ous ceremony;
Were it [my] case, I should think time run slow.
If thou beest noble, youth, get me a boy,
That may defend my Kingdom from my foes.
_Amin_. All happiness to you.
_King_. Good night _Melantius_.
[_Exeunt_.
_Actus Secundus_.
_Enter_ Evadne, Aspatia, Dula, _and other Ladies_.
_Dul_. Madam, shall we undress you for this fight?
The Wars are nak'd that you must make to night.
_Evad_. You are very merry _Dula_.
_Dul_. I should be far merrier Madam, if it were with me
as it is with you.
_Eva_. Why how now wench?
_Dul_. Come Ladies will you help?
_Eva_. I am soon undone.
_Dul_. And as soon done:
Good store of Cloaths will trouble you at both.
_Evad_. Art thou drunk _Dula_?
_Dul_. Why here's none but we.
_Evad_. Thou think'st belike, there is no modesty
When we are alone.
_Dul_. I by my troth you hit my thoughts aright.
_Evad_. You prick me Lady.
_Dul_. 'Tis against my will,
Anon you must endure more, and lie still.
You're best to practise.
_Evad_. Sure this wench is mad.
_Dul_. No faith, this is a trick that I have had
Since I was fourteen.
_Evad_. 'Tis high time to leave it.
_Dul_. Nay, now I'le keep it till the trick leave me;
A dozen wanton words put in your head,
Will make you lively in your Husbands bed.
_Evad_. Nay faith, then take it.
_Dul_. Take it Madam, where?
We all I hope will take it that are here.
_Evad_. Nay then I'le give you o're.
_Dul_. So will I make
The ablest man in _Rhodes_, or his heart to ake.
_Evad_. Wilt take my place to night?
_Dul_. I'le hold your Cards against any two I know.
_Evad_. What wilt thou do?
_Dul_. Madam, we'l do't, and make'm leave play too.
_Evad_. _Aspatia_, take her part.
_Dul_. I will refuse it.
She will pluck down a side, she does not use it.
_Evad_. Why, do.
_Dul_. You will find the play
Quickly, because your head lies well that way.
