Ism. Though since I had him, thou know’st I have endeavour’d
To make his Will my Law,
Till by degrees and Custom, which makes things natural,
I found this Heart, which ne’er had been engag’d
To any other, grow more soft to him;
And still the more he lov’d, the more I was oblig’d,
And made returns still kinder; till I became
Not only to allow, but to repay his Tenderness.
Isab. She counterfeits rarely. Aside.
Madam, indeed I have observ’d this truth.
