,
report
went
,
replyed
Philocles
;
that
your
sometimes
rejected
suiter
,
rich
Mardanes
,
had
obtain'd
your
affection
:
and
that
your
marriage
was
to
be
shortly
solemnized
.
What
,
Mardanes
,
answered
Doriclea
?
Nay
,
then
me
thinkes
you
should
have
holden
your selfe
safe
enough
:
for
of
all
men
,
to
engage
my
fancy
to
an
Earth-worme
,
whose
ambition
consists
in
having
,
but
never
in
enjoying
:
and
who
prefers
this
poore
rubbish
of
Earth
before
the
treasure
of
a
divine
minde
,
my
firme
resolution
hath
been
ever
so
farre
divided
,
as
I
should
loathe
my selfe
to
be
so
matched
.
Panarchus
sometimes
propounded
a
Riddle
,
and
it
was
this
:
How
a
man
and
no
man
,
can
with
a
stone
and
no
stone
,
kill
a
bird
and
no
bird
,
sitting
upon
a
tree
and
no
tree
?
And
Athenaeus
makes
the
answ●r
;
●●at
an
●●uch
is
the
man
,
and
a
〈…〉
is
the
bird
,
Fennell
is
the
tree
.
Surely
,
I
had
rather
contract
my selfe
with
the
first
,
and
with
modesty
I
speak
it
,
content
my selfe
with
the
second
,
and
make
Apoll●'s
bird
of
the
third
,
then
tye
my
〈◊〉
to
such
a
barr●●
tr●●
.
And
howsoever
th●
wise
Si●onides
truly
concluded
,
being
one
day
asked
,
whether
vertue
or
riches
were
o●
more
reputation
;
that
the
vertuous
did
more
frequent
the
doores
of
the
rich
,
〈◊〉
the
rich
of
the
vertuous
:
meaning
,
that
vertues
constant
attendant
was
poverty
,
many
times
enforced
to
beg
reliefe
at
the
g●te
of
a
vicious
but
rich
family
.
For
thy
〈◊〉
Philocles
,
did
I
chuse
thee
▪
other
poore
respects
were
so
far
from
working
on
my
fancy
:
as
they
never
received
entertainment
in
my
thoughts
.
I
have
ever
accompted
poverty
a
sweet
companion
,
where
con●ent
was
the
Guardian
;
piety
her
Darling
.
Vice
〈◊〉
she
never
so
richly
●ndowed
,
dyes
poore
:
whereas
vertue
be
she
never
so
much
impoverished
,
appeares
rich
.
O
how
much
then
did
my
deare
Philocles
fall
short
in
the
merit
of
his
opinion
,
in
imagining
his
betrothed
Doriclea
could
weane
her
affection
where
she
loved
so
much
,
to
plant
it
on
one
whom
she
valued
so
little
?
But
Doriclea
h
'as
an
excuse
in
store
for
'
her
beloved
Philocles
:
I
know
,
Deare
one
,
it
was
thy
unfein●d
love
which
begot
this
feare
.
Had
not
thy
thoughts
been
fixed
on
me
waking
,
I
had
been
least
in
thy
thoughts
when
thou
wer●
sleeping
.
Thus
did
these
two
loving
Turtles
rejoyce
in
their
meeting
:
wherein
the
Hermit
took
no
lesse
content
:
observing
how
their
loves
were
grounded
on
vertuous
ends
,
which
could
produce
nothing
lesse
then
prosperous
effects
.
With
many
pleas●nt
stories
did
h●
delight
the
eares
of
these
two
affectionate
Lovers
:
describing
the
happy
successe
of
such
,
who
preferred
vertue
before
wealth
:
and
how
love
could
not
want
where
there
was
no
want
of
love
.
Yes
,
Eriphile
,
Eriphile
Amphiaraus
;
but
what
moved
Amphiaraus
to
loue
Eriphile
but
luc●●
;
what
induced
Eriphile
to
love
Amphiaraus
but
hope
of
honour
?
Now
,
how
could
these
continue
long
,
being
so
irregularly
planted
;
where
either
the
ambitious
style
of
a
Lady
,
or
desire
of
money
gave
first
conceptions
to
their
fanoie
?
Who
makes
the
object
of
his
fancy
Gold
,
Growes
cold
in
fancy
when
his
mony
's
told
.
And
she
who
faignes
to
love
,
to
live
a
Lady
,
Is
honours
〈◊〉
,
I
know
not
what
she
may
be
.
Nor
is
the
purity
of
love
to
be
stained
with
any
earthly
thought
:
many
pretend
love
,
but
they
cl●athe
it
with
an
undeserving
name
:
〈◊〉
declines
from
that
purity
,
wherewith
it
〈◊〉
endowed
,
by
exposing
it selfe
to
an
immodest
liberty
,
from
which
it
should
be
●tranged

Love
should
have
staid
eyes

And
in

,
so
gracefully
disposed
,
as
●n

〈◊〉
love
to

may

〈◊〉
This
deserves
well
the
title
of
love
▪
whatsoever
transgresseth
these
bounds
,
admits
no
such
app●llation
,
but
rather
to
be
dis●layed
by
that
badge
,
which
may
best
set
her
forth
to
her
greatest
dishono●●
and

This
〈◊〉
rightly

,
who
labouring

Love

what

But

It
was
great
pitty
,
said
Philocles
,
that
you
,
Father
,
who
can
discourse
so
contemplatively
of
so
divine
a
subject
,
would
never
yet
actively
practi●e
it
.
So
Scholastically
to
reason
of
love
,
and
be
never
a
Scholer
in
the
Schoole
of
Love
,
begets
in
me
admiration
.
O
I
confesse
,
and
with
trickling
teares
,
said
the
Hermit
,
that
my
youthfull
follies
exceeded
all
number
,
so
long
as
I
sojourn'd
in
the
world
,
and
became
there
a
wanderer
.
I
could
not
walke
in
any
street
,
but
I
encounter'd
many
mistresses
:
for
pride
,
trickt
and
trim'd
up
in
a
gorgeous
habit
,
infinitely
took
me
.
Licentious
liberty
peep'd
in
at
my
window
when
I
was
at
st●dy
,
and
she
surprized
m●
.
Luscious
fare
prepared
me
delicious
viand●
,
and
these
estrang'd
me
from
sobriety
.
Sloth
whisper'd
to
me
in
my
bed
,
the
sluggard●
Lullabe
,
with
yet
a
little
,
and
yet
a
little
,
and
this
belulled
me
.
Wrath
sparkled
in
my
vein●●
,
and
spurr'd
me
on
to
revenge
,
and
made
me
apt
enough
to
forget
ought
that
did
most
concerne
me
;
but
to
imprint
in
my
memory
,
the
thought
of
an
injury
.
Envie
revenged
her selfe
justly
on
me
,
and
made
me
pine
away
at
the
very
sight
of
an
others
prosperity
.
And
Covetousnesse
,
that
age-benummed
sinne
,
made
me
desire
most
when
I
needed
least
,
and
so
besotted
me
.
Nor
could
I
shake
off
these
,
till
I
shak'd
off
my self
by
leaving
the
world
,
which
harbour'd
these
.
But
within
one
halfe
Apprentiship
,
I
blushed
at
those
vanities
I
formerly
affected
:
and
by
a
private
retire
from
the
world
,
found
what
the
world
was
while
I
was
in
it
.
Many
were
the
conflicts
I
must
freely
confesse
,
which
I
suffered
,
before
I
could
wholly
leave
it
.
Yea
,
delights
above
conceipt
,
presented
themselves
to
my
fancy
,
solliciting
me
to
love
it
.
And
with
these
I
long
contested
,
and
at
last
conquered
,
but
with
such
difficulty
,
as
I
many
times
failed
,
and
had
been
quite
〈◊〉
,
had
not
a
more
assisting
hand
guided
me
in
the
●ignt
;
and
crowned
me
in
the
Conque●●
.
Since
which
time
,
I
have
ever
in
a
contented
privacy
remained
:
knowne
too
much
to
the
world
to
affect
it
:
nor
so
little
to
my selfe
,
but
that
my
in
firmities
humble
me
in
it
.
Many
,
too
many
,
heaven
knowes
there
be
,
who
professe
this
regular
course
which
I
have
entertained
:
but
their
profession
is
but
how
to
delude
the
world
:
by
bleering
the
eyes
of
men
with
a
pretended
sanctity
:
and
under
this
vaile
cunningly
shroud
their
base
hypocrisie
.
And
One
of
these
have
mine
aged
eyes
seene
in
these
later
times
.
Thus
discoursed
the
Hermit
,
no●
were
his
two
hearers
lesse
delighted
with
this
relation
of
his
E●emiticall
condition
:
but
the
night
●unning
now
far
on
,
after
a
little
repast
they
betook
themselves
to
their
repose
;
resolving
next
morning
to
conclude
of
some
course
,
to
consummate
their
love
,
the
very
conceipt
where
of
made
the
lingring
night
seeme
long
.
Thus
had
Loves
Cement
clos'd
their
fancies
so
,
As
two
hearts
lodg'd
in
one
,
and
one
in
two
:
And
like
two
lines
that
in
one
Centre
meet
,
Though
different
in
motion
,
took
one
s●at
CHAP.

.
They
take
the
advice
of
Solinus
that
faithfull
Hermit
,
what
course
were
best
to
take
in
a
case
of
such
extremity
:
he
adviseth
them
privately
to
solemnize
that
Rite
,
which
their
long
affection
had
confirmed
in
heart
.
SCarcely
had
Phoebus
mounted
his
Easterne
Charriot
,
or
displayed
his
golden
locks
to
the
blushing
Morne
:
till
these
restlesse
Lovers
desiring
nothing
more
then
lawfully
to
en●oy
the
fruits
of
their
long-continued
loves
:
repaired
to
Solinus
that
faithfull
Hermit
and
their
constant
Assistant
,
to
receive
his
advice
what
course
were
best
to
take
and
securest
to
pursue
in
a
case
of
such
extremity
;
the
prevention
whereof
might
frustrate
their
hopes
,
●nd
with
a
sullen
Cloud
darken
their
fancy
.
The
Hermit
they
found
walking
in
a
private
Garden
:
fixing
his
thoughts
on
higher
contemplations
then
worldly
love
.
Who
,
upon
their
comming
to
him
,
and
hearing
them
so
desirous
of
his
advice
,
imparted
his
minde
to
them
,
in
cropping
a
sprig
of
Tyme
.
This
,
I
do
▪
now
,
said
he
,
may
serve
you
for
an
usefull
Embleme
.
Time
must
be
taken
while
Time
is
.
This
herbe
smels
now
sweet
and
redolent
:
But
should
it
wither
,
and
lose
her
strength
and
vigour
,
it
would
soone
lose
her
beauty
too
,
which
consists
in
savour
.
There
hath
been
ever
more
advantage
in
dispatch
then
delay
.
Since
then
your
hearts
are
so
nearly
linked
,
as
nothing
can
divide
them
:
To
prevent
loose
love
,
which
goodnesse
hates
:
and
embrace
chaste
love
,
on
which
vertue
smiles
.
As
likewise
,
to
secure
your
affections
from
surprize
:
which
,
no
doubt
,
Doriclea
,
your
Parents
will
by
all
means
labour
to
assay
:
my
advice
is
,
that
with
all
privacy
,
whereto
this
very
place
gives
opportunity
,
you
solemnize
that
sacred
Rite
,
to
do
fancy
right
,
which
your
long
affection
,
to
which
my
daily
Orisons
shall
wish
all
successe
,
hath
already
confirmed
in
heart
.
For
let
me
speak
freely
to
you
both
:
fancy
becomes
a
frenzie
,
when
it
is
not
restrained
by
grace
.
And
love
too
long
delayed
,
may
become
polluted
,
and
so
lose
that
unstained
purity
,
which
it
formerly
reteined
.
Private
familiarity
accompanied
by
opportunity
become
dangerous
Inlets
to
youthfull
fancie
,
〈◊〉
,
I
have
knowne
in
my
time
,
many
a
loyall
Lover
deprived
of
their
hopes
,
by
〈…〉
Web
,
and
protracting
〈◊〉
too
long
.
Had
too
provident
Virginius
accepted
of
Ioili●●
,
hi●
Virginia
had
never
incurred
that
unjust
sentence
of
Appius
Clau●●
.
It
may
be
after
a
little
time
,
when
your
Parents
,
Doriol●a
,
shall
see
no
means
to
remedy
it
,
they
will
admit
of
it
.
Meane
time
,
you
〈◊〉
prepare
your selves
to
suffer
whatsoever
the
weight
of
a
Fathers
displeasure
can
lay
on
you
.
Small
hope
is
there
to
reconcile
you
;
till
time
,
the
best
canceller
of
injuries
,
attone
you
.
Nor
should
I
have
inclined
to
ingage
my selfe
in
any
such
advice
,
as
in
this
private
manner
to
solemnize
your
Nuptiall
Rites
without
their
consent
,
but
that
an
inconvenience
is
to
be
preferred
before
a
mischiefe
.
Having
in
this
sort
delivered
his
opinion
,
and
by
his
advice
made
way
for
the
happy
enjoyment
of
their
affection
:
hee
made
show
as
if
he
would
returne
back
to
his
Cell
;
saying
:
Now
,
deare
Daughter
,
you
need
no
more
the
conduct
or
counsell
of
your
poor
Hermit
:
Nor
you
,
my
Sonne
,
the
unnecessary
presence
of
an
Old
Man
,
who
can
afford
you
no
helpe
,
should
you
be
pursu'd
by
hate
,
nor
supply
your
want
,
should
you
need
reliefe
.
Privately
then
,
with
your
leaves
,
will
I
retire
to
my
Cell
:
where
,
though
I
be
divided
from
you
,
my
poore
devotions
shall
remember
you
.
But
neither
of
these
true
Lovers
cou●●
endure
to
heare
of
his
departure
from
the●
desiring
him
,
that
they
might
partake
his
fatherly
blessing
,
and
enjoy
his
presence
in
〈◊〉
solemnization
of
those
Rites
which
they
intended
the
next
day
to
consummate
,
according
to
his
advice
.
For
alas
,
said
Philocle
,
your
grave
and
discreet
counsell
may
be
stod
us
highly
both
before
and
after
.
For
us
tws
,
we
know
only
how
to
love
:
but
how
to
provide
for
our
safety
in
a
case
of
necessity
,
o●
wits
would
be
to
seek
:
and
our
braines
too
shallow
,
to
contrive
.
I
cannot
be
ignorant
,
how
many
pursuing
eyes
,
and
revenging
desires
I
have
hunting
after
me
.
For
D●ricle●s
Parents
cannot
be
more
incensed
against
〈◊〉
then
those
Wardens
from
whom
I
escaped
,
ar●
enraged
towards
me
.
No
Watch
nor
Wa●●
must
be
unlaid
to
seaze
on
me
:
no
device
▪
un●●sai'd
to
surprize
me
.
And
whom
have
I
to
〈◊〉
to
,
but
to
the
armes
of
Love
;
a
weak
,
though
willing
defence
to
preserve
my
life
?
And
wh●●
more
,
said
Solinus
,
can
an
aged
Hermit
do
for
you
;
whose
staffe
is
his
only
strength
,
and
whose
prayers
the
richest
presents
he
can
offer
for
your
redresse
?
And
what
better
Armour
,
answered
Doriclea
,
in
the
time
of
danger
?
Besides
,
your
advice
may
usefully
import
us
in
directing
how
and
in
what
manner
we
may
bestow
us
,
to
prevent
perill
,
which
as
my
dearest
Philocles
truly
affirmes
,
is
every
where
inclosing
us
.
I
know
my
Fathers
passion
to
be
hot
,
but
his
nature
to
be
good
.
Our
retire
for
a
time
▪
may
not
only
for
the
present
secure
us
:
but
by
the
power
of
interceding
friends
reconcile
us
.
Which
,
for
the
instant
were
impossible
to
effect
:
or
by
the
most
perswasive
wayes
,
to
allay
their
discontent
:
seeing
my
Parents
hasty
nature
,
will
for
the
present
,
admit
no
Moderator
.
The
good
old
Man
was
perswaded
by
these
reasons
,
to
stay
one
night
longer
with
them
:
which
he
,
indeed
,
the
rather
desired
to
do
:
wishing
some
faire
conclusion
to
their
resistlesse
affection
:
and
to
become
a
witnesse
himselfe
of
the
consummation
of
that
Rite
,
which
these
two
Lovers
had
in
such
strong
pursuit
,
accompanied
●ith
an
eager
,
but
a
chaste
delight
.
Nay
;
this
discreet
Hermit
imployed
his
conceipt
a
little
further
:
contriving
a
course
how
and
where
to
place
them
for
the
present
:
till
the
storme
were
over-blowne
,
and
a
calmer
season
might
promise
some
respite
to
their
feares
.
For
that
private
Graunge
,
wherein
they
then
sojourned
,
could
neither
be
so
secure
,
as
to
priviledge
them
from
search
:
nor
so
remote
from
jealous
eyes
,
as
to
ke●p
them
any
long
time
unknowne
.
And
a
neare
Ally
unto
Androgeus
dwelled
not
far
off
,
who
,
upon
the
least
notice
of
Doricleas
retire
to
that
place
,
would
soone
acquaint
her
Father
,
and
prevent
their
enjoyment
by
a
speedy
surprize
.
So
serious
was
the
poore
He●mits
care
,
as
these
two
Lovers
could
not
be
more
faithfull
in
their
fancy
,
th●n
he
was
carefull
for
their
safety
.
Nor
was
it
〈◊〉
,
that
his

lesser

his

weaker

amidst
such
perillo●●

How
these
constant
Lovers
were
hindred
upon
the
very
point
of
solemnization
of
their
marriage
,
by
the
intelligence
and
pursuit
of
her
incensed
Father
Androgeus
:
who
with
a
strong
prepared
Troupe
ent'red
the
House
where
these
two
unfortunate
Lovers
sojourned
:
And
how
,
by
the
Hermits
device
,
Philocles
to
prevent
his
fury
,
was
privately
conveyed
.
NO
nights
longer
then
those
of
Lovers
:
and
of
those
,
none
grievouser
then
that
preceding
night
to
their
Nuptials
.
Right
plea●ing
was
the
Hermits
advice
unto
them
:
which

