Lo._ Would I were so. Mistris, for me to praise over again that worth, which all the world, and you your self can see. _Lady._ It's a cold room this, Servant. _El. Lo._ Mistris. _La._ What think you if I have a Chimney for't, out here? _El. Lo._ Mistris, another in my place, that were not tyed to believe all your actions just, would apprehend himself wrong'd: But I whose vertues are constancy and obedience. _La._ _Younglove_, make a good fire above to warm me after my servants _Exordiums_. _El. Lo._ I have heard and seen your affability to be such, that the servants you give wages to may speak. _La._ 'Tis true, 'tis true; but they speak to th' purpose. _El.

Lo._ You wrong me. _La._ Then to land dumb, unable to enquire for an English hoast, to remove from City to City, by most chargeable Post-horse, like one that rode in quest of his Mother tongue. _El.
