Faustus the shepherd, _Me aspiciens moils
blande subrisit ocellis_. All other gestures of the body will enforce as
much. Daphnis in [4985]Lucian was a poor tattered wench when I knew her
first, said Corbile, _pannosa et Zacera_, but now she is a stately piece
indeed, hath her maids to attend her, brave attires, money in her purse,
&c., and will you know how this came to pass? "by setting out herself after
the best fashion, by her pleasant carriage, affability, sweet smiling upon
all," &c. Many women dote upon a man for his compliment only, and good
behaviour, they are won in an instant; too credulous to believe that every
light wanton suitor, who sees or makes love to them, is instantly
enamoured, he certainly dotes on, admires them, will surely marry, when as
he means nothing less, 'tis his ordinary carriage in all such companies. So
both delude each other by such outward shows; and amongst the rest, an
upright, a comely grace, courtesies, gentle salutations, cringes, a mincing
gait, a decent and an affected pace, are most powerful enticers, and which
the prophet Isaiah, a courtier himself, and a great observer, objected to
the daughters of Zion, iii. 16. "they minced as they went, and made a
tinkling with their feet." To say the truth, what can they not effect by
such means?

"Whilst nature decks them in their best attires
Of youth and beauty which the world admires."

[4986]_Urit--voce, manu, gressu, pectore, fronte, oculis_. When art shall
be annexed to beauty, when wiles and guiles shall concur; for to speak as
it is, love is a kind of legerdemain; mere juggling, a fascination. When
they show their fair hand, fine foot and leg withal, _magnum sui desiderium
nobis relinquunt_, saith [4987]Balthazar Castilio, _lib. 1._ they set us a
longing, "and so when they pull up their petticoats, and outward garments,"
as usually they do to show their fine stockings, and those of purest silken
dye, gold fringes, laces, embroiderings, (it shall go hard but when they go
to church, or to any other place, all shall be seen) 'tis but a springe to
catch woodcocks; and as [4988]Chrysostom telleth them downright, "though
they say nothing with their mouths, they speak in their gait, they speak
with their eyes, they speak in the carriage of their bodies." And what
shall we say otherwise of that baring of their necks, shoulders, naked
breasts, arms and wrists, to what end are they but only to tempt men to
lust!
