te, that sound may call her. [_Exit_. Lute _and_ Song. 1. _Dearest do not you delay me, Since thou knowest I must be gone; Wind and Tide 'tis thought doth stay me, But 'tis wind that must be blown From that breath, whose native smell Indian Odours far excel_. 2. _Oh then speak thou fairest fair, Kill not him that vows to serve thee, But perfume this neighbouring Air; Else dull silence sure will starve me: 'Tis a word that's quickly spoken, Which being restrained a heart is broken_. _Enter_ Amaranta. _Amar_. He keeps very close: Lord, how I long to see him! A Lute strook handsomely, a voice too; I'le hear that: These Verses are no Law, they sound too sweetly, Now I am more desirous. [Leandro _peeping_. _Lean_. 'Tis she certain. _Amar_. What's that that peeps? _Lean_. O admirable face! _Amar_. Sure 'tis the man. _Lean_. I will go out a little. _Amar_. He looks not like a fool, his face is noble: How still he stands! _Lean_. I am strucken dumb with wonder, Sure all the Excellence of Earth dwells here. _Amar_. How pale he looks! yet, how his eyes like torches, Fling their beams round: how manly his face shews! He comes on: surely he will speak: he is made most handsomly: This is no Clerk behaviour; now I have seen ye, I'le take my time: Husband, ye have brought home tinder. [_Exit_. _Lean_. Sure she has transform'd me, I had forgot my tongue clean, I never saw a face yet, but this rare one, But I was able boldly to encounter it, And speak my mind, my lips were lockt up here. This is divine, and only serv'd with reverence; O most fair cover of a hand far fairer, Thou blessed Innocence, that guards that whiteness, Live next my heart. I am glad I have got a relick, [_A noise within_] A relick when I pray to it, may work wonders. Hark, there's some noise: I must retire again. This blessed Apparition makes me happy; I'le suffer, and I'le sacrifice my substance, But I'le enjoy: now softly to my Kennel.
