ot trust My Sister with, _Caesar_ is amorous, And taken more with the title of a Queen, Than feature or proportion, he lov'd _Eunoe_, A _Moor_, deformed too, I have heard, that brought No other object to inflame his blood, But that her Husband was a King, on both He did bestow rich presents; shall I then, That with a princely birth, bring beauty with me, That know to prize my self at mine own rate, Despair his favour? art thou mine? _Ap._ I am. _Cleo._ I have found out a way shall bring me to him, Spight of _Photinus_ watches; if I prosper, (As I am confident I shall) expect Things greater than thy wishes; though I purchase His grace with loss of my virginity, It skills not, if it bring home Majesty.
