| <A NAME=6>She adds, moreover, that you should put your lord</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>into a desperate assurance she will none of him:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>and one thing more, that you be never so hardy to</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>come again in his affairs, unless it be to report</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>your lord's taking of this. Receive it so.</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=16>I left no ring with her: what means this lady?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>Fortune forbid my outside have not charm'd her!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>She made good view of me; indeed, so much,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>That sure methought her eyes had lost her tongue,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>For she did speak in starts distractedly.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>She loves me, sure; the cunning of her passion</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>Invites me in this churlish messenger.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>None of my lord's ring! why, he sent her none.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>Poor lady, she were better love a dream.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>Disguise, I see, thou art a wickedness,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>Wherein the pregnant enemy does much.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>How easy is it for the proper-false</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>In women's waxen hearts to set their forms!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>For such as we are made of, such we be.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>How will this fadge? my master loves her dearly;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>And I, poor monster, fond as much on him;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=34>And she, mistaken, seems to dote on me.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=35>What will become of this? As I am man,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=36>My state is desperate for my master's love;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=37>As I am woman,--now alas the day!--</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=38>What thriftless sighs shall poor Olivia breathe!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=39>O time! thou must untangle this, not I;</A><br> | |