next
morning
,
long
before
any
Canonicall
houre
,
they
addressed
themselves
to
put
in
practise
.
Those
hearts
,
which
had
been
so
long
〈◊〉
,
expected
now
,
nothing
more
▪
then
to
see
those
Rites
accomplished
;
and
which
they
〈◊〉
,
Heavens
would
propitiously
look
upon
,
though
her
Parents
dissented
.
Hourely
they
expected
the
man
that
should
performe
it
:
who
,
at
last
there
arrived
,
to
solemnize
what
they
expected
.
Nothing
was
wanting
that
so
private
a
place
could
afford
them
.
The
Hermit
must
personate
her
Father
,
to
bestow
her
on
Philocles
,
her
dearest
Lover
.
No
Clarks
they
needed
,
their
own
naked
breasts
would
confirme
,
whatsoever
the
Priest
should
pronounce
.
But
heare
,
O
heare
,
yee
dis-passionate
Lovers
,
and
hearing
,
resolve
your
eyes
into
teares
!
Then
,
even
then
when
the●
should
hand
in
hand
go
up
to
that
sacred
place
,
which
admitted
no
●eet
but
thos●
of
peace
;
they
might
heare
resounding
in
their
eares
,
nothing
but
allarms
an
noise
of
war
.
This
pittifully
affrighted
that
small
assembly
:
howbeit
,
so
strongly
steeled
with
resolution
was
Philocles
fancy
,
as
with
much
confidence
he
willed
the
Minister
to
go
on
;
and
if
any
were
to
incurre
censure
,
he
would
be
the
man
,
who
would
interpose
himselfe
betwixt
death
and
danger
.
But
by
this
time
had
a
strong
Guard
enter●d
the
House
,
the
noise
of
whose
●ury
so
increased
the
poore
mans
Pal●●y
,
as
he
could
go
on
no
further
for
a
world
.
Thus
were
these
constant
Lovers
hindred
,
upon
the
very
point
when
their
Marriage-Rites
should
be
solemnized
:
which
came
to
passe
by
the
intelligence
and
pursuit
of
her
incensed
Father
Androgeus
:
who
with
a
strong
prepared
Troupe
,
well-armed
against
any
one
that
should
make
resistance
,
in
a
furious
invasive
manner
ent'red
the
House
(
Hymens
dishonou'd
house
)
where
those
two
unfortunate
Lovers
resided
.
An
unhappy
so
journall
;
where
such
Comicall
hopes
become
wholly
Tragicall
!
And
mount
will
Androgeus
with
all
his
company
,
there
is
no
remedy
Which
Philocles
perceiving
,
as
one
resolved
rather
to
imbrace
death
,
then
ingage
his
fame
to
an
ignoble
life
;
or
to
accompany
that
miserable
life
with
discontent
▪
on
he
intends
to
go
against
all
assailants
,
&
in
the
presence
of
his
Doriclea
against
the
daringst
Combatant
bid
defiance
.
He
esteemes
him
unworthy
the
purchase
of
such
a
prize
,
who
will
suffer
his
thoughts
to
be
seaz'd
on
by
any
Panick
feare
.
Death
,
he
knowes
,
to
be
the
companion
of
mortality
,
and
to
be
affraid
of
that
which
he
must
necessarily
endure
,
he
holds
worthy
of
no
better
name
then
a
cowardly
care
.
He
observes
,
how
fortune
h'as
been
ever
his
profest
foe
;
valour
then
must
be
his
friend
.
And
armed
with
this
spirit
,
downe
he
resolves
to
go
,
but
is
staid
by
Doriclea
;
who
was
now
become
all
Niobe
;
Limbecks
were
her
eyes
of
teares
;
a
Furnace
was
her
brest
of
scalding
sighes
;
a
constant
Fever
surpriz'd
her
joynts
;
yet
with
these
did
her
sweet
condition
enforce
a
smile
and
with
this
,
mixed
with
a
pearled
●eare
did
she
beg
this
Boone
of
her
deare
Philocles
.
Do
not
,
oh
do
not
,
dearest
Love
,
cast
your selfe
away
;
by
exposing
your
life
to
such
apparant
,
nay
,
inevitable
danger
.
One
i●
enough
to
perish
;
and
let
me
be
that
one
to
secure
my
Philoaltes
If
not
,
let
me
become
an
Advocate
for
my
Philocles
.
A
Father●
hand
will
spare
his
Daughter
:
and
,
perchance
,
for
her
sake
pardon
her
Lover
.
Trust
me
,
Phi●ocles
,
you
shall
not
bouge
a
foot
;
your
wrastling
is
in
vaine
with
Doriclea
;
perish
with
me
you
may
,
without
me
you
cannot
.
The
whole
World
would
exclaime
against
me
,
and
tax
me
of
a
key-cold
fancie
,
should
I
suffer
you
even
before
mine
eyes
to
oppose
your selfe
against
my
Fathers
fury
.
Be
advised
then
,
my
dearest
Philocles
,
you
shall
not
go
;
trust
me
,
you
shall
not
go
.
Death
and
danger
with
naked
breast
will
I
sooner
encounter
,
then
ingage
your
safety
to
the
remorselesse
hand
of
my
Father
.
Retire
then
,
and
let
me
be
your
Advocate
,
wherein
should
I
faile
,
my
extreamest
fate
can
be
no
worse
then
I
expect
it
.
With
which
words
leaping
forth
of
his
armes
,
with
a
virile
spirit
,
she
went
downe
staires
:
where
she
met
her
furious
Father
comming
up
.
Who
,
upon
the
very
sight
of
her
,
was
so
incensed
,
as
scarce
any
perswasion
could
〈◊〉
so
〈◊〉
him
,
as
to
hold
his
〈◊〉
hand
form
inflicting
too
seve●e
〈◊〉
punishment
on
his
Daughter
.
Who
,
a●pearing
as
one
nothing
at
〈…〉
and
〈◊〉
above
all
others
to
have
her
〈◊〉
Philocles
secured
which
she
conceived
by
protracting
time
in
this
〈◊〉
expostulation
with
her
Father
,
to
be
best
effected
:
in
a
composed
modest
manner
after
such
time
,
as
with
〈◊〉
humble
knee
she
had
begged
pardon
to
beget
more
compassion
an
equall
hearer
,
she
in
this
sort
,
addressed
her selfe
to
her
inraged
Father
.
Deare
Sir
,
This
Speech
wrought
more
remorce
in
her
auditory
,
then
in
her
Father
;
as
may
appeare
by
his
discontented
answer
.
Doriclea
,
but
my
Doriclea
,
I
shall
never
accompt
thee
;
And
presently
upon
these
words
,
neither
Doricleas
●●●yers
nor
teares
,
nor
the
perswasion
of
his
entirest
friends
could
so
farre
prevaile
with
him
,
as
to
keepe
him
from
ascending
the
staires
.
But
●uch
good
opportunity
had
these
passionate
debates
below
given
to
that
discreet
Hermit
above
,
as
by
his
device
,
Philocles
,
to
prevent
his
funy
,
was
privately
conveyed
:
so
as
,
what
Androgeus
expected
;
co●ld
not
be
pursued
.
None
findes
he
above
but
the
old
Hermit
,
and
that
intended
agent
for
solemnizing
their
Nuptials
,
who
was
as
full
offear
as
Andro●eus
was
of
fury
:
but
wisely
pretending
himself
to
be
one
of
the
Family
,
he
passed
by
him
without
much
inquiry
.
So
unexpectedly
was
this
pleasing
Morne
darkned
with
a
sullen
Cloud
.
Two
friends
,
then
which
none
more
dearer
,
must
be
divided
;
all
occasion
of
recourse
one
to
another
▪
henceforth
debarred
;
this
faithfull
Hermit
,
who
addressed
his
discreet
care
for
their
cure
,
to
his
Cell
confined
.
Thus
must
me
leave
all
things
dis-joynted
and
out
of
orders
a
discontented
Father
contesting
with
his
Daughter
;
a
dis-passionate
Daughter
labouring
to
appease
her
Father
:
all
whcih
have
power
enough●
to
perplexe
a
Family
,
and
beget
rumou●
in
a
Countrey
,
as

CHAP.

Androgeus
brings
back
his
Daughter
;
the
entertainment
given
her
by
her
Mother
.
VNwilling
was
Doricleas
mind
,
but
unwinged
must
not
be
her
speed
to
depart
.
Leave
her
Philocles
she
must
without
taking
leave
.
For
having
laboured
(
as
was
formerly
expressed
)
to
appease
her
incensed
Father
,
but
all
in
vaine
;
she
,
before
she
could
come
into
the
roome
,
(
that
sorrowfull
roome
)
wherein
she
had
left
her
Philocles
,
by
the
device
of
that
discreet
Hermit
,
to
prevent
Androgeus
fury
,
which
admitted
no
treaty
,
was
he
conveyed
,
and
with
that
privacy
,
as
he
became
priviledg'd
from
discovery
.
Along
now
must
Doriclea
go
with
her
Father
:
who
,
desiring
nothing
so
much
as
to
surprize
her
conveyed
Lover
,
but
prevented
of
what
he
most
expected
,
he
holds
himselfe
for
the
present
sufficiently
content
with
the
reskue
of
his
Daughter
.
Whom
he
hoped
to
reclaime
from
this
madding
affection
(
for
so
he
conceipted
)
by
one
meanes
or
other
.
A
dayes
journey
,
at
the
most
,
they
had
scarcely
travelled
,
till
Androgeus
with
his
Company
arrived
where
he
defired
:
and
bringing
his
perplexed
Daughter
in
his
hand
to
her
Mother
,
to
this
effect
he
recommended
that
charge
unto
her
.
Euryclea
,
I
have
brought
back
at
last
your
dainty
Daughter
;
and
prevented
what
her
wilde
fancy
was
incurring
:
she
desired
much
to
be
our
late
Pedant
Philocles
his
Bride
:
all
things
were
prepared
to
accomplish
what
they
intended
;
and
had
not
timely
intelligence
●●ustrated
this
designe
,
she
had
to
both
our
discomforts
beene
unworthily
married
.
It
was
my
aime
to
have
intercepted
Philocles
;
who
,
since
his
escape
from
prison
,
hath
beene
more
forward
in
the
pursuit
of
his
desires
then
before
:
but
how
,
or
by
what
way
conveyed
I
know
not
,
him
I
could
not
finde
,
so
ready
was
some
f●●end
of
his
to
expedite
his
escape
.
Now
must
I
recommend
this
charge
to
you
,
Euriclea
,
as
you
tender
our
honour
,
and
the
reputation
of
your
Daughter
,
to
reteine
a
more
circumspect
eye
of
her
Walkes
then
you
have
hitherto
done
.
Let
such
attend
her
,
as
will
not
be
deluded
by
her
.
Mellida
h
'as
been
too
much
her
friend
:
whose
indiscreet
counsell
,
had
it
succeeded
,
had
made
her
selfe
her
only
foe
.
Abridge
not
her
liberty
,
so
you
be
consident
of
her
company
.
Too
much
privacy
may
hurt
her
health
:
as
too
much
liberty
revive
her
love
.
Time
may
weare
out
these
prints
of
youthfull
fancy
.
Imployment
or
delightfull
company
,
being
such
as
may
suit
with
virgin
modesty
,
may
finde
power
to
discampe
these
dangerous
Assailants
,
which
so
mainly
work
upon
the
inward
quiet
of
hte
minde
.
I
make
little
doubt
,
Euryclea
,
but
your
kinde
heart
will
be
too
tender
,
to
inflict
on●
her
any
heavie
censure
.
Be
it
as
you
please
,
seeing
to
your
charge
,
care
,
and
cure
,
●●●cely
recommend
her
.
So
tender-hearted
was
Euryclea
,
that
at
the
very
first
sight
of
her
Daughter
she
could
not
refraine
from
teares
:
oft
did
she
feine
anger
,
and
with
a
furrowed
brow
foreshow
a
tempest
:
but
her
teares
were
in
earnest
her
anger
in
jeast
.
Yet
desirous
to
schoole
her
,
and
in
such
manner
as
her
discretion
conceiv'd
,
would
leave
the
deepest
impression
in
her
she
receives
no
other
entertainment
but
this
from
her
Mother
.
Disobedient
Girle
,
what
faire
fruits
have
our
deceiving
hopes
produced
?
How
often
have
I
colour'd
thy
private
escapes
,
and
enjoyned
this
whole
Family
not
to
publish
thy
folly
?
What
pleasing
promises
have
I
received
from
thee
,
that
all
should
be
amended
,
Philocles
undeserving
love
rejected
,
and
those
Suiters
entertained
,
whose
fortunes
might
raise
thy
preferment
?
And
what
re●quit
all
hast
thou
given
thy
Mother
,
for
her
care
,
too
●●nder
care
,
on
thee
conferred
by
her
?
Now
it
is
in
vaine
to
stay
the
tongue
of
Rumour
:
the
whole
Countrey
resounds
with
the
report
of
Doricle●
and
he
wandring
Lover
.
And
how
gladly
would
I
be
to
still
this
report
▪
to
●ecover
thy
repute
!
Well
,
there
appeares
yet
a
little
hope
,
which
relyes
on
this
one
and
o●ly
helpe
.
As
good
fortune
was
,
all
this
time
Mard●nes
h
'as
been
abroad
,
and
so
farre
remote
from
us
,
by
reason
of
his
occasions
elsewhere
calling
him
,
as
this
report
of
your
●traying
course
may
happily
yet
be
concealed
from
him
.
Let
then
that
love
which
you
so
lately
pretended
,
be
continued
.
Once
againe
,
let
a
Mothers
teares
or
threats
prevaile
so
farre
with
you
,
as
to
estrange
your
thoughts
from
him
▪
whom
you
must
not
affect
.
Be
perswaded
,
Girle
;
let
not
poverty
come
in
at
one
doore
,
while
love
goes
out
at
th'
other
.
Let
not
your
fame
receive
a
blemish
from
your
indiscreet
choice
:
with
our
blessing
you
cannot
enjoy
him
.
timely
then
relinquish
him
:
I
will
not
have
too
strict
an
hand
over
you
;
so
tenderly
presuming
am
I
of
you
.
An
hard
,
and
harsh
task
were
it
for
me
to
enjoyne
you
ought
that
might
deservingly
beget
your
discontent
.
Tender
then
a
Mothers
care
,
and
prevent
her
feare
:
her
care
to
procure
your
good
;
her
feare
lest
you
should
prevent
her
〈…〉
only
re●eeme
the
time
you
have
lost
;
but
regaine
our
esteeme
,
with
the
ample
interest
of
our
love
:
which
you
have
so
strangely
forfeited
,
as
it
resteth
in
your
obedience
only
to
repaire
it
.
CHAP.

