No, she that is mine, I will teach to entertain at another rate. Nur. How, Sir? Why, what do you take my young Mistress to be? Sir Tim. A Woman and a fine one, and so fine as she ought to permit her self to be seen, and be ador'd. Nur. Out upon you, would you expose your Wife? by my troth, and I were she, I know what I wou'd do Sir Tim.
Who gave this bright light luster unto thee, Admir'd, ador'd for ever, be that Majesty. Silent alone, where none or saw or heard, In pathless paths I lead my wandering feet; My humble eyes to lofty Skyes I rear'd, To sing some song my mazed Muse thought meet. My great Creator I would magnifie, That nature had thus decked liberally; But Ah, and Ah, again my imbecility.
Father of all, in every age In every clime ador'd; By saint, by savage, and by sage, Jehovah, Jove, or Lord.
For my own part, I never presume to contemplate your Lordship, but my Soul bows with a perfect Veneration to your Mighty Mind; and while I have ador'd the delicate Effects of your uncommon Wit, I have wish'd for nothing more than an Opportunity of expressing my infinite Sense of it; and this Ambition, my Lord, was one Motive of my present Presumption in Dedicating this Farce to your Lordship.
Because I see another rais'd above me; Let him be great, and damn'd with all his Greatness. Pis. Thou mean'st Alcippus, who I think merits it. Alcan. What is't that thou cal'st Merit? He fought, it's true, so did you, and I, And gain'd as much as he o'th' Victory, But he in the Triumphal Chariot rode, Whilst we ador'd him like a Demi-God.
Then will oblivion bring to me no care, As over thy vales and plains I sweep; Throbbing and cleansed in thy space and air, With color and light, with song and lament I fare, Ever repeating the faith that I keep. My Fatherland ador'd, that sadness to my sorrow lends, Beloved Filipinas, hear now my last good-by!
The ready Victim is the noblest way, Your Zeal and Obligations too to pay. Cel. I think the Gods wou'd hardly be ador'd, If they their Blessings shou'd, unask'd, afford; And I that Beauty can no more admire, Who ere I sue, can yield to my Desire. Dia. Enter Friendlove disguised, as one from a Camp. Cel. Friend.
Unto the kingdom which our Lord Appointed hath for all That hath his name and word ador'd; Because he did them call 40. Unto that work, which also they Sincerely did fulfil, Not shunning always to obey His gracious holy will. 41. Besides, this much doth beautify This goodly paradise, That from all quarters, constantly, Whole thousands as the price 42.
Consider, my lord, you are born noble, from parents of untainted loyalty; blest with a fortune few princes beneath sovereignty are masters of; blest with all-gaining youth, commanding beauty, wit, courage, bravery of mind, and all that renders men esteem'd and ador'd: what would you more? What is it, oh my charming brother then, that you set up for? Is it glory?
But why the Devil do I ask Yes, you are still the same; one of those hoiting Ladies, that love nothing like Fool and Fiddle; Crouds of Fops; had rather be publickly, though dully, flatter'd, than privately ador'd: you love to pass for the Wit of the Company, by talking all and loud. L. Ful. Rail on, till you have made me think my Virtue at so low Ebb, it should submit to you. Gay.
