Your honest wisedome has aduis'd mee well Once more I le moue her by perswasiue meanes If shee resist all mildenesse set apart I will make vse of my authoritie Lan.

Since Charlemont's absence I haue waighed his loue with the spirit of consideration and in sinceritie I finde it to be friuolous and vaine With-draw your respect his affection deserueth it not Casta. Good sir I know your heart cannot prophane The holinesse you make profession of With such a vitious purpose as to breake The vow your owne consent did help to make Lan.

Belieue me Mother I doe loue a man Leu. Preferr'st th' affection of an absent Loue Before the sweet possession of a man The barren minde before the fruitfull body Where our creation has no reference To man but in his body being made Onely for generation which vnlesse Our children can be gotten by conceit Must from the body come If Reason were Our counsellour wee would neglect the worke Of generation for the prodigall Expence it drawes vs too of that which is The wealth of life Wise Nature therefore hath Reseru'd for an inducement to our sence Our greatest pleasure in that greatest worke Which being offer'd thee thy ignorance Refuses for th' imaginarie ioy Of an vnsatisfied affection to An absent man Whose bloud once spent i' th' warre Then hee 'l come home sicke lame and impotent And wed thee to a torment like the paine Of Tantalus continuing thy desire With fruitlesse presentation of the thing It loues still moou'd and still vnsatisfied Enter Belforest Da'mville Rousard Sebastian Languebeau c.