Doriclea
labours
to
free
her
Mother
from
all
jealousie
touching
her
love
to
Philocles
:
pretending
,
that
he
had
voluntarily
made
himselfe
a
banished
man
to
his
Countrey
,
through
feare
of
the●●
fury
and
enmity
.
NO
sooner
had
Euryclea
thus
expostulated
the
cause
with
her
Daughter
,
then
Doriclea
,
desirous
out
of
a
pious
duty
,
to
satisfie
her
Mother
;
whose
passion
,
tempered
by
a
naturall
affection
,
seemed
something
allayed
;
labours
to
free
her
Mother
from
all
jealousie
,
whereof
she
had
received
too
inducing
motives
,
touching
her
love
to
Philocles
:
and
that
her
defence
might
appeare
ground●d
upon
sufficient
reasons
,
she
proceeds
in
this
manner
.
Deare
mother
,
Philocles
appeared
no
such
〈◊〉
to
my
fancie
,
that
might
any
way
make
me
to
foreslow
the
discharge
of
my
dutie
.
Yet
must
I
needs
confesse
,
deare
Mother
,
such
was
his
vertuous
love
as
I
could
not
lesse
expresse
my selfe
then
tender
him
a
grat●full
requitall
for
such
ample
testimonies
of
his
constant
affection
.
Then
with
your
favour
be
it
,
that
I
reteine
so
thankfull
a
memory
of
his
professed
fancie
,
as
for
the
present
to
affiance
my selfe
to
none
:
love
,
though
〈◊〉
be
countermanded
,
it
cannot
for
the
present
be
extinguished
.
Meane
time
,
as
your
tender
care
h
'as
been
and
continues
ever
for
my
future
advancement
:
and
that
Ma●●●nes
must
be
the
man
,
whom
you
hold
●●tingst
for
my
choice
:
so
far
shall
my
Countnance
appeare
free
from
strangenesse
;
my
entertainment
of
him
from
nicenesse
,
as
he
shall
finde
no
cause
of
dis-respect
from
me
,
nor
ought
that
may
dishearten
his
hopes
in
pursuit
of
me
.
Nay
,
so
entire
shall
be
my
obedience
,
as
were
the
disposition
of
Mardanes
like
that
of
Margites
,
of
whom
it
is
said
,
that
he
never
plowed
,
nor
digged
,
planted
,
nor
reaped
,
nor
in
private
affaires
advised
,
nor
discreetly
conversed
,
nor
did
any
thing
all
his
life
long
that
might
tend
unto
goodnesse
,
but
wholly
unprofitable
to
the
world
.
I
should
with
a
free
embrace
receive
him
.
because
your
commendations
did
present
him
,
and
your
obedience
enjoyne
me
to
love
him
.
This
ingenuous
ac●nowledgement
of
her
offence
,
and
expression
of
her
obedience
,
infinitely
over-joyed
her
Mother
;
but
above
all
others
,
the
rel●tion
of
the
travell
of
her
Lover
:
imagining
,
that
all
occasions
now
were
removed
:
and
no
feare
at
all
that
their
loves
should
be
here
after
re●ued
.
But
whatsoever
Doriclea
pretended
,
old
love
could
not
be
so
banished
.
Love
she
must
,
but
seeme
to
dis-affect
her
Philocles
.
Ha●e
she
must
,
but
seeme
to
affect
M●rd●nes
.
And
so
far
from
coynesse
must
she
seem
as
she
must
have
a
smile
in
readines
whensoever
he
comes
in
presence
.
And
the
freedome
which
her
Mother
gave
her
,
being
now
secure
of
Philocles
,
ministred
occasion
to
Doriclea
,
to
invent
many
quaint
devices
to
ingage
more
strongly
her
distasted
Lover
Mardanes
to
her
pretended
affection
.
Whereof
he
perswaded
himselfe
to
be
so
firmly
possest
,
as
nothing
had
power
to
alien
her
love
from
him
:
so
as
,
he
began
to
be
so
far
presuming
thereof
,
as
the
very
least
distaste
which
she
might
seeme
to
offer
him
,
received
a
very
harsh
construction
from
him
.
This
might
appeare
by
one
occasion
which
hapned
casually
,
and
it
was
thus
.
Doriclea
,
to
allay
those
pressing
discontents
which
surprized
her
amorous
thoughts
;
would
make
it
her
pleasing
task
now
and
then
to
play
with
fancie
:
and
to
discover
sundry
apparent
arguments
of
her
unfeined
good-will
towards
Mardanes
,
the
better
to
expedite
those
desires
of
love●●nwreathed
Mellid●
,
and
to
●●teine
that
constant
zeale
which
she
religiously
professed
to
her
Phil●cles
:
diverse
private
meetings
,
accompanied
with
some
of
her
more
familiar
Consorts
,
would
she
purposely
appoint
to
passe
an
houre
or
two
away
(
and
tedious
had
the
passage
of
those
houres
been
▪
had
not
some
merriment
allaid
it
)
with
her
late-created
Servant
;
Marda●es
.
And
one
time
above
the
rest
,
she
had
prefixed
him
time
and
place
for
giving
him
a
more
private
meeting
;
but
by
what
occasion
I
know
not
,
or
whether
it
was
not
purposely
done
to
delude
him
,
or
to
try
his
temper
;
but
he
either
mistook
the
Signe
where
they
should
meet
,
or
she
appointed
a
place
where
there
was
no
such
Signe
:
but
meet
they
did
not
;
upon
which
disappointment
being
infinitely
netled
,
and
presuming
whatsoever
he
writ
unto
her
,
would
be
accepted
,
in
this
domineering
way
,
he
declared
his
spirit
.
Mardanes
Letter
to
Doriclea
.
Mistresse
;
HOw
injuriously
you
have
showne
your selfe
to
me
in
this
your
last
dayes
faile
,
my
lines
can
hardly
deliver
;
much
lesse
expresse
that
irreparable
Discontent
which
I
suffer
.
Boyes
might
be
easily
without
offence
deluded
,
as
I
was
by
your
[
a
](A16685-e14500-b)
a
To
prepare
a
smoother
passage
to
her
love-pretended
〈◊〉
,
She
deluded
〈…〉
with
a
count●●seit
S●gne
Signe
,
the
like
whereof
was
never
yet
there
founded
.
But
you
reply
;
you
were
there
,
but
I
was
gone
.
Trust
me
,
Mistresse
,
I
stayd
there
till
seven
oth
,
Clo●k
,
which
was
a
whole
●oure
beyond
the
time
limited
:
and
finding
no
such
Signe
as
you
named
;
you
may
imagine
,
if
I
were
sensible
of
so
apparant
wrong
,
it
could
not
chuse
but
work
strongly
on
me
.
By
this
,
I
seriously
vow
,
you
have
lost
that
Love
,
who
would
have
sooner
ceased
to
live
,
then
fall
short
in
ought
that
might
have
conduced
to
your
love
.
This
is
the
resolution
of
your
dis-esteemed
Friend
.
An
other
of
the
same
stamp●
,
bearing
the
like
style
and
state
,
was
this
;
wherein
,
(
though
in
a
milder
temper
)
he
takes
occasion
to
tax
her
of
neglect
,
in
this
manner
▪
Dearest
;
EIther
were
your
occasions
so
many
as
they
did
strangely
perplex
you
,
or
else
I
was
strangely
slighted
by
you
.
Trust
me
,
Deare
One
,
your
own
businesse
could
not
more
trouble
you
,
then
your
neglect
of
his
service
and
true
affection
distasted
him
,
who
so
firmely
dedicates
himselfe
to
you
!
Believe
it
,
this
was
an
unexcusable
●rrour
,
not
to
deigne
〈◊〉
i●
so
much
〈◊〉
,
as
to
〈…〉
him
with
your
place
of
abo●●
;
the
time
of
your
stay
in
Towne
:
nor
where
●e
might
with
conveniency
wait
on
you
,
to
accommodate
your
affaires
with
his
bes●
advice
and
assistance
.
You
cannot
possibly
conceive
lesse
,
then
that
this
was
a
grea●
tryall
of
patience
:
To
appeare
there
disesteemed
,
where
he
stood
most
fixed
.
Admit
hee
bee
aged
;
grave
yeares
beauti●i●e
with
gray
haires
are
more
to
be
honoured
then
neglected
:
nor
may
your
privacies
be
with
lesse
alacrity
seconded
,
then
if
they
were
with
more
youthfull
blood
inflamed
.
Let
your
more
serious
eye
look
upon
these
,
and
I
appeale
to
the
justice
of
your selfe
,
without
any
other
Referre
,
whether
these
have
not
sensibly
and
strongly
wrought
(
to
your
own
bosome
,
I
say
,
I
leave
it
)
upon
your
truly
approved
and
affectionate
Servant
.
This
was
Mardanes
Letter
to
Doriclea
▪
which
she
might
rather
have
taken
for
some
Challenge
,
then
any
Love-present
.
But
this
wrought
no
great
alteration
upon
Doriclea's
tho●ghts
.
The
los●e
of
his
love
with
which
he
threatned
her
,
could
not
much
perplex
her
,
seeing
,
his
hat●
closed
best
with
her
desires
:
for
of
all
men
,
whatsoever
she
pretended
,
Mardanes
she
most
hated
:
but
in
the
pursuit
of
her
aymes
,
she
surceased
not
to
discover
all
expressions
of
fancie
that
might
any
way
promise
him
successe
,
that
,
what
she
intended
for
Mellida
might
be
sooner
brought
to
passe
.
Neither
was
his
spleen
so
much
incensed
;
n●r
his
spirit
so
inraged
:
but
at
their
next
meeting
those
furrowes
which
before
appeared
on
Mardanes
brow
for
his
disappointment
,
was
quickly
smoothed
.
One
smile
,
&
that
Heaven
●●owes
,
enforced
,
had
power
enough
to
clame
that
storme
,
and
beget
in
his
amorous
thoughts
a
longing
desire
to
please
.
Many
brave
presents
would
he
send
her
;
sundry
rich
gifts
would
he
bestow
on
her
.
All
which
she
returned
unto
Mellida
,
for
happy
presages
of
what
was
to
ensue
.
And
in
giving
her
these
Tokens
,
she
would
usually
say
:
How
now
Mellida
!
This
is
no
leane
love
.
Happy
were
my
poor
Mistresse
,
if
she
might
receive
but
the
least
of
these
remembrances
from
her
Servant
.
But
alas
!
Mine
is
too
far
divided
from
me
:
di●tance
of
place
barres
us
all
hope
of
recourse
.
Why
Mistresse
?
In
what
better
case
am
I
then
your selfe
?
I
love
one
,
and
he
loves
me
not
:
●nd
you
love
one
,
who
hates
you
not
.
I
may
every
day
see
mine
,
but
I
am
never
any
whit
the
nearer
enjoying
him
.
You
;
though
you
may
not
see
him
;
in
your
desires
you
enjoy
him
:
and
partake
in
more
freedome
of
love
with
your
Philocles
,
then
ever
I
expect
to
do
with
my
Mardanes
.
Never
expect
,
Wench
,
replyed
Doriclea
?
Why
,
pray
thee
,
what
accomplish'd
parts
doest
thou
see
in
him
,
that
thy
love
should
not
deserve
him
?
Didst
thou
ever
heare
any
one
so
highly
taken
with
him
,
but
thy selfe
?
That
's
no
matter
,
said
Mellida
:
but
I
am
sure
a
nea●er
personage
is
there
not
in
mine
eye
,
in
all
the
World
.
And
how
far
would
poore
Mellida
goe
,
to
receive
one
pleasing
smile
from
him
?
That
were
an
excellent
precious
Pilgrimage
,
answered
Doriclea
.
Surely
,
Wench
,
thou
wouldest
gladly
play
Pilgrim
,
to
undertake
a
journey
for
such
a
Lossell
.
But
thou
doest
weil
to
be
constant
,
nor
shall
I
ever
perswade
thee
to
change
thy
choice
.
Change
my
choice
,
said
Mellida●
No
,
may
I
sooner
change
to
Earth
.
Alas
!
my
desires
are
not
great
:
nor
my
ambition
high
.
Might
I
but
be
entertained
to
be
his
Handmaid
;
to
attend
him
;
though
as
his
unworthy
Consort
I
might
never
enjoy
him
:
this
would
in
some
measure
content
me
.
yea
,
quoth
Doriclea
,
but
this
perchance
,
would
in
time
beget
in
thee
discontent
.
Discontent
,
said
Mellida
,
and
be
in
the
presence
of
my
Mardanes
;
how
could
that
be
!
By
seeing
other
Creatures
of
the
same
Sex
,
answered
Doriclea
,
received
,
while
thou
were
't
rejected
.
Indeed
,
said
Mellida
,
I
should
hardly
endure
to
see
that
:
No
earthly
crosse
may
halfe
so
bitter
prove
,
As
to
admit
Corrivals
in
our
love
.
And
yet
,
me
thinks
,
I
should
never
love
him
worse
:
seeing
,
I
could
conceive
no
other
cause
of
their
too
much
love
,
but
his
perfection
▪
And
were
it
reason
that
I
should
hate
him
,
because
others
love
him
:
or
fall
short
in
my
esteeme
,
because
others
did
so
highly
prize
him
?
And
yet
,
I
must
confesse
,
I
could
not
well
suffer
another
to
become
too
familiar
with
him
.
Patience
could
beare
no
more
then
it
could
:
and
a
breast
I
have
ready
to
embr●ace
any
injury
,
rather
then
digest
such
apparant
grounds
of
jealousie
.
Thus
privately
used
these
two
to
bestow
some
houres
of
the
day
in
discourse
:
wherein
Doriclea
ever
reteined
so
admirable
a
temper
:
as
no
extremity
of
passion
was
ever
seen
outwardly
to
work
upon
her
.
Love
she
could
,
and
constantly
:
forego
the
presence
of
her
love
she
could
,
and
modestly
.
Expectance
in
this
only
made
her
happy
:
this
combate
with
contrary
fortune
would
not
hold
out
still
;
she
at
last
hop'd
to
obtaine
a
victory
:
and
therein
more
glorious
,
in
that
her
bickrings
were
more
grievous
.
A
suspicious
sigh
must
not
leape
from
her
;
nor
an
amorous
●eare
betray
her
:
her
own
heart
must
be
the
treasur●
of
her
care
,
till
patience
crown
her
hopes
wi●h
a
more
soveraign
cure
.
Neither
was
she
more
discreet
in
her
love
,
then
he
perswasive
in
his
line
:
for
now
you
must
suppose
him
estranged
from
his
Countrey
,
divided
from
all
thoughts
of
fancy
,
and
if
you
will
believe
his
own
hand
,
such
a
strict
Convert
,
as
Doriclea
may
have
small
hope
to
make
him

Philocles

wherein
he
humbly
craves
pardon
,
for
his
too
bold
attempting
his

affection
.
How
his
present
austere
penitentiall
life
shall
witnesse
to
the
World
his
repudiation
of
all
light
love
.
How
his
devotions
now
were
reserved
for
Heaven
,
and
had
no
communion
with
Earth
.
And
that
the
choice
he
had
now
made
,
should
during
life
admit
no
change
.
PHilocles
must
bee
now
accompted
a
forrainer
,
to
his
Countrey
a
stranger
;
exposed
to
winds
and
waves
,
and
divided
from
his
friends
.
Nay
,
since
his
supposed
arrivall
,
he
pretends
his
induction
into
so
strict
a
profession
,
as
it
proclaimes
him
to
the
World
an
Alien
to
all
youthfull
affection
.
But
what
Harbour
received
him
,
or
what
place
this
was
which
harbour'd
him
,
or
what
Profession
it
was
that
admitted
him
,
appeares
not
fully
by
any
Relator
:
howbeit
,
what
he
was
,
and
what
he
resolved
to
continue

may
appeare
sufficiently
by
his

Letter

Philocles
Letter
to
Androgeus
.
FOr
exiled
Philocles
to
write
a
Letter
to
incensed
Androgeus
:
and
this
to
be
directed
from
beyond
the
Seas
,
may
seem
strange
;
and
yet
know
,
noble
Sir
,
that
this
is
true
.
He
,
even
he
,
who
sometimes
affected
irregular
love
,
h
'as
now
betaken
himselfe
to
a
regular
life
:
and
in
this
his
poore
mendicant
pro●ession
,
humbly
craves
pardon
(
and
be
it
your
generous
pity
to
encline
to
his
suit
)
for
his
too
bold
attempting
your
Daughters
affection
.
It
was
l●●e
,
and
that
seasoned
with
as
much
vertuous
constancy
,
as
youth
could
afford
.
But
know
now
,
deare
Sir
,
that
his
present
austere
pe●itentiall
life
shall
witnesse
to
your selfe
,
whom
he
h'as
so
highly
offended
,
and
to
〈◊〉
whole
world
,
wherein
he
h'as
too
long
youthfully
sojo●rned
,
his
repudiation
of
all
ligl
▪
●
love
.
And
too
long
,
Heavens
know
too
long
,
h
'as
he
there
lived
where
true
discretion
could
finde
nothing
worthy
to
be
entirely
loved
.
For
what
shall
man
finde
there
but
a
Tragick
Theatre
hung
about
with
Arras
presenting
a
numerous
confluence
of
feares
and
cares
?
All
complete
Actors
,
but
their
Play-bill
beares
no
better
style
then
A
Comedy
of
Errors
.
To
see
a
Man
turne
himselfe
into
all
sha●es
like
a
Cam●lion
,
or
as
Proteus
,
transforming
himselfe
into
every
prodigious
forme
:
to
act
twenty
parts
at
once
for
his
advantage
;
to
temporize
and
vary
like
Mercury
the
Planet
,
good
with
good
,
bad
with
the
bad
;
to
forme
himselfe
to
all
religions
,
humours
,
inclinations
;
to
fawne
like
a
Spaniell
,
rage
like
a
Lion
,
bark
like
a
Curre
,
fight
like
a
Dragon
,
sting
like
a
Serpent
;
as
meek
as
a
L●mbe
,
●nd
●et
againe
grim
like
a
Tyger
,
weepe
like
a
Crocodile
,
insult
over
others
,
and
yet
others
insult
over
him
;
here
to
command
,
there
crouch
,
tyrannize
in
one
plac●
be
b●ffled
in
another
;
a
wise
man
at
home
,
a
foole
abroad
to
make
others
merry
.
Then
to
reflect
upon
the
indignity
of
the
Age.
To
see
a
Scholer
crouch
and
creepe
to
an
illiterate
Pesant
for
a
meales
meat
.
For
there
is
nothing
,
from
which
Learning
receives
more
dishonour
,
then
to
have
her
freedome
ingaged
to
anothers
Trencher
.
A
Scrivener
better
paid
for
an
Obligation
,
then
for
a
studied
Sermon
;
a
Faulkner
receive
better
wages
then
a
Student
;
a
Lawyer
get
more
in
a

,
then
a
Philosopher
in
a
yeare
;
better
rewarded
for
an
houre
,
then
a
Scholler
for
a
yeares
study
:
He
that
can
paint
Thais
,
play
on
a
Fidle
,
curle

&c.
sooner
get

And
is
not
this
a
dainty
Theatre
to
win
the
heart
of
a
discreet
Spectator
;
where
Love
and
Hate
are
like
the
two
ends
of

Perspective-glasse
:
one
multiplies
,
the
other
makes
all
things
lesse
?
O
how
rightly
did
that
moderne
Stoick
invey
against
those
inhumane
qualities
in
Man
:
which
,
if
he
did
but
see
into
himselfe
,
he
should
finde
so
unmanly
,
as
they
made
him
altogether
unlike
himself
!

How
shall
I
know
thee
to
be
a
Man
(
said
that
Golden-mouth'd
Divine
)
whe●
thou
kickest
like
an
Asse
,
neighest
like
an
Horse
after
Women
,
ravest
in
lust
like
a
Bull
,
ravenest
like
a
Beare
,
stingest
like
a
Scorpion
,
rakest
like
a
Wolse
,
as
subtile
as
a
Fox
,
as
impudent
as
a
D●g
;
shall
I
say
thou
art
a
M●n
,
that
h
'as
all
the
symptomes
of
a
Beast
?
How
shall
I
know
thee
to
be
a
Man
,
by
thy
shape
;
that
affrights
me
more
,
when
I
see
a
Beast
in
likenesse
of
a
Man
?
And
what
did
poore
Philocles
encounter
withall
,
so
long
as
he
conversed
with
the
World
,
but
Creatures
of
this
condition
?
Well
then
might
mine
eye
,
my
strangely
deluded
eye
,
be
made
the
sense
of
sorrow
,
because
the
sense
of
sinne
.
Nought
could
I
see
but
did
wound
me
:
no
pleasing
Object
but
did
pollute
me
.
Only
my
thoughts
,
deare
Sir
,
were
so
free
from
harbouring
one
light
conceipt
of
your
vertuous
Doriclea
:
as
I
saw
in
her
that
goodnesse
as
disheartned
any
loose
attempt
.
And
may
your
Age
receive
that
comfort
in
her
,
as
those
easie
errors
which
too
deservingly
bred
your
distaste
,
may
be
redeemed
by
a
fuller
furplusage
of
content
.
My
desire
shall
be
only
this
,
that
you
would
not
decline
your
affection
from
her
,
for
her
sometimes
bestowing
so
much
undeserving
respects
on
me
.
Divided
am
I
now
from
her
,
and
all
the
World
:
and
who
knowes
but
that
I
was
thus
prevented
in
my
love
,
to
the
end
I
might
be
weined
in
my
love
from
the
World
?
Admit
then
my
Plea
;
and
let
it
receive
place
:
seeing
my
devotions
are
now
reserved
for
Heaven
,
and
reteine
no
communion
with
Earth
.
Love
was
never
to
converted
Philocles
so
familiar
,
as
it
is
now
a
stranger
.
It
now
re●ts
,
that
my
best
prayers
ever
accompany
you
;
and
that
my
teares
wash
off
those
wrongs
I
have
done
you
.
Be
it
your
piety
to
have
mercy
,
and
to
look
on
Philocles
resolve
,
who
h'as
set
up
his
rest
upon
this
stake
,
that
the
choice
he
h'as
now
made
,
shall
during
life
admit
no
change
.
Philocles
.
This
good
Androgeus
expounded
,
to
be
that
new
course
of
life
or
religion
,
or
whatsoever
else
he
had
so
lately
professed
:
but
constant
Philocles
had
another
meaning
,
which
he
ever
expected
time
would
bring
to
perfection
.
Howsoever
,
Androgeus
was
not
a
little
cheered
in
the
perusall
of
this
Letter
:
the
Contents
whereof
so
well
freed
his
suspitious
thoughts
from
this
mortified
Lover
,
as
hee
could
not
containe
himselfe
from
expressing
the
joy
he
conceived
,
which
to
this
effect
he
discovered
.
Well
done
,
Philocles
!
In
this
course
thou
hast
taken
,
thou
procurest
thy selfe
peace
;
and
us
rest
.
Thou
hast
done
rightly
to
disesteeme
fancie
,
and
to
preferre
thy
private
Study
before
such
a
vanitie
.
There
is
no
comparison
betwixt
pure
devotion
and
light
affection
.
Content
is
of
ampler
extent
then
the
whole
Continent
.
And
if
my
serious
care
prevented
thy
indiscreet
love
,
be
it
thy
love
,
in
thy
private
devotions
,
to
remember
my
care
.
Thou
●aist
,
thou
hast
now
set
up
thy
rest
;
and
in
this
thou
hast
done
right
.
Wordly
love
and
Heavenly
contemplation
suit
ill
together
.
Thou
could'st
not
here
enjoy
whom
thou
lovedst
with
our
consent
;
thou
didst
well
then
to
relinquish
her
love
,
the
purchase
whereof
might
beget
thy
ensuing
discontent
.
How
happy
had
many
bin
,
if
they
had
been
so
prevented
:
for
so
had
they
never
tasted
those
miseries
which
they
so
unfortunately
incurred
.
As
Androgeus
was
thus
privately
discoursing
of
Philocles
late
profession
,
which
he
conceived
to
be
so
sincere
,
as
all
occasion
of
further
renuall
of
his
Daughters
love
and
his
was
wholly
removed
:
Euryclea
came
to
him
,
to
whom
he
read
the
Letter
which
he
had
received
from
Philocles
.
Wherein
they
equally
joyed
;
while
Euryclea
related
to
her
Husband
the
free
entertainment
which
their
Daughter
,
upon
her
direction
,
had
given
to
Mardanes
;
and
how
she
feared
not
,
if
they
gave
approvement
to
it
,
but
that
would
be
very
shortly
a
Match
.
And
though
,
said
she
▪
there
be
a
disparity
in
their
yeares
;
that
will
beget
our
Daughter
more
esteeme
.
And
a
good
life
with
an
Husband
exceeds
all
youthfull
●ove
.
And
yet
I
must
tell
you
Husband
,
said
E●ryclea
,
if
his
harsh
disposition
should
either
●●get
in
him
a
jealousie
,
or
any
other
unbeseeming
quality
,
I
should
chuse
rather
to
go
to
her
Buriall
then
her
Bridall
.
For
,
poore
Girle
,
her
good
condition
would
brook
so
ill
that
surly
humour
,
as
it
would
discourage
her
for
ever
.
And
I
have
heard
his
disposition
was
none
of
the
best
:
and
what
were
it
then
to
enjoy
all
his
estate
,
and
want
the
comfort
of
a
contented
life
?
Our
care
h
'as
neither
been
so
weak
,
nor
Gods
providence
so
small
;
as
that
the
Portion
we
intend
to
conferre
on
her
,
may
not
procure
her
such
a
Match
,
as
may
suit
with
her
desires
both
for
competency
of
estate
and
equality
of
yeares
.
And
for
my
part
Husband
,
said
she
,
I
never
knew
any
Match
made
up
for
wealth
only
,
that
ever
begot
comfort
to
the
party
.
And
you
your selfe
know
Husband
,
that
when
at
first
I
preferred
you
in
my
choice
,
the
very
least
thing
that
wrought
upon
my
affection
was
your
wealth
:
and
yet
have
we
had
ever
enough
,
&
so
much
the
more
,
in
regard
we
thought
love
in
those
dayes
to
be
enough
.
How
is
it
,
Euryclea
,
said
Androgeus
,
that
you
●lead
so
much
in
defence
of
poverty
,
and
would
not
admit
of
Phil●cles
.
who
was
none
of
those
who
had
superfluity
?
One
must
make
a
vertu●
of
necessi●y
,
replyed
Euryclea
.
I
know
Philocles
,
to
be
poore
enough
,
and
to
love
Doriclea
enough
.
But
our
Daughter
was
not
to
ground
her
love
on
every
poore
Lover
,
for
that
might
have
mad●
her
a
poore
Liver
:
but
so
to
plant
her
fancie
,
as
neither
the
undeservingnesse
of
the
ma●
might
beget
in
her
a
neglect
of
duty
,
nor
a
coldnesse
of
affection
by
meanes
of
poverty
.
To
divert
then
the
current
of
her
love
,
I
made
choice
of
one
for
her
,
who
had
sufficient
whereon
to
live
.
That
by
comparing
the
want
of
a
Scholler
,
with
the
wealth
of
a
wordly
improver
,
she
might
the
sooner
di●cerne
her
errour
,
and
betwixt
these
two
〈◊〉
out
one
,
whom
she
might
both
approve
and
love
:
and
expresse
himselfe
worthy
her
choice
,
by
his
faire
and
affable
temper
.
Yea
,
said
Androgeus
,
but
it
was
dangerous
to
give
opportunity
to
fancie
;
which
it
seemes
you
have
done
to
Mardanes
already
.
Alas
,
good
Old
Man
,
answered
Euryclea
,
there
is
small
doubt
but
his
yeares
have
so
tempered
him
,
as
in
affaires
of
love
,
his
moderate
desires
rather
aim●
at
a
Consort
then
a
Play-fellow
:
one
to
cheere
and
comfort
him
,
then
with
light
dalliance
to
solace
him
.
And
could
you
then
endure
one
in
the
prime
of
her
youth
,
whose
posterity
should
be
the
comfort
of
your
age
,
to
close
in
such
unequall
imbraces
:
and
by
living
where
the
does
not
love
,
make
her
grieve
that
ever
she
did
live
?
No
,
Androge●s
;
no
,
replyed
Euryclea
;
my
desires
are
that
she
may
live
,
where
just
grounds
of
discontent
may
never
give
her
occasion
to
grieve
.
And
this
,
I
think
,
she
very
hardly
will
finde
in
Mardanes
;
for
as
〈◊〉
richest
treasure
closed
in
a
Chest
,
affords
〈◊〉
small
comfort
to
the
Owner
;
when
to
his
●wn
he
becomes
a
Prisoner
:
so
all
outward
substance
,
be
it
heaped
up
in
never
so
much
●bundance
,
can
scarcely
minister
the
least
portion
of
content
to
a
minde
ingaged
to
all
hea●inesse
.
But
our
Girle
shewes
no
such
thing
;
for
if
she
dissemble
not
,
(
and
I
verily
think
her
condition
will
not
admit
it
)
since
my
direction
,
she
h'as
profest
more
love
to
Marda●●s
,
then
any
other
that
ever
suited
her
excepting
Philocles
.
Nay
,
she
will
not
stick
sometimes
to
say
,
that
her
unmannaged
youth
●ands
in
need
of
such
a
Tutor
:
and
that
since
Philocles
absence
and
reliction
,
reverend
age
was
the
most
taking
Object
to
her
affection
.
If
it
be
so
,
said
Androgeus
,
the
Girle
shall
have
her
minde
:
but
I
am
perswaded
,
when
fresh
youth
comes
in
the
presence
of
age
,
though
she
pretend
r●verence
to
age
,
she
will
●incline
rather
to
imbrace
youth
.
Thus
discoursed
her
Parents
of
their
Daughters
love
,
but
were
farre
from
diving
into
her
heart
,
to
search
out
for
whom
she
reserved
her
constant
love
.
But
love
she
must
;
for
tender
is
their
care
to
bestow
her
where
both
person
and
fortune
may
give
her
content
.
But
all
is
not
Gold
that
glisters
;
nor
all
winners
that
are
Wooers
.
For
though
she
have
an
enforced
smile
for
Mardanes
,
she
reteines
an
heart
full
of
care
for
the
safety
of
her
Philocles
.

