nd wife,
having the benefit of your eyes. But neither follow him so
much in folly, but love one in whom you may better delight.

VALINGFORD.
Father Miller, thy daughter shall have honor by graunting me
her love. I am a Gentleman of king Williams Court, and no
mean man in king Williams favour.

EM.
If you be a Lord, sir, as you say, you offer both your self
and me great wrong: yours, as apparent, in limiting your
love so unorderly, for which you rashly endure reprochement;
mine, as open and evident, when, being shut from the vanities
of this world, you would have me as an open gazing stock to
all the world; for lust, not love, leads you into this error.
But from the one I will keep me as well as I can, and yield
the other to none but to my father, as I am bound by duty.

VALINGFORD.
Why, fair Em, Manville hath forsaken thee, and must at
Chester be married: which if I speak otherwise than true,
let thy father speak what credibly he hath heard.

EM.
But can it be Manville will deal so unkindly to reward my
justice with such monstrous ungentleness? Have I dissembled
for thy sake, and doest thou now thus requite it? In deed
these many days I have not seen him, which hath made me
marvel at his long absence. But, father, are you assured
of the words he spake were concerning Manville?

MILLER.
In sooth, daughter, now it is foorth I must needs confirm
it: Maister Manville hath forsaken thee, and at Chester
must be married to a mans daughter of no little wealth.
His own father procures it, and therefore I dare credit
it; and do thou believe it, for trust me, daughter, it is so.

EM.
Then, good father, pardon the injury that I have done to
you, only causing your grief, by over-fond affecting a man
so trothless. And you likewise, sir, I pray hold me
excused, a I hope this cause will allow sufficiently for
me: My love to Manville, thinking he would requite it,
hath made me double with my father and you, and many more
besides, which I will no longer hide from you. That
inticing speeches should not beguile me, I have made my
self deaf to any but to him; and lest any mans person
should please me more than his, I have dissembled the want
of sight: Both which shadows of my irrevocable affections
