Whom I affect; but she is nice and coy,

And [nought] esteems my aged eloquence:

Now, therefore, would I have thee to my tutor,—

85 For long agone I have forgot to court;

Besides, the fashion of the time is changed,—

How and which way I may bestow myself,

To be regarded in her sun-bright eye.

Val. Win her with gifts, if she [respect] not words:

90 Dumb jewels often in their silent kind

More than quick words do move a woman’s mind.