Doriclea
fals
(

into
a
Fever
;
each
day
seemes
to
increase
her
distemper
:
Eschites
,
an
experienc'd
Physician
is
sent
for
to
apply
his
best
art
in
a
case
of
such
extremity
:
but
he
,
an
intimate
friend
to
Philocles
,
makes
show
as
if
he
despair'd
of
her
recovery
.
And
that
no
Malady
arising
from
fancy
,
could
without
enjoyment
of
the
Object
loved
,
receive
remedy
.
WHo
knowes
not

to

he
knowes

But
if
that
Art
〈◊〉

Love
and
no
other
Obj●ct
should
be
the
instrument
.
This
〈…〉
,
who
now
〈◊〉
(
or
seemingly
fals
)
into
a
Fever
.
Long
is
it
now
since
Philocles
absence
;
but
longer
to
her
conceipt
then
any
other
:
having
not
as
yet
heard
from
him
since
his
departure
from
her
.
From
the
benefit
then
of
fresh
aire
,
which
could
not
chuse
but
infinitely
cheere
her
,
she
retires
:
making
her selfe
a
stranger
to
those
Groves
and
Gardens
wherein
she
walked
;
and
betakes
her selfe
to
her
Bed
,
where
she
privately
expostulates
with
fancie
,
recalling
to
minde
wherein
soever
she
had
suffered
.
A
violent
Fever
within
some
few
dayes
after
strongly
seazed
on
her
:
which
whether
it
was
seeming
,
or
so
indeed
,
I
will
not
here
dispute
,
but
each
day
to
the
great
griefe
of
her
Parents
,
seemed
to
increase
her
dist●mper
.
Sleepe
was
a
stranger
to
her
eyes
;
meat
distastefull
to
her
palat
,
and
loathing
to
her
stomack
.
A
great
desire
she
had
to
be
private
:
pretending
,
that
much
talk
distemper'd
her
braine
:
and
willed
her
Maid
to
keepe
the
Curtaines
ever
closely
drawne
,
saying
,
that
nothing
weakned
her
eyes
more
then
light
.
Mellida
,
who
knew
best
next
to
her
own
breast
,
what
most
disquieted
her
,
when
she
was
at
any
time
sure
that
none
could
over-heare
them
,
whether
it
were
to
cheere
her
,
or
to
impart
her
own
griefs
unto
her
,
would
use
in
this
manner
to
converse
with
her
.
Good
Mistresse
rouse
up
your
spirits
,
do
you
think
lying
in
Bed
will
serve
the
turne
?
But
if
you
will
not
be
so
much
a
friend
to
your selfe
,
I
pray
you
befriend
your selfe
for
my
sake
.
Alas
,
all
this
time
while
you
lye
sobbing
and
fighing
here
,
my
Suit
to
Mardanes
growes
cold
.
And
I
must
tell
you
a
secret
too
Mistresse
;
but
none
must
know
of
it
,
for
if
they
should
,
it
might
be
a
great
blemish
to
my
credit
.
Truth
is
,
as
truth
ever
goes
farthest
,
that
since
you
fell
into
this
distemper
I
became
mine
own
Solliciter
:
but
I
made
bold
still
with
your
name
.
And
in
very
deed
,
(
this
you
may
think
to
be
an
immodest
part
,
but
I
am
sure
it
came
from
a
loving
heart
)
I
sought
in
my
Letter
directed
in
your
name
,
to
know
the
time
when
he
would
make
me
his
own
.
Fye
,
Girle
,
answered
Doriclea
,
thou
hast
spoiled
all
:
proffer'd
love
had
never
yet
good
savour
.
And
in
the
meane
time
thou
hast
brought
me
upon
the
stage
in
a
dainty
fashion
:
by
making
Mardanes
believe
that
I
am
liberall
enough
of
my
reputation
.
But
,
pray
thee
,
Wench
,
what
answer
receivedst
thou
?
Nay
,
Mistresse
,
said
Mellida
,
you
shall
know
all
;
but
I
pray
you
impute
it
to
my
too
much
love
,
if
my
love
h
'as
wronged
your
name
.
But
the
harshest
answer
did
I
receive
from
him
,
that
ever
poore
Wench
received
from
any
one
,
loving
so
dearly
as
I
did
.
And
with
that
,
opening
her
bosome
,
she
pull'd
forth
a
Paper
,
which
she
reached
to
her
Mistresse
,
containing
this
Answer
.
DOriclea
,
after
this
manner
to
importune
me
suits
not
with
Maiden-modesty
;
I
shall
close
in
an
equall-line
,
sorting
with
our
joynt
desires
,
when
I
shall
see
mine
own
time
:
and
may
meet
best
both
with
your
occasion
and
mine
owne
.
Meane
time
,
trust
me
,
this
importunity
●ather
duls
then
sharpens
fancy
.
So
re●●s
he
,
who
will
ever
rete●ne
a
true
estimate
of
your
honour
.
Dericlea
could
not
chuse
but
smile
,
though
her
heart
were
ill
at
ease
,
to
heare
this
insulting
humour
of
deluded
Mardanes
:
but
at
first
●he
knew
not
well
whether
to
be
angry
at
her
Maids
forwardnesse
,
or
to
pitty
her
weaknesse
:
so
as
,
raising
her selfe
a
little
in
her
●ed
she
used
these
words
unto
her
.
Surely
▪
Mellida
,
thou
caust
not
possibly
be
so
simple
as
thou
makest
thee
.
Thou
hast
now
made
a
〈◊〉
hand
of
it
:
to
make
thy
own
Sweet-heart
beleeve
that
without
his
love
I
cannot
live
.
Thou
hast
brought
mine
honour
unto
the
Stake
:
and
I
must
in
hope
to
get
thee
an
Husband
,
be
thought
,
nay
be
rumour'd
,
that
I
beg
one
.
Nay
,
it
is
very
likely
that
he
will
now
out
of
his
Pesantly
condition
flight
my
affection
,
because
too
freely
offered
:
or
conceipt
strangely
of
my
modesty
,
&
with
much
easinesse
cashiere
me
:
and
what
then
will
become
of
thee
?
All
wayes
then
are
stopped
;
all
meanes
prevented
;
when
I
my selfe
,
who
sought
by
pretending
love
to
him
,
to
match
thee
to
him
,
shall
be
so
contemned
by
him
,
as
he
shall
hold
me
unworthy
of
him
.
Alas
,
Mistresse
,
answered
Mellida
,
pardon
my
kinde
heart
,
that
could
hold
no
longer
then
it
could
.
Had
I
lov'd
lesse
,
my
modesty
had
been
more
.
But
truly
Mistresse
,
I
am
so
troubled
with
phantasies
sleeping
and
waking
,
that
if
I
have
him
not
,
I
shall
not
be
long
mine
own
woman
.
Yet
rather
Mistresse
,
then
you
receive
any
dishonour
by
my
indiscreet
love
,
I
shall
write
in
your
name
how
my
mind
is
altered
,
and
that
I
never
bore
him
so
much
love
,
as
now
I
beare
him
hate
;
I
care
not
▪
I
will
do
it
,
rather
then
displease
you
;
though
it
should
break
my
heart
.
Doriclea
pitied
much
●he
Girles
humour
▪
willing
her
by
no
meanes
to
discover
the
lea●
token
or
semblance
towards
Mardanes
o●
displeasure
.
And
that
so
soone
as
she
should
be
able
to
leave
her
Bed
,
she
would
spare
n●
labour
nor
profession
of
favour
to
purchase
her
desires
.
But
she
held
it
fit
to
use
some
small
intermissions
to
make
him
sharper
:
for
such
Haggards
,
said
she
,
are
soone
cloyed
;
they
must
then
see
their
Game
seldome
,
and
by
rare
and
easie
flights
become
sharpned
.
Hawks
full
gorg'd
will
stoope
to
no
Lure
,
nor
seaze
on
no
Prey
.
No
more
will
thy
ancient
Sweet-heart
,
if
he
finde
thee
too
playable
to
his
Call
.
Nothing
cheered
Mellida
so
much
,
as
to
heare
her
Mistresse
so
well
appeased
:
resolving
to
be
only
directed
by
her
:
what
issue
soever
should
befall
of
her
love
.
But
as
they
were
thus
diseoursing
,
the
Parents
of
Doriclea
came
into
the
Chamber
,
bringing
with
them
one
Es●●●●es
,
an
Artist
of
knowne
experience
,
approved
judgement
,
and
in
his
Profession
of
such
honest
imployment
;
as
his
chiefest
〈◊〉
was
his
Patients
cure
:
scorning
nothing
more
then
to
spin
out
time
,
or
to
practise
Plobotomy
upon
his
Patients
〈◊〉
,
or
to
magnifie
his
Cures
with
Moun●●bank
Bils
▪
Such
an
one
was
this
judicious
Physitian
,
whom
they
brought
to
their
Daughter
,
as
to
his
Profession
he
was
an
honour
,
and
to
his
Countrey
under
God
,
a
soveraigne
succour
.
Him
therefore
they
besought
to
apply
his
best
receipts
,
and
to
exercise
the
height
of
●is
Art
in
a
case
of
such
extremity
:
as
they
●●ould
be
ready
to
grati●ie
his
care
,
her
cure
,
with
an
ample
expression
of
their
love
.
But
promises
of
rewards
were
the
lowest
of
his
●otives
:
his
greatest
gaine
was
in
his
accompt
to
do
good
.
And
because
delay
might
prejudice
his
cure
:
drawing
neare
to
her
Bed-side
,
and
taking
her
gently
by
the
wrest
of
her
〈◊〉
,
felt
her
pulse
;
which
,
though
for
want
of
naturall
rest
,
discovered
some
distemper
,
yet
●ould
not
he
gather
either
by
Pulse
,
Urine
,
or
any
Symptome
,
that
she
could
be
seased
on
by
any
violent
Fever
.
Imagining
then
(
and
his
imagination
hit
right
)
that
there
was
some
other
private
distemper
which
wrought
extreamely
on
her
;
and
purposing
to
search
out
the
quality
of
her
disease
,
if
either
Art
or
industry
could
effect
it
;
he
requests
her
Parents
absence
with
the
rest
that
were
in
the
roome
,
pretending
that
he
was
to
try
an
experiment
,
wherein
the
privacy
of
his
Art
would
not
so
fitly
comply
with
their
presence
.
And
now
the
Room
being
voyded
,
Eschites
taking
herby
the
hand
,
Speech
to
Doriclea
.
said
thus
unto
her
.
Mistresse
,
if
I
have
any
judgement
,
as
my
long
experience
should
teach
me
some
,
you
may
be
a
Physitian
to
your selfe
,
if
you
please
.
Nay
,
it
is
in
your
own
hand
to
kill
or
cure
.
I
do
not
know
your
meaning
(
answered
Doriclea
)
but
surely
,
Sir
,
you
have
no
such
strange
conceipt
of
me
,
as
to
think
my selfe
so
much
my
own
foe
,
as
not
to
cure
my selfe
if
I
could
.
I
have
not
,
Mistresse
,
said
he
,
but
my
skill
failes
me
▪
if
you
may
not
do
much
if
you
would
.
I
pray
you
let
me
ask
you
one
thing
,
Mistresse
;
are
you
not
strongly
troubled
with
imaginations
?
I
have
a
phantasie
,
quoth
she
,
as
others
have
,
and
that
must
needs
according
to
the
nature
of
it
,
be
discursively
wandring
here
and
there
,
but
never
fixed
on
any
one
Object
.
I
will
burne
my
Books
,
said
Eschites
,
if
that
prove
so
.
Come
,
Mistresse
,
I
must
be
round
with
you
;
your
minde
h
'as
begot
in
your
body
this
distemper
:
your
blood
had
never
beene
infected
,
had
not
your
minde
beene
first
to
love
affected
.
Be
then
so
much
a
friend
to
your selfe
,
as
either
labour
to
forget
him
:
or
by
imparting
your
thoughts
more
freely
to
your
Parents
,
to
enjoy
him
.
This
is
the
best
receipt
that
Art
can
apply
to
you
;
which
if
you
reject
,
dye
,
and
who
will
pitty
you
?
Doriclea
wondred
much
how
Eschites
art
could
possibly
so
soone
make
him
of
her
Cabbinet
counsell
;
as
so
quickly
to
discover
her
infirmity
.
B●t
long
it
was
before
her
modesty
would
admit
any
such
discovery
.
At
last
,
with
a
winning
kinde
of
reluctancy
,
after
a
Vermillion
blush
,
which
plaid
the
shamefast
Harbinger
to
prepare
way
for
what
should
come
after
,
she
disclosed
her
griefe
freely
to
Eschites
,
discovers
her
griefe
to
Eschues
.
in
this
manner
.
Sir
,
so
presuming
am
I
of
your
secrecy
,
as
a
poore
Patient
intends
to
make
her
Physitian
,
her
Secretary
:
nor
am
I
lesse
confident
of
your
care
then
your
cure
:
of
your
care
to
keepe
my
counsell
;
then
of
your
desire
to
cure
my
Malady
.
I
shall
here
relate
to
you
,
what
I
meant
to
have
buried
with
me
.
It
is
true
Sir
,
there
is
one
that
I
have
lodged
neare
my
heart
,
and
remove
him
I
cannot
;
and
enjoy
him
I
may
not
.
Nor
will
I
conceale
from
you
any
thing
:
the
Man
who
h
'as
taken
this
place
is
Philocles
,
now
a
banished
man
to
his
Countrey
;
which
censure
he
h'as
voluntarily
incurred
and
cheerefully
imbraced
to
decline
my
Parents
fury
.
And
his
absence
it
is
,
Sir
,
that
h
'as
begot
in
me
this
infirmity
.
No
sooner
did
Eschites
hear
Philocles
named
,
then
he
rejoyced
much
to
have
so
faire
an
occasion
offered
him
,
both
in
respect
of
his
Patient
whom
he
desired
to
recover
:
as
likewise
for
the
advancement
of
his
friend
Philocles
,
whose
former
acquaintance
had
ingag'd
his
respects
more
then
any
other
.
To
palliat
all
things
then
with
more
art
:
he
intends
to
work
a
cure
without
applying
any
medicinall
receipt
:
and
this
must
be
by
Argument
,
for
otherwise
he
knowes
not
how
to
effect
it
.
And
now
a
fit
opportunity
is
given
him
:
for
this
perswasive
receipt
must
not
be
ministred
to
his
Patient
,
but
her
Parent
.
Who
desirous
to
heare
what
the
Physitians
opinion
was
touching
their
Daughter
,
came
in
the
very
instant
;
which
prevented
Doriclea
from
imparting
her
mind
any
more
at
that
time
to
Eschites
.
Androgeus
beckning
oft
to
the
Physitian
,
demanded
of
him
what
he
thought
of
his
Daughter
,
and
whether
he
had
hope
to
recover
her
or
no.
Eschites
withdrawing
himselfe
a
little
from
her
bed
side
,
and
taking
her
Parents
aside
,
begun
freely
to
discover
his
opinion
of
her
in
this
manner
.
Sir
,
opinion
of
〈◊〉
as
it
h'as
never
beene
my
use
in
the
whole
course
of
my
profession
to
delude
my
Patient
with
vaine
hope
,
where
I
found
my
receipts
could
afford
no
helpe
:
so
I
must
ingenuously
tell
you
what
I
think
without
flattering
you
:
in
cases
of
this
extremity
,
I
finde
small
hope
of
recovery
:
unlesse
her
youth
be
a
meanes
to
repell
the
malignity
of
this
humour
.
Nature
is
much
weakned
in
her
.
Her
sleepe
,
which
is
the
very
dew
of
the
braine
,
h
'as
left
her
.
Nourishment
will
she
take
none
,
and
if
she
did
,
yet
by
reason
of
obstructions
in
the
Orifice
of
her
stomack
,
it
would
not
digest
with
her
.
So
as
,
should
I
apply
purgative
or
ligative
medicines
unto
her
,
yet
would
they
work
small
effect
,
by
meanes
of
those
indispoed
humours
which
have
got
dominion
over
her
.
Shall
I
tell
you
my
minde
freely
?
It
is
not
in
the
vertue
of
hearbs
that
may
returne
her
remedy
:
her
malady
proceeds
from
fancy
:
which
must
receive
〈◊〉
from
the
Object
it
loves
,
or
no
hope
of
recovery
.
Having
delivered
his
opinion
in
this
sore
,
he
took
Androgeus
and
Euryclea
by
the
hand
:
desiring
to
know
of
them
whether
their
Daughter
had
not
at
any
time
professed
love
to
some
Gentleman
or
other
in
those
parts
:
or
whether
she
had
not
discovered
so
much
unto
them
?
yes
,
answered
Androgeus
,
●he
doted
too
much
upon
one
Philocles
,
whom
I
here
reteined
for
her
Schoolemaster
:
one
of
knowing
parts
,
but
weak
fortunes
.
Then
it
seemes
,
said
Eschites
,
you
crossed
her
in
her
desires
.
We
did
indeed
,
answered
Androgeus
;
for
we
conceived
that
such
a
marriage
would
〈◊〉
highly
to
her
dishonour
,
to
marry
a
poore
private
Scholler
:
and
therefore
sought
to
decline
her
affection
that
way
.
Which
,
like
an
obedient
childe
,
she
h'as
since
that
time
done
;
and
observed
our
directions
with
that
care
,
as
an
ancient
Gentleman
,
and
one
whom
you
well
know
,
whose
rising
fortunes
may
highly
advance
her
,
h
'as
lately
renued
his
suit
unto
her
:
whom
she
with
all
faire
respect
entertaines
.
So
as
her
former
indiscreet
fancy
seemes
wholly
banished
:
and
consequently
her
Malady
,
if
it
should
proceed
from
any
such
occasionall
fancy
,
perfectly
cured
.
Alas
,
replyed
Eschites
,
what
your
Daughter
may
pretend
is
one
thing
,
but
what
she
intends
is
another
.
Affection
I
must
tell
you
will
be
hardly
forced
:
whatsoever
her
filiall
obedience
may
enjoyne
her
;
love
reteines
too
much
soveraignty
to
be
so
countermanded
:
or
to
extinguish
that
heat
which
it
first
cherished
.
Thus
he
,
though
he
professed
no
such
matter
,
but
as
an
Artist
should
in
delivering
his
opinion
touching
their
Daughter
,
expressed
himselfe
an
intimate
Friend
to
Philocles
,
by
making
show
as
if
he
despaired
of
her
recovery
,
closing
his
judgement
with
this
Maxime
:
That
no
Malady
arising
from
fancy
,
could
without
enjoyment
of
the
Object
loved
,
receive
remedy
.
Which
much
perplexed
her
sorrowfull
Parents
,
conceiving
by
Eschites
relation
,
that
the
image
of
Philocles
had
stamped
so
deep
an
impression
in
their
Daughters
affection
,
as
the
ground
of
her
distemper
arose
from
being
so
imperiously
divided
from
her
Lover
.
CHAP.
XXVII
.
The
Parents
of
Doriclea
conceive
incessant
griefe
for
their
distemper'd
Daughter
;
they
●emoane
their
neglect
of
Philocles
,
and
dis-esteeme
of
his
love
:
But
they
finde
no
hope
of
reliefe
to
their
languishing
Daughter
,
seeing
the
meanes
of
her
cure
was
reported
to
have
enter'd
a
Regular
Order
.
DOriclea
could
not
more
passionately
suffer
in
this
her
amorous
distemper
,
then
her
Parents
did
for
their
daughter
.
Tender
was
their
love
,
and
incessant
was
the
griefe
they
did
conceive
.
No
meanes
was
left
unassaid
;
no
cure
unpractised
,
to
regaine
her
health
whom
they
so
dearely
loved
.
But
all
experiments
were
in
vaine
:
the
more
they
laboured
,
them
ore
she
languished
.
So
as
little
could
be
expected
,
but
that
this
her
encreasing
distemper
would
bring
her
e're
long
to
pay
her
debt
to
nature
.
This
moved
Androgeus
and
Euryclea
the
tender
affectionate
Parents
of
sick
Doriclea
,
to
bemoane
their
neglect
of
Philocles
,
and
dis-esteeme
of
his
love
,
which
her
Father
one
day
discovered
with
a
pensive
heart
,
and
passionate
voice
in
this
sort
.
O
Euryclea
,
how
well
have
we
deserved
to
suffer
this
affliction
,
in
neglecting
Philocles
and
his
honest
affection
?
Admit
his
fortunes
were
poore
,
his
conversation
was
vertuous
,
his
life
blamelesse
,
and
his
love
to
our
Daughter
loyall
and
religious
.
Were
we
to
contemne
him
,
because
Fortune
had
not
so
freely
imparted
her selfe
to
him
?
Was
love
only
to
be
weighed
by
meanes
,
without
respect
to
those
inward
endowments
which
conferre
the
best
beauty
on
man
?
What
comfort
might
wee
have
reaped
in
seeing
them
live
in
constancy
of
love
:
and
composing
their
mindes
to
their
state
;
to
bestow
the
residue
of
their
dayes
in
content
?
A●
must
not
be
neglected
,
whom
Fortune
h
'as
not
favoured
.
It
is
blinde
love
that
is
directed
by
such
a
deity
.
And
too
tyrann●●●
are
those
Parents
to
their
Children
,
who
labour
to
enforce
their
affection
.
It
may
be
,
said
Euryclea
,
that
her
distemper
,
for
all
this
opinion
of
her
Doctors
,
r●ceives
ground
from
some
other
griefe
.
For
I
verily
think
,
Doriclea
could
not
so
dissemble
with
us
,
as
to
pretend
love
to
Mardanes
,
and
reteine
such
a
constant
remembrance
of
Philocles
.
Let
us
call
forth
then
if
you
please
,
her
Maid
Mellida
;
who
knowes
her
minde
best
,
and
we
shall
perceive
by
her
,
whether
her
fancy
continue
towards
Philocles
or
no.
Mellida
,
who
sorrowed
no
lesse
for
her
Mistresse
sicknesse
then
any
:
for
her
distemper
wholly
declined
her
hopes
from
enjoying
her
Mard●nes
:
acquainted
them
,
how
those
little
short
sleepes
she
had
,
were
full
of
distractions
:
and
how
ever
and
anon
she
called
upon
Philocles
.
Which
so
confirmed
them
,
as
they
presently
gathered
that
his
absence
had
begot
this
distemper
in
their
languishing
Daughter
:
which
highly
aggravated
their
sorrow
.
Gladly
would
they
recall
him
,
so
they
might
regaine
him
,
but
they
finde
no
hope
of
reliefe
to
their
weak
Daughter
;
seeing
the
meanes
of
her
cure
(
the
sole
cordiall
of
her
care
)
was
reported
to
have
enter'd
a
Regular
Order
.
No
hope
then
remain'd
for
her
recovery
▪
being
so
deprived
of
the
Object
of
her
fancy
.
While
they
were
thus
discoursing
and
descanting
of
their
griefe
,
one
below
called
for
Mellida
;
which
was
a
Messenger
indeed
from
Mardanes
with
a
Letter
directed
to
Doriclea
:
the
issue
of
whose
motion
her
Parents
desired
much
to
partake
.
So
a●
,
presently
upon
Mellida's
going
in
to
her
Mistresse
to
deliver
this
Letter
,
they
went
in
after
her
,
but
with
that
privacy
,
as
upon
the
delivery
and
perusall
of
the
Letter
,
Doriclea
knew
not
they
were
there
.
The
Contents
of
this
amorous
Scroule
were
these
.
DOriclea
,
you
may
expect
that
these
lines
should
have
been
prevented
by
●y
personall
attendance
:
and
trust
me
so
they
had
,
could
I
have
dispensed
with
one
occasion
which
requires
present
dispatch
.
Let
not
the
least
conceipt
of
disloyalty
pre-possesse
you
.
I
will
sooner
perchance
then
your
own
opinion
can
assure
you
,
se●
you
,
to
consummate
our
joyes
,
which
,
by
how
much
the
longer
delayed
,
in
our
fruition
will
be
more
sweetned
.
Alas
,
good
Man
,
said
Doriclea
!
how
he
troubles
his
braines
to
no
purpose
?
As
if
his
personall
presence
could
do
me
any
good
,
or
procure
me
ease
!
No
,
no
;
unlesse
he
were
transformed
into
Philocles
;
and
then
the
enjoyment
of
his
feature
would
do
me
an
infinite
pleasure
.
Surely
,
said
Mellida
,
I
could
with
with
all
my
heart
that
we
had
them
both
in
their
own
proper
shapes
:
I
know
who
would
be
the
more
pretious
pearle
in
my
eye
.
Well
,
replyed
Doriclea
,
God
send
thee
much
good
of
him
,
when
thou
shalt
have
him
.
And
if
I
recover
my
health
,
whereof
as
yet
I
finde
small
hope
,
I
should
make
little
doubt
but
by
a
device
I
have
,
to
possesse
thee
of
him
.
I
pray
God
you
may
have
your
health
restored
you
soon
,
said
Mellida
;
for
I
am
sure
you
cannot
suffer
more
in
your
Fever
,
then
I
my selfe
do
,
till
I
be
made
happy
by
the
free
enjoyment
of
Mardanes
favour
.
This
discourse
seemed
strange
to
Doriclea's
Parents
,
for
they
little
knew
what
their
Daughter
intended
by
that
device
:
howsoever
,
they
now
perceived
that
the
love
she
pretended
to
Mardanes
was
not
reall
,
but
dissembling
:
and
that
Philocles
was
the
Man
who
was
only
interessed
in
her
heart
:
and
that
without
him
she
despaired
of
health
.
Which
could
not
chuse
but
strangely
perplexe
her
affectionate
Parents
;
who
now
,
so
they
might
become
confident
of
their
Daughters
recovery
,
would
easily
incline
to
Philocles
fancy
.
But
they
were
out
of
all
hope
to
procure
her
health
by
this
meanes
:
seeing
,
retired
Philocles
was
now
to
his
Countrey
a
stranger
,
and
had
enter'd
a
strict
religious
Order
:
which
assured
them
,
that
he
had
now
disclaimed
the
title
of
a
Lover
.
CHAP.

