_Fie, cease to wonder, Though you are heare Orpheus with his Iuory Lute, Moue Trees and Rockes. Charme Buls, Beares, and men more sauage to be mute, Weake foolish singer, here is one, 5 Would haue transform’d thy selfe, to stone._ Second Song. A Dialogue betweene _Nouall_, and _Beaumelle_. _Man._ _Set_ Phoebus, _set, a fayrer sunne doth rise, From the bright Radience of my Mrs. eyes Then euer thou begat’st. I dare not looke, Each haire a golden line, each word a hooke, The more I striue, the more I still am tooke._ 5 Wom. _Fayre seruant, come, the day these eyes doe lend To warme thy blood, thou doest so vainely spend. Come strangled breath._ Man. _What noate so sweet as this, That calles the spirits to a further blisse?_ Wom. _Yet this out-sauours wine, and this Perfume._ 10 Man. _Let’s die, I languish, I consume._ CITTIZENS SONG OF THE COURTIER. _Courtier, if thou needs wilt wiue, From this lesson learne to thriue. If thou match a Lady, that Passes thee in birth and state, Let her curious garments be 5 Twice aboue thine owne degree; This will draw great eyes vpon her, Get her seruants and thee honour._ COURTIERS SONG OF THE CITIZEN. _Poore Citizen, if thou wilt be A happy husband, learne of me; To set thy wife first in thy shop, A faire wife, a kinde wife, a sweet wife, sets a poore man vp. What though thy shelues be ne’re so bare: 5 A woman still is currant ware: Each man will cheapen, foe, and friend, But whilst thou art at tother end, What ere thou seest, or what dost heare, Foole, haue no eye to, nor an eare; 10 And after supper for her sake, When thou hast fed, snort, though thou wake: What though the Gallants call thee mome? Yet with thy lanthorne light her home: Then looke into the town and tell, 15 If no such Tradesmen there doe dwell._ NOTES [_Dramatis personae._] _Charalois_--the name _Charalois_ is a corruption of _Charolais_, the Count of Charolais being the hereditary title of the heir-apparent of the Duchy of Burgundy, for whom the county of Charolais, an arrière-fief of Burgundy, was reserved as an appanage. This domain had been purchased by Philip the Bold for his son, John the Fearless. I, i, 4. _argue me of_--obsolete construction: “accuse me of.” Cf.
