Yet fright all aches from your bones?
Here’s a med’cine for the nones.
An amatory appeal is made in a scene from Bussy D’Ambois, a drama by the English playwright George Chapman (c. 1559–c. 1634). Monsieur, brother of King Henry III of France, addresses the Countess Tamyra:
Monsieur: And wherefore do you this? To please your husband?
’Tis gross and fulsome: if your husband’s pleasure
Be all your object, and you aim at honor
In living close to him, get you from Court;
You may have him at home; these common put-offs
For common women serve: “My honor! Husband!”
