, ill tempred fires, True Love I find a pleasant fume, Whose moderate heat can ne'r consume. _Clo_. And I a new fire feel in me, Whose chaste flame is not quencht to be. _Clor_. Join your hands with modest touch, And for ever keep you such. _Enter_ Perigot. _Per_. Yon is her Cabin, thus far off I'll stand, And call her forth; for my unhallowed hand I dare not bring so near yon sacred place. _Clorin_ come forth, and do a timely grace To a poor Swain. _Clo_. What art thou that dost call? _Clorin_ is ready to do good to all: Come near. _Peri_. I dare not. _Clor. Satyr_, see Who it is that calls on me. _Sat_. There at hand, some Swain doth stand, Stretching out a bloudy hand. _Peri_. Come _Clorin_, bring thy holy waters clear, To wash my hand. _Clo_. What wonders have been here To night? stretch forth thy hand young Swain, Wash and rub it whilest I rain Holy water. _Peri_. Still you pour, But my hand will never scower. _Clor. Satyr_, bring him to the Bower, We will try the Soveraign power Of other waters. _Satyr_. Mortal, sure 'Tis the Blood of Maiden pure That stains thee so.

So over-great with joy, that you live, now I am, that no desire of knowing how Doth seize me; hast thou still power to forgive? _Amo_. Whilest thou hast power to love, or I to live; More welcome now than hadst thou never gone Astray from me. _Peri_. And when thou lov'st alone And not I, death, or some lingring pain That's worse, light on me. _Clor_. Now your stain This perhaps will cleanse again; See the blood that erst did stay, With the water drops away. All the powers again are pleas'd, And with this new knot appeas'd. Joyn your hands, and rise together, _Pan_ be blest that brought you hither. _Enter_ Priest, _and_ Old Shephe[rd]. _Clor_. Go back again what ere thou art, unless Smooth Maiden thoughts possess thee, do not press This hallowed ground. Go _Satyr_, take his hand, And give him present trial. _Satyr_. Mortal stand, Til
