And then as if he’d taken me for some Deity,

He made a long disorder’d amorous Speech,

Which brought me back to Sense again:

But Lorenzo told him that I was a Mortal,

And brought him nearer to me,

Where he began to make such Vows of Love—

Ism. What then?

Lau. Then I am ruin’d—

To all I said he found a contradiction,

And my denials did but more inflame him;
