ench_ Lady, who is content to change language with your laughter, and after your whole year spent in Tennis and broken speech, to stand to the hazard of being laught at, at your return, and have tales made on you by the Chamber-maids. _El. Lo._ You wrong me much. _La._ Louder yet. _El. Lo._ You know your least word is of force to make me seek out dangers, move me not with toyes: but in this banishment, I must take leave to say, you are unjust: was one kiss forc't from you in publick by me so unpardonable? Why all the hours of day and night have seen us kiss. _La._ 'Tis true, and so you told the company that heard me chide. _Elder Lov._ Your own eyes were not dearer to you than I. _Lady._ And so you told 'em. _Elder Lo._ I did, yet no sign of disgrace need to have stain'd your cheek: you your self knew your pure and simple heart to be most unspotted, and free from the least baseness. _Lady._ I did: But if a Maids heart doth but once think that she is suspected, her own face will write her guilty. _Elder Lo._ But where lay this disgrace?
