Jul. It never lied to you; if it did,
'Twas only when it call'd you mild and gentle.
Lel. Good Sir, no more; make not my understanding,
After I have suffer'd thus much evil by you,
So poor to think I have not reach'd the end
Of all your forc'd affections; yet because
I once lov'd such a sorrow too too dearly,
As that would strive to be; I do forgive ye
Even heartily, as I would be forgiven,
For all your wrongs to me; my charity
Yet loves you so far, (though again I may not)
And wish when that time comes, you will love truly,
(If you can ever do so) you may find
The worthy fruit of your affections,
True love again, not my unhappy Harvest,
Which, like a fool, I sow'd in such a heart,
So dry and stony, that a thousand showers
From these two eyes, continually raining,
Could never ripen.
Jul. Y' have conquer'd me;
I did not think to yield, but make me now,
Even what you will, my Lelia, so I may
Be but so truly happy to enjoy you.
Lel. No, no, those fond imaginations,
Are dead and buried in me, let 'em rest.
Jul. I'll marry you.
Ang. The Devil thou wilt, Julio,
How that word waken'd me! come hither, friend,
Thou art a fool, look stedfastly upon her,
Though she be all that I know excellent,
As she appears, though I could fight for her,
And run through fire; though I am stark mad too
Never to be recover'd, though I would
Give all I had i'th' World to lye with her
Even to my naked soul, I am so far gone,
Yet, methinks still, we should not dote away
That that is something more than ours, our honours.
I would not have thee marry her by no means,
Yet I should do so; is she not a Whore?
Jul. She is; but such a one—
Ang. 'Tis true, she's excellent,
And when I well consider, Julio,
I see no reason we should be confin'd
In our affections; when all Creatures else
Enjoy still where they like.
Jul. And so will I then.
Lel. He's fast enough I hope now, if I hold him.
