Be not asham'd, I'm under the same Premunire I doubt, little better than a but let that pass. Sir Feeb. Have you any Proof? Sir Cau. Proof of what, good Sir? Sir Feeb.
The senate's self, which should our rights maintain, From their free spirits, stoop to sordid gain, The power of right by gold corrupted dies, And trampled majesty beneath it lies: Cato's pretence the giddy rout neglect, Yet did not him, but him they rais'd deject: Who, tho' he won, with conscious blushes stands, Asham'd o' th' Power he took from worthier hands.
I was so asham'd of my self, that if there was any spark of the man left in me, I lost it. And finding every part of me feeble, and as it were lifeless: "I beseech you, madam," said I, "don't triumph over my misery; I'm surely bewitcht."
So help me Hercules, as thou art the greater rogue of the two, who to get a meals meat wert not asham'd to commend an insipid rhimer." When at last, having turn'd the humour from scolding to laughing, we began to talk soberly.
Let. Sir Feeb. Say thy Prayers! What, art thou mad! Prayers upon thy Wedding-night! a short Thanksgiving or so but Prayers quoth a 'Sbobs, you'll have time enough for that, I doubt Le. I am asham'd to undress before you, Sir; go to Bed Sir Feeb. What, was it asham'd to shew its little white Foots, and its little round Bubbies well, I'll go, I'll go I cannot think on't, no I cannot Bel. Stand
You may goe to Church in the Countrey without a new Satten gowne, and play at penny gleeke with a Justice of peaces wife and the parsons; show your white hand with but one Diamond when you carve and not be asham'd to weare your owne wedding ring with the old poesie.
Men, how ill soever inclin'd, being aw'd by, and made asham'd to attaque with so pittiful Arguments, as Vice admits of, such as they see are rationally Vertuous; whilst easy ignorance is look'd upon as a Prey expos'd to every bold Invader: And whatever Garb of Gravity or Modesty it is cloath'd withal, invites such very often, even where the Charms of the Person would not otherwise attract them.
In justice then you ought to me resign, That which the Holy Priest intitled mine; Yet that, without your Heart, I do despise, For uncompell'd I'd have that sacrifice: Come ease me of that Pain that presses here, Give me but Hope that may secure my Fear, I'm not asham'd to own my Soul possest With Jealousy, that takes away my rest.
This was the first hint the baron had ever given him of the discovery he had made of his sentiments, and it so much the more surprized him that he was told by another what he was not certain of himself: he knew indeed the society of that young lady gave him infinite satisfaction, and that he was restless when absent from her; but these words, and the air with which they were spoke, shewed him more of his own heart than he had before examined into; he blush'd excessively, and made no answer; on which, you have no cause, resumed the baron, to be asham'd of the passion you are inspired with, nor troubled at my discovery of it: I assure you I have seen it a long time; and tho' you never honoured me with your confidence in that point, have taken all opportunities of doing justice to your merit in the conversations I have had with mademoiselle, who I had the satisfaction to find was not displeased with what I said upon that head; and I flatter myself with having a good account of the progress you have made at my return.
Help, Murder! Murder! Pis. Hold, bawling Dog. Alcip. How cam'st thou thus? Come up into my Arms. Pis. 'Twas Jealousy, Alcippus, that wild Monster, Who never leaves us till he has thus betray'd us. Pox on't, I am asham'd to look upon thee. I have disturb'd you to no purpose, Sir. I am not wounded, go to bed again. Alcan. I'll see thee to thy Lodgings first, Pisaro. Pis.