.
Eschites
undertakes
,
upon
promise
of
their
acceptance
,
to
use
his
best
endeavour
for
calling
Philocles
homeward
;
and
that
he
is
resolved
,
how
Philocles
time
of
Probation
will
bee
quickly
relinquish'd
,
when
he
shall
beare
least
hope
of
enjoying
his
Doriclea's
affection
.
WEakned
daily
became
constant
Doriclea
,
by
meanes
of
this
her
languishing
distemper
.
For
now
her
stomack
,
by
feeding
on
those
fancies
which
her
loyall
love
to
Philocles
usually
suggested
,
was
so
sated
:
as
other
nourishment
she
could
admit
none
:
unlesse
such
Julips
or
Cordials
as
required
no
strong
digestion
:
so
well
became
Nature
sustained
with
the
very
conceipt
of
affection
.
Nor
is
this
much
to
be
admired
;
for
if
that
Maide
of
P●i●tiers
could
abstaine
so
many
yeares
from
all
sustenance
,
and
be
surprized
by
no
such
fancy
;
what
may
we
imagine
of
Doriclea
,
whose
digestive
parts
were
so
well
satisfied
with
the
thoughts
only
of
her
dearest
Philocles
,
as
no
repast
could
comparably
delight
or
refresh
decayed
Nature
,
so
much
as
the
very
conceipt
or
apprehension
of
his
affectionate
feature
.
Her
Parents
desirous
to
try
all
meanes
to
allay
her
griefe
,
and
to
banish
the
memory
of
her
transplanted
friend
from
her
distemper'd
minde
:
sent
for
such
neighbouring
Maides
as
formerly
kept
her
company
to
come
to
her
:
and
to
invent
one
sport
or
other
to
passe
away
the
lingring
night
,
or
to
tell
Tales
to
solace
her
troubled
braine
,
which
for
want
of
sleepe
,
was
much
distemper'd
.
And
many
pleasant
pastimes
would
these
Countrey
Girles
finde
out
,
purposely
to
cheere
her
.
While
one
amongst
the
rest
drawing
●eare
the
Bed-side
,
and
taking
Doriclea
by
the
hand
;
Good
Lord
,
Mistresse
,
said
she
,
what
a
stirre
you
make
with
this
love
?
I
am
sure
for
my
part
I
am
troubled
with
a
thing
as
like
love
as
can
be
,
and
whether
it
be
downeright
love
or
no
I
know
not
:
but
every
night
there
appeares
to
my
fancy
,
a
dainty
proper
young
Man
,
but
of
what
Countrey
I
know
not
▪
and
to
my
knowledge
,
waking
I
never
yet
saw
him
.
But
trust
me
Mistresse
,
I
wondrously
love
him
:
and
if
he
be
no
Hob-Thr●sh
nor
no
Robin●
Goodfellow
,
I
could
finde
with
all
my
heart
to
sip
up
a
Silly-bub
with
him
in
my
Fathers
Broome-pasture
.
For
I
shall
on
my
conscience
never
love
any
one
halfe
so
well
.
And
yet
I
know
not
whether
I
shall
love
him
when
I
am
waking
so
well
as
when
I
am
sleeping
:
nor
do
I
know
whether
I
should
know
him
,
if
I
should
see
him
:
and
yet
every
night
I
infinitely
love
him
,
and
could
chuse
to
live
with
him
,
if
he
be
flesh
and
blood
,
as
I
hope
he
is
;
for
else
I
should
not
for
all
the
world
endure
him
.
Doriclea
could
not
chuse
but
smile
within
her selfe
to
heare
this
simple
Countrey
Girle
discover
her
imaginary
love
in
this
manner
.
While
an
other
as
simple
as
the
former
,
but
a
more
reall
and
substantiall
lover
,
stept
forth
;
and
as
one
angry
that
her
fellow
should
spend
so
much
time
in
discovery
of
a
Dreame
,
or
a
dreaming
fancy
,
she
proceeded
in
this
sort
.
Sister
,
what
makes
you
thus
trouble
Mistresse
Doriclea's
eares
with
a
story
of
a
Cock
and
a
Bull
?
Dreames
are
but
fanci●s
of
the
braine
:
and
a
thousand
nights
have
I
had
such
Dreames
:
and
me
thought
took
great
delight
in
such
a
yongsters
company
,
that
I
car●d
not
a
Chip
for
next
morning
.
But
I
pray
you
Mistresse
Doriclea
heare
my
Fortune
:
for
I
love
in
good
earnest
;
and
if
he
be
a
just
Man
of
his
word
,
he
loves
me
too
.
Climenes
is
the
Man
,
I
am
not
ashamed
of
my
choice
:
a
proper
Dapper
Youth
,
and
h
'as
wonne
the
best
prizes
from
Admetus
,
Melintus
,
Palemon
,
and
the
activest
Youths
of
all
our
Parish
,
at
our
Summer-Games
two
yeares
together
.
And
my
Father
,
good
Man
,
h
'as
promised
him
,
that
if
hee
come
away
with
the
prizes
next
yeare
againe
,
he
will
bestow
me
on
him
.
And
I
could
wish
with
all
mine
heart
,
that
I
were
his
now
;
for
a
whole
yeare
will
be
too
long
to
languish
in
love
.
But
one
thing
now
above
all
others
,
there
is
,
Mistresse
,
that
grieves
me
;
and
it
is
this
,
Our
Neighbours
say
,
he
will
never
have
a
Beard
;
and
what
a
rivell'd
Russeting
will
he
look
when
he
comes
to
age
?
But
if
Nature
will
not
be
so
bountifull
to
him
,
if
there
be
a
Beard-maker
in
all
our
Countrey
,
I
will
want
of
my
will
but
he
shall
furnish
him
.
Your
case
is
happy
in
comparison
of
mine
,
said
the
third
Girle
;
one
of
you
loves
,
and
you
know
not
whom
;
another
loves
,
and
may
enjoy
whom
she
loves
:
but
my
Fortune
is
harder
:
for
AEgon
profest
as
much
love
to
me
,
as
ever
Suiter
did
to
Woman
:
and
I
knew
nothing
but
that
he
thought
as
he
spake
,
and
would
performe
what
he
had
promised
.
But
●waines
can
dissemble
as
well
as
greater
Men
:
for
going
th'
other
day
to
our
Parish
Church
,
●
might
heare
the
Banes
of
Marriage
publiquely
asked
betwixt
AEgon
and
Leucippe
:
so
as
,
all
those
professions
of
love
wherein
he
●ood
ingaged
to
his
M●tilda
,
must
now
be
renounced
,
and
a
new
love
entertained
.
And
yet
,
Mistresse
Doricle●
I
were
a
Foole
to
lay
that
to
my
heart
,
which
another
lyes
to
his
heele
.
A
disloyall
Man
should
never
break
the
heart
of
a
wise
Maid
.
He
that
can
so
easily
leave
his
old
Love
,
may
stand
in
need
of
the
least
graine
of
it
if
he
live
.
Meane
time
,
I
hope
if
I
live
,
to
enjoy
one
who
shall
more
constantly
love
.
Thus
discoursed
these
Countrey
Girles
;
and
much
content
took
Doriclea
in
this
relation
of
their
simple
loves
.
But
her
Father
and
Mother
comming
in
,
prevented
all
further
discourse
,
for
that
time
.
Their
Daughter
they
found
still
languishing
:
small
or
no
hope
of
recovery
ministred
least
comfort
unto
them
.
Many
times
they
wished
,
that
they
had
not
opposed
her
affection
,
but
inclined
to
her
will
;
for
so
they
might
have
enjoyed
what
now
by
all
probability
is
very
likely
to
be
taken
from
them
.
And
as
they
were
thus
bemoaning
their
sick
Daughter
,
who
daily
grew
weaker
in
strength
,
but
stronger
in
her
distemper
;
Eschites
came
into
the
Chamber
,
enquiring
how
it
was
with
her
?
Drawing
nearer
and
nearer
to
her
end
,
answered
her
Father
.
Small
hope
of
amends
appeares
yet
.
Nor
will
any
probably
appeare
,
to
my
judgement
,
said
Eschites
.
No
cure
can
be
possibly
effected
,
till
the
cause
be
removed
▪
And
though
the
cause
of
her
distemper
be
too
far
removed
,
as
the
case
now
stands
,
the
cause
must
be
restored
,
or
no
recovery
to
be
expected
.
Androgeus
desiring
to
know
what
he
meant
,
requested
him
to
explaine
himselfe
.
To
whose
satisfaction
he
willingly
inclined
,
and
in
a
grave
demure
manner
,
imparted
his
minde
freely
to
them
:
discovering
both
the
grounds
first
introducing
,
and
receipts
most
soveraigne
for
curing
her
distemper
.
Sir
,
That
no
Malady
arising
from
fancy
,
could
without
enjoyment
of
the
Object
loved
,
receive
remedy
.
And
though
love
rarely
work
such
effects
in
these
dayes
:
yet
,
too
neare
an
instance
you
have
here
of
your
owne
,
who
confirmes
what
powerfull
,
nay
incurable
distempers
the
quality
of
love
produceth
;
not
only
in
the
affections
but
constitutions
of
such
who
have
received
such
deepe
impressions
of
love
,
as
they
must
seaze
on
the
person
they
effect
,
or
cease
to
live
.
Too
long
have
you
deceived
your selves
with
flattering
hopes
,
expecting
that
either
by
strength
of
Nature
,
which
you
may
perceive
much
enfeebled
in
her
,
or
by
Physicall
means
,
which
I
told
you
could
smally
benefit
her
,
she
might
recover
health
.
And
now
you
see
,
how
farre
she
is
from
seconding
your
hopes
:
as
every
day
promiseth
nothing
but
a
decline
from
worse
to
worse
.
To
prevent
this
,
if
you
expect
ever
to
see
her
in
health
againe
,
give
way
to
my
directions
:
let
her
enjoy
what
she
h'as
so
unfeignedly
desired
.
It
is
Philocles
that
must
performe
this
Cure
,
or
effectlesse
is
our
Art
,
fruitlesse
our
Care
.
Let
him
then
be
called
home
,
whose
returne
gives
me
assured
hope
of
her
health
.
Alas
,
answered
Androgeus
,
if
that
were
possible
to
be
done
,
we
should
easily
encline
to
such
a
motion
:
but
as
he
is
not
only
divided
from
us
,
but
enter'd
a
strict-austere
Order
,
there
is
small
hope
that
ever
his
purpose
is
to
returne
hither
.
For
since
his
departure
hence
,
I
received
a
passionate
Letter
from
him
:
wherein
he
not
only
humbly
craved
my
pardon
for
his
indiscreet
pursuit
of
my
Daughters
affection
,
but
advertised
me
of
his
late
Conversion
.
And
how
that
course
which
he
had
now
embraced
,
had
aliened
his
thoughts
from
all
light
love
;
and
that
the
choice
he
had
now
made
,
should
during
life
admit
no
change
.
Very
like
,
said
Eschites
;
But
I
pray
you
how
expound
you
that
Clause
?
His
Choice
,
no
doubt
,
which
he
meant
by
was
your
Daughter
,
which
he
never
intended
to
change
.
Come
Sir
,
Discourses
in
affaires
of
this
nature
should
be
used
as
preparatives
of
what
may
succeed
after
:
you
desire
your
Daughters
health
,
and
you
perceive
the
meanes
to
effect
it
:
but
out
of
a
scrupulous
feare
you
doubt
the
way
is
diverted
.
What
say
you
unto
him
that
shall
expedite
the
way
:
and
make
you
happy
(
if
nature
be
not
too
much
debilitated
)
in
her
recovery
?
We
shall
be
defective
in
nothing
that
may
further
it
,
nor
ungratefull
to
whomsoever
shall
labour
in
it
,
said
her
Parents
.
With
which
words
Eschites
,
who
tender'd
nothing
more
then
the
advancement
of
his
affectionate
Philocles
,
became
so
encouraged
,
as
he
undertakes
,
upon
promise
of
their
acceptance
,
to
use
his
best
endeavour
for
calling
Philocles
home-ward
.
O
said
Androgeus
,
fruitlesse
will
be
your
endeavour
in
an
assay
of
that
nature
!
Religious
courses
must
not
be
so
soone
diverted
:
Fancie
can
now
have
no
place
with
him
,
I
am
perswaded
.
So
as
you
may
to
more
purpose
desist
from
any
such
enterprize
,
then
go
on
with
it
.
Be
not
so
definite
in
your

