So shalt thou put me to the proof, and know

If what I say accord with what I feel.

Doresta. Were my desire to bid thee serve quite clear,

Perchance thy offers would not be so prompt.

Boreas. O lady, look’ee, that’s downright abuse!

Doresta. Abuse? How’s that? Can words and ways so kind,

And full of courtesy, be called abuse?

Boreas. I’ve done.

I dare not speak. Your answers are so sharp,

They pierce my very bowels through and through.
