(By which I onely know her) doth deter me. _Henr._ So doe they all men else. _Mons._ You would say so, 60 If you knew all. _Tam._ Knew all, my lord? what meane you? _Mons._ All that I know, madam. _Tam._ That you know! Speak it. _Mons._ No, tis enough I feele it. _Henr._ But me thinks Her courtship is more pure then heretofore. True courtiers should be modest, and not nice; 65 Bold, but not impudent; pleasure love, not vice. _Mons._ Sweet heart, come hither! what if one should make Horns at Mountsurry, would it not strike him jealous Through all the proofes of his chaste ladies vertues? _Buss._ If he be wise, not. 70 _Mons._ What, not if I should name the gardener That I would have him think hath grafted him? _Buss._ So the large licence that your greatnesse uses To jest at all men may be taught indeed To make a difference of the grounds you play on, 75 Both in the men you scandall and the matter. _Mons._ As how, as how? _Buss._ Perhaps led with a traine Where you may have your nose made lesse and slit, Your eyes thrust out. _Mons._ Peace, peace, I pray thee, peace!

O, my loves glory! he