Eschites
.
Admit
his
thoughts
have
entertained
any
such
conceipt

it
is
very
likely
he
is
not

and
then
I
am
resolved
,
how
Philocles

be
quickly
expired
,
and
his
purpose
soone
relinquished
,
when
he
shall
heare
the
least
hope
of

Doriclea's
affection

Howsoever

recommend
the

Androgeus
heares
how
Philocles
,
besides
his
other
native
endowments
,
was
descended
of
a
generous
Family
;
which
enfl●ames
his
desires
more
to
see
him
returne
into
his
Countrey
.
He
vowes
never
to
oppose
this
Solemnity
,
so
his
presence
may
cure
her
infirmity
.
OPportunity
now
had
offer'd
it selfe
to
Eschit●s
to
befriend
his
dearely-respected
Philocles
:
and
Fortune
opened
her
bounty
to
Philocles
to
ingratiate
himselfe
by
the
interceding
of
Eschites
.
Neither
was
Androge●s
lesse
serious
to
accomplish
what
his
promise
had
ingaged
him
to
performe
upon
the
undertaking
of
Eschites
.
And
greater
reason
he
findes
to
comply
with
such
a
motion
then
before
:
in
regard
he
heares
how
Philocles
,
whom
he
so
much
dis-esteemed
,
as
he
held
it
to
be
a
disparagement
to
his
house
to
incline
to
any
such
obscure
Match
;
besides
his
other
native
endowments
,
which
well
deserved
the
best
of
fancie
,
to
be
descended
of
a
generous
Family
,
which
came
to
his
eare
upon
this
occasion
.
A
Gentleman
of
quality
chanced
to
come
into
those
parts
to
enquire
of
Philocles
:
with
newes
that
faire
fortunes
were
lately
befallen
him
by
death
of
his
Uncle
;
who
had
conferred
on
him
his
estate
,
by
adopting
him
for
his
Heire
.
And
thither
was
Euphilus
,
for
so
was
this
Gentleman
called
,
directed
,
to
impart
these
tydings
to
his
affectionate
Philocles
.
These
newes
came
to
the
hearing
of
Androgeus
,
who
desiring
to
become
better
satisfied
touching
his
descent
and
fortunes
,
repaired
to
Euphilus
,
to
whom
he
addressed
himselfe
in
this
discourse
.
Sir
,
I
understand
you
are
a
stranger
in
these
parts
,
and
have
taken
your
journey
hither
to
enquire
after
one
Philocles
:
you
may
be
pleased
to
know
that
one
of
that
name
sojourned
sometimes
here
with
me
:
but
whether
the
same
whom
you
desir●
to
finde
,
I
know
not
:
but
by
his
description
you
may
become
better
satisfied
.
The
Gentleman
whom
I
so
much
desire
to
see
answered
Euphilus
,
was
of
a
middle
stature
,
black
hair'd
,
and
sanguine
complexion
;
and
to
this
Coast
,
as
his
friends
are
informed
,
came
he
;
where
he
was
placed
in
a
Gentlemans
house
,
to
teach
,
and
educate
his
Children
.
For
though
his
fortunes
promised
faire
upon
some
expectance
hereafter
;
yet
his
present
meanes
were
so
short
,
that
after
some
short
stay
in
the
University
,
he
retired
into
the
Countrey
:
for
so
free-bred
and
truly
generous
was
his
nature
,
that
he
could
not
brook
beholdingnesse
,
nor
relye
on
others
dependance
.
And
I
must
tell
you
Sir
,
during
all
that
time
wherein
we
remained
together
,
&
equally
communicated
our
Studies
one
to
another
,
such
infinite
content
we
mutually
conceived
in
one
&
th●
others
company
,
as
nothing
appeared
either
so
gratefull
to
me
,
nor
so
delightfull
to
him
,
as
the
fruition
of
this
Society
.
So
as
in
time
we
became
Sworne-Brothers
:
no
lesse
friendly
then
freely
imparting
what
either
comforted
us
,
or
by
any
other
occurrent
crossed
us
,
with
such
confident
familiarity
to
one
anothers
bosome
,
as
our
comforts
by
partaking
one
with
th'
other
became
highly
augmented
;
and
our
afflictions
,
if
any
such
befell
,
sweetly
allayed
.
This
was
an
excellent
argument
of
unfeined
friendship
,
said
Androge●s
,
and
such
as
deserves
approvement
with
good
men
.
It
is
true
,
replyed
Euphilus
;
but
this
happy
amicable
condition
of
ours
could
not
promise
to
it selfe
any
firme
nor
fixt
continuance
:
for
as
his
disposition
became
disheartned
by
some
occurrents
,
so
was
he
enforced
to
discontinue
those
Academick
Studies
wherein
he
had
so
commendably
profited
;
and
to
embrace
a
life
much
different
to
his
humour
,
by
accepting
the
government
of
a
private
charge
,
as
his
friends
have
been
since
enformed
:
a
course
,
I
must
ingenuously
tell
you
,
which
his
nobler
thoughts
sometimes
highly
scorned
:
but
there
we
heare
he
was
planted
,
and
purchased
that
good
opinion
of
the
Family
where
he
resided
,
as
nothing
could
be
accompted
too
deare
for
one
whom
they
so
dearely
loved
.
There
is
none
that
can
more
truly
witnesse
the
truth
of
that
relation
then
my selfe
,
answered
Androgeus
.
For
into
my
Family
(
as
by
your
description
I
am
satisfied
)
he
was
hospitably
received
,
affably
entertained
,
where
he
for
a
time
lived
,
none
more
beloved
.
But
all
this
could
not
content
him
;
for
his
more
ambitious
thoughts
could
not
containe
him
,
but
out
of
a
presuming
confidence
from
his
too
familiar
entertainment
in
this
manner
,
he
attempted
the
affection
of
my
Daughter
;
my
only
Daughter
;
one
in
whom
I
had
treasured
my
hopes
:
and
her
he
solicits
with
such
instancie
,
as
her
indisereet
affection
begun
to
encline
to
fancie
.
Fortunes
she
had
profer'd
her
,
which
might
highly
advance
her
;
Suiters
of
eminent
accompt
,
approved
repute
,
ancient
descent
in
their
Countrey
;
yet
could
not
all
these
decline
her
resolution
from
that
whereon
●he
had
so
strongly
fixt
and
firmely
fancied
.
Imagine
then
,
good
Sir
,
how
this
could
do
lesse
then
highly
perplexe
her
too
carefull
Parents
;
and
consequently
incense
them
against
his
boldnesse
:
who
out
of
too
much
presumption
,
desisted
from
those
grounds
or
principles
of
education
,
to
work
in
her
easie
disposition
moving
impressions
of
affection
!
This
resolves
me
nothing
,
replyed
Eu●hilus
,
where
now
Philogenes
may
remaine
;
whose
fight
I
so
much
desire
to
partake
:
and
to
whom
I
am
to
impart
such
tidings
as
mainly
concerne
him
,
and
which
by
the
just
decree
of
Heaven
are
very
like
highly
to
improve
him
.
I
must
tell
you
,
said
Androgeus
,
and
sorry
am
I
that
I
must
be
enforced
to
tell
you
so
much
,
that
the
goodnesse
of
his
nature
and
sweetnesse
of
his
temper
was
such
,
as
conceiving
the
distaste
we
took
at
this
his
presumptuous
attempt
to
be
great
,
and
our
indignation
irreconciliable
:
he
voluntarily
left
these
parts
,
and
as
he
h'as
since
further
informed
us
,
devoted
himselfe
to
such
a
strict-regular
course
,
as
now
hee
dis-esteemes
all
light
fancie
,
and
made
devotion
his
choice
.
Your
usage
,
it
seemes
,
answered
Euphilus
,
drove
him
to
these
extreames
.
And
unthankfull
you
to
requite
his
vertuous
affection
with
such
disdaine
.
For
I
must
tell
you
Sir
,
though
I
make
no
question
but
your
Family
is
ancient
,
your
fortunes
faire
and
eminent
,
yet
had
you
knowne
his
fame
and
Family
,
as
well
as
you
were
acquainted
with
his
fancie
,
you
would
have
held
it
no
dishonour
for
Philogeues
to
match
with
your
Daughter
.
Androgeus
desired
much
to
heare
of
his
descent
;
which
his
faithfull
friend
Euphilus
related
in
such
manner
,
as
it
begot
teares
in
the
Old-mans
eyes
;
repenting
much
that
he
rejected
one
whose
nobler
parts
so
well
deserved
,
and
whose
generous
and
ancient
linage
seconded
those
excellent
endowments
wherewith
he
stood
graced
.
And
thus
continued
these
two
their
discourse
,
till
such
time
as
one
came
to
Euphilus
,
acquainting
him
how
a
Page
below
would
speak
with
him
:
which
broke
off
their
conference
for
that
time
:
resolving
next
day
to
meet
againe
,
and
to
conclude
of
some
course
,
that
if
too
strict
a
tye
had
not
engaged
him
,
he
might
be
recalled
,
to
enjoy
what
he
so
much
affected
,
and
what
his
own
fame
,
family
,
fortunes
,
and
fancy
,
so
well
merited
.
Whereto
sorrowfull
Androgeus
replyed
,
that
a
Gentleman
of
good
accompt
,
and
eminent
in
his
Profession
,
meaning
Es●hites
,
had
undertaken
something
to
that
effect
,
but
whether
likely
to
produce
any
good
end
or
no
he
knew
not
.
Meane
time
,
Euphilus
goes
downe
to
the
Page
which
staid
below
for
him
;
to
whom
he
delivered
a
Letter
written
,
as
this
Page
pretended
,
by
one
Albanus
an
intimate
acquaintance
unto
Euphilus
,
the
Contents
whereof
were
these
.
FIrme
friend
,
your
affectionate
Brother
.
Now
,
what
was
meant
by
this
Letter
,
our
History
must
not
as
yet
discover
.
Let
it
suffice
,
that
this
Page
was
his
own
Secretary
;
and
had
lodged
Euphilus
so
dearely
in
his
thoughts
,
as
he
accompted
it
his
highest
earthly
solace
to
be
admitted
to
his
service
.
Returne
we
now
to
Androgeus
,
whom
we
may
suppose
,
upon
this
relation
of
Philocles
Fortunes
and
Family
,
to
have
his
glowing
desires
more
inflamed
to
see
him
returne
into
his
Countrey
.
But
doubtfull
he
remaines
ever
to
enjoy
so
much
happinesse
:
for
the
Sea
,
as
he
understands
,
h
'as
divided
him
;
and
his
late
regular
profession
so
confined
him
:
asif
his
desires
stood
so
affected
yet
could
he
see
no
possibility
to
have
it
effected
,
seeing
those
vowes
(
as
he
conceived
,
but
herein
deceived
)
could
not
so
easily
be
dispenced
.
And
highly
did
Androgeus
admire
the
modesty
of
Philogenes
:
who
never
all
the
time
that
he
sojourned
in
his
house
,
would
discover
so
much
either
touching
those
possibilities
which
now
his
fortunes
had
conferred
on
him
,
or
that
lineall
descent
from
whence
he
was
derived
.
An
undoubted
argument
,
surely
,
of
a
noble
minde
;
which
desires
rather
to
display
his
descent
by
actions
of
desert
:
then
arrogantly
to
boast
of
the
House
from
whence
he
descended
;
and
by
his
ignoble
expressions
to
debase
that
honour
which
was
lineally
derived
.
For
what
is
it
to
glory
in
guilded
Earth
;
or
to
magnifie
ones
selfe
in
the
generosity
of
his
Race
:
when
Vertues
,
which
should
be
the
best
Signals
to
distinguish
a
noble
Stock
,
have
lost
their
impressure
in
him
?
For
better
is
it
to
be
ignobly
derived
,
and
vertuously
accomplished
;
then
Nobly
descended
,
and
viciously
affected
.
And
as
every
thing
reteines
his
degree
of
dignity
in
goodnesse
:
so
holds
it
the
same
degree
of
ilnesse
when
it
is
abused
:
for
honour
never
looks
so
unlike
it selfe
as
when
it
is
disparraged
.
But
where
descent
and
desert
meet
,
they
present
such
a
comely
structure
;
as
it
becomes
an
imitable
president
of
honour
.
And
in
these
did
Androgeus
seirously
reflect
upon
Philogenes
.
So
as
,
a
double
respect
may
seeme
mutually
to
ingage
him
:
a
constant
care
of
his
Daughters
cure
:
and
a
desire
to
have
her
so
matcht
,
as
fame
,
fortune
,
and
family
,
with
such
loyall
arguments
of
fancy
may
joyntly
meet
.
He
vowes
then
never
to
oppose
this
solemnity
,
so
his
presence
may
cure
her
infirmity
.
This
induceth
him
to
wish
all
faire
successe
to
Eschites
faithfull
endeavour
;
the
prosperous
issue
whereof
(
though
encounter'd
with
some
rubs
)
you
shall
understand
hereafter
.
CHAP.
XXX
.
Philocles
returnes
home
;
and
is
accepted
by
the
Parents
for
their
Sonne
in
law
.
This
revives
their
seeming
distemper'd
Daughter
;
yet
fearing
still
a
relapse
of
her
Parents
acceptance
,
she
feignes
the
continuance
of
her
distemper
.
NOw
had
retired
Philocles
by
the
meanes
of
Eschites
,
received
word
of
his
dearest
Doriclea's
distemper
:
and
privately
,
how
he
conceived
that
his
returne
from
that
fruitlesse
retire
,
would
not
only
free
her
from
further
danger
,
but
be
a
direct
way
to
accomplish
his
own
desires
.
So
as
,
there
was
nothing
more
expected
then
his
speedy
repaire
by
her
Parents
:
which
,
(
if
he
intended
not
to
stand
in
his
owne
light
,
and
prevent
all
promising
hopes
to
do
himselfe
good
)
he
wished
him
not
to
foreslow
,
least
delay
might
increase
her
distemper
,
&
consequently
abridge
his
hopes
of
aspiring
higher
.
But
such
inducements
little
needed
to
hasten
with
winged
speed
the
returne
of
Phil●cles
.
Nor
could
he
at
first
imagine
this
relation
of
his
friend
Eschites
to
be
any
thing
else
but
a
dreame
,
or
some
practise
to
surprize
him
:
so
as
he
seemed
doubtfull
what
to
resolve
,
protracting
so
much
time
till
he
had
expostulated
with
his
own
thoughts
:
by
offering
unto
them
a
survey
of
those
dangers
he
might
probably
incurre
,
with
those
incredible
comforts
,
which
if
these
relations
prov'd
true
,
he
might
assuredly
partake
.
Happy
,
thrice
happy
art
thou
Philocles
,
if
these
newes
be
true
which
come
from
thy
Eschites
!
But
canst
thou
expect
so
present
a
calme
after
so
rough
a
tempest
?
Were
not
all
her
friends
lately
opposed
against
thee
,
and
so
incensed
at
thee
,
as
nothing
could
appease
their
fury
but
thy
captivity
,
nay
thy
blood
,
if
they
could
have
seazed
on
thee
?
And
were
these
deepe
Characters
of
their
boundlesse
passion
writ
in
Sand
,
that
they
should
be
so
quickly
razed
:
or
their
vowed
revenge
so
easily
forgotten
,
that
it
should
be
so
speedily
extinguished
?
Well
,
I
know
net
what
to
think
on●t
!
These
lines
writ
by
my
deare
Eschites
makes
me
confident
:
but
those
experienc'd
practises
of
her
incensed
friends
and
my
implacable
foes
makes
me
more
irresolute
.
I
am
assured
,
that
Eschites
would
not
ingage
his
Pen
to
one
line
,
that
might
endanger
my
life
.
And
I
know
this
to
be
his
own
Character
.
Besides
,
to
make
his
relation
more
probable
,
he
here
tels
thee
of
Doriclea's
distemper
,
and
how
her
Fever
took
her
upon
thy
departure
from
her
:
and
how
thy
returne
,
if
his
judgement
faile
him
not
,
may
recover
her
.
Be
it
then
unto
death
,
I
will
encounter
with
the
worst
of
danger
,
so
my
presence
may
restore
her
,
and
cure
her
distemper
.
Pretended
feares
are
meere
shadowes
to
loyall
fancy
.
They
cannot
strike
that
heart
which
is
truly
struck
with
love
.
And
I
appeale
to
thee
Doricl●a
,
if
mine
be
not
truly
wounded
.
Be
my
●eturne
then
for
thy
safety
,
and
I
shall
hold
my
desir●s
crowned
in
perishing
for
thee
.
This
said
,
in
a
private
disguise
he
addresseth
himselfe
for
his
returne
;
to
the
end
he
might
with
lesse
suspicion
repaire
to
his
firme
friend
Eschites
,
and
upon
further
conference
with
him
,
be
satisfied
whether
the
Coast
were
cleare
or
no.
And
in
short
time
might
he
make
his
returne
,
seeing
,
whatsoever
he
pretended
,
his
distance
was
not
great
by
meanes
of
his
retire
.
For
as
yet
he
had
not
crost
the
Seas
,
nor
taken
any
other
Order
then
the
constant
profe●●ion
of
a
Lover
:
who
had
made
Doriclea
his
Saint
,
to
whom
he
was
so
devoted
,
as
wheresoever
he
sojourned
;
his
engaged
hear●
could
not
be
divided
from
that
object
where●●t
was
so
inseparably
united
.
But
the
wayes
of
love
,
when
they
promise
most
smoothnesse
,
are
ever
encounter'd
with
sundry
difficulties
.
This
our
Philocles
felt
,
who
in
his
returne
walking
one
evening
on
the
Sea-shore
,
to
refresh
his
spirits
with
the
aire
of
the
Sea
,
was
had
in
suspicion
by
some
Seafaring-men
for
a
Spy
,
and
restrain'd
that
night
by
command
;
with
a
purpose
next
morning
to
bring
him
before
a
Justice
,
who
had
given
direction
upon
notice
thereof
,
that
he
should
be
safely
guarded
,
and
early
next
morne
he
would
take
examination
of
him
:
and
upon
what
occasion
he
took
such
serious
survey
of
that
Coast
and
Vessels
within
the
Roade
.
Philocles
,
as
it
fortuned
,
having
been
formerly
acquainted
with
this
Gentleman
who
should
examine
him
(
for
they
had
been
Cöacademicks
)
and
fearing
much
lest
these
delayes
might
either
be
interpreted
in
him
a
coldnesse
of
fancy
,
or
towards
his
approved
Eschites
an
opinionate
jealousie
;
to
hasten
his
departure
thence
,
he
prepared
his
way
to
this
Justice
,
in
these
lines
.
Sir
,
L
Awes
which
should
be
lines
of
life
,
to
direct
,
to
support
,
and
steere
the
course
of
an
injuried
Supplicant
,
are
for
most
part
