what would'st thou have me say when thou talk'st thus to me thou in love Ha ha Cle. What shall I say what do to beget faith in thee Pandora's resolution against Marriage which I so much rejoyc'd at is fatally become my scourge and I must dye or have her Lon. That 's the only way to obtain belief do but hang thy self and then a Printed Ballad The Dary Maids greatest Faith will make them swear thou dyedst for love Cle. Do my looks agree with so much jest does not my face declare my heart does love Lon. No nor ever can do to me would'st thou have me belye my self that thou mayest laugh at me these shallow Plots are lost on me Exit Lonzartes Cle. This is right had I been fool'd into the Platonick pound I might have knock'd my head against the walls and never been believed Thus I blow away those bubles those ayrie Lectures of chast love which lead silly mortals into slavery Ha Sanga Enter Sanga Sanga Your pleasure Sir Cle. Go presently and sum mon all that merry Crew who danc'd the other day to Sup with me this Night and bid the Musick come Exit Sanga Sanga I go Sir Cle. I will retreat while I am safe and be Arm'd against my Wise Virtuous Chast Friends with their Cob-web Netts so subtilly laid to catch me Thus I throw all their Inchantments off And now like the Grand Seignor after some great Victory atcheiv'd I will retire to my Seraglio Exit Enter the Duke with Theodocia Pandora Lindamira Teretia and Train and Silvander Duke You tell me a story beyond belief Theodocia Clearcus playes with you all this while he love The. If Pandora be mistaken he will triumph over Women kind for ever Pan. I wish it were no worse Sir t is I who now am to be pittied who for the common sport and for his good have brought an evil on my self I cannot bear Duke Why Pandora he is descended of our own blood and his Estate proportionable to his Birth so that if you can raise his virtues above his vices you 'l have no cause to murmur at his love Pan. True Sir if I were not ingag'd to a single life much might be said to set Clearcu's merrits above mine Lin. Is there no dispensation for such resolves Madam when it may be disputed whether the gods approve them They give us Lawes enough we need none of our own making Pan. My heart will ne're consent to alter my resolves Lin. We shall have enough to do then The. Let us all agree to laugh him out of it Lin. You will find little cause for mirth when you see Clearcus next Madam The. Can so few hours alter a man of his temper so much Lin. He is asham'd of his first Principles and is angry at that shame He hates himself for loving and loves so much he dares not wish it less This mixture of passions does beget such a confusion of thoughts that makes him look as if he had fed on nought but sighes and tears this twelve Month and I fear we shall have cause to turn our 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sorrow for him Duke I 'le give him Commands that shall divert him come with me Theodocia Exeunt Duke and Theodocia Lin. T is great pitty so brave a man should be so lost Pan. T is so Lindamira but how can it be help'd must I become mad because he is so 'T was not a rash word by chance let fall but on debate and mature judgement because I saw none so happy after Marriage as before Why may not I then live and dye as free as I was born Lin. You see why because the gods do not allow so great felicity on Earth as might keep us from ever wishing to be with them pray whoever heard of a pair of true Lovers that desir'd to be in Heaven if they might stay here till Doomsday T is therefore for our good that such united hearts are so rarely to be found on Earth take heed Pandora that you bring not more evils on your head then you fore see Pan. I must now bear my Fortune as I may Lin. Though you have not met with many happy Marriages I have heard of some who all their lives have had a constant spring of love their passions so high and joyes so great each striving to raise the others happiness above their own this I believe and hope for Methinks till I am married I am a thing laid by as if forgotten by the gods Pan T is not high passions nor great joyes I doubt to find but their continuance suppose the Gallant Lovers to the Wars be sent what terrours will possess their frighted Ladies till their return and if miscarry what will their whole lives have to joy at after Lin. Those who stay at home may have equall dangers these are anticipated dreams of evils that may never happen then you conceive not the joy those dangers bring when they are over this world affords us nothing to relish our delights by but such accidents as love with some fears and dangers bring T is sharps make sweet the sweeter Pan. But if I am satisfied with less joyes without those pains you find so useful why must I try to gain more happiness then I do wish for when I have joyes enough already Lin. Joyes enough Madam there is no such thing in Nature as enough of what we love Pan. I am weary of this idle talk Lin. And I know no better Entertainment Enter to them Lonzartes and Silvander Pan. How think you Silvander is Clearcus what he seems Sil. Lonzartes knows him best Madam Lon. I do believe he loves though I seem not to credit him and am now resolv'd to play with his passion as he has done with mine 't will entertain the Princess rarely to see how I shall anger him Sil. Is he enough fix't to be so abus'd for if neither Men nor Women have any faith in his budding love he may fly off for ever Lon. I am now going to see what humour he is in Sil. I 'le wait on you Pan. Pray do and let me know how I must behave my self that would not hurt him Lin. I can direct you best if you 'l trust your self to me Pan. I shall trust you as far as any in this affair let us consult within Exeunt Enter Clearcus and Sanga with Men and Women dancers Cle. Welcome my dear Friends I will be no more seduc'd by grave Lonzartes fooleries this night shall reunite us while we live Is the Musique come San. Not yet Sir Cle. I have broke through their Nets and now the day and night are ours to Revel in we will be so merry that our hearts shall seem much lighter then our heeles Enter Sanga Sanga Lonzartes and Silvander are without Cle. They are come as I could wish I 'le entertain 'um as they deserve they are my kind chast virtuous well-wishing spies pray retire all Exeunt Dancers into that Gallery while I dispatch
