_Lang._ If your lordship will be pleased to salute me without ceremony, I shall be willing to exchange my service for your favour; but this worshipping kind of entertainment is a superstitious vanity; in plainness and truth, I love it not. _D'Am._ I embrace your disposition, and desire to give you as liberal assurance of my love as my Lord Belforest, your deserved favourer. _Lang._ His lordship is pleased with my plainness and truth of conversation. _D'Am._ It cannot displease him. In the behaviour of his noble daughter Castabella a man may read her worth and your instruction. _Lang._ That gentlewoman is most sweetly modest, fair, honest, handsome, wise, well-born, and rich. _D'Am._ You have given me her picture in small. _Lang._ She's like your diamond; a temptation in every man's eye, yet not yielding to any light impression herself. _D'Am._ The praise is hers, but the comparison your own. [_Gives him the ring._ _Lang._ You shall forgive me that, sir. _D'Am._ I will not do so much at your request as forgive you it. I will only give you it, sir. By ---- you will make me swear. _Lang._ O! by no means. Profane not your lips with the foulness of that sin. I will rather take it. To save your oath, you shall lose your ring.--Verily, my lord, my praise came short of her worth. She exceeds a jewel. This is but only for ornament: she both for ornament and use. _D'Am._ Yet unprofitably kept without use. She deserves a worthy husband, sir. I have often wished a match between my elder son and her. The marriage would join the houses of Belforest and D'Amville into a noble alliance. _Lang._ And the unity of families is a work of love and charity. _D'Am._ And that work an employment well becoming the goodness of your disposition. _Lang._ If your lordship please to impose it upon me I will carry it without any second end; the surest way to satisfy your wish. _D'Am._ Most joyfully accepted. Rousard! Here are letters to my Lord Belforest, touching my desire to that purpose. _Enter_ ROUSARD, _looking sickly_. Rousard, I send you a suitor to Castabella. To this gentleman's discretion I commit the managing of your suit. His good success shall be most thankful to your trust. Follow his instructions; he will be your leader. _Lang._ In plainness and truth. _Rous._ My leader! Does your lordship think me too weak to give the onset myself? _Lang._ I will only assist your proceedings. _Rous._ To say true, so I think you had need; for a sick man can hardly get a woman's good will without help. _Lang._ Charlemont, thy gratuity and my promises were both But words, and both, like words, shall vanish into air. For thy poor empty hand I must be mute; This gives me feeling of a better suit. [_Exeunt_ LANGUEBEAU _and_ ROUSARD. _D'Am._ Borachio, didst precisely note this man? _Bor._ His own profession would report him pure.
