2528Doct. Her distraction is more at some time of the Moone,

2529Then at other some, is it not?

2530Iay. She is continually in a harmelesse distemper, sleepes

2531Little, altogether without appetite, save often drinking,

2532Dreaming of another world, and a better; and what

2533Broken peece of matter so'ere she's about, the name

2534Palamon lardes it, that she farces ev'ry busines

2536Withall, fyts it to every question; Looke where

2537Shee comes, you shall perceive her behaviour.

2538Daugh. I have forgot it quite; The burden o'nt, was downe

2539A downe a, and pend by no worse man, then

2540Giraldo, Emilias Schoolemaster; he's as

2541Fantasticall too, as ever he may goe upon's legs,

2542For in the next world will Dido see Palamon, and

K2 Then

2543Then will she be out of love with Eneas.

2544Doct. What stuff's here? pore soule.

2545Ioy. Ev'n thus all day long.

2546Daugh. Now for this Charme, that I told you of, you must

2547Bring a peece of silver on the tip of your tongue,

2548Or no ferry: then if it be your chance to come where

2549The blessed spirits, as the'rs a sight now; we maids

2550That have our Lyvers, perish'd, crakt to peeces with

2551Love, we shall come there, and doe nothing all day long

2552But picke flowers with Proserpine, then will I make

2553Palamon a Nosegay, then let him marke me,---then.

2554Doct. How prettily she's amisse? note her a little further.

2555Dau. Faith ile tell you, sometime we goe to Barly breake,

2556We of the blessed; alas, tis a sore life they have i'th

2557Thother place, such burning, frying, boyling, hissing,

2558Howling, chattring, cursing, oh they have shrowd

2559Measure, take heede; if one be mad, or hang or

2560Drowne themselves, thither they goe, Iupiter blesse

2561Vs, and there shall we be put in a Caldron of

2562Lead, and Vsurers grease, amongst a whole million of

2563Cutpurses, and there boyle like a Gamon of Bacon

2564That will never be enough. Exit.

2565Doct. How her braine coynes?

2566Daugh. Lords and Courtiers, that have got maids with

2567Child, they are in this place, they shall stand in fire up to the

2568Nav'le, and in yce up to 'th hart, and there th' offending part

2569burnes, and the deceaving part freezes; in troth a very gree-

2570vous punishment, as one would thinke, for such a Trifle, be-

2571leve me one would marry a leaprous witch, to be rid on't

2572Ile assure you.

2573Doct. How she continues this fancie? Tis not an engraffed

2574Madnesse, but a most thicke, and profound mellencholly.

2575Daugh. To heare there a proud Lady, and a proud Citty

2576wiffe, howle together: I were a beast and il'd call it good

2577sport: one cries, o this smoake, another this fire; One cries, o,

2578that ever I did it behind the arras, and then howles; th' other

2579curses a suing fellow and her garden house.

2580Sings. I will be true, my stars, my fate, &c. Exit. Daugh.

2581Iay. What thinke you of her Sir?

2582Doct. I think she has a perturbed minde, which I(cannot minister to.

2583Iay. Alas, what then?

2584Doct. Vnderstand you, she ever affected any man, ere

2585She beheld Palamon?

2586Iay. I was once Sir, in great hope, she had fixd her

2587Liking on this gentleman my friend.

2588Woo. I did thinke so too, and would account I had a(great

2589Pen-worth on't, to give halfe my state, that both

2590She and I at this present stood unfainedly on the

2591Same tearmes.

2592Do. That intemprat surfeit of her eye, hath distemperd(the

2593Other sences, they may returne and settle againe to

2594Execute their preordaind faculties, but they are

2595Now in a most extravagant vagary. This you

2596Must doe, Confine her to a place, where the light

2597May rather seeme to steale in, then be permitted; take

2598Vpon you (yong Sir her friend) the name of

2599Palamon, say you come to eate with her, and to

2600Commune of Love; this will catch her attention, for

2601This her minde beates upon; other objects that are

2602Inserted tweene her minde and eye, become the prankes

2603And friskins of her madnes; Sing to her, such greene

2604Songs of Love, as she sayes Palamon hath sung in

2605Prison; Come to her, stucke in as sweet flowers, as the

2606Season is mistres of, and thereto make an addition of

2607Som other compounded odours, which are grateful to the

2608Sence: all this shall become Palamon, for Palamon can

2609Sing, and Palamon is sweet, and ev'ry good thing, desire

2610To eate with her, crave her, drinke to her, and still

2611Among, intermingle your petition of grace and acceptance

2612Into her favour: Learne what Maides have beene her

2613Companions, and play-pheeres, and let them repaire to

2614Her with Palamon in their mouthes, and appeare with

2615Tokens, as if they suggested for him, It is a falsehood

2616She is in, which is with fasehoods to be combated.

2617This may bring her to eate, to sleepe, and reduce what's

2618Now out of square in her, into their former law, and

K3 Regiment

2619Regiment; I have seene it approved, how many times

2620I know not, but to make the number more, I have

2621Great hope in this. I will betweene the passages of

2622This project, come in with my applyance: Let us

2623Put it in execution; and hasten the successe, which doubt not

2624Will bring forth comfort. Florish. Exeunt.
