_Mount._ Till I be dust, my _Zanthia_ be confirm'd. Sparrows, and Doves, sit coupling twixt thy lips, It is not love, but strong _Libidinous_ will That triumphs o're me, and to satiate that, What difference twixt this _Moore_, and her fair Dame? Night makes their hews alike, their use is so, Whose hand is so subtle, he can colours name, If he do winck, and touch 'em? lust being blind, Never in women did distinction find. [_Exit._ _Scæna Secunda._ _Enter two Gentlewomen._ 1. But yfaith dost thou think my Lady was never in love? 2. I rather think she was ever in love: in perfect charity. I mean, with all the world. [1]. A most Christian answer I promise you: but I mean in Love with a man. 2. With a man? what else? would'st have her in love with a beast? 1. You are somewhat quick: but if she were, it were no President: did you never read of _Europa_, the fair, that leapt A bull, that leapt the Sea, that swoom to land, and then leapt her? 2. Oh heavens, a bull? 1. Yes, a white bull. 2. Lord, how could she sit him? where did she hold? 1. Why, by the horn, since which time, no woman (almost) is Contented, till she have a horn of her own, to hold by. 2. Thou art very knavish. 1. And thou very foolish: but sirah, why dost not thou marry? 2. Because I would be no mans looking-glase? 1. As how? 2. As thus, there is no Wife, if she be good, and true, will honor, and obey, but must reflect the true countenance of her husband upon him; if he look sad upon her she must not look merrily upon him: if he look merrily, she must not sorrowfully, else she is a false glass, and fit for nothing but breaking: his anger [must] be her discontent; his pleasure, her delight: if he weep, she must cry: if he laugh, she must show her teeth: if he be sick, she must not be in health; if he eat Cawdles, she must eat pottage, she must have no proper passion of her own; and is not this a tyranny? 1. Yes, yfaith, Marriage may well be called a yoak; Wives then are but like superficial lines in Geometry, that have no proper motion of their own, but as their bodies their husbands move, yet I know some Wives, that are never freely merry, nor truly pleased, but when they are farthest off their husbands. 2. That's because the Moon governs 'em which hath most light and shines brightest, the more remote it is from the Sun; and contrary is more sullen, dim, and showes least splendor, when it is neerest. 1. But if I were to marry I would marry a fair effeminate fool. 2. Why? 1. Because I would lead the blind whither I list. 2. And I the wisest man I could get for money, because I had rather follow the cleer-sighted: bless me from a husband That sales by his Wives compass! 1. Why?
