ACT III.
SCENE I.
_Palace of the Duke of Urbin._
_Enter_ FAUNUS _and_ NYMPHADORO.
_Nym._ Faith, Fawn, 'tis my humour, the natural sin of
my sanguine complexion. I am most enforcedly in love
with all women, almost affecting them all with an equal
flame.
_Herc._ An excellent justice of an upright virtue: you
love all God's creatures with an unpartial affection.
_Nym._ Right; neither am I inconstant to any one in
particular.
_Herc._ Tho' you love all in general, true; for when you
vow a most devoted love to one, you swear not to tender
a most devoted love to another; and indeed why should
any man over-love anything? 'Tis judgment for a man
to love everything proportionably to his virtue: I love
a dog with a hunting pleasure, as he is pleasurable in
hunting; my horse, after a journeying easiness, as he is
easy in journeying; my hawk, to the goodness of his
wing; and my wench---- 17
_Nym._ How, sweet Fawn, how?
