=Pam.= This damzell was come of an honest stock (as I haue said) and wanted no welth to hir preferment: for bewty and shape of body, also goodly to beholde, what needeth many words, she was well worthy to haue lien by a Prince his side. She had a wooer, who earnestly besought hir good will, a man for personage & bewtie not vnlike hir self. =Ma.= And what was his name? =Pam.= Alas, God blesse me from the luck, hys name also was _Pamphilus_, when he had done all that he could, and assayed all waies possible to obtaine hir good will, she still obstinately despised him. In fine, the yong man pined away with sorrow, and dyed. Not long after, this wench beganne to dote vppon such a handsome squire, as for his personage, I might more rightly call an Ape than a mā. =Ma.= What say you man? =Pam.= She was so farre fallen in the brakes with him, that I am not able to expresse. =Ma.= What, so proper a wench with so vnsightly a péece? =Pam.= He had a head made like a sugar lofe, the heare thereof growing as it were by stitches and that knotted, vnkempt, full of scurfe and nittes, and a good parte of hys scalpe was bared by the disease called _Alopecia_, his eies sunk into his head, his nosethrils wide & turning vpwardes, a mouth like an Ouen with rotten téeth, and a stamering tongue, a scuruy beard, a hunch backe, a belly like a tode, and legges as right as a paire of horse hāmes. [Sidenote: Alopecia _is a disease that causeth the heare to pill off_.] =Ma.= Marry sir you describe him to be a very _Thersites_? [Sidenote: Thersites _a Prince, that came with the Greekes to the siege of Troye, which in person and condicion was of all other most deformed_.] =Pam.= Nay besides al this, they say, he had but one of his eares. =Ma.= Peraduenture he had lost the other in some battaile. =Pam.= No surely, euen in peace. =Ma.= Who durst be so bolde to doe that? =Pam.= Who but _Dionysius_ that cutteth of eares at the Pillory. =Ma.= Wel, it may be yet y^e his substance at home was such as made a full mendes for all the deformitie that you haue spoken of. =Pam.= Nay surely: he had vnthriftilye spent all, and ought more than hee was worth, with this suchen an husbande doth this so goodly a wench nowe lead hir life. =Ma.= You haue declared a thing much to be pittied. =Pam.= Surely it is true, the Goddesse _Nemesis_ woulde so haue it, that the iniurie of the yong man, whome shée despised might be requited of hir. [Sidenote: Nemesis, _the Goddesse of wrath or indignation_.] =Ma.= I would rather wish to be destroyed with a thunderbolt out of hande, than to be yoked with such a mate. =Pam.= Therfore beware how you prouoke this Ladie, who reuengeth disdaine, and frame your harte to loue him againe, who loueth you. =Ma.= If that may suffice (loe) I loue you again. =Pam.= But I craue that loue at your hand, which should be perpetuall and to loue me as your owne. I séeke a wife, not a friend.
