The lover from his mortal foe—the husband.

Give to the yawning husband your cold virtue;

But all your vigorous warmth, your melting sighs,

Your amorous murmurs, be your lover's part.

Alcm. I comprehend not what you mean, my lord;

But only love me still, and love me thus,

And think me such as best may please your thought.

Jup. There's mystery of love in all I say.—

Farewell; and when you see your husband next,

Think of your lover then.