become
Spiderwebs
to
e●wreathe
and
enwarp
the
smaller
,
to
give
more
liberty
to
a
powerfull
Offender
.
See
the
misery
of
time
!
But
to
recall
my selfe
,
this
is
not
the
errour
of
time
,
but
of
man
.
Where
a
direct
eye
becomes
squinted
by
respect
;
or
bleared
by
receipt
;
or
quite
put
out
by
a
prej●dicate
conceipt
.
Dangerous
aymes
are
these
to
a
well-governed
State
.
Where
Religion
shapes
it selfe
to
Policy
,
and
candid
pretences
cloze
with
impiety
.
As
you
are
Man
,
observe
that
Golden-meane
,
which
returnes
the
best
Character
of
Man
.
The
fairest
path
that
conducts
man
to
immortality
,
is
ever
on
this
Theatre
of
Earth
,
to
remember
his
mortality
.
And
the
nearest
resemblance
that
Man
can
have
to
his
Maker
,
is
to
mixe
Justice
with
Mercy
,
and
to
reduce
them
to
●n
equall
temper
:
by
exhibiting
them
to
all
in
a
proportionable
●easure
.
●ilies
among
Thornes
are
Beauteous
Objects
.
Be
you
the
same
in
this
World
of
Weeds
.
So
shall
your
name
flourish
,
and
have
a
report
behinde
you
better
meriting
praise
;
then
emi●ency
of
state
,
or
preceden●y
of
place
.
These
Paper
Presents
are
but
weak
reflexions
of
stronger
affections
:
yet
being
the
best
Sacrifice
of
a
friend
and
no
Spy
,
(
unlesse
it
be
in
the
scrutiny
of
his
own
heart
)
they
deserve
the
higher
place
in
your
esteeme
.
Meane
time
,
expresse
your
sel●e
what
your
Countrey
expects
from
you
,
the
State
requires
of
you
,
and
for
which
all
good
men
will
love
you
:
which
shall
be
the
most
assid●ate
and
affectionate
wish
of
him
,
who
remaines
the
constant
honourer
of
your
vertues
,
Philocles
.
This
Letter
infinitely
pleased
the
Gentleman
;
but
when
he
found
it
subscribed
to
by
Philocles
,
the
Character
pleased
him
so
much
the
better
.
In
a
word
,
so
farre
was
he
from
entertaining
him
as
a
Spy
,
as
he
familiarly
embraced
him
in
the
armes
of
a
friend
.
His
Guarders
were
soone
discharged
:
desiring
nothing
more
then
to
heare
the
relation
of
his
fortunes
.
Which
done
,
after
his
earnest
invitation
to
stay
longer
with
him
,
he
accommodated
him
with
whatsoever
might
necessarily
befit
him
:
&
with
a
friendly
dismission
wished
him
all
happy
successe
in
his
love-assay
.
The
next
evening
,
he
privately
came
to
his
constant
friend
Eschites
his
house
;
with
whom
he
freely
conversed
,
being
satisfied
by
him
that
all
things
were
very
like
to
second
his
expectation
:
and
how
nothing
was
more
desired
then
his
speedy
and
happy
arrivall
.
Yet
,
he
told
him
withall
,
that
he
held
it
fitting
that
he
should
not
presently
approach
the
presence
of
his
Mistresse
,
least
she
,
who
was
not
as
yet
wholly
recovered
,
by
being
overjoyed
by
his
presence
,
might
make
relapse
into
her
sicknesse
:
which
to
prevent
,
he
intended
to
prepare
her
by
degrees
,
to
the
end
his
unexpected
comming
to
her
,
might
through
an
immoderate
passion
of
joy
,
lesse
occasion
her
distemper
.
Meane
time
,
while
this
approved
Artist
was
preparing
way
for
his
securer
accesse
to
his
Mistresse
,
he
neglects
not
that
office
which
amity
enjoynes
him
to
performe
to
his
Friend
.
For
having
heard
where
his
faithfull
friend
Euphilus
lodged
,
whom
he
so
intimately
loved
;
and
that
for
his
cause
he
was
there
arrived
▪
he
could
not
chuse
but
expresse
those
loyall
devotions
which
his
love
so
much
deserved
,
and
what
his
travaile
for
his
sake
had
so
well
confirmed
.
It
is
not
easie
to
relate
what
incredible
joy
and
comfort
the
one
conceived
in
the
others
presence
:
wherewith
Philo●les
seemed
so
intranced
,
as
in
the
end
not
able
to
containe
himselfe
any
longer
,
but
out
of
the
affluence
of
his
joy
,
he
burst
forth
in
this
manner
.
Deare
Euphilus
,
I
now
perceive
well
that
the
influence
of
those
Divine
Powers
,
whose
eyes
are
ever
fixed
on
us
,
knowes
best
how
to
attemper
our
greatest
discomforts
with
rayes
of
solace
.
Long
it
is
not
since
we
were
divided
,
yet
during
that
small
distance
of
time
,
never
did
poore
mortall
encounter
with
more
extreames
,
nor
taste
lesse
of
hope
,
nor
partake
lesse
in
helpe
.
Injoyned
I
was
to
live
where
I
did
most
loathe
;
and
to
be
estranged
from
that
place
where
I
did
most
love
.
Divided
I
was
not
only
from
my
fancy
,
but
restrained
of
my
liberty
.
Those
whom
I
honoured
most
for
her
deare
sake
whom
I
loved
best
,
publish'd
themselves
my
profest
foes
:
desiring
nothing
more
then
to
have
me
in
pursuit
;
yea
,
and
if
the
Lawes
would
extend
so
farre
,
to
bring
me
within
the
compasse
of
my
life
to
recompence
the
constancy
of
my
love
.
Yet
behold
!
how
by
the
Divine
Clemency
this
storme
is
cleared
;
these
menacing
Clouds
dispelled
;
these
foggy
vapours
dispersed
;
poore
Philocles
released
;
his
captivity
to
liberty
reduced
;
what
he
least
expected
now
freely
offered
:
and
that
humane
comforts
might
come
linked
,
as
my
former
discomforts
came
not
singled
:
behold
,
a
double
blessing
invirons
me
!
The
presence
of
a
firme
Friend
,
with
the
fruition
of
a
faire
Mistresse
.
Euphilus
no
lesse
rejoyced
in
the
enjoyment
of
his
Philocles
;
to
whom
,
after
he
had
related
the
occasion
of
his
repaire
to
those
parts
,
and
mutually
solaced
themselves
in
the
repetition
of
their
former
pleasures
and
studies
:
A
Messenger
from
Eschites
cut
off
their
further
discourse
:
for
now
was
Philocles
summoned
to
a
more
amiable
task
;
the
delightfull
visit
of
his
Doriclea
.
The
absolute
comfort
whereof
is
more
easily
conceived
,
then
delivered
:
for
in
discoveries
of
this
nature
,
Imagination
ever
becomes
the
best
Painter
.
Let
it
suffice
,
that
their
first
salute
closed
it selfe
in
silence
;
discourse
was
supplyed
with
long-languishing
looks
.
Tongues
had
their
tyes
,
while
affection
became
sole
Prolocutor
for
the
heart
.
One
that
had
seen
Philocles
,
would
have
thought
that
he
had
been
some
professed
Artist
:
and
that
he
was
gathering
the
symptomes
of
her
Malady
by
the
motion
of
her
pulse
.
And
for
Doriclea
,
though
she
durst
not
well
forget
her
Fever
for
feare
of
her
Father
,
yet
she
found
in
her selfe
no
such
distemper
,
but
she
might
leave
her
Bed
,
and
admit
the
style
of
a
Bride
,
so
this
dissembling
love-errour
might
free
her
from
censure
.
Nor
need
she
much
fear
her
Parents
displeasure
;
for
so
propitious
a
Genius
h●as
breathed
on
Philocles
,
as
in
this
his
returne
home
,
Hymen
is
ready
to
pron●unce
his
doome
,
being
so
well
accepted
by
the
Parents
for
their
Sonne
in
law
.
This
so
revives
their
seeming-distemper'd
Daughter
,
as
her
Doctor
may
safely
leave
her
,
seeing
Philocles
presence
secures
her
from
danger
.
A
silent
expression
,
gives
the
pregnant'st
testimony
of
a
deepe
grounded
affection
;
Much
had
restored
Philocles
to
speak
to
D●riclea
:
no
lesse
,
had
restrained
Doriclea
to
impart
to
Philocles
.
Joyes
had
their
fresh
supplyes
;
as
if
some
golden
dreame
had
imparadis'd
their
thoughts
with
some
glorious
vision
;
the
conception
whereof
could
not
be
delivered
,
till
a
sacred
Rite
had
really
confirmed
,
what
their
united
hearts
had
mutually
vowed
.
Yet
like
a
discreet
jealous
Girle
,
fearing
still
a
declining
of
her
Parents
acceptance
,
which
might
beget
in
her
a
relapse
,
or
some
further
inconvenience
,
she
feignes
the
continuance
of
her
distemper
:
which
soone
after
becomes
clearely
removed
by
her
Parents
cheerefull
approvement
of
their
loves
,
as
you
shall
heare
hereafter
.
CHAP.
XXXI
.
The
Marriage
is
solemnized
;
and
with
such
privacy
as
knowne
to
none
but
their
own
Family
.
Valeria
,
who
was
supposed
to
be
Euphilus
Page
,
discovers
himselfe
to
be
Philocles
Sister
;
with
whose
consent
Euphilus
marries
,
being
long
before
privately
a●●ianc'd
to
her
.
FAncy
,
which
had
beene
so
long
in
conceiving
,
must
now
come
to
her
full
birth
&
perfection
:
And
that
which
before
breathed
only
in
desires
,
must
now
cheerefully
aspire
to
action
.
Suppose
we
now
Doriclea
to
have
shaken
off
her
Fever
,
left
her
Chamber
,
to
prepare
her selfe
for
those
loyall
and
lawfull
embraces
of
her
constant
●over
.
Her
Parents
to
inlarge
the
extent
of
her
comforts
,
rejoyce
no
lesse
in
their
Sonne
,
then
she
in
her
Spouse
.
All
things
are
provided
,
nothing
neglected
that
may
comply
with
the
content
of
two
enlivened
spirits
so
affectionately
united
Hands
could
not
be
wanting
,
where
hearts
were
so
joyntly
knitting
.
Nor
could
there
want
a
full
Consort
to
cheere
their
assistants
with
complete
harmony
;
when
these
two
affectionate
Consorts
so
gracefully
appeared
in
Hymens
livery
.
What
would
you
have
more
to
life
expressed
?
The
memory
of
their
forme●
discomforts
becomes
quite
,
exiled
by
this
presentment
.
Here
might
you
see
loves
Metamorp●●o●is
lively
acted
,
and
by
such
persons
,
as
their
●●●ractive
features
bestowed
an
infinite
grace
on
whatsoever
they
presented
.
But
Love
admits
no
Rhetorick
;
unlesse
it
be
that
which
the
Orator
held
the
sole
ornament
and
accomplishment
of
an
Oration
,
which
without
any
other
adjunct
completely
closed
it selfe
in
Action
.
To
make
an
abstract
then
of
all
,
conceive
our
late
distemper'd
Doriclea
now
recovered
(
and
perchance
her
feigned
●ever
discovered
,
)
her
deare
Philocles
now
resto●ed
,
and
in
a
new
state
ready
to
be
invested
,
her
distasted
Parents
now
attoned
,
and
all
things
so
well
composed
:
as
this
long-desired
Marriage
is
now
to
be
solemnized
;
and
with
such
privacy
,
as
knowne
to
none
but
their
own
Family
.
Mellida
,
who
every
foot
,
no
doubt
,
thinks
of
her
own
Sweetheart
must
be
the
only
Bride-maide
to
her
Mistresse
:
and
faithfull
Euphilus
the
only
choice
Consort
that
must
wait
on
Philocles
.
The
way
with
flowers
is
privately
paved
;
no
Guest
invited
but
what
their
owne
Family
afforded
;
all
things
were
with
much
secrecy
carried
,
and
to
good
purpose
,
as
shall
be
hereafter
declared
.
To
the
Temple
they
come
,
where
these
Nuptials
are
with
all
privacy
celebrated
.
And
here
Dorielea's
Father
takes
his
Daughter
by
the
hand
,
and
playes
the
best
part
that
joyfull
Doriclea
could
ever
receive
from
a
Father
.
Which
Rite
being
thus
solemnized
,
and
the
Married
Couple
with
their
few
Attendants
homeward
returned
:
an
other
occasion
of
infinite
joy
unexpectedly
arose
from
this
auspicious
meeting
.
After
dinner
,
Philocles
with
his
dearest
Doriclea
,
took
along
with
them
in
their
company
his
loyall
and
constant
friend
Euph●lus
to
recreate
their
spirits
abroad
:
to
whom
Philocles
imparted
himselfe
in
this
sort
.
Deare
Friend
,
though
every
minute
of
time
be
this
day
incomparably
precious
to
me
,
being
only
to
be
imployed
in
discourse
with
my
Choice
:
yet
must
I
reserve
ever
some
houres
for
your selfe
,
from
whom
I
have
received
not
only
contentment
in
my
youth
,
when
our
Studies
were
communicated
together
,
but
from
that
continuate
profession
and
expression
of
your
love
;
all
which
confirme
me
yours
so
long
as
I
have
life
.
You
have
been
this
day
a
witnesse
of
my
long-expected
happinesse
:
nor
could
I
have
one
,
to
whom
I
stood
more
indeared
,
in
all
the
world
to
witnesse
it
.
And
I
should
hold
my
wishes
highly
crowned
might
I
have
you
seazed
of
her
whom
you
sometimes
so
much
affected
.
I
meane
Valeria
,
one
,
who
though
my
Sister
,
preferred
you
in
her
conceipt
farre
above
her
Brother
.
And
I
must
freely
unbosome
my selfe
to
you
;
it
did
not
a
little
content
me
to
perceive
such
arguments
of
mutuall
affection
betwixt
you
.
But
perhaps
,
E●philus
,
your
disposition
becomes
now
estranged
from
those
thoughts
.
Either
her
meane
fortunes
could
not
content
you
,
or
some
aversenesse
in
her
friends
distasted
you
;
or
some
better
hopes
of
preferment
have
so
possessed
you
,
as
Ualeria
h
'as
lost
that
place
in
your
heart
,
which
she
sometimes
had
,
and
consequently
,
poore
Wench
,
must
be
content
against
her
will
to
forego
,
what
she
so
entirely
desir'd
,
and
leave
you
to
a
Choice
whom
you
better
deserv'd
.
You
reteine
a
worse
opinion
of
me
,
Philocles
,
then
my
true
zeale
and
affection
to
your
vertuous
Sister
ever
yet
exprest
.
No
,
my
noble
friend
,
Ualeria
never
found
Euphilus
inconstant
to
this
houre
.
I
have
preferred
her
in
my
choice
,
&
fortified
my
resolves
against
a
change
.
Nor
was
it
a
weaknesse
in
her
fortunes
that
declined
my
love
:
but
the
meane
estate
of
a
younger
Brother
which
could
not
supply
us
with
meanes
how
to
live
.
This
was
discreet
love
,
answered
Philocles
;
those
who
truly
love
,
make
it
the
least
of
their
feares
,
how
they
may
afterwards
live
.
But
if
that
be
the
only
let
,
I
shall
easily
supply
that
want
.
I
have
not
prized
your
love
at
so
low
an
estimate
,
as
to
accompt
you
worthy
so
neare
a
gage
as
Brotherhood
,
and
then
exclude
you
from
sha●ing
in
my
estate
.
My
Uncles
providence
shall
be
unto
us
an
equall
purchase
.
Be
not
so
unadvisedly
modest
as
to
refuse
it
;
you
shall
accept
it
,
with
her
love
to
boot
who
may
deserve
it
.
And
when
your
rising
hopes
shall
better
furnish
you
,
then
may
your
modesty
requite
it
.
This
free
and
friendly
offer
forced
Euphilus
to
reply
with
silence
:
which
Philocles
observing
;
What
,
said
he
do
you
take
this
curtsie
so
strangely
,
as
if
it
were
not
an
inherent
office
of
amity
,
for
friends
to
have
dependance
one
of
an
other
in
cases
of
necessity
?
Trust
me
Euphilus
,
were
you
in
my
case
,
I
should
make
bold
upon
the
same
tearmes
,
to
become
a
sharer
with
you
in
whatsoever
fortune
with
a
more
bounteous
hand
had
bestowed
on
you
.
Neither
shall
your
desires
be
foreslowed
;
for
with
your
Parents
leave
,
my
deare
Doriclea
,
within
few
dayes
shall
our
speed
be
winged
homeward
,
to
consummate
that
which
you
and
my
Sister
have
so
long
wished
,
and
from
which
my
aged
Father
hath
not
much
declined
.
Delay
,
answered
the
Page
,
breeds
danger
;
and
marriages
are
the
merriest
,
when
they
come
together
.
Pretty
Wagge
,
replyed
Philocles
,
but
where
must
we
finde
a
Bride
?
The
least
feare
of
a
thousand
,
answered
the
Page
;
no
doubt
,
but
if
my
Master
will
finde
a
Bridegroome
,
and
you
prove
as
good
as
your
word
,
the
Page
shall
finde
one
to
make
a
Bride
.
Wherewith
,
Valeria
,
who
was
supposed
to
be
Euphilus
Page
,
discover'd
her selfe
to
be
Philocles
Sister
:
with
this
excuse
,
how
it
was
fancy
,
with
a
feare
(
for
so
report
told
her
)
of
a
forraigne
Intruder
:
both
which
,
put
upon
her
that
disguise
,
and
prest
her
to
that
adventure
:
and
no
immodesty
(
though
too
inlarg'd
a
love
may
weare
that
Livery
)
that
first
put
that
habit
upon
her
.
A
generall
joy
was
conceived
upon
this
discovery
.
For
Philocles
could
not
rejoyce
so
much
at
the
sight
of
his
Sister
,
as
his
Sister
did
in
the
enjoyment
of
her
Brother
:
nor
Doriclea
in
this
mutuall
joy
of
them
both
,
more
then
amazed
Euphilus
in
this
strange
Metamorphosis
of
his
Page
to
his
Lover
.
The
relation
whereof
cheered
not
a
little
the
old
Couple
,
Androgeus
and
Euriclea
:
who
provided
a
new
Festivall
for
this
unexpected
Nuptiall
.
For
,
with
Phllocles
consent
,
to
their
incomparable
content
,
was
●oyall
Euphilus
married
to
his
loving
Sister
;
being
long
before
privately
affianc'd
to
her
.
This
occasionall
Solemnity
,
made
a
second
dayes
private
Jubilee
in
the
whole
family
.
For
the
night
,
we
leave
it
to
the
free
and
lawfull
embraces
of
these
affectionate
Lovers
:
w●
admit
no
light
lines
to
disclose
the
freedome
of
Loves
Lawes
.
If
Phidias
had
a
Curtaine
for
his
Picture
;
well
might
these
livelylovely
features
shroud
their
delights
from
the
too
inquisitive
eye
of
a
wanton
censure
.
CHAP.

