Amb. O love, Narcissus, wee beseech thee, O love. 380
Nar. Noe love, good gentiles, Ile assure you, noe love.
[Exeunt Dorastus et Clinias, ambulat Narcissus.
Enter Florida, Clois.
F. 74v rev.Clois, what ist I wis that I doe see,
What forme doth charme this storme within my breast,
What face, what grace, what race may that same bee,
So faire, so rare, debonaire, breeds this vnrest?
How white, how bright, how light, like starre of Venus
His beames & gleames so streames so faire between vs!
Clo. 'Tis Venus sure, why doe wee stand and palter?
Lett vs goe shake our thighes vpon the altar.
Flo. Most brightest Hasparus, for thou seemst to mee soe, 390
I, and in very deed thou well maist bee soe,
For as bigg as a man is every plannett,
Although it seemes a farre that wee may spanne it,
Shine thou on mee, sweet plannet, bee soe good
As with thy fiery beames to warme my bloud;
Ile beare thee light, and thinke light of the burthen,
And say, light plannett neare was heavy lurden.
Nar. To speake the truth, faire maid, if you will have vs,
O Œdipus I am not, I am Davus.
Clo. Good Master Davis, bee not so discourteous 400
As not to heare a maidens plaint for vertuous.
Nar. Speake on a Gods name, so love bee not the theame.
