Scoena Prima.
Enter Valentine, Speed, Siluia.
Valen.
Not mine: my Gloues are on.
Sp.
Why then this may be yours: for this is but one.
Ʋal.
Ha? Let me see: I, giue it me, it's mine:
Sweet Ornament, that deckes a thing diuine,
Ah Siluia, Siluia.
Speed.
Madam Siluia: Madam Siluia.
Speed.
Shee is not within hearing Sir.
Val.
Why sir, who had you call her?
Speed.
Your worship s••, or else I mistooke.
Val.
Well: you'll still be too forward.
Speed.
And yet I was last chidden for being too slow.
Val.
Goe to, sir, tell me: do you know Madam Siluia?
Speed.
Shee that your worship loues?
Val.
Why, how know you that I am in loue?
Speed.
Marry by these speciall markes: first, you haue learn'd (like Sir Protheus) to wreath your Armes like a Male-content: to rellish a Loue-song, like a Robin-red-breast: to walke alone like one that had the pestilence: to sigh, like a Schoole-boy that had lost his A. B. C. to weep like a yong wench that had buried her Grandam: to fast, like one that takes diet: to watch, like one that feares robbing: to speake puling, like a beggar at Hal∣low-Masse: You were wont, when you laughed, to crow like a cocke; when you walk'd, to walke like one of the Lions: when you fasted, it was presently after dinner: when you look'd sadly, it was for want of money: And now you are Metamorphis'd with a Mistris, that when I looke on you, I can hardly thinke you my Master.
Val.
Are all these things perceiu'd in me?
Speed.
They are all perceiu'd without ye.
Val.
Without me? they cannot.
Speed.
Without you? nay, that's certaine: for with∣out you were so simple, none else would: but you are so without these follies, that these follies are within you, and shine through you like the water in an Vrinall: that not an eye that sees you, but is a Physician to comment on your Malady.
Val.
But tell me: do'st thou know my Lady Siluia?
Speed.
Shee that you gaze on so, as she sits at supper?
Val.
Hast thou obseru'd that? euen she I meane.
Speed.
Why sir, I know her not.
Val.
Do'st thou know her by my gazing on her, and yet know'st her not?
Speed.
Is she not hard-fauour'd, sir?
Val.
Not so faire (boy) as well fauour'd.
Speed.
Sir, I know that well enough.
Ʋal.
What dost thou know?
Speed.
That shee is not so faire, as (of you) well-fa∣uourd?
Val.
I meane that her beauty is exquisite,
But her fauour infinite.
Speed.
That's because the one is painted, and the o∣ther out of all count.
Val.
How painted? and how out of count?
Speed.
Marry sir, so painted to make her faire, that no man counts of her beauty.
Val.
How esteem'st thou me? I account of her beauty.
Speed.
You neuer saw her since she was deform'd.
Ʋal.
How long hath she beene deform'd?
Speed.
Euer since you lou'd her.
Val.
I haue lou'd her euer since I saw her,
And still I see her beautifull.
Speed.
If you loue her, you cannot see her.
Speed.
Because Loue is blinde: O that you had mine eyes, or your owne eyes had the lights they were wont to haue, when you chidde at Sir Protheus, for going vn∣garter'd.
Val.
What should I see then?
Speed.
Your owne present folly, and her passing de∣formitie: for hee beeing in loue, could not see to garter his hose; and you, beeing in loue, cannot see to put on your hose.
Val.
Belike (boy) then you are in loue, for last mor∣ning
You could not see to wipe my shooes.
Speed.
True sir: I was in loue with my bed, I thanke you, you swing'd me for my loue, which makes mee the