.
The
occasion
of
this
private
Solemnization
:
and
how
Mellida
,
by
advice
of
her
Mistresse
Doriclea
,
assuming
her
name
and
habit
,
writ
to
Mardanes
,
how
she
preferr'd
him
in
the
choice
of
affection
before
any
other
;
acquainting
him
how
in
a
private
disguise
to
prevent
danger
and
her
Parents
displeasure
,
she
would
meet
him
,
when
and
where
in
a
lawfull
Nuptiall
way
,
he
might
enjoy
her
.
YOu
may
imagine
there
was
some
occasion
of
the
privacy
of
this
Solemnization
:
and
you
shall
heare
the
cause
which
induced
it
.
Happy
Doriclea
(
for
now
h'as
she
attained
the
height
of
her
desires
)
was
not
altogether
forgetfull
of
poore
Mell●da's
distresse
,
in
the
seazure
of
her
own
happinesse
Something
must
be
done
,
or
this
foolish-en●mour'd
Girle
is
quite
undone
.
For
you
may
be
confident
,
Mellida
could
not
play
well
the
Bridemaid
,
but
she
must
sigh
how
to
be
made
a
Bride
.
Teares
are
too
sweet
a
food
for
afflction
.
And
none
ever
felt
it
in
an
higher
degree
then
she
did
;
who
,
rather
then
she
would
be
deprived
of
that
aged
Object
of
her
grounded
love
,
could
chuse
with
all
her
heart
to
surcease
to
live
.
But
live
she
must
,
and
enjoy
her
love
,
or
her
faithfull
Mistresse
must
faile
in
her
designe
.
Which
the
better
to
prepare
Doriclea
now
possest
of
what
she
affected
most
,
becomes
stronger
in
her
fancy
,
in
regard
her
conceipt
was
not
now
to
work
for
her selfe
;
for
that
love-task
was
done
,
but
for
her
perplexed
Maid
who
desired
nothing
more
then
to
enjoy
what
her
Mistresse
had
done
.
And
protraction
is
a
forture
to
affection
.
Her
aime
is
to
expedite
her
Maids
desire
:
left
too
much
thought
of
love
should
weaken
the
effects
of
love
.
The
Plot
then
must
be
thus
carried
;
and
thrice
happy
M●llida
,
if
not
miscarried
:
for
if
it
prosper
,
Mardanes
must
enjoy
Mellida
&
Mellida
those
embraces
(
aged
God
wot
)
but
to
her
more
pleasing
then
the
copletest
Lover
.
For
never
was
Woman
taken
more
with
the
affection
of
such
a
feature
:
nor
ever
favoured
any
object
more
,
that
presented
lesse
f●vour
.
But
Lovers
are
blinde
,
or
a
blinde
God
could
not
so
easily
wound
them
.
Mount
then
must
our
amorous
Mellida
to
the
height
of
her
affections
,
and
in
them
to
an
unexpected
growth
of
fortunes
by
her
Mistresse
meanes
,
which
she
accommodates
thus
.
Mellida
,
by
the
advice
of
her
Mistresse
Doriclea
,
by
whom
she
must
be
directed
,
or
all
her
aimes
are
distracted
,
assuming
her
name
and
habit
writes
to
her
endeared
Mardanes
,
whom
never
before
beauty
lookt
upon
,
much
lesse
doted
on
;
and
his
reverend
age
,
which
now
grew
hottest
in
love
,
when
he
grew
coldest
in
blood
,
she
thus
encounters
.
Mellidas
Letter
to
Mardanes

SIr

Lines
cannot
blush

so

,
modesty
admits
●
freedome
to
our
Pen
,
which
would
be
taxed
immodesty
,
being
delivered
by
the
tongue
.
I
appeale
to
your selfe
,
(
for
your
privatest
thoughts
canot
be
lesse
then
conscious
of
my
love
)
if
I
have
not
preferr'd
you
in
the
choice
of
affection
before
any
other
:
closing
with
your
desires
in
all
things
that
might
not
touch
mine
honour
.
But
it
is
the
Evening
crow●es
the
Day
confirme
then
what
you
have
professed
;
those
vowes
wherein
I
stand
ingaged
,
shall
not
be
neglected
.
Should
I
tell
you
as
much
as
I
write
to
you
,
I
could
not
chuse
but
blush
;
I
love
you
;
and
if
you
lose
no
time
,
may
live
with
you
.
But
Parents
I
have
,
and
their
command
must
be
obeyed
;
nor
do
I
finde
them
so
well
affected
towards
our
loves
,
what
soever
they
formerly
professed
.
Sir
,
I
must
freely
tell
you
,
lose
no
opportunity
if
you
hold
me
an
Object
worthy
of
your
fancy
.
To
prevent
then
prying
eyes
(
affections
dangerous
spyes
)
let
me
acquaint
you
(
nor
is
it
to
be
conceipted
immodesty
but
strength
of
fancy
that
thus
directs
me
)
how
in
a
private
disguise
to
prevent
danger
and
my
Parents
displeasure
(
whose
constant
aime
is
to
bestow
me
upon
an
other
)
I
shall
meet
you
when
and
where
you
please
in
a
lawfull
N●ptiall
way
,
to
accomplish
both
our
desires
,
and
divert
those
approaching
feares
which
surprize
me
,
till
you
may
with
all
freedome
enjoy
me
,
by
accompting
me
your
own
:
which
interest
I
shall
preserve
with
an
unstained
fame
.
Nor
do
I
hold
any
place
both
for
safet●
and
conveniency
more
proper
then
that

adjoyning

If
you
approve

this
Plot
,
or

to
enjoy
Doriclea's

,
or
to
prevent

When
Mellida
had
writ
this
Letter
to
her
affectionate
Lover
,
by
the
direction
of
her
Mistresse
;
whose
pleasure
it
was
that
her
own
marriage
the
day
before
should
be
privately
solemnized
,
that
it
might
not
be
discovered
to
Mardanes
;
she
addressed
her selfe
in
this
manner
to
her
Mistresse
.
Alas
Mistresse
!
But
should
Mardanes
now
heare
●it
her
of
your
marriage
,
or
take
my
Mask
off
to
kisse
me
before
he
h'as
married
me
;
what
would
become
of
me
?
And
you
know
,
lip-labour
cannot
want
,
where
true
love
h
'as
once
warm'd
the
heart
.
Doubt
not
Wench
,
said
Dor●clea
;
for
my
marriage
,
it
was
so
privately
carried
,
as
excepting
our
own
Family
none
knowes
of
it
:
which
privacy
was
only
intended
for
thy
preferment
.
But
if
thou
hast
no
power
over
thy selfe
,
but
thou
must
unmask
before
the
watch-word
be
given
,
I
cannot
remedy
that
.
Nay
,
Mi●●esse
,
replyed
Mellida
,
I
would
do
any
thing
so
I
might
enjoy
him
;
but
I
feare
much
I
cannot
hold
when
I
see
him
,
but
I
must
have
an
hearty
desire
to
take
a
taste
of
him
.
Thy
virgin-modesty
,
answered
her
Mistresse
,
may
dispence
with
that
;
so
thy
indiscreet
fancy
bring
thee
not
to
a
discovery
.
Solinus
I
have
prepared
to
second
thee
;
whose
approved
zeale
h
'as
infinitely
ingag'd
me
to
him
.
Only
then
,
let
me
advise
thee
,
be
wise
in
this
carriage
of
thy
love
:
lef●
thy
own
folly
bring
thee
to
a
losse
in
the
pursuit
of
him
whom
thou
doest
love
.
I
am
perswaded
,
the
Plot
will
take
,
if
it
be
not
spoiled
by
thy
own
mistake
.
Thus
encouraged
Doriclea
her
perplexed
Mellida
;
directing
her
in
every
passage
what
to
do
:
and
advertising
her
withall
,
that
if
she
observed
but
two
particulars
,
she
could
not
possibly
erre
in
this
Project
:
Silence
,
and
concealing
of
her
count'nance
.
And
this
Mellida
promiseth
to
observe
:
and
that
she
will
not
kisse
him
till
she
h'as
married
him
:
nor
unmask
,
till
the
Mask
be
done
;
meaning
,
till
the
marriage
be
finished
:
unlesse
,
Mistresse
,
said
she
,
too
much
love
make
me
forget
,
and
then
I
am
sure
my
fame
,
fancy
and
fortunes
,
shall
fare
the
worse
for
it
.
Thus
is
a
way
prepared
for
Mellida's
happinesse
,
as
she
accompts
it
:
nor
is
she
●lower
in
her
care
to
have
this
Letter
delivered
,
then
she
is
in
her
desire
to
have
her
affectionate
wishes
crowned
.
A
Messenger
then
,
and
such
an
one
whose
fidelity
promiseth
secrecy
,
is
provided
:
while
every
houre
seemes
a
yeare
till
she
heare
such
an
answer
,
as
may
breathe
upon
her
hopes
;
by
affording
her
that
content
which
she
cannot
enjoy
in
a
single
state
.
Forestall
our
History
we
must
not
;
the
issue
of
this
Plot
shall
disclose
it selfe
in
this
our
ensuing
and
closing
discourse
:
which
,
as
Comick
conclusions
suit
best
with
love
,
where
vertue
drawes
the
line
,
makes
it
the
least
of
our
meaning
to
set
in
a
Cloud
,
but
to
cleare
all
preceding
stormes
with
a
cheerefull
calme
.
CHAP.
XXXIII
.
The
Plot
holds
;
Mardanes
rejoyces
infinitely
at
his
unexpected
happinesse
;
thanks
his
Spurcina
for
her
well-spell'd
practise
;
and
infeoffes
his
unknowne
B●ide
(
though
much
against
his
will
)
in
his
riches
.
ZEalous
was
S●linus
of
the
successe
of
this
Device
.
Neither
was
he
lesse
serious
in
effecting
,
then
Doriclea
was
in
contriving
,
nor
Mellida
,
whom
it
concerned
most
,
in
expecting
.
Suppose
now
Mardanes
to
have
received
this
Love-letter
:
which
his
foure
eyes
are
not
content
with
once
reading
,
nor
revising
,
but
examines
every
love-line
.
Every
accent
must
be
crowned
with
a
blessing
:
every
period
with
a
gracefull
acceptance
.
In●initely
rejoyces
he
at
his
unexpected
happinesse
,
that
he
should
come
to
enjoy
such
a
Mistresse
,
whom
both
youth
and
fortunes
suited
for
their
Bride
,
but
fell
short
of
their
hope
.
Many
thankes
he
gives
his
Spurcina
for
her
well-spell'd
practise
;
and
commends
his
own
pate
for
attempting
such
an
enterprize
.
He
holds
it
not
fitting
to
spin
out
any
needlesse
time
for
effecting
his
Doriclea's
desires
.
He
findes
too
much
passion
in
her
lines
,
to
counterfeit
with
the
disposition
of
her
heart
.
But
there
is
nothing
that
makes
delay
seeme
more
hatefull
to
him
,
nor
fuller
of
danger
;
then
that
some
may
become
competitors
in
his
love
;
and
by
her
Parents
choice
,
leave
him
in
the
lurch
.
This
makes
him
stirre
his
stumps
,
and
to
answer
her
Letter
with
such
speedy
cheerefulnesse
,
as
Mellida
can
expect
no
lesse
then
all
successe
to
her
desires
,
and
to
her
long-languishing
hopes
assured
happinesse
.
Neither
was
there
any
thing
which
wrought
more
ple●singly
upon
his
deluded
thoughts
,
then
that
witty
device
(
as
he
conceived
it
)
of
suting
herselfe
in
a
disguise
to
prevent
her
Parents
aimes
:
which
confirmed
the
love
she
profest
,
and
ingagd
him
to
requite
her
love
in
that
which
he
esteemed
best
.
And
that
was
his
substance
;
wherein
,
like
a
free-hearted
Bridegroome
,
he
resolves
so
amply
to
infe●ffe
her
;
as
her
large
Dower
might
appear
a
manifest
argument
of
the
love
he
bore
her
.
But
indeed
this
bounty
of
his
proceeded
rather
from
S●linus
advice
then
his
own
disposition
:
who
cunningly
told
him
,
that
the
only
way
to
winne
her
Parents
acceptance
after
the
private
consummation
of
their
marriage
,
was
to
invest
her
in
all
his
estate
before
their
marriage
.
Which
would
not
only
be
a
means
to
reconcile
them
,
but
highly
to
inlarge
their
bounty
towards
him
.
Nothing
could
be
moved
,
whereto
Mardanes
h'as
not
assented
.
Neither
is
it
easie
to
beleeve
how
he
begins
to
burnish
his
crazy
carkasse
afresh
.
His
crisping
and
frizling
Irons
must
be
used
;
his
bald
head
with
a
ru●ling
Periwig
furnished
;
a
Pomander
to
sweeten
his
earthy
savour
prepared
;
an
Orange
stuck
with
Cloves
to
restore
that
breath
which
was
wholly
mortified
.
And
to
publish
to
the
world
,
that
he
reteines
still
some
colour
of
love
,
he
displayes
his
light
fancy
in
the
lightest
colours
of
loves
livery
.
But
so
improperly
suited
,
as
his
antick
habit
proclaimes
him
an
unqualified
Gallant
.
Infinitely
stands
he
devoted
to
his
Glasse
;
and
yet
me
thinks
he
should
not
love
it
for
presenting
him
a
face
so
neare
him
,
which
might
rather
affright
him
then
like
him
,
if
he
were
not
too
much
besotted
on
it
,
for
his
sake
that
owes
it
.
For
so
strongly
had
those
amorous
lines
wrought
on
his
conceipt
,
as
he
verily
thought
there
was
something
in
him
which
deserved
more
love
,
then
either
his
age
could
promise
,
or
the
decayes
of
nature
performe
.
Suppose
him
them
with
as
much
speed
as
his
Snaile-like
pace
may
afford
him
,
addressing
his
course
towards
the
place
where
his
Doriclea
is
to
meet
him
,
to
consummate
those
Rites
which
incomparably
transport
him
.
And
meet
him
she
will
,
but
not
as
a
Bride
,
but
a
Maide
to
his
Bride
:
for
they
have
chang'd
their
habits
,
to
make
the
Plot
passe
for
currant
:
that
the
Mistresse
in
this
mysterious
disguise
might
passe
for
her
Maide
,
the
Maide
for
her
Mistresse
.
For
howsoever
,
Doriclea
was
sometimes
resolved
to
recommend
the
whole
carriage
of
this
Plot
to
Solinus
,
who
had
exprest
many
faithfull
offices
betwixt
her selfe
and
her
dearest
Philocles
;
yet
being
jealous
how
Mellida
would
demeane
her selfe
in
the
presence
of
her
Mardanes
,
she
desired
to
become
an
Agent
in
the
project
;
which
no
question
was
better
mannaged
by
her
presence
,
then
it
had
beene
without
her
assistance
.
Love-aged
Mardanes
omits
no
time
,
nor
neglects
no
meane
,
but
provides
a
Man
to
accomplish
that
Rite
which
so
equally
complyes
with
both
their
desires
.
Who
,
as
they
enter'd
the
Elme-grove
neighbouring
to
Solinus
Cell
;
they
might
see
two
Gentlewomen
masked
,
with
one
ushering
them
of
grave
and
reverend
aspect
.
Whom
,
upon
their
approach
Mardanes
saluted
;
but
no
conference
was
admitted
,
lest
the
Plot
might
be
discovered
▪
Howsoever
,
great
desire
had
poore-●namour'd
Mellida
to
bestow
a
more
familiar
curtsie
on
her
ancient
Bridegroome
,
but
he
must
not
as
yet
be
admitted
that
honour
,
for
her
Mask
without
discovery
could
entertaine
no
lip-labour
.
To
this
private
Solemnity
they
go
,
wherein
Solinus
supplyed
the
place
of
a
Father
to
Mellida
;
who
was
with
such
observance
attended
by
Doriclea
,
as
no
Maid
could
be
more
officious
.
The
Rite
thus
solemnized
,
and
Mardanes
seazed
of
what
(
as
he
conceived
)
he
most
affected
,
and
Mellida
of
what
she
before
all
the
World
preferred
;
as
the
Bridegroome
and
Bride
were
lovingly
going
hand
in
hand
together
.
Mardanes
might
perceive
this
Inscription
newly
indorsed
on
the
rinde
of
an
aged
Elme
,
as
they
were
to
go
forth
at
the
West
end
of
the
Grove
.
Love
is
a
witty
thing
,
and
can
devise
A
thousand
tricks
to
blinde
a
thousand
eyes
.
He
loves
and
weds
,
but
weds
not
where
he
loves
;
She
loves
and
weds
,
and
weds
whom
she
approves
.
Many
before
this
time
have
oft
assaid
The
Maid
forth
'
Mistresse
,
M●●
for
the
Maid
.
If
you
would
know
the
issue
of
their
love
,
Inquire
of
Cupids
Mask
in
[
a
](A16685-e20230-b)
a
Properly
,
styled
,
Pla●ti●●●
Elysian
Grove
,
or
Erycina's
Pa
phian
La●●●
.
Venus
Grove
.
A
Match
well
made
,
she
poore
,
and
he
is
rich
,
But
wed't
,
she
's
rich
,
he
poor
,
—
gramercy
Witch
.
This
was
ingraven
the
very
morning
before
by
Solinus
;
the
perusall
whereof
did
not
a
little
trouble
Mardanes
.
But
no
sooner
was
his
Mellida
unmask'd
,
then
he
needed
no
Oedipus
to
expound
this
Riddle
.
Then
but
too
late
,
he
findes
himselfe
deluded
:
but
never
too
late
,
said
Doriclea
,
to
be
contented
:
vert●e
must
be
made
of
a
necessity
;
and
a
poore
vertuous
Maid
may
well
deserve
your
fancy
.
Not
altogether
so
poore
,
replyed
Solinus
;
for
if
she
be
poore
,
what
will
become
of
Mardanes
:
who
h'as
infeoffed
her
in
all
his
estate
,
and
invested
her
in
all
the
meanes
hee
h'as
in
the
world
?
Nay
,
said
Mellida
,
he
h'as
indowed
me
with
the
personall
estate
of
himselfe
,
which
I
preferre
before
all
the
world
.
And
would
you
have
more
,
answered
Doriclea
?
Trust
me
,
Mardanes
,
you
shall
finde
more
true
love
in
the
Maid
,
then
ever
you
could
have
found
in
her
Mistresse
.
The
one
could
give
you
an
hand
,
but
no
heart
:
whereas
the
other
gives
you
both
hand
and
heart
.
The
one
was
ingaged
;
the
other
free
,
and
to
your
love
devoted
.
The
one
might
live
with
you
,
but
never
love
you
;
the
other
can
both
love
you
,
and
live
with
you
.
Never
then
in
my
opinion
did
any
Witch
a
better
part
,
then
in
bestowing
an
old
fortune
on
a
young
heart
.
A
spirit
that
can
dispose
it
,
and
not
scatter
it
:
as
your
care
was
to
provide
and
gather
it
.
The
Bridegroome
stood
as
mute
as
a
Fish
all
this
time
:
till
at
last
the
Brazen-head
spoke
,
saying
;
What
must
be
,
must
be
.
But
he
vowed
i●
ever
it
were
his
fortune
againe
to
match
,
he
would
never
buy
a
Pig
in
a
poak
,
nor
wed
a
Wench
in
a
Mask
.
But
those
that
were
there
,
thought
he
might
save
that
labour
,
for
by
course
of
Nature
he
had
married
his
executor
.
After
they
had
accompanied
them
home
;
broke
the
Bride-cake
,
and
brought
the
unweldy
Bridegroome
to
his
bed
;
wishing
the
Bride
good
rest
(
being
all
she
could
possibly
expect
)
and
advising
her
to
take
a
good
life
of
that
she
had
,
to
keep
an
hank
of
that
she
held
,
and
to
supply
the
want
of
youth
with
the
wealth
of
age
;
they
departed
thence
;
while
Doriclea
with
many
thankes
commended
Solinus
to
his
Cell
;
neare
which
her
dearest
Philocles
with
his
constant
Euphilus
purposely
retired
to
bring
her
home
:
who
upon
relation
of
these
unexpected
newes
to
her
Parents
and
Family
,
rejoyced
highly
.
Within
some
few
Moneths
,
after
an
heavie
leave
and
hearty
blessing
,
these
two
married
Couples
returned
into
their
Countrey
;
where
they
were
received
with
great
joy
by
the
Gentry
,
who
admired
much
the
relation
of
their
amity
:
and
whose
constancy
to
this
day
,
reteines
testimonies
of
their
living
memory
.
To
close
then
our
History
,
whose
ground-colour
is
truth
,
and
consequently
deserves
to
be
entertained
with
more
trust
:
as
vertue
playes
her
Master-prize
in
every
noble
enterprize
;
so
by
her
Princely
presence
and
timely
attendance
,
these
lived
together
lovingly
,
loved
neighbourly
,
and
rejoyced
mutually
:
which
happy
Period
is
wished
to
all
faithfull
Lovers
by
the
Compiler
of
this
History
.
