As appear'd
Like one that knew his fortune at the worst,
And car'd not what could follow.

_Viol_.

'Tis the better,
Reach me a Chair: so, bring him in, be careful
That none disturb us: I will try his temper,
And if I find him apt for my employments,

_Enter_ Jamie, Servant.

I'le work him to my ends; if not, I shall
Find other Engines.

_Ser_.

There's my Lady.

_Viol_.

Leave us.

_Jam_.

You sent for me?

_Viol_.

I did, and do's the favour,
Your present state considered and my power,
Deserve no greater Ceremony?

_Jam_.

Ceremonie?
I use to pay that where I owe a duty,
Not to my Brothers wife: I cannot fawn,
If you expect it from me, you are cozen'd,
And so farewel.

_Viol_.

He bears up still; I like it.
Pray you a word.

_Jam_.

Yes, I will give you hearing
On equal terms, and sit by you as a friend,
But not stand as a Sutor: Now your pleasure?

_Viol_.

You are very bold.

_Jam_.

'Tis fit: since you are proud,
I was not made to feed that foolish humour,
With flattery and observance.

_Viol_.

Yet, with your favour,
A little form joyn'd with respect to her,
That can add to your wants, or free you from 'em
(Nay raise you to a fate, beyond your hopes)
Might well become your wisdom.

_Jam_.

It would rather
Write me a Fool, should I but only think
That any good to me could flow from you,
Whom for so many years I have found and prov'd
My greatest Enemy: I am still the same,
My wants have not transform'd me: I dare tell you,
To your new cerus'd face, what I have spoken
Freely behind your back, what I think of you,
You are the proudest thing, and have the least
Reason to be so that I ever read of.
In stature you are a Giantess: and your Tailor
Takes measure of you with a Jacobs Staff,
Or he can never reach you, this by the way
For your large size: now, in a word or two,
To treat of your Complexion were decorum:
You are so far from fair, I doubt your Mother
Was too familiar with the _Moor_ that serv'd her,
Your Limbs and Features I pass briefly over,
As things not worth description; and come roundly
To your Soul, if you have any; for 'tis
