_Ser._ Most certainly Madam. _Bel._ I'll see him instantly. So prethee tell him. [_Exit Ser._ _Mer._ I yield my self too weak In argument to oppose you: you may lead me Whither you please. _Leo._ 'Tis answer'd like my Sister; And if in him you find not ample cause To pray for me, and daily on your knees, Conclude I have no judgement. _Mer._ May it prove so: Friend, shall we have your company? _Bel._ Two hours hence I will not fail you. _Leo._ At your pleasure Madam. [_Ex._ Leo. _and_ Mer. _Enter_ Euphanes. _Bel._ Could I in one word speak a thousand welcomes (And hearty ones) you have 'em: Fie, my hand, We stand at no such distance, by my life The parting kiss you took before your travel Is yet a Virgin on my lips, preserv'd With as much care as I would do my fame To entertain your wish'd return. _Euph._ Best Lady, That I do honour you, and with as much reason As ever man did virtue; that I love you, Yet look upon you with that reverence As Holy men behold the Sun, the Stars, The Temples, and their gods, they all can witness; And that you have deserv'd this duty from me; The life, and means of life, for which I owe you, Commands me to profess it, since my fortune Affords no other payment. _Bel._ I had thought, That for the trifling courtesies, as I call them, (Though you give them another name) you had Made ample satisfaction in th' acceptance, And therefore did presume you had brought home Some other Language. _Euph._ No one I have learn'd Yields words sufficient to express your goodness; Nor can I ever choose another theme And not be thought unthankful. _Bel._ Pray you no more As you respect me. _Euph._ That charm is too powerful For me to disobey it: 'Tis your pleasure, And not my boldness Madam. _Bel._ Good _Euphanes_, Believe I am not one of those weak Ladies, That (barren of all inward worth) are proud Of what they cannot truly call their own, Their birth or fortune, which are things without them: Nor in this will I imitate the world, Whose greater part of men think when they give They purchase bondmen, not make worthy friends: By all that's good I swear, I never thought My great estate was an addition to me, Or that your wants took from you. _Euph._ There are few So truly understanding or themselves Or what they do possess.
