consideration of my friend who indeed is only a great scholler and all his honours and riches lie in his mind Eug. Come Come pray tell me vnckle how does my cosen Momford Mom. VVhy well verie well Neece so is my friend Clarence well too then is there a worthie gentleman well as any is in England I can tell ye Eug. But when did you see my Cosen Mom. And t is pittie but he should do well and he shall be well too if all my wealth will make him well Eug. VVhat meanes hee by this tro yee your Lo is verie dancitiue me thinkes Mom. I and I could tel you a thing would make your Ladiship verie dancitiue or else it were verie dunsatiue yfaith O how the skipping of this Christmas blocke of ours moues the blockhead heart of a woman indeed any thing that pleaseth the foolish eye which presently runnes with a lying tale of Excellence to the mind Eug. But I pray tell me my Lord could you tell me of a thing would make me dance say you Mom. VVel farewell sweet Neece I must needs take my leaue in earnest Eug. Lord blesse vs here 's such a stir with your farewels Mom. I wil see you againe within these two or three dayes a my woord Neece Eug. Gods pretious two or three dayes why this Lord is in a marualous strange humor Sit downe sweet Vnckle yfaith I haue to talke with you about greate matters Mom. Say then deere Neece bee shorte vtter your mind quickly now Eug. But I pray tell me first what 's that would make me daunce yfaith Mom. Daunce what daunce hetherto your dauncers legges bow for-sooth and Caper and Ierke and Firke and dandle the bodie aboue them as it were their great childe though the speciall Ierker bee aboue this place I hope here lies that shudd fetch a perfect woman ouer the Coles yfaith Eug. Nay good Vnckle say what 's the thing you could tel me of Mom. No matter no matter But let mee see a passing prosperous forehead of an exceeding happie distāce betwixt the eye browes a cleene lightning eye a temperate and freshe bloud in both the cheekes excellent markes most excellent markes of good fortune Eug. VVhy how now Vnckle did you neuer see mee before Mom. Yes Neece but the state of these thinges at this instant must bee specially obserued and these outwarde signes being now in this cleere eleuation showe your vntroubled mind is in an excellent power to preferre them to act forth then a litle deere Neece Eug. This is excellent Mom. The Creses here are excellent good The proportion of the chin good the little aptnes of it to sticke out good And the wart aboue it most exceeding good Neuer trust me if all things bee not answerable to the predictiō of a most diuine fortune towards her uow if shee haue the grace to apprehend it in the nicke ther 's all Eug. VVell my Lorde since you will not tell me your secret I le keepe another from you with whose discouerie you may much pleasure mee and whose concealement may hurt my estate And if you bee no kinder then to see mee so indangered I le bee very patient of it I assure you Mom. Nay then it must instantly foorth This kind con iuration euen fires it out of me and to be short gather all your Iudgment togeather for here it comes Neece Clarence Clarence rather my Soule then my friēd Clarence of too substantiall a worth to haue any figures cast about him notwithstanding no other woman with Empires could stirre his affections is with your vertues most extreamely in loue and without your requitall dead And with it fame shall sound this golden disticke through the world of you both Non illo melior quisquam nec amantior aequi Vir fuit aut illa reuerentior vlla Dearum Eug. Ay me poore Dame O you amase me Vnckle Is this the wondrous fortune you presage VVhat man may miserable women trust Mom. O peace good Ladie I come not to rauishe you to any thing But now I see how you accept my motion I perceiue how vpon true triall you esteeme me Haue I ridd al this Circuite to leuie the powers of your Iudgment that I might not prooue their strength too sodainly with so violent a charge And doe they fight it out in white bloud And showe me their hearts in the soft Christall of teares Eug. O vnckle you haue wounded your selfe in charging me that I should shun Iudgement as a monster if it woulde not weepe I place the poore felicitie of this worlde in a woorthie friende and to see him so vnworthely reuolted I shedd not the teares of my Brayne but the teares of my soule And if euer nature made teares the effects of any worthie cause I am sure I now shedde them worthelie Mom. Her sensuall powers are vp yfaith I haue thrust her soule quite from her Tribunall This is her Sedes vacans when her subiects are priueledged to libell against her and her friends But weeps my kind Neece for the wounds of my friendshippe and I toucht in friendship for wishing my friende doubled in her singular happinesse Eug. How am I doubl'd when my honour and good name two essentiall parts of mee woulde bee lesse and lost Mom. In whose Iudgment Eug. In the iudgment of the world Mom. Which is a fooles boult Nihil a vertute nec a viritate remotius quam Vulgaris opinto But my deare Neece it is most true that your honour and good name tendred as they are the species of truth are worthilie two essentiall parts of you But as they consist only in ayrie titles and corrupteble blood whose bitternes sanitas et non nobilitas efficit and care not how many base and execrable acts they commit they touch you no more then they touch eternitie And yet shal no nobilitie you haue in either be impaired neither Eu. Not to marrie a poore gentleman Mom. Respect him not so for as he is a gentleman he is noble as he is welthilie furnished with true knowledge he is rich and therein adorn'd with the exatest complements belonging to euerlasting noblenesse Eug. Which yet will not maintaine him a weeke Such kinde of noblenesse giues no cotes of honour nor can scarse gette a cote for necessitie Mom. Then is it not substantiall knoweledge as it is in him but verball and fantasticall for Omnia in illa ille complexu tenet Eug. VVhy seekes he me then Mom. To make you ioynt partners with him in all thinges and there is but a little partiall difference betwixt you that hinders that vniuersall ioynture The bignesse of this circle held too neer our eye keepes it frō the whole Spheare of the Sunne but could we sustaine it indifferently betwixt vs and it it would then without checke of one beame appeare in his fulnes Eug. Good Vnckle be content for now shall I neuer dreame of contentment Mom. I haue more then done Ladie and had
