1 |
Ay, madam, so you stumble not unheedfully. |
|
2 |
Please you repeat their names, I'll show my mind
|
|
3 |
As of a knight well-spoken, neat and fine;
|
|
4 |
Well of his wealth; but of himself, so so. |
|
5 |
Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! |
|
6 |
Pardon, dear madam: 'tis a passing shame
|
|
7 |
Then thus: of many good I think him best. |
|
8 |
I have no other, but a woman's reason;
|
|
9 |
Ay, if you thought your love not cast away. |
|
10 |
Yet he, of all the rest, I think, best loves ye. |
|
11 |
Fire that's closest kept burns most of all. |
|
12 |
O, they love least that let men know their love. |
|
13 |
Peruse this paper, madam. |
|
14 |
That the contents will show. |
|
15 |
Valentine's page; and sent, I think, from Proteus.
|
|
16 |
To plead for love deserves more fee than hate. |
|
17 |
That you may ruminate. |
|
18 |
What would your ladyship? |
|
19 |
I would it were,
|
|
20 |
Nothing. |
|
21 |
To take a paper up that I let fall. |
|
22 |
Nothing concerning me. |
|
23 |
Madam, it will not lie where it concerns
|
|
24 |
That I might sing it, madam, to a tune.
|
|
25 |
It is too heavy for so light a tune. |
|
26 |
Ay, and melodious were it, would you sing it. |
|
27 |
I cannot reach so high. |
|
28 |
Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out:
|
|
29 |
No, madam; it is too sharp. |
|
30 |
Nay, now you are too flat
|
|
31 |
Indeed, I bid the base for Proteus. |
|
32 |
She makes it strange; but she would be best pleased
|
|
33 |
Madam,
|
|
34 |
What, shall these papers lie like tell-tales here? |
|
35 |
Nay, I was taken up for laying them down:
|
|
36 |
Ay, madam, you may say what sights you see;
|
|
37 |
Alas, the way is wearisome and long! |
|
38 |
Better forbear till Proteus make return. |
|
39 |
I do not seek to quench your love's hot fire,
|
|
40 |
But in what habit will you go along? |
|
41 |
Why, then, your ladyship must cut your hair. |
|
42 |
What fashion, madam shall I make your breeches? |
|
43 |
You must needs have them with a codpiece, madam. |
|
44 |
A round hose, madam, now's not worth a pin,
|
|
45 |
If you think so, then stay at home and go not. |
|
46 |
Then never dream on infamy, but go.
|
|
47 |
All these are servants to deceitful men. |
|
48 |
Pray heaven he prove so, when you come to him! |
