thus I shake from me The fetters she put on; thus her enchantments I blow away like wind, no more her beauty-- _Old Lady._ Take heed Sir what you say. _Cler._ Goe forward, _Dinant_. _Din._ The charms shot from her eyes-- _Old Lady._ Be wise. _Cler._ Be Valiant. _Din._ That tongue that tells fair tales to mens destructions Shall never rack me more. _Old Lady._ Stay there. _Cler._ Goe forward. _Din._ I will now hear her, see her as a woman, Survey her, and the power man has allow'd, Sir, As I would do the course of common things, Unmov'd, unstruck. _Cler._ Hold there, and I forgive thee. _Din._ She is not fair, and that that makes her proud, Is not her own, our eyes bestow it on her, To touch and kiss her is no blessedness, A Sun-burnt Ethiops lip's as soft as her's. Goe bid her stick some other triumph up, And take into her favour some dull fool, That has no pretious time to lose, no friends, No honour, nor no life, like a bold Merchant, A bold and banquerupt man, I have ventur'd all these, And split my bottom: return this answer to her, I am awake again and see her mischiefs, And am not now, on every idle errand, And new coyn'd anger, to be hurried, And then despis'd again, I have forgot her. _Cler._ If this be true-- _O.

Lady._ 'Tis in's own will, I had no further charge, Sir, Than to tell him what I did, which if I had thought It should have been receiv'd so-- _Cler._ 'Faith you may, You do not know how far it may concern you. If I perceiv'd any trick in't. _Din._ 'Twill end there. _Cler._ 'Tis my fault then, there is an hour in fortune, That must be still observ'd: you think I'le chide you, When things must be, nay see, an he will ho
