as foule As the deformed'st _Ethiope_. _Bel_. Whats the matter? Why do you staire so on me? _Bon_. To admire That such a goodly building as this same Should have such vild stuff in itt. _Bel_. What meanes this language? _Bon_. Nothing, but only to informe you what You know to well alreadie: _Belisia_, you are --(I cannot call her whore)--a perjurd woman. _Bel_. Defend me innocence! I scarce remember That ever I made oath and therefore wonder How I should breake on. _Bon_. Have you not with imprecations beg'd Heavens vengeance if you ere lovd man but me? _Bel_. And those same heavens are vouchers[69] I've kept my vowes with that strict purity That I have done my honor. _Bon_. I believe thee; The divell sometimes speaks truth. Intemperate woman, Thoust made that name a terme convertible With fury, otherwise I should call thee soe, How durst thou with this impudence abuse My honest faith? did I appeare a guest So infinitly worthles that you thought The fragments of thy honour good enough To sate my appetite, what other men Had with unhallowd hands prophaind?

Doe I thinke When I behold the wanton Sparrows change Their chirps to billing, they are chast? or see The Reeking Goate over the mountaine top Pursue his Female, yet conceit him free From wild concupiscence? I prithee tell me, Does not the genius of thy honor dead Haunt thee with apparitions like a goast Of one thou'dst murdrd? dost not often come To thy bed-side and like a fairy pinch Thy prostituted limbs, then laughing tell thee 'Tis in revenge for myriads of black tortures Thy lust inflicted on it? _Bel_. Have you don? Give me a little leave then ere my greife Surround my reason. Witnes, gratious heaven, Who, were you not offended at some sinn I have unwittingly comitted, would Send sacred innocence it selfe to pleade How much 'tis iniurd in me, that with zeale Above the love of mothers I have tendred This misinformd man. Ile not aske the authors Of this report, I doe forgive them; may A happier fate direct you to some other May love you better; and my fate conferr On me with speed some sudden
