Me for a myriad oft would bore,

That strumpet of th' ignoble nose,

To leman, rakehell Formian chose.

Your friends and leaches d'ye convoke:

The girl's not sound-sens'd; ask ye naught

Of her complaint: she's love-distraught.

Ametina, out-drainèd maiden, worries me for a whole ten thousand, that damsel with an outspread nose, chère amie of Formianus the wildling. Ye near

of kin in whose care the maiden is, summon ye both friends and medicals: for the girl's not sane. Nor ask ye, in what way: she is subject to delusions.
