many
confident messages from the State, that I think she's
resolv'd to be rul'd.

_Cle_. Sir, it is thought, with her he shall enjoy both these
Kingdoms of _Cicilie_ and _Calabria_.

_Di_. Sir, it is (without controversie) so meant. But 'twill
be a troublesome labour for him to enjoy both these

_Cle_. The second?

_Di_. She is one that may stand still discreetly enough, and
ill favour'dly Dance her Measure; simper when she is
Courted by her Friend, and slight her Husband.

_Cle_. The last?

_Di_. Marry I think she is one whom the State keeps for
