stick my beautie in a cloud,
And clearly shine through it.

Gonzalo:

This woman's in the altitudes, and he must be
A good Astrologer shall know her Zodiack.

Philander:

For any man to think
Himself an able purchaser of you,
But in the bargain there must be declar'd
Infinite bounty: otherwise I vow,
By all that's excellent and gracious in you,
I would untenant every hope lodg'd in me,
And yield my self up loves, or your own Martyr.

Erota:

So you shall please us.

Philander:

O you cannot be
So heavenly, and so absolute in all things,
And yet retain such cruel tyranny.

Erota:

I can, I do, I will.

Gonzalo:

She is in her
Moods, and her Tenses: I'le Grammer with you,
And make a trial how I can decline you:
By your leave (great Lady.)

Erota:

What are you?

Gonzalo:

A man, a good man, that's a wealthy;
A Proper man, and a proud man too; one
That understands himself, and knows, unless
It be your self, no woman on the Universe deserves him.
Nay, Lady, I must tell you too withal,
I may make doubt of that, unless you paint
254] With better judgement next day than on this;
For (plain I must be with you) 'tis a dull Fucus.

Erota:

Knows any one here what this fellow is?

Attendants:

He is of _Venice_ (Madam) a great Magnifico,
And gracious with the Senate.

Erota:

Let him keep then among them; what makes he here?
Here's state enough where I am: here's a do--
You, tell him, if he have ought with us, let him
Look lower, and give it in Petition.

Mochingo:

Mighty Magnifico, my Mistris bid me tell you,
If you have ought with her, you must look lower,
And yield it in Petition.

Gonzalo:

Here is for thee a Ducket.

Mochingo:

You say well Sir, take your own course.

Gonzalo:

I will not grace you
(Lady) so much as take you by the hand;
But when I shall vouchsafe to touch your lip,
It shall be through your Court a holy-day
Proclaimed for so high favour.

Erota:

This is some
Great mans Jester: Sirrah, begon, here is
No place to fool in.

Gonzalo:

Where are the fools you talk of?
I do keep two.

Erota:

No question of it: for
In your self you do maintain
