ames."

Every cloth she wears, every fashion pleaseth him above measure; her hand,
_O quales digitos, quos habet illa manus!_ pretty foot, pretty coronets,
her sweet carriage, sweet voice, tone, O that pretty tone, her divine and
lovely looks, her every thing, lovely, sweet, amiable, and pretty, pretty,
pretty. Her very name (let it be what it will) is a most pretty, pleasing
name; I believe now there is some secret power and virtue in names, every
action, sight, habit, gesture; he admires, whether she play, sing, or
dance, in what tires soever she goeth, how excellent it was, how well it
became her, never the like seen or heard. [5415]_Mille habet ornatus, mille
decenter habet._ Let her wear what she will, do what she will, say what she
will, [5416]_Quicquid enim dicit, seu facit, omne decet_. He applauds and
admires everything she wears, saith or doth,

[5417] "Illam quicquid agit, quoquo vestigia vertit,

dressed or undressed, all is one, she is excellent still, beautiful, fair,
and lovely to behold. Women do as much by men; nay more, far fonder,
weaker, and that by many parasangs. "Come to me my dear Lycias," (saith
Musaeus in [5419]Aristaenetus) "come quickly sweetheart, all other men are
satyrs, mere clowns, blockheads to thee, nobody to thee." Thy looks, words,
gestures, actions, &c., "are incomparably beyond all others." Venus was
never so much besotted on her Adonis, Phaedra so delighted in Hippolitus,
Ariadne in Theseus, Thisbe in her Pyramus, as she is enamoured on her
Mopsus.

"Be thou the marigold, and I will be the sun,
Be thou the friar, and I will be the nun."

I could repeat centuries of such. Now tell me what greater dotage or
blindness can there be than this in both sexes? and yet their slavery is
more eminent, a greater sign of their folly than the rest.

They are commonly slaves, captives, voluntary servants, _Amator amicae
mancipium_, as [5420]Castilio terms him, his mistress' servant, her drudge,
prisoner, bondman, what not? "He composeth himsel
