Y. Lord W. Nay, you could not have pleased me better, than seeing you so invincible, and of such difficult attaining to. I would not give a pin for the society of a female that should seem willing; but give me a wench that hath disdainful looks;
For 'tis denial whets an appetite,
When proffer'd service doth allay delight.
Reb. The fool's well-read in vice. [Aside.] My lord, I hope you hereafter will no farther insinuate in the course of your affections; and, for the better withdrawing from them, you may please to know, I have irrevocably decreed never to marry.
Y. Lord W. Never to marry! Peter, I pray bear witness of her words that, when I have attained her, it may add to my fame and conquest.
Reb. Yes, indeed, an't like your lordship.
Y. Lord W. Nay, ye must think, Beck, I know how to woo; ye shall find no bashful university-man of me.
Reb. Indeed, I think y' had ne'er that bringing up. Did you ever study, my lord?
Y. Lord W. Yes, faith, that I have, and, the last week too, three days and a night together.
Reb. About what, I pray?
