And knowing manners, to give entertainment;—
Hippolytus himself would leave Diana,
To follow such a Venus.
Lord Lovell: Love hath made you poetical, Allworth.
In another scene, between Sir Giles Overreach, an extortioner, and his daughter Margaret, the father gives his daughter amatory but sinister advice that is tantamount to the prescriptions of the Kama Sutra and similar manuals:
Margaret: There’s too much disparity
between his quality and mine, to hope it.
Overreach: I more than hope’t, and doubt not to effect it.
Be thou no enemy to thyself, my wealth
Shall weigh his titles down, and make you equals.
