_Wel._ This is a sudden passion, God hold it.
This fellow out of his fear sure has
Perswaded her. I'le give him a new suit on't.
_La._ A parting kiss, and good Sir, let me pray you
To wait me in the Gallerie.
_Wel._ I am in another world, Madam where you please. [_Exit_ Welford.
_Elder Lo._ I will to Sea, and 't shall goe hard but I'le be drown'd
indeed.
_La._ Now Sir you see I am no such hard creature,
But time may win me.
_Elder Lo._ You have forgot your lost Love.
_La._ Alas Sir, what would you have me do? I cannot call him back again
with sorrow; I'le love this man as dearly, and beshrow me I'le keep him
far enough from Sea, and 'twas told me, now I remember me, by an old wise
woman, that my first Love should be drown'd, and see 'tis come about.
_Elder Lo._ I would she had told you your second should be hang'd too, and
let that come about: but this is very strange.
_La._ Faith Sir, consider all, and then I know you'le be of my mind: if
weeping would redeem him, I would weep still.
_Elder Lo._ But say that I were _Loveless_,
And scap'd the storm, how would you answer this?
_Lady._ Why for that Gentleman I would leave all the world.
_Elder Lo._ This young thing too?
_Lady._ That young thing too,
Or any young thing else: why, I would lose my state.
_Elder Lo._ Why then he lives still, I am he, your _Loveless_.
_Lady._ Alas I knew it Sir, and for that purpose prepared this Pageant:
get you to your task. And leave these Players tricks, or I shall leave
you, indeed I shall. Travel, or know me not.
_Elder Lo._ Will you then marry?
_Lady._ I will not promise, take your choice. Farewell.
_Elder Lo._ There is no other Purgatorie but a Woman.
I must doe something. [_Exit_ Loveless.
_Enter_ Welford.
_Wel._ Mistress I am bold.
_Lady._ You are indeed.
_Wel._ You so overjoyed me Lady.
_Lady._ Take heed you surfeit not, pray fast and welcom.
_Wel._ By this light you love me extreamly.
_Lady._ By this, and to morrows light, I care not for you.
_Wel._ Come, come, you cannot hide it.
_Lady._ Indeed I can, where you shall never find it.
_Wel._ I like this mirth well Lady.
_Lady._ You shall have more on't.
_Wel._ I must kiss you.
_Lady._ No Sir.
_Wel._ Indeed I must.
_Lady._ What must be, must be; I'le take my leave, you have your parting
blow: I pray commend me to those few friends you have, that sent you
hither, and tell them when you travel next, 'twere fit you brought less
bravery with you, and more wit, you'le never get a wife else.
_Wel._ Are you in earnest?
_Lady._ Yes faith. Will you eat Sir, your horses will be readie straight,
you shall have a napkin laid in the butterie for ye.
_Wel._ Do not you love me then?
_Lady._ Yes, for that face.
_Wel._ It is a good one Ladie.
_Lady._ Yes, if it were not warpt, the fire in time may mend it.
_Wel._ Me thinks yours is none of the best Ladie.
_Lady._ No by my troth Sir; yet o' my conscience, You would make shift
with it.
_Wel._ Come pray no more of this.
