cut through, I do not hold it so discreet: but a good face, Gentlemen, And eyes that are the winningst Orators: A youth that opens like perpetual spring, And to all these, a tongue that can deliver The Oracles of Love-- _Sce._ I would you had her, With all her Oracles, and Miracles, She were fitter for your turn. _Ant._ Would I had, _Sceva_, With all her faults too: let me alone to mend 'em, O'that condition I made thee mine heir. _Sce._ I had rather have your black horse, than your harlots. _Dol._ _Caesar_ writes _Sonnetts_ now, the sound of war Is grown too boystrous for his mouth: he sighs too. _Sce._ And learns to fiddle most melodiously, And sings, 'twould make your ears prick up, to hear him Gent.
