r eye down to your finger, and remember and speak of me: She will hear thee better than those allied by birth to her; as we see many men much swayed by the Grooms of their Chambers, not that they have a greater part of their love or opinion on them, than on others, but for that they know their secrets. _Abi._ O' my credit I swear, I think 'twas made for me: Fear no other Suitors. _Elder Love._ I shall not need to teach you how to discredit their beginning, you know how to take exception at their shirts at washing, or to make the maids swear they found plasters in their beds. _Abi._ I know, I know, and do not you fear the Suitors. _Elder Lo._ Farewell, be mindfull, and be happie; the night calls me. [_Exeunt omnes praeter Younglove._ _Abi._ The Gods of the Winds befriend you Sir; a constant and a liberal Lover thou art, more such God send us. _Enter_ Welford. _Wel._ Let'em not stand still, we have rid. _Abi._ A suitor I know by his riding hard, I'le not be seen. _Wel._ A prettie Hall this, no Servant in't?

[_Exit_ Younglove. _Wel._ What a skin full of lust is this? I thought I had come a wooing, and I am the courted partie. This is right Court fashion: Men, Women, and all woo, catch that catch may.
